    Mar 18, 2016

    CHEYENNE (AP) — Republican and Democratic party leaders in Wyoming say they welcome getting people more involved in choosing candidates for president but don’t necessarily support a radical shift away from their complicated caucuses. They’re not in any hurry, either. Primary season has peaked and now they’ve got four more years to discuss any changes.

First-year head coach Tracey Wiley, and her coaching staff, is ecstatic for the season to begin. While the team is young and the number of kids out is a tad low, that doesn't mean she doesn't expect anything but great...

When NFL owners meet next week in Florida, they also will consider such proposals as moving the line of scrimmage up 5 yards to the 25 on kickoff touchbacks, allowing coaches and players to use video rather than just photos on sideline tablets, and expanding the penalties on hor...
