I’m starting to think Dallas Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams is just kind of kooky. The Hook ’em Horns sign after rare touchdowns. The game-day Michael Jackson outfits. The, um, contradictory quotes. Williams was at his nonsensical best yesterday at Valley Ranch, telling reporters in the same breath that the Cowboys had no…
With our alternative to the BCS offered up, nothing else to do than to let it play out. Food expert/football junkie Dave Faries, take it away … Given its record in other matters, it’s unlikely Congress can solve the BCS mess and put in place a viable playoff system. And…
With his decision to sell the Texas Rangers to Pittsburgh sports attorney Chuck Greenberg, long-time owner Tom Hicks will willingly, yet grudgingly step into the shadows of Metroplex baseball. But how will he be perceived? While Greenberg, 48, and his group seek approval from Major League Baseball, Hicks might actually…
That question, of course, is a trick ’em, dick ’em way of telling you – psst! – here’s what’s on my list. What I don’t want in my stocking this Christmas: Coal. A Snuggie. Tiger Woods’ sloppy seconds. Swine Flu. Wade Phillips’ resume. What has caught me eye this season…
As I’ve said since since, oh, I dunno, last January, this Dallas Cowboys’ season was doomed the moment owner Jerry Jones decided to bring back head coach Wade Phillips. There were times when his promises to be tougher and hold players more accountable almost tricked me, but ultimately this Cowboys’ season -…
Like the BCS, style points count. So do geeky, black-and-white stats such as touchdowns and quarterback rating. Wins and losses? Definitely. Leadership? Uh-huh. When it comes to my weekly NFL Quarterback Rankings – if I had one of those little encircled R’s to signify a trademarked idea, it’d go here – the…
Okay, so now what? Blame long-snapper L.P. Ladouceur? Said owner Jerry Jones after Sunday’s loss to the Chargers, “I don’t believe we’ve got a holder problem.” Well mutha-effin’-duh! Now do you see what a folly it is for the Cowboys to be the first team in NFL history to blame a…
Question: Can you get divorced if you’re not married? Answer: Yes, according to Pugs & Kelly. Yes you can. Unless there’s a last-minute reconciliation ongoing as we speak, Pugs will go on the air today at 1 on 1360 AM without long-time sidekick Kelly. Why? Because, in short, they had a…
I don’t wanna hear much bitchin’ today about offensive coordinator Jason Garrett’s play-calling on the futile, fatal sequence in the second quarter of Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the San Diego Chargers. Yeah, four consecutive runs to Marion Barber didn’t produce a touchdown. But … I blame the performance, not the plan…
10. Now you believe me? Norv Turner > Wade Phillips. 9. Safety Gerald Sensabaugh picked a horrible time to have his first terrible game as a Cowboy. It was his oops that led to both Chargers’ touchdowns: Interference at the 1 on a reverse pass set up San Diego’s first touchdown; Badly beaten…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *You heard it here first back in October as a sorta be-on-the-lookout rumor. Now it’s more solid, as in, Michael Irvin’s days on 103.3 FM ESPN are numbered. Radio industry sources…
1. The Texas Rangers trading Kevin Millwood for Chris Ray, then pursuing Rich Harden and Mike Lowell. 2. Dallas Mavericks’ forward Tim Thomas getting involved in a debacle at Denny’s. 3. Your Dallas Cowboys considering Tony Romo as their new/old holder…
Dallas Cowboys’ offensive lineman Flozell Adams has been fined four times for $75,000 this season for the transgressions of tripping, fighting and – last Sunday in New York – cheap-shotting the back of Justin Tuck. The Giants’ lineman called Adams a “coward” and a “dirtbag”. Former Giant and Fox analyst Michael Strahan…
The only thing that could make this any more creepyweirdfunny is if it was hand-delivered by a cleaveage-baring dragon wearing a Jim Kern jersey whilst talking in a sing-songy Australian accent. I get some crazy stuff. Nothing beats this one. In my mailbox at the Dallas Observer yesterday I got…
For me, it arrived November 18, 1984. Born, raised and saturated with the DNA of the Dallas Cowboys, I was profoundly distraught over a lackluster loss to the lowly Buffalo Bills on a sad Sunday afternoon. Downtrodden bordering on depressed, a buddy and I ventured to lift our spirits at…
Nor the best. But as tribute, theme jingles go, um … it’s one of them…
Guess they’re testing it for the Texas-North Carolina hoops game Dec.19 at Cowboys Stadium. Either that, or I’ll betcha $1 that Mat McBriar hits JumboJerry Sunday against the San Diego Chargers…
I wish Fox Sports Southwest did more of these because they’re usually pretty damn good. If his 33 points and 8 rebounds in last night’s victory over the Phoenix Suns merely left you wanting more of Dirk Nowitzki, tune in to FSSW Friday at 10 p.m. for In My Own…

Norv Turner. You know, the guy who coaches the San Diego Chargers. The guy whose team has won seven in a row this year and is 10-0 in December under him. The guy who is 4-2 in the playoffs. Ring a bell? Dallas Cowboys fans, you heard your head coach…
If you’re one of those who doesn’t believe in the theory of “credit where credit is due”, and who thinks principles like “ownership” and “theft” are antiquated ideals better left behind in a kinder, gentler, softer era, please stop reading. Now. If you have a tendency to respond with “Dudn’t matter!” or “Who cares?”,…
Actually, it’s not confounding defeats to the Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks that has Cuban peeved, but more so tonight’s American Airlines Center invasion by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). (This is, after all, a blog named after an old rasslin’ barn.) Cuban, never one to turn down some theatrics or a spotlight,…
