Brad Sham on Measuring Success
We do it all the time. We constantly evaluate how we’re doing, and if we’re making progress or going backwards. Backwards, by the way, is not the direction we usually want to go. We live in a success-measuring world. And it’s a hard place to be all the time. Once upon a time, in a [...]

Mavs Enter Uncharted Territory
In their 32 years of existence, the Mavericks have not had an off-season quite like this one. Their chase of free agent Deron Williams proved futile. Losing Jason Terry to the Celtics was not unexpected but still painful, and then the curious case of Jason Kidd, who was all set to be here for three [...]

Random Sports Thoughts Running Through an Oversized Bald Head
In the 51 seasons of the Washington Senators/Texas Rangers, the franchise has never enjoyed four straight winning campaigns. There has been a trio of three-year runs, 1977-79, 1989-91 and yes, 2009-11. It would be stunning beyond words if this season didn’t mark the first four-year run.

Oh What a Night!
It’s hard to imagine any victory in sports being sweeter than the Mavs 105-95 victory over the smug and pompous collection of NBA’ers displaying their talents for the Miami Heat. In the ultimate night of triumph and redemption for the Mavs humble and loyal German superstar, and the ultimate kick in the crotch to the [...]

2nd Place Just Won’t Do
Beginning last October, Texas Rangers baseball has gone where it has never gone before and TCU football somewhere not seen since the 1930′s. Both Tarrant County products won national acclaim, but neither will be considered the best in their respective major sports in 2010 (at least barring an even larger Auburn football scandal). “Number 2″ [...]
