• BYU opens spring football practice on Monday, and here’s what tops the Cougars’ to-do list

  01-03-2020 23:39
  
  Provo • For the past two years, BYU finished with a mediocre 7-6 record. Coach Kalani Sitake and his Cougars will take the first step toward the 2020 season Monday, when BYU is set to start spring practice.Last season, the Cougars recovered from a four-game skid to go on to five-game winning streak that included notable wins against then-undefeated No. 14 Boise State and at Utah State to reclaim the Wagon Wheel.But the Aggies finished the regular season with a 13-3 loss to San Diego State.T

  A few months ago, I wrote a column saying I would vote for Elizabeth Warren over Donald Trump. I may not agree with some of her policies, but culture is more important than politics. She does not spread moral rot the way Trump does.Now I have to decide if I’d support Bernie Sanders over Trump.We all start from personal experience. I covered the Soviet Union in its final decrepit years. The Soviet and allied regimes had already slaughtered 20 million people through things like mass executio

  01-03-2020 21:15
  
  Amidst a tough stretch and lots of speculation surrounding Rudy Gobert’s future with the Utah Jazz, Tony Bradley’s development has gained importance. At one point, I thought there was zero chance Rudy Gobert would ever leave the Utah Jazz. I’m still feeling confident about that, but it’s hard to ignore some of the things that […]

• BYU’s basketball win at Pepperdine gives Cougars more prep time and a smooth path into WCC semifinals

  01-03-2020 20:29
  
  Provo • A month ago, Mark Pope touted the importance of February, the time of year when teams have to work through injuries, tiredness and any other adversity to push through for the thought of what March can bring.Well, the Cougars not only listened, but ended February with a 8-0 record for the first time in program history after defeating Pepperdine 81-64 on Saturday.

  Berkeley, Calif. • Rylan Jones has had enough injury problems lately. The University of Utah freshman point guard really didn’t need anymore Saturday afternoon at Cal.On Wednesday, three days after USC’s Daniel Utomi fell on his left shin and had to be helped off late in the second half of a decisive win over the Trojans, Jones made a surprise start at Stanford. He played with a padded compression sleeve on his left shin, and while his mobility did not appear to be 100%, it was

  Washington • Donald Trump was right.Germs are scary.For three decades, I talked to Trump about his fear of germs. When I interviewed him at the Trump Tower restaurant during the 2016 race, the famous germaphobe had a big hospital-strength bottle of hand sanitizer on the table, next to my salad, ready to squirt.He told me about the nightmarish feeling he had when a man emerged from the bathroom in a restaurant with wet hands and shook his hand.
