Tony Romo + Golf = Bad Decision?

Last time we saw Tony Romo in action he was sprawled out on his back October 25 at Cowboys Stadium, victim of a vicious sack that resulted in a broken collar bone. Eventually placed on injured reserve, Romo missed the Cowboys’ final 10 games of the disastrous season. Even though he’s…

New Dallas Cowboys’ Defensive Coordinator: Buddy’s Boy

Is it kosher to like the son but loathe the dad? As in Andre and Mike Agassi. Luke and Bill Walton. Stewie and Peter Griffin. Good, then bring on new Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. And may his father, Buddy, suffer from eternal gas. Rob is the twin brother of…

Great News: Josh Hamilton Out of Hospital

After a weird, scary ordeal that started with him being admitted to the hospital with early pneumonia and then kept longer than anticipated despite “significant improvement,” Texas Rangers’ outfielder and American League MVP Josh Hamilton was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon. The thing was handled strangely by the Rangers from…

Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Jerry Jones is desperate to break the Super Bowl attendance record, set at the Rose Bowl back in 1980. To do so, he needs to pack 104,000 into Cowboys Stadium. Or…

Kim Kardashian Dumps Dallas Dudes, But Comes Back for Super Bowl XLV?

In the past year — in the wake of Reggie Bush — Kim Kardashian has dated Dallas athletes Miles Austin, the Cowboys’ receiver, and then Kris Humpries, who played briefly for the Mavericks. Apparently she hasn’t, after all, moved on to Kanye West. While hotties like Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker and Pamela Anderson…

Rooney Rule or Not, Jason Garrett Needs to Hire a Black Receivers Coach

This isn’t shtick in advance of Monday’s annual observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It’s about the Dallas Cowboys’ locker room chemistry out at Valley Ranch. Ray Sherman was a respected voice and, at times, yes, a coddling sounding board among the team’s black players. Now that he’s gone, new…

Josh Hamilton Showing Significant Improvement?

Yes there’s a question mark in that headline, because — as always — I’m a little confused. On Tuesday we got this press release from your Texas Rangers about star slugger and American League Most Valuable Player Josh Hamilton: Arlington, Texas–Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was diagnosed on Monday with…

TCU: Tremendous Class Undeterred

Mark Cuban wants to fix the BCS. And, via its voting, so do college football writers and coaches. Despite not getting a chance to play for a national championship, undefeated TCU received three No. 1 votes from the media and one from a coach in Tuesday’s final college football polls…

Uh-Oh, the American League MVP is in the Hospital

You hear that Josh Hamilton has been hospitalized with pneumonia and what’s the first thing you think? Yep, relapse. Can’t help it. A guy with that kind of history of drug abuse who fell violently and infamously off the wagon two years ago and who still can’t partake in a celebratory beer…

The Best Runs in the History of the Dallas Cowboys

Marshawn Lynch’s amazing touchdown run last weekend got me to thinking about the best runs I’ve seen by a Dallas Cowboy. I found three, by three very different running backs. (Though none of them tops Earl Campbell’s doozy.)…

Cowboys, Mavs, Rangers, Stars All Searching for Help in 2011

Texas Rangers – Jim Thome. The left-handed slugging free agent would, I assume, join Michael Young for a righty-lefty platoon designated hitter. I know Thome is a sexy name with some pop left in his bat, just not real sure where he fits in. Dallas Mavericks – Dirk Nowitzki. The signing…

Auburn 22, Oregon 19: My Top 10 Observer-ations

10. Cam Newton = Overrated. I take it back. He ain’t better than Vince Young was at Texas. 9. Sure he’s corny at times, but I love me some “Big Game” Brent Musburger. 8. Props to Auburn coach Gene Chizik for running a play to wind the clock down and…

Look Who’s NOT Coming to Dallas for Super Bowl XLV

After a wildly entertaining weekend of the NFL playoffs, the following will not be playing in Arlington on February 6: *Michael Vick *Peyton Manning *Who Dat?! *The Dallas-born Kansas City Chiefs Despite intriguing story lines being buried, that was some damn skippy football. Three wins by road teams and the 7-9…

Whitt’s End: 1.7.11

Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *If Bill Parcells fit too snug and Wade Phillips was a size too loose, Jason Garrett fits juuuuust right. *Maybe I’m naive and gullible and biased in favor of Garrett, but until…

Is Vince Young the Biggest Waste of Talent in NFL History?

When Vince Young singlehandedly beat USC in the 2005 BCS National Championship Game, he climaxed a sparkling college legacy and seemingly paved his way to NFL stardom. But with yesterday’s announcement by Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams that Young would be traded or released, Young officially became a bust. As…

The Texas Rangers Are Better, But Who’s Gonna Talk About ‘Em?

So now that the Texas Rangers have a hitter (Adrian Beltre) and a pitcher (Brandon Webb), they’ve got one more important hole to fill this off-season: Television play-by-play voice. Remember just before Game 5 of the ALDS, the Rangers announced they weren’t bringing back nine-year veteran Josh Lewin. Not just saying…
