Blazer's Edge

Rebecca Lawson is the Editor-in-Chief of Mavs Moneyball, the SB Nation site covering the Dallas Mavericks. She joined the Women's Hoops And Talks (WHAT) Podcast to talk about a variety of topics including the Mavericks 2011 Championship team, what it is like to cover Dirk Nowitzki, and how to keep everyone’s interest when the team is tanking.   Then we talked about the harassment charges against the Dallas front office and writer Earl Sneed, as reported in Sports Illustrated. How did these allegations appear to impact the players, how did she decide if she would still be a fan, and how did she choose to cover the team and follow the developing story during this time? Finally, Rebecca has some fun stories about covering the team including breaking news that Monte Ellis’s son had won the Dance Cam contest and what it was like to be face-to-face with a frustrated Mark Cuban right after a bad Dallas loss.  Check out the WHAT Podcast to hear Rebecca’s interesting stories and insight about covering an NBA team and
