From his home in Austin, Curt Kirkwood, founding member of legendary indie rock band The Meat Puppets, sounds mellow and contented, a far cry from when he was leading his band through its tumultuous days in the '80s and '90s. Even though he's getting ready to tour with a recent...
Apparently, 482 Friends of Unfair Park (not to mention our old pal, noted author Zac Crain) keep up with Mark Cuban's tweets, as earlier this morning he announced an "AMAZING" new HD scoreboard "coming this season" to an American Airlines Center near you, after which the Unfair Park inbox was...

Fort Worth's drowsiness more than a century ago led to an urban myth of sorts that a panther had wandered up from the Trinity River bottoms and was spotted sleeping on a downtown street. Even today, this carefully rebuilt and shiny place always seems to be waiting for more people...
