Another brick in the wall

There are names that unfortunately define Dallas-Fort Worth post-season sports.

Dwayne Wade. Baron Davis. Tim Lincecum. Jackie Smith. Martin Brodeur. Stephen Jackson. Tony Romo. Tim Duncan. The New York Yankees. Matt Cain.

Throw in George John.

No, you probably don't know him. I certainly don't. He's a defender on FC Dallas, who lost in the MLS Championship yesterday, 2-1 to Colorado.

A shot deflected off John's thigh in overtime of the game and went into his own goal. Then the Colorado player rolled on the ground for 48 hours as he milked the clock.

Gut wreching. Feel bad for John and FC Dallas even if I don't know or root for them.

We have a new name to fit into the post-season nut kick.
