February 25, 2023 by

The secret to choosing sides? Sometimes you don’t choose, you get chosen, picked. Then you find yourself standing on one side of a line. How do you make sure it’s the best side for you when you know the other will eventually look better?

SPORT FAN MARVELS AT MODERN ATHLETES

January 17, 2023 by

Sport fan comes in two flavors: ‘Awe struck’ is one. The other is, “Come on, it’s not that hard.”. One gets it, the other never will. I’m in the awe struck camp, but love hearing how it’s not that hard.

UNDERDOG LIFER STARTS EARLY

January 6, 2023 by

An underdog lifer life needs to start early, otherwise it’s just following trends. But how early? Top underdogs are never the first born, the first to start new things, or the first in line. If they were first, they wouldn’t be underdogs. Start with where you were raised.

DALLAS COWBOYS FANS LOSE WILD CARD WITH EXTRA HUSTLE

January 17, 2022 by

I’ve been a Dallas Cowboys fan since I first heard of the NFL. My Granddad in Dallas used to send University of Texas Football magazines as Christmas presents in the Sixties. He mixed in a few odd Cowboys programs to complete the gift. I saw the roster change from Eddie LeBaron to Don Meredith in […]

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, […]

TONY ROMO WINS NFL BROADCAST BOOTH

January 21, 2019 by

    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?” […]
