    What's the Coolest Sports Trophy?

    This weekend's Indianapolis half marathon t-shirt has the Borg-Warner Trophy on the back. I've always thought it might be the coolest sports trophy with its size, details and such. Definitely would be among my top three, along with the Stanley Cup. Wimbledon, America's Cup, PGA Championship and...

    Does the Heisman matter anymore?

    One day away from the trophy ceremony and it’s buried on the WWL, not a topic of hot talk/vid convo that I can see anywhere, and muddled in with NIL, the portal, LIV news, pros and whatnot. Does it really matter anymore, other than to the player and university that can tout the winner? Or is...

    Posting legal docs in a web story

    I need some help and have had a brain fart. I want to post-show five pages of a legal ruling in a story so readers can see-scroll-read it. I don't know how to do it or remember the name of the process or extension to search for it. I don't want to just link to the court doc because I've been...

    The Role of a Columnist?

    I didn't want to highjack the Spurrier-Morris thread but noticed one post that jogged a thought. It said about Morris that his role "is to be controversial" as a columnist. I've always believed a columnist should be well-rounded and have an opinion that sparks thought, discussion and possibly...

    Is KSU coach Frank Martin always this way?

    I don't know anything about Frank Martin, the Kansas State coach, other than what I see on the television or read from his pressers. But is he always this animated, crazy, assholish or whatever adjective you want to use? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=303552306 Sounds like he's a...
