Football

It's one thing to watch your favorite football players on TV.  It's another thing to go shopping and buy jerseys and scooters with them.  A few lucky kids got that chance Tuesday in Houston.

Isn't college football bowl season the best? It's like two weeks straight of sitting in the recliner watching one football game after another.  With a Texas-sized bowl of chips and guac and a Shiner.  If we have nothing else to do.

East Mississippi Community College and Mississippi Delta Community College squared off on the football field Thursday night, but a wild fight ended the matchup before they could even reach halftime.

It happened during a game last Thursday near Amarillo.  Chris Leanos left the field under his own power, but collapsed on the sideline and ended up in a coma at the hospital.

An assistant coach on the sidelines was knocked over when a play went out of bounds during a game Friday night, and he had to be airlifted to the hospital with skull fractures. Here's what happened.

Midland Lee kicker Luis Aranda booted the ball and it took a couple crazy bounces in the second quarter of the Rebels versus El Paso El Dorado last Friday.

If good things happen in preseason football we tend to say it's a positive sign of things to come and proof that this will be the "best season ever!"  Woohoo!  And if bad things happen we brush it off and chalk it up saying, "Ah, who cares.  It's just the preseason." Well, it looks like this will be the "best season ever" for Tony Romo.

Tensions were certainly high during the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams joint practice Tuesday (Aug. 18).

NFL Training Camps are just barely getting underway, and there's no shortage of early Super Bowl predictions.  At least one analyst is picking the Cowboys to make it all the way this season.  Oh boy.  Whaddya think?

With the "Big Game" just a few days away, I wanted to comment briefly on the state of professional football in America.
