Despite all the wide-open, high-flying offensive teams and styles in all levels of football, I've always remained an old-school guy.
I love a good running game, solid defense, and fundamentally sound special teams.
Who wouldn't, right?
Well, based on the spread offenses, I'm not so sure.
I like a good 20-17 game rather than 50-45. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a good shootout every once in a while, but not week-in and week-out.
Look the NFL's "Final 4."
Bears, Packers, Steelers and NY Jets have one thing in common, DEFENSE.
Yes, some of them can score more than others, but they win with defense.
Maybe Jerry Jones can learn from this lesson, especially with the Super Bowl in his stadium.
Jerry and Cowboys have committed a lot of their draft picks to defense, but most of their bigger contracts and especially free agent acquisitions are on offense. And, even worse, most of their bad contracts have been spent on offensive players (Barber, UT-Roy), you get the picture.

We're committed to broadcasting a handful of high school basketball games over the next month or two, starting with Belton @ Harker Heights this Friday. Belton is trying to get into the playoffs, Harker Heights is unbeaten in 12-5A.

I made it very clear that what "was" 1660ESPN Radio-Waco will become ESPN Radio-Central Texas...and we will realize there's a southern area in our listening area, Temple, Killeen, Fort Hood, Belton, and wherever else.
The added FM frequencies in Temple, Killeen and Waco only enhance our commitment and passion for the entire market, not only Waco.
We've built our foundation in Waco, but our future is Waco, Temple, Killeen and greater-Central Texas.
With that being said, I've reached out to some of the other Central Texas sports editors and asked them to be involved in our show, once or twice a week, short, sweet, energetic, but informative.
We're going to do it, we've started to change the mentality, and we will.
Thank you for listening when and if you do.
