- It's hard to believe that Jerry Jones has owned the Cowboys for 25 years. The team had only been in existence for 29 years when he bought it.
- It's National Signing Day. Anyone remember the Dallas kid who signed his letter of intent from a hot tub years ago?
- One feel good story is aTm honoring a scholarship offer to a kid who will never be able to play for the Aggies.
- Radio Shack is reportedly about to close 500 stores. Does such a strategy ever work or is it just postponing the inevitable? And didn't they try to rename themselves simply "The Shack" a few years ago?
- It's a rare day when I'm willing to watch a 30 second ad before an Internet video. I'll fight through 10 or 15 second ads, but not half a minute.
- Wrong way driver hits two squad cars in Irving last night.
- So DMX is going to fight George Zimmerman? I don't know who DMX is but I'd be a little nervous.
- The Ticket Boys referenced a listener this morning who suddenly died on pneumonia at the age of 32. One of his last tweets was, "I hate that I've been awake since 2:30am this stupid cough won't go away!”
- I got an email from an alleged lawyer yesterday "suggesting" that I take down the story of the girl who got arrested for not paying her bill saying it was borderline "libelous". I did since I'll take down anything that anyone has a serious objection based on accuracy. But that's the first time I've had such a request in years. (And good luck trying to remove a viral story from the Internet.)
- Today's Messenger referred to Rhome as Wise County's third largest city. That made me think Wise County is really small as opposed to Rhome being really big.
- I don't understand this letter to the editor about former judge Sharen Wilson hugging the victims of a DWI death. Was she the judge assigned to the case? Did she reject the plea bargain?
- That story on the front page about the Keller woman taking a plea deal is pretty interesting. It even has a youtube interview of her from her jail cell. Edit: Link fixed.
