    JSU/SWAC sports - (Jackson, Miss.) Clarion-Ledger

    There's been no loss of positions. Simple math: the columnist job replaced the recruiting reporter. The columnist will help out with recruiting the same way he will with everything else. Jackson State is a really good first or second job. David Brandt had it, and now works for the AP. Ross...

    Sports Editor -- Jackson, MS (Clarion-Ledger)

    Lots of guesses, and they're all low. It'd be at least somewhere in the 50s.

    Should papers from non-World Series cities send reporters to cover the game(s)?

    Suggesting that not sending a reporter to the World Series saves someone's job is strange to me. Yes, travel costs money. Enough to pay that hypothetical reporter's salary for, what, two weeks? Like others have said, a good beat reporter can get value out of being in the same city and venue as...

    How he finally met the mother (Season 9)

    We've spent more time with Ted and Blah Blah than we have Ted and the Mother. That's how.

    How he finally met the mother (Season 9)

    The end moment was not earned. We've seen Ted and the Mother interact a total of two times now. Obviously we know he is eventually going to propose and the first glimpse of them together was promising, but in no way did him getting down on one knee carry the emotional impact it should have. Like...

    MAC Media Day's going to be a blast

    Because there's no fanbois at SEC Media Days ... ? The MAC is just making the fans easier to identify.

    Louisville tips

    Fourth Street Live is just a bunch of bland chains and bright lights. Bardstown is where it's at.

    Doing Q&As

    They're best with subjects that can often be dry -- such as state of the department stuff with the local AD or similar administration folks. You can get all the info (When is that construction project starting? What's the focus this year for fundraising? What about that new NCAA rule/coach on...

    Where to Eat and Listen to music in New Orleans during the Super Bowl

    Go to Root. It's in the Warehouse District. It's fantastic and absurdly hot -- a bunch of scribes ate in an otherwise empty restaurant in March. In September it was all reservations and a full house at the bar waiting for something to open up.

    When Keeping It Real On Twitter Goes Wrong ...

    Not to speak for Wright, but two reasons for me: Biscuit > Texas toast Drive-thru > 20 minutes for some damn tenders to fry up

    CBSSports.com: Who do coaches think are the big cheaters?

    There's some truth to that, but there was also quite a bit of luck and being in the right place at the right time. All the recruits came in a row, and were influenced by each other. He got Victor Oladipo and Will Sheehey because he missed on Kyrie Irving, Josh Selby and Jelan Kendrick. Both were...

    Toddler on the move

    My son did the same thing, around the same age. We put the side down and turned it into a day bed, but he doesn't sleep on it. He slept on a floor for months — moving his pillow and blankets and such to a spot right next to the door and making his bed there. Now he's decided he likes the couch...
