I grew up reading Tank McNamara. In accordance, I grew up believing sports cartoon strips were ridiculously unfunny. Lo and behold, today we get an early Christmas present. My ol’ buddy Mike Fisher over at DallasBasketball.com just crafted this beauty. It’s local. It’s clever. It’s topical. And it’s funny. Gotta be…
He just can’t be. Can he? I was in the fifth row at American Airlines Center Saturday night and I still don’t believe what I saw. Or heard. Either Criss Angel is playing some mind trick on me, or J.J. Barea may actually be an NBA player. Barea, all 5-foot-10ish, made…
So, you jazzed about the old Cotton Bowl’s final matchup? The Only Team To Beat Florida vs. The Only Team To Beat Texas. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m intrigued by Mississippi vs. Texas Tech…
How do you explain Tony Romo’s worst game as a Dallas Cowboy? A) Cold, windy, atrocious throwing weather. B) Absence of his pinkie splint. C) Steelers’ No. 1-ranked defense. D) The Jessica Jinx. In yesterday’s excruciating 20-13 loss in Pittsburgh, Romo was down right putrid. He looked like a kid…
On a day when Wade Phillips looked like George Costanza stuffed in his Gortex coat and on a day when Tony Romo looked like Brad Johnson draped in his four turnovers, the Dallas Cowboys still looked like a playoff team. Until the final 12 minutes, that is. On a brutally…
By now, you’re no doubt aware that Sean Avery — the Dallas Stars’ filthy fourths, following his stints with Detroit, Los Angeles and New York — got popped for a six-game suspension with some anger-management classes thrown in to boot. Says National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman in an NHL.com…
Vern Lundquist: ” … caught! … Touchdown!! … DROPPED!!!” With Cowboys-Steelers always comes Jackie Smith.We’ll never forget. Are we ready to forgive? – Richie Whitt…
This just in: The wimpy, senstive, ridiculous, irrelevant National Hockey League has suspended Dallas Stars’ winger Sean Avery six games for telling the truth. Do you think the punishment fits the crime? Do you give a damn? – Richie Whitt…
Not saying Sean Avery isn’t an asshole. Or a horrible teammate. Or, for that matter, a room-wrecker the Dallas Stars should consider dumping.I’m just saying he shouldn’t have been suspended – or worse, pending this afternoon’s meeting with NHL poobah Gary Bettman in New York – merely for his “sloppy…
I hear we’ve matriculated from MySpace to Facebook, right?Well, screw me. I never got around to creating a MySpace page. Was reminded why today.Don’t tell the teens and the ‘tweens – or my wife – but something about the whole deal strikes as, um, ridiculously fraudulent.Like, for example, the fact…
You can no longer get your boots at Western Warehouse. Mark Cuban is actually being pursued by a creditor. Oklahoma won a college football beauty contest over Texas. And there is a black man in the White House. Our city—our world—is incredibly inverted. To which the Dallas Cowboys say, rubbing…
This just in from Sean Avery, via his L.A.-based publicist, concerning the comments that got him indefinitely banned, at least till his meeting with National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman tomorrow:”I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary. I should not have…
I’ve been rough on the Mavs’ J.J. Barea.For being no taller than me. For looking like the runner-up in the Minyard ball boy contest.And for being the miniature version of Shawn Bradley. As in, you can’t take any team seriously that gives him quality minutes.But lookie here, the little fella…
Below, as you can see, we’ve added the video containing the, um, sloppy remarks for which Dallas Star Sean Avery received his indefinite suspension last night from National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman. Meanwhile, back in New York, Newsday’s Arthur Staples is among those calling out the commish and Stars…
“Sloppy seconds”? That’s all he said? You’re shitting me, right?I could’ve sworn Sean Avery played professional hockey, not pre-school hopscotch.Avery, signed by the Dallas Stars to be a well-dressed, sharp-tongued agitator, was suspended indefinitely by the NHL last night for daring to utter a phrase you can hear on Jon…
Sean Avery, for a long while we thought your boorishwacky antics were adorable! Alas, turns out that the National Hockey League isn’t so enamored — because, moments ago, the league indefinitely suspended the Dallas Star for referring to a former flame, Old School co-star Elisha Cuthbert, as his “sloppy seconds.”…
Was catching up on some NBA last week and could’ve sworn I saw: *Jason Kidd make two crucial 3-pointers in the final minutes of a Mavs’ win over the Pacers. *Devin Harris swish a late triple to force overtime of a Nets’ win in Sacramento, a couple nights before…
Texas Motor Speedway announced today it’s ditching some 21,022 seats on the backstretch, which’ll put the track’s total number of butts allowed at right around 138,000. ESPN says it’s because of “the economic recession that has affected most tracks which play host to NASCAR events.” But TMS president Eddie Gossage…
The Dallas Cowboys have already sold 85 percent of the tickets to their new stadium in Arlington. Go ahead, act surprised. But, deep down, did you really think Jerry Jones would have trouble selling out his new Jonestown Coliseum? I didn’t. I went to Circuit City last week…
*Cowboys 34, Seahawks 9. Toldja. *Isn’t it great to have a quarterback who makes plays when plays aren’t there to be made? I’m thankful, Tony Romo. Very thankful. *Turkey sure was good, but the digestion process and my blowout-induced nap was uncomfortably disrupted by Marion Barber’s right foot and…
Don’t look now, but we suck. There are 120 major college football teams. Only two enter this final Saturday of the regular season with just one win. Grab a barf bag, the autopsies on SMU and North Texas get even more gruesome. As if matching 1-10 records weren’t enough to…
I could get my premature Scrooge on and predict that Pacman Jones showing up at last night’s Mavericks-Pacers game is a precursor to him – surprise! – eschewing voluntary house arrest to ultimately find more trouble. But I won’t do that. Not today. On Thanksgiving eve let’s just be…
