Greg Williams is a recovering addict. Wednesday was one of those bad days. Friday he’ll be back on the air with Richard Hunter. Hopefully it will be a good day. “Yesterday he was a little off,” Hunter said during his show on Rational Radio 1360 AM moments ago. “But we…
Bless Greg Williams. The guy, as you know, has a history. Now, alongside Richard Hunter on Rational Radio 1360 AM, he has a second third chance. We’ve heard him wacko before. Yesterday afternoon … I dunno – you tell me. He arrived late. Fumbled with his headphones. Gave out The Ticket’s phone number. Apparently…
Dared to mingle with the younger, hipper, more talented crowd at The Granada last night and bumped into: *Martellus Bennett, who hopped up on staged and rapped like three songs. (Famous brother in tow.) *Mike Modano. (Famous wife in tow.) *Joey Greco. (Famous Cheaters crew in tow.) For what it’s worth, my…
To quote the great Eddie Izzard, “The problem with America? You fuckers keep tearing down your history, man!” Stubborn answer: Progress. Grim reality: Sadness. I remember a kinder, gentler era in Dallas when as a little punk I’d peer out the family Fury along I-35 and gaze in wonder at The…
Let’s see, what went down on the dial while I was ransacking the craps table at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas? *Weird story about Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Not that he’s accused of sexual assault. That happens. The bizarre twist is that ESPN – your worldwide leader – has…
Chicks dig the long ball. We all love the fireworks. But nobody is connected to home runs like your Texas Rangers. I know they have 20 sacrifice bunts, 78 stolen bases and a committment to try and manufacture runs this season, but in the end – same as it ever was -…
Lots of stuff hit the Internet while I was on vacation. Let’s play some peek-a-boo catch-up, shall we? ERIN ANDREWS I can’t legally directly link to the Erin Andrews video – you know the one – but I can say that I saw it last week at a site that rhymed with…
I guess there was some drama involved, but don’t tell me you’re totally surprised that the winner of Spike TV and Michael Irvin’s 4th and Long is – ta-da! – a Michael Irvin clone. Jesse Holley has the size (6-foot-3), speed (4.5) and smile of Irvin, and now he has a…
Just received an email from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban regarding the lawsuit filed against him by former owner Ross Perot Jr. I’ve covered the Mavs during both regimes and just let me say unequivocally that in any fight – fist, financial or basketball IQ – I’m siding with Cuban. In my earlier post I…
Just as Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban is finishing his jig in the wake of beating an insider trading charge from the Securities & Exchange Commission, today comes another legal pothole. This one from the guy who sold him the Mavericks. Hillwood Center Partners, which is controlled by Ross Perot Jr., filed…
Ok, where were we? … Ah-ha! Right here. While I was out actually winning some money in Las Vega$, playing some horrible golf and getting some rest in advance of Dallas Cowboys’ training camp in San Antonio, last week on vacation I did make time to catch Channel 8’s “candid” and…
Now that Tony Romo is done with his girlfriend, his golfing and his goofs, hopefully he can start concentrating on his gift: A new wide receiver. While I was out on vacation, the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback dumped Jessica Simpson, created a buzz with this extremely unfunny video and finished second in…
He giveth (Jonestown Coliseum). He taketh away (Terrell Owens). Not that it’s a push, but for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it is status quo. For the third time in the list’s four-year history, the ol’ oil wildcatter has rambled and gambled his way to the top of the Dallas…
Honestly, I thought the guy was gonna walk. I’m shocked he took a plea today. I mean, “no contest” is a sort of an admission of guilt, right? To me, this smells like Russ and Mandy – who were reconciled for months – having a very recent falling out and him fearing…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *With the way the Texas Rangers have played and the way Andruw Jones and Elvis Andrus and Darren O’Day have performed, Jon Daniels gets my vote for MLB Executive of the…
I put a Dallas Cowboys’ source in a Happy Hour headlock last night in an attempt to – as promised – try to get a name on the new P.A. voice of Cowboys Stadium. No luck. “Just remember,” the source cautioned, “CBS owns more stations than just The Fan in this…
I’ve answered the “Where’s Greggo?” inquisition over and over and over. But what of Russ Martin? At one time he was the No. 1 radio voice in this market. The first half of this decade 105.3’s Russ Martin Show and The Ticket’s Hardline battled for supremacy amongst male listeners in afternoon…
Didn’t hear this myself, but several P1s are telling me today that ol’ buddy George Dunham announced yesterday on The Ticket that he is no longer the public address voice of the Dallas Cowboys. Long the P.A. voice at Texas Stadium, Dunham said he was personally relieved of his duties…
On the heels of being one-hit by somebody named Chad Gaudin and losing the opener of a series in Arlington, I wondered aloud if the Texas Rangers would ever see first place in the AL West this season. Answer: Yes. Since then they have won seven of eight, including last…
Take the White Out to yesterday’s speculative depth chart and dust off Laura Miller’s old parade plans, your Dallas Mavericks just signed … drum roll … Quintin Ross! Starred at Kimball High School. Starred at SMU. Starred at Bounced around the NBA. I’ll let the Mavs trumpet his arrival: Ross…
Like it did with you, all these recent deaths – Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Alexis Arguello, Steve McNair and Best Damn Sports Show – got me to thinking about my own mortality. Today, the day I celebrate turning halfway to 90, I thought I’d dip my toe in the deep,…
Talked yesterday afternoon to David McDavid , he of the best odds to buy the Texas Rangers from Tom Hicks. Nothing definitive, but the auto tycoon has cooled slightly on the idea of owning our baseball team to the point where he said he is – for now – “leaning against…
