The stats pages for last season and history are always a fascinating read.Not-so-positives:I really, really don't like the glue binding and am not sure why they went away from spiral binding. I'm not sure how the 'media' feels about it, but I'd think that with the new binding, it will be difficult to keep pages open plus taking up more dieskspace.I also miss the full page review and analysis of each opponent for the coming season. Showing their schedule for the current year and last year's results were useful, as well as stats of key players. At the end of the player profiles, it gives a few pages devoted to newcomers. Problem is, I didn't see any indication that this was who they were.As someone mentioned before, it's a shame that only the covers are in color.

My mailbox leaks (my tix were wet) so I don't want the media guide mailed. I would much rather pick one up.Thanks

I don't miss the season previews, leaves more BULL space. They did do it on 2 pages, 178 & 179 - gave me what I wanted. I'd drop the Tampa & Pro Sports pages. Overall VERY happy with it. Great Job !
