Classy Reunion

So, What Were You Doing 21 Years Ago Today?

Ah, the good ol' days. When Dallas actually lifted sports trophies. Can’t say that I have a vivid memory of it, but apparently I was trying to trick Fort Worth Star-Telegram readers into thinking I knew a little something about indoor soccer and the defending MISL champion Dallas Sidekicks. ...

Night & Day

Ain't that a kick?

Tatu has been a Dallas Sidekick for 15 years -- in case you hadn't noticed

R.I.P. Reunion

Good riddance to a bad arena that provided only mediocre moments

Action Sports Take Over Dallas

Those crazy kids have built our li'l skate rink into a huge international sport

Games Grownups Play

Recruiting violations. Cutthroat competion. Big money. Larger egos. It isn't NCAA football. It's kids' soccer, Dallas style.

Dinosaur-Sized Fun

A dash of science and sport

Fire It Up

One good thing about the Trinity

Fore Score

Golfing as a good deed

Sidekicks vs. Desperados

R.I.P, Reunion Arena: My Eulogy (Extended Remix Version).

I officially grew old yesterday afternoon. Once you've seen the rise and fall of a sports stadium, you've officially, um, been around the block. I remember a kinder, gentler era in Dallas when as a little punk I'd peer out the family Fury along I-35 and gaze in wonderment at The Sportatorium, ... More >>

Copa de Mundial: You Give a Rat's Ass?

​Yeah, it's the world's biggest sporting event. But we're not in the world, we're in Texas. Dallas, more precisely, where football is king, spring football is queen, basketball is a part-time curiousity, hockey is a memory, baseball is foreplay to more football and soccer is ... Stupid? ...

Does Dallas Give A Damn About The World Cup? It Does In The Right Frame Of Mind.

Labor Day Memories: Where I've Worked

​Labor Day, Schmabor Day. Yeah, I'm flying my flag today. But I'm also in here and on the radio at 105.3 The Fan. At work. And not complaining. Considering I've got friends who've been on unemployment going on a year now, I feel fortunate to have a gig - much less two - that I love. And cons ... More >>

Labor Day 2011: Let's Work This Out

​One of the best things about being a sportswriter? Getting paid to go to games. One of the worst things about being a sportswriter? Working on holidays. Not that I'm complaining. I've got lots of media friends who are without full-time jobs, and there's nothing more stressful than trying to ... More >>
