I wrote some yesterday about how the Masters spans the time and the generations. Maybe only Churchill Downs equals the universal backdrop where all the greats competed through the years.

We'll start with the big picture — think of everything that has happened since the last time we gathered at this venue? Dang.

At least once a week I get an email from some guy named Jimmy Shapiro about gambling odds on all matter of sporting events and subjects.

The Southeastern Conference's most mediocre football program over the past several seasons doesn't look so average this year.

Just before Tennessee began its sixth game of an all-Southeastern Conference season, SEC Network analyst Gene Chizik said Saturday of the Volunteers' trip to Arkansas: "I think it's imperative they win tonight. Their schedule is brutal the rest of the way."

There are a lot of things that I still love about sports, but they are more singular and specific rather than rooting interests and personal favorites.

For more than 50 years, the one guarantee under the TSSAA football playoff format was the "survive and advance" mantra.

OK, by most reports, the NBA players and owners have come to terms to start the season in the days before Christmas.

Former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville soon will be Republican U.S. Senator from Alabama Tommy Tuberville after Tuesday night's decisive victory over Democratic incumbent Doug Jones.

Because Hugh Enicks is a pretty good distance runner in his own right - five national age-group championships and counting - the recently retired Red Bank High ROTC instructor has spent more than a few hours on and around the school's track.

You have to be careful kicking dirt on the all-timers.

Auburn sophomore quarterback Bo Nix now has at least one victory over every Southeastern Conference Western Division foe following Saturday's 48-11 surprise hammering of LSU.

It was early, early Saturday morning, his Grace Baptist Academy football team making its way back from its 34-30 road win at Franklin Grace, its final game of a 2-7 season, before Bob Ateca could finally reflect on all he and his family — both his own family and his family of players — had overcome the past eight months.

You guys and gals are what makes this place fun, because we all enjoy conversations more than lectures or sermons.
