A roundup of some of the most popular, but completely untrue, headlines of the week. None of these stories are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked these out; here are the real facts: NOT REAL: Computer Models Show IRMA Destroying New York City On Sept. 10 THE FACTS: The government’s Global Forecast System produced a computer model on Sept. 1 that projected Irma would hit the New York City area on Sept. 10. The model was adjusted within a few days to show Irma’s target as south Florida, but...
Football season is here. One of my favorite times of the year. I love watching college football and the NFL. But, no matter how many games I watch and no matter how my favorite teams do, I remember it’s just a game. It’s a game where players and coaches are trying their best. They all have one goal in mind – to win. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s no excuse to berate or belittle players or coaches. One Texas A&M fan, so angered at the Aggies colossal collapse of a 34-point lead last weekend, wrote a hate-filled, racial le...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted overwhelmingly on Friday to send a $15.3 billion disaster aid package to President Donald Trump, overcoming conservative objections to linking the emergency legislation to a temporary increase in America’s borrowing authority.

WORLAND – "If you want to receive, first you have to give," noted author and speaker V.J. Smith on Friday, during a speech to Worland High School students in the Worland Middle School auditorium. For an hour, students sat transfixed on Smith's stories of appreciation through kindness, with a focus on using "thank you" as a way to validate others. A 1978 graduate of South Dakota State University, Smith spent the 1980s working for the Allied Signal Aerospace Company in Kansas City, Missouri. He r...
Previously on "The most courageous 2017-18 NFL season predictions" I made predictions for the 16 NFC teams, next up the AFC and playoffs predictions. And now the conclusion to "The most courageous 2017-18 NFL season predictions" AFC EAST BUFFALO BILLS If you can figure out the Bills front office plan send a resumé into ESPN or FS1 because even the NFL insider experts are at a loss for words. They clearly want to rebuild but they're doing it very oddly by getting rid of their young talented...
WORLAND — Miscues in the first half cost the Worland High School football team Friday night as they hosted the Buffalo Bison at Worland High School. The No. 5-ranked Bison (2-0) used the first half to go up 17-0 and never look back from there as they defeated the Warriors (1-1) 24-12. “That first half [Buffalo] had some big runs and showcased their speed. For us it was our mental mistakes not getting to our gaps and sticking to our assignments. Like we tell the guys, a guy can be the fas...
