SUPER BABY WINS THE SUPER BOWL IN A ROMP

Super Baby came to the Super Bowl party ready to play. Her team? Since the Dallas Cowboys weren’t playing, I’m not sure. If things work out down the line, she’ll be a Cowboy fan. Or, like the house I grew up in, she’ll like any team playing against the team her dad, a Cowboy’s fan, […]

TONY ROMO WINS NFL BROADCAST BOOTH

    Count me among the sports fans who watched the NFL playoffs on Championship Sunday. Did I watch NFL games at a sports bar with my crew? First I’d need a crew. Did I watch it with my football player family members? No, but I do have football player relatives. One was a small […]

DEADSPIN’S ‘WHY YOUR TEAM SUCKS’ IS NO WAY TO LEARN ABOUT ARIZONA

  Arizona is a lovely place. A little warmer than most, but still worth a visit. Deadspin’s annual take down of every team in the NFL paints a different picture. It’s supposed to be funny and sports related, something the rest of the world finds confusing. Football isn’t a world sport like soccer, like basketball. […]

JASON WITTEN INSURANCE ADDS MORE LIFE

    If you only have room for one NFL team jersey? Jason Witten. One reason? He’s the new Mr. Cowboy. Another? He was an athletic and academic college all-American. He’ll answer any question you ask, and probably questions you don’t. Like, “Who deserves a Super Bowl ring more than anyone else in the NFL?” […]

CHIP KELLY TIME SHOWS A SILVER LINING

Do you know what time it is? Chip Kelly time. Football coaches and m0torcylce riders share this in common: They’ve either been fired or crashed, or they’re about to. With Chip Kelly time finished in Philadelphia, you can expect to hear variations of the following: He should have played it safe and stayed in New […]

1080 THE FAN GOES ON A HOST HUNT

Admit it, you’ve been in someone’s car with sports talk radio on and thought, “Please just shut up.” But they don’t turn it down. The driver won’t change the station. You don’t ask. The radio hosts keep repeating things three times. You wonder who the last two are for since you heard it the first […]

YOUR LIFE IN THREE PARTS: PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND SECRET

Where Do You Spend The Most Time? Too many times someone passes away and the information doors open. You find out more about them than you ever could have guessed, or wanted to know. How did you miss so much? It happens to everyone, but when someone close to you dies it feels different. Not […]

DEAR BOOMER, IT’S OKAY TO CHANGE TEAMS FOR CHIP KELLY

From Cowboys To Eagles It’s Okay To Change Football Teams. Other Teams Are Up To You. Off-season training works for players and fans. As a fourteen year old I met a few Dallas Cowboys with my brothers, my Dad, and my Granddad. We’ve all been Cowboy fans ever since, from the late Sixties until now. […]

WHY THE RAGE AGAINST GREATNESS?

Find a map that shows Miami Heat fans. It looks like one spot in Florida like the Heat. The rest of the nation pulls for San Antonio. Why? Could be everyone hates on LeBron. Or Miami. Or The Decision. For one group of fans, it’s none of the above. Older fans don’t want to hear […]
