Know what's worse? Overblown sanctimony.

I literally just read every comment under this story (including grays), and there isn’t a single one that says or implies anything negative about the way Chew has led his life.

This is exactly how I feel about this and the Chicago Tribune Olympics story. Both involved local papers covering wives of local athletes who also happen to be athletes but are less well-known in that geographic area than their husbands. They’re trying to tie the wives’ stories to the New Orleans and Chicago areas for…

Assume Notre Dame will move up 1 in the AP Poll.

Notre Dame is the answer. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and their coach Brian Kelly.

I think it’s wonderfully optimistic that you think he’ll feel shame over this.

What did they expect would happen, though?

I get as exhausted as everyone else by women being treated as accessories to men’s lives, but in this case I think it…

Because it’s a local paper, and people in New Orleans care more about their basketball team than they do retired soccer players.

If either of the articles you cited were from places other than New Orleans, I’d agree 100%.

Is the world cup on? I don’t care about male or female soccer players until then.

As a Gonzaga grad with a degree from the comm. department, this is especially embarrassing and frustrating. The school isn’t known for its diversity, so hiring the “white lady fired for racial politics” unfortunately doesn't surprise me. Hopefully her students still learn about the First Amendment somewhere down the…
