So, Mike Sherman’s the new coach down at Texas A&M. Sure, fine, whatever. This morning’s Houston Chronicle has the potentially bigger story concerning the Aggies, at least as far as most locals sans Aggie ties are concerned: Sunday’s Dallas Morning News story that reported A&M and Arkansas are “close to…
The Ice Bowl, about which you might hear one or two things over the next week Go ahead, be thankful. The Dallas Cowboys ripped the New York Jets to improve to 10-1 for the first time in the franchise history. Even better, they jumped to a 21-0 lead to prevent…
The Hardline has never been sane. After this, it may never be the same. On Friday, October 12, the most popular sports talk radio show in the history of Dallas prepared for a routine remote broadcast at Addison’s Blackfin Pub. KTCK-1310 AM The Ticket afternoon co-host Mike Rhyner arrived on…
UT-Arlington UT-Arlington guard Cardell Hunter, a sophomore playing, well, like a junior, at least Though it would make total sense, this isn’t a writers-strike retread posting from the days of Snake LeGrand, Bill Blakely and peach baskets. Believe it or not, it’s true: UT-Arlington will host North Texas tonight at…
Far as I know, there’s no ESPN the Magazine cover curse. Hell, far as I knew till a couple of minutes ago, there was no ESPN the Magazine — gave it up a while back, after my five-year free subscription finally ran out. But in a few days, three of…
Charles Hatley, world champ Oak Cliff’s Charlie Hatley may not be headed to the Olympics, but he now has another title to add to his resume: world champion. Over the weekend, Hatley won the Golden Gloves World Championship, and he couldn’t have done it in more impressive fashion. He knocked…
I won’t pretend to know whether this is The Real Deal, but an eBay’er with much positive feedback is selling — for the low, low price of $2,000, so far — what he says is a football signed by the entirety of the 1967 Dallas Cowboys roster. Which means, yes,…
Looks like you are paying for the new Cowboys stadium after all. If you’re a Dallas Cowboys season-ticket holder, you’ll soon be getting in the mail a silver envelope, the contents of which will be seat pricing for the new stadium. Warning: Before opening, please sit down. Got my grubby…
Exactly a month ago we mentioned how the folks who owned the domain name Cowboys.com thought they’d sold the moniker to the Dallas Cowboys — only, not so much, as Jerry Jones’ team wasn’t about to fork over $275,000 for the domain name. Especially not when the Cowboys thought they’d…
Ever wonder how many QBs have thrown at least one regular-season pass for Your Dallas Cowboys? The answer’s 33 — though, sure, you already knew that. And I have no doubt you can name ’em all. If not, “phishon99” has posted to the YouTubes a tribute to the entire squadron…
Anybody else out of popcorn? As instructed, I had mine ready. But after yet another amazing, dominating, downright delicious performance by the Cowboys receiver, looks like we’re gonna need another bucket. This is getting good. Shocking us all by continuing his high-production, low-drama season, T.O. scored all four of the…
You think when Tony Romo was at Eastern Illinois, he thought he’d wind up in People or the Post every other week? Tony Romo’s dating an older woman from New York who’s got her own dough, thank you very much, and who used to be Derek Jeter’s gal pal not…
Not only is Jason Witten’s wife Michelle an E.R. nurse, but she also has 20/16 vision in both eyes. Scattershooting while wondering what ever happened to legendary, old-school press like Bud Shrake, Dan Jenkins and, of course, Blackie Sherrod. Cool, they’re right here. Hold a sec while I find my…
Dear Norm Sonju, Please don’t read this column. Trust me, you don’t wanna know. As a founding father and general manager of the Dallas Mavericks through the mid-1990s, Sonju was, um, a tad conservative. He once, for example, required Reunion Arena employees to take a safety course detailing how to…
As Richie mentioned yesterday, Terrell Owens signed copies of his epic tome Little T Learns to Share yesterday out at the Dallas Cowboys Pro Shop at Grapevine Mills Mall. And from the looks of it, about two million people showed up — more or less, bad at math — so…
Jim Lites now gets to build soccer stadiums in England. Better than running the Stars, sounds like. The Dallas Stars Web site has the news: Jim Lites, who’s been both president of the hockey club and the head of Hicks Sports Marketing Group, is moving over to HSMG. Which means…
Doug Armstrong’s still the Stars’ GM, far as the team’s Web site is concerned. So, Tom Hicks finally figured out what the rest of hockeydom’s known for ages: The Dallas Stars need a change. So he’s fired general manager Doug Armstrong, which is a start. But folks who know hockey…
As we predicted a while back, Terrell Owens is happy. Something about the disappearance of Bill Parcells magically removing accidental overdoses, narcolepsy and shouting matches with assistants from his daily diet. Weird, the Fat Fish’s departure did the same trick for me too. If you’ve been paying attention, T.O. is…
Because it totally makes sense to announce the schedule for the 2008 baseball season on November 13, the Texas Rangers today released next season’s schedule and game times — so, really, no pushing or shoving as you line up for season tix. For them’s so interested, the first regular season…
There appeared this morning the story that Tom Hicks was looking to score yet another soccer team — AS Roma, to be precise. Hicks, of course, already owns Liverpool’s famed club with fellow American businessman George Gillett. So it kinda made sense he’d want to keep growing his football portfolio…
OK, color me convinced. And consider the NFC East captured. Barring a complete implosion, possible only should Tony Romo get injured, the Dallas Cowboys won their first division championship since 1998 yesterday in New Jersey. After dominating the New York Giants 31-20, the Cowboys have a three-game lead and the…
Football wagering ain’t easy. It’s more difficult than trying to make sense of Rick Gosselin’s “From the 50” photo snapped “From the End Zone.” More confounding than the Cowboys yesterday selling out an entire upcoming season — for only the first time in team history. And, let’s face it, even…
