Storms were moving in when Dean Karnazes arrived at the American Airlines center in downtown Dallas. Running 50-marathons in 50-days covering all 50-states is staggering, but Karnazes is the man Men's Fitness called "the fittest man in the world."
“I read his book,” says Mike McMullen of Dallas “I loved it, so I thought I'd come out to meet him and run with him.”
Near the starting line, Karnazes address the 75-runners who have registered to run the race with him. “This has been the most amazing experience of my life,’ he says. “Incredible, and its not about me, its about you guys joining together so, thank you so much for being here. We've got a hearty group. We've got some weather, its going to make it all the more interesting.”
“I think he's crazy, but I think his mission to educate us on the inactivity of our youth, is an awesome mission,” says Andi Smith of Dallas. “It was great he could come to Dallas so we could do this.”
Karnazes finishes his talk to the small crowd as lightning strikes in the distance. “Lets go have some fun, let's eat, let's laugh, and let's do a marathon. So thank you all,” as cheers erupt from the runners.
Kanazes starting running his 50-marathons in a row on September 17th so Dallas was his 24th marathon in a row. For the first 15-miles or so, it rained hard, making the run even more challenging.
“The rain felt really good actually,” said Karnazes. “In fact, I talked to a lot of runners. I never heard one of them say I don't like the rain.”
To prepare for his 50-marathons in 50-days, Karnazes used ultra marathons to prepare for 50-marathons in 50-days.
“I've run a number of 100-mile races, 200-mile races, I once ran 350-miles, to train my body in order to do a marathon without too much damage,” he explains.
“Beyond a head cold, I feel like my body is getting stronger every day. It’s remarkable. I feel like my legs are getting stronger, I'm getting conditioned to doing this in a way, its almost spooky.”
Karnazes has inspired runners across the country with his mission of extreme fitness. Most of those running with him, have read his book Ultra Marathon Man.
“Inspiraion is a two way street,” he says. “People say to me, I inspire them, I hear some of the stories out here, and it brings me to tears. I'm just a runner. I'm just a normal everyday guy, that is passionate about what I do, and I think anyone could be doing what I'm doing. I really don't think I'm gifted in any sort of way. I'm just passionate about it, and I feel like I’m the luckiest man on earth,” Karnazes explains.
“What I want to do is inspire this country to get more active, to make physical activity a priority in their life. That is as important as any other activity. We have a huge health problem in this country and I think if we can collectively turn things around, we'd all be happier. I think together as a group, we're touching a lot of people in a very positive way,” Karnazes says.
Karnazes left Dallas with 26-more marathons to go. “Ha Ha Ha,” Karnazes laughs. I'm not doing it. When I signed up to do this, they told me there would be no math, so I'm not doing any math here.
That’s fine, but he’s still got a long way to go, and barring injury, he will run make it. By the way, 7-marathons a week adds up to a cool 183.4 miles. The 50-marathons in 50-days adds up to an amazing, 1310-miles.

Buck Showalter Fired as Manager of Texas Rangers
John Daniels has been the General Manager of the Texas Rangers for exactly one year, so replacing manager Buck Showalter on the anniversary of his promotion, was his toughest decision yet.
“Anytime you make a personnel change, regardless of the position or the level, its emotional,” said Daniels at an afternoon press conference. “This was a very tough decision on that front, one that I don't take lightly, one as an organization we don't take lightly, and one we thought through quite a bit before making a final decision.”
Showalter's first year on the job was the 2003 season. One year later, he won 89-games, and was named manager of the year. But when he signed on, Texas was a team that began cutting their payroll, a fact that many believe lead to the teams sup par performance the last few years.
Said Daniels, “I don't think the payroll is fair excuse for anybody, whether it’s in my position, or the manager’s position, or a lack of payroll. There are teams with lower payrolls in the playoffs right now.”
Despite spending less on salaries, Daniels felt the Rangers simply underachieved with Showalter as his field boss. The team finished with a losing record and third in the American League West three straight seasons.
“When I say we weren't an 80-or-82 win team, and this isn't just me, I think if you ask the staff or ask the players, I think they expected to be better.”
The last two times Showalter was fired, the teams he left won championships. New York was the first, and Arizona was the second five years later, bringing new meaning to the term, hired to be fired.
When he took the job in 2003, Showalter knew all about that track record. “That's okay,” he said shortly after being hired. “If that's the case, I'd gladly sacrifice that, as long as they save me a championship ring.”
The bottom line is the Showalter just didn't enough games for the Texas Rangers. Now it’s up to Daniels to find someone who will. It will be his most important decision since taking over as the youngest General Manager in the Major Leagues.

Mavericks Spend Preseason in Texas
NBA training camps opened World Wide this week. Examples include the Phoenix Suns who traveled more than 6-thosand miles to practice in Italy.
Or the LA Clippers who traveled just as far to practice in Russia.
Or the Philadelphia 76ers who will practice in both Italy and Germany.
Or the San Antonio Spurs who traveled 5-thousand miles to France.
But for the Dallas Mavericks, they couldn't find a more welcomed place to hold training camp than Denton, Texas. That’s right, Denton, Texas. Total travel time, 45-minutes by bus.
“Amazing,” said Amina Igeh, a Student at the University of North Texas. “I never thought this would happen to UNTTTTTTT,” she screamed.
terry
“We're in good old Denton, Texas,” said Mavericks Guard Jason Terry. “Ha Ha, go figure, but its good.”
“Its awesome, this is so amazing,” yells Kristi Lu, another UNT student. “It’s like not even a big place, but they came here anyway, so that's really awesome.”
The decision to stay in Texas was made by Head Coach Avery Johnson.
“Yeah, stay close to home, but get away,” he said. “Its only for a couple of days.
If it’s any consolation, the Mavericks are staying at a very nice resort, just a few miles away. The resort is across the highway from the Texas Motor Speedway. This may not be Russia, France or Spain, but as we're told, once the players finish two a-days, they're too tired to do anything but eat and sleep anyway.
“I would love to play in front of some German fans,” explained Mavericks Forward Dirk Nowitzki. “It hasn't worked out the last couple of years, and that's all right, but we're trying to get ready for an NBA Season. I would love to be there and represent the Mavericks over there, in my home country. Instead, we get to go to beautiful Pittsburgh this year.”
The Mavericks will play eight preseason games, followed by the season opener against San Antonio on Thursday, November 2nd.

Remembering Byron Nelson
They came to North Richland Hills, Texas by the Thousands, to honor golf legend Byron Nelson.
They traveled by bus, by private limo, and some, not surprisingly, of naturally, by golf cart.
Among them, PGA tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who says Nelson, changed the way tournaments are conducted today.
Said Finchem, Byron's leadership created a standard with the tournament here, that has done so much for people, that its being emulated around the country and around the world and has changed how people go around and interact with tour golf.”
Ben Crenshaw traveled from Austin, Texas to pay his respects. “He spent sixty years promoting the game of golf, in every way that he could, an unbelievable example for us all.”
Dallas native Justin Leonard grew up in the shadows of a golfing legend. “The reason a lot of us are here to pay our respects is what he achieved away from the game,” said Leonard. “He did it by not just winning golf tournaments, but what he did for the game of golf. We respect him as a person, not just as a player.”
Nelson protégé and friend Ken Venturi was among the first to eulogize. “The game of golf would not be what it is today without Byron, not only a great champion, but the finest gentleman that ever was,” he said.
In the end, it was Peggy Nelson, his wife of nearly 20-years, who enjoyed every moment of their life together.
“I just knew my prince charming was out there somewhere. but it wasn't until I waited for God to lead me, that I found him, or more accurately, he found me,” she said. “This man was even better than a prince, because his nickname was Lord Byron. He taught me how to treasure every moment we had, but insisting that we celebrate our anniversary every month, because as he said, I will never have enough time with you.”
Peggy continued with a eulogy that no one will ever forget. “Thank you for loving him so much,” she said. “I want you to know the last words from him on Tuesday before I left for church, for bible class, I'm so proud of you, and I know he would want to say that to every one of you. Thank you.”

Dallas Cowboys Defense Steps Up Against The Redskins
Sunday night was an evening for the Dallas Cowboys defense to build a little confidence.
“I said defense, three points, that's pretty good. That was my first comment to the team,” said Head Coach Bill Parcells on Monday.
Allowing no offensive touchdowns against the Washington Redskins is certainly a start. Dallas finished the night with 6-sacks, five more than one week ago during the season opener in Jacksonville.
“It was tremendous,” said Cowboys Linebacker DeMarcus Ware. “I mean the Cornerbacks where out there covering and giving us time to get to the quarterback. The defensive lineman were getting pressure on Redskins Quarterback Mark Burnell on those five step drops, because we were playing up. Give it up to the offense for just putting points on the board.”
Just as important, was the Cowboys defensive performance on third down. Washington converted only 2 in 14-attempts.
“It’s always positive when you can give opposing teams different looks,” says Defensive end Marcus Spears. “I always think, that anytime you have a defense and your getting the upper hand, by making guys guess what coverage they're going to get, not knowing how many guys are going to come, it definitely puts you at an advantage.”
Said Cowboys Linebacker Greg Ellis, “The coaches did a good job preparing us, took this game really, really serious, and I say that, not just by going out on the field and trying to execute, but early in the week, the practice week, everybody just concentrated and studied and worked hard this week.”
“Those guys were like pit bulls tonight,” said Cowboys Cornerback Terence Newman laughing. “Its funny, the coaches were saying, we don't need any German Shepard’s. We need pit bulls. W had some pit bulls out there tonight.
Coming out of training camp, the Cowboys were expected to be an aggressive and improved bunch of players on defense. It didn't happen in week one, but that certainly changed in week two against division rival, the Washington Redskins.

Quarterback Controversy Brewing In Dallas
It’s obvious that the Quarterback controversy for the Dallas Cowboys is heating up. In the season opener in Jacksonville, veteran Drew Bledsoe played more like a rookie than a veteran.
“I haven’t watched it yet to be honest with you,” said Bledsoe. “I know what’s on it and I know it is going to be very disappointing when we watch the film.”
Bledsoe had a terrible day, completing just 16 of 33 passes for 246 yards. His three interceptions totaled three times more than his touchdown passes. Head Coach Bill Parcells dismissed any notion that backup Tony Romo should see more playing time.
“I don’t think that should be a consideration right now,” Parcells said. “So don’t make anything out of this, because Bledsoe is starting next Sunday. So that’s it. But we’ll see what goes on this week. I told you I was getting Romo ready top play. And at some point in time, I’m hopeful I will be able to play him this year. Now, I don’t know when, where or under what circumstances. But that shouldn’t be the story for today, because it’s a non-story.”
Parcells still says he would like to play Romo “at some point” this season, but he would not say when that would be, or under what circumstances. Romo has yet to throw a pass in an NFL regular-season game.
“I'm not thinking anything about that right now other than trying to correct some of the mistakes we made as a team,” Parcells said. “There was a lot to go around here today. It is certainly not just the Quarterback position. There are several positions that I don't think played well.”
Backup Tony Romo would like to see some playing time, but isn’t sure when the circumstances might be right. “Individually you always want to get on the field but not because somebody got hurt or something is going wrong,” he said. “You just want it to be because you are a talented player you're hopefully the top player at that position.”
While Bledsoe's turnovers did hurt the team...Parcells says he hasn't lost any trust in his starting Quarterback.
Parcells remains adamant that Bledsoe remains his starting quarterback, however, as is the case with any Quarterback controversy, he didn’t rule out the possibility that Romo might get playing time before the end of the season.

Practice Squad Leads To A Roster Spot For Jamaica Rector
Cowboys Wide receiver Jamaica Rector had a great training camp and an even better preseason.
“Rector was our top producer here in preseason, you can't ignore that,” says Cowboys Head Coach Bill Parcells.
Rector was busy during the preseason, mainly because the team’s top two receivers, Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn, were injured during training camp.
As a result, he finished the preseason with 20-catches for 245-yards. That was tops on the team. More importantly to him personally, he made the team.
“I speak positively about the kid, because he really listened to me last year, about what he needed to do and he took it to heart,” says Parcells. “He trusted me, and he parlayed that into something.”
Last year, he was on the practice squad but this year, he is expected to return punts on opening day.
Says Parcells, “I'm giving him more and more stuff that he needs to do. He’s got to take that same thing, and allow it to expand his versatility now.”
Rector says he loves the challenges that Parcells keeps adding. “I thrive off that,” he says, “That's juice to me, I need to do this. Everyday, I go home, and I just picture it in my mind, this is what I need to do, and Bill, Parcells is in my head also, that's juice to me too.”
Rector wore number-6 in high school, where he was 1-A, all state performer in both track and football at Celeste, north of Greenville. Everyday, he dreamed about playing in the NFL some day.
“Oh yes, it was there, every day all day,” says Rector. “I would even go out by myself, run probably like a mile or two, out to the triangle we called it triangle, and just go to the field, just zone out, just zone out on the field, and picture the NFL.”
Rectors’ experience on the practice squad and his ability to absorb coaching, is what finally earned him a roster spot. He's learned a lot but for him, the fun is just beginning, and should start as the punt return specialist when the Cowboys open the season in Jacksonville on September 10th.
