I’m Back!
The Ledger is back!
Sorry about the long pause in writing…sometimes the military takes precedence over everything common. It’s quite ok, that is what I signed up for. Nevertheless, I have a good interview cooking up with one of D/FW’s lovable yet controversial sports radio hosts!

Thinking Out Loud (Again)
- It’s been a bad few weeks for sports in Spain.
Sergio Garcia’s recent meltdown on the links comes on the heels of previous poor showings for Spanish sports. Powerful Spanish futbol clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid also folded under pressure last month in the semi-finals of the Champions League. What could have been an all-Spanish championship abruptly turned into an all-German match as Bayern Munich and Borussia clobbered Messi & Ronaldo.
- Who would have thought we could possibly see a Golden State-Memphis Western Conference Finals?
- That comeback by the Boston Bruins against Toronto……Unbelievable!
- It is apparent Mark Cuban is a forward thinker. With his roster in shambles headed into the 2013-14 season, he has authorized fans to submit entries for a new uniform look for the 2014-15 season. Don’t stand too close that shark tank Mark, you’re liable to accidentally fall in if you don’t right this ship.
- Last but not least, Go Rangers!
