Tony Hearts, Um, Brett?

C’mon, you know Tony Romo has a picture of Brett Favre hanging somewhere in his locker. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is unofficially dating everyone. But, turns out, he was never really in love with Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. Or was he? “I was more of a basketball…

Mike Modano’s, Like, Pretty Good?

If you couldn’t make it to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday night, when the Dallas Stars feted Mike Modano for becoming the league’s all-time leading American-born scorer — and, man, that asterisk is a mouthful — someone has kindly posted to the YouTubes the JumboTron video tribute screened during…

Still Too Premature to Talk A&M, Arkansas in Arlington. Or Is It?

So, Mike Sherman’s the new coach down at Texas A&M. Sure, fine, whatever.

Let The Hype Begin

The Ice Bowl, about which you might hear one or two things over the next week Go ahead, be thankful. The Dallas Cowboys ripped the New York Jets to improve to 10-1 for the first time in the franchise history. Even better, they jumped to a 21-0 lead to prevent…

Greg Williams ‘Hammers’ The Ticket

The Hardline has never been sane. After this, it may never be the same. On Friday, October 12, the most popular sports talk radio show in the history of Dallas prepared for a routine remote broadcast at Addison’s Blackfin Pub. KTCK-1310 AM The Ticket afternoon co-host Mike Rhyner arrived on…

Romo to Owens to Witten

Far as I know, there’s no ESPN the Magazine cover curse. Hell, far as I knew till a couple of minutes ago, there was no ESPN the Magazine — gave it up a while back, after my five-year free subscription finally ran out. But in a few days, three of…

Oak Cliff Boxer Was a Knock-Out at Golden Gloves Title Fight

Charles Hatley, world champ Oak Cliff’s Charlie Hatley may not be headed to the Olympics, but he now has another title to add to his resume: world champion. Over the weekend, Hatley won the Golden Gloves World Championship, and he couldn’t have done it in more impressive fashion. He knocked…

Ice Your Ball

I won’t pretend to know whether this is The Real Deal, but an eBay’er with much positive feedback is selling — for the low, low price of $2,000, so far — what he says is a football signed by the entirety of the 1967 Dallas Cowboys roster. Which means, yes,…

A Florida Company is the Master of the Cowboys’ Domain Name

Exactly a month ago we mentioned how the folks who owned the domain name Cowboys.com thought they’d sold the moniker to the Dallas Cowboys — only, not so much, as Jerry Jones’ team wasn’t about to fork over $275,000 for the domain name. Especially not when the Cowboys thought they’d…

Anybody else out of popcorn? As instructed, I had mine ready.

Scattershooting … With All Due Respect

Not only is Jason Witten’s wife Michelle an E.R. nurse, but she also has 20/16 vision in both eyes. Scattershooting while wondering what ever happened to legendary, old-school press like Bud Shrake, Dan Jenkins and, of course, Blackie Sherrod. Cool, they’re right here. Hold a sec while I find my…

Action Sports Take Over Dallas

Dear Norm Sonju, Please don’t read this column. Trust me, you don’t wanna know. As a founding father and general manager of the Dallas Mavericks through the mid-1990s, Sonju was, um, a tad conservative. He once, for example, required Reunion Arena employees to take a safety course detailing how to…

“Hi, T.O.” “Hi. Next.”

Lites Out!

Jim Lites now gets to build soccer stadiums in England. Better than running the Stars, sounds like. The Dallas Stars Web site has the news: Jim Lites, who’s been both president of the hockey club and the head of Hicks Sports Marketing Group, is moving over to HSMG. Which means…

The Worst is Yet to Come for Stars?

Little T’s All Grown Up

As we predicted a while back, Terrell Owens is happy. Something about the disappearance of Bill Parcells magically removing accidental overdoses, narcolepsy and shouting matches with assistants from his daily diet. Weird, the Fat Fish’s departure did the same trick for me too. If you’ve been paying attention, T.O. is…
