FBC--T25-COACHING IN IOWA

AMES, Iowa — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has been where Iowa State’s Matt Campbell is now in his career. Successful coach, courted annually by other schools and the NFL.

By College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo. UPCOMING: 700 words, photos by 7 p.m.

FBN--NFL-TV-GAMBLING

The days of TV announcers subtly mentioning betting lines or gambling during NFL games appears to be over. Six years after commissioner Roger Goodell said he opposed states legalizing gambling, the NFL appears to have fully embraced it.

From betting shows to networks partnering with their own betting services, the days of gambling being taboo on NFL TV are over. By Joe Reedy. UPCOMING: 950 words, photos by 5 p.m.

PARALYMPICS-A DIFFERENT BATTLEGROUND

Twenty years after the attacks of Sept. 11, and just days after the Taliban took control of Kabul, some American combat veterans competed in the Tokyo Paralympics — a corps of elite athletes who have triumphed over the catastrophic injuries they suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are a disparate group. Some are relentlessly optimistic. Others spent years wrestling emotional demons. Some insist they emerged from their personal battlefields without emotional scarring. Others insist that’s impossible. Their stories are tangles of adversity and redemption, loss and achievement. SENT: 2,400 words, photos.

FBN--49ERS-QB PLATOON

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Switching personnel mid-drive is commonplace in the NFL with running backs shuttling in and out and teams switching from three-receiver sets to two-receiver formations all the time.
