Wowboys 20, Beagles 16: My Top 10 Observations

10. Lots of heroes Sunday night in Philly, but the biggest – smallest – play was made by rookie linebacker Victor Butler. With the Eagles down 7 and facing third-and-10 from Dallas’ 33, Donovan McNabb scrambled right into what seemed to be an open field for a good 10 to…

Gentlemen, Start Your … 7-10 Splits?

For those of you – both of you – not consumed by Cowboys-Eagles this weekend, NASCAR comes to town in the form of the Dickie’s 500 Sunday at.Texas Motor Speedway. Driving. Racing. Wreckin’. Watching. Drinking. Eating. Bowling? It’s the events surrounding the race that actually make NASCAR more circus than sport…

Roy Williams >, < or = Terrell Owens?

It was just one week ago that – despite his mediocre production – I was publicly defending Dallas Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams. My reasoning? He was a better teammate than the dearly departed Terrell Owens. “A stand-up guy,” I wrote. “Good character.” Eff me. You guys watch the games. You see what’s…

NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 9

Like the BCS, style points count. So do geeky, black-and-white stats such as touchdowns and quarterback rating. Wins and losses? Definitely. Leadership? Uh-huh. When it comes to my weekly NFL Quarterback Rankings – if I had one of those little encircled R’s to signify a trademarked idea, it’d go here – the…

Roy or Romo: Who’s At Fault Here?

Roy Williams is the Dallas Cowboys’ third-highest paid player. And their fourth-leading receiver. So I ask you, what the hell is going on here? It may sound like nitpicking on a team that’s won three in a row heading into Sunday night’s showdown against the Eagles, but to win in Philly…

This Just In: Don’t Drink and Drive

If your name is Newy Scruggs, Laura Dean-Mooney or Jesus H. Christ, you have permission to stop reading. The rest of you, I’d like you to think back to the last time you were driving while drunk, schnockered, intoxicated, tipsy, under the influence or, if you prefer, merely buzzed. Last…

Mavs Sweep L.A. Raise Your Hand If You Saw This One Coming.

After attending last Tuesday’s sluggish opener at American Airlines Center, I didn’t exactly think the Dallas Mavericks were a hideous outfit that would miss the playoffs. But I certainly didn’t see them beating the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe: 1) The Washington Wizards don’t suck. 2) The Mavs don’t either. Hung…

But Who’d Win an Actual Battle of the Bands?

No doubt you’ve already heard (and just pretended you didn’t): Daughtry’s landed the halftime gig at Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving Day, the annual kickoff for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign. Which prompted this locker-room meeting of the musical minds on Friday: Free Reign, meet Daughtry — which, apparently, is…

Wowboys 38, Seahags 17: My Top 10 Observations.

10. Ten. That’s how many Cowboys caught passes Sunday. Of the players eligible to be a receiver, only Tashard Choice got shut out. 9. Halloween hangover. The end of Daylight Savings Time. Whatever. Something weird was going on at Cowboys Stadium, for I coulda swore I saw Bobby Carpenter make…

Head Coach Jerry Jones? We’re Closer Than Ever.

Since the day he arrived at Valley Ranch in 1989 Jerry Jones has been in charge of well, you remember, everything from socks and jocks. But this morning on his weekly visit with me and Newy Scruggs on 105.3 The Fan Jerry – more unequivocal, more crystal clear and more adamant…

Give Me Roy Williams over Terrell Owens

Not over their careers obviously, because Terrell Owens is a no-brainer Hall of Famer and Roy Williams is a one-time Pro Bowler who in 2006 snuck in only after Torry Holt backed out with an injury. But this year – horrible for both as of yet – I’ll take Williams…

What’s So Appealing About Gorgeous Women in their Underwear Tackling Each Other? If You Have to Ask, You Won’t Want To See the Lingerie Football League’s Dallas Desire.

OK, here goes: I don’t much care for women’s sports. Because, let’s face it, they’re inferior. Call me a sexist, chauvinistic pig if you must. Just admit I’m right. It’s not that I don’t think women should work or vote or be astronauts or president. It’s just that I don’t…
