I'm ready for some Mavs action, yes, even with the Cowboys clicking

I love the Dallas Cowboys. And I love the Dallas Mavericks. And Kevin Sherrington explains why this may be the Mavs year --- to finish, perhaps, somewhere near the top. Maybe. If they can stay healthy. If Josh Howard can...


Cuban + Perot = irreconcilable differences

Gitcher popcorn for Billionaire Smackdown! Ross Perot Jr. is suing Mark Cuban for allegedly funneling American Airline Center arena profits into the Mavericks franchise, thus cutting minority partners (including Perot) out of their share. I won't pretend to comprehend all...


Mark Cuban vs. Kenyon Martin

Yes, I would pay to see a steel cage match involving these two, who're still engaged in a war of words. Martin reportedly called Cuban a "coward" for not apologizing to him in person; and Cuban alleged that Martin called...


Congrats to the Dallas Mavs!

Yeah, I know, the team didn't win it all this year. They suffered a season-ending blow at the hands of the NBA gold-digging Denver Nuggets last night. I watched -- in agony -- as another season went down the tubes....


Why don't I care more about Dirk's girlfriend problems?

There's something the matter with me, I guess. Having been in this business from a pup, I can usually dope out why something makes a big story. But this Dirk's-woman thing just doesn't seem to rise to the level of...


Is it too early to start thinking parade route for the Dallas Mavericks? The Texas Rangers?

It doesn't take much for Dallas sports fans, including myself, to get the "this-is-our-year" fever. My cohorts are absolutely giddy about the Rangers starting the season 3-0 (the score's 11-3 Texas in the fifth inning of today's game). And I'll...


Twitter-happy Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal plans visit to JFK assassination site

Reporter Dan X. McGraw has some non-conspiratorial news from Dealey Plaza: Who was that 7-foot-1, 300-pound lug of a man at Dealey Plaza today? If he holds true to his plans, it would be none other than Shaq. Unless, of...


Dallas high school team that lost 100-0 gets an invitation from Mark Cuban

Much fallout today in the national press from Barry Horn's stories about the Christian school that drubbed an overmatched girls' basketball team 100-0. When I woke up, Mike & Mike in the Morning were talking about it on ESPN. My...


Mark Cuban's insider trading gaffe

"Well, now I'm screwed," an irate Mark Cuban allegedly said four years ago when told that his shares of an Internet stock were about to take a beating. He used the insider tip to dump the stock anyway, even though...


A final salute to Josh Howard....

Well, at least I hope we've heard the last of the Dallas Mavericks' once-promising young player, whose star is no longer shining so bright in Big D. Sorry it took me a while to get around to talking about the...


Back in the saddle

I've got a newfound appreciation for back problems. I got hit head-on last month, thought I was OK and tried to get on with my routine, only to find out I might have a ruptured disc or two. MRI revealed...


Exclusive: Ragland the cause of Avery Johnson's firing

James, please don't ever nominate me for Texan of the Year. I've got a mortgage. A Ragland column on Dec. 11, 2006: Hope I don't jinx Avery Johnson. I'm drafting the unheralded philanthropist and celebrated coach of the Dallas Mavericks...


It's official: Avery Johnson fired as Dallas Mavs' head coach

Avery Johnson's firing as coach of the D-Mavs proves one thing: Character, commitment, hard work -- none of that matters in sports, no matter what team owners and managers tell you. Winning is all that matters. I'm surprised that the...


Ever the optimist, I think the Mavs will go ahead and play Game 3

Steve, I feel your pain. Ed, I hear what you're saying. I'm convinced the Mavs will go ahead and play Game 3. Depending on how that goes, they might even show up for Game 4. The optimist in me is...


I could barely stomach the Mavs

I felt nauseous again watching Jason Kidd record his 100th triple double of his career. It's not what you think. The home team, our dark-horse NBA title favorites D-Mavs, actually looked good last night against the Big Easy Hornets. And...
