Screw Me For Missing This Miraculous Anniversary. Better Late Than Never.

Feb. 22, 1980: Americans 4, Soviets 3. Enjoy...
Hey Look, The Sportatorium Does Cover Pro Rasslin'!

Snowing like a mother -- yes, again -- as I leave the warm confines of Collin County for Dallas. Tried to be in a grumpy mood this morning, but this video made me giggle. For those of you who are clamoring for Michael Young trade news, only thing new is...
Do You Believe in Miracles?! - YE ... Nope.

Saw Duke's Kyle Singler on ESPN making a shot at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium. Off the floor. Off the backboard. From the rafters. Having seen and remembered this video of LeBron "making" LeShot, I know what trick 'em-dick 'em photography can do. So, no, I ain't buying it...
Down to Knoxy = Knoxy Goes Down!

Fox Sports Southwest reporter Jim Knox seems a fine fella. His job on Texas Rangers games -- interviewing Boy Scout Troop #137, talking to face-painting Sally and whatnot -- seems almost impossible to make interesting. But if you've ever wanted to see Knox get his, well you're day has arrived. Courtesy...
Merry Christmas Eve! From Your 1986 Dallas Cowboys!!

Dec 24, 2009

Next time I start to criticize your 2009 Dallas Cowboys, remind me that these are the dorks I used to root for. Jeff Rohrer ... Danny White ... Ron Fellows ... Gordon Banks ... Bill Bates ... Everson Walls ... Steve Pelluer ... Mike Saxon ... Steve DeOssie ... Todd...
Not the Worst Dallas Cowboys Song I've Ever Heard

Nor the best. But as tribute, theme jingles go, um ... it's one of them...
Texas-OU: Another Longhorns Victory

Texas beats OU, even in the girls' bathroom. And the delicious conclusion of Parts 2 and 3 .....
Dear Fox/Burger King: You Were Warned

By Richie Whitt
Oct 15, 2009

Every once in a while - not too often, I readily admit - when I smell shit it actually turns out to be shit. On Tuesday I labeled this Fox/Burger King collaboration the dumbest video in the history of ever. Don't look now, but Fox/Burger King agree. In the form...
The Dumbest Video I've Ever Seen. Shame on you, Fox. Shame.

By Richie Whitt
Oct 13, 2009

Since I'm usually on 105.3 The Fan as part of the Dallas Cowboys pre-game show, I no longer get to partake in Fox NFL Sunday. My reaction: Praise Allah. Because after seeing this video and learning that this "The King and Us" series is now a weekly staple, I'm embarrassed for Curt,...
Giggle. Giggle. Guffaw. Snot Out My Nose. Laughter. Giggle.

A little vamping while I toodle down to San Antonio if you don't mind. Usually I reserve my Video of the Week until Friday, but this one couldn't wait. In last Saturday's WNBA All-Star - wait, it gets funnier - Sylvia Fowles wanted to dunk. So the players cleared a lane. The refs...
Videos of the Week: Sports, Sex and Stupidity

Jul 21, 2009

Lots of stuff hit the Internet while I was on vacation. Let's play some peek-a-boo catch-up, shall we? ERIN ANDREWS I can't legally directly link to the Erin Andrews video - you know the one - but I can say that I saw it last week at a site that rhymed with...
Video of the Week: NBA Finals Edition

Only three years ago? Seems like a thousand heartbreaks since doesn't it?...
Video of the Week: Dumbest Contest Ever?

By Richie Whitt
May 29, 2009

Okay, I admit, I've bungee-jumped and dived out of an airplane and dared to criticize Mark Cuban and I might even like to run with bulls some day. But I'll be damned if I ever chase a wheel of cheese down one of the steepest pasture on God's green Earth. Wow...
Video of the Week: Mavs-Spurs Edition

By Richie Whitt
Apr 17, 2009

After re-living this overtime glory, something tells me the Mavs will miss DeSagana Diop and Jerry Stackhouse. Ryan Hollins and Antoine Wright, I'm looking at you...
Video of the Week: Last Go For Mo?

By Richie Whitt
Apr 10, 2009

I know other columnists disagree, but I think this is it. Tonight's the final game in the Stars-studded hockey career of Mike Modano. Horrible season. Getting called out. A team-worst minus-14. Only one goal in his last 34 games. Turning 39 in June. Her waiting at home. Just a gut...
Video of the Week: Final Four Edition

By Richie Whitt
Apr 3, 2009

Where were you for Magic vs. Bird 30 years ago? Some of you were just twinkles. Some of us were already hip-deep in bracketology. None of us, however, envisioned Dick Enberg's career outlasting Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Al McGuire and Billy Packer...
For the Mavs: A Better Time. For Josh Howard: Much, Much Worse.

By Richie Whitt
Mar 13, 2009

I remember seeing this live, then rewinding the TiVo over and over and over again until I was in tears. It's old, but it never gets old. Ya know? Staged racks on America's Funniest Videos: Insulting. Raw, real racks: Priceless. The Mavs are yucking it up on the bench, just seconds...
Video of the Week: Good Riddance

By Richie Whitt

Give me Emmitt Smith and George Teague in retirement. You can have your active cut Terrell Owens...
Video of the Week: SOC's Fame Over Shame

By Richie Whitt
Feb 27, 2009

I'm only half-kidding when I ask this: Was it worth it for South Oak Cliff High School to change the grades of three players - including McDonald's All-American Darrell Arthur - and win back-to-back state basketball championships in 2005-06, only to have the titles later forfeited? At the time SOC's wins...
Video of the Week: Dirk Back a Decade

By Richie Whitt
Feb 20, 2009

Stumbled across this classic footage of a guy I'm glad the Mavericks didn't trade yesterday. Wow, I think Dirk Nowitzki dunked more in his 1999 All-Star Rookie Game appearance than in the rest of his career combined. As Hubie Brown predicts, "He's a handful." ...
