Your Supposed To Catch Her. I Think.

All right, I have two complaints. This is the worst effort I've ever seen in cheerleader catching. Maybe she had wronged the rest of the girls because they acted like they wanted her to die. (Maybe it's the Red Oak cheerleader discussed earlier.) Secondly, what is the cameraman thinking? When carnage breaks out, keep the tape rolling and stay focused. This clip would be much better if we could have had a close up of some reactions.

What About Clive Owen?

To quash the Female Rebellion of 2007 that broke out because of the shirtless man pic below, I now give you Clive Owen as a peace offering. Not that I would ever have a man crush on any guy, but if I did, he might qualify. He got to see Natalie Portman almost neekid in Closer, got to make out with Jennifer Aniston in Derailed, got to kill lots of people in Sin City, and ran all over England in Children of Men. All the while being cool and throwing down an accent. What's not to like?

Fair Fight?

I was rooting around in youtube.com and saw a clip of some TCU player taking a cheap shot at good and wholesome Baylor player last year. (And to think the school has "Christian" in its name. Puulleeeasseee.) Anyway, this suggested video popped up labeled "Cheap Shot." A better title would have been "Assault."

Bad Karma

This lady was arrested last week in Florida on the second DWI charge.

Bueller? Bueller?

Since the women are outnumbering the men on the poll, I bring you Matthew Broderick. Although I don't think this will meet their demands for an equal number of "Hey, Nows."

Baseball Players Should Fear ATVs

This occurred yesterday at the Seattle game. The quality is poor, but it's not everyday you get to see a mascot almost kill a man. Can you imagine if Rowdy did that to Romo or T.O.? Jerry would have personally executed Rowdy right on the spot.

I Think Fox 4 Might Be Screwing With Us

This guy stabbed a couple of people last night (oops, allegedly stabbed a couple of people) but Fox 4 News tracks down his ex-girlfriend from two years ago.

I can't take my eyes off of her. The eyebrows. The odd bump on her forehead. The last name. I love her.

Flashback

I was struggling while writing with The Spin tonight when I recalled the old Channel 8 public service announcement that used to run before the news. If I remember correctly, it said "It's 10:00 p.m., do you know where your children are?"

Gold.

C4U?

Many have remarked how they miss C4U's blog since it stunningly disappeared about three months ago. She was a frequent commenter as well. I don't know where she went, but this blog sure seems like her.

Classifieds

My secretary was supposed to jump out of an airplane yesterday as part of her birthday celebration.

I wonder if I'm interviewing next week?

Edit: She sent me an actual pic (above). Cancel the interviews.

Oddest Sports Moment

(Bonds rookie playing card.)

Barry Bonds tied Hank Aaron's career home run record last night and the silence is deafening.

What a strange event. Most claim that the career home run mark is the "ultimate" sports record. They may be right. I remember as a kid sitting in front of the television set to watch Hank Aaron break Babe Ruth's record (in 1974). It was magical. I was fascinated by all the hype (and the two fans that ran out of the stands to slap Aaron on the back between second and third base.)

But no care about Bonds tying Aaron's record even though 33 years have passed since the home run record was tied. Why? Two reasons. Everyone believes Bonds has used steroids - the closest proof was leaked grand jury testimony that Bond believes he unknowingly used steroids. Secondly, the guy is a world class jerk. Several years back he made an appearance at the Ballpark in Arlington and The Ticket's Corby Davidson tried to interview him before the game. Bonds response was, "You must not be familiar with my policy." Davidson inquired "What policy." Bonds replied, "You must not be familiar with my policy." (The "policy" was that he wouldn't speak to the press before games.)

Most believe that Alex Rodriguez will be the next person to break Bonds records. I hope so.

Well This Is Depressing. Big Time.

Mena Suvari cut almost all of her hair off. That is not a good look. It is almost as awful as when Natalie Portman did the the same thing for V for Vendetta. This trend must be stopped.

Major Wreck

Still looking for details, but it looks like we have three dead and two injured from a wreck on 2123 (at CR 3673) this morning.

If anyone knows anything. post away.

Edit: Fox 4 is the first one to cover the story. It seems five teenagers (?) were in one car that went off the road and struck two trees. Three in the front seat died. Two girls in the back seat were careflighted. No names yet.

Edit: Have an unconfirmed report of the dead being two males and one female.

Edit: Some names have appeared in the comments. But nothing has been confirmed.

Edit: A commenter noted that the Star Telegram now has the story up. "The dead were identified as Ryan Lowe, 17, of Boyd, the driver; Michael Fresch, 16, of North Richland Hills; and Morgan Moss, 14, of Boyd."

Edit: The Messenger has a paragraph about it in the Update.

OK, This Isn't That Exciting . . .

. . . but if Wise County appears on the local news, I'll regurgitate it here.

Basic story: These weird little vehicles are being stolen at night. Cops are trying to catch those that do the stealing. Most interesting part of the story: Those little suckers retail for $12,000.

I Don't Have Much To Offer Today

But I noticed that tomorrow's Messenger will not have one single Letter to the Editor.

Somebody call an ambulance to check on Ken Hughes. Something must be horribly wrong.

(How do I know? I get an online PDF version of the paper every day before it is published. Perhaps the greatest invention in the history of ever.)

X-Games Carmage Carnage

This is from ESPN's X-Games that were shown last night. This kid would have had an easier time jumping off the courthouse belltower. And be sure to stick around to the end for the replays. Gold. Edit: Sir, I will not post the comment regarding this guy being "pounded" like someone else last week. Funny. But inappropriate.

Slight Digression

If you are 40 or older and even remotely know who Tom Snyder is (he died this week), you have to check out this.
