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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

Rangers lose Game 1

GO RANGERS!!! Rangers lose to the Kansas City Royals, 2-1. Their pitching was spectacular. Our pitching wasn't too bad, but yet again, we couldn't hit against Santana! (that was KC's pitcher) The Rangers are 7 games behind Oakland to win the Division. Clearly we probably won't catch up to them, but we can still get a Wild Card spot if they ever start winning consistently!  Game 2 in KC is tomorrow night - Matt Garza is pitching for the Rangers!  Cheer Loudly!  GO COWBOYS!!! 12:00 PM - this Sunday - St. Louis Rams vs Dallas Cowboys.  Enjoy your family, friends and some football!!! :) "Day of Rest" Random Info: The two teams who have already secured a spot in the Playoffs are:  ~ Boston Red Sox (we used to have Mike Napoli  - he is a great Home Run hitter and now plays for Boston... his beard fits in perfectly there)  ~ LA Dodgers (We like their Manager - Don Mattingly  - he used to play for the NY Yankees back in the day!)  ...
