The Dallas Card Show is the move for collectors. I picked up a Troy Aikman rookie card PSA 9 for $180 last quarter. Retail on eBay was $250+ for the same grade.

Korean fried chicken sandwich is the sleeper of the year. Most people do not even know it exists because it is tucked away on the 200 level. Once you find it, you never go back to the hot dog stand.

Bitwarden being free and open-source makes it the easy recommendation. There is no excuse for not using a password manager in 2026.

Bring a hat and sunscreen. I got destroyed by the sun sitting in those bleachers for 3 hours. No shade on the spectator side.

GSAx is the metric more hockey fans need to understand. Raw save percentage is misleading because it does not account for shot quality. A goalie facing 20 odd-man rushes will have a lower SV% than one facing 20 point shots.

8 players graduating from the Texas Stars to the NHL roster in 3 years shows the pipeline is working. Developing talent internally is cheaper and more sustainable than free agency.

Happiest Hour is great but be warned — the wait for the rooftop can be 45+ minutes on a game night. Get there early or stick to the first floor.

Do not disrespect Dirk by making this a competition. Both are franchise legends. Dirk built this franchise from nothing. Luka benefits from the foundation Dirk laid.

Jerry gets too much blame and too much credit for draft picks. The reality is somewhere in the middle. He has a good scouting staff and mostly lets them do their job.

The atmosphere difference between roof open and roof closed is massive. When that roof is open and the DFW evening sky is above you, it is one of the best settings in baseball. When it is closed, it feels like a convention center.

The power play adjustment in November was the turning point of the season. Going from 18% to 24% on the PP is massive. That is an extra goal every 4-5 power plays. It adds up over a season.

This is why the watch party at The Star in Frisco is so popular. Free admission, free parking, and you bring your own food and drinks. Total cost: $0.

Wild fans at AAC are always respectful but intense. They travel well and they know the sport. It is the kind of rivalry where you can trash-talk and shake hands after the game.

The Game 7 win in Houston was the sweetest moment for any Rangers fan alive. After years of the Astros owning this division, going into their building and winning 11-4 in a clinching game was poetic justice.

Round 1 pick was a reach according to most big boards. PFF had him ranked 18th overall. But scheme fit matters and the Cowboys clearly loved him.

Garrett at C-plus is generous. Nine and a half years and one playoff win. The clapping memes exist for a reason. Source: my wasted Sundays from 2011 to 2019.

Free street parking after 6 PM is the real cheat code. I have been going to games for 5 years and never paid for parking. Walk 3 blocks, save $25.

That run changed how the national media views this franchise. We went from a punchline to a legitimate contender overnight. The foundation is there.

Top-10 in cap efficiency is a real accomplishment. It means the front office is finding undervalued players, developing prospects, and making smart trades. Not every team can do that consistently.

$2,300 a year to watch a team that went 8-9. When you put the actual number on paper it makes you question your life choices.

The conditioning improvement is real. He looks like a different athlete this year. Faster, more explosive, and playing more games. Credit to him for putting in the work.

Went to Oxnard camp in 2024 and it was an amazing experience. Got Parsons to sign my jersey after the afternoon session. The afternoon practice tip is real — maybe 200 people compared to 2000 in the morning.

The quieter ownership is actually better for basketball operations. Cuban was great but sometimes his public persona created distractions. Let the basketball people do their jobs in peace.
