Dallas Desperado Tryouts

Last year in November Travis Miller suggested that I tryout for the Dallas Desperados.

We get so much more out of failure than we do [...]

Eddie Renz joins Texas Instruments’ Track Team

On Wednesday, March 5, 32 year old Eddie Renz joined the TI Track team. “I’m throwing shot put and discus, but I’d really like to train and run the 100 meter or 200 meter as well.” Renz said, albeit breathlessly, in a recent interview. This claim seemed unlikely since Renz weighs 340 pounds. However, the [...]
