"Sports Night" is the show that got me interested in working at a TV station. I can guarantee you that I was the only eighth-grader in my little Texas middle school that was tuning into this show as religiously as I was. Come to think of it, I was probably the only person in the area watching it; "Sports Night" lasted two seasons before being unceremoniously canceled in 2000.

This is a shame because the concept had legs. Set behind the scenes of a nightly sports news show, "Sports Night" was the television debut for creator and head writer Aaron Sorkin, who would set up similar fly-on-the-wall shows "West Wing," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," and "The Newsroom."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WAFF)- Immigration reform was the topic on Thursday in Washington, and one Alabama senator played a prominent role.

Jeff Sessions has been an outspoken advocate against the so-called "gang of 8" bill. Sessions added more than 45 amendments to it earlier this week in hopes of derailing the legislation.

Thursday morning, he outlined his issues with the proposals.

"It is not going to be helpful for American workers when these 11-million are legalized," Sessions remarked. "They'll then be able to take virtually any job in the marketplace because they're illegal and didn't come here lawfully. We've got millions of Americans unemployed."

One of Sessions' amendments calls for 700 miles of double layer fencing along the border - at a cost of $6-billion.  He quoted a famous poem saying, "good fences make good neighbors."
