Dallas Mavericks To Rodrique Beaubois: Air France Is Cleared for Take Off!
Posted: 7th March 2010 by Janet Kessler in NBA
The "Jet" is not on the runway! With fan favorite Jason "Jet" Terry in the hanger recovering from successful face surgery, a call went out to the remaining Mavericks' bench. Who would be more than a body taking Terry's valuable minutes (Terry is second only to top scorer Dirk Nowitzki), and who will give the Mavericks points and a sense of stability? "It will be done by committee," said ...
Feb. 12, 2010áDear Diary,áI Learned today that point-guard Jason Kidd is going to the All-Star Game.áá He was picked to replace injured Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant.á That saves Dallas the embarrassment of being a host city with only one player on the team.áI also watched the opening ceremonies to the Winter Olympic Games tonight.á Fantastic show, a tribute to Canada's rich and diverse culture.áDirk Nowitzki's buddy Steve Nash one-upped ...
What if the New Jersey Nets Had Hired Avery Johnson?
Posted: 2nd December 2009 by Janet Kessler in NBA
The New Jersey Nets have just announced GM Kiki Vandeweghe will be their new head coach. Best of luck to ya Kiki.
What if they had hired Coach Avery Johnson?
Why not, Johnson is still available! After all we're talking a former Head-Coach of the Year recipient with play-offs and finials experience.
He was a stellar point-guard in his days, and got a ring with the San Antonio Spurs. His only fault is when he ...
For the Dallas Mavericks, Raising Roddy Requires Baby Steps
Posted: 24th November 2009 by Janet Kessler in NBA
One thing every Dallas Mavericks fan can agree on is that we want Rodrique Beaubois to play more minutes.á Sometimes bringing up the future stud takes patience, and for now the Mavericks have the luxury of taking their time with Roddy. á Little Roddy isáblazing fast like Devon Harrisùmaybe faster,ábutáRoddy knows how to throttle thatáspeed down when he needs to, unlike Harris.á That should lessen the likelihood that he injures ...
For the Dallas Mavericks, Life Under the Radar is Very Sweet
Posted: 22nd November 2009 by Janet Kessler in NBA
By now, we Mavs fans are used to our Dallas Mavericks gettingálittle to no recognition for playing at the top of the league...but that's okay!áIt's okay that the national media doesn't mention our Mavericks when they talk about the top powers of the leagueáor who willáthe season's championship contenders mayábe...and we scream "idiots!" áYou would be hard pressed toáfind any nationalámedia outlet covering the NBA mentioning how great the Mavericks ...
Well I was so hoping to be able to write a glowing review of how Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo stood tall and fearlessáin the pocket against the blitzing Denver Broncos defense and won the game.á
á
Sorry... that was just the dream I had last night.
Another lack-luster game with Romo having trouble connecting with his receivers. Again Romo underutilized his weapons, and again Romo looked lost and dazed, looking most ...
Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo Needs to Step Up In Week Four!
Posted: 2nd October 2009 by Janet Kessler in NFL
Well it's been three weeks now and I'm still waiting for the "real" Tony Romo to show up.áSadly, Dallas Cowboys fans, this might be as real as we can expect.áOver the summer Romo rid himself of the peskyádistracting girlfriend Jessica Simpson, and the Cowboys firedáthe demanding loudmouth wide-receiver Terrell Owens.á áSo what is Romo's excuse now?áOwner Jerry Jones parted ways with T.O. stating he wanted to make the team more ...
For the Dallas Cowboys’ Passing Game ,There Is Life After T.O.!
Posted: 14th September 2009 by Janet Kessler in NFL
This Sunday the Dallas Cowboys answered the critical question: How will the passing game survive after the departure of wide receiver Terrell Owens? A 34-21 victory over the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay was a good start for the 2009 season. But the score could have been higher for the Cowboys. Without the drama or the popcorn that we had come to expect from Owens, the Cowboys looked like a team more focused under the leadership of ...
