Whether you've reached the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End:

*Only at a Cowboys' training camp can you look on the sidelines one day and see the guys from Deadliest Catch and the next find a dork in an ill-fitting suit and bow tie. Yep, Pee Wee Herman took in practice here at The Alamodome Thursday night. You could fit three of him in Rob Ryan's cargo hold of a belly.

*I've been known to wear the same shirt a couple days in a row, but Jason Garrett dons the same outfit every single practice. At least the same version of the same outfit. Blue sweats. Gray shirt. Blue cap with star logo. My philosophy: Lazy. Garrett's philosophy: "I don't want to think about it a lot. I strive to distinguish myself through my performance, not my clothes." Has anything so un-Dallas ever been uttered? Substance over style is refreshing, no?

*Story I totally don't understand: In a NBA Developmental League where coaches make $85,000, how/why are the Texas Legends offering deposed Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl a package worth $500,000?

*Can't tell you how excited I am about No. 1 draft pick Tyron Smith. After Jay Ratliff absolutely destroyed Montrae Holland in 1-on-1 drills last night, Smith stood him up and stopped him cold twice in a row. As a benefit, he's all "yes sir", "no sir."

*Hard to believe that it's already been a year since Chuck Greenberg/Nolan won the Rangers in a late-night auction.

*Line of camp delivered by TXA 21's pregnant Gina Miller. Upon seeing Ryan's considerable girth, she opined, "He's carrying higher than I am." Touche.

*Hot.

*Not.

*Deion Sanders is a no-brainer Hall of Famer. But, while he played on the team's last title team in '95, he doesn't belong in the Cowboys' Ring of Honor.

*On Thursday we'll be watching football. ~~Real~~ Sorta real Cowboys vs. Broncos in Arlington. The lockout fades fuzzier each day.

*In Thursday night's spirited two-minute drill the defense wreaked havoc on the offense with its constant movement and blitzes from all directions. And yes, Ryan was in mid-season form, including yelling at the rent-a-refs. Cornerback Orlando Scandrick: "Confuse and kill. That's our mind-set."

*Girl in the crowd last night waved a pink homemade sign that read "Marry Me, Miles!" In the history of ever, has that ploy ever worked? And, when you get right to the root of it, isn't she just asking him for money? Surely she doesn't sense they're compatible. Even stranger, the girl holding it was only 15.

*Not sure how or why, but I've seen every Planet of the Apes movie and I'm stoked about this weekend's release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And, yeah, I think it's possible that a gazillion years ago the Earth was all 180. Dogs walking humans as pets. Gorillas as zookeepers. Sportatorium commenters with open minds. Evolution, with a twist.

I do remember Mackey. Christ, he was fast. Had the smallest little chicken legs I've seen, had the calves of a 12-year-old girl, but nobody could catch the guy. Mackey was all about speed, a strong wind could knock him down. He was a thug, and he certainly could have been great if it weren't for that.
I do not apologize. Care to a round of fisticuffs over it?
richard whitt is the iraqi minister of information. no matter what the truth, he says otherwise. a former employee of that station was in the meeting when poor ratings were discussed. dick whitt was ordered to no longer comment on ratings on this here blog. then back in january when the ratings were below a 2 share, he came on said blog and disputed the facts by saying, "not true". i have taken the advice and read past posts. i now see the light.
me neither
we don't care what you like
Did not care for those tunes. In fact, I do not like Paul without Art.
Edie Brickell's husband is jamming out on SNL. And he appears to be twice as tall as RW with 8000 percent more talent, and has less Earrings and rips in his Garanimal dungarees. (lean in real close for this:........POW!)
Richie Shitt does not care for your facts and stuff!
I'm still waiting for Richie to pick me up from the ol folks house, he promised we'd run by In an Out.. My son says it's the "bomb" and "off the hook, Animal style..YEAH!" I'm not quite sure what he means, but as long as he doesn't bring his boyfriend with him..I'll play along. Mother Whitt
Yet you took time out of your prime time douching to comment. POW and Take dat wit ya!!!!
Dang it, nice try by the Redshoes tonight, Cept for Neffy and the Japanese feller..1 of 162 is what I remind meself of. If the FACE hits that first pitch 15 foot to the left..we'd all have a merry Effing Christmas..Cept for Mrs Mayor and Sloppy Jane..they'd be too entangled in each others arms to know what's going on. Pow,Pow,Pow. It's actually nice to have twice the amount of douches in here than normal..or atleast RW posting under fake names.
truer words have not beed spoken, brutha!!!
POW POW!!! I am in.
Headed to Baby Dolls. If I'm lucky I'll show Richie a good enough time that he'll pay me enough to get me by for a while. Hubby just ain't getting the bills paid these days.
and not one single fuck was given...
Sporties, head over to Unfair Park, a real writer by the initials of RW has posted a fine article on David Clyde..good reading.
JSIB will rule w an iron sombrero..no shenanigans allowed! I've sent the info a couple of time to Storm..by replying to an old post ..I'll do the same with moron dog.
Did you get it via a reply?
It is currently set up. I will let JSIB post the information. The SFBL commissioner posted the signup information on here prior to the season and had a random person jump in and draft a team as a bit (all Rangers and nothing but Rangers).
its set up,
Look in the mirror you cock loving bitch, you are the troll. You comment on other peoples comments and never comment on the actual blogpost, which pretty much sums up the definition of troll, you fuckhead
When are yall getting football setup?
Frankie insists on you relaxing, you dipshit. "If this dude's a real writer, THEN I'm a Chinese fighter pilot." Get back to your spelling/grammar flash cards.
wow. thank you for that . what a blind fool i've been. you need to get a life.
I fucked Richie's geriatric mom in the ass last night
Broken shoulder Nightline edition: Elvis takes 2nd on a passed ball, Jham beats out a grounder to short..Lil E never stops running and scores the game winner. WOW. SJ and Ms. mayor still sucks, more real Kergo..and kids, don't Jar! SFBL update: Merk back in 1st, Mert has had a hard week #2, J's bs has somehow snuck into 3rd and Hendricks is stalking me, in 4th..after that we have TnC,Davy and the strugglers. Scruff is still plugging away, and TRDP1 is dragging ass..but within a good weekend of being in 7th..baseball is fun!
MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Douche of all douches=anyone that uses Fucking twice in the same sentence. You Effing Douche, sincerely, all non-douches.
sloppy joe, google any whitts end with "ticket" or "ktck" in it. read the entries post 2007. you see richie was the biggest p1 of all. he was sure he would be named the permanent "plus 1" to the hardline after greggo snorted his career away. however, when he wasnt even asked for a formal interview to be a plus 1, he went on an anti-ticket campaign. to this day he launches unprovoked attacks at the station & hosts. if you're such a fail fan, then you heard richie's "f the ticket" drop. that drop comes from when the tardline announced that they would be replacing gavin & gregg in pm drive. unbeknownst to him, the tardline slashed gavin & gregg's ppm ratings by 75% immediately. in fact, the tardline is responsible for the lowest ratings for a 100k watt signal station for any timeslot in the radio's history worldwide. at least they can hang their backwards caps on that. a few astute commenters have pointed out that ever since the rangers left his station, that he has penned many a negative piece about the red shoes and ignored their 2011 1st place season. allow me to point out that this is the same blogger who not even a yr ago professed his love for the rangers as his favorite team of all. stories about his dad taking him to old arlington stadium have now been replaced by sensational stories alleging that josh hamilton relapsed and was not, in fact, in the hospital for pneumonia. stories about how dare kinsler and colby lewis miss a game for the birth of their children. meanwhile his buddy gavin misses over a wk of his radio shift for the birth of his kid. rw ignores this and lied to his readers about an upcoming piece in which he sits down with colby and kins. but i have digressed. choose to be a fan of him, thats you're prerogative. but when you realize he's no more than a plagiarist and liar dont say you havent been warned. i know the question of "then why do you read" is begging to be asked. i read only to point out to the faithful readers here of the sometimes gross inaccuracies of his statements whether it be sports history or radio ratings. i read so the masses know the truth and not some spin to make a certain someone look good. thats the way radio history go
Irwin M. Fletcher, you choose. Oh boy, I lost. I am Scotch/Romanian. It's an odd combination, but so were my parents. I will have a bloody mary, a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich. My god, Mr. Underhill was pissed that day.
My mom? Sir, I have my own computer. You need better bits.
I neither lick dicks or whore around. You need to settle the fuck down.
Anybody who says they're Davy Crockett is obviously pretending. Davy Crockett was killed and his body burned 175 years ago. After the Meh coup, I will look to decapitate you, Sloppy Joe..slop..sloppy Joe.

I think it's funny...when I look past my fat white gut and see my 2" bite size Italian sausage barely peaking out.
15 year old girls are all about getting attention. I suppose the same can be said of 20-30 somethings I have seen at the ballpark with the same signs. I concur with the person that said she got her attention, winning. I will try really hard to not fall asleep during the pre-season. The odds are long that I succeed. Twitter was better than anything else during the auction proceedings a year ago. Merten was all over it, among others. Seems like it was a long time ago, longer than a year. What exactly are we supposed to be open-minded about? Specifics would be nice. Best line from the entire Apes series "Get your hands/paws off me you dirty ape!" sic I can't remember it exactly, but seeing the shock on their faces was the best part of the whole mess. Forrest Tucker as a gorilla was some interesting casting. Poots! They paint water towers the same way they wash windows on skyscrapers. Ropes and harness and all the requisite gear. This ain't rocket science. Romo goes to piss and rookies have to stay on the field and wet themselves? Oh well, that is the part of the price of being a rookie and the perks of being the starting QB. I remember Edwin Simmons too. Last seen naked and incoherent in some chick's backyard.Life's highway is littered with human wreckage. Most of them never make the papers. Right about now a cooler full of beer and a cold, spring feed creek sounds mighty good. I really don't want to break the records of 80 or 36, but I think we will.
You guy are bitches, bitches, bitches. I only stand for kindness, and sports dignity-as a way to providence and divine wit. Call on me Jesus, call on me, and give me the grand design of 14,000 loving, caring soldiers of truth! And on my golden steed of goodness I ride like a beacon for those destiny those who follow. "Nothing New Here" Best of the Bitching: did you guys just cut and paste the same comments from yesterday? the only difference is the juvenile lewd humor somehow sank to an even lower level. congratulations!
I think it's funny.....hurray nuttkickin', the past time of the ole Sporto! Only thing better is toilet tossin' down a steep embankment. OR, sh$tting in a freinds toilet, leaving the dump, AND hiding the wipage in the trashcan. The host looks down at the carnage, and presto magico, criminy, where is the solied toilet paper? Did an ape do this? So, keep up the good work boys, let's keep givin' owe Mr. R.W. Whitt hell! Paul Harvey (shake voice)...........good day.
Come on, you couldn't at least be more clever than a Fail promo?
did you guys just cut and paste the same comments from yesterday? the only difference is the juvenile lewd humor somehow sank to an even lower level. congratulations!
Dear Little Richie, For my 70th birthday, I'd like to be on the radio. Can you please talk to your friends on The Ticket? Love, Mother
POW!!!!!!!
An open letter to Scruffy: Suck it! PS: Suck it again!
Sounds like the John Coctostan you are talking about is the type of guy who would sneak in to a private club and run up a large food bill on someone elses tab.
Redleather?
I once knew of a John Coctostan. He was of Scotch/Romanian origin. Yes, he displayed a marked lack of professionalism and had to rely most entertainingly upon his wits to overcome that and other character deficiencies. He had never, to my best knowledge, been fucked in the nostril by a buffalo. I believe that on at least one occasion, however, he had hit a water buffalo with his car. There are others that may know more of this individual as his story is known to many.
Besides, it's only a matter of time before his mom tells him she wants her computer back.
Relax. If this dude's a real writer, than I'm a Chinese fighter pilot.
RW, did you email, with a picture of your mother to Dan, for WTDS, so her name can be read on the air, and heard by thousand of listeners?
If you're a real writer and you go to another writer's blog and trash him all the time, your lack of professionalism is offensive in the extreme. Either you're lying or trolling. Probably both. No matter. You're fucking dicklicking whore and you deserve to be fucked in the nostril by a buffalo.
Rose Mary Kennedy post-lobotomy 'peace' given the flotsam that would be left in the aftermath.
Hello Sporties and RW. *The players wear the same uniform every practice and game. I have no problem with my head coach doing it. It shows that he comes to work instead of worrying if he's wearing the same thing over and over. *The Rangers are battling for first place, just thought I'd mention that. Also, can't blame CLee for getting out of this hellhole. 110 degree days suck ass. What's the temp on the field at the good old ball park? *This defense is our only hope. Fuck. *Girls also write signs like that at concerts and just about every football game. It usually gets them noticed and/or on TV. She won. *Your take on evolution is....well, we know you don't do any research, so nevermind. *Home depots and textile mills in this state are filled with guys that were badasses in high school. There's a difference from those guys and the guys that wanted to get to the next level. Also, a good 30 for 30 to watch is Marcus Dupree, the best that never was. *If Raymond Radway makes even the practice squad, you deserve a visit from Sybil's beaver. My money is on Poots. *Happy birthday Mrs. Whitt. Very classy to include that you'll be at a strip club this weekend after announcing your mom's b-day. That deserves a Bob Ortegal "WOWWWW". *Too bad a Republican isn't president right now. We would have gotten some snide comment about the stock market nearly crashing again. I guess this time you couldn't pin what happened yesterday on a Republican, so you abstained. So predictable. Did you forget to give Obama a birthday shout out? Good to see some new faces bringing it in here. Have good everyone.
Richie, please, please, please take one more swipe at the readers. Imagine the peace around here if the six or seven hateful little bitch-ass trolls boycott.
Fuck me. Typos. 30 more today and I'll be demoted to JSIB level of idiocy. Oh, I don't want that. I can't fathom the humiliation...
JSIB is probably a fat ass that drives a truck for a living and spends his free time beating it to Full House reruns. He posts on Richie's blog at midnight on the weekend like a fucking lifeless shithead because he has no friends, and the only people who talk to him are on this blog. He writes in his diary each day how excited he is to refresh Richie's blog every ten seconds so he can be the first to insult someone he's never met, and he gets especially excited clicking like on comments by kergo and a guy who pretends to be Davy Crockett. I was doing your bit of just making up biographical facts about other commenters, but I think most of what I said about you is true.
Hey Rhino, do you remember Roger Mackey from Luling? I never saw Strait play firsthand, but played against Mackey and he was a man among boys. Fits the same background, didn't have to do anything in school, etc. Anyways, fell in with the wrong crowd, drug deal went bad and he was shot execution style with two others in San Antonio. You can have all the talent in the world, but you don't know what you got until it's gone(reference the Cinderella song).
I realize reading comprehension is low on here, but please stick with me on this. Name one time Richie has sais the Fan is better than the Ticket. He said the Fan had its softball game first and was in San Antonio first. One, both of those are true. Two, neither one of those is equal to saying the Fan is better. I doubt Richie even has too much of a problem with the Ticket. I listen to the Ticket when something decent is on. My guess is Richie has more of a problem with the fucking dumbass P1s who lick the Ticket's jizz up off the floor and then claim that the clap-infested cum shot they're soaking up tastes like ice cream.
And a certain pitcher being suspended should give us another win in the next few days. Lets just hope Kinsler stops popping out, he's been a beating to watch the past couple of weeks.
fucktard is my phrase fucktard
Does anybody consider this remotely funny? I'm not a RW apologist, but I am allergic to people who believe they are hilarious and prove time after time that they have nothing...
Fuck me harder, dumbass. Or is ur dick so small you need a dildo and your dick to make me feel anything.
Indeed it is. I made a mistake. There is, however, a basement in The Alamo Giftshop. If I may make one small suggestion: Refrain from buying the Peach and Habanero salsa from said giftshop. Nice and sweet at first, blazing afterwards. Then the all knowing rumble in the tummy of nasty diarrhea for two or three hours post digestion.
I've a serious notion: Shouldn't we all be working? I'm actually a newspaper writer undercover. I was writing about Fat Sam and Gummy and all the drugs on the beach before I stumbled onto Alan Stanwick's scam. Now I'm working on that story.
Greggo's anus?
Speaking of which, the stars doubly aligned for your red shoe'd wonder boys as Beavan and Hernandez are set as spoilers against the rival LAAs this weekend and are thus not scheduled to appear for the Mariners in the three at the BPIA starting Monday.
The ANUS?!?
Armen's Anus?
Try harder...
Yeah, I didn't really understand it either. I guess the fact that Strait could score 40+ points a game on his own, throw a football 70 yards and kick 50-yard field goals kinda shoots Richie's theory all to hell.
Hey bitches, y'all ain't ready for me, richie was practicing his guns up in me last night, only I don't think it was his fingers in me, hey sloppy how'd I taste when you sucked richie off after he plugged me.
Although to be fair, if Richie pestered people to follow him like Greggo does, he might have 200 more followers than a Ticket intern.
"substance over style is refreshing". How in the world can a 40 something man wearing pre ripped jeans, an earring, hat turned backwards, t-shirt under a t-shirt, with hair plugs sit at a computer and seriously type those words?
Regarding Coach Garrett's wardrobe, it does not matter to me what he wears. Fortunately, he wears clothes that are more of someone his age rather than showing up in an Ed Hardy shirt, big, giant cargo shorts, flip flops and a flat billed cap cocked to the side with the sticker still on the bill. Rest assured if my sainted mother's 70th birthday was this weekend, I'll be damned if I would be spending it at a strip joint watching MMA with all of the 20 somethings.
Richie only writes about the Rangers when they go on a losing streak. He rarely writes anything positive about them. We were lucky to get the ONE this week. I am starting to believe he really is butthurt about them jumping ship.
Happy 70th Mrs. Whitt! Great to see that gutter mouth is still working.
They are all Gordon Keith starter kits.....You will see....
The Observer has a sportswriter? Are you sure? I think you have to write about more than one sport to be considered a sportswriter.
What are the details of the Pear contract? $500k for how long? 1-5yrs? Red-ball wearing the same gear each day, really, showing he's boss. Damn, you must have a problem with the military also. Evolution being 180deg out, I tremble just to think about it. My dog having peanut butter on his junk........ Edit: Happy Birthday Mrs. Whitt
I think its Pee-wee. And there's no basement in the Alamodome.
Better go take a nap so you can be on here later...Yawn...
First. why do you have to make everything personal with Richie? Second, you are stealing material from Gordon, really, thats the best you can do?
We never bring up the Ticket before he does. Its always him posting shit like this Will be arriving in San Antonio later this afternoon for training camp and will be broadcasting RAGE from 2-7pm on 105.3 the Fan a week before anyone else. FIRST BITCHES OK, I added that last part but you get the point.
POW POW!
Wait precious, LOTR isn't a documentary about poor Smeagol? Curse you precious! We hates you! (gollum, gollum)
Well well, lookie here, the old End is posted and guess what, it wasn't half bad, but I swear to god if you take one more fucking swipe at your readers, we wil take this mother fucker down, and we will start at the top. I'm pretty sure vvm doesn't want a bunch of its reader boycotting this mag and its advertisers. We've put up with enough of your cocky shit since you became mr radio guy, its time to fix this place or get some fresh blood in here. Its a shame sam merten can't write for the observer bc they employ 1 sportswriter/blogger. He had more info in 1 paragraph than you have in a week. So what's it gonna be whitt?
An RW, divided against itself, cannot stand! Thank you George Costanza...
Broken End: Bigger spare: Peewee Herman or Peewee Whitt? RW wears the same shirt multiple days, Redball wears team colors everyday...way to work yourself into the story. Bruce Pearl is a bad guy, don't know why they would want him...must be alot of Tennesee fans in Allen. The majority of stud highschooolers don't play college ball, and the majority of stud college players don't make it to the pros. Hard to believe the Redshoes got mentioned, well I guess it was more a mention of Greenberg. Primetime was a force his first couple of years here, but not worthy of the ROH. 15 yo girls like signs, nothing more. RW should invite his mom to the lake..she can keep the beer bong loaded up with stones..brah. Evolution with a twist is what happended to you, RW, short..balding..bulging eyes..torn dungarees..Miniature McKinney Man is what the scientists would name your fossilized remains. Just two years and two days ago, a young phenom by the name of Neffy was summoned to the microwave known as Arlington. Mayor of Meh=RW, Sloppy Joe=worst English teacher ever, probably works for Mesquite ISD and listens to the Fail religiously. Have a fun weekend Sportys, stay hydrated and get give and most of all give good.
He pounded his chest as a result of 105.3 playing softball before KTCK 1310AM The Ticket did. He pounded his chest because they arrived in San Antonio before KTCK 1310AM The Ticket did. Listen, I haven't a problem with him having pride in whatever it is he chooses to do. Like the <b><i>GREAT</b></i> Scruff says, the paper and radio are two separate things. Perhaps if we don't bring up KTCK 1310AM The Ticket all of the time, maybe doesn't bring up 105.3 all of the time.
What are the odds that SJ's dog has been neglected out in his parched, shadeless back yard as he types away on his lappy386?
Strait was a great football player in high school. One of the best ever in the state. I don't understand the 'great high school career without being a great player' phrase in the article. But then again I don't understand much of the continuous hornswoggle dished out round these parts.
Jessie Pie Eater coulda saved this boy.........
So much for the civil discourse?
I challenge you to find one single time on this blog where Richie has said the Fan is better than the Ticket. You fucking assholes just make up fucking shit all the damned time. He has repeatedly said that the Ticket dominates local sports talk, but you bitches just make shit up.
Not a bad ender, RW, save fir the open minded comment. Hey Coctostan, you might be a bit queer (in my day, which is how I'm using it, it wasn't derogatory) but if you need a sharp shooter for your coup, give me a call. I can shoot a fly off of a burro's tail 200m.
An open letter to Jerry: Just come out and admit you screwed up the finances and cap and that you're hamstrung for cash. Stop blowing smoke up our asses by saying you can get any free agent you want, anyone with half a brain isn't buying that snake oil. Be honest. I'd respect you far more. Say you're strapped, this season will be tough, and ask us to hang with you. The only people who will get mad are the mouthbreathers who think there's no sport other than football, and they're going to use whatever money they have left after paying child support and the boat payment to come to games anyway. The rest of us might pay more attention rather than dismiss you because you're trying to tell us this team is great as-is. It's mediocre at best. We all know it. An open letter to Richie: Engage us. Listen to us. As readers, not trying to drive us to the station. It's two separate entities. Don't forget that. We tell you all the time what we like and what we want. We're a pain in your ass because you treat us like one. Be witty, not douchey. Be clever, not condescending. Report, don't pimp. I've tried to lay off the personal attacks, but I won't hold back on nutkicking your effort when it seems piss-poor.
What are the odds that's the real Richie Whitt, fucktard?
I have first hand knowledge of what happened to Robert Strait. First of all, he was a total badass and was treated like a god since he was in junior high. You can imagine how warped a teenage boy's sense of reality can get being told that you are the second coming of Christ, where in Cuero, he was. He was 6-2, 220 and ran a legit 4.4. When I was a freshman in high school (he was a sophomore at Baylor), he was goofing around at one of our pre-games and was throwing the football -- I shit you not -- 70 yards downfield. He used to kick 50-yard field goals in practice, and handled kicking duties his record-breaking junior year. His senior year he had zero offensive line and still ran like crazy. But the guy was off. At one of my first practices he showed up and almost challenged a fellow freshman teammate to a fight because of the way he was "eyeballing" him. His choice of colleges was more than bizarre considering EVERY program wanted him. Baylor? Really? He blew out his knee at Baylor, and then he blew up...to about 255 pounds. Upon his return, they converted him to fullback. He had a few good games, but that's about it. There was a rumor circulating that he got into gambling at college, got in over his head. Can't validate that, but wouldn't surprise me. I know he's been arrested at least once, maybe more times. Last I heard he was working at a textile plant in Cuero. I really believe if that guy had gotten away from Texas, went someplace with a bigtime program, he would have been something special. Instead he didn't want to stray far from his homies and family, and I think that was his athletic downfall.
Genius!
