Kari Lehtonen Made The Best Save Of This Young NHL Season
It shouldn't have come to this. Dallas's Kari Lehtonen should never have had to make this spinning, behind-the-back swipe that kept the Stars-Blue Jackets game scoreless. Even screened by Nick Foligno, Lehtonen will probably be the first to tell you he should have gloved the puck, or knocked it do...
Here Is An Image Of Terrell Owens And Jerome Bettis Bowling Together
Did you know Terrell Owens and Jerome Bettis own bowling teams? You probably didn't know that. We sure didn't, so when this popped up on ESPN's lazy Sunday PBA coverage it gave us a bit of a start. After all, T.O.'s last stint as a pro sports team owner didn't go so well. We're told this time aroun...
Rob Ryan Was Out Of Work For 22,987 Minutes
Firing confirmed by Tim MacMahon at 4:54 PM, January 8th (EST):...
The Dallas Stars Showed An Empty Chair On The Jumbotron, Identified It As "Manti Te'o's Girlfriend"
Like SNL, half of minor league baseball, and Mets GM Sandy Alderson, the Dallas Stars had some fun with the Manti Te'o story yesterday. During their home-opener (a 4-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes) the stadium's jumbotron operators spotted an empty seat and, in a mash-up of old Clint Eastwood empty-...
The Stars Hired Their Own Beat Reporter. Will The NHL Be Able To Keep Its Hands Off This Time?
The Dallas Stars announced earlier this week that they're hiring Mark Stepneski to cover the team. He'll run a blog, StarsInsideEdge.com, and his work will appear on the club's official site. He's been writing about the Stars since 1996 on his personal blog, and covering them for ESPN Dallas for two...
Dirk Nowitzki Tries To Crash A Video Review, Gets Stonewalled By Awesome Security Guard
I was not previously aware of the fact that there are NBA security guards whose job it is to prevent players from getting too close to the referees during video reviews. But as the video above shows, such security guards do indeed exist, and one of them got into a hilarious tête-à-tête with Dirk N...
No. 1 Duke Suffers First Loss To Some Team Or Other As Nation Revels In Annual Guilty Pleasure
It's not the Yankees losing in the divisionals, nor a conference rival pantsing Alabama midseason. Nor is it quite the Lakers fizzling in May, or the Cowboys losing year after year after year after delicious year....
The Cowboys Have Fired Rob Ryan, Who Says He'll Be Out Of Work "For Like Five Minutes"
After yet another season of missing the playoffs, it's been no secret that Jerry Jones was probably going to make some big changes to the coaching staff, but the first axe has apparently fallen on the neck of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who seems to be taking it all in stride....
The Cowboys Took A Swipe At The NHL On Twitter, But The Dallas Stars (Eventually) Gave It Right Back
Hockey's back! (We think.) And no one in Dallas gives a shit! (Which actually might be true.) Ah, but when you've won just one playoff game in 16 years—and counting!—it's probably not a good idea to throw shade at one of your neighbors the way the Dallas Cowboys did on Twitter yesterday morning:...
Here's Shawn Marion As The <em>Super Mario Bros.</em> Character You Never Asked For
First of all, it makes no sense because Bowser doesn't come anywhere near World 1-1, and Mario could never carry any cool stuff on his back, like, say, an NBA championship trophy. But that's fine, Dallas Mavericks CGI worker bees. You have fun with your green screen and rampant video game-revision...
Still America's Team: An Analysis Of Twitter Behavior Before Cowboys-Redskins
It was a good year to be a Redskins fan. Seven straight wins to close out the season. First playoff appearance since 2007. First NFC East title since 1999. A rookie running back who set the team record for rushing yards. And, of course, Black Jesus....
On Further Review, Roger Goodell Fucked Up This NFL Season From End To End
Cowboys-Redskins was the biggest matchup of the year, a win-or-go-home game for two division rivals. It turned out to be the most-watched regular-season sporting event in 15 years. But one familiar face was missing from the FedEx Field suites: commissioner Roger Goodell, who found something else to ...
Angry Cowboys Fan Fills Washing Machine With Explosives, Fires Rifle At It Just To Blow Up Tony Romo Jersey
Courtesy our friends over at the Dallas Observer, here's an example of the sort of responsible gun ownership we've come to expect from the Lone Star State. As a reaction to the Cowboys' disappointing season, one Dallas fan decided to "Get the shit off my Romo jersey" by sticking it in a washing ma...

In The End, The Cowboys' Offense Was Simply Toothless
Dallas fans are placing the blame squarely on Tony Romo's shoulders for last night's season-ending loss to Washington, but that's not really fair. As our friend Pat points out, Romo closed out the season with 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Of course, one of those came at an inopportune...
Poor Tony Romo: Cowboys-Redskins In Five GIFs
Washington 28, Dallas 18: This, I am convinced, is Tony Romo's favorite play. I think his palms get a little sweatier when he hears it called in. Look at the dedication. The grace. He wants to sell you that botched snap. He wants to sell it to you so...bad....
NFL Playoff Scenarios And Tiebreaks, So You Can Be Sure You're Ignoring The Right Games
Week 17 is always an odd melange of completely unwatchable misery between mathematically eliminated teams, stop and start contests between teams that can't remember if they're playing for something, and impossibly intense games between teams that are fighting to see another day. Here are the likely...
Mark Cuban Answered Questions On Reddit About Being Rich, Trying To Buy The Chicago Cubs, And More
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban visited Reddit on Christmas Eve to answer questions about pretty much anything. Why, you ask? He can do whatever he wants. Don't question Cubes....

Stop Concern-Trolling About Johnny Manziel's Basketball Tickets
There are two ways to look at this brief cut of Thursday night's nationally televised game between the Mavericks and the Heat, in which Steve Kerr proposes that Johnny Manziel ought to be the subject of suspicion because he is ostensibly an unpaid amateur and he was sitting in extremely expensive ...
