Guess Pacman wasn’t Jesus after all. Hmm, imagine that. You may never forgive Pacman Jones. But, listening to the tone of the Cowboys yesterday, he may be easy to forget. Said head coach Wade Phillips, “He’s gone.” While Pacman considers checking into an alcohol treatment facility in town – conjuring…
One-hit wonder? Or another lethal weapon in the Stars’ arsenal? Stay tuned. While America’s “hockey moms” were likely learning about Joe the Plumber last night, Dallas’ hockey fans were introduced to Fabian Brunnstrom. How’s this for a lid-lifter? In his first NHL game, the Swedish winger scored three goals in…
Oh, so that’s why he’s stopped turning his frown upside down. Makes total sense. The good news: I think I got it figured out. The bad news: Tony Romo ain’t real happy. Been sniffing around some Cowboys’ sources this week to find out just why Romo’s demeanor has taken such…
How’s this for a scary thought? Pacman Jones isn’t the Dallas Cowboys’ biggest problem. But, hey, you gotta start somewhere. Though owner Jerry Jones dismissed any disciplinary action in downplaying Pacman’s latest transgression, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday suspended the nefarious cornerback at least four games. It’s a start…
Ssh! Can you hear Greggo? Me neither. First off, congrats to ESPN Radio for being nominated for a 2008 Marconi Award. Last month in Austin it was honored by the National Association of Broadcasters as one of five finalists for Sports Station of the Year. (Curiously, The Ticket won the…
Geezus, not Jesus. Jimmy! Awoke this morning with several random musings: *I wonder, in light of Pacman Jones’ indefinite suspension by NFL poobah Roger Goodell, if Cowboys’ head coach Wade Phillips is convinced yet that something actually happened? His defiant “if there was an incident” stunt from last week just…
Another troubled player headed our way? Perfect. Going: Pacman Jones. Coming: Roy Williams. Not that one. The good one. The Cowboys have acquired the Detroit Lions’ and former University of Texas receiver and Detroit’s seventh-round draft choice in 2009, in exchange for their first, third and sixth-round choices in ’09…
Well, see ya later. Oops. I guess NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sees Pacman Jones’ altercation a tad more seriously than Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jerry’s version: Jivin’ at the Joule. Goodell’s version: At least a four-game suspension. I’ve said before I don’t think Pacman should be allowed to play in…
Oh dear. Back on July 30 I was wrong. And never more right. It was during Cowboys’ training camp out in Oxnard that I took one look at Brad Johnson’s off-speed flutterballs and cringed at the thought of Tony Romo ever getting injured. But I surmised with the way Romo…
Welcome to the party. Well, not exactly. But stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The player has been involved in three incidents with the police over the last 14 months, including marijuana found in his car and a murder suspect found in his home. The coach: “He’s a…
I’m no psychologist, but I am an, um, Observer. And, I dunno what exactly, but something’s up with Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo. I mean, something other than a broken pinkie that will cause him to miss at least three games. (Wade Phillips says his quarterback won’t have surgery, and likened…
And you thought it couldn’t get any worse after yesterday’s loss? So says ESPN.com. Its story claims Romo has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand. If so, wow. Hello, 40-year-old Brad Johnson. Goodbye, Super Bowl? Something tells me Jerry Jones isn’t having a happy 66th birthday today. – Richie…
Is it time to call in the guru? 12 penalties. 4 fumbles. 2 special teams touchdowns. 1 missed field goal. Zero emotion. Did I mention the special teams? I don’t have enough hands with enough fingers to point out all the blame in Cardinals 30, Cowboys 24. So let me…
Just watched “OU Sucks!” beat “Texas Sucks!” by 10 at this jumpin’ joint on Lemmon. Don’t know who, for sure, is the better quarterback — Sam Bradford or Colt McCoy. But I do know a couple things: 1. McCoy’s roomate — Jordan Shipley — was the best player on the…
The Cowboys have played five games. Sportatorium has made five losing bets. Oh and friggin’ five! Who, oh who, could feel my pain? Is there anyone? Anyone out there who can empathize with my futility? Wait … George Costanza, is that you? “It’s not working, Jerry. How did it all…
I could try to pretend this is a sporty sorta item … or I could just provide my two-word review: Awe. Some.– Richie Whitt…
I smell an upset. Or is it just really dark urine? If you’re not too hungover tomorrow morning, ESPN’s Texas-OU GameDay crew will set up shop outside the Cotton Bowl at 9 a.m. I think it’d be funny to see someone hold up a Pacman Jones cutout in the background,…
So what do you get when you mix Pacman Jones with Tommy Jones with Jerry Jones? A really bad sequel to 48 Hours. Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones just finished talking at Valley Ranch. In summary: *It’s an aberration, yet he’s very disappointed. *“None of our rules have been impacted.” *Pacman…
Getting kinda used to this, aren’t we? Pacman’s in limbo. Newman’s hurt. T.O.’s moody. Wade Phillips is edgy. For a 4-1 team, it’s difficult to find the Dallas Cowboys’ positives: Ah-hah! There’s one: Couple three years ago I was on the couch watching a Cowboys’ game with my brother. He…
After speaking with a Valley Ranch source minutes ago, a couple of Pacman Jones details need amending: The incident occurred at 11 p.m. instead of 1:30 a.m. Alcohol was involved, but not intoxication. A light fixture was damaged, as well as a mirror. Jones was on the scene when two…
Out of quarters. And second chances. On the heels of recently being told by owner Jerry Jones to chill down his profile, Cowboys’ cornerback Pacman Jones got into a violent altercation with one of his own security guards at the new Joule Hotel at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. That’s it…
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says a half-dozen players came to him at the end of last season, expressing a desire to play elsewhere if Avery Johnson remained the head coach. Let’s tiptoe out upon the limb and predict that Jason Kidd was included in the mutiny. Why? Because while…
