Two Great Texas/OU Photos

I love sports photos which catch reactions of the crowd
Don't worry girl, OU will come back.

Random Monday Morning Thoughts



  • With traffic being the nightmare that it is, what time do metroplex high school football teams leave to get on the road? For example, Denton Ryan played Lancaster earlier this year. 
  • There used to be a slots at the Bridgeport Post Office for "In Town" and "Out of Town" letters. 
  • The second episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm was funny but shocking.
  • I laughed when the Musers of The Ticket were talking about doing errands around the house and you deal with "dirt ladder": You've got a ladder in the garden on soil which is unstable but you do it anyway. I took a heck of a spill a year ago doing that. 
  • Sports: (1) The OU/Texas game was fantastic. (2) UT quaterback Sam Ehlinger is a tremendous gamer. But throwing the ball away on 4th down with two minutes left was beyond dumb. If your coach goes for it at that point, it's a message of "if we don't get this we'll lose". And he was right."(3) The color commentator on the UT game knows as much football strategy as The Family Pup. (4) UNT had a heck of comeback win. (5) TCU had a heck of a win. How did Kenny "Thrill" turn his career around? (6) In baseball, Yasiel Puig did one of the craziest things I've ever seen in a playoff game. He took the first pitch without even taking the bat off his shoulder and just glared down the pitcher. Two pitches later he homers. (7) Somehow I watched the last 20 laps of the NASCAR race yesterday which I think took an hour because of all of the wrecks. That's entertaining? I have a great appreciation for Tallegaheda Nights after listening to the driver interviews. (8) I turned in late to the Steelers/Chiefs game which was great except for Tony Romo's over-enthusiasm. Dude, tone it done. (9) The Aaron Rogers season ending injury was a border line dirty hit. He could have pulled up.
  • The Sheriff in Las Vegas is a Drama Queen. In a press conference on Friday he began it with "I'm obviously Sheriff Joseph Lombardo."
  • You know the perfect place for the new Amazon headquarters? A huge piece of property just south of Rhome owned by a Bridgeport oilman. It has a picturesque view and it would be an Amazon advertisement on a busy highway. There would have to be two nice homes that are given up, but I suspect Amazon would compensate them handsomely for it.
  • A judge has been appointed in the very rare "Court of Inquiry" about whether the Waco DA committed perjury in the Twin Peaks Biker cases.
  • Hillary Clinton has a great marriage test in her new book: “There were times that I was deeply unsure about whether our marriage could or should survive…But on those days, I asked myself the questions that mattered to me: Do I still love him? And can I still be in this marriage without becoming unrecognizable to myself . . . ." 
  • What you say?
  • Somehow on Sunday morning I stumbled on TV upon FBC Dallas pastor Robert Jefferess private enterpise called "Pathway to Victory." For a "generous" gift, I was told, you could get a copy of his new book. For a donation of at least $75, you could get a DVD set of the series. Snake Oil. No wonder he and Trump are best buddies. 
  • There was a police chase that went from Fort Worth to Dallas on Friday over a hot check. You kidding me? You want to potentially cause death over a hot check? You've got the license plate number and pulled up beside the person and can now ID them.

It's Friday. Let's Get Out Of Here.

 Don't Get Me This Dog!
 Free car wash.
"I've got a great idea! It'll be fun!  Let's . . . "
 Any chance this guy is still alive today?

 That was an impressive unnecessary jump off the top of the fence.
 I've had buddies throw golf clubs in frustration. But this?

Random Friday Morning Thoughts



  • Orlando Scandreck is my hero. 
  • UT coach Tom Herman has Shake Voice during every news conference.
  • The goofy tweeting Texas Supreme Court Justice has not tweeted since being nominated for the Fifth Circuit. The fake "Aw Shucks" guy has turned into "I Got What I Wanted By Being Fake 'Aw Shucks' Guy."
  • I decided to buy yogurt at the grocery store the other day. Good grief. How can there be that many choices?
  • One of the oddest and funniest guys I follow on Twitter is Fake Bo Pelini.
  • There was a comment yesterday that all NFL players are paid millions.  That always drives me nuts. Dak Prescott's salary this year $540,000. (And there is nothing he could have done about it due to the collective bargaining agreement.)
  • He threw a tantrum again last night. Probably held his breath afterwards. He couldn't even wait until the morning.
  • Hey, it's Friday the 13th.
  • Ugh.
  • Junior Miller of The Ticket had a hot speculative opinion regarding the missing three year old Richardson child: She was sold. I wouldn't rule that out. I wouldn't rule anything out. 
  • It's always a bad sign when my friends at the courthouse tell me, "You need to chill out."
  • This is haunting. They were traveling in a private plane, but jumping from island to island. 
  • Mark Davis this morning on healthcare reform based upon Trump's (yet another) executive order: "If you are in need, you won't end up living under a bridge. You will be taken care of." Ummmm. You been under a downtown Dallas bridge lately?
  • Any update on the "home invasion" in the gated community in Fort Worth from a couple of months ago?

OU vs. UT: College Is Different Than I Remember

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts



  • I noticed that Breckenridge is playing Paradise this weekend. Didn't Breckenridge used to be a football powerhouse in the same classification as Bridgeport and Decatur? Has the population decreased that much. (And, by the way, they are 0-5.)
  • "Black man beaten at white supremacist rally in Charlottesville faces felony charges."  But always remember, there are "good people" on "both sides."
  • ESPN's Michael Wilbon said this about Jerry Jones' declaration that every player will stand during the anthem: "And the word that comes to my mind, I don't care who doesn't like me using it, is plantation. The players are here to serve me and they will do what I want no matter how much I pay them. They are not equal to me. That what this says to me and mine."
  • I've said it before that the NFL Draft should be compared to slavery. Players, after going through the combine and stripped down and looked at on a stage, are then drafted and have to play for a team they have no choice in and paid a salary they no longer have a say in. 
  • Make no mistake about it, if Trump ordered a nuclear strike, the military would simply say "No, we will not."
  • LSU has a problem as many members of a fraternity are arrested after a hazing incident left a student dead with an alcohol concentration of 0.495. (Good lord!) It was due to something they called "bible study" where you had to drink if you got a wrong answer during a fraternity history quiz.
  • The police officer who manhandled and handcuffed the nurse who rightfully refused to take blood from a person has been fired. Good riddance. You gave good cops a bad name due to incredible arrogance and stupidity. And nothing will destroy the career of a cop quicker than the combination of arrogance and stupidity,
  • The "Politics of Dancing" applies to the courthouse.
  • This is very confusing why he said this earlier this morning: 
  • Especially when you consider this: 
  • I'm convinced that I have people who comment on here who are brilliant and others who are as dumb as a box of rocks. (The box of rocks boys will never understand they are in the Box Of Rocks category.)
  • Always remember that the current Secretary of State and former CEO of Exxon (from Texas) believes Trump is a "moron." That is an undisputed fact.This will not end well.
  • Steve Bannon told Vanity Fair in a recorded interview that he thinks there is only a 30% chance Trump makes it for four years. That should shock Bubba to the core (assuming Bubba knows who Steve Bannon is.)
  • It is now October 12th with no appointment from the Governor of a district judge for Wise and Jack Counties. There is a primary election in March. 
  • Trump doubled down last night on his ignorance of the First Amendment.  
  • But wait, there's more! And who are these "people" he is talking about? 
  • There sure were a lot of "news stories" about Arby's new menu items yesterday. Hmmmmm.
  • The Boy Scouts will allow girls. My take: So what? Who cares? It's a private organization who gets to make their own rules.

He's Insane




If he could shut down the press and impose a single government news source, he would do it. And he has no idea how stupid this tweet is. He can't find the First Amendment but he is certainly scared.

Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts



  • The first Waco Biker trial started yesterday with jury selection and the defense lawyer, Cassie Gotro, showed up 20 minutes late. The other noteworthy aspect is that the lead prosecutor has no idea what the law is. He made so many misstatements. A twitter feed of a reporter following the trial is here  and is pretty entertaining. 
  • The Ticket's very conservative Bob Sturm called Trump "a tweeting moron" yesterday.
  • I said that it was odd for the Las Vegas shooter not to have online presence. A prosecutor over at the courthouse pointed out to me that he didn't either. I told him, in retrospect, it might be the smartest thing someone could do. 
  • I'm interested, as I always am, in OU/Texas this weekend. OU is a 7.5 point favorite. But if Texas starts Sam Ehlinger and OU's secondary doesn't get their act together, Texas will win outright.
  • Dubai now have hoverbikes for cops. Good lord. Video.
  • The New York Giants have lost three starting receivers for the year including  Odell Beckham and Brandon Marshall, 
  • Man, that Harvey Weinstein is a pig. How was this not reported over the years?
  • Trump challenged Tillerson to an IQ test. Mensa immediately said they would sponsor it.  I'll help fund it.  I'll make Tillerson a 30 point favorite -- and that's conservative. I may need Wordkyle's opinion on this. 
  • I can't make any comments about 660 AM's Mark Davis because suddenly the station's signal is so bad that I can't hear him.
  • At one point there was a court at the Wise County Courthouse which would play portions of an modified and clean version of My Cousin Vinny before jury selection began to entertain prospective jurors. It was great and they loved it. Then, after a couple of times something dawned on me and I told the jury panel, "You know what that movie is about? Someone falsely accused." It was never played again. 
  • The only thing about My Cousin Vinny that I hate is the DA at the end of the movie. He's happy and just wants to congratulate Vinny. Dude, you tried to falsely convict two kids of murder and that doesn't disturb you at all!?
  • If you turned on the local news this morning, you would be thankful you don't drive I-35 in Dallas. It was completely shutdown and a total parking lot. And wrecks on Central and the Tollway also make you not want to live there. People drive like idiots. 
  • There is not a single time I come across Die Hard that I can look away. Hans Gruber is one of Hollywood's greatest villains. 
  • No one thinks twice of a Texas Supreme Court judge promoting a speech sponsored by a huge law firm that will likely appear in front of him?
  • I heard a radio advertisement for "Wealth Expo" featuring Tony Robbins, Suze Orman, Pitbull and Jerry Jones. (What an odd combo.) The ad actually said it would be a steal at $249 a ticket but it was being offered for $49. The only people who are going to make any wealth off that thing have been mentioned (and the promoters.)

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


  • Edit: This went up late today because I forgot to push a button before a courthouse docket.  
  • What the heck is up with a Texas Tech student shooting a Texas Tech cop? And how in the world does he have a gun on him without the cops not knowing? (He was taken to the police station after a "welfare check" call where the cops found "drugs and drug paraphernalia.") I don't know if he was under arrest. The facts are confusing. 
  • However, there is the law: If arrested, the cops can search you incident to that but you would be stunned how often that does not happen. If you are "detained" but not arrested, you can only be patted down if the officer has a reasonable fear for his safety.
  • The story about the missing three year old from Richardson is weird. The guy made her stand by a tree at 3:00 a.m. because she didn't drink her milk? I don't think so. 
  • But I don't understand the Amber Alert for the girl being "deactivated." One, why? Two, what does that even mean? 
  • ESPN suspended a basically unknown reporter for saying that sponsors need to boycott the Cowboys because of Jerry Jones' statement that any Cowboy won't play if they protest during the anthem. That seems a little over the top. But the Toddler In Chief was happy about it this morning: 
  • Before the high school volleyball game I went to with Mrs. LL I turned to her and asked, "If I took a knee while they play the anthem would you kill me?" Her: "Absolutely."
  • Cat Fight!
  • Regarding the Waco Bikers Cases, the D.A. down there might have committed perjury. Every arrest warrant affidavit was basically a cut and paste job and signed by the same guy. The D.A. was asked under oath if he talked to the affiant about the cases and he said yes. The affiant later testified he never talked to him at all and seemed stunned by the question. 
  • Those California fires are horrific. Neighborhoods are going up in flames.
  • There are going to be seven new hotels in downtown Fort Worth?
  • A faithful reader found this: 
  • Trump and Pence saying people shouldn't protest might be the most un-American thing ever.
  • The Sonic commecial guys were funny 10 years ago. This time around, not so much
  • This is the greatest two point conversion in the history of ever. (Well, maybe with the exception of Boise State's statue of liberty play against Okahoma back in the day.)
