I am an avid sports fan who happens to write a little something every now and again. I have been driving people nuts on twitter especially when my favorite teams such as the Cowboys, Texas A&M, Rangers and Mavericks play, so I thought it was time I wrote in much longer form hope you enjoy it. I have 3 kids and a wonderful wife who put up with my football obsession every fall. Feel free to follow me @revcoldfire on twitter. I have a decent Madden 11 record if u feel up to the challenge.... [haha now im gonna get beat by everybody.] Look for more from here when the sports bug bites me.
I remember in 2006 every time I wore a Mavericks jersey or cap they would lose. Seriously it was so crazy I would be so excited about my Dallas Mavericks being in the finals but couldn’t show it with the gear. Then we took a 3-1 lead in the finals I broke out the Mavs [...]
My wife saw all the men on Facebook who typed “Sweep” after the most decisive win I believe in Mavericks history. She said “Well if all these men really feel the need to do housework here’s a broom!” The Mavericks played an amazing game four in which the bench of the Mavs almost out played [...]
I have reserved my opinion about my hometown basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks, for some time now taking a wait and see approach.

I grew up the son of a proud union man. He was never one to just pull the party line without considering things himself. When push came to shove if the Union said they were going to do something be it strike, walk out, etc… My father was there doing what was asked of him [...]
Imagine that you watch your favorite team as they work their way to the top of the sports mountain in their respective sport. You suffer through seasons in which they have fallen short before and now they are the champions of their division and are headed to a showdown in Dallas. You scrape together all [...]
“J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets!!” Those were my words on twitter when asked at the beginning of the year who I thought would represent the AFC in the Super bowl. Now with full disclosure, I did also pick the Dallas Cowboys to be representing the NFC. So, I may have gotten at least one of the two [...]
In college football the bar is set extremely high for every team in it. You have to be perfect to even have a shot to play in a national championship.
This time of the college football season is probably the most exciting for a Texas A&M fan. The game coming up is the Aggies biggest rivalry by far.
