  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *First things first. If you plan to see this movie, or even think it looks remotely entertaining, please, leave these premises immediately. *Nothing official yet (UPDATE: Now it's official), but I hear Eric Nadel's new broadcast partner in the Texas Rangers' radio booth will be former Mavs' voice Dave Barnett. Which, to me, would be a splendid choice. *Toldja. *Dallas Stars' icon Mike Modano earned h

• The Top 10 Announcers in Dallas Sports History

  In retrospect, Ole Miss and Texas Tech are merely above-average college football teams. Their little clash in Dallas last week, however, was called by two of this area's icons of announcing. Though he's looked better, it was good to see Pat Summerall working the game on TV. And on radio - with his primary team's season short-circuited - there was the legendary Brad Sham. Hearing those two got me to thinking about the best voices in Dallas sports history. Then turning on the new Baseball Networ

• FM, No Static at All For Your Texas Rangers

  Eric Nadel, greatest local sports broadcaster everAt freaking last. The Texas Rangers announced this afternoon that for the first time in the team's history, game broadcasts will be available on the FM side of your radio dial -- at least, weekday games have gone high fidelity. So says the media release announcing KRLD-FM (105.3, The Fan) as the new (part-time) home of the Rangers. You can expect about to hear Eric Nadel and newly announced play-by-playmate Dave Barnett about 110 times on The Fan

• So ... Will the Sheets Hit The Fan?

  With the New York Mets signing Oliver Perez, the Texas Rangers' chances of landing free-agent pitcher Ben Sheets just got stronger. Likewise, their radio signal for 2009 is also beefed up. The announcement that Rangers' weekday games will be broadcast on 105.3 The Fan means that 110 of Texas' 162 will be in crystal clear, high-definition radio on a 100,000-watt signal that can be heard from Waco beyond the Red River. KRLD 1080 AM, which has broadcast the Rangers' games on its 50,000-watt si

• Play Ball! 5 Players the Rangers Need to Have a Good Spring Training

  Spring has sprung. Look out your window. And turn on your radio. Not only is it supposed to hit 80 degrees here today, but the Texas Rangers make their Spring Training debut on new weekday home 105.3 The Fan in, oh, about three hours. I know yesterday was the unofficial official opener in Arizona and I realize the Rangers have already crashed three homers, but there's nothing like Eric Nadel in the afternoon to announce the door has finally been slammed on winter.

• The Top 10 All-Time Texas Rangers in the History of Ever

  Very cool moment last night: The greatest player in Texas Rangers history - now a Houston Astro - smacks a 5th-inning homer and receives a standing ovation. Stay classy, Arlington. On a day when Toby Harrah and Ruben Sierra were elected into the Rangers' Hall of Fame, Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez reminded us that he is the best player to ever wear a Texas uniform. Right? During his short stint as the franchise's best thrower - I said thrower, not pitcher - Nolan Ryan may have been a smidge m

  Judge Sharon Keller​Yesterday's Austin American-Statesman provided a lengthy sneak preview of Judge Sharon Keller's defense in advance of her August 17 special trial: The Greenhill and SMU grad is going to claim the defense attorneys lied, maybe just a little but maybe a whole lot, about having computer problems on September 25, 2007, that now-infamous day during which she refused to keep the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals open past 5 p.m. in order to receive their last-minute appeal on behal

  ​Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *93.3 FM - the station formerly known as The Zone, The Bone, Quality Rock and who knows what all else - has for the last day or so been "stunting." That is, playing nonsense in advance of flipping formats. My station - 105.3 - played college fight songs ahead of changing from Live to The Fan back in December. Today at Noon we'll find out what's in store for 93.3. Maybe a simple switch to s
