Dirk Nowitzki On the, Um, Rebound? Good For Him

Not real sure about The Dirty. Who is this “Nik”? What is a “Shim”? Isn’t it a little way late to boast yourself as “the world’s first ever reality blogger”? Whatever. The site has some interesting pics. Don’tcha think so, Cristal?…

Are They Real or Fake?

When it comes to your Texas Rangers, we’re about to find out. Starting tonight at Yankee Stadium, the Rangers play their next 13 games against baseball’s best teams – New York, the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. Each of those teams is at least five games above…

The Top 10 All-Time Dallas Cowboys

From time to time I’ve been known  to construct a Top 10 list. But this one, I’ve got to tear apart. You’re telling me there’s a list of the Top 10 All-Time greatest Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones isn’t on it? Altogether now: Bull. Shit. If NFL Network is merely…

Who Wants Free Baseball?!

Two words sure to get the month off to a yip-uh-dee-doo-dah start: Free. Tickets. I have in my slimy lil’ hands four (4) tickets to any Grand Prairie AirHogs game this week. They host the hated Fort Worth Cats Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and, if I’m not mistaken, Saturday is Fireworks…

Dallas Stars Downsize, Upgrade?

Since two girlfriends = one problem, the Dallas Stars have abruptly ended their dual general managers experiement. Out: Brett Hull/Les Jackson. In: Joe Nieuwendyk. Strange as it is to be talking hockey in June – unless, of course, you live in Detroit – the fact that owner Tom Hicks tried a…

Behold, Jonestown Coliseum!

The Cowboys unveiled their humongous new home in Arlington this week, with owner Jerry Jones delivering a keynote address about how the $1.15 billion stadium is a sign for struggling Americans that times will get better.Not sure how much of that stadium cost was invested in pyrotechnics, skydivers or marching…

BREAKING NEWS: David McDavid Interested in Texas Rangers

I’ve hinted at this name a couple of times in the wake of Tom Hicks defaulting on a loan, selling Mesquite Rodeo and generally looking for a bailout. But now let’s blurt it out unequivocally: David McDavid is interested in buying controlling interest of the Texas Rangers. “I have the ability and I have…

Mayor Tom Leppert Takes a Summer Stroll on Arlington’s Big Day

More scenes from yesterday’s Cowboys Stadium ribbon-cutting, including this debonair turn by Mayor TomLeppert, who cruised the VIP section — you know, around Arlington mayor Robert Cluck’s front-row seat — before moseying to the back of the crowd.Not sure if party guru Steve Kemble was behind this over-the-top affair, but…

Lord Byron’s Swingers Party

Sure the field isn’t as strong as this week’s Colonial and its reputation in PGA Tour circles is crumbling, but from what I witnessed last week the HP Byron Nelson Classic is alive, well and oblivious to any economic downturn or reluctance to party hearty. Thanks to The Pavilion, of course…

Cowboys’ Benefit for Rich Behm Isn’t a Slam Dunk

I’m all for lending a helping hand to paralyzed Dallas Cowboys’ scouting staffer Rich Behm. Pemieres. Galas. Fundraisers. Auctions. Columns. You name it. But I dunno, something about putting Tony Romo’s health at risk just doesn’t sit right. Tonight at 7 at Hebron High School a team of old Cowboys will play a…

Are You Smart Enough to Be a Cowboys’ Cheerleader?

If you’re a loyal Sportatorium reader, chances are you aren’t hot enough to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. (But who knows, send me a photo and I’ll be the judge.) But I bet some of you aren’t even smart enough. Surprise, it’s not as easy as it looks. (Check out…

Ellis Short Goes Down Sunderland

A Friend of Unfair Park wants to make sure we know that Ellis Short — co-founder of Dallas-based Lone Star Funds, and a bigwig at locally based asset management company Kitano Capital — is no longer partial owner of the Premier League’s Sunderland club (otherwise known as The Black Cats)…

Good Riddance, Greg Ellis

In the end, soon-to-be former Dallas Cowboy Greg Ellis is so much Michael Finley and Michael Young: A great leader and good player buried in a shitty era. Except that – with his annual bitching about this or that – Ellis may have tarnished his ultimate legacy. Considering the 33-year-old…

Chris Davis: Feast or Famine

Now playing first base for your Texas Rangers … Ryan Howard. Okay, would you settle for Rob Deer? Chris Davis continued his amazingly dichotomous season last night with two home runs and, you guessed it, two more strikeouts. Dr. Jeykll: Davis leads the Rangers with 12 homers. Mr. Hyde: Davis leads…

Pacman Reaches a New Level of Pathetic

In news that should shock no one, Pacman Jones is a little punk. Still. As if we needed a reminder, the former Cowboy showed up on Spike TV’s Pros vs. Joes last week and absolutely embarrassed himself. I know the show encourages players to enhance their personality and engage in…

Dallas Cowboys Show Off Their Big New TV

Jerry Jones invited his friends in the media out to the Cowboys’ new digs in Arlington yesterday, to show off the enormous new video board that’ll hang 90 feet over the field (just 90 feet!).On the way out to check out the screen, we got to snap some photos inside…

SMU’s Good For “Three to Five Wins” in ’09

A bit of a sportsy morning, sure, but it’s hard to resist pointing out this lengthy New York Times sneak peek at Your SMU Mustangs, which are ranked No. 102 on The Quad blog’s countdown to the top college team in the country pre-season. Last year, The Quad aimed a…
