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.

CFL Pickem Week 5: Clearly Canadian: The CFL week starts in under six hours when the undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers travel to McMahon Stadium to face the Calgary Stampeders. The temperate should be around 70 with only a slight chance of rain. I only say that because I looked up the forecast hoping it might be cold. In my head Canada is always cold and everybody has horses like on Heartland. Scooby leads the pickem. Make your picks.
