Crime reporters call law enforcement throughout the day and monitor jail websites. They might, for example, call the public information officers in each department and the detective squads in each precinct in their coverage area several times during an eight-hour shift.

They also receive press releases from law enforcement agencies. Those releases can take the form of arrests for serious crimes or of notable people, among other things.

Reporters also develop sources who tip them off. On something like this, the tip could have come from the cops, jail, bail bondsman, court employee or from someone at the university.

GTFOH with your reasoned thinking and sense of perspective.

If not, neither LSU football, nor America, will be great again!

Sometimes improving means players need more time on task, or coaches need to tweak schemes, or we need to recruit better players. And sometimes it means we need to fire a coach. Sad, really, that firing a coach, whoever the coach, is always our first and only solution.

At some point it may become necessary, but it's like the only tool you guys have in the tool box. So, whether the problem is a nail or a screw or a bolt, you reach into the box, pull out a hammer and pound away.

Key takeaways:

1) "UH lost Saturday ... "
2) LSU won Saturday

Just another day at the office for the Tigers.

Ugh, I clicked on a Pete Thamel story.

I dream of a day that I'll click on an officiating thread and a high-school official nuts up and says, "Yeah, refs are human. Sometimes we screw up. This looks like one of those times."

I suspect I'll find Bigfoot before I find that thread, though.

According to the innerwebs, sportscaster Jeff Speegle is a native of Cullman, Ala., attended the University of Alabama, worked as a sportscaster only in Alabama--including Tuscaloosa. So, his opinions, his wardrobe and his hygiene are just what you'd expect.

The ex-referee offering the opinion is a UGA grad who is a personal-injury lawyer in Mobile...and he's the guy who blew the Patrick Peterson interception call in 2009.

What is the most memorable game you have refereed?

I did the Alabama versus LSU game in Tuscaloosa in 2009. It was an intense game between two top teams. I was involved in a controversial play when an LSU defensive back appeared to intercept a pass, but I ruled him out-of-bounds. The official who was supposed to make the call was blocked by an LSU defender, so I had to do it from about 25 yards downfield. The rulebook says, when in doubt, it’s an incomplete pass, and I had plenty of doubt. (Editor’s Note: Replay officials upheld his call.)

Still don't get what's so juicy about Ritter's day job.

“I’m always ready to get weird,” said Rob Ryan, the Saints’ defensive coordinator.

Here's a good story, with easy-to-understand graphics, about what Klinsmann and the team are trying to do and how it compares to other countries.
