The Nicks Level
I’m a reporter for the Indianapolis Star. I was walking the streets of Indianapolis looking for the something, anything, that would make a good story for tomorrow’s edition. As I turned the corner onto College Avenue near the construction project, I saw a pit bull attack an elderly lady. A teenager, close to the incident, found a shovel and killed the vicious dog and saved the lady’s life. I rushed to the scene and identified myself as a reporter and started to interview the young man.


I opened my notebook and started to write. Colts fan rescues lady from vicious dog I wrote. But I’m not a Colts fan the boy protested. I replied we are in Indianapolis and I thought you had to be a Colts fan. I tore the page from my notebook and wrote Pacers fan rescues lady from vicious dog. But I’m not a Pacers fan the boy protested. I replied we are in Indianapolis and I thought you had to be a Pacers fan. I tore the page from my notebook and wrote Bulldogs fan rescues lady from vicious dog. But I’m not a Bulldogs fan either protested the boy. I replied we are in Indianapolis and I thought you had to be a Bulldogs fan.

I asked the boy what team he liked and he replied quickly, “The Saints, I love the Saints”. I quickly tore the page from my notebook and wrote, “Enraged Saints fan kills beloved family pet”.

This one is less lame...



Tom Brady, after living a full life, died and went to heaven. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Patriots' flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Tom," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Tom felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a blue and white sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Colts' logo flag, and in every window, a blue and white Colts' towel. Tom Brady looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame." God said "So what's your point Tom?" "Well, why does Peyton Manning get a better house than me?" God chuckled, and said

"Tom, that's not Peyton's house, it's mine."

I heard that 5 years ago when Manning was the ace for Indianapolis Braves. Some Colts fans amaze me with their attempt to crack jokes

Not sure how ya feel about this one, but in the sports section have a little section with an interview of a current sycamore athlete. Ask em some questions just besides playing the game. Fav food, movie, actor, actress, sports team, most memorable moment, fun fact... I mean I'm not saying that will get me a job with Sports Illustarted, but I'm sure the students would like seeing some stuff about Sycamore athletes..
 
I'm the Sports editor so tell me who you would like to see and I will see what I can do about it to get some of that stuff in upcoming issues.
 
Any athlete to be honest. Since it's basketball season, have one each from the women's/men's team. Spring sports you could do baseball/softball one day, track and field another day, and golf..Just a suggestion.
