  • Ever been to North Side Outlaws bar in the stockyards? A grandmother is dead from a stray bullet outside of it over the weekend. 
  • I've got that Nancy and Tonya segment from NBC last night on the DVR. 
  • I was at a legal seminar on Friday. The difference in speakers was stunning. On one hand you had someone actually understood what it was like to stand in front of a jury and on the other you would have some fraud who was trying to impress an audience.

I'm always surprised when I see a movie with so many stars that has slipped by me. Then again,  I suppose I had never heard of it because it looked bad.
  • I thought the TCU assistant athletic director would get in trouble for mindlessly mocking the Aggie bonfire tragedy but, man, that was quick
