Former newspaper guy. Yes, I like pina coladas, college football, the Steelers and soccer. Take nothing I post seriously - unless it's about BBQ or beer.

New Sturgill is a straight up boogie record, like I don't know how you don't become a private detective investigating a new case at 1 am at a sketchy bar in Atlanta in 1978 listening to it

A lot of them are still on display at the Rib Room. I sure miss Bill. Downtown hasn’t been the same since.

I love it the local Chamber citing a $2 million economic impact for our annual rodeo. How many times are they multiplying it? Nobody knows!

Desegregation of Charleston Schools - Encyclopedia of Arkansas Much has been written about the Little Rock School District desegregation in 1957. However, the Charleston Public School District quietly and successfully ...

Professional soccer players are now wearing shin guards the size of a pack of gum. But college players are going to be required to wear knee pads that do nothing at all.

Man, if players want to wear shorts let them. Those knee pads aren't helping protect anything.

Hey man, I'm sorry you're going through that. I've been there too. It sucks. Just know, it will get better. Lean on your people to get through it.

Every so often @drewmagary.bsky.social writes something that resonates with me like a tuning fork. This is one of those times. I am way more stressed out about the 4.0 student in my house choosing a college than the kid is!

One of those players is going to lose his Gold medal when the POTUS slips it in his pocket and walks off.

The Olympics, Finale: Team USA's Best Winter Games Ever Team USA capped off its best Winter Olympics ever with DOUBLE GOLD IN HOCKEY. It was such a joy to watch these Winter Olympics with you.

THE FINAL SPORTS! NEWSLETTER OF THE OLYMPICS

Team USA had its best Winter Olympics ever.

I wrote about why we can never let the worst things about America keep us from celebrating the best things about America.

Also, bobsled and cross-country skiing results!
