I'm not that old, but I feel like I'm getting there.
Seems very true. Scout.com, PackersNews (GBPG) and JSO have practice recaps but they are video.

Madison.com (WiSJ) just has features on the story of the day.

A bunch of media companies have been making a big transition to video, because it translates well to mobile devices AND forces users to watch the ads. There will be a lot less written content on the web from big media companies for a few years.

The problem is that most of them, including virtually all at packers news.com, are terrible at video. The practice report with Nagler and the beat writer of the day looks like it was filmed by a cell phone, written by a monkey and edited by a ghost.
