Dallas Cowboys 2010 Mock Schedule. That’s Right, Mock Schedule.

Draft schmaft. How about a mock schedule? The NFL will release its 2010 regular-season menu tonight at 6 on NFL Network. We know the Dallas Cowboys’ opponents for next this season, we just don’t when they’ll play where. Without the aid of a hidden cell phone video, allow me to take…

Ron Washington = Hot Seat?

I know. It’s early. The Texas Rangers’ season is exactly two weeks old. But there are ominous signs, no? Getting swept by the Yankees in New York isn’t Apocalyptic. But mustering only eight runs in four games is troublesome. More so, the 5-7 Rangers have already blown two wins with their…

Mavericks 100, Spurs 94: My Top 10 Observations

10. Asked Mavs owner Mark Cuban on his Stairmaster last night if he was serious about his story of almost imploding the team in late January before finding the Caron Butler trade: “Absolutely the truth. Ask my wife.” 9. In crunch time, it was Jason Kidd on Manu Ginobli. He…

Mavs vs. Spurs: Let’s Get This Party Started

Wednesday night’s Dallas Mavericks’ victory over the San Antonio Spurs wasn’t exactly reason to plan a parade. But definitely reason to throw a party. After the game, players such as Shawn Marion and Caron Butler attended Chris Arnold’s party at Deux Lounge in Mockingbird Station. The atmosphere was as optimistic…

Cowboys Kicker: It’s David Buehler’s Job to Lose

As we’ll do Friday at noon, Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan Newy Scruggs and I visited with Dallas Cowboys’ vice president Stephen Jones. We asked him about Flozell Adams and Doug Free and Jared Gaither and Brandon Marshall and the fall of Texas Stadium and NFL overtime and, oh yeah,…

Falling Stars

The Dallas Stars cleared out their lockers yesterday. They long ago vacated our minds. Once upon a time Stars games were Dallas’ see-and-be-scene. The hockey team won. The bold and beautiful watched. Even as recently as two springs ago we were staying up late and digging in hard for Dallas’…

Much Ado About Nothing. Right?

Tony Romo’s a miracle. Bill Parcells ain’t worth a shit. Tim Tebow won’t be worth a damn. And, oh yeah, Jerry Jones likes to party. To me this hidden video of the Dallas Cowboys owner shooting the bull with some fans is no biggie, nothing new. Appearing on Entourage? Now…

Dallas Mavericks: We’re (Almost) No. 2!

Get ready for Mavs-Spurs. And I don’t mean just in Wednesday night’s regular-season finale at American Airlines Center. I mean in the playoffs. Yes, again. With a walk-in-the-park, 23-point win over the ridiculous Clippers Monday night in Los Angeles, the Mavericks clinched at least the No. 3 playoff seed in the…

This Could Be Marty Turco’s Last Day as a Dallas Star

Lil’ birdie tells me this morning that his contract won’t be renewed. He is a great guy and was a good goalie for a long time, but apparently the goalie of the future for the Stars isn’t Marty Turco. It’s Kari Lehtonen. Developing. Are we sad about this or is it time…

Case … Closed?

At least for a day, Texas Rangers’ reliever Frankie Francisco wasn’t Texas Stadium. On a tense afternoon in Cleveland, he stopped imploding. Francisco, demoted from closer after two blown saves last week, didn’t fool anyone in Texas’ 4-2, 10-inning victory, but he retired the side in order in the 9th. After…

Chalk One Up for Karma: Tiger Woods Overshadowed by Phil-Good Story

  Karma 1, Tiger Woods 0. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Why give Tiger an exaggerated ovation when you can cheer for someone who overcomes adversity that isn’t self-inflicted? Someone who doesn’t made repetitive, horrible, corrupt choices. Someone whose wife and mother are dealing with breast cancer. Someone like Phil…

A Week After the Opener Your Texas Rangers Need a Closer

The Rangers lost three games last season when they took a lead into the ninth inning. In this season’s first week, they’ve already lost two. Hence, an organization founded upon second chances (see Josh Hamilton and Ron Washington) is suddenly playing hardball accountability, yanking Frankie Francisco from the closer’s job…

What It Might Have Looked Like If Michael Bay Blew Up Texas Stadium

No doubt you’ve seen Texas Stadium’s adios a thousand times from 100 different angles since yesterday’s implosion. But this morning, in the comments to Patrick and Nick’s stills-and-video round-up posted first thing Sunday, Jeremiah Warren of Shoot Smash Boom sent word that he’d captured the whole thing with high-speed cameras…
