In its first season in the Big 12, UCF frequently had to shuffle its offensive line because of injuries. This meant moving players to different positions at different times to ensure the best five were on the field at all times.

A salacious tell-all alleging shenanigans in a Central Florida circuit court has somehow found its way into a Broward judicial race, complete with a peculiar audio clip that would be scandalous — if it were authentic. It’s not, according to the people named in it. The book was self-published last year by a disgruntled ex-employee of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, who criticized the judges he worked under.

To all of those who are demanding replacement of one of the two leading contenders for president: That’s a terrific idea. If  you in MAGA-land put your minds to it, you can find a candidate who is not certifiable, nor a convicted felon, nor a sexual predator nor a wannabe dictator.  You can find someone who truly loves the USA and wants to make it stronger, rather than burn it to the ground.
