- Emmitt Smith has a new book out (the radio commercials are all over the place) where he "outlines the principles that have helped me become a winner." Chapter One: Have more talent than anyone else and join a football team with a Hall of Fame quarterback and wide receiver. Chapter Two: Hey, I'm A Success.
- For you runners, I switched to Asics shoes over the weekend. So far: Huge thumbs up.
- My girls softball team has improved to 2-1 on Saturday. I wonder if we'll be on the cover of Sports Illustrated? But I think I failed a sports-ethics-real-life-exam when I'm pretty sure a third strike on one of my players was counted as two by the umpire. I didn't say anything and she got a hit on the next pitch.
- The Big 12 officially blows up today. That makes it a sad day.
- Anyone else think Tony Romo's injury may not have been as bad as everyone said it was?
- Channel 8 news story from the 1970s where they decided to have reporters drive three abreast on I-30 and not exceed the speed limit (then 55 mph.) Oh, my.
- I'm not sure what caused me to browse around elected officials campaign financial statements at the Texas Ethics Commission website, but I noticed that Rep. Phil King spent $150 a months on twice a month maid service for his Austin apartment. What's he doing? Having wild parties and trashing the place? Uh...........not a chance.
- WBAP's Hal Jay this morning: "I tried to watch the Texas/UCLA game this weekend but I couldn't get it. I was mad." His cohorts then told him it was on ABC. **Shaking Head**
- I would think the Decatur Eagles would be in the AP Top Ten but I can't find the AP Top Ten.
- The Cowboy game was going into Overtime yesterday evening, I hit "record" for the show that was coming on after the game, announced to the house that no one should tell me how it ends, left, came back, hit "play", and realized I didn't record it at all. Beating.
- Weather sure does control college football these days: The Oklahoma State game didn't kick off until after midnight and didn't end until 3:30 a.m., and Baylor/SFA decided to just cancel the fourth quarter. I remember attending an Aggie/Baylor game and a Baylor/Houston game in monsoons in the 1980s.
- Trying to entertain kids is a big player in this world.

Maid service costs for Phil King's apartment?
Likely wild prayer meetings. Some folks slosh drinks........(soft) drinks, of course.

That gal has something white on her lips. She needs to clean up a little when she gets done.
Oh geez! BG has become an Asics snob. We'll never hear the end of it.
Step 3: Profit (from football and the book).
Smith is a class act though. And he stood up to Jones to get paid closer to what he was worth.

$150 maid service? What's wrong with that?
I would gladly pay 150 bucks for twice a month maid service.
Asics are great, you will never use another brand. Now upgrade socks to Thorlos and you will be in rocking!
I was at the aggie/baylor game. The only thing that slowed Walter Abercrombie down that day was at least 4 inches of rain. I think he had 225 yards.
Football guru
Thanks for the visit back to 1970s Dallas/Fort Worth along I-30. That was a trip :)
Decatur not in Top 25 yet - have to realize they've had a fairly easy schedule so far, esp with 3 home games. Next two games will tell how this young team is growing. Check out the below for Top 25's:

Thanks for the memories on the
70's video! Wow, the cars and afro on the reporter brought back many memories. The comments he made about high gas costs and road rage....some things never change.
Got milk?
8:46 Silly, that is sunblocker on the gal so her upper lips don't wrinkle.
Re: the Messenger report of a new Podiatric Medical Examiner. I never heard of a medical examiner for the foot only??? Weird!!!
Woosies!
In the fifties the Aggies played TCU at Kyle Field in a tornado. The rain was so heavy the officials couldn't see Jim Swink go over the goal line for a touchdown.
Rain parkas were flying all over the sky above the stadium and people just cheered louder.
I was there.
(I didn't say it was smart, just adventurous)
After switching to Asics - no more knee problems!
Does Emmitt ever mention he's one lucky little nigguh?
DHS has played 3 games but only 2 @ home:
Whitesboro-Home
WF Hirschi-Away
Ranchview-Home
Still going to come down to the Bridgeport game and both passing games
Why worry about Decatur football they take everyone to the playoff anyway. All you have to do is win 3 games and you are in the playoff.
Nothing to be proud of any more.
I prefer saucony for the cushion in the heel.
Got milk?
It appears that she does.
She also has something on her upper lip.

DHS has played 3 games but only 2 @ home:

Not that I really care but you are going to hurt Gainesville's feelings. They were the second victim played Sept. 2 at Decatur.
It's not the brand of shoe that makes the difference. It's the build of the shoe in relation to the foot type you have. There are three construction types that are specfic to flat feet and feet with high arches. That being said, I settled on the Asics Gel Kayno for my high arch. Do a search in Runners World. There have been several good articles on this in the past.
I got a new pair of Brooks Beast running shoes last week. I think they are the best for heavy set runners like me and they wear like iron (last long).
Holy crap!Byron Harris has been at channel 8 for at least 33 years!
Running is a terrible form of exercise and wreaks havoc on the body. Your next pair of running shoes should be swim flippers.
Zoot Ultra Kapilani is the best shoe I have put on my feet in my 20+ years of running.
Hey Barry... regarding Asics. I've decided to try to train for and run in a marathon but my runnings shoes were killing my feet. I had a session with Luke's Locker guy a while back who sold me on trying a pair of Asics. Unbelievable comfort and support!!!!! I'm gonna get another pair as soon as I get back over there.
Running is a terrible form of exercise
Sure it is, fatty.

10:41 did leave out the Gainesville game that was at home. All four teams Decatur has played have been terrible. So, it really is difficult to evaluate if they are any good. This week they play Iowa Park and I heard IP got whooped on by Mineral Wells. We shall see.
Um, Decatur football sucks. That will be all... ♫
Phil King is too lazy to do his own cleaning. I bet his maid does not even vote for him.
For you runners, a big thumbs up for Asics. For you skippers, a big thumbs up for Keds.
Dirt anywhere Phil King? Somebody's getting demoted from Teflon duty.
And, Phil's maid probably pays more taxes than him.
Special Services????????
Yeah... this weather controlling everything sucks. The generation that grew up playing in the rain now thinks if there is lightning anywhere in the state, THEY are gonna get struck! Just shut up your whining and let 'em play! I am sick of it!
