Unrelated News That Got My Attention

The Dallas lawyer who thought he had done something worthy by shooting a huge alligator in Texas has an arrest warrant out for him. You knew the Game Warden would find a way to get him. Edit: Wow. Texas Parks and Wildlife is even promoting the arrest by a press release.

The Dallas Morning News proves it is one step closer to death as its biggest (and hugely overrated) sports columnist, Jean-Jacques Taylor,  is headed to ESPNDallas.com. The over/under until he uses the phrase "abject failure" in a column is two weeks. In his defense, writing for a newspaper that keeps your work behind a paywall probably isn't the best gig these days.

A caller to the Fort Worth Star Telegram believes Beach Street at 820 is not in Haltom City. The youtube clip the paper put together is pretty funny.

One of the benefits of JJT going to ESPN is that he won't be on the Ticket any more. He was sheer radio anthrax. Good riddance.

Pardon me for this comment, but I don't know how to email the blog writer...
A few months ago you commented how despite the claims that the sex offender registry laws would snare even minor offenses (I think you used public urination as an example), you had yet to hear of that actually happening.

Well, here ya go:

JJT almost certain to use the term "axe" (as in "i need to axe him that question") every time he hits the airwaives.
