Apologies for the delay -- I've been covering football (blasphemy!)

While I'm shocked there hasn't been widespread rioting in the streets over the recent lack of texasnba.com content, I have no doubt many of you find the days a little less sunny without a Mavs/Spurs/Rockets-related rant.

Why the delay? Well, I was tapped to cover the East-West Shrine Game, a college football all-star game in San Antonio, for a few football sites. If you're a football fan, check out my first article. It's also posted on sportsoutlaw.com and a few other sites. Apparently Sigmund Bloom and I are one of only 2 groups covering the Shrine Game practices. The other is a paid scouting service some teams use. We're big-time, baby.
