Daily Journal Welcome to Atlanta, home of Coca-Cola, Home Depot, The Varsity, CNN, the center of the college football universe, and this week the 46th annual Associated Press Sports Editors annual summer conference. This week is the culmination of a lot of things for me. I will complete my role as APSE presi- dent, and I will serve as convention host. Let me take a few moments to address both. It has been an unbelievable pleasure to serve as president of this organization. When I joined in 2007 I had no idea what kind of an influence it and the members would have on me. It’s hard to believe that over a dozen years I went from being a rookie, learning from some of APSE’s giants – Jerry Micco, Joe Sullivan, Roy Hewitt, John Cherwa and many others – to all of a sudden being one of the leaders. Hopefully, I have served you well and upheld the honor and dignity that comes with the of- fice. We made a few strides, revamped the contest, and hopefully, we will get the APSE Foun- dation up and running. The one thing I have definitely learned over the last 12 months is that the term as president goes quickly. I vividly remember standing before you in Nashville and taking the reins. Now, I am looking forward to passing them on to Todd Adams, who I believe will do a fantastic job. However, before we get to that point, we have a conference to experience. For the next few days, the best leaders in sports journalism will have an opportunity to share their insights and further learn the ins and outs of our craft. We’ll learn about sourcing and how Brett McMurphy broke one of the biggest sports stories of 2018 while he was unemployed. When we leave, hopefully we will have a better under- standing on how to best work with our brother and sister organizations, and we’ll find out what it’s like when we become the center of a story. On Monday, we will be entertained by Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart, when he pokes, prods and jokes with our Keynote speakers, the first-family of the University of Georgia, Vince and Barbara Dooley. Tuesday we’ll toast Sandy Rosenbush with our highest honor in sports journalism when she receives the Red Smith Award. And if that isn’t enough, we’ll get to catch up with each other by spending some quality time at the College Football Hall of Fame, SunTrust Park to watch the Braves and the Mets, and a tour of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We have a lot to do in a short amount of time, so let’s make the most of it. Welcome to my home. I hope you enjoy yourself this week.

Although they won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash, their athletic accom- plishments were overshadowed by their silent protest during the medal ceremony. Images of Smith and Carlos each holding up a single, closed, gloved fist have become iconic reminders of the Civil Rights movement. What met the two men after their protest was criticism from the press, primarily sportswriters. This article examines media coverage of the protest and its aftermath, and looks at how reporters dealt with Smith’s and Carlos’s political and racial statement within the context of the overall coverage of the Olympic Games. n the night of October 16, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, U.S. sprinter Tommie Smith set a world record for the 200-meter dash by finishing O 1 in 19.8 seconds.

    The Ice Bowl: the Cold Truth About Football's Most Unforgettable Game

    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.
