I could get my premature Scrooge on and predict that Pacman Jones showing up at last night's Mavericks-Pacers game is a precursor to him - surprise! - eschewing voluntary house arrest to ultimately find more trouble. But I won't do that. Not today. On Thanksgiving eve let's just be thankful that Pacman has zero chance of screwing up tomorrow's win over Seattle that should continue a tasty trend that has seen Dallas go 25-14-1 all-time on Turkey Day, including 5-2 on Fox.
Was just over on Unfair Park reading Schutze's take on the latest missle fired into the hull of the Trinity River Toll Road Waste Of Time Project.
From the city that gave us the CueCat, plastic dividers on HOV lanes and P.C. Cobb Stadium downgraded into an InfoMart, this might be our dumbest idea ever. After 11 years, now we're saddled with another 20-month, $29 million delay. Brilliant!

Well, I lied. I won't sit well with Beaubois without pre-conditions. You?
I know the French guard has long arms and mad hops - yes, it's very weird that his YouTube highlight video is set to a song by Michael Jackson - but here's
No. 12 in your football program ... No. 12 on our fantasy roster.When I say No. 22, who comes to mind?
Do you immediately think of the Dallas Cowboys' all-time best runner? Or their all-time best rusher? Or perhaps instead the second-leading all-time scorer in the history of the Dallas Mavericks?
The quest is to attach a Dallas/Fort Worth player to every sports uniform 0-99. A fantasy roster, if you will.
The criterion for determining which local athlete "owns" a specific number is as
