Roy Williams, a Pro Bowler? Horse hockey. You might say. I don’t trust Roy Williams. But I do trust Dave Campo. And Campo, the former Cowboys’ head coach who’s back as the team’s secondary coach, says we’ll see the “old Roy Williams” again this year. “From watching film of him…
Not even a clever caption can negate the putrid aspects of my photography. Whew. Pro Bowl pass rusher DeMarcus Ware left practice early this morning, but it looked like nothing serious. He either tweaked his back or took a blow to the head during full-pads scrimmage. But he walked off…
Now, this is a Dirk Nowitzki jersey I’d like to own. And it’s only $44.95. Looks like the Associated Press has picked up on the petition calling for Dirk Nowitzki to become “Fahnenträger für die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Peking.” Thus far, some 3,864 folks have signed the thing, demanding…
Your Texas Rangers’ pitching staff and its major-league worst 5.26 ERA continued to prove last night that it rarely has the ability to keep opposing lineups in check, even when the opponent is the worst team in the American League. But the offense continued to do its part, helping Texas…
Better than Brad Johnson, spleen or no. In news that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported earlier this month and the St. Petersburg Times touched on again yesterday, the Cowboys are seriously considering a trade for former University of Texas and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms. A source…
Who showed up and instantly started haunting my Super Bowl dreams? One guess. The news-making earthquake turned out to be little more than a casual Texas thunderstorm. After a brief “drop, duck and cover”, this is what I survived to see on Tuesday afternoon: *Cornerback Terence Newman’s strained groin will…
Kenny Cooper — or, perhaps, Upright Citizens Brigade’s Ian Roberts? Hoops fans, rejoice. This afternoon FC Dallas announced that star forward Kenny Cooper isn’t going anywhere, at least not this season. Here’s what FC Dallas general manager Michael Hitchcock has to say on the subject: “We received offers from multiple…
Terence Newman has a groin injury. I have a really crappy camera. I’ve received lots of suggestions on what you guys wanna know about Cowboys’ camp – How’s Felix Jones look? Can Zach Thomas still play? What’s up with Jerry’s hat? – so the best way to attack this thing…
Relax, both coaches could be talking to Tony Romo again next season. I’ll serve up a smorgasbord of training camp insights later this morning, but wanted to get to the news of the day first. Contrary to the asinine sentiments of some columnists, this isn’t guaranteed to be Wade Phillips’…
Yeah, but can she make up for miles and miles of ugly? So I’m driving to visit my cousin in a Fort Worth hospital yesterday morning when all the sudden it hits me: Hang your head in shame, Tom Landry. Hang your head. Because, don’t look now – no, really,…
Kenny Cooper Yesterday, FC Dallas forward Kenny Cooper scored two goals in two minutes on his way to embarrassing the David Beckham-led L.A. Galaxy 4-0 in Frisco. Today comes word that Cooper, a beloved native son, may have played his last game for the Hoops. Really, you can’t blame him…
Courtesy Deadspin — which got it from here, which got it from here — a reason to watch local television after all: Adam Jones and Deion Sanders’ Drivers Select ad, which, notes Deadspin’s Clay Travis, features “the most persuasive opening to a commercial in the history of television.” Which is?…
Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Rick Telander exchanged a few e-mails yesterday with Mark Cuban, one of three finalists still in the running to acquire, for more than $1 billion, both the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. Cuban wouldn’t tell Telander how much he thinks the Cubbies are worth — the…
Nice Associated Press story this afternoon about Nocona Athletic Goods Company and its damn-right resurrection, following the July 18, 2006, fire that destroyed the then-80-year-old manufacturer of the best danged baseball gloves in the U.S.A., located about 100 miles northwest of Dallas. While Rawlings and Wilson do most of their…
FC Dallas’s Dax McCarty A couple of sports notes this morning. First, out of Arizona comes word that the Cardinals are going to “Protect the Nest” this season by keeping Dallas Cowboys fans outta University of Phoenix Stadium. That is, if Cowboys fans — who, historically, fill up Arizona games…
Be the first on your block to wear Dirk’s Olympic jersey. All it’ll cost you is $79.95. Maybe it was the Tim MacMahon bump, but the sixth most-popular online petition in the entire world — at least at Petition Online — is the one containing the words “Dirk Nowitzki.” As…
Super Bowl. Or bust. If the Dallas Cowboys don’t win the NFL championship February 1 in Tampa, it will be a devastating disappointment impossible to ignore. If they don’t at least make it to the title game, it will be an unmitigated disaster improbable to restore. Anything less and Wade…
After the jump, Chris Bosh’s video adios to his hometown as he leaves for Las Vegas on his way to Beijing, where the Toronto Raptor forward will play for Team USA along with the likes of Jason Kidd, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. The…
Because he knows that, sooner or later, the fun won’t be there for having. From Yahoo! Sports comes Michael Silver’s exclusive chitchat with the Cowboys’ QB, who, like, seriously doesn’t get why people are so damned interested in him: “No one’s going to remember me five or seven years from…
Till this morning I didn’t know what a Wigald Boning was — something to do with fish, maybe? Or a sexual position? Nope, turns out he’s “a German comedian, musician, TV-moderator and journalist,” or everything I wish I were. Only, I prefer his translated Wikipedia bio (“outer trademarks are glasses…
This picture is not from north Texas. Hard to fathom with our temps again flirting with triple digits, but over at the British Open at Royal Birkdale in Lancanshire, England it looks like December. It’s in the ‘50s with rain, 40 mph wind, guys hitting 9-iron from 205 yards and,…
Weird little story circulating in the nether regions of the Interwebs concerning well-known (almost legendary, matter of fact) con man Fred Brito and his claim that, yesterday, he became the “owner of Troy Aikman’s 1993 Super Bowl Dallas Cowboy’s Championship Ring.” The folks over at The Landry Hat, a Dallas…
