Bleeding silver and blue since '95.
Mindhunter cancellation still makes me furious. Jonathan Groff interrogating serial killers with Holt McCallany was appointment television. Fincher please come back.
Corey Seager earning World Series MVP was inevitable after that ALCS. The man was built for October. His 2023 postseason OPS of .982 was elite. Source: Baseball Reference.
6.2% Cup probability from MoneyPuck is actually decent for a team in the wild card hunt. In the NHL, any team that makes the playoffs has a legitimate shot. The margins are thin.
The common thread is Jerry Jones as GM. Every coach has the same ceiling because the personnel decisions come from the top. That is not a coaching problem.
Cedar Park is worth the 3-hour drive from Dallas for a weekend trip. Catch a Texas Stars game Saturday night, explore Austin on Sunday. Good hockey trip that does not require a plane ticket.

A championship is the only thing missing from a Hall of Fame resume. Everything else is already there. He needs help though — you cannot win a title carrying this heavy a load.
Infosec professional in DFW here as well. The SIM swap warning is critical. I have seen people lose their entire crypto portfolio because they relied on SMS 2FA. Use an authenticator app.
Stars games are genuinely louder than Mavs games and it is not close. Playoff hockey at AAC is the loudest sporting event in DFW, including Cowboys games at AT&T. I will die on this hill.
Oxnard is beautiful. We turned the training camp trip into a family vacation. Camp in the morning, beach in the afternoon, dinner in Ventura. Highly recommend.
Day 2 is where this draft class will be won or lost. The round 3 nose tackle is boring but we gave up 5.1 yards per carry last year. Something had to change.
Texas Stars games in Cedar Park are a great hockey experience. $20 for great seats, the arena is intimate, and you are watching future NHL players. My family makes the drive from DFW 2-3 times per year.
Goaltending is THE position in hockey playoffs. Nothing else matters if your goalie is not stopping pucks. The starter needs to be .916 or better for us to have a chance in a 7-game series.
Adolis Garcia in the 2023 ALCS is the greatest individual postseason performance in Rangers history. The walk-off grand slam in Game 3 is the single loudest moment Globe Life Field has ever produced.
Per-100-possession adjustment is important but Luka still leads by a wide margin. The volume AND efficiency combination is historically rare.
The roof should be open in April, May, September, and October without exception. Those months have perfect baseball weather. Closing it on a 75-degree April evening is a crime against the sport.
The $1.5M in deadline cap space is frustrating. It basically means the Stars cannot make a major addition without subtracting someone. Contending with one hand tied behind your back.
Victory Park during the 2024 Finals was something I will never forget. The streets were packed with fans watching on screens, cheering together. Dallas felt like a basketball city for the first time since 2011.
Adam Scott deserves an Emmy this year and if he does not get one, the awards system is broken. The range he shows playing Mark S. versus Mark is subtle and devastating.
Sunday Ticket at $349 is actually a decent deal when you break it down per game. That is about $20 per game for every NFL game. I spend more than that on a single beer at AT&T Stadium.
Finding Nokron for the first time is one of the best moments in gaming history. You fall through a crater and discover an entire underground city with its own sky. No quest marker told you it existed. You just found it. That is what exploration should feel like.
Will McClay does not get enough credit nationally. His hit rate on first and second round picks is among the best in the league. The Parsons pick in particular was a masterclass — everyone knew Parsons was great but McClay pushed for him over a quarterback.
The North Stars relocation history adds a layer to this rivalry that no other matchup in hockey has. Minnesota fans genuinely resent Dallas for taking their team. That resentment fuels every game.
The assists gap is what separates them as different types of players. Dirk was the greatest shooting big man ever. Luka is a 6-7 point guard who can score like a big man. Different games entirely.
The Timberwolves series was where I started truly believing. Down 20 in Game 1 and then winning 4 straight against that defense. The adjustments were elite coaching.
The BPM of +10.4 at age 27 is genuinely historic. Only LeBron and Jordan were better at the same age. People do not appreciate what they are watching.
