WSJ: A possible move? A sports page?

The New York Times reports on possible changes at The Wall Street Journal.
The first includes moving its offices to Midtown from Lower Manhattan where The Journal's staff has been for 119 years.
The second is the addition of a sports page.
Coverage of sports is part of Rupert Murdoch's plan to add more nonbusiness stories to The Journal.
From The New York Times' report:
The Journal regularly covers the business of sports, but does not cover the sports themselves extensively. But in recent years, seeking more ads aimed at consumers rather than businesses, it has greatly expanded its lifestyle and consumer reporting, adding “softer” sections like Personal Journal and Weekend Journal, and a Saturday newspaper.
People at the paper who have been briefed on the plan say it is very likely that a sports page, possibly tucked into Personal Journal, will be created in the next few months. But they cautioned that it was not yet clear how often the page would appear or what kinds of articles it would contain.
