Hooray for real sports! After what feels like a long sabbatical after the conference finals, the NBA Finals are about to get underway. As a basketball nut myself, I am so glad to see its return. The past week has shown just how empty the sports world can be.
For instance, the biggest...

If you've been listening to the voices in my head, you'd think the Lakers have no shot of beating the Spurs.
Don't fall for that trap though. Los Angeles is dangerous and has more than enough depth and skill to dethrone the defending champs. The series starts tonight at 8 in Los Angeles.
San...

I've always dismissed home field/court advantage in sports.
It just seems like the best team should be able to win regardless of where they are playing, and regardless of whether there are fans in the stands cheering them on, or not.
But my non-researched based theory is quickly sinking...

The NBA playoffs are in full swing with three games tonight.
Neither Dallas or San Antonio are in must-win situations, but both will enter the games with that mindset.
Dallas, down 1-0 to New Orleans, needs a victory much more than the Spurs after losing a lead in the first game of the series...

... but I've turned my son into a die-hard Jayhawks fan, too. Through the help of generous grandparents, we managed to score tickets to Saturday night's to the NCAA Final Four semi-final games in San Antonio.
Sharing the experience with my son is a memory that will last a lifetime. I swear the...

My family and I drove through Riverside Park today and realized the Bankshot baskets were gone. Does anybody know when they were removed or why?
We played the game for the first time a couple of months ago when a friend was visiting from out of town. On a whim, I called the 1-800 number listed...

We should have seen something like this coming.
After the Houston Rockets caught fire and are on a 12-game winning streak, we should have known it was too good to be true. Houston fans know the recent history with injuries to the team.
Reports out of Houston today say that Yao Ming is out for...

Aside from bringing Steve Nash back to Dallas, the best thing the Mavericks could do right now is keep working on a deal for Jason Kidd.
Yesterday the deal looked like it was going to happen, but then George nixed it. Dallas needs to infuse Kidd's talent into the team that is hitting a bit of a...

Being a single guy, this is supposed to be the loneliest and saddest week of the year for me. After all, while couples are out celebrating Valentine's Day, I'll be at work and then in my luxury apartment all alone.
But luckily for me, the world of sports has saved me again this year. While this...

If you were glued to the seven hours of pregame talk before the Super Bowl, you missed the Dallas Mavericks taking on the Detroit Pistons in an afternoon game.
On second thought, you didn't miss anything. The Mavs lost 90-67 and looked even worse than the score indicates.
“We...

People always say not to believe everything you read in the news, but this is actually true. As hard as it is to believe, a mens team from Baylor is ranked in the Top 25 of an Associated Press poll.
And the remarkable thing is that it's not in tennis or baseball.
For the first time since 1969...

I made the mistake of waiting too long to try to buy tickets to the KU-Texas A&M game March 8 in College Station.
I'm used to watching KU play on the road at the University of Colorado, where attendance typically is woeful. I've never had any trouble getting tickets to watch KU trounce CU....

Though the best part of the college basketball season isn't until March, things are looking pretty interesting early this year.
Some of the top programs in the country are off to good starts, including Kansas (8-0), North Carolina (8-0) and Duke (6-0). It's not that surprising given that the...

While many NBA fans will take the bait and declare the Boston Celtics the team to beat this season, I'm still holding on to some doubts. After all, the team is only 6-0 after Tuesday's win over Indiana and they haven't played the top teams in the league.
Kevin Garnett is looking strong on...
