GO MAVS!!! 38-20
Just one day after Amar'e Stoudemire made his Dallas Mavs debut .. we're iced-in in Dallas!
At first, I wasn't fully convinced we needed Amar'e. He's 32 years old, played 12 years in the league, with multiple knee injuries and is quite past his prime (sound like a German stud you may know). Cuban acquired him from the New York Knicks and signed him to a one year deal for $487k to back-up Tyson Chandler.
The Mavs are on a 2 game win streak with a big win over Houston on Friday night and a win with Amar'e last night over the Charlotte Hornets. Monte Ellis had 23 points in the game and 15 of those came in the 4th Qtr.
The one nice thing to see with Stoudemire is dunking! Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons dunk, but it's not something you see from The Big German (except with his little exhibition in the All-Star game with Stephan Curry - watch). All in all, welcome Amar'e to the team!
We're in the second half of the season and only two months out from Playoffs!!
**It was just reported that Rajon Rondo is working with Shooting Coach, Holger Geschwindener, a mentor to the great Dirk Nowitzki. This is wonderful news, it's like Charles Barkely getting help with his golf swing, only golf wasn't his professional sport!**
In other basketball news... we are nearing the NCAA Tournament, aka... March Madness!!! :) More to come! Get your brackets ready!!

GO RANGERS!!!
Pitchers and Catchers have already reported to Spring Training this week in Surprise, AZ!!
Ahhh, if I close my eyes, I can already smell the fresh cut grass. We are 8 weeks away from Opening Day!!
A few things to know...
1) We just extended Adrian Beltre's contract through 2016! Jon Daniels baked in the option to extend an extra year, so they did. 1 Point for the Rangers Management.
2) I already told you they traded Robbie Ross and Alexi Ogondo to the Boston Red Sox, right? Robbie Ross was a left-handed pitcher. Those aren't easy to come by, so we'll see what Daniels does before the season starts to beef up our rotation.
3) Comeback Pitchers: Matt Harrison, Derek Holland, Yu Darvish, Neftali Feliz and Martin Perez. These kids are all at training camp and are gearing up for the season. We can't have as many injuries as we did last year, it just can't happen.
4) We've lost Jurickson Profar for the entire 2015 season. He's the young guy who replaced Ian Kinsler at 2nd base. Karma that he's injured now? I don't believe in karma. I think it's just part of behind human and playing a sport at a high level. He had a shoulder tear last September and chose to rehab instead of have surgery. Now, he has to have surgery, which will most likely get him back in time for us to make a World Series Run. :) Like how I spun that? Jon Daniels defends him in this article.
GO COWBOYS!!!
The NFL Combine was this past week. Yes, you can classify me as a total nerd for watching most of it. But seriously, how fun to see these college kids come out and make a name for themselves!! These are the kids who "walk-on" essentially, into the NFL! A few are highly scouted and sought after, but not all.
You have to watch this kid from UConn, Byron Jones, which you typically know for their basketball program, but he broke the broad jump record and had a 44.5 inch vertical jump!! Crazienss! To have ups like that? This kid is super athletic and will be a huge asset to any team! Come on Jerry... pick this kid up in Round 2, you share a last name and should share a Super Bowl Ring! #Cowboys2015
Only 9 weeks until the NFL Draft. And you thought football was over. Muwahahah! :)

Yes, that may seem a bit silly, but Swimwear and the first Spring delivery will hit retail floors the end of February. Crazy, you say? That is retail, it's crazy. People go on cruises, take random vacations, or live in Florida, so they start Spring in February or the first week of March.
Now, don't go crazy, trends are bound to change a small bit by next year, but if you need new sweaters or basics that you can wear for the next three years and want to get it at a great price, shop now! Then, wait until the end of March to buy Spring product. By then, most of the first set will start going on sale and the items you really want and are willing to pay full price for will be arriving!
It's all a mind game, so best of luck! Remember, don't buy it if you don't love it! There's no reason to waste money on things you "think you need."
