1. Police arrested Cristal Taylor on fraud charges Wednesday morning — at Dirk Nowitzki’s Preston Hollow home. Good timing. He doesn’t really have anything else on his mind right now. Christ. When reached for comment, Chris Webber said “a true warrior, a dog” would never let a criminal like Taylor in his home.

2. Judge Carlos Cortez says Judge Eric Moye assaulted him at the courthouse yesterday afternoon. Moye says “nuh-uh,” and the Texas Rangers are investigating. TNT’s Kenny Smith said he didn’t want to overreact, but added, “It feeds the stereotype that this guy is playing a little soft.”

3. In Krum, in a weird turn of events I still don’t fully understand, city hall employees discovered decades-old nude photos of former police and fire chief Conrad Shiftlet. Charles Barkley, on hearing the news, smirked and said, “One of the keys to being a great player is having so much confidence in yourself.”
