Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. He is host of "The Geoff Calkins Show" from 9-11 a.m. M-F on 92.9 FM. Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
The melee at Golf and Games is the kind of thing that can happen when kids don't have enough structure and supervision. Now that Shelby County Schools has decided to start out all-virtual, what does that mean for the broader community?
