Paterno shouldn’t be blamed for Penn St. tragedy
For the last week, the media of the sports world has zeroed in on Happy Valley, Penn. However, the news isn’t happy, but extremely tragic.

The best seat in the house
Saturday night the Wildcats traveled to Midwestern State and suffered their worst loss in recent memory. Despite the tumultuous three hours for ACU on the field, covering a game from the sidelines and press box was a wonderful experience.
An hour before the LSC matchup, players and coaches could be seen going through drills or doing [...]
Wildcats sit pretty midway through the season
We are five games into a ten game schedule for the ACU Wildcat football team, and right now, the ‘Cats are where they want to be.
Coach Chris Thomsen has his guys at 4-1 overall and, more importantly, 3-0 in the Lone Star Conference.

Cardiac ‘Cats continue legacy
“They’ll break your heart, kid.” It’s what Jimmy Fallon’s uncle told him in the movie Fever Pitch as Fallon grew up a Boston Red Sox fan.

Mavs overcame odds and elbows to move on in NBA playoffs
After witnessing the classless play of the Lakers during their season-ending series against the Mavericks, I have determined two immutable things.
The first is that the National Basketball Association must do something serious about the flagrant fouls committed by the Lakers during the series.
It was not just the hard hits by Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum [...]
Mavericks show toughness
Being a Mavericks fan, I have always stood by my team, despite its shortcomings in the postseason.
Despite what the analysts say, the Mavericks haven’t choked every year in the playoffs. Getting beat by a better team is different then blowing a series you should easily win. However, the Mavericks have done both during the last [...]
Stars’ former coach Crawford should still be employed
Ninth place in the NHL Western Conference sounds bad, but it sounds a bit better when you consider the fact that your team was thirteenth the season before and a non-factor in playoff conversation.
That’s why the decision by Joe Nieuwendyk to fire Coach Marc Crawford seems a bit hasty. Crawford was in just his second season [...]
Success is not always measured by a victory
It was a thrilling Sunday. A 21-year-old who had led the Masters for three full rounds had fallen apart. Birdies were abundant, as 10 golfers had a shot at the lead. More exciting than all of that though was one familiar face among all the rest – Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.
Woods had an unbelievable front nine [...]
