As a Texan, I take football very seriously. At times, my devotion to the game borders on the obsessive, just ask my wife about the superstitions regarding my Cowboys’ game routine.

Last night the Dallas Mavericks recorded their 336 straight sell out. A couple of things made this game stand out from the rest. One, Dirk Nowitzki became the 34th player in NBA history, and the first not to have played college or high school ball in the U.S., to top the 20,000 point mark in …

Cowboys fans, including myself, expect “greatness.” Over the years, we have been spoiled by one of the most successful sports franchises.

You’ll recall that last week I urged all Dallas Cowboys fans to rush over to the website for the Fox affiliate in Shreveport to vote in a poll asking which NFL game they should show on Sunday.
