I put a Dallas Cowboys’ source in a Happy Hour headlock last night in an attempt to – as promised – try to get a name on the new P.A. voice of Cowboys Stadium. No luck. “Just remember,” the source cautioned, “CBS owns more stations than just The Fan in this…
Didn’t hear this myself, but several P1s are telling me today that ol’ buddy George Dunham announced yesterday on The Ticket that he is no longer the public address voice of the Dallas Cowboys. Long the P.A. voice at Texas Stadium, Dunham said he was personally relieved of his duties…
On the heels of being one-hit by somebody named Chad Gaudin and losing the opener of a series in Arlington, I wondered aloud if the Texas Rangers would ever see first place in the AL West this season. Answer: Yes. Since then they have won seven of eight, including last…
Take the White Out to yesterday’s speculative depth chart and dust off Laura Miller’s old parade plans, your Dallas Mavericks just signed … drum roll … Quintin Ross! Starred at Kimball High School. Starred at SMU. Starred at Bounced around the NBA. I’ll let the Mavs trumpet his arrival: Ross…
Talked yesterday afternoon to David McDavid , he of the best odds to buy the Texas Rangers from Tom Hicks. Nothing definitive, but the auto tycoon has cooled slightly on the idea of owning our baseball team to the point where he said he is – for now – “leaning against…
I’s aren’t dotted. T’s aren’t crossed. Some negotiations aren’t finished. Others haven’t even started. But let’s assume smooth sailing and peer into the crystal basketball. With the Dallas Mavericks eyeing Shawn Marion, this could be their opening-night roster: Point Guard: Jason Kidd/ J.J. Barea Shooting Guard: Josh Howard/ Jason Terry/Antoine…
With one All-Star back in the lineup and another shoulda-been All-Star on the mound, the Texas Rangers began their crucial three-game series in Anaheim last night by promptly taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. The next time there was good news for Josh Hamilton, Kevin…
We can no longer confuse the Dallas Mavericks’ silence with inactivity. Let’s hope we never confuse Marcin Gortat with the franchise’s legacy of Great White Nopes. The Mavericks last night agreed to re-sign 36-year-old point guard Jason Kidd to a three-year, $25 million contract and inched closer to landing a new starting…
It’s awfully difficult at this late date to recall when last we heard the name Quincy Carter — he was either getting arrested or signed to yet another team, hard to say. But this much is certain: The former starting quarterback for Your Dallas Cowboys is no longer an Abilene…
Sunday’s instant classic Wimbledon final was one of those magical moments that only sports can provide. As Roger Federer and Andy Roddick battled past four hours and into the longest fifth set in Grand Slam history, you forgot about the second wife and the third mortgage and those post-Fourth of…
Let’s play three strikes with your Texas Rangers. Your first-place Texas Rangers. Yes, I am surprised. And impressed. Steeeriiiike One – Chris Davis demoted. Davis is a good guy with a great glove, but the Rangers could afford to be patient with him no longer. You can swallow a .200-hitting Gold…
One. That’s how many foreign players—with a basketball pedigree void of a U.S. college—have excelled for the Dallas Mavericks. Granted, it was a biggie. In fact, the greatest player in franchise history and the best foreigner in NBA history: Dirk Nowitzki. But the number of failed experiments is considerably higher…
The Rangers tip-toed perilously close to a lost season last night. Instead, they wound up jumping all over a won game. I know we’re only two days into July, but coughing up a 7-1 lead and losing to the AL West division leaders last night might have been a kick to the…
So says Men’s Health in its July-August issue, in which the magazine ranks the top 100 major U.S. cities’ “sports-obsessed citizenry” and puts Arlington at the very top o’ the list with an “A+” ranking. Says here that myriad factors went into the ranking — everything from the number of…
So, the Mavs made a big deal yet? Well, GM Donnie Nelson promised a “very active summer,” so let’s hop to it. Actually, though NBA free agency is just hatching, Dallas may be already making progress. That is, if you consider re-signing Jason Kidd progress. Kidd may not be the…
We’ve got a handful of photo sets up from the weekend that, even if they’re not quite sports shots, are at least sports-related. Well, close enough they’re worth a mention here in the Sportatorium.First off, got to point out Mark Graham’s batch of photos from the big deal at Russ…
I admit, I’m rarely on a boat mutha effer! But I did happen to be close to this exact spot on Lewisville Lake over Memorial Day weekend. And unless I’m a dry-dock dork, this looks like one of those trick ’em-dick ’em photos where you try to find all the things out…
The Texas Rangers’ offensive woes are almost laughable now as the team last night fell two and a half games back of the Angels, losing 5-2 to Los Angeles after taking a 2-0 lead in the third inning on solo homers by David Murphy and Marlon Byrd. That’s a total…
Amazingly, we still have stashed on the server Polyphonic Spree’s “H-O-O-P-S Yes!,” the ’07 “anthem” penned for FC Dallas — what do you mean you don’t remember? Then perhaps you recall a time when Your Dallas Mavericks were “Rowdy, Loud and Proud,” courtesy PPT; and who can forget Pantera’s catchy…
The good news: The Texas Rangers got seven more hits and two more runs last night than they did on Sunday. The bad news: They suck. With a 5-2 loss to the Angels, the Rangers – who held a 5 1/2-game lead to start the month – are now 2…
After surviving last weekend’s Terror on the Tarmac, we figured photographer Danny Hurley had earned a sweetheart assignment for Unfair Park this week — so when we heard the Dallas Cowboys and Playboy bunnies were making red carpet arrivals outside AMPM Saturday night, we knew just who to call.The stars…
I got this buddy – let’s call him, let’s see, how about “Anthony”? – who has a fancy schmancy boat out at Lewisville Lake. Probably cost more than my house. Two weekends ago he was putting it into the water when his wife starts yelling out the window of his pickup…
