Paul Wellens praises James Roby and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook as Saints progress
Wellens said: “There was a big fanfare in the ground today and a huge amount of love for two blokes, and the biggest compliment I can pay them is that they are a little bit embarrassed by it all. “It just shows how humble and down to earth they are.

Ignore the snowflakes complaining about female athletes showing emotion while playing
Tulsa World sportswriter Eric Bailey is a fine writer, but his story headlined "Sooners' Enthusiasm Sours Some (June 6)" didn't deserve the space. News, I suppose, but by giving this aspect its own story instead of making it a paragraph in another, more positive piece, the boors are given too much attention. Some people will go through life looking for ways to get their feelings hurt. Don't highlight these ... no, I'm not going to say "woke snowflakes." Letters to the editor are encouraged.

Letters: Debate drives home that our choices are few, our future is bleak
After the presidential debate debacle, I am more convinced than ever that this country is well on its way to national suicide. I fear the point of no-return fast approaching. The next election comes at a critical time but I see no light at the end of the tunnel. We are faced with the choice involving an egotistical, pathological liar who, with the help of his cronies, transformed Washington from a "swamp" into a cesspool.
