I'm still watching the playoffs a bit more than I usually do. I'm talking about the Houston Rockets.

I'll even give you my prediction for the championship. This year, I'm going with...

With their win over Sam Houston on Saturday, the Ladyjacks of SFA have the potential opportunity to play for the Southland Conference Title.

Yes, you read the title correctly. The legendary skateboarding phenomenon, Tony Hawk, will be coming to Nacogdoches.

The Super Bowl is coming up Sunday, and it will probably have very little to do with football. In addition to the snacks, beer, and commercials, there will be some odd little bets you can make, if you're so inclined, on everything from the length of the National Anthem to the number of times President Trump will tweet about the game.

They'd rather be skipping the Pro Bowl this weekend to get ready for the Super Bowl instead, but it's still a big honor to be selected to play with the best of the best in the NFL's all-star game. And there are several players with Texas ties headed to Orlando to play in Sunday's Pro Bowl.

There is an East Texas-native in the NFL that could very well be playing for a Super Bowl title this year.

The Lufkin Panthers lost a tough one this season to a team that's now about to play for a state championship, so you might say we helped toughen them up on their journey to the state title game.

The college football bowl season (also known as cozy-pants-and recliner-season) starts this Saturday, and Texas is hosting nine of these big games over the next three weeks. There are four Texas teams playing in bowl games this year.

When Dallas Cowboys' linebacker, Leighton Vander Esch has reason to celebrate, he does it with a wolf howl and it's not by chance. It turns out he's got a long history with wolves, and that makes a unique celebration even better.

Around this same time every year - I'm talking about the conclusion of the World Series - something happens that I look forward to...basketball season begins.

I'm thinking that the Boston Red Sox will take the series in six games, 4-2. What are your predictions?
