It took all of three plays – without pads, mind you – to see the full Dez Bryant package. As last season officially melted into this season, the Dallas Cowboys held OTAs (Organized Team Activities) out at Valley Ranch. Their rookie receiver, as expected, dazzled. A burst of escape off the…

What the what? I was listening to the Texas Rangers Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays and I left them in what I thought was good shape. Up 9-3 in the third inning. Rich Harden on the mound. Bats seemingly alive. Done. Then, yesterday afternoon, I got back around…

Granted, he’s a better player. Better defender. Better passer. Yeah, a better player. But after last week’s second-round playoff flameout by the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James isn’t a more accomplished player than our own Dirk Nowitzki. Consider: Both have MVPs. Both have led teams to the best record in the…

Let’s face it, Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams pops off like a No. 1 but produces like a No. 3. Latest example: Asked yesterday at the team’s golf outing at Cowboys Golf Club about incoming rookie receiver Dez Bryant, Williams was defiant, if not in total denial. I know people…

Another weird game at Rangers Ballpark last night: *Something I’ve never seen: With Ian Kinsler caught dead along the third-base line during an aborted steal of home, Oakland A’s starter Gio Gonzalez panicked and half-balked, half-wild-pitched him home with a crazy ass throw well wide of the out-of-his-crouch catcher. Saw…

One arrived from Minnesota in 1993, the other from Germany in 1999. In the spring of 2010, they both played what may have been their last games in Dallas. In between, Mike Modano and Dirk Nowitzki not only carved national Hall of Fame legacies, they altered the way we locals…

​I like Ron Washington. Really do. It’s just that I … Hey, if this feels/sounds like deja vu all over again it’s because it is. Bottom line: I honestly don’t think the Texas Rangers’ manager is good enough to go with his gut instincts. I’m a quirky, color-outside-the-lines guy, but in…

With Phil Mickelson out and Tiger Woods out and golf pretty much dead, this year’s HP Byron Nelson Classic in Irving May 20-23 will be much ado about nothing The Pavilion. What’s new, right? That could change, if the dudes in red pants would think outside their yellow-roped box and give an exemption…

The Dallas Cowboys finally admitted Monday what we’ve all known for years: Bobby Carpenter is a blonde bust. Drafted 18th overall in 2006 before stars like Antonio Cromartie and Joseph Addai (thank you, Bill Parcells), Carpenter never carved a niche in Dallas. Too slow to play outside in the 3-4. Too finesse…

During his 1996 introductory press conference at Reunion Arena in which he bought the Dallas Mavericks from founding father Don Carter, Ross Perot Jr. offered a simple, serious question: “How many players are on the court?” And that, my friends, is all you need to know about the man trying to…

And now, for two facts that have never ever gone together in the past: 1. The Texas Rangers are 10th in the American League (out of 14 teams) in home runs. 2. The Texas Rangers have a winning record. I know. Weird. When the Rangers beat the woeful Kansas City…

I come bearing good news. In short:  … the consensus among NFL Network insiders and analysts is that there is no market for Terrell Owens at this point, and it will take a training camp injury to create his next job…
