Good Monday

I defy you to find more good stuff inside the Monday edition of a regional newspaper anywhere in the country.

Sports columnist Gary Shelton makes eloquence seem effortless.

Read his ode to the courage of injured Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms.

Michael Kruse made me roll on the floor laughing with this collection of overheard quotes from the streets of New York.

And then Erin Sullivan made me almost cry.

Enjoy.
