Matthew’s latest observations on the D/FW sports scene By Matthew Postins I’m not one that can read body language, but like many I was struck by what appeared to happen after the Dallas Cowboys traded down in the first round on Thursday. I was instantly drawn to head coach Jason [...]
Special to RattleandHumSports.com The Dallas Stars will replace Joe Nieuwendyk as general manager with Detroit assistant GM Jim Nill, two sources confirmed to ESPN.com Saturday night.
