Pretty Good Weekend

Not a bad weekend I would have to say. Usually the weekend following the Super Bowl is sort of a let down but this weekend was different.


I flipped on ESPN Sunday Morning only to see a feature story on former NFL player turned WTAMU quarterbacks coach Ryan Leaf. Several weeks ago ESPN had called our sports office to request video of Ryan at WTAMU. So as you may have guessed, my video that I shot on my camera was on ESPN! That was a first (but not a last!).





Saturday night I had the opportunity to interview former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dat Nguyen. He was speaking at an Amarillo YMCA event and he was such a nice guy to talk to. Also, there are rumors that he may be joining the Cowboys coaching staff in the near future. I did ask him if the rumors were true and he said he is keeping his options open and coaching is a possibility. Just remember, you heard it hear first!



Then there was the NFL pro bowl and NASCAR season began. Locally the Gorillas hockey team picked up a big win over Colorado and the dominant Lady Buffs basketball team ran their conference record to 10-0. Also the Texas Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame honored the very best athletes and coaches of the year and my hometown Clovis wildcats set a new school record for 3 pointers in a game, 16! All in all a pretty good weekend.


Take Care,

Nice to see that you got to interview Dat Nguyen. Any chance of an Emmitt Smith interview?
