If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? The Dallas Observer sports blog, duh. Right about now, we commence our sports exclusive blog, The Sportatorium. Unfair Park, of course, remains the award-winning trunk of our mighty blogosphere oak, where you’ll still get sportsy whatsits and the daily item about Tom Hicks and Liverpool FC.
