    Back in the 80s you had Sports Illustrated. I think they're still around but its not as revenant as it was before the internet. Somebody would get the cover every issue. I think it came out every two weeks.

    So you had Sports Illustrated, the local newspaper and sports talk radio. We had cable and that helped as far as watching obscure players from random teams but its not like it is today.
