I made a donation to a GoFundMe for one of the local teams traveling to a regional tournament game last week. I have nothing against giving to a good cause. It beats sending money to some random person who emails you asking for money so that he or she can get off an island they are stuck on in the middle of nowhere.

I’ll never pretend to be an expert when it comes to movie reviews. But if you haven’t seen “Air” yet, it’s worth the price of admission.

I’ve been in this business for nearly as long as it’s been since the Dallas Cowboys last won a Super Bowl. That’s a long time for those scoring at home. But the Cowboys and their lack of NFL glory over the last two-plus decades is not the point of this column.

I’ve said it about the girls when it comes to weightlifting, and the same can be said about the boys. When it comes to this corner of Northwest Florida, the athletes here dominate the sport.

It’s a start. That was my initial thought when I learned that Santa Rosa County is dipping its toes into the middle school sports game. Starting this coming school year, the county will finally offer what we’ll call an appetizer menu of sports for junior high athletes. Cross-country, track and 3-on-3 basketball are the options those athletes will have an opportunity to compete in.

I’m going to say for 364 days of the year, most of America could care less about women’s college basketball. Most of America doesn’t put it on its list of sports to watch on a Tuesday night in late January and no one is racing to fill out women’s basketball brackets for an office pool.

Heaven still doesn’t have a newspaper subscription. I know. I can’t believe it either. I also can’t believe it’s been a year since my dad passed away. 365 days have come and gone.

There appears to be a lot of transferring going on lately, and not just among college athletes either. We’re talking a lot of movement among high school athletes as well. One coach in particular to the east of us seems to be working extra hard to bring in athletes from Navarre.

For the most part, politicians need to leave sports alone. That includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. He and lawmakers in the state have these big dreams of trying to reshape the FHSAA.

I received an email the other day from one of those companies in the middle of somewhere about NCAA basketball. Call it good timing, especially with March Madness getting rolling this week with the NCAA tournament. It lists the top 10 best cities for college hoops fans and the top 10 worst cities.
