The role of TGS has always been simple.  Provide a complement to an audience that shared our same passion for sport, and would appreciate an informed opinion presented in a colorful manner.  Mort always chafed when some would refer to TGS as a “tout” sheet; nothing would anger him more.  Instead, Mort always believed TGS was more in the mold of a financial information newsletter, treating its content and audience seriously.  In that regard, Mort always believed TGS was much like its readership, and thus could easily relate to what the customer base wanted from the publication, and knowing they would not ever appreciate deceit.

Such a balancing act was forever difficult for much of the industry, where countless competitors have come and gone over the decades.  Not, however, for Mort, who worked under a different mandate.  Specifically, striving not only to distill all of the pertinent information, but do so in conversational and, when possible, colorful tones with the audience.  Mort though TGS should be a good read. 

The same connection to our readership applies to our extensive network of sources and scouts, many of whom share our similar passion, and developed over the past several decades.  While TGS has embraced the modern information network, the personal touch provided by our long-running contacts remains one of our priceless components.

From the outset, Mort also knew that much of his audience also liked to form its own opinions, but would still appreciate some of the nuts-and-bolts info that TGS has provided for over six decades.  TGS was the first to publish many of these tools, be they the weekly pro and college logs, power ratings, tech trends (Technician’s Corner), matchup dynamics (Looking for an Angle), or personnel developments (Special Ticker).  All unique and pioneered by TGS, whose information has been sought by major media outlets who knew there was only one place to access such unique historical info.
