I was browsing ESPN.com when I came across this ad: I don’t want to be “that guy,” but even simply implying that Denver is on West Coast in an ad is absurd. Dictionary.com defines “West Coast” as “the western coast of the U.S., bordering the Pacific Ocean and comprising the coastal areas of California, Oregon, …

The calendar reads November 1, 2011, which means tonight I should be heading down to the American Airlines Center for opening night of Mavs basketball. While Opening Night in the NBA may not carry the same cachet as Opening Day in Major League Baseball, it’s still a special time on the sports calendar, so much …

We are less than 30 minutes from first pitch of my first real Game 7 of the World Series. Sure, I’ve watched Game 7′s before, but none of have featured my team, the Texas (Baseball) Rangers. After last night’s wild ass ride, I’m surprisingly calm, but I doubt I’ll remain that way for long. In …

Last night, I (half) jokingly tweeted the following: Since pulling back-to-back choke jobs in the NBA Playoffs in 2006 & 2007, both the local and national media have tried to convince basketball fans that the Dallas Mavericks are the worst NBA team ever, questioning their heart, lampooning their leader, and now, apparently just making up …

Friday night, TBS scored huge numbers for their coverage of the 2010 American League Championship Series between my Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees. TBS did particularly well in the Dallas market earning a 21.9 rating (13.9 rating in NYC), but I have a feeling that given the choice most Rangers would prefer to …

The theater of the absurd surrounding the Ron Washington’s ride on the “white horse,” continues to evolve into one of the strangest, most wheels-off sports story, in the history of Dallas, which considering the Dallas Cowboys, says a lot. Randy Galloway, a favorite target of Geoausch.Com, wrote a piece for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this …

As the local sports talk shows begin to go heavy into Ron Washington talk, some of Washington’s defenders are starting to emerge. One of the more popular arguments among Wash’s defenders is to bring up Josh Hamilton–the Texas Rangers’ star outfielder who has had his own well documented struggles with drug abuse in the past, …

The news is breaking that Texas Rangers’ manager Ron Washington has either admitted to using cocaine, tested positive for cocaine use or both, depending on what source you read. Either way, it appears evident that Ron Washington used cocaine while serving as the leader of this ball club. As a lifelong Rangers’ fan, I am …

As I wrote about earlier, I am not a huge college basketball fan. Compared to the NBA, I find it to be very dry and boring. As such, I’ve watched approximately 10 minutes worth of college basketball this season. However, I have not always felt this way and I have followed college basketball in the …

The New York Knicks defeated my beloved Mavericks 128-94 tonight. A 34-point loss is probably one of the more curious ways to end a 13 game winning, but after we handed the Knicks their worst loss ever at Madison Square Garden in January, I knew they would be looking for a revenge. Streaks are made …
