DALLAS COWBOYS FANS LOSE WILD CARD WITH EXTRA HUSTLE

January 17, 2022 by David Gillaspie

I’ve been a Dallas Cowboys fan since I first heard of the NFL. My Granddad in Dallas used to send University of Texas Football magazines as Christmas presents in the Sixties. He mixed in a few odd Cowboys programs to complete the gift. I saw the roster change from Eddie LeBaron to Don Meredith in […]

DISAPPOINTING DALLAS LAST CALL FOR 2023

January 15, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Disappointing Dallas played its last football game of the year. And they are disappointed. How disappointed? Disappointed in their coach and quarterback? That disappointed? Maybe?

MORE FOOD? IT’S NOT A QUESTION

February 12, 2024 by David Gillaspie

There’s more food on the table. Have another plate. If it’s Super Bowl Sunday you’ll ruin your team’s chances if you don’t gorge yourself. The barbecued little sausages won’t eat themselves. Grab a toothpick. Homemade Buffalo wings? Right there.

POWER COUPLE OF THE LAST NFL GAME OF THE YEAR

February 11, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Power Couple? You and who you’re with. But there are others of note, especially today. What day? Super Bowl Day, or the last time my wife says, “Is there a game on, a big game, a REALLY BIG GAME,” dripping with fake enthusiasm. My answer (with authentic hype-man energy): “They’re all big, honey. It’s the […]

SHOPPING INSPIRATIONS: THE RIGHT TIME

January 29, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Shopping inspirations happen, if you’re lucky, when you have money in your pocket. My shopping inspiration: ‘Buy one bottle of gas station champagne, get the second bottle half-price.’ That did it. Along with a box of hard seltzer with a six of trial-cider. What was I shopping for? A hangover?

WINNING NOW: PHIL KNIGHT vs JERRY JONES

January 16, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Winning now, right now, is more important the older you get. It’s like that when you have more seasons behind you than you do ahead. Phil Knight is eighty-five; Jerry Jones is eighty-one. Would it be too much to ask that they go out winners? First for the Ducks:

SPORT FAN MARVELS AT MODERN ATHLETES

January 17, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Sport fan comes in two flavors: ‘Awe struck’ is one. The other is, “Come on, it’s not that hard.”. One gets it, the other never will. I’m in the awe struck camp, but love hearing how it’s not that hard.

UNDERDOG LIFER STARTS EARLY

January 6, 2023 by David Gillaspie

An underdog lifer life needs to start early, otherwise it’s just following trends. But how early? Top underdogs are never the first born, the first to start new things, or the first in line. If they were first, they wouldn’t be underdogs. Start with where you were raised.

LOSE BETTER FOR THE NEXT WIN

November 13, 2022 by David Gillaspie

“Lose better” Oregon Ducks and Blazers. At least don’t lose on the same day. In the same time window. One is enough, and if I had to pick one loser on Saturday it would have been ‘your Portland Trail Blazers.’ This is where I start crying about the Ducks. Again. Waaaaaa.

LOYAL MEN FROM OREGON COAST TO MOUNTAINS

July 10, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Loyal men used to do one thing: pledge and hold their allegiance to family and nation. It used to be a point of pride, like being a Dallas Cowboys fan. America’s Team, or just another outfit that can’t get out of its own way? How can we stay out of our own way?
