Chicks dig the long ball. We all love the fireworks. But nobody is connected to home runs like your Texas Rangers. I know they have 20 sacrifice bunts, 78 stolen bases and a committment to try and manufacture runs this season, but in the end – same as it ever was -…
I guess there was some drama involved, but don’t tell me you’re totally surprised that the winner of Spike TV and Michael Irvin’s 4th and Long is – ta-da! – a Michael Irvin clone. Jesse Holley has the size (6-foot-3), speed (4.5) and smile of Irvin, and now he has a…
Just received an email from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban regarding the lawsuit filed against him by former owner Ross Perot Jr. I’ve covered the Mavs during both regimes and just let me say unequivocally that in any fight – fist, financial or basketball IQ – I’m siding with Cuban. In my earlier post I…
Just as Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban is finishing his jig in the wake of beating an insider trading charge from the Securities & Exchange Commission, today comes another legal pothole. This one from the guy who sold him the Mavericks. Hillwood Center Partners, which is controlled by Ross Perot Jr., filed…
While Ian Kinsler’s bat — the first player with both a lead-off and walk-off homer in the same game — last night gave the Texas Rangers a momentary pulse, let’s talk about the future of a dominant arm down on the farm. On his blog yesterday, ESPN’s Buster Olney made…
Now that Tony Romo is done with his girlfriend, his golfing and his goofs, hopefully he can start concentrating on his gift: A new wide receiver. While I was out on vacation, the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback dumped Jessica Simpson, created a buzz with this extremely unfunny video and finished second in…
Funny, we’d just been thinking we hadn’t heard from our local Lingerie Football League franchisees in a while — especially with the ABA throwing its weight around Dallas last week — when the Dallas Desire sent an invitation out to catch the team at scrimmage Friday morning.Friday’s media day –…
The painfully modest former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver’s new reality show bows on VH1 Monday (psssst … you can watch the debut episode in its entirety right this very second, if that’s what you’re into). Which is why he was on Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC late-night show Thursday — talking, yet…
A condensed version of Richard Sandomir’s visit to Cowboys Stadium, which appears in this morning’s edition:Jerry Jones, tour guide, was showing off. Lost in the excitement of the show and tell, Jones trampled a couple of traffic cones and nearly flattened two fans walking to the $15-per-person stadium tour. He…
So, yes, Jay Bowdy and I have made peace. If you haven’t been playing along this morning, the owner of the North Texas Fresh — that’d be Fort Worth’s new entry into the American Basketball Association — called me out this morning for ugh-ing the name of the franchise. (Wonders…
Says here that on August 22 at Mountain View College, the American Basketball Association’s Dallas Generals will hold it final tryouts and a combine — seriously, the ABA returneth? Dunno how we missed it, and I’ve yet to find mention made anywhere else, but at the end of May, the…
He giveth (Jonestown Coliseum). He taketh away (Terrell Owens). Not that it’s a push, but for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it is status quo. For the third time in the list’s four-year history, the ol’ oil wildcatter has rambled and gambled his way to the top of the Dallas…
Tony Romo: Product Spokesman from Tony RomoVia Just Jared, we find this brand-new Funny or Die exclusive: Tony Romo as a pitchman for “over 50,000 products,” among ’em yarmulkes, gas that tastes like chocolate and something called a “ball-pen hammer,” sigh. In short: The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is no Peyton…
In this photo, I mean, apparently taken last night near the Key Club on Sunset Boulevard, scene of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s Metal Skool performances with Mr. Belding and Jessica Simpson, awwww…
I put a Dallas Cowboys’ source in a Happy Hour headlock last night in an attempt to – as promised – try to get a name on the new P.A. voice of Cowboys Stadium. No luck. “Just remember,” the source cautioned, “CBS owns more stations than just The Fan in this…
Didn’t hear this myself, but several P1s are telling me today that ol’ buddy George Dunham announced yesterday on The Ticket that he is no longer the public address voice of the Dallas Cowboys. Long the P.A. voice at Texas Stadium, Dunham said he was personally relieved of his duties…
On the heels of being one-hit by somebody named Chad Gaudin and losing the opener of a series in Arlington, I wondered aloud if the Texas Rangers would ever see first place in the AL West this season. Answer: Yes. Since then they have won seven of eight, including last…
Take the White Out to yesterday’s speculative depth chart and dust off Laura Miller’s old parade plans, your Dallas Mavericks just signed … drum roll … Quintin Ross! Starred at Kimball High School. Starred at SMU. Starred at Bounced around the NBA. I’ll let the Mavs trumpet his arrival: Ross…
Talked yesterday afternoon to David McDavid , he of the best odds to buy the Texas Rangers from Tom Hicks. Nothing definitive, but the auto tycoon has cooled slightly on the idea of owning our baseball team to the point where he said he is – for now – “leaning against…
I’s aren’t dotted. T’s aren’t crossed. Some negotiations aren’t finished. Others haven’t even started. But let’s assume smooth sailing and peer into the crystal basketball. With the Dallas Mavericks eyeing Shawn Marion, this could be their opening-night roster: Point Guard: Jason Kidd/ J.J. Barea Shooting Guard: Josh Howard/ Jason Terry/Antoine…
With one All-Star back in the lineup and another shoulda-been All-Star on the mound, the Texas Rangers began their crucial three-game series in Anaheim last night by promptly taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. The next time there was good news for Josh Hamilton, Kevin…
We can no longer confuse the Dallas Mavericks’ silence with inactivity. Let’s hope we never confuse Marcin Gortat with the franchise’s legacy of Great White Nopes. The Mavericks last night agreed to re-sign 36-year-old point guard Jason Kidd to a three-year, $25 million contract and inched closer to landing a new starting…
