In 1987, my family and I went to a formal fund-raising dinner that my Dad organized at a Washington D.C. hotel. It was a very exciting event as it was attended by a wide range of dignitaries and personalities. Even without knowing who everyone was, I remember being mesmerized by the scene and feeling the […]

This very well could be the most overused phrase in sports.
It’s also the #1 goal of every NFL player when he steps onto the football field. When they slip on their pads, uniform, and helmet in the locker room, they know nothing else. This mantra is what propels these athletes to relinquish all accessible firepower […]

Personally, there’s nothing more aggravating than not reacting quick enough or simply misjudging a dip in the road and expecting to see your muffler in the rear view mirror laying in the middle of the road. The fact is that most depressions in the road are supposed to be there. They are designed to be […]

Football wisdom and excellent business rationality have gone M.I.A. from the city of Detroit for many years, but you can’t avoid the seven-year abyss that has engulfed the city since President and CEO Matt Millen took over.

In the winter of 2001, I went camping and hiking with my cousin in Colorado at Taylor Reservoir Park in San Isabel National Forest. We set up camp in one of most beautiful spots on the planet at 11, 400 feet next to Mirror Lake at the base of the Sawatch mountain range including Fitzpatrick Peak which soared in […]

Fred Mabson, a local restaurant owner, said that he was a kid who “had no advantage in any way, shape, or form. His parents were not wealthy.” Which would explain the small vague house across from the old town cemetary.
Rick Koceja, a sixth grade P.E. teacher, called him a typical boy who was “a little hyper. Very […]

Was there really any fear that Dallas was going to fold like a dilapidated lawn chair? Did anyone question the Cowboys’ resolve and discipline to concentrate on the nose-diving Jets? How many of you honestly thought that this was a “trap game?”
Last Thursday’s annihilation of the J-E-T-S had the same look as an appetizer placed in front […]

Throughout the 2007 season, the Cowboys have not fallen into the trap of the infamous “trap game” where they enter a contest with a sub-par opponent the week before a critical battle that has implications on their season or playoff standing. This is a team that just plowed through three straight games against their division […]

February 25, 1989 is a very dark day in the eyes of many Cowboys faithful.
For twenty nine years, Tom Landry patrolled and managed the Dallas sideline as he led this team to thirteen divison titles, five NFC championships, five Super Bowl appearances, two world championships, and an overall 270-178-6 record. This also included an NFL […]

Joe Gibbs is a man of integrity, committment, and faith. He’s as consummate of a professional as you will ever find among the NFL coaching ranks. His character and personality bleed into his work which grants him the ultimate respect that he deserves from his peers and players.
Gibbs is getting a lot of criticism and […]
