Fort Worth Weekly Interview With Nolan Ryan
Nolan Ryan doesn’t have to keep a set schedule any more, other than showing up for the occasional interview with a sports blogger. But for years, he showed legendary reliability. He pitched every fifth day into his mid-40s. As an executive, Ryan and his remarkable wife Ruth felt that if they were going to ask fans to sit in the Texas heat, they needed to be willing to do it themselves, so you could almost always find them in the front row at what is now Globe Life Park in Arlington during his tenure as Rangers team president.
Nolan Ryan is also reliable when it comes to his personality. His Texas drawl still sounds the same as it always has, as you’ll notice in this video. And he still cares about people, the way I remember him doing when I worked for Rangers under him. A lot of our conv...

Mark Henry Interviewed by the Ft. Worth Weekly
Mark Henry is one of the strongest men who ever lived. And that’s not even the most interesting thing about him.
To be sure, he built a varied and fascinating career as a strongman. He competed as a weightlifter in two Olympics, and won medals at the Pan American Games. He won multiple titles in the related field of powerlifting. He won the 2002 Arnold Strongman Classic. And for his day job, he became a World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer.
What’s fascinating to me about Mark, however, is his level of insight into his areas of interest. In addition to being a lifter, he’s a thinker. So in this interview it’s interesting to hear about how he approaches a school speaking appearance. You’ll want to see the wrestling documentary film he describes. And I was also keen to get his insigh...

Carly Patterson-Caldwell FW Weekly Interview
The city of Fort Worth has become an attractive destination for artistic gymnastics events. The municipality just hosted the National Collegiate Women's Gymnastics Championship, and yesterday the Fort Worth Sports Commission announced the city’s biggest opportunity in the sport since the Tarrant County Convention Center (as it was then known) hosted the 1979 World Gymnastics Championships. This coming June 4-7, Cowtown will host the 2020 U.S. Gymnastics Championships.

Nolan Ryan is also reliable when it comes to his personality. His Texas drawl still sounds the same as it always has, as you’ll notice in this video. And he still cares about people, the way I remember him doing when I worked for Rangers under him. A lot of our conversation off camera centered on former co-workers and what they were doing now. He truly cared about who had a baby and who had changed jobs.
I’ve never worked for his sons, who’ve run teams in Houston, Round Rock, and Corpus Christi. But I’d like to think they’ve inherited that sense of loyalty and empathy from him. If so, being a member of the Astros or Express organizations is probably a pretty good job. In this interview, I asked him about his family and what it has meant to see them have success in the sport where he achieved so much. And I also asked him about the current Rangers. It turns out he still follows them and has insight into the type of team they’re fielding.

Mark Henry is one of the strongest men who ever lived. And that’s not even the most interesting thing about him.
To be sure, he built a varied and fascinating career as a strongman. He competed as a weightlifter in two Olympics, and won medals at the Pan American Games. He won multiple titles in the related field of powerlifting. He won the 2002 Arnold Strongman Classic. And for his day job, he became a World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer.
What’s fascinating to me about Mark, however, is his level of insight into his areas of interest. In addition to being a lifter, he’s a thinker. So in this interview it’s interesting to hear about how he approaches a school speaking appearance. You’ll want to see the wrestling documentary film he describes. And I was also keen to get his insight into a sport he hasn’t played since he was a schoolboy - American football. His longtime WWE boss, Vince McMahon, is restarting the XFL and Henry has some unique takes on why it might succeed.
Mark drove to Tarrant County from his Austin-area home to work with the Tribute to Valor Foundation. He accompanied Medal of Honor recipients Leroy Petry and Gary Littrell as they addressed students. Henry had three uncles who served in the armed forces, and he has a passion for veterans’ causes. I hope the kids listened, because one would expect they could learn a lot from those three guys. And I bet they did pay attention, because I’m not sure how you could avoid it with a guy as big as Mark standing in front of the assembly.
