I wrote about the one food-related TikTok account every single one of you should follow: the JCHS Lunch Bunch. They're a group of teachers in Kentucky who, every single day, go on camera and answer one question: What's for lunch?

How Kentucky teachers turned their lunch routine into a TikTok hit

“What’s for lunch?” For these Kentucky teachers, heartfelt hilarity and TikTok stardom.

It took 24 days for New Orleans to beat the Chicago out of me. I just walked outside and screamed, “It’s freezing!” It’s 52 degrees out.

Growing up is really just a series of news stories that make you realize things you thought were normal as a child in St. Louis were not.

I’m trying to find my dad at Bellerive, and cell service sucks. If anyone sees a 63-year-old white dude in a polo and a bucket hat and oh my god there are 850 clones of Tom Niesen within 500 feet of me.

From the Superdome last night, I wrote about Joe Burrow, Coach O and LSU building the best team in program history (or in college football history, depending upon whom you ask).

I spent every non-sports moment I had this weekend watching Unbelievable, and holy crap. It should be required viewing in 2019. And on top of how deftly the series handles the subject matter, Merritt Wever, Toni Collette and Kaitlyn Dever all have unreal performances.

I'm teaching a sports journalism class at Georgetown this semester, and today we're discussing the industry/careers. Which is to say, HELP! Fellow sports journalists, what's one piece of advice about the industry/job market you'd give a young person considering doing this?
