Howe’s It Hangin’, Mr. Hockey?

Because we’re gonna start niche programming here at Unfair Park — hey, you ask for something, you’ll get it — here’s an answer to a question this sexy Friend of Unfair Park had earlier today concerning the schedule for the NHL All-Star Trading Card and Memorabilia show taking place Saturday…

Summerall in Mesquite

Is it us, or does Pat Summerall look a little like Young Elvis in this old picture? Yeah, it’s like saying, “Sinatra in Midlothian.” But, shr’nuff, one of our best peeps will spend this Friday in one of our, fine, so-so places when legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall serves as keynote…

Dirk Knows Wiki

Yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks launched a new site that looks kinda of familiar: Mavswiki.com, which does indeed look just like Wikipedia. But, then, that is the point. Team owner Mark Cuban tells Unfair Park that MavsWiki is intended “a way for fans to have more fun and connect closer to…

Romo-mending

Tony Romo will run into the comforting arms of David Letterman next week. Because Leno sucks. Rest easy Cowboys fans, your quarterback is not sitting alone in a dark room, mindlessly flicking the light switch off, on, off, on… In fact, Tony Romo is beginning his long, painful road to…

Hokey Hockey

This is how disinterested we are in hockey this season: We had no idea till Richie said so that the Stars had a female public address announcer. That’s cool. Remember waaaay back when goalie Marty Turco had it all figured out and the Dallas Stars jumped out of the gate…

Commit or Quit

Richie thinks Norv Turner might make a good head coach for Your Cowboys. Friends of Unfair Park, discuss. David Beckham is coming. Barbaro is going. And, thanks to Bill Parcells, Your Dallas Cowboys are stuck smack-dab in the middle of nowhere. Should the 65-year-old asshole (now there’s a mental image…

Peeling Back the Layers

So, we’ve received, like, a dozen e-mails at Unfair Park informing us it’s time to “get over” the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night. They wonder why we can’t just move on and write about how the Dallas Mavericks are the most awesomest team since the Chicago…

“Chuckling With Irony”

Marshall Colt, the guy who fumbled away the Big Game in North Dallas Forty, is now a sports-psychology consultant. Uh…Tony? This week’s issue of Sports Illustrated, which is out today, doesn’t merely point out the obvious (and the already pointed-out): that Tony Romo’s bobble of the field-goal snap Saturday night…

Choke Hold

Thank you, Tony Romo. For an imperfect end. To a perfect season. Sure, the quarterback/holder’s Seattle slip cost the Dallas Cowboys a late lead in last Saturday’s playoff game against the Seahawks. But that’s it, nothing more. Were you watching the game? Were you watching the last month? Even if…

No, Tony, No!

You have four days left to bid on this: a custom-made (ya think?) Tony Romo action figure, prepped and packaged so it resembles the Cowboys QB’s failed goal-line dive after the game-losing snap during Saturday night’s wild-card game. The seller comes from South Carolina, and so far 23 bidders have…

Jerry Jones: “Hey, Hey, Stop This Crap!”

Jerry Jones kinda, sorta blew up on The Ticket this morning. But he’s still in love with Tony Romo, Bill Parcells and Terrell Owens. That’s so cute. Let me start off by apologizing to the herd of elementary school kids and the wide-eyed crossing guard I scared the bezeevers out…

Parcells: Not a Giant (Well, Not That Way)

Bill Parcells says he wasn’t looking for a Giants job. Dang. We were so hopin’. I once had a helping of Irate Tuna at a Japanese restaurant; little too pink and puffy for my tastes. But Irate Tuna’s on the menu today in the New York Daily News, where the…

The Hammer Nailed It

You know who called that Florida blowout last night? The Ticket’s own Greg Williams, at right. Genius. I didn’t see it coming. Neither did you. But Greg Williams did and said so on Monday afternoon’s episode of “The Hardline” on KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket). Shr’nuff, while local media Ohio State…

The Bitterest Bill is Hard to Swallow

Bill Parcells wants to go back to New York, says sources. Fine. Let him. OK. Fine. Richie’s right. Bill Parcells is an asshole. I’ve defended the guy a little here; got nothing better to do, apparently. Actually, I felt sorry for him more than anything; that NYTimes Mag piece sure…

Let the Healing Begin

Yeah, yeah. Tony Romo muffed the field-goal hold. Whatever. The Seahawks woulda scored again anyway. And Romo still gets to wake up next to Carrie Underwood. You? An empty can of Coors Lite. Just know that it’s going to get worse before it gets better: Romo: Built in a day,…

Pimpin’ Olympians

Olympic weightlifter Cheryl Haworth has been taking meals with ex-Tom Hicks partner Charles Tate. No word if Tate’s actually on the menu. Seems Tom Hicks ain’t the only member of the Fab Four — which is to say, the buyout artists formerly known as Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst –…

Crushing Climax

How did the refs not call the Lakers’ late-game foul committed against Jason Terry last night? Oh, well. At least he didn’t fumble the ball. Rowdy West Coast fans. Banged-up home team playing without a couple starters but with a former MVP trying to lead his team back to the…

Ruh-Ro!

Unfair Park officially lays claim to this headline. Also, “Ro-No!” (Note to self: Sober up before posting to Unfair Park in the future.) –Robert Wilonsky…

Sleepless in Seattle?

You know why the Cowboys should win? Because Seattle has Pete Hunter. Remember him? No? Lucky you. I know what you’re expecting me to say. Something pessimistic yet clever, like, perhaps: Screw the anointing oil; get out the embalming fluid. Not today, Cowboys fans. The sun rose in the west,…
