I was on my way back from my son’s track meet in Minnesota and got a flat tire on a Iowa interstate. I tried to request roadside assistance in my Allstate app (because I don’t know how to change a flat tire), but was not getting a signal on my phone because of where we were in Iowa, so I was looking down messing with my phone and thought instead of using the app, I would call Allstate (which takes longer). I was thinking, it’s going to take a few hours for them to get to me once I get ahold of them, when my son goes, someone is here. Like this guy appeared out of no where, dressed in Iowa Hawkeye gear and goes, “Can I help you?” Long story short, his name is Zach Twedt, football player for Iowa Hawkeyes…I just wanted to appreciate him for being so kind and helping a stranger out, who needed to get her kids home safely. He could’ve kept going, but he didn’t! What a good dude! May God reward him for his kindness today!

October has been the month of northeasterly winds across northeast FL, with the majority of wind observations at both Jacksonville International and Craig Airport from the northeast. Coupled with the recent round of King tides, coastal flooding has been common. @ActionNewsJax

I don’t post this stuff often. But at both the NFL and college level, something has to be done about the over-officiating we’re seeing these days.
I’m not emotional. Neither my college nor NFL team played this weekend. Didn’t care who won any of these games. But watching this Packers-Lions game - after watching football all weekend - it’s never been more clear.
I think we’d all way rather they miss something that happened than call something that didn’t.
Instead, officials are calling things that looked like they MIGHT have happened, not things that definitely DID happen. They are trigger happy. If it looks like it might have been (pick your infraction), that flag flies. Then often we see it DIDN’T happen.
Football officiating is really hard. I get it. Officials are trying to get it right. But someone HAS to tell these dudes don’t throw unless you know. It’s killing the flow of games. And the cause of what seems to be more missed calls than ever.
Any way, for what it’s worth.
