You might be interested to learn that tomorrow I will co-host the Mavericks post-game show with TXA21’s Gina Miller. Gina is inviting a series of notable locals to broadcast with her throughout the season. So why’d she ask me? I think because she figured I was the only sucker who’d agree, on Thanksgiving Eve, to drive out to TXA21’s broadcast studio in Fort Worth and hang around till 11 o’clock or so. Also, I know tons about sports.
But here’s the thing. I could still use some helpful sports points. The most insightful — and by “insightful,” I mean “funny” — sports point offered up in the comments section will get uttered on air by yours truly tomorrow night. You might want to follow Gina and me on Twitter, too.

Dirk Nowitzki served in the German army from September 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998. His stint in the army kept him from playing basketball at Villanova and also destroyed his desire to shave his head for the next 12 years.
If this is a post-game show, won’t you be analyzing the Mavs-Thunder game that hasn’t yet happened?
Always good to plan ahead, but this just seems excessive.
Just in case, though, try some of these:
“That Kevin Durant, he played for the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns.”
“Dirk’s hair was long for a while. Who did he think he was, NFL quarterback Tom Brady?”
“How about former Dallas Mavericks center Erick Dampier going to the Miami Heat? Remember those 2006 finals against the Heat? I guess it’s like they say, if you can’t beat them, join them. Over the course of the entire six-game series, Dampier had 22 fouls and 34 points. He’s the Missing Link!”
“Zac Crain should really be up here, not me. He’s the true ManiAAC.”
“I hear that Wade Phillips’ record is better than Tom Landry’s.”
don’t care but please use the term sweater hams liberally.
Also, Can you grow a moustache by tonight?
Did you hear the news? Erick Dampier is reportedly taking his lack of talents to South Beach.
b-ball could stand for “Butterball”… Go Hawks!
I’d mention that Shawn Marion leads all active NBA players in minutes spent poolside with you.
@PT: I like where your head is at.
Yes, it’s on record. Marion and I have Finfrocked on occasion.

But seriously, I have to ask: Why is Zac Crain not doing this?
Thanks for believing in me, Hein, but trust me: Tim is the better choice. For one thing, he has broadcast experience. On a radio show no one ever listened to, but still. For another, he doesn’t look like a werewolf. And for yet another, he doesn’t have a habit of mumbling nonsensical “jokes” under his breath.
Also, there’s a better than good chance he will do something that we will all be able to mock for now until forever.
Here’s what I OUGHT to do: have Zac under the broadcast table, whispering sports points to me while I broadcast.
Zac? Up for it?
Uh, Tim – you do know that you don’t have to put a man under the table, right?
IFB in your ear. Zac in the booth. Problem solved.
Zac is already firmly planted under the table. He’s been there all along.
Tim, you’ll find that and more out tonight!
