Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• That's Florida's Tim Tebow's girlfriend above. I think. Even if I'm wrong, she's worthy of a "Hey, now."
• On one my football excursions three years ago, I was at the University of Florida for the very first time Tebow took the field as a freshman. The stadium exploded and had no idea why.
• It's been ten years since The Sixth Sense and The Blair Witch Project were released.
• I cannot take a "quick" shower. Once I'm in there, I don't want to leave. Maybe because it's so comfortable to be in the fetal position.
• I love Pappadeaux's, but I can't remember the last time I ate there.
• I've not had a speeding ticket since 1990 - the last time I was even stopped for speeding.
• I'm wrong about a lot of things but I was dead on yesterday when I predicted our "probation guy on the run" story would go national.
• I had a Star Telegram writer and a Fox 4 reporter contact me about the story.
• The plea bargain he turned down: 2 years in the pen. Trust me, when all is said and done, he'll wish he had taken that.
• I normally agree with the doom and gloom predictions of Pat Buchanan.
• There's a boat show going on this weekend in Fort Worth. The bang to hype ration of a boat is completely out of whack.
• One high brow movie that I want to see is Slumdog Millionaire.
• Final AP and Coaches Poll here. TCU ends up #7 in both. Oddly, Mack Brown proclaimed on National TV that he would vote the Evil Empire #1 in the final poll. He didn't.
• I still feel fat.
• The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 7.2% this morning. Get ready. (But I also saw yesterday where Gamestop's profit rose 10% in the last quarter -- I guess people are buying video games so they don't have to go out for entertainment. Or they are unemployed and have nothing to do.)
• I get excited when I hear the phrase, "We need to talk."
• I'm still surprised Israel has continued the bombing of the Gaza Strip. Normally its m.o. is to strike hard for a short period of time simply to send the message, "Don't screw with us."
• I'll admit to be stupid: Does the average Jewish person lean Republican or Democrat?
• I've not cut my hair since July. And my goatee is back.
• Another guy and I walked across a parking lot towards each other yesterday near the courthouse square. There was no one else around and barely any cars in the lot at all. As we got within 10 feet of each other, he looks down to avoid eye contact. I can't tell you how often that happens.
• I'm beginning to get addicted to The Travel Channel and crack. I mean just The Travel Channel.
