Remember Mississippi State quarterback Wayne Madkin, the guy who set all the school passing records before his career crashed and burned, just like every other quarterback Jackie Sherrill has coached in Starkville? Wayne has recovered from his injuries and found work in the CFL. Dr. S predicts that Wayne Madkin will have a job in football this fall and the Jackal won’t.

Mississippi native Donna Ladd and partner Todd Stauffer founded the Jackson Free Press in 2002 in the capital city. The heavily awarded local newspaper did many investigations heralded across the state and nation and served as a paper of record due to its diversity, inclusion, in-depth reporting and deep connection to readers and dedication to narrative change in and about Mississippi. In 2022, the nonprofit Mississippi Free Press, founded by Ladd and JFP Associate Publisher Kimberly Griffin in 2020, purchased the journalism assets and archives of the Jackson Free Press. A Google grant through AAN Publishers enabled Newspack's integration of the JFP archives into the Mississippi Free Press website to become part of a more searchable archive of recent Mississippi history and essential journalism.
