Maybe A Dog Attacking An Auburn Player Will Cheer Us All Up

From Saturday night. Another view here (with a flashback to another infamous dog attack.)

Bridgeport News

Getting a very sketchy report of "a man in a house in Bridgeport who is shooting." Police are there.

Developing.........maybe.

Edit: The Update says one woman has been shot and police are searching for the suspect.

Edit: Sheesh. The lack of info is killing me. But I'm out of touch for a couple of hours as I run to Fort Worth. Someone tell The Messenger to give us new info.

Edit: The Star Telegram is on it.

Edit: It appears the injured woman is Mary Boyd.

Edit: Getting reports the man has been found dead in the home. This is consistent with officers earlier hearing what were possibly gunshots from the house.

NFL Player Near Death? Dead

Details are sketchy. He was shot in the leg at his home last night but apparently lost a ton of blood. WBAP made is sound like he was in bad shape. Very bad shape.

Edit: ESPN is reporting he was shot in the groin. Ouch. But I don't think his condition is near fatal.

Edit: Shot where?


Edit: Taylor died Tuesday morning.

Back Porch Country Wittisisms

As an update to the mysterious disappearance of Boyd's Greg Williams from The Ticket, the Dallas Observer reports with a word no one else has used: Cocaine.

Another Wreck

Late Sunday night. A couple of miles north of Catfish O'Harlies. Southbound lanes. Three cars.

Sunday Afternoon Pick Me Up

News

The Update is reporting that two Decatur residents were killed this morning in an accident on 380.

Anybody know anything?

(Thanks to emailer for tipping me off.)

Edit: The Star Telegram is covering the story. Slowly.

I Love Stuff Like This

Former USC player Lendale White gets an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Cut to commercial. As we rejoin the game, color commentator Steve Beuerlein doesn't realize they are back and says "USC thugs, man." And, on a different note, my favorite penalty of the year was described on Saturday.

Random Yellowjacket Thought

I thought about attending the Boyd playoff game in Burleson today.

No way. Rain is bad. Cold is bad. Cold rain is Double Bad.

Random Thought

That Best Buy commercial that shows the girl mocking her parents until they show up with presents really bugs the crap out of me.

Football Carnage

Fran is gone. Nebraska fired its football coach this morning. Mike Singletary rejected Baylor like a bad first date from match.com. And, in an unrelated football note, ORU president Richard Roberts - who I used to watch on Sunday morning before his daddy saw a 900 foot Jesus - got ran out of town.

It's ugly out there.

I Think . . .

. . . I just saw Eric Cartman introduce the offense and defense for Colorado.

Always A Good Day

Last year I went and watched Euless Trinity v. Southlake Carroll at Texas Stadium. That caused me to miss the upset of the Aggies over the Longhorns. I think I'll stay put today.

Success

Another 8 mile Turkey Trot in the books. Cold and a little windy, but the sun made it almost perfect conditions. I finished at 1:06:03 (about four minutes faster than last year - I credit Nutrisystem.) But I sure didn't like the pain in my non-surgically repaired Achilles Tendon.

Assistant County Attorney Thomas Aaberg showed up and finished somewhere during the 55 minute mark. That's a blistering pace.

But as I was checking in, I laughed when I saw the name of "Barron Green" next to mine (blurry cell phone pic). I don't know who that guy is, but he always runs these races and, for the next year, some fine commenter(s) will refer to me as "Barron."

Edit: Thomas finished 266th out of 4152 runners and 33 out of 332 in his age group. I clocked in at 1095 out of 4152 and 99 out of 284 in my (very old) age group.

And my unknown nemesis, Barron Green, finished 1371 with a time of 1:08:26. Scoreboard, Barron! Scoreboard. (Although he is two years older than me.)

Obviously, It'll Be Quiet Around Here For The Next Couple Of Days

I'll run the 8 mile Turkey Trot in Dallas tomorrow morning (man, if the wind doesn't blow, the cold weather will make it great), and then spend the rest of the day with my family in Bridgeport.

I wrote this about Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. It was a crowd pleaser. And it still applies.

Solve This For Over $60,000

Or not.

Wednesday Morning Pick Me Up

Probably from a bar off Highway 51.
