  1. According to TWill's statement, why would the person who slammed on his brakes in front of him stick around to exchange insurance information? If you have to swerve at that high of speed and popped a curb according to his story, you were following dangerously close at a high rate of speed. I can see maybe seeing the accident in your mirrors and stopping to help render aid and seeing if they are ok. But I am not exchanging insurance information in that scenario.

    Also, if he said his neighbor drove him home from the scene, why couldn't the neighbor drive him back to scene? Why couldn't he have the neighbor call the tow truck when he got to the scene?

  2. Harden is one of the worst defenders I have seen. He should be embarrassed about last night. Rockets seemed to quit during that game. Harden gave little effort on the defensive end.

    Also, just another blowouts in these shitty playoffs. Has every game of these conference finals been a blowout?

    50 fucking million.

    Nickelback.

    This is not that unbelievable. The public loves stripped down pop music with catchy, radio friendly hooks and sound. Britney Spears, Nsync, etc were all very popular as well and sold tons of records.

    People who are afraid of escalators.  They refuse to take the escalator one floor down to the tunnel level and have to get in the elevators that also go to the basement parking (where I'm going).  And the basement elevators are way slower than the escalator and they take you to the exact same place in the tunnel--about 20 feet away.  This doesn't apply to people with a physical disability.

    Speaking of escalators, do people realize you can walk up and down the moving stairs, right? I never just ride it all the way up/down. I keep it moving.

     Whenever we play them again, I wish the big cigars would allow the game at Rice to actually be played it in rice stadium. Playing the game at Reliant doesn’t feel like college football at all. Doing it at Rice Stadium means more people can attend, cheaper tickets, on campus atmosphere, and some awesome tailgating either in the parking lot or at the bars in the adjacent Rice Village 

    I hate neutral site games in college football. I get it. You can sell more tickets and all the revenue with that. But it cheapens what college football is about and that is the atmosphere at these campuses and home stadiums. It seems there is way too many neutral site games these days. Texas vs Rice at Reliant definitely was not a good atmosphere at all.

  6. Bravo for T.O. calling out our clown head coach. But since it is T.O., people will dismiss it. But he knows first hand how bad Garrett is. Not from a head coach perspective but from a coaching perspective in general.

    Former Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens pulled no punches when talking about coach Jason Garrett in a recent interview.

    In talking with 105.3 The Fan's K&C Masterpiece [KRLD-FM] on Wednesday evening, Owens said he finds it "mind-boggling" that Garrett remains at the helm of the Cowboys.

    Here are some highlights from the interview.

    On Garrett:

    "At the end at the day, how can you keep allowing the players to be the scapegoat for what's not happening, especially when you have a head coach that's supposed to be offensive-minded? They're supposed to direct and lead the team to where it hasn't gotten in a number of years, and they've pretty much been in a standstill under coach Jason Garrett."

    How do you think the blame avoids Garrett?

    "I have no idea. You know what's really tough? When you really look at it, it doesn't make sense for Jason Garrett to continue to have his job. [The organization is] not really expanding or progressing even as a team under his coaching tenure there. 

    "Let's bring up basketball for a minute. Here you have Dwane Casey of the Toronto Raptors. This guy was voted unanimously coach of the year, has taken Toronto to the playoffs, had three straight years of 50-plus wins and then they don't make it beyond what the expectations are within that organization and he gets fired. And then you have Jason Garrett who has no accomplishments not even close to that and he continues to still have a job. 

    "It all boils down to players being the scapegoat for his inability to lead the team as he should. For me it's mind-boggling. I don't understand. And I think Jerry [Jones] -- again he's the owner at the end of the day, he has to feel good with himself about the decisions -- but I just don't understand why this guy [Garrett] still has a job."

    Who's the better coach: Andy Reid or Jason Garrett?

    "That's a slam dunk. Andy Reid is by far the best coach that I've had. And I say that because he realized the talent that I had and he utilized me to the best of my abilities. 

    "There was no ego when I went to the Philadelphia Eagles despite whatever the media portrayal was of me. I wasn't selfish by any means. Sometimes yeah, I was selfish to a degree that if I know what I can provide and I know what I can do to a defender or a defense to help us win, then yeah why wouldn't I be selfish? Some of the greatests have been said to be selfish. 

    "I realize what presence that I presented with and without the ball. And that's what a lot of people didn't know about me. Internally there are coaches that knew that about me, and I felt like even with this whole Hall of Fame stuff [the debate about whether Owens belongs in the Hall amid all the reported locker-room strife] that went about, those should have been the guys that really stood on the platform to dispel some of the notions that I divided the locker room or I was an issue here and there. 

    "But other than that, I knew what I provided. I knew my skill set, and Andy Reid utilized me to the best of my ability. I was playing lights out when I played for Philadelphia. If I would have continued to play there, there's no telling what my statistics would have been at the end of my career."
