What does David Beckham’s signing to the MLS mean? Well, more people will go to at least one FC Dallas home game, duh. Interesting piece this morning on SI.com by soccer writer Grant Wahl on the signing of David Beckham to the MLS. Much has been written about Beckham’s pending…
You love the all-inclusive vacation right? How about the all-inclusive baseball game? As in, have a hot dog and some nachos in the first inning; a hamburger in the third; couple a Dr Peppers in the fifth; and — sure, why not? — two more dogs in the ninth for…
Because we’re gonna start niche programming here at Unfair Park — hey, you ask for something, you’ll get it — here’s an answer to a question this sexy Friend of Unfair Park had earlier today concerning the schedule for the NHL All-Star Trading Card and Memorabilia show taking place Saturday…
Is it us, or does Pat Summerall look a little like Young Elvis in this old picture? Yeah, it’s like saying, “Sinatra in Midlothian.” But, shr’nuff, one of our best peeps will spend this Friday in one of our, fine, so-so places when legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall serves as keynote…
Yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks launched a new site that looks kinda of familiar: Mavswiki.com, which does indeed look just like Wikipedia. But, then, that is the point. Team owner Mark Cuban tells Unfair Park that MavsWiki is intended “a way for fans to have more fun and connect closer to…
Today I bring something for your eyes: a replay of the amazing Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl, which airs at 9 p.m. on Fox Sports Southwest. And here’s something for your ears: Maybe he’s hopelessly pitching pebbles at the castle walls. Or perhaps Thom Bailey has the latest, greatest idea in…
Tony Romo will run into the comforting arms of David Letterman next week. Because Leno sucks. Rest easy Cowboys fans, your quarterback is not sitting alone in a dark room, mindlessly flicking the light switch off, on, off, on… In fact, Tony Romo is beginning his long, painful road to…
This is how disinterested we are in hockey this season: We had no idea till Richie said so that the Stars had a female public address announcer. That’s cool. Remember waaaay back when goalie Marty Turco had it all figured out and the Dallas Stars jumped out of the gate…
Richie thinks Norv Turner might make a good head coach for Your Cowboys. Friends of Unfair Park, discuss. David Beckham is coming. Barbaro is going. And, thanks to Bill Parcells, Your Dallas Cowboys are stuck smack-dab in the middle of nowhere. Should the 65-year-old asshole (now there’s a mental image…
So, we’ve received, like, a dozen e-mails at Unfair Park informing us it’s time to “get over” the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night. They wonder why we can’t just move on and write about how the Dallas Mavericks are the most awesomest team since the Chicago…
Marshall Colt, the guy who fumbled away the Big Game in North Dallas Forty, is now a sports-psychology consultant. Uh…Tony? This week’s issue of Sports Illustrated, which is out today, doesn’t merely point out the obvious (and the already pointed-out): that Tony Romo’s bobble of the field-goal snap Saturday night…
Thank you, Tony Romo. For an imperfect end. To a perfect season. Sure, the quarterback/holder’s Seattle slip cost the Dallas Cowboys a late lead in last Saturday’s playoff game against the Seahawks. But that’s it, nothing more. Were you watching the game? Were you watching the last month? Even if…
Word is Mark Mulder has re-signed with his former team and not, yup, Your Texas Rangers. Our pal Jamey Newberg, of The Newberg Report, sends word of an odd happening tonight: a Texas Rangers Town Hall Meeting. It’s taking place at the Academy Sports & Outdoors location on Forest Lane…
You have four days left to bid on this: a custom-made (ya think?) Tony Romo action figure, prepped and packaged so it resembles the Cowboys QB’s failed goal-line dive after the game-losing snap during Saturday night’s wild-card game. The seller comes from South Carolina, and so far 23 bidders have…
Jerry Jones kinda, sorta blew up on The Ticket this morning. But he’s still in love with Tony Romo, Bill Parcells and Terrell Owens. That’s so cute. Let me start off by apologizing to the herd of elementary school kids and the wide-eyed crossing guard I scared the bezeevers out…
Bill Parcells says he wasn’t looking for a Giants job. Dang. We were so hopin’. I once had a helping of Irate Tuna at a Japanese restaurant; little too pink and puffy for my tastes. But Irate Tuna’s on the menu today in the New York Daily News, where the…
You know who called that Florida blowout last night? The Ticket’s own Greg Williams, at right. Genius. I didn’t see it coming. Neither did you. But Greg Williams did and said so on Monday afternoon’s episode of “The Hardline” on KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket). Shr’nuff, while local media Ohio State…
Bill Parcells wants to go back to New York, says sources. Fine. Let him. OK. Fine. Richie’s right. Bill Parcells is an asshole. I’ve defended the guy a little here; got nothing better to do, apparently. Actually, I felt sorry for him more than anything; that NYTimes Mag piece sure…
Yeah, yeah. Tony Romo muffed the field-goal hold. Whatever. The Seahawks woulda scored again anyway. And Romo still gets to wake up next to Carrie Underwood. You? An empty can of Coors Lite. Just know that it’s going to get worse before it gets better: Romo: Built in a day,…
Olympic weightlifter Cheryl Haworth has been taking meals with ex-Tom Hicks partner Charles Tate. No word if Tate’s actually on the menu. Seems Tom Hicks ain’t the only member of the Fab Four — which is to say, the buyout artists formerly known as Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst –…
How did the refs not call the Lakers’ late-game foul committed against Jason Terry last night? Oh, well. At least he didn’t fumble the ball. Rowdy West Coast fans. Banged-up home team playing without a couple starters but with a former MVP trying to lead his team back to the…
After the jump, a fan’s reenactment…
