Disclosures

I am squarely in the camp that believes that it is nearly impossible to read a truly unbiased article. I think that this applies to sports as well as politics or current events - though it is considerably far easier to be neutral about sports than politics.

I've decided to disclose the teams I am a far of to 1. explain why certain teams may get more attention than others; and 2. to let my readers know about any potential biases I might have and to let them be able to call me out on it.

With that said, here is my sports fanhood full disclosure. I am an avid fan of the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys. I consider myself a fan of the Texas Rangers but I follow baseball far less closely than basketball or football. I grew up in San Antonio which explains my affinity for the Spurs. Many people probably don't realize that San Antonio is a very strong Cowboys town as well but it the Boys have a very strong foothold on the South Texas market.

I moved to Dallas after my sophomore year of high school, which was great for my interest in the Cowboys but more difficult for me as a basketball fan as I had moved to Dallas just as the Mavericks were beginning to assert themselves as a power in the Western Conference. I remained a strong Spurs fan and my loyalty was rewarded in 2003 when I got to watch with glee as the Spurs blew through the Mavericks on the way to the title.

I moved to Houston for law school and I follow the Houston sports teams about as much as any expatriate sports fan follows his new city's teams. If the blog occasionally, gets a little Houston centric this is why.

As I said earlier, I will try not to let my rooting interests impact my judgment but that is a promise no fan can truly make...
