    Baylor has an April 11 deadline, which gives them some time to appeal to the Fifth Circuit if they want to fight the district court's order, so I'm guessing it could be a few more months before those records are produced.

    Check that, woken up by kid who was woken up by thunder.  

    Just a young kid with a quick fuse.

     

     

     

    Sorry, my 8-year-old loves that fucking song.

    Also, 

    I personally think Cris is the best color guy out there. I’m sure that opinion will get ridiculed because he’s apparently more polarizing than Romo. As polarizing as Romo was as QB, it seems the only people that don’t like him in the booth reside in Houston. 

    Cris provides insight at an enthusiasm level between Aikman, who can be milquetoast, and Romo, who has a tendency to geek out like he’s on speed. But he’s more entertaining than Cris, which is why I’ll tune into games I otherwise wouldn’t.  I won’t do that with SNF. 

    All 3 of those color guys are excellent, as is Joel Klatt. They absolutely add to the experience. Anyone who claims broadcasters can’t add to or detract from a game are nuts. I cannot watch a game that Mowins, Galindo, Sean McDonough (or Witten/Booger) do. I’ll literally change the channel, or mute it and turn on Way if the Horns are playing. 

    I'm not sure I agree that he's the best, but Collingsworth is great.  I initially thought he was a smug little shit when he joined Inside the NFL along with football greats Len Dawson and Nick Buoniconti.  But he's grown on me over the years and I think he's among the elite broadcasters today.

    It can rain today or on Monday.  We got a Cub Scout stuff this weekend.  Don’t really feel like cleaning a lot of muddy camping gear. 

    See, that’s where you and I differ. I’d be hoping for rain the cancel the Cub Scout stuff.

    It's amazing how quickly, and how easily, you can notice improvements in cardio, resting heart rate and general "feeling good."  Makes me regret my 30's.

    Same here. The complacency of marriage made me neglect my physical conditioning in my 30s. Started getting back into shape and drinking less on the eve of my 40s, and at 44 I might be in the best shape of my life.

    That snake island place seems like the idea location for an above ground nuclear bomb test.

    But their poison helps people and stuff.

    Interesting. I had no idea announcers made that much money.

    ESPN was paying Jon Gruden $6.5M for Monday Night Football before he left for the Raiders.  Don't know if he was the highest-paid at the time.

    I don't remember hearing about it before he signed. If he needs surgery, it could be anything from taking out a small bit of disc, a one-level ACDF (fusing 2 of the 7 neck bones together), to a major intervention. Even a one-level fusion doesn't necessarily mean no football. My guess is that if he has not seen a spine surgeon yet (and often the referral isn't made until nonsurgical care has obviously failed), it may be that literally no one knows his chances for whether and when he may be definitively over this. Disclaimer: I have not operated on a spine in years and do not keep up with much of the latest and greatest.

    Aside from the above, a friend of mine is head of radiology at a large teaching hospital and he told me that a great many people have bulging disks with no pain and no bulging disk with lots of pain. IOWs don't trust the radiographs. My opinion is that spine surgery is very risky as far as outcomes so it should be a last resort type of procedure with first resort being PT, trigger point therapy, NSAIDs and lots of stretching exercise.

    I’ve watched some Grey’s Anatomy.  Floyd will be fine.

    I judge Orlando on our defensive coaching and Herman on our offensive coaching. Don't see why the same paradigm shouldn't be applied to blOU. Also keep in mind that Riley inherited Mike Stoops, Grinch is the first defensive coordinator he's actually hired.

    Plus OU sucks.
