Today is day one without the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It’s also the first day of WVPE’s fall membership drive. 100% of federal and state funding is gone, which now means 100% of our funding comes from this community. You. Call 888-399-9873 or visit wvpe.org to donate today.

If you told me the number 93 would factor big in my weekend I would think it would be my golf score—not the combined total number of points given up by the two main football teams I root for:p

“A living, breathing virus inflicting pain on opponents in ways that seem almost preternatural” for a team that was 16th in YPG allowed and 5th in PPG. That an above average defense let’s not get dramatic
Something is happening in Minnesota.
Coordinator Brian Flores didn’t just develop a defense unlike any other. He concocted a living, breathing virus inflicting pain on opponents in ways that seem almost preternatural.

Also true for journalists!
If you loved an author’s book, tell them! They will completely ignore it because they’re fixated forever on the anonymous person who once gave them two stars on goodreads but it’s probably good for your karma

Appreciated this feature on Prof. Burman. A great intellectual who was an engaging lecturer (not an easy combo to pull off!). A lot of what he’s calling for at the Medieval Academy of America sounds like what we heard in his lectures.

This always seemed the most likely outcome after the injury. Pacers owner is 90+ years old. Coming off a finals run and with no haliburton for the next season, he was never going to try and be competitive next year in terms of the payroll
FROM SHAMS:
Turner, the longest tenured Pacer, made it known he wished to remain in Indiana. Since the Game 7 exit, Turner’s reps pushed to get a deal done. Ultimately, Indiana’s aversion to the tax, which grew after Tyrese Haliburton’s injury, allowed Bucks to get the new franchise center.

FROM SHAMS:
BREAKING: Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources tell ESPN. Stunner.

Reporters have little to no input on editorials or other opinion pieces a publication puts out.
Second one is we aren’t going to run a story if the only source of information is “you heard something is happening.”

The death penalty is always inhumane. Keep Indiana doctors out of it. | Opinion
Indiana's lethal injections force doctors to break their "do no harm" oath while costing $450,000 per execution.

Hot take: I didn’t actually enjoy watching the U.S. Open this year. Especially the last day when the rain made it just sad and less a test of skill than of luck on your lie.

SPARK, the pop-up park on Monument Circle, has taken over a roadway in downtown Indy for the third straight year. In a city grappling with how to make its streets more pedestrian-friendly, what would it take for something like SPARK to become year-round?

SPARK on the Circle returns to downtown Indy. Could it become a year-round fixture?
The popularity of SPARK on the Circle has led some to call for the pop-up park to function year-round. Cold weather and cars present challenges.
