by Kent Sterling Some guys get it, some guys don’t, and then there is Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who today announced the restructuring of quarterback Tony Romo’s deal to shave $10 million off the Cowboys 2014 salary cap number. That will serve the Cowboys well in 2014, but it 2015 Romo’s new deal will […]
by Kent Sterling The first test of the new replay system for Major League Baseball was a disaster. An already slow game was halted for more than 4 1/2 minutes as two plays at first base were challenged – and upheld. Whoever designed this system has no interest in efficiency, which is not surprising as […]

When the microphone was turned off, I asked him about playing […]
