It’s no surprise that Kenyans took the top spots at yesterday’s White Rock Marathon — or that they beat our pathetic Matt Pulle, who finished a measly 17th because of “hamstring problems” and a “lack of support along Swiss Avenue” and “Ross Perot Jr.” Anyone who has ever watched even…
Jerry Stackhouse, pictured on his Web site Two weeks after Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was killed in his Miami apartment, pro athletes are getting a little … paranoid. Some guys are buying dogs; others, guns. And most are just trying to keep their heads down, reports USA Today, which…

From The New York Post today, via Fox Sports: Jason Kidd was “on strike” last night, faking illness and riding the pine in order to expedite a trade that would get him outta New Jersey. And to where, you ask? Well … Another source said the Nets were planning on…
I would just like to thank “kxmas” for posting to the YouTubes this clip from a 1975 interview with Roger Staubach. Though I’m not sure the best part isn’t when Phyllis George asks the Cowboys QB, “Do you enjoy it?” Oh, and in related news, Staubach is growin’. –Robert Wilonsky…
The White Rock Marathon is all grown up. And all sold out. For the first time in the race’s 37-year history, organizers of Dallas’ second-largest participation sporting event were forced to cut off entries. At 15,000 runners. “Never thought I’d see this day,” says Bob Wallace, who won The Rock…
Seriously, have you checked out the Mavs’ official Dirk Nowitzki Web site? Because for a second, it looks like he’s about to give you the finger. With the Cowboys 11-1, Terrell Owens turning 34 and Tony Romo sluttin’ around show business, the rest of our local sports almost become irrelevant…
We’re goosin’ Gosselin’s weekly NFL rankings, ’cause. We all make mistakes. I’ve had my share find their way to print. But if you’re Dallas’ Only Daily, you just cannot afford an oops when it comes to the status of the beloved Cowboys. As I’m sure you’ve been made aware –…
Tony Romo hasn’t even finished his first full season as the Dallas Cowboys’ starting QB, but already there’s a tome-o about Romo (cough, sorry): Tony Romo: America’s Next Quarterback. Astute readers will notice two things: It’s being published by the same Random House Publishing Group imprint responsible for Frank Luksa’s…
I can only sum up the college football season thusly: WTF?! Capping a year that was crazier than Evel Knievel, No. 1-ranked Missouri and No. 2 West Virginia lost over the weekend to send the sport into utter chaos. After the humans and computers digested and translated a season in…
Steve Nash told a London paper last week, “It’s not as though there was some irreconcilable divorce with Dallas.” Steve Nash said on Friday — in a Q&A with readers of The Times on London, no less — that he wouldn’t have a problem playing for the Dallas Mavericks again,…
Tony Walter, a columnist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette, discovered during last Thursday’s Cowboys-Packers game that Texas Stadium is a dump — gee, ya think, Tony? Turns out, he had to wait in a long line — “of at least 2,000 people (no exaggeration)” — to get a cab after…
It’s 4:37 p.m. Thursday. Fans that already successfully navigated the traffic jam outside Texas Stadium have begun tailgating. Inside, Brett Favre is jogging around Texas Stadium in his shorts. Let the post-game play-by-play commence…
We all know how Tony Romo’s tried to downplay his adoration of Brett Favre. And how watching tonight’s clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers will be difficult today and expensive tomorrow. And how, considering NFL Network is available in only one-third of the country, the national draw…

Fred — the guy who owns the World’s Best Burger joint, located at the corner of Highway 11 and 36 in downtown Burlington, Wisconsin — doesn’t know for whom to root Thursday night. Like, should it be Green Bay Packers’ QB Brett Favre? Or Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo, the hometown…
I am a MFFL through and through, but I have to get this off my chest: Mavs Man, now in his seventh season (!), is safely the creepiest, scariest, grossest, most disgusting, weirdest, most terrifying mascot this world has ever seen. Ever. (And that includes the Dallas Cowboys’ universally loathed…
C’mon, you know Tony Romo has a picture of Brett Favre hanging somewhere in his locker. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is unofficially dating everyone. But, turns out, he was never really in love with Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. Or was he? “I was more of a basketball…
If you couldn’t make it to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday night, when the Dallas Stars feted Mike Modano for becoming the league’s all-time leading American-born scorer — and, man, that asterisk is a mouthful — someone has kindly posted to the YouTubes the JumboTron video tribute screened during…
