Masters Mania

7:35 PM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |
Joe Trahan

Its the four best days of golf each year and I can't get enough of it.

Becuase its the same venue each year, the Masters has an advantage over all the other major golf championships - familiarity. As an avid golfer, I know which shots the players need to hit and get to see if they can pull it off.

My personal favorite hole - the par 5 13th. Off the tee, players have to hit a draw (right to left shot) to get it around the corn...



The Rangers' word for today is...

Some Texas Rangers fans got a chance to eat and meet with their favorite Rangers players today at the team's annual Welcome Home Luncheon in Arlington.

Prior to the luncheon at a VIP reception Rangers Manager Ron Washington and players alike all spoke of a common theme, "camaraderie"

Washington says that the clubhouse is as good as it could possibly be. He says that because the majority of the guys have now been together for th...



Why I like Miles Austin

3:56 PM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |

I really like Miles Austin.

The New York Jets are trying to wrestle the young receiver away from the Cowboys. And I don't like that.

Part of the reason I like Austin so much is because he seems like a genuinely good guy. He is one of the most congenial players at Valley Ranch. He has a good attitude and is accessible. He's quite a depa...



Can Mavericks Shed Jekyll and Hyde Persona?

3:29 PM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |
David Marcus

The Mavs looked like NBA champions on Sunday afternoon, completely dismantling the Suns, 140-116.

Reason for fans to get excited over the upcoming playoffs, right?

Not so fast.

If we've come to know anything this season, it's to expect the unexpected when it comes to the Mavericks. There's no logic or reason to it anymore. They can go out and play a complete game on one night, and two days later they resemble an entirel...



Jazzing up the playoff race

2:56 PM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |
Ted Madden

Tonight's game at the AAC will either make for a very intriguing final four games, or pretty much end the playoff race. A Maverick win will put them in a 7th place tie with Utah, and while the Jazz hold the tie-breaker, Dallas plays three of its final four games at home.

What makes tonight's matchup so juicy is how both teams played on Sunday. The Mavs scored 81 points in the first half and led Phoenix by 22 at the break. Utah led New ...



Roy Williams responds to criticism

2:44 PM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |
Aaron Chimbel

Roy Williams is tired of being told he's not a legitimate No. 1 receiver. This could be real good news for Cowboys fans. Players with a grudge often perform well.

"I have done this job before," Williams told the Star-Telegram. "I have been the No. 1 guy everywhere I have been, at Odessa Permian, at Texas and in Detroit, so I don't know what the difference i...



Miles Austin could fly to Jets

9:59 AM Wed, Apr 08, 2009 |
Aaron Chimbel

Cowboys receiver Miles Austin has been getting a lot of attention around here since the team released Terrell Owens.

Rightfully so. Austin has the combination of size (6-3, 216) and speed that great receivers are made of. And he is just 24.

But now the New York Jets are after the Cowboys savior, according to the New Jersey Star-...
