Shouldn't Be News, But It Is

For a couple of years, I've preached the risks of college athletes in the public domain -- and the threat the simple cell phone camera.

The AG asked folks to take before and after snaps of gas prices, and he got over 1,000 text messages with attachments plus another 1,500 emails.

The duh, I mean, money quote:

"The effort shows the value of the technology as a watchdog tool."

And, I might add, a not so subtle reminder to Matt Lienart.
