1. Everyone involved with the construction of the collapsed Cowboys practice facility is distancing from the thing, including the engineer listed as responsible for its design. That same engineer was listed as having overseen the design of a big warehouse in Philadelphia that collapsed in a 2003 snowstorm. Let’s put it this way: everyone who sues will win. If you’re a rookie and you don’t make the final roster, you can probably bank on a successful claim that mental anguish cost you your spot.

2. As the DISD board tries to figure out what do about the three seats that should have been up for a vote this Saturday (you’ll recall that the A.G. ruled trustees cheated when they recently extended their terms), more bad news trickles out of the district: Booker T. Washington could lose as many as 13 magnet teachers.

3. A new report says almost one in five Dallas homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. What the report did not say: Eric is also struggling to come to terms with the fact that the new bald guy in the office is cuter than he is.
