I always found it admirable that Dolly seemed totally awestruck by Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” No jealousy, no protectiveness of her own work, just joy that somebody had taken the song she wrote and made something new and special out of it.
confirming this. Parton also publicly stated she liked Houston's version of the song better than her own. 14]
Parton recalled that when she first heard the song while driving in Nashville the week of its release that she "just heard this voice come on the radio. It kind of rang a bell, but it didn't hit because she was kind of talking it. Then, all of a sudden, it went into the l Will Always Love You' part and I just about wrecked. I had to pull off the side of the road, seriously, to listen to it." 216]
Parton stated that she was "overwhelmed" and that Houston "made it so much more than it ever would have been."(216][217) In an interview with Howard Stern, Parton added "I couldn't believe my little country sad song could even be done like that. That was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my entire life." 29]
Houston told Rolling Stone in 1993, "I think Dolly Parton is a hell of a writer and a hell of a singer. I was so concerned when I sang her song how she'd feel about it, in terms of the arrangement, my licks, my flavor. When she said she was floored, that meant so much to me." 28]

If Tony Pettiti were in charge of World Cup expansion, 36 of the 48 teams would have been from Europe. You want a fun and exciting ride? Actually expand access and invite the underdogs. A piece I was born to write: What CFP expansion could learn from from the World Cup. www.espn.com/college-foot...

World Cup expansion had its critics, but access was a goal. That hasn't been the thing for the CFP.

"I don’t really be on social media. I don’t be on Twitter, because that is a toxic app. So I couldn’t tell you, honestly, but I’m going to say: for athletes, if you play sports, or women’s sports, stay off Twitter. Because those people are crazy on there."

After a fortnight that beautifully celebrated baseball, "one memorable image will be of Venezuela in the sunburst of joy. Another will be that of America alone, the hosts masquerading as toy soldiers, at home and painfully out of place." Excellent Howard Bryant piece in @us.theguardian.com today:
theguardian.com
Other nations danced for joy at the World Baseball Classic. Team USA played toy soldiers
Venezuela played with heart, Italy sipped espresso and the Dominicans showed off their verve at the tournament. America wanted to concentrate on war

Elana Meyers Taylor. Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22) In 2020 & 2022, she has kids. Both have special needs. She lives on the road with them, flying around the world for months at a time to compete in bobsled. And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold. American hero.

Nico experiences sensory overload at times and becomes overwhelmed, she said. The boys don't particularly sleep well on planes and then there's keeping up with their specialized treatments and medical equipment while on tour.""I thought it would get much easier as they got older and it has not," Meyers Taylor, 41, said at the USOPC media summit in October. "Bigger children, bigger problems. Now that they're both walking, they're both up. They don't want to sit on planes, they don't want to stay still. They don't want to sit for meals or anything like that. So it is absolute chaos."

That is a fitting, defining call + highlight of Indiana's epic year, of Fernando Mendoza's iconic Heisman season, of Curt Cignetti's legendary late-career Hall-of-Fame turn. Onions.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."
A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute.
Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner.
I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way.
Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose.
The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed adesire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why.
Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes.
I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic).
"To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

The story behind Pudge the cat is more than just about a viral locker-room mascot at Bowling Green: He was a gift from a mom with Stage 4 cancer for her son and helped her son rediscover joy after her death. Even Eddie George, allergic to cats, has been smitten. www.espn.com/college-foot...

Bowling Green's unofficial mascot, Pudge the cat, is more than just a smushy face
Bowling Green may have a former Heisman Trophy winner for a coach, but the biggest star on this team is a cat.
