Please, for the love of God, rescue us! You catch any of Steelers over Redskins last night? Weird. Could’ve sworn I saw Pittsburgh lose its starting quarterback to an injury, only to insert a backup who actually helped them win the game. I know. Crazy. By my count six backup…
A taller, more liberal Avery Johnson? Obama vs. McCain? Let’s see, McCain is a Phoenix Suns fan who played junior varsity football in high school and boxed in the Navy. Eh. Obama is a White Sox fan who threw out the first pitch in Chicago before Game 2 of the…
Okay, who had 6 months in the office pool? Pay up, sucka. Forgive me for growing a little misty-eyed nostalgic today. It’s because 368 posts and 3,554 comments after debuting with this lil’ diddy, your friendly Sportatorium is suddenly 6 months old. Funny, I don’t feel a day over 2…
Holy hell, he’s even worse than we thought. Giants Stadium has long been a house of horrors and horseshit for Dallas Cowboys’ quarterbacks. Hall of Famer Troy Aikman threw a career-high five interceptions in New Jersey in 2000. In ’01 backup Clint Stoerner topped that by tossing four picks in…
Is it time to see if he can save us? I’m not surprised the Cowboys got their ass kicked today. Doesn’t mean I’m not madder than Mike Singletary about a 21-point loss that felt more like 41. The dismal performance in the Meadowlands doesn’t exactly belong on this list, but…
Josh Howard and the All-Star gala were fantastic. Rest of the night? Bum-mer. Web Ed Patrick Michels has the facts and photos from last night’s big NBA 2010 All-Star Game announcement shindig. Leaves it up to me, I guess, just to fill in some blanks: *For some reason, seeing Mark…
1-7 on Cowboys’ games this season. That’s 1 win. That’s 7 losses. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Heads or tails? It’s heads. Gimme the New York Giants, minus the 9…
Barack Obama’s already a better shooter than Avery Johnson. Here’s hoping he’s a better leader. Although, I admit, we’d have more fun with Palin As President? – Richie Whitt…
See, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. I’ve recently received several emails curious in Live 105.3 talk-show host Russ Martin. Not in his “situation” per se – we’ve already covered that from incident to indictment – but more so in the fallout, if any, from his July arrest and…
Disgustingly frightful. But no way he cracks our list. Just got home from Rockets 112, Mavs 102 at American Airlines Center. Plenty of ghouls, goblins and freaky occurences at the joint tonight. To wit, Jerry Jones at a basketball game. And the ManiAACs performing a dance routine to Michael Jackson’s…
Say it ain’t so. It’s so, ain’t it? Picked up my Dallas Morning News this morning – Went into the driveway and physically picked it up. I’m a dinosaur, ridicule away. – pulled out SportsDay and had a bright idea. For Halloween I will dress as a newspaper. Nothing scarier…
Make-or-break year for him. And his team. Don’t believe it. The Mavericks, overnight, did not grow old and tired and shitty. Everywhere you surf entering tonight’s opener against the Houston Rockets – especially here – you hear how Dallas will be lucky to win 45ish games and lucky to make…
Debbie Downer body language. Broken pinkie. Disappointing results. The SI Jinx at work? I’d like to call out Sports Illustrated’s Peter King for turning tail on your Dallas Cowboys. Way I remember it, once upon a time King picked the Cowboys to make it to this season’s Super Bowl. (Of…
The Three J’s put on quite a show to start the ’94 season. After that, um, basically nothing. Tonight’s lid-lifter at American Airlines Center between the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets has a plethora of sub-plots that could possibly escalate into season-long themes: Rick Carlisle’s arrival. Avery Johnson’s departure. Jason…
When—not if—the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Giants in New Jersey on Sunday, the NFC East race will slip officially out of their reach. At 5-4 and trailing the defending Super Bowl champs by three games with seven to play, owner Jerry Jones will attempt to shrug it off and…
If I were God of Sports, these guys would render kickers extinct. God for a day? Me? Thanks, don’t mind if I do. Richie Almighty. I like the sound of that. Okay, first, bye-bye cancer. Hurricanes = gone. No more wasted money on explorations to the Moon. Resources once pegged…
Coming Soon: Basketball’s marquee event. One of sports’ worst-kept secrets will officially be spewed forth tomorrow night, as the Mavericks’ pre-game activities before the season-opener against the Houston Rockets will include the announcement of the 2010 NBA All-Star Game being hosted by Dallas, in Arlington. Back in May, Mark Cuban…
Flat out, who deserves the most credit? Jimmy Johnson transformed the Dallas Cowboys from 1-15 laughingstock into back-to-back Super Bowl champs. Jerry Jones hired Johnson. So which one is more deserving of immortality in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Both are on the HOF’s preliminary list of 2009 inductee…
Those Eagles aren’t buzzards. Yet. Didn’t see this coming. You? When high-school coaching legend Todd Dodge took the job at North Texas back in December ’06 I predicted great things. Great, instant gratification-type things. Yikes. Never did I envision Dodge overseeing a porous defense of record-setting proportions, a 2-18 record…
Swear, I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Lessee, “World Series game ends in a tie”? Boring. “Brad Johnson sucks”? Yawn. “Texas Tech’s Mike Leach is the greatest offensive coaching mind ever”? Heard it. Perhaps I can interest you in “Dorky sports blogger experiences the most bizarre round in…
Hey, at least he’s better than Brooks Bollinger. Or is he? Now that you’re with me on Brad Johnson — you are with me, right? – would you rather see Brooks Bollinger try to guide the Cowboys to a win, or at least a touchdown, Sunday in New York while…
Shame on me. How oh how will I ever make it up to her? Look, I make my fair share of mistakes. Some of my (severely broke and suddenly former) friends would say more than my fair share. Point is, I don’t need the U.S. House Oversight Committee to let…
