Still hurts, doesn’t it? Now, D-Wade is the magazine’s Sportsman of the Year. Go ahead. Let it out. Unless you’ve been too mesmerized by Britney going commando to notice, the Dallas Mavericks — as predicted right here — rebounded quite nicely from their 0-4 start. If you’re reading this second…
Remember back when the New York Giants were all cocky and all celebratin’ like rappers-turned-hoopsters-turned-footballers? Remember even further back, when we were just so sure that if the Dallas Cowboys were gonna be worth a crap they’d have to get great seasons from Drew Bledsoe, Greg Ellis and Mike Vanderjagt?…
You really should read The New York Times’ account of yesterday’s Cowboys win over the New York Giants, if only for the picture accompanying the recap. I’ve already sent it to Mike Vanderjagt. Maybe he wants to use it on his Web site or, at the very least, as his…
This is the genius behind TonyHomo.com. Part of him wishes you didn’t know that. First thing this morning, I touted the greatness of Really Drew Bledsoe’s latest post on his blog, TonyHomo.com. An hour later, Tim Rogers at FrontBurner outed the man behind the blog: Amir Blumenfeld, a 23-year-old Los…
If nothing else, Richie does give us an excuse to run this pic of the future Mrs. Mike Modano. She seems very bendy. Thanks for taking my call. Unfortunately, the previous caller stole my thunder. I’m learning you gotta get up pret-ty early to beat certain blog editors (rhymes with…
USA Today says Tony Romo’s a “sex symbol” now. And, apparently, women like him too. USA Today’s the latest media outlet to go Romosexual, with a lengthy piece about how the Cowboys QB is giving the team “the same confident aura it had when Aikman engineered three Super Bowl championships…
First, we get buried beneath the Arctic Blast’s sub-zero temperatures and six feet of ice. And now Dallas is about to get dumped on again. Somehow amidst the downed power lines and white-out conditions comes news that Saturday’s Big 12 Championship Game between old Big 8 rivals Oklahoma and Nebraska…
The 107th game between Army and Navy takes place this Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and who better to comment on the great gridiron battle than former Naval Academy QB — and, sure, Greatest Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Ever — Roger Staubach? He tells The Baltimore Examiner today that…
Anna Kournikova grabbed my balls. Relax. It was for charity. Some aspire to climb Mount Everest, facilitate world peace or concoct a beer-flavored cure for the common cold. Me? I just want to hit on the hottest human ever to pick up a tennis racquet. And have her hit back…
So, the best the Rangers could do this off-season was acquire Frank Catalanotto? Been there, done that, right? The Ron Washington Era is off to a stumbling start. Phil Bennett is coming back to SMU. Bill Parcells has been invited back to the Dallas Cowboys. But, as for your Texas…
Nick Lachey’s gonna own a minor-league baseball team with Dallas’ Kirby Schlegel. Pinch me. Since Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson aren’t dating after all–no surprise there, since, like, isn’t she supposed to be with John Mayer?–guess we’ll have to settle for Kirby Schlegel and Nick Lachey. I know. Kind of…
Adrian Jones was All-District at Carter. Now, he’s a New York Jet–and has something else in common with Joe Namath. You ever see Adrian Jones play football, back when he was named first-team All-District during his senior season at Carter High School? Me, neither. Guess he must have been pretty…
Somebody was trying to sell this Mike Vanderjagt-signed helmet on eBay. We’re pretty sure they had to pay the winner to take it off their hands. Mike Vanderjagt just kept on being right. Which, ultimately, was wrong. In a move that displays how serious the Cowboys are about winning a…
SMU may get rid of Phil Bennett, but it’s likely to extend a two-year deal to his mustache. Unfortunately for SMU, notsamuch. But almost. The Mustangs came within four points of a remarkable resurrection this season, but their 31-27 loss at Rice Saturday afternoon dropped them to 6-6 and off…
Every guy in this city officially has a man-crush on Tony Romo. Hey, what’s Jessica Simpson got Richie Whitt doesn’t? I went to Texas Stadium for the Cowboys’ mauling of the Bucs, and this season has suddenly transformed from sad to surreal. Yep, all because of an undrafted free agent…
Before the game we get Kelly Clarkson. At halftime it’s Carrie Underwood. And if the Dallas Cowboys are interested in a female mascot for Thursday’s annual Thanksgiving Day game at Texas Stadium, they should reach out to Anna Nicole Smith. Too imbalanced to fully embrace yet too tempting to totally…
Gee, wonder why the NBA’s having its All-Star Game in Las Vegas this season. Nothing to do with the fantasy suites at the hotel run by the Kings’ owners, surely. I will definitely be in attendance when the NHL All-Star Game rolls through town in January. Continuing that theme of…
Today, subscribers to Sports Illustrated will get the new issue. In there, they will find the Scorecard. Turns out, Tony Romo may, in fact, be putting the “score” into Scorecard after all: “BEING DUMPED is never fun, but Tony Romo seems to have landed on his feet after his girlfriend…
One of these people is Anna Kournikova. The other’s a guy who claims this is “work.” Sorry I’m late getting to Tony Romo’s weekly coronation. Yesterday I was still basking in a hangover from my date with Anna Kournikova. More on that next week. For now, back to our crush…
This morning, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones told KTCK-AM (1310) morning-show hosts Craig Miller and George Dunham that there are only so many things he can do with failed place kicker Mike Vanderjagt. “I don’t think it impacts him to stare at him real hard, do you?…
Ya know what Richie’s doing tomorrow? Getting tennis lessons from this woman. He calls it “working.” Whatever eases his guilty conscience… We never really need an excuse to run a pic of Anna Kournikova, but today we actually have one. The hottest player to ever pick up a tennis racquet–and…
If it’s all the same, this is how we prefer to think of Emmitt Smith. Full disclosure: I didn’t watch one second of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Fuller disclosure: It pains me–and every bit of my sportswritin’ DNA–to even write about it. But since the NFL’s all-time leading rusher…
