Not trips halfway around the world. Not chickenpox. Not the death penalty. And, this year, not even COVID. For 48 years and counting, SMU football fanatic Paul Layne has navigated all obstacles to attend every game played by his beloved Mustangs. He was planning to attend Saturday’s Tropical Smoothie Café…
After floating around the edges of contention during much of the 2019 season, the Texas Rangers endured a 2020 of near-historical ineptitude. The pitching was horrendous; the offense was somehow worse. Ultimately, the Rangers finished the first season in their gleaming new ballpark with the second-worst record in the league…
Ultimate Fighting Championship superstar Conor McGregor’s next fight could be at AT&T Stadium, he announced on Twitter Wednesday.

Last week, as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and Mrs. Butterworth saw their runs as racist caricatures and corporate mascots come to an end, calls began to ring out about a name closer to home. Chicago Tribune columnist and native Texan Steve Chapman started the drumbeat. It’s time, Chapman said, for…
If the Cowboys don’t take the field in 2020, it won’t be anything new for the team’s newest signing. Aldon Smith hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2015, despite being one of the best pure pass rushers to enter the league in decades. The Cowboys, as they have for…
Just like that, Travis Frederick is done as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. The five-time Pro Bowl center announced his retirement Monday afternoon at just 30 years old.

The true nightmare scenario for the Cowboys’ offseason, the one in which, somehow, Jerry Jones botches the whole thing and forces Cowboys fans to watch as Dak Prescott plays for someone else in 2020, is off the table. As absolutely everyone expected, the Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Prescott…
Things, as you’ve surely noticed, are getting weird. Thursday brought a cascade of bad news, from the critical — the U.S. still isn’t testing nearly enough people for the coronavirus — to the mundane — sports, basically all of them, are canceled for the foreseeable future. Dallas, Texas, the United…
The waiting, always the hardest part, is over for Dallas sports fans. On Thursday, YouTube TV and Sinclair Broadcasting Group, five days removed from an emergency extension that kept Fox Sports Southwest on the streaming service, agreed to a long-term contract extension.

The notices began filing into YouTube TV’s subscribers’ inboxes Thursday morning, just after, or just before, the streaming TV service sent out a preemptive tweet. “Starting February 29, 2020,” the email’s third paragraph read, “you will no longer be able to watch live, on demand, or recorded content from your…
Jason Witten isn’t ready to retire again. The legendary tight end, a year removed from his return from the Monday Night Football broadcast booth, said last week that he intends to play in 2020, regardless of whether the Cowboys want him back. Which leads us to this list. No matter…
A little before noon Wednesday, a Twitter account with fewer than 50 followers caught a viral wave and sent Cowboys fans into a panic. Amari Cooper, the team’s star free-agent wide receiver had been, according to @TOffseason, shot “in a parking garage in the Dallas area.” The tweet was bullshit…

It’s officially put up or shut up time for all of you out there who consider yourselves true, degenerate pro football fans. With Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs having put the cherry on top of the NFL’s 2020 sundae, it’s time, this weekend,…
