Heidi Klum takes a bite out of The Real Deal and realizes he tastes a little past the expiration date. I can’t remember the exact moment I became an Evander Holyfield fan. Maybe it was when a young Snoop Dogg claimed that he was “realer than real deal Holyfield.” Maybe…
This could be something. Or nothing. Or something really interesting. Went to Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California, last week. Saw owner Jerry Jones the first couple days. Interviewed him at length the third day. Saw him a couple other days. Then I came home and flipped on Saturday’s…
Benny Barnes was no Dallas Cowboys spare. He played 11 years with the team–from 1972 through the 1982 season, for a total of 139 games–as a defensive back, and he was the subject of a controversial call involving a Terry Bradshaw pass to Lynn Swann in Super Bowl XIII in…
New SMU basketball coach Matt Doherty may be better than Jimmy Tubbs. But so much for the part about him being cleaner. Just four months into his new gig on the Hilltop, Doherty’s program has been slapped on the wrist for an NCAA rules violation. Seems one of Doherty’s assistant…
Juan Gonzalez ain’t no Roy Tarpley, but it’s gotta be a very close second. Looks like today is a sportsy day in Unfair Park. So, on that note… On Saturday, the New York Daily News ran a story about a mysterious bag found at Pearson International Airport in Toronto three…
Kenny Cooper scored three goals in FC Dallas’ U.S. Open Cup win against the Charleston Battery. Amazing, innit, when major-leaguers barely beat up on minor-leaguers? The paper version of Unfair Park has always been good friends with FC Dallas. So big ups to the Hoops for advancing to the quarterfinals…
The jersey Irving High School’s own Tyson Thompson is wearing in this photo can be yours. Deal or no deal? Gone are the days when we felt like we “raised” the likes of Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith as our own. You know Bill Parcells isn’t really ours,…
Signs that your life may be wobbling off its axis: You’ve been shot more times than Fitty Cent. You lied to police, prompting your boss to lie about your lying. You generate superstar skeptics, even from those highly skilled in the art of handcuff etiquette and fudging about felonies. “C’mon…
That’s likely what the newest Maverick will hear when Dallas hosts the (grit your teeth) World Champion Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade February 22 at the American Airlines Center. Devean George, signed from the Los Angeles Lakers last night, will join newcomers Anthony Johnson, Greg Buckner and rookie Maurice Ager…
No, Drew Bledsoe didn’t mangle an ACL in practice. But for a handful of rabid Dallas sports fans, the dream ended last night just an hour south of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California. FC Roma, an amateur soccer team from our beloved city, was beaten 2-nil in…
If you’re thinking of taking Julius Jones as a Top 10 pick in your fantasy football draft, why are you even bothering? Admit it, fellas, you want it. You crave it. You actually need it. Dude, you’re sick. Instead of a fantasy where you jump into a Jessica sandwich between…
Just so you know, Lincoln Kennedy failed his physical today for the Cowboys. He weighed about 380 pounds, or 50 more than when he was an elite player. Also heard that he had some sort of internal thingamajig that will keep him from being football-ready for about a month. And…
Why is Lincoln Kennedy so danged happy? Maybe it’s because the former Raider’s getting a shot at being a Cowboy during training camp. Two words this morning: Lincoln Kennedy. Been a while since you heard that name, eh? Well, you’ll be hearing it again later today as the Dallas Cowboys…
In his last two stops, Terrell Owens has driven quarterbacks, coaches and fans crazy. After exactly two days of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California, there’s evidence his presence is already pushing coach Bill Parcells to the brink of insanity. In a fascinating, frustrating 10-minute span on a…
Straining camp: As goes Drew Bledsoe, so goes Dallas. Unless you think Tony Romo’s the QB of the future. Heh. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells’ training camp T-shirt reads “Who’s All In?”, a poker reference to risking it all in a do-or-die hand. Terrell Owens is here in Oxnard, California,…
It’s only the first day of Dallas Cowboys training camp here in Oxnard, California, but at least one major player is already in mid-season form. Long-time WFAA-Channel 8 sports anchor Dale Hansen got Day 1 off to a rousing start, purposely directing football-specific questions to owner Jerry Jones and away…
Dallas Cowboys training camp hasn’t officially begun, and starting free safety Keith Davis is already drawing flags. But these aren’t yellow for leaping offside but red for lying. The skepticism you had at initially hearing Davis’ tale of being shot on Interstate 635 in the early morning of July 16…
The Rangers couldn’t have picked a worse time for their worst flop of the year. Big series against the New York Yankees. Big attendance. Big media attention. Uh-oh. Climaxed by last night’s excruciating 8-7 loss to the Bronx Bombers, the Rangers were swept. And now, thanks to the Cowboys officially…
Don’t know how the local media missed this one–perhaps they were too busy blogging about Oxnard’s night life-—but Terrell Owens is guaranteeing a Super Bowl for your Dallas Cowboys. Not this year necessarily, but sometime in the next three years. He said so in a sit-down with KXAS-Channel 5’s Newy…
Today did not dawn pretty for you traditionalists. That is, if there are any of you left. First, Fort Worth’s tradition-saturated Colonial golf tournament has sold out and partnered with something called the Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resort, rendering the grand ol’ golfing get-together as faceless and bland as any…
Better late than never: Adam Eaton, acquired from San Diego in the offseason, finally pitches for Your Texas Rangers tonight against the Yanks. In between booing the New York Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez tonight at Ameriquest Field, take a gander at the pitcher on the mound for your Texas Rangers. It’ll…
Could the coach on the right wind up with the coach on the left–which is to say, left out? We shall see. In the month since our Dallas Mavericks broke our hearts with a dramatic come-from-ahead loss in the NBA Finals, owner Mark Cuban has been dissed by Dirk Nowitzki…
