Week 17 NFL games on TV
Posted Friday, January 1, at 9:42 PM
Both CBS and FOX have doubleheader weeks as they try to get as many playoff relevant games on TV as possible Sunday.

First the noon games: Steelers at Dolphins will be on all three CBS channels carried locally. That's KMEG-6/Sioux City, KELO-11/Sioux Falls and KEYC-12/Mankato.

FOX has Giants at Vikings on KPTH-5/Sioux City at noon.

The 3 p.m. game on FOX is Packers at Cardinals. CBS has a choice of two games. Watch KMEG (6) or KELO (11) for Chiefs at Broncos. The second choice is Ravens at Raiders on KEYC (12).

The Sunday night game on NBC is Bengals at Jets to end the regular season. No Monday night game - the NFL wants the playoff pairings settled before then.

Some bowl shifting for Iowa, ISU
Posted Friday, December 4, at 9:45 PM

Time to plead guilty to a little bowl hypocrisy. Iowans would be justified in their annoyance if the Hawkeyes get passed over for a BCS bowl berth by Penn State. The two have the same record, great fans, but Iowa beat the Nittany Lions on the road and gave champion Ohio State much better test...

Iowa to the Fiesta Bowl vs. Boise State is picking up steam. Bruce Feldman, the ESPN college football writer who does side-by-side picks with Mark Schlabach, dumped Penn State and moved Iowa from the Capital One Bowl to the Fiesta Bowl.

I'm a general assignment reporter and online contributor for The Daily Reporter in Spencer. I grew up, went to school and entered the work force right here in Spencer. And no matter where I was in life, I liked to read my local newspaper. My break in journalism came in the fall of 1997. The Daily Reporter's Sports Editor Steve Clark left early on in the football season for another opportunity. General assignment reporters tried to corral the sports results while they searched for Mr. Clark's replacement. In the meantime, I saw an ad for a "sports stringer" without fully knowing what a "stringer" was. I put together a "Pigskin Preview" (the Friday morning high school football preview column) for a writing sample. They let me pick up some of the slack part-time with cross country stories and football coverage for the smaller schools. I began helping more and more. Long story short, they found Mr. Clark's successor, but that guy didn't make it past Thanksgiving. By then, I had enough practice and demonstrated enough ability to become the sports editor. I then slipped into a general assignment position when it opened up in 1998. I've been on the news side, covering six counties for three different publications, for more than 10 years now. It all came from an interest in writing, some good timing and, hopefully, a bit of ability. I'll let you be the judge of that. The Mitchell Report will include views on current events, sports and pop culture.
