ATLANTA – Daniel Snyder isn’t officially on the agenda for the NFL meetings this week. Unofficially, the controversial Washington Commanders owner – under investigation from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Virginia attorney general after allegations of financial improprieties were revealed in a Congressional committee probe – is very much on the minds of some fellow NFL owners who would go as far as trying to force Snyder from their ranks.
Easy old-fashioned Southern broccoli salad is a crowd favorite and always a hit at potlucks and summer cookouts. It’s irresistibly delicious with crisp, chopped fresh broccoli, juicy cherry tomatoes and Craisins.
I have an apology to make. If I have looked at you and not spoken please accept my deepest apology.

PHOENIX – We’ve reached the quarter mark in Major League Baseball where the 2022 New York Yankees are playing like the ’27 Yankees, the Seattle Mariners are playing like a team that isn’t remotely close to ending their 21-year postseason drought, and teams we thought would stink are playing even worse than envisioned.

MOIESE, Mont. – A sunlit field along the Flathead River outside of Moiese was home base for all kinds of student learning recently. • Wildlife and science lessons paired with cultural activities and traditional games such as double ball, prompting some students to run and scream with glee. • All those play a part in the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ River Honoring, which brought about 400 children a day on Tuesday and Wednesday for its largest turnout since 2019. • The goal was to teach children about the river and natural resource programs, said Stephanie Gillin, CSKT information and education specialist, and “everything we do, we try to incorporate culture.” • So the presentations ran the gamut from wildlife to forestry and water quality. The children heard from Séliš and Q’lispé elders and scientists and experts from Salish Kootenai College and tribal departments. The Mission Valley Backcountry Horsemen came, too.
