Calling it quits: Next stop for Smith is Hall of Fame
by Joe Gonzales, sports editor

 

Growing up as a Dallas Cowboys fan, I have had the chance to watch the team in the ‘90s, a team that included Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and my favorite player of all time, Emmitt Smith.

Needless to say when I was watching ESPN and Emmitt announced his retirement, it was a sad day that I will never forget.

 

With conference play reaching the midway point, the South Plains College Texans are looking for another playoff bid and are still in the hunt for a Western Junior College Athletic Conference championship. 

Like him or not, Brady is a winner

by Jason Shipp, staff writer

For the past four years, I have scoffed at any remark made by any sports writer, football analyst or fan saying that Tom Brady is a clutch quarterback.  Any time that anyone has said that he would choose Tom Brady over any other current quarterback to lead a fourth quarter-drive, I thought he was crazy.  Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers, and Steve McNair (when healthy) of the Tennessee Titans, among others, were all better candidates for such a task.
