Common Sense

That’s my favorite joke going around right now about a former Baylor assistant coach who “pissed on the bar” at Scruffy Murphy’s last Saturday night after the Bears’ devastating 58-10 loss to Kansas.
Those that know me know I used to spend every night at Scruffy Murphy’s with my co-workers and that I’ve actually gotten on […]

Another football season, another year of the Red River Shootout. This year, I’m sad to say, I think the Sooners are going to win again. There’s no way that they cover the 11-point spread; just as a matter of pride Colt McCoy can’t let that happen.
If they do beat the spread, there’ll be a lot […]

The Yankees lost today in 11 innings, meaning the Indians lead the series 2-0. Boston is holding its own, it’s tied at 3 all after winning Wednesday’s game against the Angels 4-0. And the Cubs are still cursed.
(Ed. note: This is in no way my own work, I did not contribute to it in anyway. […]

My was a mix of some really good stuff followed by a really bad day today.
Saturday, Space Monkey went to see Rob Zombie’s re-invisioning of Halloween. We were surprised at how far hot chicks in movies titled Halloween have come in the past 30 years. I’ll do a review in the next couple of days, […]

I’ve been working at the Trib nearly 5 years now and I still don’t get to do the picks box. Not even the college picks box, something I know about.
So, if you wanna complain with me, send Jerry Hill and email and tell him to let me in! I think they are all afraid I’ll […]

High school volleyball has been going on for about a week now, even though most schools haven’t started classes, and already I can’t stand these people. How hard is it to give me the winning team and their score?
Really! These fucking morons give me the losing school first and their scores and then I have […]

Bonds just hit home run number 756. I demand that he take a piss test right now!

The centerpiece art for tomorrow’s sports section was supposed to be local little leaguers. But the game has been rained out because of a massive downpour and the sports desk is scrambling to find something to replace it with.
I suggested we take all that Evan Almighty art that we ran in the features section not […]

I totally went without any narcotics yesterday. While that may be a triumph over my dependancy on them, it also meant that I didn’t get any sleep last night. It wasn’t for lack of trying; I had the lights out and I was trying to find a way to get comfotable so that I could […]

A lot of blogs have linked to the Trib story about the NRCC doing a poll last week then pulling money out of the Taylor race.
I know that the Huffingtonpost.com has a link and I heard that TPM with Josh Marshall also has a link, but I didn’t see it.
There was apparently some confusion over […]
