About Janet »

I'm a Dallas Native of 40+ years. I got my start with sports at a very very young age. As far back as my memory goes, I can remember watching some kind of sports game with my dad.

In the beginning there was only the Dallas Cowboys, and only the Dallas Cowboys I loved. I remember other pro-sports came and went, finding it hard to carve a niche in Dallas. Finally a few choice teams made it.

Those of you from Dallas will recognize this, I'm what you call a "Grove Rat."

My first love of sport is the Cowboys. My inspiration to write about them is equal to their credibility, and both are little low on the radar.

I'm in the mist of a revival with the Rangers, now that Tom Hicks is paying people with brains to make the decisions (Jerry Jones please take notes).

My current focus is mostly Mavericks. Basketball is such a thrill to me.

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 way more than the guys I'm watching it with.

I can be best described as a late bloomer in writing. My goal is still the same, even though I'm branching into other teams, that of projecting my passion for my teams.

For those of you who are better at watching sports than playing sports, check out my in depth non-team specific writing at http://howtowatchsports.com/

    How deep do you think the Cowboys are?

    This article will test it.

    I really want some Cowboys fans input.

    I appreciate it.

    This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

    Thank you everyone!

    Wat up, JK! Hope things are going well for you and the family. I have had to run home (West Palm Beach) a few times to care for my mom. She's doing much better and so I am now back in Baton Rouge.

    Great piece you wrote. Of course you already knew that :-).
