« A Net Reaches Out to Fans, Wherever They Are | Main | Meeting with Roger Green »

For the New York Times Sports section, an easy story about the Nets--and two suggested tougher ones
Atlantic Yards Report
In a soft feature today headlined A Net Reaches Out to Fans, Wherever They Are, New York Times sports business writer Richard Sandomir writes about the unusual willingness of guard Devin Harris to meet with fans (in this case in Newark).
Easy story. (It also omitted disclosure of the ties between the Times and Forest City Ratner, though a column yesterday by columnist George Vecsey included such disclosure.)
I think Sandomir should follow up on a couple of real sports business stories that the Times has flubbed.
Those stories being the NYC Independent Budget Office's forecast that the planned Nets arena would be a money-loser, and the role of sports economist Andrew Zimbalist in selling the project's alleged economic benefits.
