I’m in the USA for the first time - just had my first american breakfast (burp) which also included sightings of Linda Gray and Larry Hagman - you know that you’re in Texas when… Before yesterday, I hadn’t been on a plane for more than 4 hours and never been on anything bigge...

If you’re throwing a block party, you better invite The Birdman. Well, the NBA season is headed down the home stretch and you may find yourself in a situation where you need to attack certain fantasy categories. For those rotisserie basketball guys, you may need to shore up in some cats and ca...

After enduring hassle after hassle, I have no time to write anything. I had set my DVR to record the game because I was knew I was going to be gett...

Mark Cuban was none too pleased with the Mavericks' 96-87 loss to Oklahoma City on Monday, so he's putting his team on notice. Any more lackadaisical play, and (use Trump voice here) you're fired.
