Watching the Cowboys’ desultory performance against the Giants on Sunday, that feeling recognizable to any lifelong Cowboys fan began to seep in. No matter how good the Cowboys are, there is a game in every great Cowboys season that just doesn’t fit in. The Cowboys always lay an egg. This…
The Cowboys are in a weird spot. With four games and a little less than a month left to play in the regular season, they’ve locked up a playoff spot with an 11-1 record and appear set to coast to the first seed in the NFC playoffs. They’re set to…
Dak Prescott is the man. The Cowboys rookie quarterback has his team sitting at 11-1, one win over the Giants away from an NFC East title, and no more than three wins away from securing the NFC’s top playoff seed. He’s affable, talented and photogenic, the perfect fit to be…
Last week, the Observer praised Tony Romo. The Cowboys quarterback has, for better or worse, brought plenty of excitement to fans for a decade. He’s affable, talented and made some of the best throws in the history of the franchise. Still, over that decade, Romo has failed to lead the Cowboys…
The Cowboys did not look great Thursday afternoon. Led by 449 passing yards from Kirk Cousins, the Redskins outgained Dallas on the day 505-353. Washington also managed, despite a typically strong day at the office from Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, to control the clock, keeping the ball for nearly…
The Tony Romo era is over. Barring an injury to Dak Prescott, the Cowboys’ most decorated quarterback is not likely to play in front of the fans he’s thrilled and infuriated over the last decade. Romo has been a Rorschach test throughout his tenure at the helm of the Cowboys…
Virtually everyone else in Dallas has weighed in on Tony vs. Dak by now, so Tuesday afternoon was finally Tony Romo’s turn. Dak Prescott should keep his starting quarterback job for the Cowboys, Romo said. Romo spoke to the media for the first time since injuring his back during a…
Now that the World Series is done, the Texas Rangers can get down for the same business. It’s the same business that the club’s done after each of the club’s first 44 seasons: reloading its roster in an attempt to win the club’s first ever World Series championship. The Rangers…
Today is Chicago’s day. No doubt about that. The forever-downtrodden Cubs’ organization and their beleaguered fans are celebrating the quenching of the 108-year fire after the Game 7 World Series win, one that some are calling the best baseball game ever played. But a whole nation of baseball fans seemed…
The first six games of the Cowboys 2016 season have gone better than anyone possibly could’ve hoped. Despite Tony Romo not taking a snap after injuring his back during his first preseason game and Dez Bryant having failed to make much of an impact thanks to a knee fracture suffered…
The Cowboys, somehow, have stumbled into the best type of quarterback controversy: They have two really good ones. Thanks to Tony Romo’s back injury in the preseason, 2016 fourth round pick Dak Prescott got a chance and he’s run with it, playing largely mistake-free football while leading the Cowboys to…
The Rangers’ 2016 playoff journey is over. It lasted all of four days. Despite finishing the regular season at an American League-best 95-67, the 2016 Rangers, just like the 43 Rangers clubs that preceded them, will not win the last game of the MLB season and the World Series championship…
Major League Baseball, as it did in 2010, 2011 and 2015, and as it will the next time the Rangers make the playoffs and aren’t playing the Yankees or Red Sox, has screwed DFW baseball fans again. The Rangers will start their 2016 playoff journey with a couple of weekday…
The Rangers lost Sunday afternoon. The Rays beat them 6-4, and the Rangers got exactly one extra-base hit, a home run from catcher Jonathan Lucroy, in a thoroughly uninspiring performance. None of it mattered. Thanks to a win Friday night behind a dominant, 12-strikeout performance from Yu Darvish, the Rangers…
Now we know why Dez Bryant’s knee diagnosis took so long. The Cowboys wide receiver, injured on the second play of the game against the Bears on Sunday night, skipped out and missed a team meeting, an MRI and other medical treatment early this week. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett offered…
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has a hairline fracture in his right tibia. Bryant suffered the injury during the first quarter of the Cowboys 31-17 win over the Bears on Sunday night when his leg caught underneath him while being dragged down behind by Bears linebacker Christian Jones. Bryant…
Friday night, the Rangers clinched the American League West title for the second consecutive season. It was the team’s fourth division championship in seven seasons. The Rangers are in the middle of the deepest purple patch in club history, but still searching for their first World Series title. The 2016…
Forbes’ newly released NFL franchise values confirm something that you know in your head is true, no matter what your heart says: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a genius. His Cowboys, according to the magazine, are worth $4.2 billion, up five percent from 2015. The Cowboys are the most valuable…
Here we are, two days before the Cowboys kick off 2016 against the Giants on Sunday afternoon, and it’s impossible to know how to feel. Sure, the offensive unit that will line up against the G-Men looked explosive throughout the preseason, and will have full-strength Dez Bryant for the first…
Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. He’s been a Twitter scapegoat and a social media super hero. He’s made Adrian Beltre slap him playfully on the cheek for his second baserunning mistake in one night and sent Rangers fans home…
After Thursday night’s preseason game against the Seahawks, it seemed like the Cowboys, and Tony Romo, had gotten away with one. Despite Romo’s getting knocked out of the game three plays in by a Cliff Avril hit, the injury to Romo’s back wasn’t serious, according to Romo and Cowboys Head…
Josh Hamilton, the most talented player to ever wear a Rangers uniform, has been released by the team, effective Tuesday afternoon. Hamilton’s second stint with the Rangers ended with his being placed on unconditional release waivers following his not playing a game in 2016 due to injury. The move ensures…
