Driver Uses Smokescreen, Throws Spikes, During Dramatic High-Speed Chase in Lithuania
A dramatic video released by Lithuanian police on June 11 shows a Volvo driver leading them on a high-speed chase on rural roads two days before, creating a smokescreen with their car’s exhaust, and throwing spikes to try to slow down the pursuing police vehicle. Police said the chase took place near the city of Marijampolė, and that the driver had put the police officers’ lives at risk.

Bag of Randomness for Friday, June 17, 2016
- I had a family member move to Valley Ranch when it was “the” neighborhood and took that picture shortly thereafter. It was my intention to take a picture after every championship year was added. I never took the time to take a picture after 1995 was added, and I certainly thought at least two or three more would have been added by now.
- When Valley Ranch was “the” neighborhood, you’d often see a shirtless Troy Aikman jogging in the neighborhood. You’d also see a lot of women in runny makeup powerwalking in hopes of running into the man. One thing about that area, it has some great walking paths.
- Valley Ranch has changed from a community of young adults right out of college and affluent white people to a large South Asian community.
- The only time I’ve seen Jerry Jones in the area was when I was inside Boston Market and he was going through the drive-thru.
- The only time I was actually inside Valley Ranch was when my ENT schedule a CT scan. You can read what I wrote about the experience and my impression of the facility here. To my surprise, it even seemed a bit run down back in 2012. And I still think it’s a great way for Jerry to utilize his state of the art medical equipment. Sure, his players have first priority, but way not charge others when it’s not in use?
- I’ve seen several coaches every now and then at local businesses, but one memory that stands out is the time WifeGeeding and I drove next to Bill Parcells and awkwardly stopped at three consecutive stoplights with him. He was driving a Lincoln in case you were wondering.
- Crazy how both the Cowboys and Stars were based in Valley Ranch, just about a block from each other, and now both will have Frisco as their home.
- The Cowboys held their last practice at Valley Ranch:
- Jason Garrett started the final practice at Valley Ranch by having his players watch some video from a 1992 practice at the facility, which lead to this nice little nod to the past
- Most of the players in the 1992 video were practicing in gray. So Cowboys veteran right tackle Doug Free suggested the Cowboys’ offensive players wear gray shorts Thursday for the final practice. “We decided to bring it back because it’s tradition and just trying to show respect and most of all it feels comfortable,” Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith said. “It’s special to see the other guys into it and show the respect.”
- Gil Brant was there for the very first and last practice and wrote a piece for NFL.com. Nate Newton was also there for the last practice, and Brant states Newton was actually on the field for the very first practice at Valley Ranch.
- Michael Irvin is losing all his football landmarks
- “I don’t think anyplace that I’ve done anything exists anymore,” said Irvin, who was here for the close of minicamp. “They got rid of the Orange Bowl, got rid of Texas Stadium, now they are getting rid of Valley Ranch …”
- Jason Garrett started the final practice at Valley Ranch by having his players watch some video from a 1992 practice at the facility, which lead to this nice little nod to the past
- NBA Finals
- If Golden State ends up losing this thing, that’s gonna be one for the ages considering how the basketball pundits have been wanting to hand them the championship all year long. Especially since they have the best regular season in the history of the NBA. I’d say this would be bigger than the Patriots losing the Super Bowl and ruining their perfect season – Golden State would have had three tries at putting it away.
- I gotta hand it to Steph Curry. He threw his mouthpiece which hit a fan and resulted in his final foul and caused him to leave the game in the final moments. Even in that emotional moment of losing a game and having to leave on the visitor’s court, he took the time to go to the fan and apologize. He easily couldn’t have just stormed out and offer some half-hearted apology at a press conference.
- Craig Sager looked weak, but it was nice to see him finally do a Finals.
- The city of Cleveland has gone so long without any championship and has had horrible sports luck, I’m rooting for them.
- There’s a part of me that thinks these games are somehow rigged to extend the series to make more money.
- Colby Lewis of the Rangers had a no-hitter until the ninth inning yesterday in Oakland. I loved the guy’s honesty after the game when asked his thoughts on the game. Instead of saying he was just happy for the team to just get a win, he said, “Ahhhhh, it sucks.” Seriously, I love the sincerity, he almost had a no-hitter.
- Not that I’m superstitious, but certain things stand out. For instance, we’re refinancing GeedingManor and the Estimated Taxes, Insurance, & Assessments comes to a total of $666.69.

- Baylor wants to move on, but it seems like that’s not going to be possible for a while because of the courts:
- Briles’s attorney filed a motion seeking to prevent Baylor’s attorneys from continuing to represent him in the Hernandez lawsuit. The motion states Briles no longer wants Baylor’s attorneys to continue to speak on his behalf even after his dismissal and takes issue with their insistence on settling the case, which Briles has no intention of doing.
- I’m certainly no expert in law, but this is an interesting point, it seems like he should be justified in having his own attorney represent himself if he is a named defendant. However, I’d think somewhere in all that legal jargon that’s in such a high dollar contract, he waives that right. But really, I don’t know.
- Per the Houston Chronical, Briles attorney is “a longtime booster of high school athletics in Stephenville, where Briles coached several state championship teams in the 1990s.”
- His lawyer Briles is trying to get his hands on evidence, such as text messages, interviews, e-mails, and other items that Pepper Hamilton compiled while conducting its investigation. This could lead or force that information to actually go public. Again, I ain’t go no knowledge in the law.
- From all accounts, this motion is going to lead to another suit that Briles will file for wrongful termination, which is going to keep the university from trying to move on sooner than later.
- It’s still weird his son and son-in-law is still on the Baylor football staff. Awkward.
- Per ESPN – “The motion also accuses Baylor of “breach of contract, fraud, libel and slander, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among others.”
- I know the man is stating his innocence, but I’d be careful with the wording of “infliction of emotional distress” considering all of this resulted in women where are carrying the burden of physical and emotional distress.

The motion states Briles no longer wants Baylor’s attorneys to continue to speak on his behalf even after his dismissal and takes issue with their insistence on settling the case, which Briles has no intention of doing.

Mature content warning.
Again, I warn you, mature content ahead. If you were offended or didn’t like the humor of the movie There’s Something About Mary then don’t even give this a try.
Yes, this is a video slightly under eleven minutes, and you may be thinking it’s not worth your time, but I sure did have a good laugh.
