Poll: Where do you get your sports news?

Posted by: joel In: Polls

In last weeks poll, we asked about cellphone usage among our readers. We found that our P&T readers are strong adopters of mobile technology, with almost half carrying a smart phone with a email and web data package. Another third at least had a cell phone with texting capabilities.

This week, with the baseball playoffs on and the NFL & NHL seasons in full thrust, let’s put our ball caps on:
