You are taught at a young age that part of the responsibility of being a journalist is to speak truth to power. Scott Pelley did it all the way to the end. Would that we all have the guts to do the same if/when the time comes.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Before Paul Skenes. Before Konnor Griffin. Before Bubba Chandler. Before Henry Davis, there was Endy Rodriguez. On Endy's winding path from top prospect to being 'swept under the rug' to a return he hopes will last. apnews.com/article/pitt...

Paul Skenes sauntered toward the dugout and tipped his cap to a standing ovation that's becoming the norm whenever he goes to work. The way the NL Cy Young winner is going, it feels as if it's not a matter of 'if' he'll throw a no-no, but when.

The Associated Press won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for an investigation into mass surveillance tools and their impact in China.

“We were just kind of ‘screw it, we lost five in a row, whatever.’” The Pirates insist this year is different. Their response against the Reds over the weekend — winning three games three ways — offered proof they might be right.

The sequence might as well have served as a metaphor for the Penguins’ season. Sidney Crosby skating off the ice in agony. The Flyers quickly tying the game. Elimination maybe at hand. And then there Crosby was, jumping over the boards … and the Pens bounced back. Again.

Reaching downtown Pittsburgh, like reaching the NFL, takes patience. Once you get there, however, the reward can be incredible as the city — like each draft prospect’s future — spreads out in front of you, rife with possibilities. apnews.com/article/nfl-...

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby would not take the bait, even though the smile on his face and the gleam in his eye hinted that maybe the Pittsburgh Penguins captain kind of wanted to. apnews.com/article/pitt...

“Gymnastics is not rocket science.” No, it’s not. Still, it takes a certain skill to bring the best out of your athletes. In that way, Cecile Landi and Jordyn Wieber and their resurgent programs at Georgia and Arkansas might as well be PhDs. apnews.com/article/ncaa...
