The NFL Network has a special on the dominant Cowboys offensive line of the 90’s. It’s kind of crazy there was a special on the most significant contributor to the Cowboys success yet the current general manager doesn’t really give it a lot of attention today. But the special was surprisingly good.
Not one member of that offensive line was drafted higher than the third round.
Nate Newton and Pam Oliver were classmates at Florida A&M, she even referred to him as Nathaniel. He of course lost a significant amount of weight, but it looks like he’s put on a few more pounds from his weight loss commercials, actually, he looks healthier with the added pounds.
I had no idea that Mark Tuinei played basketball with Barack Obama, had gang related issues, started out on defense behind Randy White when he first came to the team, and had a bit part in a ‘Magnum P.I.’ episode.
Gary Busey was actually a part of the special, ore than you would think.
The Coppell Deli was prominently seen.
In the after show special Jerry Jones stated he has a special red phone in his office for emergency calls, like when players get in trouble.
I feel like when it’s all said and done, you could make a decent argument that Rich Dalrymple deserves a spot in the Ring of Honor.
Larry the Cable Guy is promoting medicine, should people really be taking medical advice from that guy?
As you may have noticed I’ve been going through a lot of my father’s old stuff. So far I haven’t found anything that leads to a secret retirement fund or a Babe Ruth baseball card, but I did find an article about my great-grandparents’ 51st wedding anniversary. Until yesterday, I had no idea of their names and have never seen a picture of them. Actually, my great-grandmother’s name was left out of the article as they just listed the couple as Mr and Mrs Edward E. Geeding. Their address was listed, it looks like their house has been torn down. Sadly the article cut from the paper doesn’t have a date.
When I was in college I had a friend who was about to get married that was a big Green Bay Packers fan. For the heck of it, he sent a wedding invitation to the Packers and they responded with a very cool personalized letter. So when I got engaged I sent an invitation to Jerry Jones and to the Cowboys and got nothing. I thought of those two things when I saw this wedding invite sent to Peyton Manning.

I ran across an urban legend that Sammy Davis Jr’s body was exhumed to remove the $70,000 worth of jewelry he was buried with. Actually, I ran across it on the @OMGFacts twitter feed a while back. I couldn’t find any creditable source online to support that claim so I’m calling bullsh.
This time of year certain recycled news reports get on my nerves. One of them is Black Friday reports on location and another is the updated value of the twelve days of Christmas.
The Christmas I can’t stand the most is “Feliz Navidad” and the music from “The Nutcracker” isn’t far behind.
Using a two verses in the book of Luke, Tea Party activist states that ‘Jesus Christ is weeping in heaven’ over pope’s criticism of capitalism. One discouragement of people using scripture to back an argument is they don’t often take into account how a few particular verses plays to the context of the entire book, chapter, time, setting, culture, and a whole host of other things. But I think if you read the rest of that section you get a bit of a different perspective of why Jesus said what he said. With that said, I’m also a stickler for Jeremiah 29:11. People love to use this verse and apply it to them personally, but in this case God was trying to encourage those that have been exiled from Jerusalem and remind them of his promise to deliver them. I see how some folks can make it apply on a personal level, that God has made a promise to them he will fulfill promises to you, but I don’t think it’s a just comparison, and I have a feeling I may have just opened a hornets nest for being an armchair theologian.
Students in Shanghai, China, scored the highest in math, reading and science, but soon their students in grades one through three would not be assigned homework, and those in grades four through six would have less than an hour of homework a day.
I've mounted truck tires using starting fluid. The trick is to know when enough is enough. I saw one tire jump 5 feet in the air when a guy over did it. Dang near took his face off.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pope Francis is the best thing that's happened to the Catholic Church in a long, long time.
Republicans and their smugness about Christianity is revolting to me. Unless I'm mistaken this country was founded on freedom of religion. What do a Jew, Buddhist, Atheist and Christian have in common? They are all Americans. None is better than the other, they are all equal. The "War on Christmas" is thinly veiled passive aggressive prejudice against anything non-Christian.
I agree with you 100% about the pitfalls of pulling singular verses out of context. I was raised in a denomination that excels at doing just that – taking 1-2 verses to support their point, regardless of their historical context or even the verses' relation to the rest of the chapter. Having left that denomination behind and started trying to truly learn the Bible (instead of just believing what I was told), I have seen how utterly harmful that can be. But, like many other actions of that particular group, it was one more method of control and exerting power, not sharing God's word. I'm am thankful to have escaped it.
Those stupid Aggies, always going from one extreme to another. Kept building the bonfire bigger and bigger until it killed several people, now they've turned their sights to gingerbread houses. What a complete waste of resources.

The "ah ha" ish sound / cry in Feliz Navidade makes it awesome (and the beat is good too)

You got something really weird going on. Spanish War Donkey and my comments were on yesterday's BoR, not today's. Strange, very strange.
