Down. But certainly not out. It’s tough to demote a quarterback with five touchdowns, the NFL’s most 20+-yard passes and a 3-0 record. But it’s also tough to ignore Tony Romo’s Red Zone gaffes. Against Cleveland Romo threw an interception in the end zone. Against Philadelphia he tried to make…
Jennifer Colli Jennifer Colli’s mighty impressive bio is still up on the SMU women’s basketball page, but the 5-foot-10 guard from Flower Mound is no longer on the team — which is why she has sued the school in U.S. District Court in Dallas. She claims the school illegally yanked…
Dallas Independent School District supporters, take note: Today at noon, superintendent Michael Hinojosa will deliver his annual State of the District speech to the Dallas Regional Chamber, which no doubt knows the state of the district — broke and broken. You’ll find Hinojosa at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel on N…
On Saturday, “FloMoDad” posted to the YouTubes the video below, in which a banana chases a gorilla across the football field during Flower Mound’s homecoming game Friday night. But, you’ll see some cops initially didn’t find Curtis Patton and Sean Kight’s senior prank terribly funny, as one of the guys…
Richard Chamberlain, whose name is somewhere in the moniker of his steak house on Belt Line Road, got to play “Chef on a Shoestring” over the weekend on one of CBS’s morning shows. But did he stick to his $40 budget? –Robert Wilonsky…
For those trapped on southbound Stemmons Freeway yesterday around 5 p.m., this was the reason for the snarl. The missus took this photo as we exited eastbound I-30 onto Stemmons. –Robert Wilonsky…
By now you’ve surely noticed that Friday’s stock market gains have been adiosed by today’s 372-point drop in the Dow Jones, courtesy frayed nerves over the bailout plan and oil rising by some $16 a barrel. Close to home, some local players suffered major stock plunges — Brinker International chief…
Over the weekend, Don — didn’t catch his last name — was at Dallas Farmers Market collecting petitions for the no-hotel folks. Amazing how many farmers market shoppers claim they are not registered to vote in Dallas County … Citizens Against the Taxpayer-Owned Hotel, which has already changed its name,…
Dianna Wray Two months after Big Tex’s well-documented wardrobe change, the big guy arrived back at Fair Park this morning, three days before the opening of the State Fair of Texas. He’s been “gently aged” — meaning, Tex now has a few more laugh lines — and touched up elsewhere,…
This Dallas golfer took out his giant, gaudy belt buckle and whipped Europe’s ass. Nice. Man, I haven’t been this wrong since I touted this guy to be your son’s next role model. But, gladly, I’ll admit I was ass-backward incorrect about the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Without Tiger Woods,…
Harry Wilonsky I handed the boy the camera yesterday as he looked for something to do during the Texas Rangers’ 81st loss of yet another interminable season. (On the plus side, it was Fan Appreciation Day.) Whilst scrolling through his photos, I came across this nice one of Nolan Ryan…
Ghassan Elashi With federal prosecutors making a second run at Richardson-based Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development officials, after their first attempt last year ended up in a more-or-less mistrial, the daughter of one of the defendants today writes about Part II for The Huffington Post. Noor Elashi’s a…
This was the weekend to talk about talking like a pirate, swill giant brews in Addison and kiss your summer goodbye. Course, that also means it’s nearly time for chicken-fried bacon at the fair — three days and counting, as Big Tex is put in his place this morning. Photos…
In addition to LBJ tollway talk today, the council’s Transportation and Environment Committee will also discuss — if I read this right — building a 3,400-foot-long “people mover” connecting the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Denton Drive station to Love Field Airport. At a cost of — again, if I read…
Flickr photo: flygraphix As always, you’ll find on Flickr plenty of photos from the Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade yesterday, which snaked its way down Cedar Springs Road from Douglas Avenue to Lee Park. This just happens to be a personal favorite. If nothing else, seems much more thought-out than…
LBJ Freeway, which wasn’t built in the 1960s with the expectation it would carry nearly 300,000 cars a day, is a mess: It’s infrastructure is aging, it’s congested most of the time, and it gets a little bit worse every day. That’s from the city council Transportation and Environment Committee’s…
Marion Barber and the Cowboys dove into a relatively easy win at Lambeau Field. *Been predicting this (12:58 entry) for almost a year now. But when the Cowboys finally called a Patrick Crayton pass, it was a harmless floater into double coverage that was almost intercepted. Hardly worth the wait…
DISD trustee Ron Price Moments ago, near the end of the nearly three-hour-long DISD board meeting — before the board went behind closed doors to talk about the superintendent in front of his face — trustee Ron Price said, “This is a critical moment in Dallas Independent School District’s history.”…
Schutze is at 3700 Ross Avenue, and he’ll provide a wrap-up from the board meeting during which the trustees and superintendent Michael Hinojosa will likely declare a state of financial emergency following last week’s $64-million budget shortfall revelation. That said, Allen Gwinn’s very, very good at this kind of thing…
I’m not going to link to the AbortionNO.org site, because, frankly, it’s too graphic — there’s even a warning on the site, which proudly claims it’s “graphically exposing the injustice of abortion.” And, look out, it’s graphically exposing it all over town today: Patrick “Buzz” Williams and I were just…
A star is born. Speaking of tennis and the Davis Cup and local athletes, I almost forgot to mention Mitchell Krueger. In fact, I did forget. Until now. Who he, you ask? With any luck, and some computer click support from you, he could be the December cover boy on…
What you see above is an artist’s rendering of the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in Glen Rose, should Luminant be allowed to expand the plant from two units to four. Notes Luminant in its media release, sent in advance of an applicaton filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: “These…
