ST. LOUIS - Tuesday marks 30 years since a turning point of sorts for St. Louis in "The Great Flood of 1993." On Aug. 1, 1993, the Mississippi River peaked at a crest of 49.6 feet in Downtown St. Louis, its highest point in modern U.S. history and nearly 20 feet above flood stage. Though flood conditions plagued St. Louis and much of the Midwest for several months, the turn to August marked unprecedented levels of flooding. The National Weather Service reports the flooding led to a river flow rate of around 1.08 million cubic feet of water every second on Aug. 1, enough to fill Busch Stadium II from the bottom to the top in around 70 seconds.

Mensing, Colorado SpringsHey David, thanks for getting us going this week. If Javonte Williams is healthy, he’s No. 1 on the depth chart. The question is what exactly his work load will look like come Week 1. Williams was in pads with the rest of the Broncos on Monday, though the team didn’t do any live tackling as it transitions into fully padded work. Williams and Samaje Perine figure to be the top pair, but the No. 3 job is shaping up to be interesting.

I’ve never once driven past the kitschy dinosaur statues on the side of Interstate 10 in Cabazon without thinking of Pee-wee Herman.Or seen a vintage red Schwinn DX bicycle without picturing the mischievous man-child character created by actor Paul Reubens.Or heard the classic instrumental “Tequila” without picturing Pee-wee in his white loafers dancing on a bar top to the cheers of burly bikers.Reubens, who created the Pee-wee Herman character as part of the Groundlings comedy troupe in Los Angeles in the late ’70s, died Sunday, July 30, and the world is a less colorful, funny, weird, and wonderful place for his passing.But Pee-wee Herman will never really die. With the work Reubens’ created – from the impishly, inappropriately Pee-wee of his birth at the Groundlings comedy troupe in the late ’70s to the more mainstream, and slightly better behaved, Pee-wee of movies such as “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and five seasons of “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” – we’ll always have Pee-wee Herman to ma...Latest news
