Bring 'Shaq Diesel' to Dallas

4:10 PM Mon, Feb 16, 2009 |
David Marcus

I happen to agree with SportsTalk producer Josh Harvey (for once). Shaq would be a terrific addition to the Mavs, depending on what you'd have to give up to get him. Probably Josh Howard, Jerry Stackhouse and maybe someone else.

Shaq is still very productive at the age of 35...he's an NBA All-Star, for goodness sakes. And the Mavericks, bless them, could always use another level of toughness. Shaq would give that to them.

And i...

He lost endorsements, got suspended and had to face public scrutiny, but Michael Phelps won't be facing any charges.

The Michael Phelps bong saga is finally over.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can right some wrongs, or at least one big wrong, when he names his new stadium.

It's unlikely he will get a big-name sponsor to put their name on his football palace in Arlington now because of the economy.

But this negative -- financially speaking -- can be used for one big positive.

He can name the stadium for Tom Landry, the only coach the Cowboys had in the 29 years before Jones b...



NASCAR starts backwards

NASCAR is back for a new season and just like they always do they start with their best race and work their way backwards.

The Daytona 500 is the Super Bowl of racing, then a long season, then the 10 race playoffs and then it's over.

Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage explains it that it's that way because it has always been that way.

It is a strange sport.
