robert's Bio

B/R has changed, and I really don't like it.

I used to encourage anybody and everybody to post on my BB, and I would try to read it if I could. That has changed.

If I am a fan of yours, let me see your stuff. I became a fan for a reason, and that is because I like what you write and want to read more. I cannot guarantee I will read it, as I spend less time on this site now than I have in the past. But if I can, and the subject interests me, I'll try and give it a look.

If you are a Cowboys, Mavericks, or Baylor Bears writer, I want to read your stuff.

If you are a new person on this website that is looking to build a fanbase and/or are in need of some feedback on your articles, let me know and I will try and help out.

If you are a part of the growing B/R Brown Nosing Community, please pass my BB by. Do not fan add me in hopes that I will reciprocate with a POTD vote. Do not send me your latest exclusive interview of another B/R writer. Do not send me articles entitled "The top 10 things I love about B/R" or "My favorite B/R writers and why they are so tremendous." I really, really, REALLY do not care.

This used to be a sports website, and my favorite one at that. I am hoping that the upcoming NFL season will bring SPORTS back to the forefront. Until that happens, however, I will probably be lurking in the background...waiting.

In addition to my own writing, I am also a part of two roundtables. Links to both are below.

The Short List What robert thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Demarcus Ware, Jason Witten, Robert Griffin, JET Terry, Dirk, Romo, Willie Andrews before he got busted for pot, Emmit, Mike & Troy, Marrion Barber, Donovan McNabb despite his Eagle-ness, Peyton but NOT Eli, Tiger (I'm sure I'm the only one, right?), Chad Johnson & TO for obvious reasons, Marvin Harrison, Drew Brees, DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith, and I could keep going... so many great ones
Favorite Sports Teams

Cowboys, Mavs, Baylor Bears
Favorite Coaches

Art Briles, Mike Singletary, Jimmy Johnson, Scott Drew
All Time Sports Moment

Beating the Spurs in the playoffs and advancing to the Finals... wish we could have finished but that was still a great run. I would say the 3 Cowboys Super Bowls of the early 90s, but I was too young
Most Memorable Game Attended

35-34 Baylor vs Aggie was the most exciting game I have ever attended
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

No such thing as an unbreakable record...
Ruth or Mays?

Yuck... baseball
Unitas or Montana?

Both legends but both before my time, but if you twisted my arm I would probably say.... eh, I dunno
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan
Gretzky or Orr?

Hockey?? Really?? (Although I am sure the answer is Mr. Wayne, right? Not Batman, the other Wayne)
Pele or Maradona?

PELE!!!! (haha honestly, never heard or Maradon)
Federer or Sampras?

This isnt a sport.... Ok it is, but not one I can watch without falling quickly into REM
Tiger or Nicklaus?

ROAR!!.... (thats a tiger)
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt was a bad man
Schumacher or Senna?

Who or what?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 12 BABY!!

Hey bud, got quite the debate stirring up in this one, check it out if you're interested in the NFL's Dirtiest Player Award going to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward.

I haven't been on B/R for a long time because my favorite writer doesn't write regularly anymore. I'm proud of you for being a passionate and gifted writer. But I read your bio this morning and wanted you to know I'm also very proud of you for being a leader and not a follower, for your honesty and integrity, and for not allowing your disappointment in B/R to stop you from being willing to help serious up and coming writers like you were at one time. In all you wrote, whether it was an article or a comment, you wrote with great style and humility. Everything you wrote, whether it was analytical or humorous, was edifying. And you have clearly demonstrated how much you enjoy passionate, carefully considered discussion and debate about sports. Thank you for sharing with us the gift of knowing you better through your writing.
