Leading Off (01/28/09): Sheet of Ice Edition

|

1. Ice on the roads, everything’s closed, DART is delayed, the Storm Troopers say stay home until 10,  … and we’re on deadline. Awesome.

2. Mayor Leppert’s aggressive deadline for completing the Trinity tollway by 2014 will probably be busted because, well, a lot of stuff can happen in the next five years, you know? Which is why you never give in to the tyranny of the deadline. You say, “We’ll finish the magazine by Friday-ish,” or, “Be home by 9-ish,” or, “We’ll have that road done by next decade-ish.”

3. In sportsy news: The News reports that the Cowboys are talking to Dan Reeves about being a team consultant, which confirms ESPN’s report of two days ago, and Mark Cuban says the Mavs would consider adding Stephon Marbury if the Knicks released him, which confirms what my sources have been telling me about how Zac Crain is about to put his head through a wall.
