- Tony Romo had absolutely no zip on the ball, Cowboys fans should be worried and Jerry is regretting not drafting Manziel more and more.
- I wouldn’t trust DeMarco Murray holding a newborn.
- I miss seeing the Cowboys offense in an I-formation. I know they have a tight-end or two they could use as a fullback.
- The Titans’ field looked ugly for the first game of the season, same thing for Denver.
- On the Reddit Front Page yesterday was the post “I work at a church, and we have at max 100 people who attend” which came from the the r/atheism subreddit. If the post has been taken down it displayed this picture of the audio/video board overlooking a band warming up or practicing. A lot of the comments were critical of how expensive the equipment was compared to the number of people in the church, but the poster went on to say it’s worth pretending to be a Christian for the good money as they pay – $500 a month for his work and more experienced folks at the church make that much per service. I’m left wondering if this guy will end up losing his job because of the attention it’s received. What caught my eye was one of the video monitors that has the church’s logo, which just happens to be the closest church near GeedingManor, just is 0.6 miles away per GoogleMaps.
- I caught the ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ segment on Jessica Chastain. It was stated she was able to attend Julliard because of a scholarship Robin Williams funded. She never got to meet the man, but mentioned she sent him two thank-you notes over the years. Speaking of Williams, I caught a great PBS special on him which I thought was put together using old interviews of Pam Dawber and others, but they actually talked about what his death meant to them. With that said, I was surprised PBS was able to get those interviews.
- Mean Joe Greene’s playing career was a little before my time, but he was the latest feature on the NFL Network’s ‘A Football Life’ and I was curious to see what they would include from his time at then North Texas State. I had no idea he’s considered by most as the greatest Steeler. Of course they couldn’t do this special without mentioning that classic Coca-Cola commercial, but I found it interesting he still keeps in touch with that child actor. I also learned that because he was on the scouting department for the Steelers, he’s the only Steeler to have a total of six Super Bowl rings.
- The Greg Abbott wheeling up the parking garage television ad gets on my nerves mainly for two reasons – he only perspires from his chest, there’s no underarm sweat and not one bead on his face on the close ups, but there’s a perfect “v” of sweat on his shirt.
- The popular Twitter account to follow as of late is Average Life Goals @averagelifegoal. I give it a big thumbs up.
- Today’s dose of ‘MURICA comes a tweet I saw last night: @pourmecoffee: Roosevelts, football and Miss America on TV right now. So much America. The whole house is rattling with freedom.
- I did catch the first episode of ‘The Roosevelts’ and I give it a big thumbs up.
- Miss New York won the Miss America pageant last night. Her talent routine was singing “Happy” will playing with some red solo cups. I know the cups thing is a reference to Pitch Perfect but I wasn’t impressed, but Twitter had a conniption because ABC put a graphic up stating her favorite author is Jane Austen but misspelled the name “Austin”.
- GIF – How an ambulance gets through traffic to the scene of an accident – And here’s the much longer video.
- I’ve been reading here and there that Michigan and Texas are planning a home-and-home series. Meanwhile, Baylor is planning the same thing with Tarleton and Texas Woman’s University.
- I took a look at GeedingManor on GoogleMaps and was surprised that the streetview actually went down our alley, I only thought streetviews were from . . . the street.
- A guy on Reddit posted the contract the NY Giants sent his uncle when he was drafted in 1943. It tells him he will make $150 a game and for him to bring his own shoes.
- Someone is re-writing Harry Potter as christian literature
- With six months to live – A TV News Anchor Announced His Terminal Cancer On Air, Said He’ll Keep Working
- Per this Texas sized sink, Houston is the drain hole of the state.
- Arizona counties tally more ballots than voters
- After looking at this list, I’d like to know what their definition of “cheap” is – Vote: What’s your favorite place for cheap eats in Dallas? – Fuel City Tacos, yes, that’s cheap, but Lockhart Smokehouse and Pecan Lodge, that ain’t cheap. Heck, Babe’s is on the list, and I don’t even think that’s cheap.
- Last night’s ‘Naked and Afraid’ was based in Botswana. The female tapped out on day three of the twenty-one day challenge, the male tapped out on day nine.
- WifeGeeding showed me a Facebook post of a cross that fell on top of an adult bookstore after a storm. The comments on the post seemed to think it was real, but it was obviously fake.
- GIF – That’s one way to get the snow off a big rig
