Leading Off (8/29/08)
1. The Cowboys won their last pre-season game. But they lost receiver Sam Hurd for an indeterminate period of time. At this point, I think Jerry has to follow the plan Tim and I came up with: sign Usain Bolt. He’s a free agent, right?
2. Two city employees were hurt when a crane fell on a pump station near the Trinity River. That’s the third crane accident in the last few months. Fourth, if you count the speeding ticket I got in HP yesterday when I didn’t realize I was in a school zone.
3. That part of the southern end of the Tollway that’s been really confusing for months is now less so.
2 = Genius
I agree with Jay…a much needed chuckle came as I scanned to the bottom and realized Zac posted Leading Off today!!! Thanks for the laugh!
I know that you’re only semi-serious, and that he could make millions more as an intenational track superstar than the pittance that Jerry would pay to a speculative pick, but Usain Bolt might not even be eligible to play in the NFL:

where’s the post on McCain’s choice? -insert jokes here-
1a. I like the end of the article, where it says football coaches are going to be sending scouts to Jamaica. Good move.
1b. But can he catch a football?
3. Praise the Tollway Jebus!
@ m2thej: Obama’s thunder suddenly stopped rolling…
1 = I hear BigFoot’s available…
Fax me your ticket
Has Wick dumped B. Hussein now that Sarah Palin has been picked by McCain. Brilliant move, better experience than BHO and has real ideas.
Did you get that ticket southbound on Hillcrest right after the Hillcrest / Mockingbird intersection? If you did, that school zone light (the one at the beginning of the school zone) wasn’t flashing…it’s been out for a week and HP police are frequently there waiting for unsuspecting drivers.
Sounds like a legit “get-out-of-jail-where-they-serve-bubbas-chicken-free card.” But maybe you wanna go to that jail…around lunch or dinner time.
Unfortunately, no. It was right after I passed that intersection, then speciously decided to cut down Abbott.
