Dear Tony Romo: WTF?!

Thanks to this video shot by our good friend Larry Rodriguez over at Fox4, we have to question not only Tony Romo’s play late in the game at Denver – but also his mind-set. You tell me, did Romo think it was third down? Was he telling the refs he had…

A Cowboys’ GM Other Than Jerry Jones? Never Ever Never.

Your Dallas Cowboys will someday get a new quarterback and will sooner rather than later be gifted with a different head coach, but Jerry Jones is and always will be the franchise’s general manager. Not surprising at all – he’s said it before, repeatedly – but today it just got punctuated. With…

Should Tony Romo Re-Shuffle His Deck?

Something’s up with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Tony Romo’s not the frolicking, free-wheeling player we fell in love with back in 2006 and ’07. These days he stays in the pocket. He sulks on the sideline. Most importantly, he sucks in the game. It’s different. And it ain’t better. It’s like…

Broncos 17, Cowgirls 10. My Top 10 Observations.

10. Fox’s Pam Oliver stinks. While she was busy reading some shallow, pre-orchestrated featurette, we went three series before learning that Gerald Sensabaugh was out with a bum thumb. And though Marion Barber played just one snap in the second half, we never received an update. 9. Not only is Kyle…

“Dirk is Clumsy on Horseback, Nash Skillful.”

A colleague in Miami thought we might find this interesting: “The Consummation of Dirk,” penned by one Jonathan Callahan. It comes from the latest issue of something called The Collagist, an online literary journal. Right. You know the drill.At first, I thought maybe it was a chopped-and-screwed variation on Jesse…

Jerry Jones Admits to Watching Porn. Sorta.

On our midday show at 105.3 The Fan, I nervously asked Jerry Jones this morning if he had, um, seen the video of two fans “christening” Cowboys Stadium last Monday night in Arlington. After joking that he had called several committee meetings to investigate the situation, Jones simply said: “Yes. …..

C’mon Mavs Fans! Let’s Make Some Noooooiiiiiissssseeeeee!!!

Let’s see, your Dallas Mavericks have a star with longer hair and a lighter mood. They have a free Fan Jam Friday night at 7 at American Airlines Center. And, lookie here, they have an opening at a key position – public address announcer. With long-time voice Humble Billy Hayes moving…

My Advice to Cowboys’ Receiver Roy Williams

Catch the ball. Shut your mouth. It’s really not that difficult. Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams is becoming a Terrell Owens starter kit, in every way. First he dropped what should have been a touchdown pass in last week’s win over Carolina. And now he’s questioning his role on the team. Oh…

A Moment of Silence for Your Texas Rangers

Okay, that’s long enough. Now, what happened? A season that began with that three-game sweep of Cleveland way back in April and held our interest until mid-September is closing with an all too familiar whimper – meaningless games in October for the 10th consecutive year. With their loss to the…

NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 3

Like the BCS, style points count. So do geeky, black-and-white stats such as touchdowns and quarterback rating. Wins and losses? Definitely. Leadership? Uh-huh. When it comes to my weekly NFL Quarterback Rankings – if I had one of those little encircled R’s to signify a trademarked idea, it’d go here – the…

Cowboys 21, Pussy Cats 7: My Top 10 Observations

10. Welcome to the NFL, Victor Butler. Mind if Anthony Spencer borrows your directions? 9. Despite playing without Marion Barber and losing Felix Jones early in the second half, the Cowboys and Tashard Choice (82 yards) rushed for 212 yards in the 14-point win. They’ve now produced consecutive 200-yard-plus rushing…

Brad Sham to Call Yom Kippur, Tony Romo

As he’s done (almost) every year since 1977, Brad Sham will tonight show up before kickoff to call a Dallas Cowboys game on radio. But Sham has never arrived quite like this. The only “Voice of the Cowboys” I ever remember will be accompanied by a police escort en route…

Royce West is Everywhere

So says former Observer’er Matt Pulle, who shares my obsession with state Senator Royce West. Pulle forwarded along a nice bit of reporting by ESPN’s Elizabeth Merrill regarding the holdout of former Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree, in which West is identified as a member of Crabtree’s “inner circle.”…

Will You Catch The Catch?

Former Dallas Morning News Cowboys beat writer Gary Myers’s new book doesn’t look like the easiest read for longtime fans of the home team: The Catch: One Play, Two Dynasties, and the Game That Changed the NFL. (And, with a foreword by Joe Montana!) Early word is good: Publishers Weekly…
