Fight night at the Delta Center turns into a hockey game

A significant chunk of NHL talk radio air time this season has been dedicated to heated returns of former players. Brady Tkachuk got booed to no end when he returned to Ottawa last week. Quinn Hughes met a hostile crowd in his first visit back in Vancouver on Sunday. Connor Hellebuyck is in for the same when he plays in Winnipeg in November. Who would have guessed, though, that Olli Määttä's return to Utah would be just as spirited?

A Kirk Cousins Vikings Reunion Picks Up Steam with 2 Analysts Feeding the Rumor

Slowly but surely, the NFL's various voices are beginning to wonder aloud if the Minnesota Vikings need to enhance the quarterback spot. Seeing the QB1, the ultra-talented Kyler Murray, sitting atop such tame statistics will do that. But does that really mean that Kirk Cousins could be a Vikings trade target? On ESPN, Jeremy Fowler did some purple dot connecting while dropping Cousins down at 22nd in the list of top 25 NFL trade candidates. Meanwhile, Mike Ginnitti over at Spotrac has more explicitly drawn the connection between the player and team, including a Cousins to Minnesota hypothetical trade among his list of "5 Not-So-Crazy NFL Trade Deadline Blockbusters." The 6-0 Vikings are likely to be buyers. The 3-4 Raiders are likely to be sellers. As a result, the two teams look like natural dance partners, especially since they don't play in the same conference. Usually, teams aren't…

Fonts in campaign communications have liberal or conservative leanings

Yard signs for a local politician captured the curiosity of Katherine Haenschen. "I was driving through the region and noticed the same campaign was using a different font on signs in rural areas than on the signs in town," said Haenschen, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication. "I thought, why would this candidate be using multiple fonts?" An expert in political messaging, Haenschen and Daniel Tamul, also an assistant professor in the Department of Communication, transformed the question into a captivating research project.

Enrollment down, tax levy up after 2026 Appleton school budget passes

School enrollment is down and the total property tax levy is up, according to the final budget passed by the Appleton School Board on Oct. 26. It's the first budget since the school district went to referendum in the 2026 spring election to ask for an additional $15 million a year for four years. That referendum was meant to help the district balance its budget, which in the 2026-27 school year totaled about $302.6 million. That's down about 6.4% from the 2025-26 budget, which was about $323.3 million. The tax levy for 2026-27 is up by about $6.8 million, about 8.3% more than in 2025-26. The total levy is about $89 million in 2026-27 compared to about $82.2 million in 2025-26. That's because the referendum raised the revenue limit, or the amount the district can receive through both equalized state aid and property taxes. In 2025-26, Appleton Schools' overall tax rate was $6.09 per…
