Recruiting: Pryor implications

Lucas at Large: Are Packer quarterbacks prone to "tissue'' issues?
It just dawned on me why Mel Kiper is so annoying on television. Too many moving parts. We're not talking about his freeze dried hair. That hasn't moved in years.

On Preps: Memorable moment on the diamond
While I enjoy watching my daughter having fun playing prep softball with her teammates and friends, I have also had fun getting to know her teammates' families and friends as well as occasionally those on the opposing team. A perfect example of that occurred on Wednesday when Kelli and the Middleton Cardinals varsity softball team played a home double header at Orchid... READ MORE
