Myles Garrett did something dumb last week. With his Cleveland Browns moments from finishing a 21-7 win at home over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, the Arlington Martin and Texas A&M product got involved in a melee with several members of the Steelers offense. Garrett eventually ripped off quarterback…

If you spent any time on Dallas Twitter or sports Twitter this week, you couldn’t have helped running into the Mavericks’ new jerseys, images of which leaked Tuesday night. We’re sorry about that, but not so sorry that we’re not going to make you look at it a few more…

If there’s one thing all but the most fervent apologists for the Dallas Cowboys head coach can agree on, it’s that Jason Garrett cost his team the game Sunday night against Minnesota. Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb did the best they could to save Garrett from himself, but…

It’s been about a week and a half since Deadspin, the sports-adjacent piece of what used to be Gawker’s media empire, died. Deadspin.com, the website, still exists, and some Vichy-ass version of the blog is sure to take its place, but Deadspin, which had become the daily go-to for internet denizens…

Working through the Cowboys’ schedule before the season, it was difficult for anyone but the most hardened cynics to imagine the team doing any worse than 4-2 through the first six games. A trip to New Orleans to play the Saints and a home tilt against the Packers looked daunting,…

Ashton Smith, a 33-year-old champion swimmer from Fort Worth who competed in the Special Olympics World Games, has been suspended by the organization following a dispute with another athlete that exploded online.   Smith alleges she’s been the victim of abuse by another athlete that began with a racial epithet at…

Boxer Errol Spence Jr., Dallas’ unified welterweight champion, is in intensive care following a single-car accident early Thursday morning, the Dallas Police Department said. Spence, 29, is expected to survive. Spence was driving north on Riverfront Boulevard just south of Interstate 30 when he overturned his white Ferrari just before…

Let’s start by giving credit where credit’s due. For the last seven years, the Cowboys front office has performed spectacularly on draft day. The team’s 2019 roster, arguably the Cowboys’ most talented of the salary cap era, has been built almost exclusively through the draft, with the exception of Amari…

Despite July’s agitation and August’s frustration, it’s hard to imagine now, at the beginning of September, that anyone’s going to remember Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout even six months from now. Wednesday morning, just as the Cowboys began game-week preparations for the New York Giants in earnest, the team announced that it’s…

To the drumbeat of blue-balls fans tortured by a quarter-century of frustrating foreplay, and the backbeat of construction clangabang violently serenading the team’s annual state-of-the-union address, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones set the tone for the 2019 season by … pretending to be deaf. Eschewing traditional softball questions for a…

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout situation — perched in the purgatory between “Don’t worry about it” and “Hey, maybe this is going to be a thing” for most of the offseason — is officially a thing. When the Cowboys wake up Friday morning, there’s going to be nothing…

Everything about Dallas’ new XFL team is warmed over. It’s participating in a once-defunct league in a stadium — Globe Life Park — that would be defunct if not for the XFL saving it from implosion. Its coach, ballyhooed as his prospects once were, won his only college football national…

Tuesday afternoon, the message went out. The Cowboys were planning a press conference to “announce a contract extension for a current member of the team’s roster.” Sound the alarms, right? One of the team’s ongoing contract headaches was about to be solved, bringing the team a step closer to being…

Robert Quinn, the newly acquired pass rushing complement to DeMarcus Lawrence, is the latest in a long line of Dallas Cowboys to run afoul of the NFL performance-enhancing drug policy. Thursday, the league suspended Quinn, who is currently recuperating from a broken hand, for the first two games of the…

After having heard Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ interview with KTVT’s Bill Jones on Monday, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Cowboys not-so-kindly old owner might finally be getting it when it comes to the ongoing drama with running back Ezekiel Elliott. Jones, as children often do, expressed a…

A month ago, there was a legitimate question about what the Rangers should do at Major League Baseball’s July 31 trade deadline. They were solidly in contention for a playoff spot — albeit a wild card — and making fans and media alike wonder whether they’d undervalued what looked, at…

Forget Cowboys training camp in Oxnard. Forget Ezekiel Elliott’s impending holdout, Dak Prescott’s contract worries and Jason Witten’s exhumation from cold storage. Definitely don’t think about Joey Gallo’s injured hamate bone, the trade deadline or how many games in a row the Rangers need to win to get themselves back…

Rangers designated hitter, left fielder and kinda, sorta second baseman Willie Calhoun is going back to the minors, the team announced Tuesday, to make room for Hunter Pence’s return from the injured list. That’s the what. Given Calhoun’s performance since rejoining the Rangers on May 15, the why is much…

Fans of the Dallas Fuel now have more reason to anticipate the Overwatch League 2020 season. Along with a shake-up in the overall league structure, Dallas’ team in the competitive esport will host more home games and finally relocate their operations to North Texas. The Overwatch League, currently one of…

With the Cowboys still two weeks or so from reporting to training camp and the blessed release that comes with the beginning of the regular season almost two months away, 2019’s summer silly season is already in full swing. It’s going to get worse before it gets better. Monday, Pro…
