🎙️ The Hardline Takes the Court: At Fault Hosts The Ticket’s Legendary Talk Show
Dallas sports fans were in for a treat when At Fault welcomed The Ticket’s iconic afternoon drive show, The Hardline, for a live broadcast and pickleball showdown that brought their trademark energy courtside. Known for decades as the most in-your-face talk show in DFW, hosts Corby Davidson and Matt McClearin took their banter off the airwaves and onto the pickleball court — and the crowd loved every second.
A Legendary Dallas Radio Duo Meets a New Playground
For years, The Hardline has been a staple of the Dallas-Fort Worth sports landscape, blending sharp Cowboys analysis with unfiltered personality. Bringing that energy to At Fault, the DFW’s premier pickleball + bar + restaurant concept in Farmers Branch, felt like the perfect match.
Guests packed the indoor courts to watch the live broadcast, grab a cold drink, and see Corby and Matt trade shots — not just verbal ones — under the lights.
Corby vs. Matt: A Pickleball Grudge Match
When the mics went off, the paddles came out. Corby, never one to back down, challenged Matt to a winner-take-bragging-rights pickleball duel.
The match had everything:
🔥 Trash talk worthy of a Hardline segment
🎾 Surprisingly solid dinks and drives from both hosts
😂 Crowd-pleasing banter with fans cheering every rally
Corby’s patience and placement gave him the edge in the mid-game, forcing Matt into unforced errors. In the end, Corby secured the win — and plenty of on-air material for weeks to come.
At Fault: Where Dallas Culture Meets Pickleball
Hosting The Hardline was part of At Fault’s mission to bring together Dallas sports, food, and culture in one vibrant space. With nine pickleball courts (five indoor, four outdoor), chef-driven food from John Franke, a lively bar, and regular events — from clinics to tournaments to live broadcasts — At Fault is quickly becoming the place to play, eat, and hang in North Texas.
