Sheryl Crow was born there. That's all I've got.

 

This is my job, so feel free to holler if you have any questions. It does come recommended though, and I think it'd be a great place to start at.

 

The Missouri Bootheel is an interesting place. Not far from Memphis, a little over two hours to St. Louis depending on traffic. You can be in Illinois in a short drive one way and be deep into Arkansas going the other direction.

 

the question is, why would you want to be deep in arkansas -- at least not anywhere south of Little Rock?
The other question is why opportunities to cover the Titans and not the rams or the Cardinals?

 

The Titans have treated us pretty good, credentialing us pretty consistently. Plus Nashville and St. Louis are about the same distance from Kennett -- about 3 to 3:15 away.

I never did go to a Rams game, but the Cardinals were pretty stingy about their photo creds with us. The Rams might be worth a shot, though, and I did get creds to shoot the Ole Miss-Mizzou game in Oxford back in '07.

 

This one has been filled.
