The St. Louis Rams last week signed former South Sumter High and San Diego Chargers safety Clinton Hart.
Hart, a starter for more than five years with San Diego, was cut by the franchise in October. With the Rams, he joins head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was an assistant coach while Hart was with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2002 and 2003.

Africa and its people are never far from the mind of Rosemary Jensen of Umatilla, especially after seeing firsthand how their lives have been affected by the deadly disease AIDS. Read Full Entry
It’s the only way to describe Bobby Bowden stepping down the way he is.
When you think of Florida State University – you think of Bobby Bowden. He put the school’s football team on the map around the nation. Fourteen straight times his Seminoles would finish in the top 5 in the nation.
