GM says Washington will continue as manager
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington tested positive for
cocaine in 2009, but the skipper took the unusual step of getting out in front

Perhaps new Thing will have a bulbous head to resemble the Cowboys owner

Pink Things, the frozen treat only available at Six Flags over Texas is now poised to make its debut at Jerry Jones’ new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington when it opens later this year.
Jones said his Pink Thing will be longer (9 inches) and wider (2 inches) than the ones available at Six Flags.
“It will also come with a wide base you can hold in your hand,” Jones said. “Then to eat it, you roll down the paper shaft and lick to your heart’s content.”
