Not sure they’re exactly akin to LASIK eye surgery or Tommy John arm reconstruction, but I agree with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban that – at some point in our athletic evolution – there will be a legal, legitimate place for steroids in sports. “I’ll get killed for saying this,”…
The ESPN College GameDay crew—including analyst Lee Corso in a giant Bevo mascot head—was on hand last Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. So were Billy Bob Thornton, Peyton Manning, Mark Cuban, Big Tex, LeAnn Rimes, Roger Clemens, Fletcher and his corny dogs, fried everything and, of course, 104 years of…
Texas beats OU, even in the girls’ bathroom. And the delicious conclusion of Parts 2 and 3 …..
Gonna spend my Friday night ogling two of my favorites: Football ‘n Females. Been meaning to catch a Dallas Desire game this season, but lo and behold they only play two home games. The last one is Friday at 9 p.m. against the Los Angeles Temptation at Grand Prairie’s QuickTrip…
Jason Witten will never say it, so I’ll do it for him: Gimme the damn ball! Especially in the red zone!! I generally support Dallas Cowboys’ offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, but this is getting ridiculous. When the red-head calls plays in the red zone it makes Cowboys’ fans red-faced. Why? Because…
One is 24; the other 29. One is completing 64 percent of his passes with 9 touchdowns and 4 interceptions; the other 58 percent with a ratio of 6-to-4. One has a rating of 95; the other 86. One hails from a major college and is known as calm and…
Your favorite pinata may be ranked only 17th in NFL quarterback ratings, but Golf Digest says he’s the planet’s best athlete golfer. That’s right, No. 1. Swing away …..
I attempt to lift my pen peck my keyboard today with a heavy heart, and an empty stomach. For, alas, two staples of my life’s diet are no more. R.I.P., NIN. And Luby’s, 4:45 p.m. dinners will never taste the same. Trent Reznor, one of the most chaotic, rhythmic, unique and dark noisemakers…
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…
10. Went to Bruins 3, Stars 0 Friday night. First hockey game this season. Dallas didn’t look good, but the experience wasn’t half-bad. 9. If you haven’t been to American Airlines Center in a while, prepare to be dazzled. The four-sided HD video screens on the over-hanging scoreboard are fabulous. There are…
A tie may be like kissing your sister, but what Texas pulled off Saturday in the Cotton Bowl was akin to drunken, relapse sex with your ex. Sloppy. Ugly. Guilty. But yet, in the end somehow satisfying. A combined 29 points. Eight turnovers. Key plays made by two different No. 12s for the…
Just like that, 3-2 doesn’t look so bad. Bye not playing yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys got better. Head coach Wade Phillips got smarter. Tony Romo became more accurate. Their standing in the NFC greatly improved. Because while you were at the State Fair or sleeping off your Texas-OU hangover or enjoying…
What Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants, he usually gets. (Other than, obviously, a playoff win over the last 13 years.) And what Jerry has his eye on – long-term – is Texas-OU. The game – tomorrow’s kickoff is a ridiulously early 11 a.m. – is married to Dallas and the Cotton…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *According to my very unscientific research conducted on this very blog over the last two years, the most sensitive, whiny, irrational folks on Earth are: 1. Ticket P1s; 2. Right-wing Republicans;…
Dear Oklahoma, I am indeed a bitch. Sincerely, Karma Last year the Oklahoma Sooners were whipped by the Texas Longhorns in their annual mid-October showdown in the Cotton Bowl. Both teams lost one game all season, yet somehow – inexplicably – it was Oklahoma, through a discombobulated national computer ranking,…
Shake Weight. “All you do is shake it … back and forth.” Words can’t do this justice. But a couple come to mind after watching this video over and over and over … …
Every once in a while – not too often, I readily admit – when I smell shit it actually turns out to be shit. On Tuesday I labeled this Fox/Burger King collaboration the dumbest video in the history of ever. Don’t look now, but Fox/Burger King agree. In the form…

Both teams lost one game all season, yet somehow—inexplicably—it was Oklahoma, through a discombobulated national computer ranking, that was awarded the…
I’ve called him Stumbledoofus. I’ve labeled him Dead Man Coaching. I’ve questioned his moves, his non-moves, his dumpy demeanor and his illogical explanations for everything in between. But I am not calling for Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips to be fired before sundown. That will happen soon enough: As…

The Rangers season is over. The Rangers’ hitting coach career is also kaput. Not saying it he’s a bad coach. Just saying it’s time. The official release …..
Seems like the Texas Rangers season ended months ago doesn’t it? Don’t look now, but the cool kids are still playing baseball. The League Championship Series start this week with Angels-Yankees and Dodgers-Phillies. According to national TV ratings, you’re not looking at all – as Dallas/Fort Worth ranked 54th out…
