Haason Reddick leads the NFL in sacks. He’s having a postseason to remember.

And on Sunday he’ll play in the Super Bowl with the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s a small world. When I first started writing here in Florida, covering sports for the Navarre Press – a role that has since stretched into the Press Gazette – Joe Surratt helped coach track with his wife, Mimi, at Navarre.

I never imagined he’d one day become the head coach of a start-up high school program, especially at Central, which, for the record, I had no idea even existed when I arrived in the area.

A total of 258 picks. Only 48 selected.

You do the math. The odds of being a women’s pro soccer player aren’t quite slim to none, but they are only a few houses down the street in the neighborhood.

I always find it interesting when fans lose their minds over a football recruit flipping his commitment. In some cases, you would think the world was on fire.

Tis the season to be merry. Check that, angry.

Most of you know my dad died in early April. Meighan, who you often see recording my post-game interviews on the football field, lost her mom in late September.

Deion Sanders is good for college football. But not everyone sees it that way.

The man best known as Prime Time is getting his share of criticism in the wake of his decision to jump ship at Jackson State and take the head coaching job at Colorado. He goes in hoping to restore the glory days of the Buffaloes.

There is a certain date on the schedule that needs to be circled this month. No, not Christmas.
Santa Claus will get his night in the spotlight soon enough.

I’m talking about Dec. 12. That’s round one of Navarre and Pace squaring off on the basketball court in the regular season, perhaps a preview of a potential showdown in the district championship game a couple of months from now.

Cold rain and chilly air made things less than ideal for the first ever NCAA Division II playoff game at Pen Air Field on the University of West Florida campus two weeks ago.
