the start to the mavericks season has been so galling that it should inspire deep reflection from within the organization. my latest for @dmagazine.bsky.social goes over what's gone wrong, and what should be the next steps in building around cooper flagg www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...
It's Already Time For the Mavericks to Pivot to the Future - D Magazine
Sometimes, eight games can tell you a lot. In the Mavericks' case, it's this: Dallas needs to give up any thought of contending this year and look to the future.

Found this in a box in the garage, a grim portent of the year ahead. I would ask if this stuff goes bad but that would imply that it was good at some point.

Wonderful read about toughness and body language in sports.
I need Luka to have that epiphany. I’m sure people have talked to him about it, too. It needs to stick.

Managed to include two different sports and 3 three superstars in my latest piece. They all share some of the same issues. Or did
Luka Doncic, Mo Salah, Kevin Durant

Luka Dončić, body language and leadership: Greatness doesn’t shake his head
When a leader of a team displays bad body language, it spreads like ripples in the water. But everybody needs a reminder, even Kevin Durant and Mo Salah.

wtf, will all these people just shut the fuck up forever please
It seems utterly bizarre to write a piece about how Twitter turned into a venue for Nazis to promote their ideas to each other and lead by blaming liberals for giving up on some noble principle

My latest:
A Celtics fan reminded me of Kyrie Irving’s journey in Dallas from villain to big-hearted hero
It took less than 2 years to change the narrative but the truth is that Kyrie is a fan favorite in Dallas
That thought touched me, so I wrote about it

How the redemption story of Kyrie Irving brought meaning to Dallas
Kyrie Irving completely changed the narrative around himself after arriving in Dallas. He went from villain to big-hearted good guy in less than two years.
