The NBA Comes to OKC
Sunday, July 6th, 2008It is ironic that I am the one actually writing this post, seeing how I really have no connection to Oklahoma and my good friend Daniel does. He is also one of those dreaded Sooner fans. I don’t hold it against him as it makes for some interesting friendly wagers.

Beasley’s Blog is Bogus
Saturday, July 5th, 2008You can get the “firsthand account” here. I know we expect PR specialists and reputation managers to get involved on behalf of high profile clients, but sometimes it’s too much.
Example. #2 draft pick Michael Beasley was injured during his first practice with the Miami Heat. All we heard up front was that he took an [...]
Are the Mavericks Over-Thinking or NOT Thinking?
Friday, August 3rd, 2007Eddie Jones, the newest addition to the Dallas Mavericks, will be announced on Monday. But why Eddie Jones - a 35 year old has been? I don’t have a clue and I don’t think the Mavs’ front office does either.

Of course, the way Tim Donaghy’s exposure came about was unexpected, to be [...]
The Dallas Morning News Feeling Antagonistic Towards Blogs
Saturday, July 14th, 2007You can read about the transaction between the Dallas Morning News and Mark Cuban, and draw your own conclusions. It appears that the DMN is a little sensitive to criticism from the Mavs nationally renowned owner, Mark Cuban. Michael Landauer writes, “Media don’t present assertions in a ‘wanna bet’ fashion. They use credible sources like [...]
Chris Webber Looks at Returning as a Maverick
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007Though many expected Chris Webber to retire from the NBA at age 34, Webber announced that he still wanted to play but that he was only interested in two teams. One of those teams is our beloved Mavericks. ESPN Radio announced that the Dallas Mavericks are interested in looking at the possibility.
Seriously? In what universe [...]
