Don’t look now, but we suck. There are 120 major college football teams. Only two enter this final Saturday of the regular season with just one win. Grab a barf bag, the autopsies on SMU and North Texas get even more gruesome. As if matching 1-10 records weren’t enough to…
I could get my premature Scrooge on and predict that Pacman Jones showing up at last night’s Mavericks-Pacers game is a precursor to him – surprise! – eschewing voluntary house arrest to ultimately find more trouble. But I won’t do that. Not today. On Thanksgiving eve let’s just be…
Gather the kiddies ’round the warm glow of the computer monitor: The Jonas Brothers were on CNN this morning! And they were sitting on the field at Texas Stadium, where, tomorrow, they’ll perform during halftime of Cowboys-Seahawks to kick off the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Christmas charity campaign. Incidentally, this…
My son hates green beans. Faced with a plate of them, he’ll eat a couple, suck on a couple more, tear two or three apart and, ultimately, smash/push his veggies into a pile and pronounce: “Done!” Unless, of course, I consult the Parenting 101 guide and resort to reverse…
*If you’ve noticed some quirky fonts or crooked pictures this week it’s because Sportatorium is taking a fancy schmancy new software program for a test drive. Cool thing for you customers is that if you see a pic you’d like to see even bigger – like, I dunno, maybe…
I wasn’t at Saturday’s party unveiling this year’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ Swimsuit Calendar at the Gaylord Texan. But, for some reason, the mayor of Nayarit, Mexico was. And now, thanks to our friendly lil’ slideshow, you can be there too. — Richie Whitt…
The good news: Terrell Owens put up. The bad news: Now he’ll never shut up. With the smoke not yet cleared from his obnoxious — but not even a little bit surprising — interview with instigator Deion Sanders on NFL Network, T.O. produced his best day in a Cowboys’ uniform…
Won’t be seeing this for a while. And, honestly, probably won’t be hearing alot about the Stars, either. Hate to head into the weekend on a downer, but this is pretty significant – and bad – news. Stars’ captain Brenden Morrow, the team’s heart and soul, is out for at…
Last night, during halftime of the Cincinnati Bengals-Pittsburgh Steelers game on the NFL Network (I will watch any game played in snow, sorry), Deion Sanders sneak-peeked his Sunday-morning chitchat with Terrell Owens. You can catch a so-so video capture after the jump, or get the crystal-clear here. It’s worth watching…
Ah, the good ol’ days. When Dallas actually lifted sports trophies. Can’t say that I have a vivid memory of it, but apparently I was trying to trick Fort Worth Star-Telegram readers into thinking I knew a little something about indoor soccer and the defending MISL champion Dallas Sidekicks. Back…
5-7 is looking pretty good right about now, huh? When you get a break from resurrecting the Cowboys, take a minute to not bury the Mavericks either. On the brink of a 2-8 start Monday night, the Mavericks last night beat the Rockets in Houston for their third consecutive victory…
One foot was in the grave. “Or bust” was engulfing “Super Bowl.” The Dallas Cowboys, fame and fortune and forecasts be damned, were careening toward the most disappointing, disastrous season in franchise history. They still might end up there, just not this week. Trailing the Washington Redskins 7-0 late in…
Distraction? Why on Earth would you say a thing like that? Totally ignoring the fact that our little straw poll yesterday featured six “yay”s and seven “nay”s, NFL commish Roger Goodell is apparently on the verge of reinstating Pacman Jones. No official word yet, but owner Jerry Jones blabbed to…
The brute of Brock Lesnar is one reason to be attracted to UFC. I can think of others. It’s official: Ultimate Fighting has KO’d Boxing. Proof? Quick, name the heavyweight champion of the world. If you’re like me, you knew Brock Lesnar before Wladimir Klitschko. I went to Evander Holyfield’s…
Tony Romo needs a nickname — something like Mother Teresa, only more … manly. Because just two months after the Dallas Cowboys’ QB stopped to help a couple fix their flat — only hours after getting 13 stitches in his chin following the Browns game — today The Dallas Morning…
The NCAA just posted to its Web site a list of host cities for the 2012 through 2016 NCAA Men’s Final Fours — and, no surprise, Jerryworld is indeed included among the sites. The dates: April 5-7, 2014. The host city, incidentally, is listed as “North Texas,” with the following…
This just in: Dallas has officially moved to Arlington. Well, after Arlington’s new Jonestown Coliseum snared another 100,000-kilowatt event this morning, that feels like the score. Right? On the heels of Dallas being shunned by the women’s Final Four last week, the Cowboys’ new stadium today landed the 2014 men’s…
Forgiven? Or forgotten? Last week Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones was emphatic when asked if he’d like Pacman Jones back. “Yes,” Jones declared. On Monday at Valley Ranch coach Wade Phillips was slightly less enthusiastic. “I really don’t know,” Phillips said. “When he’s gone, he’s gone. We don’t really think about…
Richie mentioned it this morning, but it’s worth repeating this afternoon if you’re searching for one-of-a-kind Cowboys collectibles for those on your holiday wish list. Beginning today through December 6, the Dallas Cowboys are auctioning off damned near the entire contents of Texas Stadium, including every last locker, sign, turnstile,…
For those of you scoring at home, the answers to Friday’s pop quiz are: 1. M; 2. E; 3. G; 4. F; 5. N; 6. J; 7. L; 8. K; 9. D; 10. I; 11. A; 12. H; 13. C; 14. O; 15. B. Which means, according to my math,…
Uh-oh. Breaking news this morning that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged Mavs’ owner Mark Cuban with insider trading, stemming from a 2004 sale of stock in an Internet company. Me? I dunno the diff between “insider trading” and a “hot stock tip”, but I do this ain’t…
Four games and one auction left before our grand ol’ theater is … flattened? Three … Two … One … Go! To Texas Stadium’s going-out-of-business sale, that is. The official Texas Stadium auction begins this morning right here. From today through Dec. 6, fans can bid on select memorabilia from…
