During my first tour as a sports writer one thing has remained constant throughout the winter season: the parents who attend the games to support their young student athletes.
At every basketball game or wrestling match I attended over the season, I saw parents working the entrance door, serving at the concession stand, or in the bleachers cheering their hearts out.

In the past few weeks, as the 2007-2008 season of the NFL began to wind down, many of us have heard talk of the infamous pink jersey which Jessica Simpson sported during the Dallas Cowboys loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last month.
The jersey - pink with number nine on it - was worn by Simpson to support her boyfriend Tony Romo, who is regarded as an up-and-coming quarterback in today's NFL.
