In this job every so often you get a chance to meet "your heroes." One of those recently was the chance to talk to the drummer of The Police - Mr. Stewart Copeland. On this one, I could not hide my fandom.

July ‘24 Im at TCU to talk to Desmond Bane who is working out. Another guy workouts.
After I ask Bane, “Was that Mikal Bridges?” Bane said no.
15 min later I meet the mystery player who says, “Hi. I’m Mikal Bridges.”
He’s traded the next day to the @nyknicks

@bergerdad @AmericanAir Just give them more money. And then more money. That usually helps.

The Stars & Mavs will be 8.8 miles from the other in their new respective arena/entertainment complexes.
The Mavs wanted to do this.
The Stars HAD to do this, & Dallas had 0 chance of keeping them.

@mitchsmith67 @NathanGraviteh I've covered this for 25 years. I've seen their data. Every time the Stars invest in Tarrant county they don't get the ROI. Hockey is an arena-first business model.
The majority of their fans live in north Dallas & Collin County.
It's the way it is.

@mitchsmith67 @NathanGraviteh This is where their money resides and plays
