Sports for me unless something specific catches my eye on the front page or the front of another section.

I go straight thru from page 1 to the end. If there's a big game that I want to know about, I'll go to the sports first - but not very often.

I get behind on my reading. When I sit down to get caught up, I'll go through them all in order. Just a little anal, no?

I read online now but if I have the actual paper at hand, I read in this order:

1. Front page

2. Local news. Glance at the wx page there too.

3. Tempo or what some of you may call Living.

Hate to say it, but the Sports section is usually last with me!

I print newspapers for a living. Most of my time is spent looking at the pages upside down and disassembled to gauge the quality of our workmanship.

When I do read a paper, I start with page 1, above the fold. Go to the local section (national news is read online most of the time), the sports section, and occasionally the entertainment section.

Front page, State section, Comics, travel and Sports ONLY on Thursdays for the Outdoor section, fishing etc. After the Super Bowl Stunt, the NFL'S forcing bars, rest. and other commercial venues to cancel their Big Screen Parties because the NFL wanted MONEY for this......"Phhft!" Pro sports IMHO, has gone to the DOGS! It's not about sportsmanship anymore, it's all about MONEY!

I only read the hardcopy Sunday paper. Rest of the week I check it online.

First Front Page, Business section, Local news and then the rest of the paper when I have time.
