Jack Stockfish had one offer to play college hockey. Now, he has the attention of NHL scouts. His road was paved with the help of his family and motivated by the death of his mother.

Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the White Sox wand after their walk-off and series win over the Cubs via Edgar Quero.
Before you ask, "Take Quero business" or "Handle with Quero" were too long of headlines.

I am one of many newspaper dorks zooming in on these fake pages. However, in case anyone is wondering, and I know no one is, he's holding today's Chicago Tribune with a fake cover. The weather page on the back is obvious. To confirm, notice the curly white behind it. It's this ad

The Chicago Tribune when Garret Anderson beat Albert Pujols in the final round to win the 2003 Home Run Derby at U.S. Cellular Field. He won the All-Star Game MVP the next night. Only he and Cal Ripken Jr. have won both in the same season.

In a media world full of banshees elbowing each other for attention, Larry Knutson let the moment speak for itself. He guided through devastating loss and stood aside for a community's joy to echo in victory. He knew it wasn't about him. He wanted ears, not applause. He got both.

Union's Tyler Dunbar decommitted from UND and had 2 points in 2 seasons with Colorado College. He never doubted himself, wearing the same number at Union as a reminder he was still the same player.

The most read stories take time/work. You don't parachute down and say, "Hello, athlete whose father just died. Tell me about him and how you scored 50 the day of his funeral?" You get to know people and earn their trust by covering games/things data says you shouldn't.

Imagine owning the Bulls during the Jordan era and the White Sox when they won a World Series and still being considered one of the worst owners in sports. Until leagues punish the pocketbooks of owners who do not care about winning, ghouls like Jerry Reinsdorf will ruin sports.
