ADVERSITY TRAINING ONE BLOG POST AFTER ANOTHER

July 13, 2021 by

Adversity training comes from two sources: Those who have faced adversity, and those who will face adversity. Pro Tip: We all face adversity. How we deal with it tells others who we are. While I’m not an adversity trainer, or in adversity training, I am a man and therefore qualified to add senseless context to […]

PRICELESS ARTIFACTS OR LEFTOVERS LIKE GONZAGA

April 6, 2021 by

Priceless artifacts cast a spell. But it’s a good spell, not some doomsday end of the world sort of spell. The feeling is more about sharing a world with the most amazing things ever made, invented, or found. I’m not saying “Sharing with the world,” but sharing a world, like being alive at a time […]

SUPER BABY WINS THE SUPER BOWL IN A ROMP

February 8, 2021 by

Super Baby came to the Super Bowl party ready to play. Her team? Since the Dallas Cowboys weren’t playing, I’m not sure. If things work out down the line, she’ll be a Cowboy fan. Or, like the house I grew up in, she’ll like any team playing against the team her dad, a Cowboy’s fan, […]

    Count me among the sports fans who watched the NFL playoffs on Championship Sunday. Did I watch NFL games at a sports bar with my crew? First I’d need a crew. Did I watch it with my football player family members? No, but I do have football player relatives. One was a small […]

DEADSPIN’S ‘WHY YOUR TEAM SUCKS’ IS NO WAY TO LEARN ABOUT ARIZONA

August 16, 2017 by

  Arizona is a lovely place. A little warmer than most, but still worth a visit. Deadspin’s annual take down of every team in the NFL paints a different picture. It’s supposed to be funny and sports related, something the rest of the world finds confusing. Football isn’t a world sport like soccer, like basketball. […]

JASON WITTEN INSURANCE ADDS MORE LIFE

May 21, 2017 by

    If you only have room for one NFL team jersey? Jason Witten. One reason? He’s the new Mr. Cowboy. Another? He was an athletic and academic college all-American. He’ll answer any question you ask, and probably questions you don’t. Like, “Who deserves a Super Bowl ring more than anyone else in the NFL?” […]

1080 THE FAN GOES ON A HOST HUNT

January 19, 2015 by

Admit it, you’ve been in someone’s car with sports talk radio on and thought, “Please just shut up.” But they don’t turn it down. The driver won’t change the station. You don’t ask. The radio hosts keep repeating things three times. You wonder who the last two are for since you heard it the first […]

YOUR LIFE IN THREE PARTS: PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND SECRET

September 24, 2014 by

Where Do You Spend The Most Time? Too many times someone passes away and the information doors open. You find out more about them than you ever could have guessed, or wanted to know. How did you miss so much? It happens to everyone, but when someone close to you dies it feels different. Not […]

DEAR BOOMER, IT’S OKAY TO CHANGE TEAMS FOR CHIP KELLY

August 15, 2014 by

From Cowboys To Eagles It’s Okay To Change Football Teams. Other Teams Are Up To You. Off-season training works for players and fans. As a fourteen year old I met a few Dallas Cowboys with my brothers, my Dad, and my Granddad. We’ve all been Cowboy fans ever since, from the late Sixties until now. […]
