IS THE GLIMMER GONE on the STAR???

We are nearing the end of the first week without WADE PHILLIPS as coach of the COWBOYS. TO BE UP FRONT--I think the team totally QUIT on WADE.

Coach Phillips record as Cowboy coach speaks for itself. First playoff win for the COWBOYS in 13 years, conference championships,winning percentages...win/loss record. All and all he has done a lot for the club in the last few years and was given a contract extension last year.

BOOM....he is gone and in steps the JASON GARRETT era....HERE COME CHANGES A PLENTY!!!

Players will wear ties on the plane--no more card games and dominoes in the locker room, AND the big change, THEY WEAR PADS AND PANTS IN PRACTICE.

With all these big changes, I can see us going 8-0 the second half of the season. BULL...S****!

The real problems lie within the dog in this team. They were put on a pedestal--told they were really good and going to be the first team to play and be expected to win a SUPERBOWL in their home stadium. Without Tony Romo, the OFFENSE doesn't click. Sorry, John Kitna is a back up for a reason and hadn't taken a snap in two years.

Why?

Cause he is no good--slow interception machine, poor decision maker...need I say more?

We should be looking at NUMBER THREE...quarterback...drawing a blank...SORRY AGGIE FANS....see if he is starter material or just your average backup.

BUT NO...

JERRY JONES' ego, the size of the hole in the roof at the stadium, wants meaningless wins to save face.

TRY TO FIND OUT WHO CAN PLAY--WHO CAN'T, GET A GOOD DRAFT PICK, HIRE A GREAT COACH, and GET USED TO THE IDEA THAT THE PACQUIAO/MARGARITO CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT is going to draw more fans to the stadium than the DALLAS COWBOYS WILL THE REST OF THE YEAR.

This is sad but probably true!!!! THIS COMES FROM A COWBOY FAN!!! Well maybe next year. GO OU and TCU!!!!!!

HOT DAMN...NOLAN RYAN IS NOW THE MAN !!!!

WELL after all the delays, bickering, and all the LEGAL B...S... ,it is finally official this is RYAN/GREENBURG'S team and the EVIL EMPIRE of TOM HICKS is no longer in charge and we won't have to see that name associated with the team any longer. Hicks has set sports in the metroplex back years and the repercussion will probably hit the DALLAS STARS big time now. I just wish there was someway to remove his name from the STANLEY CUP. Everyone, whether you are a STARS fan or not should wish them luck and hope they get a new owner to replace the RAT HICKS.

BANKRUPTCY JUDGE said that only $75million of bid will go to the creditors. HOWEVER, he is allowing the creditors to go after Hicks other companies, since his ownership group defaulted on the loans. Wow that is great news. He probably made money from this deal, but lets hope this gets most of his money.

CUBAN, probably made out on this deal. It was reported that he bought a lot of the paper from some of the creditors, probably for mere cents on the dollar. He did succeed in driving up the price and as shrewd as he is, he made money from the deal. CUBAN is a genius at business and has made the MAVERICKS a model franchise and his name draws criticism from the league for his progressive thinking. BASEBALL, is flat out scared and intimidated by him. So in a roundabout way, THANKS MARK CUBAN!!

LET HEAR IT FOR THE NEW RANGERS.......AND IF NOT THIS YEAR,...NEXT!!! WATCH OUT BASEBALL...WE HAVE WORLD SERIES ON OUR MIND. LATER....

The Day From Hell

Today has been THE DAY FROM HELL for anyone that is a TEXAS RANGER fan. To begin with TOM HICKS, owner of both the Dallas Stars and the Texas Rangers,and other sport venues, such as some obscure soccerr team in EUROPE, has been like a pimple on the butt of all sports fans in Dallas/Ft. Worth and has set the sports scene back nearly 20 years. In fact, on this day in 1993, Robin Ventura charged the mound after a pitch from Nolan Ryan, and what has become one of the most famous photographs in baseball, Nolan has Ventura in a headlock and is punching the crap out of him. IF ONLY NOLAN COULD USE THAT TECHNIQUE TODAY!!!



The group of Dallas Maverick Owner Mark Cuban/ Houston Businessman Jim Crane and the GROUP WHO THOUGHT THEY ALREADY OWNED THE RANGERS, Nolan Ryan/Pittsburg Sports Attorney Chuck Greenburg, gathered for AUCTION of the TEXAS RANGERS at the US BANKRUPTCY COURT in Ft. Worth. This is what it has come down to, a bidding war , winner getting the RANGERS. The real losers in all this could be the FANS. Nolan is a basball legend and current president of the club and deserves alot of the credit for all the success the club is having this season. Let's just say THE FIRST PLACE TEXAS RANGERS. They have been winning with money restraints all season. I can't believe how well they have been playing with all the crap that is going on around them. OH YEAH.....How about Ron Washington for Manager of the Year!! In preseason we were just looking to see how long it would be before he is fired after the off season drug problems.Who the hell knows what, who...anything about the future of this club. TO borrow a line from former Dallas Cowboy Coach BARRY SWITZER..."JUST WIN BABY" For those interested in the outcome of the bid, it may go on into the night. As I write, nothing final. Check your paper or electronic sources tomorrow for the WINNER.
