Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I recently lied my way into a summit for the world's greatest minds. In that blog, we touched on some of the greatest issues facing humanity including, but not limited to, the history of toilet paper. But I also mentioned going to a seminar about politics.

My cyber security guy has always made himself available for interviews. Whenever a government agency or big corporation has a problem, I know I can call him up, and he's ready to explain the differences between a cyber attack or an internal software or hardware issue.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I am a member of the world's brain trust. As such, the greatest minds on the planet met in Fort Worth last week to solve the world's most pressing issues and also gain a greater understanding of the history that led us this far.

For years, in the interest of journalism, I participated in a celebrity hot dog eating contest at Curly's Frozen Custard in Fort Worth. Never mind that the "celebrities" were people whose names you might sort of recall hearing on the radio or reading in a newspaper byline but had never felt especially strongly about.

I often write about how we shouldn't spend so much of our free time arguing with strangers on the internet. Turns out I was wrong.

The world and Texas have now spent a few weeks getting to know each other. For instance, the Dutch have introduced themselves in the form of one of the most rockin' buses you'll see on the highway.

We've all been thinking, "If only there were a way to commercialize this international soccer tournament."

The Catholic Church and I have a rich history together. I went to Catholic school for 12 years, so I'm amazing at tying neckties recklessly while scurrying to first period and reciting prayers I may or may not completely understand.

An exciting new season of the podcast has launched (It's equally exciting on Spotify!). This week, we're discussing how the National Weather Service uses technology to keep honing in on the right areas for severe weather warnings.

Inspiration came to me, as it often does, on an airplane. I was recently at an associate's wedding in North Carolina.

I was recently visiting some family from Ohio. Looking forward to some of the perks of home like authentic local cuisine, naturally, my mom pointed out Ohio had recently celebrated the opening of its first Buc-ee's and suggested the fam head there instead.

Back during The Troubles, the PBR World Finals moved from Las Vegas to Arlington because they weren't allowed to have crowds in Nevada. They stayed in Texas because we know how to put a bull ridin' show and also have the best dirt. That recipe comes alive again starting this weekend. The Professional Bull Riders World Finals start this weekend at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth and then move on to AT&T Stadium for the championship. To celebrate, Texas mascots competed in a mechan

Twenty years ago, College Graduate Scaia was looking for a new adventure. Loyal Scaiaholics will recall the saga of this burgeoning media empire started humbly in the SuperOregon town of Hermiston. My first boss and I still keep touch. We hosted the morning show together on the iconic 1360 KOHU. He texted this week to let me know the couple who owned the station were shutting it down. Selling advertising had become more difficult as agencies moved toward digital, and they cou

We've spent a lot of time at TCU over the past 15 years, you and I. Much to the leadership's chagrin, many of these posts compare TCU to my alma mater, Ball State.

The pursuit of the best ballpark food has exploded into the most delicious arms race in decades (much more delicious than the Cuban missile crisis). Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I head to the Rangers' ballpark each year to monitor their progress at the beginning of the Major League season.

This week, ScaiPod returns to Six Flags Over Texas. Normally, they stay open all year, but this year, they took a break for about six weeks over the winter for renovations.

Now that I'm no longer bustin' my hump for the man, I've got time to focus on the important things in life. For instance, I've been able to really dig into my NCAA tournament bracket.

Open wheel racing is a sport that demands precision. An IndyCar circuit is unforgiving; even a slight deviation of your machine's wing or the fuel mixture can cost the hundredths of a second that can knock a driver from the top of the podium.

The podcast has returned from its winter slumber, coming alive with a celebration of new sports . I've been hard at work. And by "hard at work," I mean, "milling around pool halls." Right now, you're imagining hard-scrabble Scaia lurking in the darkened corner of a pool hall, a cigarette hanging from my mouth all night, just reading the room. Then when it's late, I throw down my marker when I spot a pigeon and make a few quick bucks so I can pay for my lady's perm. In this s

Arlington's Entertainment District is currently in one of its rare slow periods. Sure, we all remember the tragic return of the XFL, but February and March are the only parts of the year when there's not a pro sports league in season.
