Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• More Ray Rice thoughts (1) The NFL and the Baltimore Ravens are unequivocally on record that they had not seen the elevator video before yesterday. If this turns out to be a lie, we'll have a modern day Red Wedding because a ton of people will lose their jobs. This includes commissioner Roger Goodell and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh. (2) And I think it's a lie. (3) Make no mistake about it: The NFL didn't take action against Ray Rice yesterday for beating up a woman. They knew that. They took action because yesterday the public saw Ray Rice beat up a woman. (4) And females, when the NFL rolls out all that pink next month for Breast Cancer Awareness you need to realize they don't care about you at all. (5) Peter King was on The Ticket this morning and he fell on his sword admitting that he did a horrible job of reporting that the NFL had seen the elevator video in July. But why does he now believe the NFL over his trusted source who he refers to as "impeccable"? It's like the NFL mafia contacted him and said, "Backtrack on that July story."  (6) In this day and time when you can get indicted for joking about a threat, how did Ray Rice not get criminally prosecuted for a Mike Tyson like left hook?
• Thought that Random Thought girl had some crazy fingers there for a second. 
• They finally made an arrest in the 2013 "hit" of the drug cartel lawyer at the Southlake Town Center. Heck, this was like the brothers from Mexico in Breaking Bad coming to kill someone in a parking lot that I mentioned the other day. 
• An Irving mother who killed her two children in 2010 was quietly found not guilty by reason of insanity yesterday.  Considering how much press coverage Andrea Yates, Deanna Laney, and Dena Schlosser received, this thing really flew under the radar. (This was also a trial before a judge and not a jury. Reading between the lines, I think the State agreed she was crazy and agreed to waive a jury and let the judge do the inevitable.)
• Every time I wake up at night (which is often), I look over and see new Family Pup #2 staring at me. I'm not sure that thing ever sleeps. 
• I've been on the Internet since November of 1996, and I'm still amazed that there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that cannot be researched and discovered. I had a debate class in college where the subject was the Egypt/Israel conflict and the U.S. supplying AWACS planes to Egypt. (I feel old right now.)  I spent hours upon hours in the library - as well as going to and from -- and I only scratched the surface of understanding. For fun, I just Googled "Egypt and AWACS" and got  2,590,000 results in .75 seconds. 
• I don't care if President Obama golfs a lot, I'm just stunned he doesn't do a better job of hiding the fact that he golfs a lot. (He said over the weekend that he made a mistake golfing after a statement condemning the execution of American journalist James Foley. Duh. Did he not learn from W's "now watch this drive" fiasco?)
• When I watched SMU coach June Jones getting killed by UNT in the heat on Saturday, I thought, "Man, I've never seen a coach look more miserable." I was right. He quit yesterday. (Which is pretty sorry, right?) 
• When I watch that new Matthew McConaughey commercial for Lincoln, I just start smiling. It's kind of like I'd feel if I saw David Wooderson drive by the courthouse and he nodded at me. Edit: Heck, I hadn't even seen the one with the bull.
• Here's a Vine of Dez Bryant getting hit in the back on Sunday. That is so violent. I'm stunned it didn't snap in half.
