Random Monday Morning Thoughts






The auto accident taking the life of JP Terri Johnson 
dominated the news for a week back then.


  • Oklahoma, for a small state, gets pummeled by tornadoes far more than Texas does. Or it sure feels that way.
     

  • Dateline San Antonio.  Video from the crowd caught the chaos.

  • It may be the greatest unforced error of all time to admit in your own book that you personally executed your own dog because you didn't like him. 


  • Sports radio station The Freak, led by Ticket-ex Mike Rhyner, went belly up on Friday after a year and a half on the air.

    • A lawyer who represented Dan and Jake in their fight against the Ticket over their non-compete agreement says that he had been trying to arrange the purchase of the station and bring the employees with it. 

  • This might be one of the biggest loads I've ever seen towed.  And it fell its trailer and killed two people in a nearby car on Saturday near Temple. 

  • This video lived up to the bill. Anyone else but a cocky D.A. would have been arrested on the spot. Story.

  • Trump criminal trial will resume today. I would think the best way to defend it is to admit the affair and the payoffs, but argue that all the actions are not crimes. But instead, Trump is going to deny everything including that he slept with Stormy Daniels.  That's dumb. From the opening statements that I finally read: 

  • Birthday nugget about Jerry Seinfeld:

  • Random anniversary of a news story that I had never heard of. "On April 27, 1978, in one of the deadliest construction accidents in U.S. history, fifty-one workers fell to their deaths when scaffolding attached to an unfinished cooling tower collapsed in Willow Island, West Virginia."

  • NFL draft recap:

  • New NFL rule.

  • Breaking: He's back

  • I think Jerry Jones has now officially entered the Al Davis stage of life. He's acting a little crazier than normal.
