• The Top 10 All-Time Dallas Cowboys

  At least we can all agree on No. 1. Right?From time to time I've been known  to construct a Top 10 list. But this one, I've got to tear apart. You're telling me there's a list of the Top 10 All-Time greatest Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones isn't on it? Altogether now: Bull. Shit. If NFL Network is merely trying to get the blogosphere all a Twitter via look-at-us controversy, mission accomplished. But if it's actually trying to capture the most important contributors to the almost 5

• Godspeed, My Holy Friend

  T-Minus five days until the final Dallas Cowboys' game at Texas Stadium. I have a vague recollection of climbing atop Dad's shoulders and watching Don Meredith toss bombs to Bob Hayes at the Cotton Bowl, but basically my life's screenplay starts in Texas Stadium.   Section 12. Row 24. Seat 8. For a 7-year-old punk, there was no better place on Earth than the 8-yard line, visitors' side. Pops thinks he secured the right to those seats via a bond that cost him a cool $300.

• The Top 10 Most Memorable Moments in the History of Grand Ol' Texas Stadium

    Fittingly, the stadium with the hole in the roof - so God could watch his favorite football team, duh - was christened by a 10-day Billy Graham crusade. A month later - Oct. 24, 1971 - Texas Stadium opened for Cowboys' business. Come Saturday night, the ol' joint at Loop 12 and Highway 114 in the armpit of Irving will embrace its last traffic jam. And perhaps provide one final indelible memory. After Cowboys-Ravens, the Cowboys will trot out 100 former players and coaches

  Larry Cole. Roger Staubach. Tony Hill. Pat Summerall. Tom Landry. Cowboys 35, Redskins 34 in 1979. They can take the Cowboys out of Texas Stadium, but they'll never take Texas Stadium out of the Cowboys. I still get goose bumps. - Richie Whitt

• Ann Margolin Leads the Pack As City's Finance Report Deadline Looms

  As we mentioned a while back, District 13 city council candidate Ann Margolin appeared to be the heir apparent to Mitchell Rasansky with a long list of notable supporters and a strong résumé. And as the 5 p.m. deadline approaches for candidates and committees to file their finance reports, Margolin's stock just took another spike as she's blowing everyone else away with $130,360 raised from July to December (more than twice as much as Mayor Tom), including 86 maximum contributions of $1,000 f

• Super Bowl XLV Getting Revved Up in Dallas, er Arlington, I Mean ... Fort Worth

  Ticket emcee Craig Miller was right. Cropped him right out.Enjoyed lunch today rubbing elbows with Pro Football Hall of Famers and pretending to be all casual and comfortable at the well-to-do Fort Worth Club. Reason? Don't know if you've heard, but Super Bowl XLV is coming to North Texas. According to the countown clock I was given, in fact, it arrives in 709 days, 20 days and 30 minutes. I sat at a table across from Roger Staubach, just down from Fort Worth Mayo

  Psst, hey buddy. Can I interest you in this Terrell Owens fake Cowboys' locker room name plate sticker affixed to my wall? Merrily I don't need thee anymore. What I will cling onto - perhaps forever - are artifacts I rescued from my closet from Cowboys who wouldn't look right in any colors but silver and blue. Like, for example ...

• Super Bowl XLV is All Hip and Tweety

  Apparently these guys are tweetin' back and forth. Who knew?Twiddling - or I should say Tweeddling - my thumbs until the 6 p.m. release of the NFL schedule and the unveiling of the Dallas Cowboys' path to 9-7, I stumbled upon a couple of things. 1. This year's NFL Draft is extraordinarily weak. (More on that later.) 2. The North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee is surprisingly hip. (More on that now, after the jump.)

  Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Looks like The Ticket's parent company - Cumulus Media - is asking forcing employees to take five unpaid days off before June 30. Ouch. Maybe not a big deal to on-air talent with six-figure salaries, but to office staff and board ops, etc., missing an entire week's pay is significant. Though the move is voluntary to on-air personnel, I hearby welcome any Ticket host to sp

  The Mavericks are gone. The Cowboys are in pre-pre-pre-training camp. The Rangers managed one measly hit against the Tigers. What to do with all this new-found free time? I know, let's read! Given a hammock, a cold beverage and 3 expendable hours, which one would you crack open?

• Do Two Rights Make a Wrong? (Cornerback, That Is)

  Wonder if Orlando will be as cool as Craig? ​Back in 1971 a genius named Tom Landry decided it was a swell idea to alternate quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Craig Morton - on every friggin' play. But after his Dallas Cowboys bumbled along at 4-3, the coach decided on Staubach full-time and, well, you know, the rest is Super Bowl VI history. Almost 40 years later Wade Phillips is trying the same stunt, only with cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick alternating starts inste

• Texas Stadium: Rest in Peace. Er, Pieces.

  Don't know if I'll be able to watch when Texas Stadium's memories are reduced to mush.​Spent yesterday afternoon out at Cowboys Stadium, where about 30 mayors - from Southlake to Sunnyvale - convened for an update as to the goings-on about Super Bowl XLV. By the way, 445 days and counting ... I was there hounding Roger Staubach about an upcoming Dallas Observer cover story and, to be honest, I'm never comfortable in a room with that many politicians. But I did have an interesting chat w

• "There's a Future There": Why Roger Staubach Wants a Piece of Your Texas Rangers

  SPORTMag.us​Late yesterday Tom Hicks made it clear: He intends to keep majority ownership of the Texas Rangers, despite all that danged debt. Three would-be buyers have already traipsed through Arlington to meet with Jon Daniels and Nolan Ryan, more parties may join the fray before the deadline, but Hicks ain't about to give up the franchise without a fight. Which is why he's invited Roger Staubach, who once owned a teensy piece of the team when Dubya was co-owner, back to the ballpark. Not in
