END OF WHITT: 7. 30. 21
* I hate New York, the Knicks stole Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper and Jason Kidd from the Dallas Mavericks, but, again, I love New York, they swallowed Dennis Smith Jr.
But wait, I hate New York even more, we were accused of Kristaps Porzingis.
No, I love New York because the Yankees released the Texas Rangers of Alex Rodriguez and Rougned Odor, and sent us other people like Jon Wetteland, Mickey Rivers and Goose Gossage.
No, I hate, because the Yankees put billy Martin, Sparky Lyle and Chad Curtis on us. Oh, and we got Gaylord Perry and Ruben Sierra. I certainly hate it. And no more hatred of New York, because only the Giants took dallas cowboys players like Everson Walls, Dwayne Harris and Chris Canty, recycled Herschel Walker from us and the Jets carried Bill Parcells down our throats.
I hate New York now because it took Joey Gallo, but I enjoyed New York because it gave DFW a guy named Tom Landry.
I’m in New York.
* Sorry Simone Biles, the GOAT doesn’t give up. The greatest decorated gymnast in U. S. history has a history whose dreams are made: she overcame an impoverished formaus years in Houston and the sexual abuse at the hands of the U. S. Gymnastics medical team of an American hero and a positive role model.
but. . . he doesn’t get a pass for abandoning his teammates at the Tokyo Olympics.
Imagine: Dak Prescott wins some NFL MVPs, proclaims himself the most productive quarterback in football history and leads the Cowboys to the Super Bowl, but then, in the final quarter, the tension of the moment hit him and he pulled out of the game. He stayed on the sidelines and waved a towel among his teammates, but the Cowboys lost.
Is Dak praised for his “courage”? No, fuck.
When Biles adorned her jersey with a GOAT rhinefish diamond logo, she drew attention to herself and asked for our attention and adoration. As the Bible verse says, “To whom much is given, a wonderful treatment is needed.
Biles would possibly have suffered a crisis of intellectual fitness in Japan under what she called the “weight of the world,” but she self-inflicted. He proclaimed himself a GOAT. She voluntarily accepted million-dollar sponsorship deals with Nike, Nabisco and Uber for the American face of the 2020 Olympics.
You can’t aesthe yourself as the prettiest woman in the world and then hide from the cameras on a bad day of hairstyle.
Look, intellectual fitness is a genuine challenge and society has come a long way in learning its debilitating effects on athletes. But if Biles felt that overwhelming tension when he entered the Olympics, he retired before the chance and gave his place to a more competent teammate. That would have been brave. But in old terms, Biles “choked. “
Although I sympathise, I also refuse to grant him a justified absence. It carried a flashing neon sign that demanded our attention. Now it needs us to look the other way as it collapses under pressure.
Sorry, the GOATS don’t give up.

* Unsurprisingly, many other people disagree with my opinion of Biles, including Prescott, who made public his COVID intellectual fitness issues and after his brother’s suicide in 2020.
“I’m honest and transparent about myself and my struggles, and I tell other people that it doesn’t matter if you don’t get better,” Prescott said. “These are his decisions (to withdraw from Olympic competition). Obviously, she felt things that didn’t necessarily make her play comfortable. I sense where it comes from. It is not for me to judge.
* A busy night in the NBA draft saw a top-level alumnus, Arlington Bowie (Cade Cunningham), choose the number one device overall, triple-double device Russell Westbrook was traded for LeBron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers and your Mavericks. . zzz.
His possible options had long since disappeared, thanks to the trades acquired by Porzingis (first round) and J. J. Redick/Nicolo Melli.
yes, ouches.
* Languishing in the midst of a long rebuild, we’re not surprised that the Rangers have traded Gallo to the Yankees. Nor do we, if history has taught us anything, judge the agreement quickly. We know Gallo hit “bombs” and “#joeyjacks” with epic start speed to blow up fireworks at Globe Life Field, and we’ll miss that. He was a local product who was loyal, played hard and became an elite defender. What we don’t know is what the Rangers were given in return: shortstop Josh Smith (prospect No. 14 of the Yankees through MLB Pipeline), point guard Ezequiel Duran (No. 15), outfielder Trevor Hauver (No. 23) and pitcher Glenn Otton (No. 28) The agreement exchanged the forecast of a prospective future.
Don’t like it? Wait. Deep breathing.
14 years ago, Rangers 47-59 hitter Mark Teixeira hit the Atlanta Braves by a bushel of no one. Three years later, Elvis Andrus, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Neftali Feliz and Matt Harrison helped the Rangers in the World Series.
* Well, those two months of living without a mask — or without worries — were fun. Thanks to the un vaccinated, it’s over again.
Mask mandates for the interior are looming as the delta variant of COVID mutates and spreads. Baylor Scott
Do you think you know more about COVID and its vaccine than healthcare professionals?No, it is not. Now, get vaccinated, so that this persistent pandemic doesn’t get worse until it gets better.
* How does the Football Hall of Fame mix two elegances in a weekend?With a kind of “delivery” at home. When the Cowboys kick off the soccer season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in the Hall of Fame game, it will likely be the busiest weekend in Canton, Ohio history. will be admitted.
But also, let’s not leave the elegance of 2020, adding the Cowboys’ Cliff Harris, who was postponed last year because of COVID.
Pfhof organizers will restrict 2020 presenters to videotaped “speeches. “
The Cowboys have only general reasons to be concerned, and lately they don’t employ reserve quarterbacks who can calm concerns.
Now, despite his prestige as an eternal professional bowler, is Dallas dissatisfied with Amari Cooper?
Brown’s credit is his experience. But it can give Joseph credit.
“They came straight into my space and recorded it,” said former Cowboys deep charlie waters, who will introduce his co-safety and lifelong friend, Harris. “It will be to squeeze two, but Cliff feels his elegance is going to get the attention he deserves. I am convinced that my video will constitute my emotions about Cliff.
Waters told me he would be in Canton next week for the revelation of Harris’ immortal bust. The focus of his key speech: “Every week, Coach Landry showed us an offensive player from the other team we had to play on. . . . that we can let ourselves fight. Well, Cliff just came out and took off a part of them at the start of the game. He had a ruthless way of following the game plan.

* I am registered as tolerant of dogs and we all intend to hate our ex’s, however, I have a sweet and tearful position for both of us this week. Before meeting her, Sybil Summers was alerted through an Arlington neighbor about a mysterious laundromat. basket in the middle of the street. What it contained repositioned his life – and had a positive effect on mine – forever. A small group of malnourished Pit Bull/Boxer puppies was in this basket. Traumatized and with wide-open eyes. Frightened, silent and confused, tied with duct tape and a telephone cable, she was presumed dead, perhaps even tortured.
Those of you who know my ex-wife realize that she is the #1 attorney for DFW dogs. She tirelessly sells dog charities, organizes puppy events and even runs as a hobby game as a dog caretaer. Sybil kept the puppy from the basket of dirty laundry. he took her to the vet for injections and computer viruses, and gave her total cereal milk. She named him “Duncan” in honor of the San Antonio Spurs superstar (hey, no fairy tale is perfect) and gave him a healthy and fulfilled life. for about 15 years.
I lived with Duncan, Ate with Duncan, ran with Duncan, moved in with Duncan, fell in love with Duncan. C is a sweet soul and an obedient friend who, you can say, enjoys being every day. .
Horrible news this week when Sybil called me to tell me that Duncan was going to be shot, his body devastated by cysts and tumors.
I accompany them and get them at the vet on Friday morning. R. I. P. , Duncan.
*Hot.
*No.
* Even when he’s away from the Mavs, Luka Doncic is going down in history. After his meteoric Tokyo debut for Slovenia, he is now the player who has played a 45-point game in both the NBA and the Olympics.
* Speaking of Waters, for my money, he will be the next cowboy to enter the Ring of Honor. Suddenly, Gil Brandt was the last to enter in 2018. We know Jerry Jones will meet players like Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware and Jason Witten soon. But Waters’ resume requires a review:
He played in Super Bowls and won two. Several All-Pro and Pro. A Bowls played 12 seasons in Dallas, never on a team with a record loss. Still third on the team’s all-time interceptions list. The NFL’s all-time list of playoff interceptions. He also blocked six punt shots in his career and twice won the “Hero Unsung” award from Sports Illustrated.
“It’s daunting and I’m waiting from it,” Waters says. “But it’s a struggle. I don’t know the answer to why I’m not. You’ll have to ask Jerry, one’s committee. “
Waters said he loved the letters of advice for Ring of Honor written through his teammates to Jones.
“I will read them from time to time to encourage me,” he admits. At least I know what my teammates think of me, and that’s enough for me. It should be. “
Waters, for what it’s worth, played quarterback at top school and as a clemson catcher before being put up for protection with the Cowboys.
“Never in my life had I made a decision,” he joked, “but that Gil Brandt is the genius. “
* It didn’t take long for the domino effect of nil. Now that the school’s players have earned the credit for their “name, symbol, and likeness,” everyone needs a share of the pie, even those who aren’t in school yet.
Southlake Carroll quarterback Quinn Ewers is the number one college football player in America. At just 18, he has 82,000 fans on Instagram and has verbally committed to gambling at Ohio State. You also have, of course, a preference to make as much money as you can imagine as soon as you can imagine. Since Texas’ top school regulations prohibit player monetization, Ewers said this week that he’s seriously considering giving up his senior season at Southlake Carroll to signal early at Ohio State where, of course, he can start charging his NIL.
Worrying accidental consequences? Or capitalism in action?

* Some NFL players would like to have the Yankees’ 3-4-5 hitters – Aaron Judge (6-7, 282), Giancarlo Stanton (6-6, 245) and Gallo (6-5, 235) – along their defensive line.
* Underrated sporting good fortune in our backyard: Rockwall’s Black Star Sport Horses equestrian isabella Fielder has qualified for the prestigious FEI North American Junior Championship (NAYC) and will compete with more than two hundred athletes from 8 countries. Johann Hinnemann at the Black Star this week to help “Bella” prepare for the NAYC. Hinnemann is one of the most sought-after dressage apprentices in the world and has 3 academics competing in the Tokyo Olympics.
* For the past 365, the Rangers are 58-102. But hey, at least we have air conditioning! Obviously, the weather lay behind to win. Example: This year, the Rangers are betting 30 games below 0. 500 average of 27. 589 in the 72-degree air-conditioned comfort of Globe Life Field. By the end of July 2011, DFW was in the middle of its recorded summer time with 40 consecutive days of over a hundred degrees. Series season at Globe Life Park outdoors: 36,382.
* One last dandy from Waters: to “get a fair idea” for the educational camp, he drove his motorcycle 3 times from Dallas to Thousand Oaks, California. “I would stay in those little motels along the way and relax,” he said. “It’s my adventure to start my longest adventure. “
They don’t make NFL players like they used to.
* Kraft introduced a macaroni-flavored cheese-flavored ice cream this week and sold out in two hours, causing the company to collapse. Surprisingly, the United States is the largest country on the planet.
* RANGERS RISK: We all think the Texas Rangers are going to be putrid this season. Our small circular table revealed expected win totals between 61 and 78, yet no one believes 0. 500 is plausible. Let’s put our money where our mouth is. I’m going to bet $100 in virtual opposition to the Rangers on each and every game this season and, after six months and 162 games, I’ll see where I end up. in September I will distribute (wink) my earnings to my maximum of unwavering readers. REGISTRATION: 36-66 TOTAL: $1364.
* Shouldn’t we be a little involved with the pain in Prescott’s shoulder?He and the team say it’s nothing, but with all the time he spent outside the box rehabilitating his ankle, shouldn’t his arm have been fresher and more powerful than ever when?Entering education camp?And a week at Oxnard involved many more launches than a week of OTA recently in Frisco?
I hope it’s nothing, but . . .
*This weekend? Friday is to say goodbye to an old friend. Saturday through Sunday, head to Hawkins Lake in East Texas. Do it now, because next week at this hour will be the football season. a stranger.
