Janet's Bio

Dallas Native of 40+ years. Starting watching sports with my dad, when I was big enough to set in his lap.
You see I grew up when the Dallas Cowboys Were in Dallas. Dallas had only 1 pro sport team then, and we liked it. Those of you from Dallas will reconize this, I'm what you call a 'Grove Rat'.

My first sports love is the Cowboys, although i've been uninspired to write about them yet. Was infatuated with the Rangers. That lasted till Tom Hicks bought them. My current focus is mostly Mavericks. Basketball is such a thrill.

Anyway, I have a weird understanding of football and basketball. I mean, I'm not like most girls. I understand in detail what going on with the game. Sometime more than the guys I'm watching it with.

I'm completly a novice at writing. My goal is project my passion for my team.

    Hi Janet, how do you think the Mavs did last night?

    A call to arms! A great idea from a great writer...b/r is all about giving back, and as Zander has said more than once..."sense of community". Please give this a read and please post your thoughts and comments!

    Hey Janet,

    Shameless plug alert: I cranked out a quick one about the Mavs' possible strategies in trading with Portland.

    Hi Janet,

    Thought I would give The Relay for Life one more push before our big event Saturday. This one is a more in-depth look into the story of Dave Dravecky. Also posted a link for the Josiah Herring Funeral Fund!
