July 16, 2008 ArchivesNews 8's Jim Douglas has an interesting story about James Bradshaw, a standout lineman form Trinity High School's state championship team. (Read it and watch video here.) At this point, he's not allowed to attend Arkansas-Pine Bluff next month on a full-scholarship because of a transcript glitch that misidentified a Spani... I did a story on Orville Rogers, a 90-year-old Dallas man who runs competitively. In March, he set a couple records for his age group at a meet in Boston, in the 800 meter run and the mile. Here are a few things about Orville I couldn't fit in the story that were interesting: Orville was named after Orville Wright, one of the Wright brothers.

But if the muggy July weather has you thinking hockey, the Dallas Stars can at least give you something to look forward to. The Dallas Stars announced the team's pre-season schedule today, including four games at American Airlines Center in Dallas. They will play seven pre-season games in 2008 in all.

Yanez, the 19-year-old boxer from Duncanville, will go to Beijing after all as part of the U.S. Olympic boxing team. But here is the key: Yanez agreed to pay a fine, undergo sports counseling and make a public apology. He also will personally apologize to his teammates and keep from making public remarks on th... As if Alex Rodriguez wasn't getting it enough from the New York papers, the Grand Prairie AirHogs baseball team is hosting an "A-Rod & Madonna Night" promotion for tonight's game against the Shreveport Sports. The team will poke fun at the latest gossip about the two mega-stars. One dollar tickets will be offered to any couples coming to the game who claim to "share an agent." Fans will also receive dollar admission i... No matter how many times Michael Young came up in the All-Star Game Tuesday night and stretching past 1:30 Wednesday morning in New York you, or I at least, kept thinking Young would win it. He's simply clutch. I just didn't think it would take to the 15th inning. Two years ago Young was the MVP of the game when he hit a game-winning triple. This time it was a sacrifice fly that gave the Texas Ranger and the American League a ... |
