University Park- SMU - The Mavs practice looks much the same as previous days before. Coach Carlise is optimistic about his big guys (centers) Alexis Ajinca (pronounced ah-lek-SEE ah-GIN-sa), Tyson Chandler, the return of Brendan Haywood and Ian Mahinmi (pronounced in english Ian or French (Yan).
Newly acquired Tyson Chandler 7-1 center from Dominguez High School in California has been traded 5 times with his last trade being to Dallas. I'll bet by NBA break, he'll be traded a 6th time. Note: In this industry, when a player has been traded many times they are referred to as NBA journeymen.
Returning for his second year with the Mavs is Brendan Haywood another 7 footer, who played better than Erick Dampier last season. Glad to see him back and Damp gone. Damp reminded me of former Maverick Center James Donaldson:) For those of you who rarely get out to the games this season, there will be fan jam on Tuesday October 5th at 7pm at the American Airlines Center (AAC) FREE!
Spoke to President of Basketball Operations and General Manager, Don Nelson who is also the The Texas Legends D-League owner about his upcoming season which starts Nov.30th in Frisco, Texas. He refers to them as the "Mavericks young guns of the NBA". This team is known as one of the development league of the NBA, Mavericks version. He is very excited about the upcoming season. Hometown legend Spud Webb is President of Basketball Operations and my girl Nancy Liberman as the head coach. Nancy is the first female coach to coach an all male basketball team in history. You go girl!
Donnie is excited about the upcoming season with the Mavs, hoping the big guys will relieve some of the pressure off Dirk so he can focus on the forward position and play the center spot down the stretch if needed.
Coach Carlise seems to think that the new guys are picking up the offense fairly well.....well enough to get out and play against each other in a blue and white scrimmage game which is usually held during practice sessions. I pressured Carlise on the offensive rebounding game letting him know that this writers pet peeve is second chance points. He said he would work on offensive boards just for me this season:)
Kidd shares the same enthusiam, as always, about the new season (didn't ask him about his daughter, Cheyenne posing in lingerie...didn't think it was appropriate).

Jason Kidd's 17 year daughter poses in Lingerie!
By Channing Jemerson
According to Media Take Out.com Jason Kidd's 17 year old daughter Cheyenne Kidd says that her dad, Jason Kidd is an absent father and has been most of her life! Now, before I go further, allow me to go on record saying I like Jason regardless.....he is not the only absentee father in the country.
Cheyenne (who is the spitting image of her dad) is older and has begun to show signs that she misses her father being in her life. Apparently, she's acting out posing in lingerie! Next, she'll be posing NUDE!
No father would approve of their daughter posing in lingerie absent or not. I'm sure Cheyenne wants a father, daughter close relationship with her dad and wants him to reach out to her as a father. Jason can't be happy with his daughter with this type of exposure. Being fair and balance, Kidd was not available for comment at the time of this story. It's not too late for father and daughter to build a solid relationship.
Who knew Jason had a 17 year old daughter. Just how many kids does the Mavericks Guard have? I do know this; he does have a 6 month old not sure if the baby is a boy or girl.

Rangers Josh Hamilton will play Friday?
By Katrina King
Arlington, Tx - Rangers Josh Hamilton is swinging the bat pretty decent and he is optismistic about being in the line up on Friday. Not surprising, most injured players are anxious to get back in the line up regardless of their injuries, especially in games such as these.
Washington, Rangers manager, wants the slugger back too. Hamilton has been sideline with two bone fractures in his right rib cage. Slowly migrating back into the line up, Hamilton must begin taking live pitches on Thursday if he and Wash expect him to be in Friday night lineup.

Cowboys Dez Bryant stuck with a $54,000 dinner bill!
By Tina Marie (Dallas)
Dez, you should have carried Roy Williams shoulder pads for free. Roy got you good! I don't know of any rookie who was hit deep in the pockets for not carrying shoulder pads. I'm willing to bet that whatever the young rookie is ask to do from now on, he'll do it. Both Dez Bryant and Roy williams were not available for comment, that's okay, really don't need their comment the bill spoke volumes!
$54,000.00 that's a yearly salary for someone, especially with the way the job market and the economy is today. WOW!!! 54k for food and drinks. Now the whole world knows about Dez Bryant and what his ego got him into.
Dez, you are a rookie, rookies do stuff they don't want to do.....it is tradition! If you didn't know, now you do. The entire world laughs at you!

Dallas Mavericks Training Camp begins today.
By Katrina King
Wow....another season begins and the Mavs team players are excited about another the season and returning players as well as the new players. Dominique Jones is a favorite to watch. Coach Rick Carlise said: "He's a real hard worker and will fit in the offensive well". Coach Carlise feels with the height and the depth that the new players along with the new acquired players will be a good chemistry mix. " They will find a way to fit in naturally with the rest of our personnel, so we're excited". We are a better team ( so he seems to think)than last season.
On offensive boards: The Mavericks have had a poor history of getting the offensive boards. they are mnot known for their offensive rebounds. When Carlise is asked about the offensive boards his comments are vague.....he seems to think that it may be a conflict with the 2 and 3 forward
Coach Carlise is sporting a new hair cut for the season, actually it's very becoming on him. I wonder if he was wearing a toupee before. Anyway, back to the game....Mavericks will be conducting two a days for the first 2 days of training camp. So far, coach likes what he sees. Wants to be more focus on the offensive game this season. I asked about offensive rebounding and how can the Mavs incorporate that in the game plan during practice.

Houston Texans (2-1) Lose to the Cowboys (1-2)
By Katrina King
They didn't even have the defense to keep them in the game and they - the Texans- were pick to win the game by 3. They entered the game sluggish although Andre Johnson was seemingly shut down early in the first half with an ankle injury (7-4-64) 7 attempts, 4 catches 64 yards.. They scored a field goal in the first quarter, yet showed signs of sluggishness. The Texans have won 6 stright games coming off last season performance against the Cowboys.
Cowboys #94DeMarcus Ware had 3 sacks in the game. He too, needed to show up in todays game....and he did putting constant pressure on Texans quarter back Matt Leinart. Matt Leinart scored in the fourth for the Texans with a 1:15 left to play.
Wade Phillips tied his fathers(Bum Phillips) record for wins against a Houston team. His dad was head coachof the Houston Oilers. He retired in 1985 and resides in Texas. Proud to see his son and grandson (Wes Phillips, coordinator for the Cowboys).
Dallas intercepts the ball with :44 left in the game by #40 and get the ball back and began to snap it....meaning with seconds left in the game and leading the game by a good percentage - they do not have to call a play.
The Cowboys win 26-13

What's gotten into Roy Williams?! The Runnin' Game.
By Katrina King
Two touch downs in Sundays game against the Texans. Romo's happy, Wade is happy, Mr. Jones is happy and the rest of the Cowboy organization. This is the best the Cowboys have played since the season began. Roy w. had 5 catches and 2 touchdowns. What on earth has gotten into #11 ? I'll tell you what I think....Roy wants to keep his job....not onlyy that he wants to show that he still can play this game. So, he's working hard.
Wait, I am going to say something about the Houston Texans but there is too much to say about the Cowboys. "From the end of the first quarter on Dallas has pretty much dominated this game", said Joe Buck, NFL Commentator Fox Sports.
Marion Barber, Felix Jones weren't bad. When Barber is on a roll you would think the Cowboys would feed him the ball and let him run until Houston makes a stop. The was a MUST WIN game for the Cowboys.

Keith Brooking Make Plays for Cowboys!
By Tina Marie
Houston, Texas.......Dallas opened up the third quarter with an interception by # and a touch down by #11 roy Williams. Romo shows signs of finding his mojo, he gets his first touchdown of the 2010 season. As I said in an earlier blog.....it is possible for the Cowboys to have good game despite the 0-3 season openers.
As a sportswriter, I'm always looking for women to participate in sports in terms of reading and watching the game. I notice on the Cowboys webpage chat forum, there are plenty women chattin' about the plays and players regarding the game.
Keith Brooking made a couple of offensive plays for the Cowboys aiding in putting the Cowboys in scoringn positions. The Texans struggle most of the game with their offensive plays........and I had the audacity to pick the Texans to win.....going against my home team. I will never go against the home team again. Cowboys lead 17-6 in the 4th quarter.
My colleague, Pam Oliver is on the scene doing sideline reports. You go girl!!!
The official had multiple plays in the game. It must be new. He had to say" excuse me a minute". At some point didn't know what he was talking about.......sounds like the referee is a newbie to the league. The entire stadium began to laugh at his uncertainity calling the game.
