Tuesday Book Review -- Best D/FW Sports Arguments

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 30, 2008 3:10 PM CDT Comment 14 comments

Another book that was sent my way a while back, and that I've checked out, is Jaime Aron's "The Best Dallas/Fort Worth Sports Arguments," part of a series of books that addresses various arguments that fans of the teams in a certain city or metropolitan area can have.

It basically poses about 100 questions dealing with topics such as "Who was the better QB -- Roger Staubach or Troy Aikman," "Was Hull's goal really good?" and "Who is the best local owner -- Tom Hicks, Mark Cuban, or Jerry Jones," although with some more esoteric questions like "Who is the best center in Mavs team history?" (although the focus is more on other guys in discussing that question, since Aron finds the obvious answer to be James Donaldson).

It is light reading and designed to be a conversation starter more than a serious, sabermetric-type work, but it is a fun little item, and something that is a decent gift for the sports fan who is hard to buy for.

With some of the stuff thats gone through Dallas in the past

especially with the Cowboys, it should be an interesting read. I’m probably gonna end up getting it from Barnes and Noble

I saw the end of the press conference when I got home- Al looks like someone dug him out of his grave…

its pretty sad

Kiffin was leading that franchise back to respectability and now Al just decided to tear it down. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kiffin become someone like another ex- Raiders coach – Mike Shanahan – and win a few Super Bowls.

if you watched that team from last year

and you saw them this year, they were lightyears ahead of where they were. Plus, this can only hurt JaMarcus Russel’s development as a QB. Once again, all is not well in Raider Land.
