    In The Red...

    Once underway the brothers Gilmour handled the videography and were beyond professional. Larry Knowles did the lion's share of work with photoraphy duties, Vanessa Compton did equally amazing work with the interviewing duties.

    SCARred for Life?

    If Saturday were to be a platform/stepping stone for a comeback to the NFL, a case can be made for Owens. As part owner he can opt out of not playing road games.

I remember being the lone guy working the bar cocktail side while most of Addison proper was stuck or snowed in. Many of you chose to come see me and drink. That was a crazy 48 hours. At one point I picked up a piece of ice that was 4 inches thick. You could see the layers of ice and snow. It was like looking inside a piece of 5 layer chocolate cake. Crazy...

    The Color Purple (And Other Rimshots)!

    If walks are the very thing that will put gray hairs on a manager, my guess is the same applies to missed foul shots in basketball. Seeing Kobe miss two in a row-rare. Seeing Dirk miss two straight-unheard of! Watching the Lakers miss 7 of 9 at crunch time and STILL get the win? Absolutely demoralizing.
