It was during a heat wave in August 2008 that I met Lew Patton. It's never a dull moment when I cross paths with Lew. It's only a matter of time before the topic gets to football and the Cowboys. A conversation bound to get interesting and sometimes heated. Which will lead to a discussion Sunday night that I will be podcasting on the other site.
Some interesting firsts Thursday night. The 1st time the first 2 picks in a first round were from the same university (Kentucky). The first three picks represented the SEC. Last time you had a triple conference exacta on Draft Day it was the ACC in 1986. The number of freshmen picked initially surprised me.
To know that the Scorpions are well into their 60s and still kick ass is amazing to me. Tesla equally as powerful. Either one of these acts could go solo. Felt the same way when I saw REO Speedwagon in 1980 and 2010. Ditto Metallica in 1991 and 2009. All of a sudden I didn't feel so old.
Back in early March I was in Wrangler country for a matchup between the Allen squad and the Wichita Wild. A game won handily by the Wranglers 86-57. Terell Owens was a factor in the game.
I was chuckling because in another week I will be watching Dirk and company have fun playing baseball in the Heroes Charity game at Dr. Pepper Ballpark for a great cause. Now surrounded by five cops and fans swarming for an autograph. I was 1 yard away clicking away on camera. Dirk was wearing a Brek Shea jersey. I wonder if Brek-who has rock star status in soccer-wears a Dirk Nowitzki jersey on his off days?
