- NFL Says Show Me the Money; Fans Say, Show Us the Game
- A brief primer on the issues involved as titans struggle over your money; meanwhile, a few places to watch the game. You know which one we're talking about. If you don't hint: It's a team from the Dallas area playing a team from a cheese-producing state in a sport featuring an oval projectile.
- Miners Coming on, With Three Chances at Postseason
- Though UTEP got knocked out of this tournament, there will be more to come. This was the first of many obstacles that the young Miners will endure this season. After watching the Miners in their first three games, they have the size and the speed to compete for a spot in one of the three post-season tournaments.
- Sports Nut Says "Run it Up"!
- Who is this guy? Tom Brady? Next thing you know Montwood quarterback David Reza will be seen with some Victoria’s Secret model at the mall. In last week's game, after a hot first half, Coach Veliz toned down his guy. I respect that, but at the same time, I have not lost any respect for Belichick. He is making a point to the National Football League that the Patriots may be the best team ever.
- Sports Nut Goes UTEP Hoops
- You know what they say, size does matter. And UTEP sure has that. Head coach Tony Barbee begins his second season here in El Paso. Barbee’s ballers will try to improve upon a 14-17 record of a year ago.

A "meltdown" is defined as “choking," “tanking” and even “paralysis.” Then there is the animated rant or very loud rebuttal.
- Belichick and New England Part of that Cheating Sports History
- From Barry Bonds steroid issues (which everyone has to be sick and tired of hearing about) to NBA referees gambling on games and making calls that will save their knee caps from getting shattered by big mob bosses -- where is the honesty?

Local opinion on the Vick controversy has surfaced in the last couple weeks. One guy, whose name I will not repeat, said abortion is in the same realm as killing dogs. Abortion is a right in our country. Women make these decisions according to how it will affect their lives.
