Having two weeks to get ready for the Super Bowl can affect both teams practicing their tails off to become pro football’s world champion Sunday night. The media had a field day with the New England Patriots’ weak explanations of how their dozen game footballs lost a couple of pounds of pressure during the AFC championship game Jan. 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. And the defending world champion Seattle Seahawks have assured the media that their two injured All-Pro defensive stalwarts—cornerback Richard Sherman and free...

The trout fishing on Sabine Lake has been an absolute grind over the past week or so.Muddy runoff that has reduced water clarity to less than six inches all over the lake has gotten most of the blame, but that isn’t the real culprit.Surface temperatures that dip into the low forties at night and far too much fresh water are the toughest obstacles for local anglers to overcome. In response to the massive amount of rainfall that recently fell across the Toledo Bend area, the S...
WE’RE SURPRISED HOW SUPER BOWL XLIX TEAMS GOT THERE This Korner has been telling you since before the Christmas holidays that the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots would face each other in Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1. But we’re not tooting our own horn for calling it correctly for a change, but are almost embarrassed because both teams made it to the Big Dance exactly opposite the way we predicted. We figured that the Seahawks would harass Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers because of his immobility and cause him t...
For all those hunters who have spent the last couple of months waking early, fighting the weather, and staring at the skies in search of ducks it's almost over. In what feels like the blink of an eye the Texas duck season that started back in September with early Teal will end on Sunday leaving waterfowlers wishing for more. The light geese conservation season will allow hunters a chance to keep chasing birds but for the majority of duck hunters it will be a long 8 month wait until the next season kicks off. Local hunters...

I’ve been watching National Football League games for more than 60 years and one rule has always been consistent—the ground cannot cause a fumble. That rule basically was true on a pass completion, too, until a few years ago when Detroit’s All-Pro tight end Calvin Johnson went up in the air, made a sensational grab of the pass, nearly did a flip in the air as he landed in the end zone and then rolled a couple of times to the back of the end zone and as he was raising the football in the air triumphantly, it squirted out o...
“You don’t have to worry about us flaking out,” stated the first client out of the truck.“We expect to fish in bad conditions this time of the year and we will grind all day long for one shot at the right trout.” I cannot tell you how many times those same words have been a part of the introduction process while standing in the predawn shadows at the launch. Judging by their attire, however, there was certainly no reason to question their commitment to staying the course.They had donned their waders before ever leaving the La...

Ninety-nine percent of the fresh and saltwater fishing addicts logging the most time on the water over the course of the next two months will be there for one reason only…..the opportunity to catch a double digit bass or trout. Waterfowl hunters rightfully garner the most double takes from sane folks that can’t figure out why anyone would subject themselves to the to the worst weather Mother Nature has to offer for an opportunity to shoot at a duck, but winter time fis...
With time running out on the clock for duck hunters many have resorted to taking their game on the road. Putting miles on your gear is nothing new to waterfowlers as they constantly scout by boat or truck on almost a daily basis. Well instead of scouting locally many will take advantage of the unbelievable hunting opportunities that Texas coast offers up. When you start talking coastal duck hunting places like Rockport, Port O, and the Laguna Madre automatically come to mind. These areas are well known for producing some of...
Dallas In, Texans Out Of 2014 NFL Playoffs It took 17 grueling weeks but the 2014 National Football League season is over with 12 of the league’s 32 teams extending their season in the NFL playoffs which begin Saturday and Sunday in the Wild Card Round. The season ended on a high note for both Texas franchises, with the Dallas Cowboys flying through the month of December with a 4-0 mark while the Texans won three-of-four to be just one of seven teams to go from 2-14 to a winning record (9-7) in a season. But that’s were the...
Twelve year old, Liz, wasn’t speaking at that exact moment, but the look on her face said it all as another big redfish buried the tip of her rod in the water and stripped line much too fast for the drag to be of any use.The rod tip predictably snapped back and the slack line only confirmed what she feared from the moment the big fish zeroed in on her lure. What should have been the highlight of the trip was quickly turning into a better reason to go home rather than continue fishing and further compound her frustration.Her d...
The 2014-15 deer season is nearing the end for the majority of the state of Texas and it seems like it just got started. For many local hunters this season has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for a myriad of reasons. Easily the weather has been the talk of the season as crazy patterns have made figuring the deer an almost unsolvable puzzle. Crazy summer heat and heavy late season rains left many hunters scratching their heads trying to figure out how to attack the season. Supplemental feed and food plots in areas that...

On Thursday before the Mustangs were to face LC-M in the Orange Bowl, sophomore Jack Dallas was given the news. He would be the starting quarterback. Not just for the LC-M game, but for the season. Dallas, who wasn’t even ol...
I wasn’t brimming with confidence having skipped out on church as I idled into a cold and fog shrouded Sabine Lake Sunday morning.I am usually in church on Sunday mornings praying that the fish will bite the rest of the week, but this was a donated trip that we had been unable to consummate for a year and a half. Larry Dierker, former Houston Astro pitching great, club skipper, and television announcer following his playing days had bid on and won the trip, but for one r...
