What the Friday: Meet a winner, a loser and a schemer

The Republic | azcentral.com

Dr. Jen Welter is introduced during a press conference at the team's training facility in Tempe July 28, 2015. She is the first female coach in the NFL and will be a Cardinals coaching intern for training camp and the preseason.

Republic columnists Laurie Roberts and EJ Montini are not betting people.

But this week on What the Friday they deal with life's percentages and how three local folks show us how to beat the odds, not beat the odds, and stack the odds in his favor.

We're talking about the NFL's and Arizona Cardinals' first female coach Jen Welter, Maricopa County Sheriff's candidate Dan Saban, making a third (unsuccessful) run at Joe Arpaio, and State Sen. Steve Yarbrough who has worked tirelessly to expand tax credits for private school tuition and, in doing so, his own bank account.
