If the VIP newsletter scam dug the hole, Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione nailed shut his coffin last week against Tech.

A sign the Dallas Cowboys are starting to flex a little more muscle in their relationship with flagship station KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket): Nate Newton, long a regular contributor on ESPN-103.3 FM, has also become a part-time voice on a weeknight Cowboys show on The Ticket. There's no way Ticket bosses like that ...

If you hate me in print and online, you’ll loathe me on the air. Tune in to Live 105.3 FM and the Dan and Tasos show Saturday night at 10 and I’ll do my best to justify your abhorrence. Look it up. --Richie Whitt
