Before getting to the wild NBA trade deadline a few housekeeping items. First, whenever the Hear Me Out column isn't in the latest edition of the Northern Wyoming News, it will still be posted on the website at wyodaily.com. There will be weeks in which Worland, Ten Sleep and Thermopolis athletics dominate and bump the column, just like Jimmy Kimmel bumps Matt Damon after every Jimmy Kimmel Live! Show.

A recent survey by the National...
