• Jose Juan Barea Actually Helps Mavs Win a Game

  I've been rough on the Mavs' J.J. Barea.For being no taller than me. For looking like the runner-up in the Minyard ball boy contest.And for being the miniature version of Shawn Bradley. As in, you can't take any team seriously that gives him quality minutes.But lookie here, the little fella just made a big impact.

• What's In My Closet? Horrible Ideas Edition

  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! Got me to thinking. And scrounging. What are some of the other worst ideas in Dallas history? Parti

• Mavericks' Free Agency: Kidd Returning, Polish Hammer Looming

  The Mavs are Pole dancing. Got your $1s ready? We can no longer confuse the Dallas Mavericks' silence with inactivity. Let's hope we never confuse Marcin Gortat with the franchise's legacy of Great White Nopes. The Mavericks last night agreed to re-sign 36-year-old point guard Jason Kidd to a three-year, $25 million contract and inched closer to landing a new starting center as the Orlando Magic seem unwilling to match their offer for the 6-foot-11 Gortat. After a week on t

The answer hurts: Oprah. *Sure smells like the Dallas Mavericks - who lost Marcin Gortat at the altar - are going to start the 2009-10 season with Erick Dampier jumping center. Can we possibly take them seriously? *On consecutive nights at Rangers Ballpark, the Red Sox ba

• Bang For Your Buck? The Worst Contracts in the History of Dallas/Fort Worth That I Can Think Off the Top of My Head.

  ​Jerry Jones signing DeMarcus Ware to a 6-year, $78 million contract is probably going to pay off in the long room. Ware is a good person, a great player and - barring something terribly unforeseen - a decent bargain. One thing Jerry's proven over his tenure is that he isn't afraid to overpay - for anything from players to stadiums. But it got me to thinking: Other than the two knuckleheads that inexplicably handed me paying gigs, what are the worst deals ever done in this area?
