Well, after years of wanting to, I’m finally starting my blog on sports. I could type some line about how this will be sports info from a woman’s perspective, but that would sort of run counter to the whole point of doing this. True, not too many women (especially in Dallas, TX) enjoy sports to the level I do. But I can’t stand the whole segregation of woman’s and men’s perspectives on any issue, especially sports. So this is just my way of recording my thoughts on the day’s happenings in the world of sports.

First, a confession. Though I live in Dallas, I favor the sports teams of Houston, TX. I grew up there and still feel an allegiance to their teams. Now, living in Dallas, I will root, root, root for my home team unless they’re playing a select group of other teams. I was born and raised in Michigan so there’s a group of teams that have a prominant player who graduated from U of M that I feel the need to root for. But typically I will root for Dallas to be a good sport.

Having said that, I’m really looking forward to the start of Cowboys training camp! Finally some football to watch! And finally we’ll start to see some proof of whether or not Bill Parcels was really holding the team back the way so many of the players seem to indicate he was. Personally, I think the people trying to pin their lack of success last year on Parcels need to take a long look in the mirror. I realize professional sports are different from the job I go to day in and day out, but so many people tell you to remember that sports are just a business. Well, most businesses I know of do not tolerate their employees blaming their lack of production on their boss. Take the heat and just resolve yourself to doing better this season. End of story! But with the start of the season, we’ll also get a better feel for whether or not Wade Phillips was the right choice for head coach. Personally, I’m still wishing that Lovie Smith would have come available. But I’m willing to give Coach Phillips the benefit of the doubt for now.

So, what can you expect to see in the future from this blog, if you happen to be visiting? Lots of talk about football, my true passion. But talk about sports in general and really just my thoughts on all the happenings. Hope you’re able to take away some insight from these thoughts. I’ve got a lot to say!
