It goes without saying but I, like everyone else, wish COVID never happened.

There are very few sporting events at which you won’t hear, “These are the worst refs ever,” or at least some variation of it.

My fellow Dallas Cowboys fans, let’s pump the breaks on Super Bowl talks.

A friend and I go back and forth about the best way to watch sports on TV.

We recently passed the 20-year anniversary of Tom Brady’s NFL debut.

One of the last things my “Caddo Lake Queen” wife and I do after watching either the Dallas Cowboys or the Texas Rangers in a night game is turn on the news and get the weather report for the next day.

Geography no longer matters when it comes to NCAA conferences.

My first job out of college was working a sportswriter for the Baytown Sun and one Sunday afternoon, I had an opportunity to cover a Houston Texans game when a longtime, well-known sportswriter in the press box said, “Kids these days don’t know or don’t appreciate the history of the game (fo…

In some ways, September 11, 2001 seems like a lifetime ago, probably because it was. Think of all that has changed since then, the people that are you in your life now that weren’t then and vice versa. Not to mention, it’d be an understatement to say technology has changed a ton in 20 years …

At the start of every NFL season, I remind myself to keep my expectations low for the Dallas Cowboys. That way, if they exceed my expectations, it’s a pleasant surprise and if they have another down year, I will have been better prepared.

I don’t remember what year it was but the Houston Texans were just a few years into their existence when I took them to the Super Bowl.

Before I get into the conversation, let me just begin by saying I love football and I love the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Heck, I’ve made three trips to Canton, Ohio and every time, I felt like I was in Heaven. I tried to make the most of it and let it all sink in while I’m there, making sur…

For those of you who know my wife “Miss Becky” and me, you know we are two of the “very fortunate” persons to have had the opportunity to grow up on and around one of God’s greatest creations of natural beauty we know as Caddo Lake.

I really hope Joey Gallo stays with the Rangers but I have a feeling they’re going to trade him. Even worse, I have a feeling they’re going to get ripped off in a trade and possibly worst of all, I could see the Rangers trading him for practically nothing in return to the New York Yankees.

Christmas in July is a real thing.

Why doesn’t MLB.TV lift its blackout restrictions?

Can you believe it? Spring time has sprung, fall has fallen and the ol’ “dog days” of summer are here and it’s not as “you know what.”

It was early morning Jan. 27, 2003 where I was in Thailand. I couldn’t sleep knowing that back home in the great United States of America, Super Bowl XXXVIII was being played and I couldn’t watch it. It was the first Super Bowl of my young life (young at the time) that I could recall not wat…

Last August, I wrote a review over the book “Twelve Mighty Orphans” and said it’s a must read. Apparently many others also love the story because they decided to make a movie of it and it’s now playing on the big screen.

I feel like I’ve been united with an old friend this week – Madden.

While watching some of the NBA Playoffs lately, I’ve come to realize just how old school I might am, especially when it comes to uniforms. I like tradition and “uniformity” if you will. I like the tradition of having one home jersey, one away jersey and maybe one alternate jersey for both at…

Water levels on area lakes continue to be excellent as we approach the “Dog Days” of summer. The hard-hitting February freeze along with plenty of water has Caddo Lake especially in as good of shape as I have seen in years concerning the vegetation problems we seem to always have to battle with.

Coach K’s coaching career at Duke is longer than his name and that’s saying a lot seeing as his last name is impossible to spell without looking it up first but for the record, it’s K-R-Z-Y-Z-E-W-S-K-I and yes I Googled “Coach K.”

Dear fellow sports fans,

It is way too easy to take the good things in life for granted and forget why we have them and that’s something I don’t want to do on this Memorial Day Weekend.

When looking back at this school year which is coming to a close, it’s hard not to do so fondly, especially considering the year we had last year.

In my column this past Sunday, I wrote about the NFL schedule and mentioned how there’s something off about the 17th game. On the upcoming schedule for the Cowboys is New England which, as I pointed out, looks like it doesn’t belong among the other teams seeing as that’s the only AFC team no…

Sundays just aren’t the same without the NFL.

With the NFL Draft being underway, I’ve heard, read and been part of a lot discussion about the best and worst draft picks in league history as well as for each team. Naturally, being a Cowboys fan, I gave a lot of thought as to who’s the best draft pick in franchise history.

First thing first, I’d like to apologize to the Texas Rangers and all Rangers fans on behalf of my wife for the loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday, April 11.

Today will be my first tip to Globe Life Field since they opened up the new part to fans.

While driving home after covering a game the other night, I got a call from a relative asking me, “How can I watch the Rangers?”

Our motto this spring is “better late than never” for the “dyed in the wool” fishermen. We are beginning to see a “Glimmer” of light at the end of the tunnel as the ol’ “barn-door” white perch are beginning to “timidly” feel their way around in the shallow water. This is the latest I have ev…

Before I jump in, I’d like to add a somewhat unrelated note: I really think MLB.TV needs to lift its blackout rule for local games. It should have been done last year since fans weren’t able to attend games. I think that would at the very least, add to its viewership.

Oh yes, baseball is back and at normal time. I feel like we’re finally being reunited with a long-lost friend or family member.

When I heard my phone buzzing Friday afternoon, it might as well been the sound of millions of brackets being thrown out because it was buzzing with the news that No. 15 Oral Roberts University had just knocked off No. 2 Ohio State.

Depending on when you’re reading this, it may or may not be too late to fill out your brackets online. Coverage begins at 11 a.m. with No. 10 Virginia Tech taking on No. 7 Florida at 11:15. In order to play it safe, let’s just assume the brackets have to be complete by 11.

Today is a big day and it has nothing to do with the fact it’s the day when we turn our clocks forward (or should I say, most of our clocks turn themselves forward?).

I understand why J.J. Watt signed with Arizona but I also don’t.

Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman said his former team needs to act fast and give Dak Prescott a long-term deal.

As we approach spring spawning time, water conditions on area leaks are ideal.

I must admit, I’m kind of like a kid on Christmas Eve right about now. I know I can’t enjoy the present that is to come tomorrow – the Super Bowl, so instead of shaking my big present under the tree, I’m listening to and reading interviews, watching highlights of past Super Bowls and getting…

Today is one of the busiest days of the year for sportswriters but it’s also one of my favorite days of the year. It’s a day of celebrating young athletes who have worked their tails off for a chance to continue their athletic careers at the next level.

I could use your help on something.

Don’t let your dislike for an athlete prevent you from appreciating what you’ve got while you can.

Well, we can’t say Tom Brady is a system quarterback who only had his success under Bill Belichick. I’m not a fan of Brady but it’s hard to argue against him being the greatest quarterback in NFL history. He’s now the third quarterback to take two teams to the Super Bowl (Payton Manning, Kur…

Many people didn’t think we’d be here but here we are – it’s the NFL’s conference championship games.
