One of the most disconcerting aspects of devoted sports fandom is the upheaval of having a favorate player or coach abruptly traded or fired. Yeah, it's all part of the game, so there wasn't anything unusually insensitive or brutal about...
I am frankly envious of Bro. Steve, who has a whole season of fandom ahead. Ours is done, since the Stars, plagued by bad luck, injuries, and the brief but costly demolition derby that was Sean Avery, did not make...
1. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers doesn't like the highway-in-the-levees plan, and is never going to like it, what was the point of having a political bloodbath? Now that everybody has stuck their feet in ideological concrete, it's...
I still don't know why I missed this to watch the debate. What was I thinking?...
Hockey players could wear bloomers and bustiers if they wanted - and nobody would mess with them except other hockey players. The metrosexual in the pic, though, just looks like he forgot his pants....
I like shopping about as much as the next person: Don't live for it, but I love a bargain. Dawn had barely broken this morning when I was up and out the door to be on the spot when the...
Ed, my brother, I don't know if they will beat Detroit again tonight. But I know they can. It's an important disinction, because after Game 4 (which resuscitated the written-off-as-dead Dallas team and put us 1-3 in the series), Conventional...
The probability is large - nay, great - that tonight's contest against the Detroit Red Wings marks the final outing of the Dallas Stars' 2007-08 season. Hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not, it has still been a lot of...
Detroit resident/DMN alum/Wingnut Dan Shine says we ought to scrap that old bet-between-mayors (you know, Dallas BBQ versus Green Bay Cheese, or cowboy boots versus somebody else's fruity indigenous wine or regional potpie or something). He suggests that we swap...
I guess our fan geekdom is now complete: We're joining (what I hope will be) the hordes to watch the opening game of the Stars-Wings series at AT&T Plaza tonight. Lawn chairs: check. Steve Ott jersey: check. Portable radios so...
Ed, last night was the longest hockey game I have ever attended - we got home a little before 3 a.m. - and it was worth every minute. OK, I will admit that I wavered sometime during the third overtime....
Sorry, y'all. I win....
Having been present for the Ducks' 4-2 thrashing of our own Dallas Stars on Tuesday, I talked Mike out of trying to scare up tickets for tonight. The homeboys can win this one and they will -- if their play...
Don't call my house early tomorrow: The Dallas Stars' first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs is tonight, and the puck doesn't drop til 9 p.m. The jaded crew in our Sports department is predicting the Stars will repeat a...
