DFW Sports Review

Well everyone, it's our favorite time of year, that's right, you guessed it! NBA regular season! Now, if you believe in my previous statement you must have zero life and must enjoy watching zero effort being displayed in what we call a professional game. However, I decided to make a point about the Dallas Mavericks today. Before this season started everyone was saying the Mav's would be lucky to get into the playoffs. "Oh, we missed out on D-Will! There's no chance we'll ever be good again!" Now, before I say this listen to me. I'm not saying were going to make the playoffs, but from what I've seen in the stat sheet and from the game against the Raptors the other night, the Mav's look for real. O.J. Mayo has been playing out of his mind thus far this season. And don't look now, but the Mav's are 4-1 and tied with the lead of their division with the somehow non-aging San Antonio Spurs. I swear to God, it really does seem like Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili (Is Najera around?) have been in this league since I was an infant, and they only seem to get better the closer they get to forty. I don't think the Mav's will keep up this pace, but Kaman has looked good, Mayo has looked good, and so had Jae "Make It Rain" Crowder, and we don't even have Dirk yet. So I think we should keep on eye on this team throughout the season, because if we make the playoffs then we'll be a dangerous team to play in my opinion if we can stay healthy.

In Ranger's news, if you haven't heard yet then get ready for probably the biggest news in DFW sports this week. The Ranger's have told USA Today Sports that their max length of a contract with Josh Hamilton is three years. I can hear all the women starting to cry as I wrote that last sentence. Personally, I think three years is all he deserves. He's done nothing but choke in the playoffs and get plastered at local bars since he's been here. He's blamed poor play on God's decision for HIM to stop dipping. To be honest I don't want him back. He doesn't want to be here in my opinion and I'm happy to let him go. We'll probably offer him three years and around fifteen million a year which I think is fair due to the hazards of his personality, and his body. But, even with that we won't get him here. Some bullshit team like the BoSox are going to offer him seven years and over $100 mil, just wait. He'll go up there have mediocre years for a mediocre team and never win a ring. So do whatever you want Josh, don't worry man, we didn't give you you're last chance or anything in the sport.

Call me crazy here, but I think the Cowboys could possibly still make the playoffs. seven out of their next eight games are against teams that are below .500. The Eagles twice, the Redskins twice, the Saints, and then Cleveland and Cincinnati. Can anyone honestly tell me that any of those games aren't possible to be won? RG3 is struggling as of late, Vick can't hold onto the ball or stay in the pocket for more than two seconds, Weeden is already taking social security, and soulless ginger is going to be on the field. I'm not going to mention the Saint's because I think their starting to right the ship and I would see that as a VERY tough game for the Cowboys to win. The other game is against the Steelers who have looked very suspect thus far this season in the run game. I think every game on the schedule in winnable for Dallas. If you win six, then you're 9-7 and have a great shot for a wild card spot and that was good enough to win the division last year even. The Cowboys have the number four overall defense and the number four pass defense in the league, so I'm confident that if Romo starts actually playing like were they ones paying him not the other team then there's a real shot to salvage this season.

In Dallas Stars news...........to soon? Get a deal done NHL, I need something actually competitive to watch this spring.
