Dan Cook passed away on Thursday, July 3rd. He was a South Texas sports icon.
Cook covered everything from the Kentucky Derby to the Super Bowl. He also covered The Game. I’m talking about the 1963 Lee-Brackenridge bi-district football game. There have been bigger games in San Antonio, but there will not be one better. You […]

For the first time since the writer’s strike began, we finally have all new episodes of NBC’s Thursday comedy block tonight. It feels like years have passed since the 7-9 period had fresh content from My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office and Scrubs.
I’ve missed The Office the most. The last episode was in […]
OK, I’ve finally gotten over my depression/irritation over our loss to Memphis State in the Elite 8.

For those of you wondering, the NCAA is not in business to split up dollars from TV contracts, March Madness and bowl games. How do I know? Myles Brand tells me so everytime he is interviewed and because they say so right there on their website.
