Sports Bio

I follow the teams from Dallas-Fort Worth because I grew up with them, but I've adopted the Jacksonville Jaguars, the only pro team my new hometown is ever likely to get. The most memorable sporting event I attended live was game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals in 1988 at Reunion Arena -- Mavericks vs. Lakers -- when Mark Aguirre and his prodigious caboose received half the game MVP award, and the 17,007 fans in attendance received the other half. I also follow U.S. Soccer, Sheffield Wednesday and Orlando City SC because members of this site dragged me into the beautiful game for the first time since the Dallas Tornado folded.

Dallas Mavericks Get No. 1 Pick Despite 1.8% Odds: The Dallas Mavericks, who previously had never moved up in an NBA Draft Lottery, won the first overall pick Monday night. They had 1.8% odds in the eleventh position going in. Christmas came eary to conspiracy-minded fans who believed the Mavs would get the top pick after making the insane trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Stars are putting on a show in every series. As good as they have been, Jake Oettinger is the biggest reason they are in the conference finals again.
