Sports Bio

I follow the teams from Dallas-Fort Worth because I grew up with them, but I've adopted the Jacksonville Jaguars, the only pro team my new hometown is ever likely to get. The most memorable sporting event I attended live was game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals in 1988 at Reunion Arena -- Mavericks vs. Lakers -- when Mark Aguirre and his prodigious caboose received half the game MVP award, and the 17,007 fans in attendance received the other half. I also follow U.S. Soccer, Sheffield Wednesday and Orlando City SC because members of this site dragged me into the beautiful game for the first time since the Dallas Tornado folded.

Greg Norman Thinks a Lot of Greg Norman: Now that he's gone from LIV, the Saudi-funded upstart golf league's failure to attract TV ratings and losses exceeding $600 million have not dampened Greg Norman's admiration of himself. “The voice of the critic is far louder than the voice of the advocate,” he said. “And I use that as my pillar of strength.”

Does anyone here like the Nashville Predators logo? To me it looks like something a high school kid drew in his spiral notebook while bored in class.

The Bears should be favored in Minnesota, so I'm picking them. Detroit's game with the Eagles is 49%/51% in their favor among Yahoo Pro Football Pickem players.

The Dallas Mavericks are firing GM Nico Harrison.

As fun as Luka's on-court play can be, I miss watching him goof around with trick shots during the warm-up lines via the arena view on League Pass just as much. *sigh*

Yeah he is an entertaining athlete to follow even beyond his on-court wizardry. A great story and the book got ripped out of our hands not even halfway in. I can still take some pleasure in watching him play, though man did it have to be in purple and yellow?

The actual rooting interest is still in Dallas, at least for now.

I think Luka's fitness last season was a product of his injuries. He would've looked the same reporting to Dallas as he did to L.A., though he had a little extra motivation from Harrison and Dumont privately suggesting he was out of shape to justify the trade.

I told myself I was going to quit the team after Nico destroyed it.

But even if they didn't land Cooper Flagg I probably would have kept following them because the disaster was so interesting.

I have the Amazon streaming package that lets you see the arena instead of commercials and am watching more regular season games than before. I kinda took Luka for granted before the playoffs.

If you've seen the amazing photo of the teen in the Luka Lakers jersey talking to Dumont, the kid went on to tell people Dumont admitted the trade was a mistake. His dad told him he had to apologize for things he said previously to Dumont to be allowed to keep attending games. Doing that put him in a place to break actual news, since Dumont hadn't been saying that.

Wild night. How many pro sports teams have gone through anything like the Luka trade, lottery luck and Nico firing in a year?

We double posted this! I'm listening live to KTCK waiting for the official news.

Did you see the move Cooper did on Giannis late last night? We still don't have Luka but that was epic.

The Mavs are in rough shape but Cooper Flagg looked pretty good in the loss to the Pelicans last night. He was great at creating his own shot, though sadly the one that would've won the game was short.
