Mavs Talk

1. I'm beginning to believe the conspiracy theory I posted here. 2. Anyone wish to question my sports brain based upon this prior post. 3. Dirk didn't make basket after 10:42 of the second quarter! 4. Blame the City of Dallas for letting it leak that a victory parade would be on Tuesday if the Mavs swept the Heat. Unfortunately, Game 6 will be that day. 5. Did you see that the AAC in Dallas was sold out for a game watching party last night?

Why Motorcycles Are Evil

Seven minutes of motorcycle crashes (some bad, but we never see broken bones), motorcycle stunts, motorcycle near-crashes, and a ton of not too smart folks.

The Heck With That Supreme Court Stuff . . .

. . . let's see how Jessica Simpson is doing. And, man, do I miss that Nick and Jessica show especially that scuba diving episode that was so funny.

The End Is Near

You think those two recent Supreme Court appointments will have an impact? It has begun. For over 40 years the "exclusionary rule" has been in effect. That is, if the police break the law in searching or arresting you, any evidence they find as a result of that breach will be excluded from evidence and cannot be used against a defendant. It's a hard and fast rule. Until today. Even though your Supreme Court has said that the constitution requires police to "knock and announce" their presence when executing a search warrant, the Court held today (in a 5-4 decision) that a violation of that particular rule won't require any evidence found to be excluded. Why? Because they say so. That is, Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, and Thomas say so. The case was Booker T. Hudson v. Michigan. Come to think about, the defendant probably lost once the five justices saw his name was "Booker T."

Property Talk

I'm seeing and hearing a ton of ads for "Moonlight Bay" on the north shore of Lake Bridgeport. I think this is the old boy scout ranch land, but I could have sworn the development had previously been marketed under some name called "pointe" something (with the extra "e"). Anyway, I bet its a tough sale with the lake currently approaching 11 feet low.

Stuff Like This Makes Me Want To Head For The Beach. Forever.

In 2003 and 2004, there was a little known backup quarterback for Iowa State named Cris Love. He completed 50 of 104 passes for 667 yards and five touchdowns during his career. A more important stat is that he just died of cancer at the age of 24.

We take it for granted, people. We take it for granted.

Matt Lauer interviews Britney Spears tonight on Dateline, and they've been showing some of the clips on the Today show. This girl is cooouuuuntry. This girl is a mess.

Maybe The Heat Will Win In 6

Oh, noooooooo

Uh, oh. This morning, the President did not realize that reporter Peter Wallsten is legally blind.

. . . I could adopt a few, but I feel a little weird about it.

Thank Goodness You Didn't Go To Northeast Mall Today

From the Star Telegram: An unidentified woman plunged to her death from an overpass at Rufe Snow Road onto the emergency lane of Loop 820 West in Northeast Tarrant Councy on Wednesday morning. Police say they believe the woman intentionally jumped, said investigator Larry Irving of the North Richland Hills Police Department. Witnesses told police that the woman walked across the street from a nearby cluster of restaurants and shops shortly before noon and disappeared over the edge of the overpass. She landed out of highway traffic and no-one else was injured, police said. Traffic was snarled for at least an hour and backed up about a mile to Highway 26 to the east as police investigated.
