What happened to the free scorephones?
It was the end of an era on August 15 when the final free scorephone report was filed by Jimmy Ashton. Having been a scorephone announcer for many years, from the Dial Sports 976 days, through the first free scoreboards, to GM of the first toll-free national scorephone, we will miss them.
But technology killed the radio star. The top scores and odds site plus the best betting information and free picks sites, all part of the Offshore Insiders Network has pretty much made the score lines obsolete.
