    Part of me from time to time wonders if I could ask AI to make me a sports section from 1990 to read, that’s how much I miss how...

    Fort Lauderdale may have run team-by-team stats before USAT (I know they did in the early-mid80s). But we stole USAT's idea for running...

    One of his previous jobs was PR chief of the ABA's Miami Floridians. Added a lot of insight and funny stories to Terry Pluto's book.

    Impossible to explain to the kids these days how magical that USA Today Sports section was for a time. Martzke a significant part of it.

    From 82-year old to a guy who had a stroke at 53. Sure. Maybe Jimmy Carter wants to run in 2028.

    I do think the Browns are a 7-8 win team if Watson never stepped on the field this season. There are too many flaws to be an 11-win team...

    Watching the Browns’ draft pick tumbling for a meaningless win. Yep, it feels like 2011 all over again.
