March Madness ~ Mean to Me

March Madness!!!

You officially have one more day to fill out your bracket before the games begin!! 


What is March Madness??


It's college basketball. It's 64 teams. It's the Sweet Sixteen. It's the Elite Eight. It's the Final Four. It's the National Championship. It's cutting down the net!!


Uconn won last year... watch this highlight reel.

You may have an office pool going on, with everyone filling out brackets... here are a few things to note... 

1. The person who normally wins is the person who knows the least about basketball and typically picks based on team colors. Betting more than $5 is unwise, unless you're the person mentioned above. 
2. SMU hasn't been in the tournament in 22 years. So, if you're from TX and want to represent - you should pick them to beat UCLA. 
3. Texas, as in UT, is in the big dance again. I'm not a huge UT fan and am not sure they will beat Butler. But, if you're an alumni of UT, pick them. Ha! (you would anyway)
4. Texas Southern also made the big dance. They're up against Arizona! I picked Arizona.
5. If you're going to pick an "upset" or "Cinderella school" - don't keep them going much past the Sweet Sixteen. This year is supposed to be pretty clean with schools ranked in the top 4 making it to the finals. Just what "they" are saying! Do as you will! 

**I missed SFA. They were in the tournament last year and are playing Utah this year. They are a decent pick for an upset, but I picked Utah.**

Random Info:
So, I love Country Music. Yes, I said it, and I'm not ashamed. 

Randomly, had CMT on the other day, and this song came on, that I love!! 



I caught myself watching this video wondering... why is the whole thing like a Calvin Klein model shoot of Bret Eldredge?? The song is about a woman, in a crowded room, that he's watching and admiring. 

I started laughing because there isn't a female in this video until the last 20 seconds, in which she acts shocked to see him in an EMPTY room! Ha! Not that I'm a video producer, but just figure if you sing a song about a chick, there should be one with you in your music video. 

Props that it was shot in NYC. 

End of story.

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  Ton

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.  Dang it.  I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field .  And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama!  And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto.   No,
