Signs that your life may be wobbling off its axis: You’ve been shot more times than Fitty Cent. You lied to police, prompting your boss to lie about your lying. You generate superstar skeptics, even from those highly skilled in the art of handcuff etiquette and fudging about felonies. “C’mon…
That’s likely what the newest Maverick will hear when Dallas hosts the (grit your teeth) World Champion Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade February 22 at the American Airlines Center. Devean George, signed from the Los Angeles Lakers last night, will join newcomers Anthony Johnson, Greg Buckner and rookie Maurice Ager…
No, Drew Bledsoe didn’t mangle an ACL in practice. But for a handful of rabid Dallas sports fans, the dream ended last night just an hour south of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California. FC Roma, an amateur soccer team from our beloved city, was beaten 2-nil in…
If you’re thinking of taking Julius Jones as a Top 10 pick in your fantasy football draft, why are you even bothering? Admit it, fellas, you want it. You crave it. You actually need it. Dude, you’re sick. Instead of a fantasy where you jump into a Jessica sandwich between…
Just so you know, Lincoln Kennedy failed his physical today for the Cowboys. He weighed about 380 pounds, or 50 more than when he was an elite player. Also heard that he had some sort of internal thingamajig that will keep him from being football-ready for about a month. And…
Why is Lincoln Kennedy so danged happy? Maybe it’s because the former Raider’s getting a shot at being a Cowboy during training camp. Two words this morning: Lincoln Kennedy. Been a while since you heard that name, eh? Well, you’ll be hearing it again later today as the Dallas Cowboys…
In his last two stops, Terrell Owens has driven quarterbacks, coaches and fans crazy. After exactly two days of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California, there’s evidence his presence is already pushing coach Bill Parcells to the brink of insanity. In a fascinating, frustrating 10-minute span on a…
Straining camp: As goes Drew Bledsoe, so goes Dallas. Unless you think Tony Romo’s the QB of the future. Heh. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells’ training camp T-shirt reads “Who’s All In?”, a poker reference to risking it all in a do-or-die hand. Terrell Owens is here in Oxnard, California,…
It’s only the first day of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California, but at least one major player is already in mid-season form. Long-time WFAA-Channel 8 sports anchor Dale Hansen got Day 1 off to a rousing start, purposely directing football-specific questions to owner Jerry Jones and away…
Dallas Cowboys training camp hasn’t officially begun, and starting free safety Keith Davis is already drawing flags. But these aren’t yellow for leaping offside but red for lying. The skepticism you had at initially hearing Davis’ tale of being shot on Interstate 635 in the early morning of July 16…
The Rangers couldn’t have picked a worse time for their worst flop of the year. Big series against the New York Yankees. Big attendance. Big media attention. Uh-oh. Climaxed by last night’s excruciating 8-7 loss to the Bronx Bombers, the Rangers were swept. And now, thanks to the Cowboys officially…
Don’t know how the local media missed this one–perhaps they were too busy blogging about Oxnard’s night life-—but Terrell Owens is guaranteeing a Super Bowl for your Dallas Cowboys. Not this year necessarily, but sometime in the next three years. He said so in a sit-down with KXAS-Channel 5’s Newy…
Today did not dawn pretty for you traditionalists. That is, if there are any of you left. First, Fort Worth’s tradition-saturated Colonial golf tournament has sold out and partnered with something called the Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resort, rendering the grand ol’ golfing get-together as faceless and bland as any…
Better late than never: Adam Eaton, acquired from San Diego in the offseason, finally pitches for Your Texas Rangers tonight against the Yanks.

Could the coach on the right wind up with the coach on the left–which is to say, left out? We shall see. In the month since our Dallas Mavericks broke our hearts with a dramatic come-from-ahead loss in the NBA Finals, owner Mark Cuban has been dissed by Dirk Nowitzki…
Tiger Woods is leading the British Open. He couldn’t have done it without Dallas’ Hank Haney, who got Tiger into the swing of things. Rock me. It’s not so bad to be an American overseas today–well, unless you’re trapped in Lebanon or something. But if you’re a Yankee Doodle Sports…
When the Cowboys host their coaching clinic tomorrow, the Tuna will not be there. But the guy who coaches the arena team’ll be there. Same thing, innit? In what has become a really cool gesture by your Dallas Cowboys, the team will host its annual coaching clinic Friday at Texas…
No steroids? No ego? No national ad campaigns? No paparazzi pics wearing only eye black and a jock strap in the back seat with a Bachman Lake stripper? No obscenity-laced insults hurled at Mike Doocy? No 3 a.m. alcohol-related arrests after taking in Ted Nugent at Billy Bob’s? What? Texas…
If you buy his book, Terrell Owens might shut the hell up and go the hell away. On second thought, doubt it. Like we’re not already sick of Terrell Owens, after his appearances at the ESPYs over the weekend and on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, he’ll be on HBO’s…
Frisco RoughRiders Don’t believe Richie when he says Mike Rhyner’s more powerful than Buck Showalter? Well, hell, just ask Rhyner. He’ll tell ya the same thing. It’s a list of the most powerful people in Dallas sports. Say it with me: Pow. Er. Ful. Not the most popular. Nor the…
One of the guys in this picture will no longer play for the Stars. One of the guys in this picture will debut in a Stars jersey this fall. We guess it matters. Let me check…yep, Dallas still has a hockey team. After their disappearing act early in the Stanley…
After sitting on a runway for an hour in Atlanta and finally arriving at DFW Airport three hours late on a July 5 flight, Terrell Owens pulled down his plaid Gilligan hat and pulled out his cell phone when a beleaguered co-passenger timidly approached near the luggage carousel. “Hate to…
