What In The World Happened To Jesse Ventura?

TCU has a home game tonight today. For those interested, it starts at 5:00 p.m. Don't want to mess with traffic? You can find it on the, get this, the Versus network. Good luck with all of that.

"You Got Me In This Mess, Now Say Something Good To Get Me Out Of It"

Shocking?

Well, hold on. This image is from "Heroes" - a new TV series that debuted last night on NBC (that's Channel 5 to you and me) at . . . get this . . . 7:00 p.m. Just when I think the Right Wing has taken over the country, I reconsider.

Gadget Crazy

I finally figured out that I could add a storage card to my phone and load it up with MP3s and Podcasts (I'm the only person I know who actually downloads podcasts and listens to them). Not to be out done, I even figured out how to put a client's DWI videotape on the phone and watch it. (I showed a few seconds of it to four people I come in contact with on a weekly basis - trust me, they have access to the tape anyway - and three of the four simply said "You're such a nerd" and walked away.) And then today, an Internet purchase of wireless bluetooth stereo headsets arrived. The things are cool. When I was a kid, the only new invention was a microwave oven. And the phone is a Cingular 8125 which I bought at a local Cingular store. I really had no idea what I could do when I bought it because my old phone simply died and I needed a replacement.

Saw This On The DMN Home Page

I cannot imagine anything more horrific. It makes me shudder to even read the headline.

I Lied

Ok, one more T.O. post because I couldn't resist. I now offer proof why he needs a new publicist based upon these two statements she made today in the press conference. (Transcript.)

ETHEREDGE: There was a lot going on, just like the 911 call. Listen, when I see a man of his statute, not responsive. This is a very strong human being. and when I ask him a question, he's not responding and I know he's not feeling well, you know I use my judgment to call 911.

ETHEREDGE: I just think, again, this is sad. Terrell had a reaction to different pills and just to state he was trying to commit suicide it's just, it's unfair. Terrell has 25 million reasons (emphasis) why he should be alive.

Last T.O. Post

He says it was all a big misunderstanding. WFAA video here.

Learn Something Every Day

I just lost a bet on the difference between cirrhosis and psoriasis.

All T.O. - All The Time

. . . because there's not much else going on. But I have learned: - He has been released from the hospital - He lives in a loft in Deep Ellum - Some girl drove him home in a black Cadillac Escalade - Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders and Drew "Next Question" Rosenhaus are at his home - His female publicist is the person that called 911 and now has the job of downplaying the incident - TO will give a news conference from Valley Ranch at 2:15 - The DMN Cowboy blog is a pretty good place to keep up with the updates

T.O. Police Report (Click To Enlarge)

Breaking news

Channel 8 reports Terrell Owens hospitalized due to attempted suicide.

Edit: Rebecca Lopez of Channel 8 was on The Ticket a second ago and reported that she had obtained a copy of the police report. She said that Owens had a prescription for 40 pain killers that he had filled last week. Up until yesterday he had only taken 5 of the pills. A female with Owens yesterday indicated that he had been "depressed" and when she saw him take two of the painkillers she tried to stop him and then learned the prescription bottle was empty. She called 911 and paramedics arrived who tried to induce vomiting. They asked Owens if he had tried to "hurt himself" to which he replied "yes". Developing...

Mighty Big Talk

I really don't understand all the hoopla over Clinton taking Fox News' Chris "I'm Not Smirking" Wallace to task the other night. And I really don't understand Condi Rice coming out today claiming Bush did so much more than Clinton to find Bin Laden. The above graphic is from her testimony before the 9/11 Commission. As Hillary said today, "I'm certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled 'Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team."
