Rangers 7, A’s 2: My Top 10 Observer-ations

10. Only thing funnier than Oakland trusting Rich Harden is Comedy Central’s Tosh.0. 9. Michael Young countdown to 3,000 hits is at 953 … 952 … 951. 25 3-hit games most ever by a Ranger in a single season and the guy most of us thought wouldn’t be a Ranger…

Will This Conference Clustereff Be Good for College Football?

It’s not a matter of if, but merely when. The Big 12 is kaput. When the Board of Regents at OU and Texas yesterday empowered their respective school presidents (David Boren and Williams Powers) to explore new conference affiliations, it officially signaled the beginning of the end for the Irving-based…

The Real Rangers’ Race is in Detroit, Not Anaheim

Nothing like a good baseball pennant race. Too bad this year there ain’t one. No divisional “race” is closer than 5 games in the season’s last week and even the Wild Card is producing nothing more dramatic than a two-game edge. With another Angels’ loss Monday the Rangers inched closer…

Tony Romo’s Top 5 Performances

Jerry Jones said he was “outstanding” despite last week’s loss to the Jets. Sunday afternoon in San Francisco the owner almost shed a tear in talking about the quarterback’s gutsy performance in a 27-24 overtime victory over the 49ers. It’s already been a controversial, mesmerizing, fluctuating season for Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo. And…

Cowboys 27, 49ers 24 (OT): My Top 10 Observer-ations

10. Like me, were you scared to death that Jesse Holley was going to fumble while holding the ball up in premature exclamation at the end of his 77-yard overtime catch? 9. Rob Ryan may be a defensive genius, but it doesn’t show when he has Anthony Spencer trying to cover tight…

Josh Hamilton Floored by His $500,000 Homer

  Rangers pound out another 12 hits. Rangers score another nine runs. Rangers win again. Lead in the AL West remains three games. Magic number shrinks to 11. Rangers are 21 games over .500 for the first time since 1999. Not that good great baseball is boring, but the West…

Tony Romo Just Can’t Help Himself

Tony Romo is a strip club at last call. And this time isn’t like all those other nights, when 2 a.m. rolled around, the lights came on and no matter all the personal conversations and business transactions being forged, the girls vanished, and you were ushered out shoulder-to-slumped-shoulder with the…

TV Ratings: Rangers + Mavericks + Stars < Cowboys

I run a buffet here. Not every customer will like everything I put out, but hopefully most will find a little something to keep them coming back. I get this complaint frequently: “Why don’t you write more about the Rangers? They’re winning!” (Beat the Indians last night. AL West lead still at…

Fine, You Wanna “Trade Tony Romo”! Um, For Whom, Exactly?

In the wake of his infuriating, game-losing Texas two-stub Sunday night in New York, Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo is in the middle of a familiar tug-o’-war. In this corner: Supporters who claim he’s an elite player who simply, spectacularly goofed up trying to aggressively make plays to seal the upset win for…

Moneyball My Ass. The Oakland A’s are Flat-Out Embarrassing.

The much-anticipated movie Moneyball opens in theaters next week. Perhaps the Oakland A’s should insert Brad Pitt into their give-a-shit lineup, because he can’t be any worse than what they’re currently trotting out there. Didn’t see a lot of Texas 8, Oakland 1 Sunday because I was fixated on Jets…

Jets 27, Cowboys 24: My Top 10 Observer-ations

10. Tony Romo negated some great throws — you’ll never see a prettier pass than the 64-yarder to Jason Witten — with some bone-headed plays. His interception to Darrelle Revis should’ve never been thrown and how was everyone except the quarterback ready for the snap with :08 remaining? And I understand he thinks football is…
