Good morning. I went to yesterday’s World Cup semifinal (which ruled) and thought a lot about why it mattered so much to North Texas that this tournament went as well as it did. Then I wrote about it: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Good morning. I went to England-Croatia yesterday and wrote about what an Americanized World Cup feels like. It's weird! But be cynical about it at your own risk: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Jacob Latz: pretty awesome! Jacob Latz: the first big decision of Skip Schumaker's tenure as Rangers manager. Here's the ultra-smart @zcrizer.bsky.social with a typically ultra-smart read www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Ended up writing about Azzi Fudd and the Wings, because it is very weird to me that so many outlets worked so hard not to acknowledge who she's dating & why it's a basketball story when comes to the top overall pick (even if it won't be going forward). www.dmagazine.com/micropost/le...

I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Good morning. I wrote one last farewell to Anthony Davis, a dude who will not be remembered fondly for stuff mostly out of his control. He was willing to do some reckless stuff to suit up on a doomed team, and I hope his next stop works out better for him www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Jake Kemp on the Anthony Davis trade is as exceptional as you'd expect. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Jake Oettinger's Olympic experience begins this week. How did he get there? @seanshapiro.bsky.social spoke with the Stars goalie and his father about a journey that's surprised even them. I thought this part was particularly cool: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

So much good stuff in Jake Kemp's take on Christian Parker, but this bit may be my favorite. Jake always arrives at a viewpoint I wish I thought of: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Good morning. I am here to get you excited about the MacKenzie Gore trade -- both for what Gore will do on the mound and because he's the sort of asset the Rangers do very well with, at the expense of an asset they don't. This is good. Column: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Matt Duchene's season has been very Not Great, Bob! The fastest way to get him going is to change his surroundings. Does that mean improving wings on his line? Making him someone else's wing? Let @tiffin.bsky.social examine the Stars' options. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Second helping of StrongSide! I wrote about Brandon Nimmo, a ball knower’s ballplayer, who will do a lot to help the Rangers whether or not he is slightly diminished dmagazine.com/sports/2025/11…

The Mavs need a GM. Turns out I know a guy: our food critic, @reinhart.bsky.social. Is he qualified? Not at all. But he has an eight-step plan to turn things around... or at least be marginally better at the gig than Nico Harrison was. You'll have fun with this www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Nico Harrison got fired for basketball reasons. I'd bet some interpersonal reasons, too. But the biggest reason? Because fans refused to accept anything less. Jake Kemp has the words you need to read on a city that would not be denied: www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

Also, I'll highlight this sentence, because I think it's important and I think people who aren't from here -- and even a lot who are -- don't say this enough to people who don't get why folks are still mad. It's probably the most important thing in the piece (but read it all plz)

Hello. I wrote about Nico Harrison, who should have just done nothing, and Patrick Dumont, who has a lot of work cut out for him. Also contained herein: a smorgasbord of links to places & events where people chanted "Fire Nico." They had good reason to. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

The great and fearless @boweman55.bsky.social wrote the Mavs piece everyone else will be writing in a few weeks: it's already time to shift the focus to the future. Don't believe him? Read the excerpt, then read the whole piece. It's sobering stuff. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Second StrongSide offering of the day: the great @tiffin.bsky.social joins @machinesports.bsky.social and I to talk Stars things both on and off the ice! Plus: CFB talk, Quinnen Williams talk, and I beseech the Rangers to fix their ninth inning situation. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

StrongSide: The Show is back with the great David Moore! We dissect everything about this Cowboys season - including when he thinks they'll win a Super Bowl again - and @machinesports.bsky.social and I chat Mavs-Stars, Mark Aguirre, and more. Prep your ears! www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

Good afternoon! I wrote about the big Dallas sports divorce and that it doesn’t matter which team is right when the city clearly has made its choice. So now Dallas has no choice but to keep the Mavericks—and that’s a rough position to negotiate from: www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

I'm sure absolutely nobody will take objection to David Moore's position that the Cowboys should stand pat at the trade deadline. No anger at all. But hear the man out: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

The Stars have looked like a different team in each of their first five games. What do we do with that? Let the great @tiffin.bsky.social sort through what we know so far: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Hey, hi, hello. I profiled Dirk Nowitzki for the cover of our October issue, and we talked about everything from TV to taking business classes to the Mavs. Also, we got him to dress up like Ron Burgundy. Here is visual proof. Go buy a copy! I can't wait for you to read it.

Good morning. I wrote about the final Iron Skillet game for the foreseeable future, and why that absolutely sucks. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Nathan Eovaldi pitches tonight, so I wrote about how his special, potentially all-time season is just another plot point in journey that continues to blow past every reasonable expectation. I don't think there's been a Ranger career quite like his: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Good morning. I wrote about the Rangers’ trade deadline moves, and how a franchise whose identity is rooted in hitting decided to bet everything on its pitching www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Good morning. I wrote about the great expectations of Cooper Flagg, who won’t be asked to help the Mavs win as much as launder the reputation of a team in turmoil. That’s a whole lot to expect of an 18-year-old. But he’s better equipped than most to try: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Jake Kemp on the lottery -- and Cooper Flagg, and Nico Harrison, and hope, and Dallas -- as every bit as good as you'd expect. Drop what you're doing and read this right now: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Let's talk about George Pickens, who could be awesome or a disaster, and why this is a refreshingly vintage Cowboys move no matter the outcome. Column: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

It’s playoff time, which means time for What We Saw, What It Felt Like. Here’s Jake Kemp and I on last night, when the Mavericks reminded everyone that the players on the floor do not give up easily www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...
