However, I am firmly attached to …

I spent a lot of summer afternoons in the 80′s watching Chicago Cubs baseball on WGN. It didn’t take long for Andre Dawson to become my favorite baseball player. During that same time period, I began to amass a sizable baseball card collection and focused heavily on collecting any and all Dawson cards and memorabilia. …

Normally, I don’t cover NBA stories that don’t deal with the Mavericks, but the New Jersey Nets’ dismal start to the 2009-2010 season intrigues me. Currently, the Nets are 0-13. The Nets are so bad, they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves on opening night and neither team has won since. Looking at the Nets upcoming …

Driving around my neighborhood tonight, I noticed yellow ribbons everywhere–on fences, stop signs and in front of houses. While I do live in fiercely patriotic community, these ribbons are not part of a military salute, but rather part of a unique Texas high school football tradition.

I hate(d) the Yankees, beginning with their corners, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez, two self absorbed cancers, linked by a common agent, Scott Boras, and committed only to him and their bank accounts. My hatred doesn’t stop there. This is an organization that has won 26 World Series, put over 30 players into the Baseball …
