Stream it: 'Sports Night'

"Sports Night" is the show that got me interested in working at a TV station. I can guarantee you that I was the only eighth-grader in my little Texas middle school that was tuning into this show as religiously as I was. Come to think of it, I was probably the only person in the area watching it; "Sports Night" lasted two seasons before being unceremoniously canceled in 2000.

This is a shame because the concept had legs. Set behind the scenes of a nightly sports news show, "Sports Night" was the television debut for creator and head writer Aaron Sorkin, who would set up similar fly-on-the-wall shows "West Wing," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," and "The Newsroom."

A WAFF 48 Wedding: Engagement Photos and more planning!

 

It may be Kentucky Derby weekend, but we’re also coming down the stretch to our big day! We’ve had a lot of things in the works and just finished taking our engagement pictures.

Sarah and I were a little afraid at how they’d turn out because we both joke that we’re not very photogenic, but we couldn’t be more pleased at the results. Butler Studio out of the Shoals is doing the photography for our wedding and also agreed to do our engagement photo session. They helped us narrow down a location, gave us tips and recommendations on what to wear (you’d be surprised at what colors don’t photograph well), and made what could’ve been a very stressful time – extremely fun and enjoyable! They were also very flexible when we realized that we wouldn’t be able to take our pictures in downtown Florence because of the massive crowds due to First Fridays.
