IRVING, Texas -- Ask Dallas Cowboys players to describe Tony Romo and one word keeps emerging: cool. It makes sense considering how he's handled the last month.

Depending on whom you ask, the project is either Dallas' opportunity to reinvent itself as a "world-class city" or an example of the city's weakness for business-driven policy and political bickering. Or both. In its current incarnation- known as the Balanced Vision Plan - the project envisions a central municipal park complete with lakes, paved trails crisscrossing the Trinity's extant 30-foot levees, sports fields with solarpowered lighting, and a Whitewater course. It encompasses the neglected Great Trinity Forest- more than 6,000 acres of undeveloped land just four miles from downtown. Levee projects, initially developed during the 1960s to protect impoverished and flood-susceptible areas south of downtown, have been resuscitated. A chain of man-made wetlands will absorb runoff from...

Ask 7-year-old Dallas Hill what he likes best about playing hockey, and he delivers a quick one-word answer: scoring. Watch the Vancouver first-grader fly around the ice at Mountain View Ice Arena, and it quickly becomes clear this game is about much more than goals.

LOS ANGELES - Scott Niedermayer still has more than a month and a half to get ready for his big night and he plans to utilize every minute. Niedermayer, whose No. 27 will be retired by the Devils in a ceremony prior to their Dec. 16 game against Dallas at Prudential Center, said he hasn't had a chance to ask Scott Stevens and Ken Danekyo about the nights in 2006 when their numbers were retired by the team.

How quickly can things change in the NFC East? Ask the Dallas Cowboys, who dropped from first to last Sunday with one flick of quarterback Drew Bledsoe's wrist. Just one-half game separates the four teams in the division, which recently has been owned by the Philadelphia Eagles. That's not the case anymore. The NFC East is wide open, with the bulk of the infighting yet to occur.

Defending Dwyane Wade is a complicated task. Ask the Dallas Mavericks, who couldn't do it with the National Basketball Association championship trophy on the line last June.

This is becoming an annual rite, but I have to ask the question again, the same one I asked after the Dallas game two years ago, and the Cleveland game a year ago. How much more of this can a Bills fan take? I can definitely imagine how they feel," Donte Whitner said Monday night after the Bills blew an 11-point lead and lost the Monday night opener to the Pats, 25-24. "They feel the same way I feel.

DALLAS - Ask almost anyone in NASCAR and you get the same answer: The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is what Nextel Cup used to be. It looks like the best racing in NASCAR," said veteran Cup driver Mark Martin, who is joining the truck series next year. "Every driver I've talked to that runs the series loves it. That's what I want to do. It looks like fun.

Sports Illustrated. Just a prodigiously gifted writer. And very political. He wrote a terrific book called Why Black Men Tend to Shout, about more than just sports. Even in the title of that book you see critical analysis, because that's what [Ralph Wiley] always wanted to look at. If somebody is being obnoxious, why are they being obnoxious? If somebody feels they need to be a prima donna, like [Dallas Cowboys receiver] Terrell Owens, he wants to ask why. [Baseball slugger] Barry Bonds hates the media, so he asks, "Why does Barry Bonds hate the media?" If [Rutgers Women's Basketball Coach] Vivian Stringer gave a 30-minute speech to the media, he says, "Well, what is it that she has to say that took 30 minutes?" And that's the kind of thinking you don't get in a lot of sports writing. ..

A few months ago, some local entrepreneurs converted Dice's into a makeshift casino of sorts. Although gambling is still illegal in Texas, local law enforcement agents have chosen to ignore the handful of mini-casinos that have recently popped up here and there throughout the surrounding area of Montague County, roughly 900 square miles of small towns and farmland northwest of Dallas. The police's "don't ask, don't tell" approach has given Dice's a significant house advantage. The game room can offer its patrons something that the slumping economy all too often cannot: the hope of hitting it big. While other businesses in the county flounder, Dice's is flourishing off the money of local residents, who are often poor, sometimes desperate, and always willing to ante up for one more shot a...
