In light of yesterday’s revelations that Alex Rodriguez was juicing during his MVP tenure with Your Texas Rangers, a Friend of Unfair Park remind us of A-Roid’s appearance on 60 Minutes at the end of ’07, when he repeatedly told Katie Couric he’d never enhanced. Below, one video highlight among…
Friend of Unfair Park Peterk directs our attention today to this called-for boycott of Dallas-based Blockbuster, which is distributing voodoo dolls in Mexico City in advance of Wednesday’s World Cup showdown pitting the U.S. Men’s National Team against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio. Originally, Fort Worth-based Radio Shack had the deal…
I suggested back in December that you peek at Danny Bollinger’s blog every so often — never know who might make a cameo. Bollinger took this photo of Mark Cuban and Tiger Woods on Monday, right before the Mavs beat the Magic at Amway Arena. But, seriously, they’d never met…
The Playmaker. Searching for the next star. If your dream is to join an organization that: *Hasn’t been anywhere near the top of its industry in 13 years. *Has a CEO who runs off management by forcing them to punch a time clock. *Enjoys all the image of Cell Block…
Look, I love Lucille Hester “as my big sister”, but this thing’s gone too far for too long. With new discrepancies in her story cropping up on the hour every hour, if I’m in her corner I throw in the white towel. Watching a sweet, old forgetful/manipulative lady get bludgeoned is never pretty…
Dan Reeves – who played for and coached for and still bleeds for the Dallas Cowboys – soured on the inner workings of Valley Ranch in 48 hours. Question: What took him so long? Reeves, remember, turned down the offensive coordinator’s gig with the San Francisco 49ers to serve as a consultant to…
Reports out of Canada this week have Sean Avery back on the ice by next week, around the same time he wraps up his stint in the NHL and NHLPA’s Behavioral Modification program. But Dallas Stars manager of hockey administration Mark Janko tells Unfair Park this morning that Sean Avery…
If Jones—the enduring face of the franchise—can’t embrace the Super Bowl, he’ll settle for embracing the spotlight. In the locker room following his team’s abhorrent 44-6 season-ending loss to the Philadelphia Eagles back on December 28, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones promised abrupt philosophical and tangible changes. Though stubbornly retaining…
His health in question, Terry Glenn is out of football. His personal life in turmoil, Terry Glenn is out of jail. For now. According to Irving police, Glenn, the Dallas Cowboys’ leading receiver in 2005 and an integral part of their 2006 playoff team, was arrested at a hotel last…
Wanna do something really dangerous today? BASE jump. Try to steal the Valentine’s chocolate from Jessica Simpson. Or, if you’re really feeling frisky, buy some stock in 18-year-old boys. At best, it’s a risky proposition. Today is National Signing Day (the first day high-school players can make their oral committments…
The Bob Hayes Foundation web site – owned and operated by one Lucille W. Hester out of Washington, D.C. – was abruptly shut down this afternoon. Maybe this is nothing. Maybe they didn’t pay their bill at the first of the month. Maybe it’s a computer glitch. Maybe the Bob…
Steelers 27, Cardinals 23: Best Super Bowl ever? Santonio Holmes’ tip-toe TD: Best Super Bowl catch ever? The Boss: Best Super Bowl halftime show ever? Better late than never, I’ve got XLIII thoughts about Super Bowl 43: 43. Gotta make it snappy. My free Grand Slam at Denny’s is calling. 42. If…
Toldja Michael Phelps wasn’t perfect. Well, didn’t I? Actually, I warned that he was overrated. But still. In other news, Richie Whitt = Jeff Spicoli as well. …
As Bob Hayes’ entangled family tree goes under the microscope and as the newspaper that for years has thrust Lucille Hester out front finally joins the investigation into the validity of her branch, one thing – and one thing only – has become clear: The world’s fastest human is quickly turning over…
Be patient, as this page, forwarded along by Friend of Unfair Park PeterK, may take a while to load. But it’s totally worth it, especially if, on this post-Super Bowl Monday, you’re looking to own your very own Vince Lombardi Trophy. Actually, claims Championship Rings, this trophy belonged to former…
Or, as the old Florida A&M college buddy and former business manager of newly minted Pro Football Hall of Fame member Bob Hayes says of Lucille Hester: “She’s a fake. A total perpetrator. She’s hoodwinked the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL, the Hall of Fame and the national media. But she isn’t…
Tonight, somewhere in Texas, a Dallas Cowboys super-fan will return to home and mount a piece of signage above his family’s fireplace. Maybe a naked section of wall space will already be waiting. “We Stop Selling Beer at The End of the 3rd QUARTER!,” the black and red letters say…
Yep, there goes the Dallas Cowboys star off the Texas Stadium 50-yard line. That happened just a few hours ago, on this first day for online auction winners to pick up their treasures.More coming soon from Intern Kelly on the scene in Irving, now that the entire stadium has turned…
You know those pigs that were raised by dogs so when they grew up they thought they were, well, dogs? Pacman Jones is a pig. I’ve been promised visual photographic evidence by my Sportatorium spies at some point, but for now we’ll go with eyewitness acounts from those who attended Dallas Cowboys’ safety Ken Hamlin’s…
Sorry I’m a little late this morning. Been glued to one of the greatest, longest tennis matches ever. The Fernando Verdasco-Rafael Nadal Australian Open semifinal that started at 2:30 a.m. our time just ended. In other news … Devin Harris is an NBA All-Star. Jason Kidd isn’t. Ouch. For Dallas Mavericks’…
Among the Dallas Cowboys’ many problems, let’s address this one this afternoon: Terrell Owens and Greg Ellis are captains. Let that sink in a second while I remind you that any team that annoints me-first guys as locker-room leaders is fatally flawed. We all know T.O.’s agenda. Now, Ellis is…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Your Texas Rangers have pitching problems. If you’re scoring at home, that’s two similar season-ending surgeries in one week. After top prospect and rotation candidate Eric Hurley underwent rotator cuff surgery last week, semi-reliable set-up man Joaquin Benoit had the same procedure…
