Ryan Mallett Could Replace Tony Romo as the Dallas Cowboys’ Quarterback

For those of you that tune into Back Sports Page Texas on Thursday evenings and have heard me talk with host Jay Maguire about the Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback situation, I’m curious to know what you think. Since we’re just making this a free-for-all, I guess I should share this with those who haven’t listened. With [...]

Teams Calling About Fausto Carmona

Other teams are expressing “heavy interest” in Cleveland Indians right-handed pitcher Fausto Carmona, according to FOXSports.com’s Jon Paul Morosi. Now that Cliff Lee has signed with the Phillies, the best free agent starter left on the market is Carl Pavano. As a result, teams looking for quality pitching are shifting their attentions to the trade [...]

Cowboys Receiver Kevin Ogletree Done for Season

In his first game with an expanded role, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Kevin Ogletree’s season ended with a toe injury. Sunday night’s loss to the Eagles was Ogletree’s first NFL game as the third receiver on the depth chart after Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant broke his ankle a week earlier. The sophomore receiver came up [...]

ESPN’s Matthew Berry Tells Reader His Daughters Will Be Strippers

Being a sportswriter means that sometimes you get things wrong. I have my Adam Dunn. Dave Cameron has his #6org. And Joe Morgan has his—well, everything he’s ever said about sabermetrics. Sometimes it’s bad luck, sometimes it’s lack of information, and sometimes it’s just bad analysis. Point is, it happens. In addition, when you put [...]

Cliff Lee Agrees to Sign With Philadelphia Phillies

Former Indian Cliff Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young winner and the top pitcher on this year’s MLB free agent market, has agreed to sign a five-year, $100 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. The signing comes as a massive shock to the baseball community, as the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers had both [...]

Wilken gets $$$ backing from Ricketts to boost Chicago Cubs scouting

  Tom Ricketts has had a tough rookie year as Cubs owner. Almost everything he’s touched or vouched for has turned to stone. He can’t even win unanimously for a noble venture like a eulogy for Ron Santo at the latter’s memorial service. Someone who does business with Ricketts’ organization wondered why the team chairman spoke [...]

Cowboys Kicker David Buehler Developing Nicely

It’s been a while since I’ve checked up on Cowboys kicker David Buehler, but his performance in Sunday night’s 30-27 loss to the Eagles prompted me to do so. This guy has been quite an experiment for Dallas this season. After a rough preseason start, Buehler was outstanding the in final exhibition against Miami, hitting [...]

Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Won’t Give Young Players Any Real Snaps

The Dallas Cowboys’ hopes of finishing .500 on the season ended with Sunday night’s 30-27 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gosh, that sounds funny to say; “hopes of finishing.500.” We had hopes of finishing the season in the Super Bowl at our own stadium about three months ago. With the Cowboys’ record now 4-9, I [...]

An Ode to Progressive Field

We Clevelanders put up with a lot to watch our beloved Indians play ball. The average trip to Progressive Field involves putting up with frigid temperatures, overpriced refreshments, and inevitable defeat at the end of the game. But at least we never have to worry about the roof collapsing—unlike fans of the Minnesota Vikings. But [...]

Cowboys Come Up Just Short Against Eagles, 30-27

The Philadelphia Eagles came to Dallas looking to take a half game lead over the Giants in the NFC East and they did just that. The Dallas Cowboys put forth an inspiring effort, but came up just short of upsetting their visiting division rivals. I can’t say very much negatively about the Cowboys’ performance, but [...]
