Slowly but surely, Big Tex is rounding up his bad-ass buddies Gotta admit, I was a little jazzed yesterday when I heard the Texas Rangers signed Maddux to help their long-suffering pitching. I mean, since 2000 the Rangers have baseball’s worst staff and biggest ERA at 5.14. Granted he’s 42…
Holy hell, he’s even worse than we thought. Giants Stadium has long been a house of horrors and horseshit for Dallas Cowboys’ quarterbacks. Hall of Famer Troy Aikman threw a career-high five interceptions in New Jersey in 2000. In ’01 backup Clint Stoerner topped that by tossing four picks in…
At the rate this Super Bowl or Bust season’s going for Your Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones has but four opportunities left to bring folks up to the owner’s suite in Texas Stadium before the joint gets bye-byed. It is, alas, a most wonderful treat for the special someones tapped to…
Is it time to see if he can save us? I’m not surprised the Cowboys got their ass kicked today. Doesn’t mean I’m not madder than Mike Singletary about a 21-point loss that felt more like 41. The dismal performance in the Meadowlands doesn’t exactly belong on this list, but…
Josh Howard and the All-Star gala were fantastic. Rest of the night? Bum-mer. Web Ed Patrick Michels has the facts and photos from last night’s big NBA 2010 All-Star Game announcement shindig. Leaves it up to me, I guess, just to fill in some blanks: *For some reason, seeing Mark…
Make-or-break year for him. And his team. Don’t believe it. The Mavericks, overnight, did not grow old and tired and shitty. Everywhere you surf entering tonight’s opener against the Houston Rockets – especially here – you hear how Dallas will be lucky to win 45ish games and lucky to make…
Debbie Downer body language. Broken pinkie. Disappointing results. The SI Jinx at work? I’d like to call out Sports Illustrated’s Peter King for turning tail on your Dallas Cowboys. Way I remember it, once upon a time King picked the Cowboys to make it to this season’s Super Bowl. (Of…
Yours for eight bucks on eBay. Mighty nice of the NBA to send out this media release moments ago regarding a 5 p.m. press conference today: WHAT: Major NBA Announcement WHO: David Stern, NBA Commissioner Mark Cuban, Owner, Dallas Mavericks Jerry Jones, Owner, Dallas Cowboys WHEN: Thursday, October 30; 5:00…
The Three J’s put on quite a show to start the ’94 season. After that, um, basically nothing. Tonight’s lid-lifter at American Airlines Center between the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets has a plethora of sub-plots that could possibly escalate into season-long themes: Rick Carlisle’s arrival. Avery Johnson’s departure. Jason…
When—not if—the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Giants in New Jersey on Sunday, the NFC East race will slip officially out of their reach. At 5-4 and trailing the defending Super Bowl champs by three games with seven to play, owner Jerry Jones will attempt to shrug it off and…
This photo comes from the Web site DallasSucks.com. I will fight you. In this week’s Sports Illustrated Peter King dissects the Dallas Cowboys’ woes, and far as he’s concerned, last week’s win over Tampa Bay was just postponing the “inevitable disappointment” that comes with realizing your Super Bowl-bound team just…
Coming Soon: Basketball’s marquee event. One of sports’ worst-kept secrets will officially be spewed forth tomorrow night, as the Mavericks’ pre-game activities before the season-opener against the Houston Rockets will include the announcement of the 2010 NBA All-Star Game being hosted by Dallas, in Arlington. Back in May, Mark Cuban…
Flat out, who deserves the most credit? Jimmy Johnson transformed the Dallas Cowboys from 1-15 laughingstock into back-to-back Super Bowl champs. Jerry Jones hired Johnson. So which one is more deserving of immortality in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Both are on the HOF’s preliminary list of 2009 inductee…
Swear, I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Lessee, “World Series game ends in a tie”? Boring. “Brad Johnson sucks”? Yawn. “Texas Tech’s Mike Leach is the greatest offensive coaching mind ever”? Heard it. Perhaps I can interest you in “Dorky sports blogger experiences the most bizarre round in…
Just in case, so you at least know what Brooks Bollinger looks like Ed Werder brings word from his super-secret sources deep within Valley Ranch — Wade Phillips, prolly — that the Cowboys coach is looking for someone, anyone, other than Brad Johnson to throw the ball against the New…
Shockingly, the Giant German didn’t play “99 Luftballons.” Since he wasn’t invited to star in the awesome new commercial featuring Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps and A-Rod, we know Dirk Nowitzki isn’t a Guitar Hero. But that didn’t stop him from taking the new video game for a spin…
Eventually, the boos turned to cheers. Those of you expecting a “Top 10 Ugliest Wins in Cowboys’ History”, sorry to disappoint. But I like your thinking. Marion Barber ran hard. The defense – led by Zach Thomas and Bradie James – played inspired. The offensive line was improved. Nick Folk…
Early last month, we broke the news that city officials were going to begin courting corporations who might be interested in buying the naming rights to the Cotton Bowl. Yesterday, the city council approved the idea, and, as expected, it’s looking for a 10-year commitment and between $5 and $10…
Snapped this at last Saturday’s Division II college game at the Cotton Bowl. Never fear, it appears larger crowds and better football are on the way. When the Cowboys move to Arlington, Dallas will move much closer to professional football. How’s that? Because, according to a couple sources I spoke…
Rick Carlisle’s in-game adjustments. And prayer. That’s what this Mavs’ season comes down to? As the Mavs head into tonight’s preseason finale, a bit more disrespect comes their way. A little more poison into which they can dip their arrows and place in their quivers for the season of retribution…
T. Boone Pickens is impressed. Are you? Curious at what $57 million will get you these days, the gazillionaire entrepreneur and Oklahoma State booster toured the reupholstered Cotton Bowl with mayor Tom Leppert last week and left thinking an annual OSU-Texas Tech football game just might fit into Dallas’ State…
Carlos Pena used to be ours. Now he’s in the World Series without us. I know, shocking huh? Your Rangers are in the Fall Classic. Not the whole team, mind you, but a couple of Texas exes. Still can’t believe we’ll be watching the Tampa Bay Rays against the Philadelphia…
