Quick Hits by Shick
Do you think the Mavericks missed Tyson Chandler when he left? I would argue that they miss Jason Kidd this season more.

Spring Brings Hope and Questions for the Rangers
There are lots of things in a guy’s life that just go together. Things like beer and pretzels, chips and salsa or chili and cinnamon rolls (oh wait, maybe that is just me – although I encourage you to try it). None of these are anticipated like the one I am about to mention: that [...]

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 [...]

Brad Sham – A Cowboy’s Legacy Walk
It’s still too soon. Rangers fans wanted that World Series championship SO MUCH. I would say you couldn’t have wanted it more than the Rangers themselves, but most of you have been Rangers fans longer than the Rangers have been Rangers. It meant a lot.

C.J. Wilson: The Day After, Take 2
Ask anyone in the game that’s been close enough to tell you: losing the World Series is a tough pill to swallow.
