- Here’s something I forgot to mention earlier this week about Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia’s on-field interview after upsetting No. 1 Alabama. After thanking God and his team, he talked about how the NIL made something like that possible. It’s just interesting to hear an athlete credit an off-the-field business function after such an inspiring win. But he’s not wrong.
- When voters say they are concerned about the economy, I think they really mean the cost of living. Those are two different things, but I suppose they’re related, but I’m all about the specifics.
- The TICKET won the Marconi award for best major market station or something like that. I want to be happy for them, but it seems like it’s justification for getting rid of Dan and Jake. Speaking of Jake, here he is talking about his stint in rehab.
- Oliver Stone’s Dallas – Plenty of films have been shot in Dallas, but no director chose the city as often as Oscar winner Oliver Stone. Earlier this month, he returned.
- Last night, the 49ers played the Seahawks in Seattle. That made me think of a BagOfNothing reader who moved from this area and lived there for a while before his family was able to make the move. I bet that was a tough thing to do, to live in a new city without knowing anyone, and your family is half a country away. Heck, adjusting to the time zone would be torture enough. But I’ve always admired the love he has for his family and how he was able to keep them together. This is how good of a dude he is. When I had one of my back surgeries, he brought me lunch from my favorite BBQ place and dropped it off. He must have spent an hour driving alone just to do that.

- Ethel Kennedy, human rights activist and widow of Robert F. Kennedy, dies at 96
My goodness, she’s suffered through a lot of very unfortunate family deather, and she’s a Kennedy by marriage, not by blood. So, including both her husband and brother-in-law, who died by an assassin’s bullet to the head, she endured these tragedies:
- Her father, George Skakel, a wealthy coal magnate, and mother, Ann Skakel, were killed in an airplane accident in 1955. Her brother died in a plane crash in 1966. Her son David died in 1984 from an accidental drug overdose, and another son Michael died in a skiing accident in 1997. Her granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill died of an accidental overdose in 2019, and another granddaughter, Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, drowned with her 8-year old son in a canoe accident in 2020.
- A personal invite for Collin Allred via TikTok to Wichita County. I don’t see how he can’t turn this invitation down unless he’s out of state for work reasons.
