Most Powerful People In DFW Sports

Per Richie Whitt of the Dallas Observer (he actually ranks the Top 50). And I quote: 10. Troy Aikman. Hall of Famer still carries considerable weight via TV analysis and NASCAR ownership with Staubach. 9. Laura Miller. Thanks to the lame-duck mayor, the Cowboys are leaving and Texas-OU is staying. 8. Byron Nelson. Nothing helps area children more than Lord Byron's golf tournament. 7. Bill Parcells. His majesty's daily circle jerks with media are broadcast live. 6. Tom Hicks. Owns two teams. But zero clues. 5. Jon Heidtke. Wouldn't recognize him on the street, but the FOX Sports Net Southwest senior vice president makes the decisions about Mavs, Rangers and Stars you recognize nightly on TV. 4. Hank Haney. Is there a better, easier job on this planet than Tiger Woods' swing coach? Next up: Scarlett Johansson's plastic surgeon. 3. Jerry Jones. His every move remains monumental, but Cuban's rants have rendered his sideline sojourns passé. 2. Mark Cuban. Has the mind, money and moxie to create something priceless--hope. 1. Terrell Owens. Generating a deafening buzz before his first catch in Cowboys pads.

Boring Baseball Stat

Mark Teixeira hit a grand total of 9 home runs during the first half of the season. Then last night, in the first game after the All Star break, he hits 3. That's 3 in one game. Baseball is odd. Still boring. But odd.

On My Journey Through Movies I Need To Watch

I'm now watching Apocalypse Now. I'm an hour and half into it and so far: True Greatness. And it was cool to see a very brief appearance by a very young Harrison Ford (pictured).

Time Flies

As someone pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago (and People magazine confirmed), this gal is the same little girl that appeared in The Sixth Sense under a sheet with Haley Joel Osment. That would be Mischa Barton.

Slow

I think the world has slowed to a crawl today. Not much happening. Other than my secretary is on vacation. And that makes me depressed and grumpy. (At least more depressed and grumpy compared to every day.)

Ann Curry Wisdom

After another story on the infamous "head butt" at the World Cup, the Today's Show Ann Curry (filling in as co-host) exclaimed, "This trash talking has to stop!" I miss you Katie. I love you. Come back.

Hungerectomy

There is the oddest/smartest billboard between Rhome and (what I still call) "Jeterville". It is simply the word "Hungerectomy" in a font that is associated with Snickers. The background, not surprisingly, is the brown color associated with a Snicker's wrapper. There's nothing else to it. But it sure did get my attention. I'll try and find a pic.

A McSunDial Billboard. Genius.
