No matter what happens over the next three days, the Dallas Cowboys 2017 NFL Draft will not be better than the team’s 2016 draft. Last year, the Cowboys picked up a game-breaking running back in the first round (Ezekiel Elliott), a franchise quarterback (Dak Prescott) in the fourth round and…
“Sorry I’m sweaty,” Mark Cuban says, shaking hands with the ESPN China correspondents waiting for him outside the Mavericks locker room at American Airlines Center. He’s wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt, just minutes removed from the stair machine he habitually exercises on while taking pregame questions from basketball beat reporters. The two-person…
If the Rangers finish the season behind a competitor by a single game, Sunday’s outing in Seattle against the Mariners will lilt be one fans will wish they had to do over. Somehow, in the span of four hours at Safeco Field, the Rangers managed to cough up both a…
Over the past week to week and a half, as the Rangers have muddled their way through the first nine games of the 2017 season, a sense of despair has settled in among some of the team’s less faithful. Despite the fact that the team hasn’t even played at home,…
Turns out, New Year’s Day against the Eagles wasn’t former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s last day in a Dallas sports uniform. On Tuesday the Mavericks made Romo point guard for a day, allowing him to take part in the team’s morning shoot-around, as well as layup lines before the…
According to reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and several Cowboys’ beat reporters, Tony Romo’s separation saga is over. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback, held in limbo for almost a month following the team’s decision to hold onto his rights in order to pursue a trade after deciding to release him, will…
The Rangers begin their 2017 regular season Monday night. That’s a good thing. After bowing out of the 2016 playoffs in the minimum three games to the Blue Jays, the 2016-17 offseason, thanks in no small part to the World Baseball Classic, has been interminable. Now, finally, after nearly six…
For most of the afternoon Friday, Southern Methodist University’s men’s basketball team looked on par with the 2016-2017 season; in other words, one of the very best teams in the United States. Led by star wing Semi Ojeleye and athleticism, the Mustangs leveraged into a 53-43 lead with 11:36 remaining…
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is in trouble again after video surfaced Monday of his pawing and exposing a woman’s breast during Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Dallas. There are two videos, both obtained by TMZ. One shows Elliott exposing a woman’s left breast after the woman points…
SMU’s men basketball team won Sunday. It wasn’t a surprise. The Mustangs’ win over Cincinnati in the American Athletic Conference Tournament final is their 30th this year and 16th in a row. With the win, they are officially guaranteed a berth in the NCAA Tournament that was already a foregone…
Wednesday afternoon, the reports dribbled in from all of the Cowboys’ beat reporters: Tony Romo, the team’s starting quarterback since November 2006, is going to be released. Today is the first day of the NFL’s league year. Romo’s demise was inevitable — the writing’s been on the wall since Dak…
In a lot of ways, the identity of the 2017 Rangers appears set. If they are going to win the American League West for the third consecutive season, this year’s Rangers will do it with a dominant front end of the rotation, an experienced middle of the order and a…
On Thursday afternoon, just ahead of the NBA’s trade deadline, the Dallas Mavericks pulled off one of the week’s biggest trades, shipping center Andrew Bogut and wing Justin Anderson to the Philadelphia 76ers for center Nerlens Noel. The Mavs will also send their first round pick to the Sixers, as…
Let’s start by saying this: Tony Romo is not going to play for the Cowboys next year. And that’s OK. The Cowboys have Dak Prescott, the cost-controlled quarterback of their dreams. Romo gets to chase the Super Bowl that’s eluded him throughout his otherwise stellar career. As much as the…
Colby Lewis isn’t retiring, at least not yet. The 37-year-old starting pitcher, drafted by the Rangers in 1999 is still looking for work this season, but he recognizes the glut of starting pitching the Rangers have amassed ahead of spring training. Lewis knows that his time in Arlington, stretched over…
Sports and fashion were once totally separate institutions. For better or worse, that is no longer the case as the influence of marketing and music impact what athletes wear. Fashion has been as fickle a mistress in Dallas’ sports scene over the years as in any arena. Now that we enter one…
Wednesday night, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced that Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez is going to be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame, following a single year on the ballot.

At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Josh Hamilton and Rangers general manager Jon Daniels announced that Hamilton is returning to the Rangers in 2017 on a minor-league contract. In spring training, he’ll be given a chance to win a job on the team’s opening roster, probably at first base, a…
The saddest thing is that there aren’t any more games. For the better part of five months Cowboys fans have enjoyed a steady stream of Sundays — well, Thursdays and one Monday. The 2016 Cowboys were young, talented and abundantly fun to watch, all rarities in the last 20 years…
All hands were on deck Sunday at AT&T Stadium for what Dallas Cowboys fans thought was going to be the start of a deep playoff run against the Green Bay Packers. What went down, though, was one of the most heartbreaking ends to a season in team history. Social media reacted accordingly.
If there wasn’t so much at stake, this is the one game Cowboys fans would’ve wanted. If they knew, rather than just hoped, that this team and its two personable rookie leaders are part of a Cinderella season, they’d want this match against the Packers. Green Bay is the Cowboys’ longest standing…
The Dallas Cowboys’ regular season could not have gone much better. Behind rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, both long-shot MVP candidates, the Cowboys won 13 games for just the third time in team history. The club’s defense, maligned for most of the last three seasons, has come on strong…
