Toldja Michael Phelps wasn’t perfect. Well, didn’t I? Actually, I warned that he was overrated. But still. In other news, Richie Whitt = Jeff Spicoli as well. …

As Bob Hayes’ entangled family tree goes under the microscope and as the newspaper that for years has thrust Lucille Hester out front finally joins the investigation into the validity of her branch, one thing – and one thing only – has become clear: The world’s fastest human is quickly turning over…

Or, as the old Florida A&M college buddy and former business manager of newly minted Pro Football Hall of Fame member Bob Hayes says of Lucille Hester: “She’s a fake. A total perpetrator. She’s hoodwinked the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL, the Hall of Fame and the national media. But she isn’t…

You know those pigs that were raised by dogs so when they grew up they thought they were, well, dogs? Pacman Jones is a pig. I’ve been promised visual photographic evidence by my Sportatorium spies at some point, but for now we’ll go with eyewitness acounts from those who attended Dallas Cowboys’ safety Ken Hamlin’s…

Sorry I’m a little late this morning. Been glued to one of the greatest, longest tennis matches ever. The Fernando Verdasco-Rafael Nadal Australian Open semifinal that started at 2:30 a.m. our time just ended. In other news … Devin Harris is an NBA All-Star. Jason Kidd isn’t. Ouch. For Dallas Mavericks’…

Among the Dallas Cowboys’ many problems, let’s address this one this afternoon: Terrell Owens and Greg Ellis are captains. Let that sink in a second while I remind you that any team that annoints me-first guys as locker-room leaders is fatally flawed. We all know T.O.’s agenda. Now, Ellis is…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Your Texas Rangers have pitching problems. If you’re scoring at home, that’s two similar season-ending surgeries in one week. After top prospect and rotation candidate Eric Hurley underwent rotator cuff surgery last week, semi-reliable set-up man Joaquin Benoit had the same procedure…

“They treated us like we suck,and we’re the ones who’ve supported them through all these losing seasons.” They come bundled in coats, wrapped in hope and stuffed with gullibility. An annual rite of another cold, bleak winter, 5,000 stubborn baseball fans arrive at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington last Saturday for…

Don’t know how I missed it – maybe it’s because I’m from Duncanville – but Monday was the Chinese New Year. And 2009, as if you didn’t know, is the Year of the Ox. In the name of Wang Zhi-Zhi, what could that possibly mean for our Dallas Mavericks? *So…

One of our football coaches is headed to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa. Surprise, he has nothing to do with your Dallas Cowboys. I blogged, oh-so briefly, about Grapevine Faith’s Nov. 7 high-school game against the Gainesville State Tornadoes. Ring a bell? Rick Reilly’s terriffic ESPN The Magazine column is here. For…

Since there’s nothing to do today other than stay inside and pray for these glaciers of ice to somehow melt by Spring Break, let’s take a look at the Cowboys shall we? Remember what owner Jerry Jones said immediately after his team’s 44-6 season-ending loss in Philadelphia? I do. “Where…

Approximately 5,000 fans braved freezing temperatures and decades of losing at Saturday’s Rangers Fan Fest in Arlington. I was one of them. The highlights: *General manager Jon Daniels says he’s recently talked to shortstop third baseman Michael Young and that their relationship is on the mend. “If we have a 15-year marriage…

Not worthy of the “BREAKING NEWS” banner ‘cuz, really, you read this about three months ago. Remember? In the final analysis, these were strange bedfellows from the outset: The Cowboys, who rely upon an expansive signal, jumping under the sheets with a station that built its legacy in part by…
