I Got a Girl Crush: Dr Diz re Women’s vs Men’s Sports, not Mets vs Yanks
FORT WORTH, TX – The Yankees held off the Mets in a slop-fest. Now that we got that out of the way… We were watching my bud’s daughter – who plays for the defending state champion Aledo Bearcats – play softball last week. Was almost unfair and unkind…the Bearcats returned nine starters from last years […]
Baseball Purist… Not! Cheerleaders and Bad Music Killing Game
FORT WORTH, TX – It’s baseball season here and this past Sunday, the Doc was at beautiful Lupton Field to watch the #3 Horned Frogs of TCU complete a sweep of the Wichita State Shockers. 85 degrees. Sunny. Kinda humid. Perfect baseball weather. Well, ‘cept for a couple of things that got on my nerves. […]
Goof Balls and Curve Balls: Dr Diz on Lefties and Beer
FT. WORTH, TX – It’s that time of year where an old man’s mind starts to wander… to daydream… to think about nicer things. Booze and baseball. Yep, time for spring training and then opening day, aided and abetted by two of the nations three favorite drinkin’ holidays….St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo. Yippee! […]
How March Madness Includes Obama, Putin, Virginia, Villanova, Gonzaga?
FT. WORTH, TX – Sitting around at the venerable Campesi’s in the Fort the other night, eating pasta and watching Arkansas hold off an Aggie comeback in college hoops…yep, it’s that time of year again, March Madness time.

A Tale of Two Cities: Dr Diz on Seattle vs Boston & Cheating Coaches
FORT WORTH, TX – It’s Super Duper Bowl time again, when America gets to watch some football squeezed in between commercials, while chowing down on the food that made Chris Christie the man that he is. I’m thinking that he’s a shoe-in to represent a large [ahem] constituency that have not had one of their […]
Red Fish, Blue Fish: College Football, Paul Krugman and NY Times Trashing It
Time for the Big Kahuna. THE Ohio State University against Oregon for all the marbles. The National College Football Championship. Reading the venerable NY Times over the past season, it seems that the fair denizens of Gotham City (or at least those who utilize The Times for their information) seem to think of college football […]
Touchdowns for Jesus? Doc Diz re College Football Playoffs
FORT WORTH, TX – Down at Poag Mahones in the Fort…drinkin’ Rahr beer and discussing, with my fellow denizens of the night, the upcoming College Football Playoffs. We have 11-1 Alabamie at #1 Oregon, # 2, TCU at 11-1 as # 3 and Florida State at 12-0 coming in # 4. Ohio State and Baylor, both […]
Doc Diz re Nick Saban with the Devil, TCU, Bama and College Picks
FORT WORTH, TX – I think Nick Saban is in cahoots with Beelzebub. How else do you explain their victory last week? LSU holds em’ to ten points…..ten…over the course of the game. With 50 seconds left, the Bayou Bengals kick a field goal to go ahead. 50 seconds. And Bama has no timeouts. So, […]
Seperation Anxiety: College Football Picks and Points from Doc Diz
MANHATTAN, THE ONE IN KANSAS – This the home to the Kansas State Wildcats and located in the heart of the heartland, dry land wheat country. It’s kinda like a zit on a red heads butt… noticeable from a distance. This weekend, those Cat’s travel south on the plains to take on the TCU Horned […]
Lawn Pool, Tornadoes, Golf and Ugly Sports Jackets
FT WORTH, TX – It’s that time of the year that bring a few things to Texas: Thunderstorms, Flash Flooding, Hail, Tornadoes and… Golf. Yep, it’s time for both the Colonial in Fort Worth and the Byron Nelson over by Dallas. Every year these two stops on the PGA Tour go back-to-back, allowing the area […]
