Rangers season picks up today, and the main question is obvious: what do the Rangers do at the deadline? Allow @zcrizer.bsky.social to present three very McMurtry-tinged options: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Good morning. I went to yesterday’s World Cup semifinal (which ruled) and thought a lot about why it mattered so much to North Texas that this tournament went as well as it did. Then I wrote about it: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

The dude Jake Kemp is in Hawaii right now but he still has thoughts about Santi Aldama. Or, more specifically, thoughts on what that acquisition and others tell us about how management will conduct business. Honor his toil from paradise and read! www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Enough has happened with Jason Robertson that, even before we get resolution, I pressed @seanshapiro.bsky.social into duty to write about how we got here & what's at stake. After yesterday, that resolution better involve Robertson being in Dallas for a long time www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Happy Thursday friends, @machinesports.bsky.social and I got the esteemed @bannedmacmahon.bsky.social on the program! You've got Mavs questions, he's got answers... and yeah, we asked him how many people really knew about the Luka trade. You know what to do: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFfS...

Gang, we've got fresh Jake Kemp words on Dusty May and Morez Johnson, and why they matter most: as windows into figuring out what this new Mavs regime values Good stuff here: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Sometimes turning back is the smart thing to do. Which MLB teams should abandon big spring expectations? Today in The Bandwagon, I help 6 teams make the call. bandwagon.ghost.io/selling-suns...

Good morning. I went to England-Croatia yesterday and wrote about what an Americanized World Cup feels like. It's weird! But be cynical about it at your own risk: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Look at our guy!!

NEW SHOW: Rick Carlisle (!) joins @machinesports.bsky.social and me to relive the 2011 Mavericks’ championship run round by round. This was so fun. Make sure you stay for the Corey Brewer story: m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7zG...

The dude @zcrizer.bsky.social has returned from conquering Europe to map out the ways the Rangers can conquer the American League. Well, less conquer than rise to the top of a muddy American League. Either way, it requires action. And he has ideas. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Whatever your feelings are about the Stars' move to Plano, @seanshapiro.bsky.social (and some folks around the NHL) have a reality check: the move makes sense in just about every way. Because the Stars are as well-positioned to move north as a franchise could be: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

[email protected] saw the Mavs to Valley View coming

The Barbed Wire was doing awesome, important work, and this news is a total bummer.

This week's guest on StrongSide, The Show is none other than the great @slightlybiased.bsky.social! Easily one of the best conversations we've had with a guest so far. It could not be more obvious why this dude is taking over the internet: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZYJ...

Hello. Here is Jake Kemp on Jason Kidd, featuring a VERY strong use of the Leopard Eating People's Faces meme. You know what to do. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Tim Brown is one of the best baseball writers alive, and his new Nolan Ryan biography -- out today! -- is phenomenal. We're very fortunate to be running an excerpt of it today, about him beating the crap out of Robin Ventura. It's so much fun. Make time for it: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Ranger fans, I've got something very, very, VERY special for you on the site tomorrow. Trust me when I say you'll love it.

Hill I will die on: @regadetula.bsky.social is one of the most talented people doing this. So it was a joy for @machinesports.bsky.social and I to bring on our favorite Houston defector to talk Rangers-Astros, Dallas and Houston sports culture, Nolan Ryan, and more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Wq...

If you know @seanshapiro.bsky.social, you know he doesn't tend to write pieces like what you're about to read. But with Jamie Benn's future in the balance, and the Stars refusing to make the tough call, he felt it was necessary. Mandatory hockey reading: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

The dude @christianclark3.bsky.social has been all over the Mavs basketball ops hiring process, so it was only right that @machinesports.bsky.social & I brought him on the show this week to talk Masai Ujiri, a new GM, offseason roster turnover, and more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHA...

Brian Dameris goes back a long time with Masai Ujiri, which makes him very equipped to answer the big question: why is Ujiri the right person to rebuild the Mavericks? Turns out, the reasons aren't limited to basketball. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Bryan Broaddus shares the true story of the Dallas Cowboys passing on drafting Randy Moss in the 1998 NFL Draft. Moss would go onto to be an NFL Hall of Famer with a 7-0 career record against the Cowboys that included 10 touchdown receptions.

All season long, @davidcastillo.bsky.social was nervous about this Stars team. Wrote it on our site. Said it on our show. Stuck to it. And he was right. This is the piece you need to read following the Minnesota series, about what went wrong & what must come next: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Said it a few years ago when he was semi-regularly clowning himself on social media & elsewhere (thankfully he seems to have tamped that down a bit), but I worried that people would remember Shaq more as a giant hacky bad-take-having pitchman instead of the absolute beast he was in his prime.

It's not quite Joba Chamberlain, but the Rangers and new manager Skip Schumaker have a decision to make: Is Jacob Latz best used as a closer ... or is he one of their best starters? I break down the considerations at @dmagazine.bsky.social. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Jacob Latz: pretty awesome! Jacob Latz: the first big decision of Skip Schumaker's tenure as Rangers manager. Here's the ultra-smart @zcrizer.bsky.social with a typically ultra-smart read www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

The single most important thing to understand about tech futurism is that, when Anthropic’s predictions turn out to be wrong, they don’t have to give the money back.

This didn’t happen

Brian Dameris doesn't know whether Cooper Flagg or Kon Knueppel will be named Rookie of the Year tonight. What he does know, as a guy who was there at the start of the NBA's analytics revolution, is the race stands for something bigger: data vs. instinct. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

I shouldn't need to sell you on reading Jake Kemp on the Cowboys' first round picks, but if I do: there's a Conestoga reference that had me crying laughing, and there's a little intel from Malachi Lawrence's trainer on what Dallas is getting there: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

The Stars are up 2-1 in the series and the power play is cooking. But if they are going to go deep this spring, the power play simply needs to be part of the arsenal. My lasted for @dmagazine.bsky.social www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

The Stars are up in their series with the Wild. That's good! But the more they lean on the power play to get things done, the more nervous you should get. Here are wise hockey words from @seanshapiro.bsky.social. Ignore them at your peril: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Listen to StrongSide Episode 23: The Mindset is the Culture from @mikelikessports.bsky.social and @machinesports.bsky.social featuring Duke Manyweather.

What's better than a fun first-round Stars playoff series? The best writer on the beat, @tiffin.bsky.social, breaking down everything you need to know going into the Minnesota matchup about two very, very similar squads. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

I joined @reinhart.bsky.social for a couple of these and let me just tell you, as a public service: never eat at The Liam. Borderline unedible stuff www.dmagazine.com/food-drink/2...

Ended up writing about Azzi Fudd and the Wings, because it is very weird to me that so many outlets worked so hard not to acknowledge who she's dating & why it's a basketball story when comes to the top overall pick (even if it won't be going forward). www.dmagazine.com/micropost/le...

Yes, Azzi Fudd is Paige Bueckers' girlfriend. She also brings a lot to the table beyond that. But is a worthy No. 1 overall pick the player who fit the Wings best? Here's @juscarts.com with your one-stop shop on Dallas' offseason & where the team stands now: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

How many times can we get mad at the Cowboys for not doing enough to build their roster in the off-season? It's time to come to terms with the fact that the Cowboys inability to finish the job. @mikelikessports.bsky.social @machinesports.bsky.social @davehelman.bsky.social

Listen to StrongSide Episode 22: Reluctant Cowboys Fans Unite from @mikelikessports.bsky.social and @machinesports.bsky.social featuring David Helman.

Under Eric's editorship Seattle Met was one of the best city mags in the country: innovative, exciting, and, most of all, fun. We all looked to it for ideas to steal. Just an incredibly stupid decision.

One of the greats, in every sense of the term

New show: our pal @bobbykaralla.bsky.social joins me and @machinesports.bsky.social to talk all things Mavs - yes, that includes Cuban/Kidd/the Adelson family. Because you'll want to hear the perspective of two people who worked for the team when it comes to that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG8p...

Wait a second, that's Isaac Harris' music! He's on the site today with a lovely story on Marvin Bagley, who talks about how he's reinvented himself as an NBA player. (There's one quote in particular that probably won't make Kings fans warm and fuzzy.) www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...

Personal news: I’m now a senior editor at D Magazine. Still writing, editing, and talking sports — just writing, editing, and maybe talking other stuff, too. Email still the same for all types of pitches. As you were!

New story: Two years ago, the Mavs, Stars, Rangers, & Wings all had to figure out their TV situations at the same time. They all arrived at different answers. For D CEO Magazine's sports business issue, I wrote about the Great Local Sports Media Upheaval: www.dmagazine.com/publications...

New for D Magazine: How Glen Gulutzan has turned the Stars from a good team into a very different good team. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2026/...
