Howie Reed

Astute, often controversial, and always humorous, the Old Dart Coach, Howie Reed (a former rodeo cowboy and advertising executive), is heralded as the Dean of Darts Chroniclers - the most prolific and widely followed writer ever about our sport. He goes back decades with the legends and knows where the skeletons are buried (just ask any of the ADO and WDF old-timers!). Here are four well-known facts about the Old Dart Coach: 1) he is a Republican, 2) he loves the ladies, 3) he can drink most anybody under the table, and 4) he throws darts as bad as Dartoid.

SKULLDUGGERY AFOOT?

Skullduggery depends on the eye of the beer holder.  The definitions run the gamut from “underhanded or unscrupulous” to “dishonorable behavior or proceedings” to “mean… dishonesty…  trickery.”  To some, much of this defines the American Darts Organization.

Recently, the Old Dart Coach’s amigo, Mick Smith, asked, “Why …

THEN THERE WERE EIGHT…

The stage at the Winter Gardens (Blackpool) has seen players and fans battling sweltering heat.  The fans, of course, were forced to consume aiming fluid while players were limited to H2O.  This year, the temperature has been unusually cool.  The second round of the World …
