Daryl "Razor" Reaugh says there hasn't been an NHL center conduct himself and play the way Morrow is for the Stars since Messier. Is he right?

One thing is certain: Morrow and Turco took it to the Sharks.

It's all about character, boys and girls. What kind of person you are from the inside out. Integrity!

Pettitt has it. Clemens doesn't... http://sportsnorts.blogspot.com/2008/05/clemens-is-no-pettitt.html

Why did Mark Cuban feel the need to fire Avery Johnson so urgently? He fired him over the phone, for crying out loud!

Could it be that there is someone he has his eye on?

Mark Cuban had his finger on the trigger...and didn't even wait until he was in town to pull it. One day after the most recent Dallas Mavericks' playoff disaster, Cuban fires coach Avery Johnson...over the phone.

Only one thing surprises me about this...

SportSnorts is a fan-based North Texas sports blog. Objectivity is a myth. We know it. We admit it. We embrace it!

Get hot sports opinions from a lifelong lover of all things sports related, all things Texas...and especially, all things COWBOYS!

We are now going to more of a podcasting format. More sports talk, less writer's cramp. Yup! The introductory podcast is about 8 minutes long...because, hey, had to catch up. Most will be more like 3 minutes in length. "Stand up. Speak up. Shut up." My Dad always said.

Check us out.

Detroit seems like the classic trap game for the high-flying Dallas Cowboys. Coming off an emotional win over the Green Bay Packers, having played - and won - three huge games in just twelve days, sitting fat and happy in the catbird's seat, one might expect a letdown from the Boys come Sunday.

The mere suggestion of Jason Garrett to New York as the Giants' next head coach has to make any Cowboys' fan physically ill. Surely, the football gods would not permit such a travesty!

It is hard to fathom, but the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team actually seems better this year...without Kevin Durant, the second player taken in the NBA draft.

This is a nice piece on a very understated, but hard-to-overlook spoke in the Cowboys' offensive wheel...

Dear Billy Boy,

Getcha popcorn ready! You figure to have the best seat in the house when the upstart Boys from Big D exact revenge and snatch the baton from your greasy, grimy, filthy, cheating hands come February 3...

Here's something about the impending Cowboys-Packers game I bet many of you didn't know: a dyed-in-the-wool, Wisconsin born-and-bred Cheesehead is a member of the Cowboys' pregame broadcast team. Bob Sturm of Sports Radio 1310, The Ticket, writes about his upcoming quandary...

Some of you are long enough in the tooth to remember when a player was drafted by the team he would likely spend all - or at least the bulk - of his career serving. Back then, you cheered for your "team," and you knew who they were. You knew their names and their numbers. You knew their strengths and their weaknesses. And you knew they were your team...

As the game of the year approaches between the 10-1 Cowboys and the 10-1 Packers, the Wisconsin State Journal has produced a very nice article about Tony Romo. They chronicle how he has gone from consideration as the potential heir to the Favre throne to the crowned prince of Dallas.

Even without Durant, the Runnin' Horns can get it done, as they proved against 7th ranked Tennessee...

Once again, Mack Brown was out-maneuvered and out-coached in a rivalry game, this time by the embattled Dennis Franchione of A&M. Texas has made a living off fourth quarter comebacks this season. But the hole the Aggies dug and threw them in this time was just too deep to climb out of.
