Anyone getting the matches perfecto wins a year’s free subscription to the Dallas Observer (redeemable each Thursday at any local newsstand). And oh, what the heck, since I’m feeling generous I’ll throw in a couple months' free online membership to this here Sportatorium. Good luck. 1. After an announceme

• Tex-cess. Welcome to The Austin Morning News.

  All this? Because of one game a year in our zip code? Seems a tad much. Okay, we get it. Dallas’ Only Daily is hitching its downsized wagon to the Texas Longhorns. Again. I often accuse Dallas of being not a sports town, but a winners town. I have to say the same about our media. Myself included. When in doubt, I admit, I'll usually find a topic more riveting than the Texas Rangers because, well, they suck. But what the Morning News does when it comes to UT is almost criminal

• The Top 10 Best Current Rivalries in Sports

  Tonight's the next chapter in one of sports' best rivalries. That's right, I said best.To be a true sports rivalry - more than just a plethora of games between teams in close proximity (see Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals) - the meetings between opponents must: *Take place at an advanced level, with championships on the line. *Feature sustained excellence by both teams over a period of time. *Include some form of contentiousness, be it physical alternations or trash-talking

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Dallas Police Chief David Kunkel can apologize all he wants for the indefensible actions of Robert Powell, but unless the officer is fired it will be a complete and utter injustice. Powell, who detained, lectured and threatened NFL running back Ryan Moats despite the player's mother-in-law dying as he spoke, in no way should make a living that requires/allows him to use a gun. Kudos to Moats - wh

  Ball hog.Let's see, last week we had 60 mph winds, golf ball-sized hail, 80-degree days and 20-degree wind chills. Now, extrapolating the absurdity, the Texas Rangers are displaying genuine optimism. In this turvy topsy world, could these signs be the beginning of the end? Or merely a small, irrelevant part of a incomprehensively humungous middle? Apocalypse? Or average? Not to resurrect Bible Girl by going all Bible Boy on you, but our country's economic times, the ex

In September's Arbitron PPM ratings - I hear, by the way, that only 1,400 meters are used to garner these numbers - The Ticket remains the No. 1 station among Men 25-54 with a 7.7. Way down the list is ESPN Radio at 3.0 (13th) and further down 105.3 The Fan at 2.1 (22nd). I'll let Dallas' Only Daily's Barry H
