This is the classic MMA question. Best striker vs. best grappler. I have O'Malley by KO in round 2. One clean shot is all it takes.

The 7-8 year contracts are financial engineering, not football decisions. You are paying a 25-year-old until he is 33 regardless of whether he is good enough. That is corporate thinking, not sporting thinking.

As someone from Fort Worth: the Stockyards, Sundance Square, and the Cultural District are legitimately better than anything in Dallas fight me.

Metrocare Services is a lifeline for uninsured people. They don't turn anyone away. If you need help and can't afford it, call them.

Richardson at $390K median is probably the best value in DFW right now. DART access, diverse food scene, good schools, and cheaper than Plano/Frisco.

The "following someone to their car" predator/prey dynamic at NorthPark is a shared DFW experience that bonds us as a people.

Every photo at TopGolf is a yellow flag at minimum. You can like TopGolf AND have other interests.

The "bootcamp teaches you 20%" stat is accurate. You learn enough to get a job and then learn the rest on the job. Don't expect to walk out as a senior engineer.

Always check the reserve fund. Our HOA in McKinney had a 20% funded reserve. Two years later: $4,500 special assessment for pool renovation. Should have seen it coming.

Microchipping saved my neighbor's cat after the derecho in 2023. Cat was found 8 miles away, scanned at a shelter, and returned home.

Adding to the list: a portable power station. I got a Jackery 500 after the 2023 ice storm. Powers phones, lights, and a small fan for 2 days.

No Ethiopian? Desta on Greenville Ave deserves a mention. Injera and kitfo for $14.

Khamzat vs. DDP is the fight to make. Two pressure fighters with knockout power. That sells itself.

Cidercade is $12 for UNLIMITED arcade games and you bring your own beer. Best entertainment deal in DFW.

Fentanyl test strips being legal in Texas now is a huge deal. They were classified as drug paraphernalia before HB 1846.

The Wild Detectives in Bishop Arts is the most unique bar concept in DFW. Buying a book while drinking wine at 10pm is my ideal evening.

Cedar Hill is the best value in DFW right now. 20 min to downtown, good schools (Cedar Hill ISD is B+ on Niche), and homes under $300K still exist.

Arch Manning is the next Heisman from Texas. The hype has been building since he was 16 years old. If he starts and the Longhorns contend for the SEC title, he will be in New York in December.

Arch Manning is the most important recruit in Texas football history. If he develops, Texas has a 3-4 year window to compete for national titles with SEC-caliber talent.

Pump the brakes. It is one season. Anthony Davis was supposed to be the next great big man and injuries derailed his trajectory. Let Wembanyama stay healthy for 5 years and then we can crown him.

Texas-OU weekend at Fair Park is the most insane sporting event atmosphere in DFW. Split crowd, half orange half crimson, and everyone is eating corny dogs. America.

Use the Texas AG child support calculator before going to court. The formula is straightforward and judges rarely deviate from guidelines without strong cause.

The 48-hour window for business camera footage is real. My friend waited a week to check and the footage was already overwritten.

The pension math is what people miss. My dad retired from the City of Dallas after 30 years. He gets 80% of his final salary — $64K/year — FOR LIFE. No 401K risk.

Plano campus cafeteria food is surprisingly good. $6-8 lunches that are better than most restaurants nearby.
