In regards to the replacement for Babe... Welcome back Dale Hansen

[theebs]

It's definitely not going to be Dale Hansen. I e-mailed him about the possibility of working along side Brad Sham again on Cowboys games earlier in the week and said he has no interest and the Cowboys probably wouldn't either. In fact, he is leaving the Ticket and won't be involved in the postgame show for Cowboys games or doing his weekly radio show. He said there would be an announcement about his leaving the Ticket next week.

well I am happy, I cant stand that blowhard. He is so full of himself, he is a complete dope.

I wish the cowboys were not on the ticket and hansen still left.

There's a short, very odd commercial running on local TV w/ Aikman and Emmitt in the back of a limo.

The dialog has them bantering between themselves about "did you ever think he'd be back?", "he's a legend" etc etc. The last scene is them driving down the ramp into Tx Stadium. Then they flash the text, "4/23/06 RETURN OF A LEGEND", or something like that.

It's all very cryptic.

I'm going on record that Dale Hansen is back as color-guy. With The Ticket now as the official Cowboys network, it makes perfect sense. And 4/23/06, on his Sunday night sports special after the 10-o'clock news, he announces it.

Remember, you heard it here first!

why in the blue hell would there be a national talevision commercial that had to do with THE TICKET?

Where do you read in my post it's a "national talevision commercial", or that it's about "THE TICKET"?

Reading comprehension's not one of your strong suits, huh?

why would the texas lotto pay for commerical

You're right, I looked closely at one of those commericals last night, and caught the 3 second "Paid for by The Texas Lotery etc etc" deal at the botom of the screen in the opening scene.

Jerry has some pride.

Headlines I doubt we'll ever see:

"Jones welcomes Hansen back to Cowboys' booth"

"Jimmy and Jerry: Reunion has "Super" feel"

"Jones stamps Drew Pearson's ticket to Ring of Honor"

"Jones adds Jesse Solomon to Cowboys' PR department"

It wasn't a bad guess/theory though, DC.

I liked Brad and Dale back in the day. Unfortunately, Hansen has probably burned too many bridges to even be hired as a Texas Stadium janitor at this point.

i apoligize.

since the original post started out about a commercial with Troy and Emmitt(a commercial that has been discussed over and over again for the past couple of weeks in this forum)

then your post jumped to Dale replacing Babe.

i understood you saying that it would be announced on the date that is on the screen at the end of said commercial.

i guess not getting into exact detail about what your point is in your posts is NOT one of your strong suits, huh?

A lot of bitter Cowboys fans on the Zone these days.

Relax fellas, Barry Switzer, Dave Campo, and the rest of the goon patrol are gone now. Happy days, happy days! :

I would love to have Henson back as co-commentator to Sham(and since whendoes sham do soccer games. He did the FC Dallas game this past saturday). Him and Sham were the two best commentators that Dallas ever had. Great duo but I doubt it will ever happen. Anyones still remember that fight Dale had with Switzer. Anyones know where I can download that famed episode.

Hansen headed to ESPN Radio

Another domino has fallen in the Cowboys' radio switch to The Ticket.

Dale Hansen has quit KTCK-AM (1310) and is headed to ESPN-FM (103.3). Hansen, the lead sports anchor at WFAA-TV (Channel 8), is expected to start at ESPN in early May.

Babe Laufenberg, Cowboys radio analyst since 1997, announced last week he is leaving game broadcasts to spend more time with his family.

Hansen is leaving The Ticket, his radio home since 1999, because he says he felt unwanted at the Cowboys' new flagship station. Hansen is a frequent critic of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He preceded Laufenberg as Cowboys radio analyst and was fired, with Jones' blessing, with two games remaining in the 1996 season.

"It was obvious to me they [The Ticket] were pushing me off the postgame show," Hansen said Sunday.

Hansen had been a regular on The Ticket's Cowboys postgame show, which aired after game broadcasts on KLUV-FM (98.7). Hansen also hosted a year-round show Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. on The Ticket and a one-hour show on Fridays during the football season.

Hansen had been negotiating a new contract with The Ticket, but it got bogged down by the recent sale of the station. Hansen met with ESPN Radio management last week and accepted an offer.

He resigned Friday via a message he left on Ticket program director Jeff Catlin's voicemail.

"Dale Hansen is a tremendous talent, and we wish him the very best," said Dan Bennett, general manager of The Ticket.

At ESPN, Hansen initially will join Randy Galloway's afternoon show for one hour a week. He is expected to host his own weekly show during football season and will have a role in the station's Cowboys postgame program.

ESPN program director Scott Masteller called Hansen "a lightning rod who is not afraid to give his opinion."

"All I know is that I'm glad he's on my team," Masteller said.
