The heavy snow expected in central Illinois Saturday is causing the postponement of the large class high school state championships at Illinois State’s Hancock Stadium. It’s the first weather-related postponement in the 51-year history of the IHSA state football finals.

I’m really surprised at the unnecessary effort FELOTUS and his people are putting in to explain/justify this “quiet piggy” remark. I guess none of them are smart enough to say the “genius” was just trying to shush a reporter he thought was named Peggy.

Tom Brady is being paid $375 million by Fox.
Good thing they aren’t paying him by the word; they’d be broke!

Happy 86th birthday to Dave Giusti, who spent 1 of his 15 years with the #stlcards. He may be the only player to be traded for TWICE by one team in the same off-season without being traded away.
(10/11/68): Traded by the Astros to the Cardinals.
(12/3/68): Traded by the Padres to the Cardinals

Hot take. NBC doesn’t televise the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. They stage a TV show in the parade’s shadow.

21 years ago I visited Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas for the first time.
62 years after that fateful day, November 22, 1963, debate still rages about conspiracy vs single shooter

I was fortunate to cover Lisa Bluder and Drake women’s basketball during my stint with Illinois State women in the late 90s. It’s great to see the Big Ten Network give Lisa the analyst’s mic for the Drake-Iowa game tonight. Fun memories with Jan Jensen and Jenni Fitzgerald, longtime assts.
