As a Dallas Mavericks fan, I feel like I’ve had a rough year, from a fan’s perspective. There’s no denying it. When you consider that I’m also a fan of the New York Giants and Manchester United, you’d imagine that I would spend most of my days with a shrink trying to overcome the PTSD […]
Go to the parade. Always go to the parade, guys. Why didn’t I fly out to watch the playoffs? I have repeatedly asked myself this since Luka Doncic was traded away. Why didn’t I go, enjoy the big moments fully, celebrate it more. If only there was a way to know you’re in the good […]
