Fred — the guy who owns the World’s Best Burger joint, located at the corner of Highway 11 and 36 in downtown Burlington, Wisconsin — doesn’t know for whom to root Thursday night. Like, should it be Green Bay Packers’ QB Brett Favre? Or Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo, the hometown…
I am a MFFL through and through, but I have to get this off my chest: Mavs Man, now in his seventh season (!), is safely the creepiest, scariest, grossest, most disgusting, weirdest, most terrifying mascot this world has ever seen. Ever. (And that includes the Dallas Cowboys’ universally loathed…

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

UT-Arlington UT-Arlington guard Cardell Hunter, a sophomore playing, well, like a junior, at least Though it would make total sense, this isn’t a writers-strike retread posting from the days of Snake LeGrand, Bill Blakely and peach baskets. Believe it or not, it’s true: UT-Arlington will host North Texas tonight at…
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…
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…
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,…
Looks like you are paying for the new Cowboys stadium after all. If you’re a Dallas Cowboys season-ticket holder, you’ll soon be getting in the mail a silver envelope, the contents of which will be seat pricing for the new stadium. Warning: Before opening, please sit down. Got my grubby…
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…

You think when Tony Romo was at Eastern Illinois, he thought he’d wind up in People or the Post every other week? Tony Romo’s dating an older woman from New York who’s got her own dough, thank you very much, and who used to be Derek Jeter’s gal pal not…
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…
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…
