  1. “To Beat the Devil” -Kris Kristopherson Well folks still call it main street, but it don’t look to main no more
  2. Get to keep one: Zeke as a 2nd Rounder Hopkins as a 4th Wentz as a 16th. Leaning Hopkins, but i could be talked into all three.
  3. In 2014, the victim would tell an investigator about the lineup, “But I can’t think of anything that overly stands out that made me select him . . . there wasn’t nothing, you know, that screamed, hey, it’s me . . . I kept thinking, what if I choose the wrong one?” At trial, police acknowledged that the only suspect in the lineup without gold foil on their tooth was Lott. In addition, although the victim testified her perpetrator was clean-shaven at the time of the rape, at the time of the lineup, Lott had at least “a few days’ growth of moustache.” Lott presented an alibi defense at trial, noting that the day before the rape he had been with his fiancée at court on a bond hearing and then home all night. Related: Eyewitness Misidentification DNA testing performed in 2014 on the victim’s rape kit revealed a mixture of two males on a vaginal swab. The victim’s ex-husband—with whom she was still sexually intimate—could not be excluded. Lott, however, was excluded as the source of male genetic material found on the victim’s vaginal swab. Despite this powerful new scientific evidence revealing Lott’s innocence, current District Attorney Paul Smith has refused to grant post-conviction relief to Lott. Smith also objected to testimony from an eyewitness identification expert about the frailty of the victim’s identification. Having been wrongly convicted once and deeply concerned that it could happen a second time given the prosecutor’s posture in the case, today Lott agreed to a sentence modification in the form of time served. He regained his freedom today for the first time in 30 years. “The Innocence Project is thrilled that Mr. Lott is now free,” said Attorney Thompson. “We will continue to stand with and by him and his loving family as he bravely re-enters a new world.” https://www.innocenceproject.org/innocence-project-client-perry-lott-released-from-prison/ Same county where John Grisham’s The Innocent Man takes place.
  4. I’m not saying there is no chance that he did it, but there is NO WAY that he should have ever been convicted with the evidence they presented. Pretty sure he’s actually innocent though. Hopefully with the recent developments that it’ll get overturned again.
  5. Of the recent really dumb NBA decisions, the Grizzlies not trading Tyreke Evans at the deadline last year has to be up there.
  6. Noel took the minimum. Russ may murder him if he doesn’t play hard.
  7. Presti screwed up some, but if George does sign, that is some huge vindication.
  8. The pizza place across from Oaklawn is pretty good and has cheap beer. The Ohio Club is pretty sweet. I like sitting in the lobby bar at the Arlington. The Pancake House is really good breakfast. Mostly, you will just wonder how awesome it was 60 years ago. It’s a cool place but it was awesome back then. There is great hiking and lake activities. Hot Springs Country Club is good golf if you want to play.
  9. George is staying in OKC for a year. Will be interesting to see what LeBron does. If i had to guess, they both sign a 1+1. Gives LAL a year to grow and gives PG a year with Russ in his prime.
  10. Feels a lot like Bart Whitaker. I still can’t believe Abbott commuted his death sentence.
  11. I had a lot of dollars on Floyd, too. Exact same feeling. You know he’s going to win but your mind just keeps going through the nightmare scenarios.
  12. Just got back from a guys trip out to St. George/Mesquite. Couldn’t recommend it more. Stayed at the Inn at Entrada. Great place. For the golf: Saturday- Played Entrada. It’s really nice and 15-17 are some of the more scenic holes I’ve ever played. sunday: played Conestoga in Mesquite first. Pretty nice, pace of play was awful. Almost 5:30 hours. Then we went to Wolf Creek. It’s one of the more visually stunning places I’ve played. Also took a long time but there are crazy hikes to the back tees. They make you sign a waiver for the cart because the drive is so severe. 5 people have died driving out there. I probably wouldn’t do it again but it was worth playing once. Monday: Sky Mountain in the morning. They started us on the back. And the good holes out there are 16-18. We played 9 and bounced to Sand Hallow. Played all 27 there. Phenomenal. Great golf. Fantastic scenery. Nice club house. tuesday: Coyote Springs. It’s so far out in the middle of nowhere that i have no clue what town it is. But it was awesome, too. Pace of play was brutal there as well. Overall, great trip. Fun golf. Relatively cheap. Played 6 rounds and had a really nice house for 3 nights for 975 dollars. Booked it through www.stgeorgeutahgolf.com Brian couldn’t have been easier to work with.
  13. Nobu Hotel in Caesar’s is so nice. Really quiet. Great service. And Nobu and Mesa Grill are within 100 feet of the entrance. I was really impressed.
  14. I highly recommend Detroit: An American Autopsy by Charlie LeDuff. It’s so damn good.
  15. Staying at Entrada. Playing there, Sand Hollow, Sky Mountain, Wolf Creek in Mesquite, Conestoga in Mesquite, and coyote springs.
  16. And he still faces charges in Oklahoma
  17. And now my expectations are significantly lowered.
  18. That’s disappointing. I saw that St. George is one of the fastest growing places in the country. I assumed that would mean the food scene would be good. We are playing in Mesquite one day, so we will hit up Katherine’s.
  19. The Barbacoa con Huevos dish at Cafe Pasqual’s might be the best thing I have ever eaten. It’s a small place, so the wait could be long. It’s worth it though.
  20. The bar area at the downtown Mahogany in OKC is awesome. Breakfast: Nic’s Waffle Champion Hatch Neighborhood Jam Lunch: Nic’s Tuckers Empire Slice House Cafe Kacoa Dinner: Cheevers Mahogany The Press Sushi Neko Goro Ramen (unbelievably good)
  21. Going on a golf trip this weekend in St. George/Mesquite. Any restaurant recommendations? Do they still have the horrible liquor laws?
  22. I boxed a $1 superfecta of Justified, My Boy Jack, Good Magic, and Magnum Moon.
  23. Beer league softball. Our right fielder had never played before this particular season. 2nd game of the season, a towering fly ball is hit to right. He actually takes a really good line for it and gets right underneath it. Does everything but catch it. The ball hits him straight on the right eye. Fractured orbital bone. Blood everywhere. It made the sickest hollow sound.
  24. Thanks. I’ve done Cane Rosso and it’s great. I was considering Pecan Lodge, just didn’t know if it would be crazy busy. Braindead Brewpup looks great, too.
  25. Got roped into the Trailer Park Boys on Saturday at the Majestic Theatre. Where should I go eat close to there?
