Wrestlemania Kicks Off In Front Of Half-Empty Jerry World After Ticketing Mishap [UPDATE]
Irate fans chanted “LET US IN! LET US IN!” as a stadium ticketing issue kept tens of thousands of pro wrestling fans from entering the stadium in Dallas before tonight’s Wrestlemania kicked off at 6 p.m. local time....
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...
Is The Longhorn Network Killing The Big 12?
Five years into the grand experiment, and the Longhorn Network is kind of a disaster. It’s losing money hand-over-fist: reportedly $48 million since its launch, with annual losses hovering in the millions. Subscriber fees are painfully low, and ESPN is locked into this thing for another 15 years. An...
Andrew Bogut Hit His First Three-Pointer In Three Years
March 8, 2013, was the last time Warriors center Andrew Bogut even attempted a shot from beyond the arc. Since then he’s been waiting, watching, judging the angles, observing the Splash Brothers. Finally, in last night’s 125-107 win over the Pelicans, Bogut let ‘er rip....
Andrew Bogut Doesn't Even Stick Around To See If Stephen Curry Makes Three-Pointers Anymore
Stephen Curry hits three-pointers with such accuracy that we’ve come to create our own, extra-deep three-point line for him. He’s also created a level of confidence within his teammates that they’re now heading back to play defense even before he releases the shot, as demonstrated tonight by Andrew ...
This Play Seems Impossible
Iowa State took care of things at home tonight against Oklahoma State with a 58-50 win, but that scoreline doesn’t include a Jameel McKay dunk that officials ruled a miss after the ball went through the hoop, bounced off Cowboys defender Anthony Allen’s skull and back out through the top. Maybe gett...
15-Year-Old American Chloe Kim Wins X-Games Gold With Highest Score In Superpipe History
Remember when Shaun White won an Olympic Gold and a bunch of X-Games titles before he could buy himself a beer? Well, it looks a lot like American snowboarding has found his successor; Chloe Kim, who’s 15, and has already won a bunch of halfpipe events. Two weeks ago, she won gold in the Superpipe a...
Report: Former Cowboys Running Back Joseph Randle Arrested And Charged With Battery
According to a report from TMZ Sports, which was later corroborated by the Dallas Morning News, former Cowboys running back Joseph Randle was arrested this morning in Sedgwick County, Kansas and charged with three counts of battery, one count of criminal damage to property, and one count of drug pos...
Report: Former Cowboys RB Joseph Randle Gambled On Sports
Running back Joseph Randle, who the Cowboys cut in November, bet on sporting events during the season, according to The Dallas Morning News. Randle was arrested Monday on an outstanding speeding charge, and in the wake of his fourth arrest in a year-and-a-half, the Morning News has an exhaustive rep...
Snowboarder Claims Skier Threw Him From Chairlift Over Joke
Snowboarder Seth Beckton says a skier threw him off a chairlift, from which he fell 20 or 25 feet, at Aspen Highlands in Colorado. Going by his account of events, the rivalry between skiers and snowboarders remains strong and hostile....
The Catch, The "Divine" Photo, And The Photographer Who Was Rooting For The Cowboys
Dwight Clark’s “The Catch” is one of the most famous plays in NFL history, and made for one of the most iconic photos ever taken by longtime Sports Illustrated photographer Walter Iooss Jr., one of the industry’s biggest names. Yet for all the immortality conferred in the back of Candlestick Park’s ...
Jeremy Mincey On The Cowboys' Atmosphere With Greg Hardy: "It Was Tough"
Defensive lineman Jeremy Mincey did an interview on FOX 4 in Dallas Sunday, and recapped the Cowboys’ disappointing season. Broadcaster Mike Doocy asked the NFLer about his experiences with teammate Greg Hardy, who fought with coaches and had details of his assault arrest published. Mincey, who will...
Steph Curry Is At It Again
Portland actually filed their paperwork correctly and had C.J. McCollum around for last night’s game against the Warriors, but, yeah, no, Golden State rolled easily. That’s thoroughly unsurprising, but this cool little alley-oop from Steph Curry to Andrew Bogut kind of was....
The Cowboys Sound A Little Done With Greg Hardy
It was just a couple months ago that the Cowboys were adamant about signing Greg Hardy long-term. Of course, that was when he was playing well, and before the full details of his assault arrest came out, and before he blew up on a coach and teammates on the sidelines, and before it emerged he couldn...
Dashaun Phillips Stretchered Off After Scary Head Injury
Washington cornerback Dashaun Phillips left the team’s game in Dallas against the Cowboys after going helmet to helmet with Darren McFadden on this hit. It was eerily similar to a play earlier in the game where Kyshoen Jarrett got shaken up. ...
Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones
Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...
Here Are Videos Of Dez Bryant Racing A Horse In College
Oklahoma State blog Pistols Firing unearthed a couple of videos of Dez Bryant racing Bullet—Oklahoma State’s mascot horse—in Boone Pickens Stadium....
Cowboys Look To Squelch Reporters With Strict New Media Policy

Two Arrested After Fight Involving Knife At FedEx Field [Update]
A Cowboys fan took video of fans fighting on the concourse of the Skins’ stadium in Landover after Dallas beat Washington Monday night. Though the clip’s narrator claimed a man was stabbed, EMS says they did not respond to a stabbing....
That Terrible Football Game Was Really Fun
I’ve long had this theory that the best NFL games, or at least the most entertaining ones, take place between two bad teams. Mistakes are good for unpredictability, and poor decision-making provides the opportunity for hilarity. It’s part of the reason why college games have such wild finishes. The ...
