Column 467
If I were president of the American Darts Organization…
I’d go rogue.
I’d take BOLD ACTION today.

You Might be a Darts Addict if…
Okay…
You might be a redneck if you think a family reunion is a good place to pick up girls. You might be Jewish if your greatest athletic achievement was in debate. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 …

Stefan Lord tried to KILL ME!
For more than half a century, from 1927 until 1990 (with a break during the war years and a brief reappearance in 1997) the News of the World Darts Championship was the granddaddy – the “tournament every darts player wanted to win.”
