Got a buddy who is Cowboys’ season-ticket holder. One of the privileges is getting first dibs at all the events – not just NFL games – at the sparking, billion-dollar joint. So he buys four tickets on the 50 to last month’s Oklahoma-BYU game. Cost him $1,200, and he sells them…
10. Fox’s Pam Oliver stinks. While she was busy reading some shallow, pre-orchestrated featurette, we went three series before learning that Gerald Sensabaugh was out with a bum thumb. And though Marion Barber played just one snap in the second half, we never received an update. 9. Not only is Kyle…
On our midday show at 105.3 The Fan, I nervously asked Jerry Jones this morning if he had, um, seen the video of two fans “christening” Cowboys Stadium last Monday night in Arlington. After joking that he had called several committee meetings to investigate the situation, Jones simply said: “Yes. …..
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Former Carter High School star Michael Crabtree may not be a bad guy, but he’s following some horrible advice. Friend of a friend of Crabtree tells me that he and the 49ers…
See that? Over there. To your right? That’s not the money you could be saving with GEICO. It’s the money you lost last year betting with Richie Whitt. But, alas, in the spirit of persistence, stubborness and doubling down, we’re back at it again in 2009. I owe it to…
Let’s see, your Dallas Mavericks have a star with longer hair and a lighter mood. They have a free Fan Jam Friday night at 7 at American Airlines Center. And, lookie here, they have an opening at a key position – public address announcer. With long-time voice Humble Billy Hayes moving…
Catch the ball. Shut your mouth. It’s really not that difficult. Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams is becoming a Terrell Owens starter kit, in every way. First he dropped what should have been a touchdown pass in last week’s win over Carolina. And now he’s questioning his role on the team. Oh…
Coming – ESPN/Dallas. Familiar names from Dallas’ Only Daily like Tim MacMahon and Richard Durrett are now corporate bloggers. Going – Inside Corner. Franchise founder Evan Grant is leaving to return to the Morning News. Staying – Sportatorium. Est. 2006…
Okay, that’s long enough. Now, what happened? A season that began with that three-game sweep of Cleveland way back in April and held our interest until mid-September is closing with an all too familiar whimper – meaningless games in October for the 10th consecutive year. With their loss to the…
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…
Stays in Comes all the way back to Dallas. I didn’t wake up with a tooth missing or a tiger in my hotel bathroom. But only one – that’s right, one – of the following did not happen during my 4-day excursion to Las Vegas. Venture a guess?…
10. Welcome to the NFL, Victor Butler. Mind if Anthony Spencer borrows your directions? 9. Despite playing without Marion Barber and losing Felix Jones early in the second half, the Cowboys and Tashard Choice (82 yards) rushed for 212 yards in the 14-point win. They’ve now produced consecutive 200-yard-plus rushing…
As he’s done (almost) every year since 1977, Brad Sham will tonight show up before kickoff to call a Dallas Cowboys game on radio. But Sham has never arrived quite like this. The only “Voice of the Cowboys” I ever remember will be accompanied by a police escort en route…
Imagine the Byron Nelson Pavilion on steroids. And ecstasy. Then, about every 10 minutes, a fight breaks out. Welcome to Ultimate Fighting Championship 103, better known as the best place to see bullies, boobs, brawls and good ol’ blood on a Saturday night in Dallas. Scooch a bit, boxing. “Boxing,”…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Just because I’m off to Vega$, I won’t deprive you guys of the only two things you really appreciate on this blog …..
Get out your rotten fruit and prepare those ridiculous “this station will be gone by sundown” barbs, because today – finally – I bring you 105.3 The Fan’s final roster. As you may have noticed, it wasn’t easy. I’ve been polluting the air waves more off than on since January and…
Since I’m technically on vacation, allow me to make this short and sweet, and visual. First, I spent my afternoon watching college football and, you guessed it, eating some cooked pig. Yes, that’s a Coors Light can in its mouth and, yes, the guy who prepared the pig (the secret,…
10. Lots to like about Cowboys Stadium tonight. Blue star finally on the field. Ring of Honor unveiled. Rhythm & Blues dancers – in Jetsons-like silver space outfits – dancing on podium poles high above the highest level. But apparently the pre-game guest wasn’t among among the highlights. Former prez…
Turns out Brandon Jacobs was right. Maybe the Dallas Cowboys should’ve picked the Detroit Lions for their nationally televised lid-lifter Sunday night at Cowboys Stadium. But certainly, according to Jerry Jones, they could’ve. Instead, Jones admitted to Newy Scruggs and I minutes ago on 105.3 The Fan that he did indeed pinpoint the…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope of merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Heard The Ticket was making a patented “major announcement” today. First reaction: It’s moving Dallas Stars night games to a better signal, likely Cumulus brethren 93.3 FM or even 570 AM. But…
See that? Over there. To your right? That’s not the money you could be saving with GEICO. It’s the money you lost last year betting with Richie Whitt. But, alas, in the spirit of persistence, stubborness and doubling down, we’re back at it again in 2009. I owe it to…
Times are tough. Jobs are scarce, money’s tight and our sports teams haven’t lifted a championship trophy since 1999. We temporarily interrupt this recession depression for some good news, wrapped in an employment opportunity. The NBA’s new Frisco Developmental League (D-League) franchise is holding a job fair this afternoon Noon-2 p.m. at…
