Lair of evil rises in Texas

Posted by: Peter Abraham - Posted in Misc on Aug 05, 2008 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

080508_14211.jpgI paused in the 102 degree heat on my way to the ballpark to snap this exclusive photo of the new Cowboys stadium, which is a few parking lots away from Rangers Ballpark.

The new place will be state of the art. There will be a plastic surgery clinic for Jerry Jones and Jessica Simpson, a cocaine vault for Michael Irvin and an lifetime supply of Kleenex for weepy Terrell Owens.

Mark Feinsand (Redskins fan), Tyler Kepner (Eagles fan) and I plan to blow the place up bury the jerseys of Chris Cooley, Randall Cunningham and Tom Brady there later tonight. Don’t tell anybody.

  3. Rebecca--Optimist Prime August 5th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    Wow, Pete, that’s kind of low.

  4. kill.schill(ing) August 5th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    Can you blow-up the Rangers’ Ball Park while you’re at it.

    It now has claimed two of our prized pitchers in consecutive seasons.

    First, Dubya, now, this. Would that Texas would secede from the Union.

  5. Adam August 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    HAHAHAHA I literally laughed at that post Pete.

    As a long-time 49ers fan living in New England, I hate the Cowboys just as much as I do the Patriots.

  6. Emma August 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Are you a Giants fan Pete?

  7. fbi August 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Mr. Abraham YOU ARE UNDER ARREST! YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO REMAIN…..

  8. Emma August 5th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Don’t forget… Wang also went down in Texas.

    isn’t a hurricaine on it’s way there ?

  12. Mike August 5th, 2008 at 3:53 pm

    blow the place up? you know some moron will send that to the FBI

  13. kasey August 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    a cocaine vault for irvin! too good!

  14. AlexCT August 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    i’ll give every penny i earn this year to anyone involved with the destruction of that abominable place

  15. trisha - I am a Sidney supporter. August 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    I don’t always agree with Pete’s takes on certain players, etc., but I will say that he is one of the funniest people I have ever read.

    Nothing like a rapier wit!

  16. No One August 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    DHS wants a word with you, Pete.

  17. Chris NY August 5th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    What, you’re not going to spend the $100K for a seat license there Pete?

  18. William Buckner August 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    I think the Cowboys are more hated then the Yankees. Good times!

  19. Jeff August 5th, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    Odd, why no Giants or Jets fans on the beat?

    Serious question: Do newspapers purposely hire writers from other regions of the country so they dont have a bias/rooting interest in the team/area their covering?

  20. RayBlay August 5th, 2008 at 4:03 pm

    STL ASG logo = uglyyyyy

  21. ZaWheelZ August 5th, 2008 at 4:03 pm

    Cowboys= 5 Vince Lombardi Trophies

    Pats= 3*

  22. BBB (X gon'give it to ya) August 5th, 2008 at 4:05 pm

    ROFL at the cocaine vault and the Kleenex.

    Lair of evil indeed…also the lair of 12 years, 0 playoff wins :)

    Go G-MEN!!!

  23. Rob August 5th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    Wow it really does look like the Hall of Doom from the Superfriends!

  24. Jackie Jensen August 5th, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    Pete’s awesome. He can be objective and a bit cynical when reporting on a team he covers, but still admit to be a raving, lunatic fan of a team he doens’t cover. He’ll confess to his unrequited love for Erin Andrews, as well as imply that he’s a middle aged man that would give up his career in journalism to be a roadie for the next Springsteen career.

    It’s a damn fine blog, when the blogger doesn’t pretend to be the smartest or most perfect person in the world. Pete is everyman.

    well done!

  25. Pete August 5th, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    Still bitter about that whole 18-1 thing? Loser.

  26. RhapsodyInBlue August 5th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    Winners of 5 superbowls, wouldn’t it just be a shame if they won again this year.

  27. RhapsodyInBlue August 5th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    And Tom Landry never cheated.

  28. vin August 5th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

    Tremendously funny, as usual.

    People hate the Cowboys… people hate the YankeesThe question is why?

    It’s not like the Cowboys have 2.5 times as many championships as anyone else like the Yanks (26-10 over Cards). The ‘boys are tied with the Steelers and Niners with 5. My theory is that people don’t like the Yanks because of their success… and people don’t like the cowboys because Texas in general is unloved by much of the country.

  29. Paul M. August 5th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Hopefully you didn’t melt into the ground during that pause. When is Jerry’s new digs opening?

  30. Khoa August 5th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Pete, you should’ve snapped a shot of Jerry Land next to the Ballpark to show just how massive the thing is. It really is a sight to see.

  31. Patrick â„¢ August 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Throw a Westbrook jersey in there too, the kid’s a monster!

  32. Del From Heiroglyphics August 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    I pretty much hate every football team not named the giants. But the Eagles and Cowboys are the 2 I hate the most.

  33. Del From Heiroglyphics August 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    “Throw a Westbrook jersey in there too, the kid’s a monster!”

    yeah for the 4 games a season he’s healthy for.

  34. RhapsodyInBlue August 5th, 2008 at 4:22 pm

    Cowboys on the other hand have been to the most superbowls at 8.

  35. Al from BK(The season is over) August 5th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    When is the info gonna come out on Joba?

  36. Joe m August 5th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    As a Redskin fan—Do it

  37. Al from BK(The season is over) August 5th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

    When is the first real football game it is the only sport I got left.

  38. Del From Heiroglyphics August 5th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    Lets see….

    Cowboys 5 Superbowl wins
    Patriots 3 Superbowl win
    Giants 3 Superbowl wins…but hold on folks….4 NFL Championships….so in essence the Giats are 7 time world champions…..suck it

  39. hambone slymnax August 5th, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    I got a better idea, why not just take a picture of you, the Redskin fan and the Eagles fan and title the post “the jealous bunch”

  40. Patrick â„¢ August 5th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

    “yeah for the 4 games a season he’s healthy for.”

    You are not very smart my friend! He played 15 games in 2007 and 15 games in 2006. Westy is a better offensive player than anyone on the giants.

  41. Joe m August 5th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

    If you are a Giants fan pls count your rings The Skins have three

  42. Ant928 August 5th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

    Good one Pete!!!

  43. Patrick â„¢ August 5th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    “When is the first real football game it is the only sport I got left.”

    If the season is over why don’t you just go back to BK and eat some whoppers. Say hello to the King for me.

  44. dan August 5th, 2008 at 4:38 pm

    Football stadiums are so hideous. Granted I have not seen very many, but based on the few that I have seen they are all just ugly looking structures. Ballparks seem to fit into the city-scape much better and are more pleasing to the eyes.

  45. Del From Heiroglyphics August 5th, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    Joe M…like I said, the Giants have 7 world titles…the skins…5. The Giants are one of the greatest organizations in the history of the sport. The have more championship titles than any team not named the Packers.

  46. Del From Heiroglyphics August 5th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    patrick, Westbrook is arguably the best offensive player in the league, Im not denying his talent, he is incredible, but he is hurt more than he is on the field.

  47. saucY August 5th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    Del, it’s amazing how much i agree with you…

  48. dont retire 21 August 5th, 2008 at 5:12 pm

    GO GMEN! anyone else wish brett favre would just go away forever? i cant watch sportscenter anymore.

  49. Blue Bleeding August 5th, 2008 at 6:09 pm

    G MEN RULE ! ! ! !

  50. Phil August 5th, 2008 at 6:33 pm

    you reporters likes some crappy/cheatin’ teams.

  51. Rally Point August 5th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    I’m a big Giants fan, but I have to give the Cowboys a little bit of credit – they’re building one of the few NFL stadiums that can be classified as world-class. That means iconic across the globe, and I think the NFL finds it hard to compete with places like Camp Nou, Allianz Arena, and Wembley because the rest of the world doesn’t follow the NFL nearly as much as their game. Also it doesn’t help with all those cookie-cutter stadiums (Giants Stadium) littering our landscapes.

    I do like the New Meadowlands with all that glowing light, but I wish we had some cool arches or a unconventional facade (see what they want to do with Camp Nou) that set us apart.

  52. nathan August 5th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    Pete, u as a Pats fan have lost the rights to make fun of other football teams or gripe abt their missteps..

    did u forget Spy-gate or the under the radar Rodney Harrison HGH suspension.. hmm wonder wt wud have happened if it was TO who had been caught instead of Rodney… or hey what about Nick Kaczur.. jeez i am not even a Dallas fan.. but it was of poor taste…

    hey but u are a bostonian… so u can write and so can Bill Simmons

  53. deadrody August 5th, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    Ooo, a coke vault for Michael Irvin. Maybe he could invite LT over.

  54. Nick August 5th, 2008 at 10:39 pm

    Just a bitter Pats fan upset the Cowboys are building a better stadium than the Patriots.

  55. Marc August 6th, 2008 at 1:35 am

    That new stadium they are building looks like it should be built 50 years in the future. It looks like a flying saucer.

  56. Kevin from Edmonton August 6th, 2008 at 12:42 pm

    Cocaine vault? Haha.
