Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Might Michael Irvin’s days at ESPN Radio be numbered? This isn’t sourced “breaking news”, but more so a simple putting two-and-two together and arriving at a common sense conclusion. And, no,…
Only three years ago? Seems like a thousand heartbreaks since doesn’t it?…
The only drama: When his Orlando Magic are dismantled by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, will Dwight Howard shake hands or pull a LeBrat James? We all wanted Kobe vs. LeBron. Instead, starting with tonight’s Game 1, we got ourselves a sweep. It’s a nice story that the…
It was a routine play, pulled off with such balance, power and elegance that it was anything but routine. And when the RoughRiders’ 19-year-old shortstop completed turning his half of the double-play, I turned to Frisco play-by-play voice Scott Garner and said: “The first time he steps on the field…
When I heard Channel 8 sports anchor Dale Hansen was taking off the entire month of June, I was jealous. Then a little concerned. We all know Dale plays golf and poker and hookie with the best of them – seems like he was off all of April, too -…
This can’t be good. As the Texas Rangers reached the 50-game mark on June 1, star outfielder Josh Hamilton was hitting .240 with only six home runs while spending time on the disabled list with injured ribs and a sore groin. First baseman Chris Davis was on pace to become…
This morning I wrote that you can never ever trust Vicente Padilla. Now, you won’t have to. The Texas Rangers this afternoon requested outright waivers on the bean-balling, inconsistent, free-agent-to-be pitcher…
I’m sure he’ll have more to say when he arrives in town later this month for his annual summer camps down in Duncanville, but former Dallas Cowboys’ receiver Terrell Owens talked a little about his former team this week with 105.3 The Fan host Greg Hill. The raw, unedited audio…
If Tom Hicks can be a cash-strapped customer at the pawn shop, can it also happen to Jerry Jones? I know, sounds ridiculous. And the notion is likely just that – ridiculous. But the economic crunch is certainly in play with him, like the rest of us. Consider: *The Cowboys…
Guaranteed your Tuesday was better than the Texas Rangers. Josh Hamilton back on the disabled list. Another reminder why they can never ever trust Vicente Padilla. Allowed a 7-run inning to the Yankees, biggest against them all season. Even TV analyst Tom Grieve suffered a hamstring cramp during the telecast. Oh yeah,…
Was just over on Unfair Park reading Schutze’s take on the latest missle fired into the hull of the Trinity River Toll Road Waste Of Time Project. From the city that gave us the CueCat, plastic dividers on HOV lanes and P.C. Cobb Stadium downgraded into an InfoMart, this might be…
Not real sure about The Dirty. Who is this “Nik”? What is a “Shim”? Isn’t it a little way late to boast yourself as “the world’s first ever reality blogger”? Whatever. The site has some interesting pics. Don’tcha think so, Cristal?…
When it comes to your Texas Rangers, we’re about to find out. Starting tonight at Yankee Stadium, the Rangers play their next 13 games against baseball’s best teams – New York, the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. Each of those teams is at least five games above…
From time to time I’ve been known to construct a Top 10 list. But this one, I’ve got to tear apart. You’re telling me there’s a list of the Top 10 All-Time greatest Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones isn’t on it? Altogether now: Bull. Shit. If NFL Network is merely…
Two words sure to get the month off to a yip-uh-dee-doo-dah start: Free. Tickets. I have in my slimy lil’ hands four (4) tickets to any Grand Prairie AirHogs game this week. They host the hated Fort Worth Cats Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and, if I’m not mistaken, Saturday is Fireworks…
Since two girlfriends = one problem, the Dallas Stars have abruptly ended their dual general managers experiement. Out: Brett Hull/Les Jackson. In: Joe Nieuwendyk. Strange as it is to be talking hockey in June – unless, of course, you live in Detroit – the fact that owner Tom Hicks tried a…
Whether you’re at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt’s End: *Trust me, you’ll be elated if David McDavid buys the Texas Rangers. Biggest reason: His dream is not to make more money, but to own a championship sports franchise in the…
Okay, I admit, I’ve bungee-jumped and dived out of an airplane and dared to criticize Mark Cuban and I might even like to run with bulls some day. But I’ll be damned if I ever chase a wheel of cheese down one of the steepest pasture on God’s green Earth. Wow…
I’ve hinted at this name a couple of times in the wake of Tom Hicks defaulting on a loan, selling Mesquite Rodeo and generally looking for a bailout. But now let’s blurt it out unequivocally: David McDavid is interested in buying controlling interest of the Texas Rangers. “I have the ability and I have…
Sure the field isn’t as strong as this week’s Colonial and its reputation in PGA Tour circles is crumbling, but from what I witnessed last week the HP Byron Nelson Classic is alive, well and oblivious to any economic downturn or reluctance to party hearty. Thanks to The Pavilion, of course…
I’m all for lending a helping hand to paralyzed Dallas Cowboys’ scouting staffer Rich Behm. Pemieres. Galas. Fundraisers. Auctions. Columns. You name it. But I dunno, something about putting Tony Romo’s health at risk just doesn’t sit right. Tonight at 7 at Hebron High School a team of old Cowboys will play a…
Overheard at last week’s HP Byron Nelson Classic: Jesus effin’ Christ, didja see those? In other words, screw Tiger Woods. You, I and the tipsy woman with the low-cut top, high-rise bottom and oscillating morals know the truth: As long as it has The Pavilion, The Nelson doesn’t need Tiger…
