Lotta this going on yesterday. And today. Likely the rest of the week. Everee-Day is like Sunn-daay! Random, irrational thoughts from my 8+ hours of Sabbath on the couch. With a lap full of pizza. And a belly full of … Diet Dr Pepper? 10 a.m. – Saturday’s leftover: ’Splain…
Is there a bigger Cowboy killer? I’ll have my blow-by-blow coverage of yesterday’s fiasco this afternoon. But for now, what’s your biggest reason for the loss to the Redskins: a) Not getting the ball enough to Terrell Owens? b) Zero touches for Felix Jones? c) Only eight carries for Marion…
Charged with misdemeanors. But not indicted with a felony. Got it? Acting on an educated hunch, I made a call this afternoon to Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney David Hagerman. Sure enough, he confirms that a grand jury on Thursday returned a three-count, Class A misdemeanor complaint against Live 105.3…
The Redskins hate the Cowboys about as much as I hate losing to The Man. Which puts us both in a real pissy mood this week. I have more bad news for Washington: The Redskins are going to lose Sunday. Furthermore, its town is a hotbed of Cowboys’ fandom. So…
Oh say can you see, how charitable this guy is? You: “The media only reports the bad news.” Me: “Guilty.” Well, not only the bad news. But I do admit that we, the media, tend to magnify the drunk athlete and shrug off the charitable one. Why? Great question. We’d…
This, come to find out, is called The Peach Gobbler. I’ll never eat fruit the same again. Was doing “research” this morning for a possible blog item. One of these days I’m going to rank the hottest women in Dallas TV sports, or maybe just Dallas TV overall. (Suggestion box…
I was a wide-eyed beat writer at Valley Ranch in the early ‘90s when a street magician came a calling, wanting to film some stuff with Dallas Cowboys’ players for an upcoming TV special. And ever since I’ve had a love/hate curiosity in David Blaine. (Come for Emmitt Smith’s MC…
Josh Howard can’t be all bad. Nor Hummer owners. Right? So I’m at the Rangers’ game yesterday afternoon and there’s a smattering of fans. The die-hards, let’s call them. One, in particular, caught my eye. He was sitting down the first-base line, front row in shallow right field. With a…
Never thought I’d feel sorry for a Hummer owner. Never thought I’d start a Josh Howard column with this word: Victim. But because being a racist trumps being unpatriotic and because Mark Cuban is as ballsy as he is brilliant, the Dallas Mavericks’ forward’s recent verbal flag-burning isn’t the most…
Gorgeous day. Let’s play two! On second thought, let’s just play one and call it a season. There are 16 people in the right-field upper deck here in Arlington. Counted ’em myself. That was after, of course, I spent some quality time in the Rangers’ clubhouse before today’s home finale…
Not just because his free-wheelin’, pirate-lovin’, pass-happy Texas Tech Red Raiders are up to 10th in the nation this year. I’ve always loved Leach. Way I remember it, I once even endorsed him to be Bill Parcells’ replacement as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. “Conversate … ”? “Watch her…
He’ll be back next year. Will you? I’m headed out to Arlington today to soak up some afternoon sun, take in the Rangers’ home finale and try – yet again – to decipher what went wrong with another baseball season. (Insert jealousy here.) News – courtesy the Fort Worth Star-Telegram…
My free tickets aren’t this big. And they won’t be delivered by this chick. Other than that, this photo provides a perfect synopsis of your good fortune. Two words: Free. Tickets. I have four tickets and a parking pass to the final Rangers’ home game of the season. Wednesday afternoon…
Just like I said I wouldn’t, I finally got around to reading Jeff Pearlman’s new book on the ‘90s Dallas Cowboys – Boys Will Be Boys. Turns out the thing, which is getting rave reviews from all over, is indeed entertaining. Encyclopedic, even. I just found it a teensy bit…
Down. But certainly not out. It’s tough to demote a quarterback with five touchdowns, the NFL’s most 20+-yard passes and a 3-0 record. But it’s also tough to ignore Tony Romo’s Red Zone gaffes. Against Cleveland Romo threw an interception in the end zone. Against Philadelphia he tried to make…
The athletic challenge is about to commence. Do you have any Grey Poupon? Glorious afternoon last Saturday. On my way to N9NE Steakhouse, Ghost Bar and the Fairmont hotel, I stopped by the Hilltop to see what the fuss was all about. What was this boulevarding that the Pony Up…
This Dallas golfer took out his giant, gaudy belt buckle and whipped Europe’s ass. Nice. Man, I haven’t been this wrong since I touted this guy to be your son’s next role model. But, gladly, I’ll admit I was ass-backward incorrect about the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Without Tiger Woods,…
Marion Barber and the Cowboys dove into a relatively easy win at Lambeau Field. *Been predicting this (12:58 entry) for almost a year now. But when the Cowboys finally called a Patrick Crayton pass, it was a harmless floater into double coverage that was almost intercepted. Hardly worth the wait…
Welcome aboard, Mike Fisher! I think. Considering his recent plight on a cruise ship dodging Ike in the Gulf of Mexico, you’d think Fisher would stay put for awhile. But, alas, here he is. At least temporarily, one of the area’s best sportswriters is also one of the area’s best…
A star is born. Speaking of tennis and the Davis Cup and local athletes, I almost forgot to mention Mitchell Krueger. In fact, I did forget. Until now. Who he, you ask? With any luck, and some computer click support from you, he could be the December cover boy on…
Wow! It’s also scary how much racism lurks still today.– Richie Whitt…
I know, right? I’m a roll. The Cowboys are 0-2; I’m 0-2 on the Cowboys. Silly me, I didn’t factor in Tony Romo’s mental meltdown that gave the Eagles 14 points in 14 seconds last Monday night. At the risk of going oh and three, I feel a Cowboys’ letdown…
