Dwayne Goodrich Goes Under ESPN E:60 Microscope

I told the sad saga of former Dallas Cowboy Dwayne Goodrich in an Observer cover story back in December. Something tells me Jeremy Schaap is going to tell it even better tonight. To say I “consulted” ESPN E:60 is probably a little strong, but I did sit down with Schaap…

Oh, So This Isn’t For Enuff Z’Nuff?

As we mentioned earlier, the Enough is Enough folks — pro-convention center hotel, anti-“negativity and distortions associated with the May 9th election” — had their coming-out party this morning at the Stoneleigh Hotel, where they debuted their Web site and TV spot. We’ll have more from the party later today…

Did Mike Jacobs Save Ron Washington’s Job?

Because the Kansas City Royals couldn’t catch the ball, the Texas Rangers hung on to their manager. For now. After a 3-0 start that feels like months ago, the Rangers are 5-7. Not good, especially considering nine of those 12 have been at home and half against the lowly Orioles and…

Oh, “Pole Position.” I Get It.

Methinks KXAS-Channel 5’s Susy Solis had a fit of the giggles while writing her story about Burch Management’s Jobless to Topless Job Fair, scheduled from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. tomorrow at Cabaret Royale for “North Texans who were stripped of their corporate jobs” and have opted to go topless…

The Yea and Nay of Angela Hunt

Spurrifics 105, Mav-Wrecks 84

Seriously now, did you expect anything different from these Dallas Mavericks? A frustratingly inconsistent team that led the NBA in close victories also had more than its share of blowout losses and inexplicable letdowns. So after the Mavs rallied from 13 down to win Game 1 on Sunday, you knew -…

Seriously, What the What?

While we’re on the subject of confusing pro-hotel campaign efforts, a Friend of Unfair Park directs our attention to the Let Dallas Compete Web site — which demands you “Say Yes to Dallas” and vote against Proposition 1. It’s unclear who’s behind the site, which is registered through a proxy,…

Worst. Sign. Ever.

Maybe you too have spotted these anti-Proposition 1 signs in recent days — saw a couple in my Northwest Dallas neighborhood this morning, spied one near Fitzhugh and Capitol Avenues last night, and we found this one earlier today near One Arts Plaza downtown. And, sure, if you know what…
