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…

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…
He may be the starting AL pitcher tonight, but this is how we’ll always remember Kenny Rogers. Most of us–fine, I–watch baseball about three times a year: Opening Day (Oh, the excitement!), the World Series (Oh, I wonder where the Texas Rangers are) and the All-Star Game (Oh say can…
Earlier this year, Lance Armstrong and a local promotions company went to war over millions. The result: more doping allegations and a bunch of cash.

Tamika Catchings is one of Richie Whitt’s favorite ball players, and not just because they went to the same high school. She might not be the best women’s basketball player in America, but she’s officially the most popular. And the coolest thing about Tamika Catchings? She hails from good ol’…
Marquis Daniels is no longer a Maverick. Wait, he was still a Maverick? Since when? Obviously Marquis Daniels was on the way out. But didn’t we think something better was on its way in? Because of his fat contract, a lackadaisical style that often irked coach Avery Johnson and the…

It’s 8:37 a.m., do you know where your drunks are? Nope, not sleeping one off down at Lew Sterrett’s joint. They’re right here, at The Londoner pub in Addison. Even at this ungodly hour on a Saturday they’re packed shoulder-to-shoulder, painting their faces, downing pints of room-temperature Guinness and chanting…
Why is this man smiling? Maybe because some video company paid Bill Parcells a lot for an instructional video. How much? Dunno. Too much? Yeah, probably. My birthday is Saturday. Since I know you’re wondering, here’s one thing you can cross off your list: a football instructional video hosted by…
You can buy cans of Dr Pepper for a few hundy. And ya get some signatures from famous people too. And other stuff. Or, at least, be treated like one. OK, would you settle for just getting hold of the really cool free shit celebs get? For last weekend’s Reebok…

Ladies and gentleman, meet your newest Mavericks, Maurice Ager. Dude looks tough, which is nice. You know those old eight-panel leather basketballs you grew up with? Gone.
