Although I have no interest in sports, I would rather read the coverage aimed at those that enjoy a well written account of the rivalry than other news of the day. The tragedy of a woman sentenced to life in prison for the death of an infant is news—very sad news. The release of a book no should wish to buy is not news and commentators who cover it have found very little to comment on. The passing of Bo Schembechler, a man who stands out as a teacher of fair play to college men is a life we all may reflect on and consider the loss to society.
