It may just be me, but I just can't get into the Winter Olympics. They don't excite me, at all. I am very patriotic and I love watching my country win medals but the summer Olympics are far better in my opinion. You can call me crazy for not enjoying hockey, luge or even curling, but they just don't draw me in like other sports. During the ... [Read More…]
Remembering the pioneers
"The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" -1 Samuel 16:7 Tony Dungy, former NFL head coach, used this verse to start one of the chapters in his bestselling book Quiet Strength.

Super Bowl: Defense wins championships
Super Bowl XLVIII was a disaster from the start. The Broncos started the game by botching a snap and it only got worse from there. The Broncos could not protect Peyton Manning or hold onto the ball the entire game, proving once again that defense wins championships. In this pass-happy NFL that Rodger Goodell built, we have bought into the lie ... [Read More…]
Golding’s efforts should be praised
"We are going to win. That's what I was hired to do, and I don't like to lose. I won here as a player, and I won at Arkansas-Little Rock, and we are going to win here at Abilene Christian University." These words by head basketball coach Joe Golding have rung in my head since February 2012 when Golding shared his vision of a revived basketball ... [Read More…]
Sherman was disrespectful, but not a thug
Richard Sherman is cockiness incarnate. Sherman has been a force in the NFL the last two years becoming one of the leagues top corners and leading the league with 16 interceptions. He has not only shut down opponents on the field but also off. Unfortunately, his game is overshadowed by his post-game rants, which leads to Sherman unjustly being ... [Read More…]
New Year’s Resolution: Be the advantage

At the same time, the men's basketball team has a ... [Read More…]
Biggio, Piazza among BBWAA casualties
Every January, the Baseball Writer's Association of America casts their votes to induct the newest members of the baseball Hall of Fame. After this year's vote, it is clear that the voting process needs to be changed. Let me preface this by saying that Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas are all deserving candidates. However, the BBWAA ... [Read More…]
The BCS era saved its best game for last
The NCAA's final year under the current BCS system came to a close last Monday. This year's slate of games had perfect matchups as every game came down to the wire. Unfortunately, the state of Texas saw a pretty mediocre bowl season with blow-out losses and close wins. The record for the seven schools from the state was just 3-4. The bowl season ... [Read More…]
5 best college football games of my life
The 2013 Iron Bowl was one of the best college football games I have ever seen. Chris Davis will forever be remembered in Alabama, and throughout the nation, for his 109 yard return of a missed field goal that ruined Nick Saban's dynasty and sent millions of Crimson Tide fans into a tailspin. When Davis crossed the end zone Saturday night, I sat ... [Read More…]
