1. Ticket 1310 producer Mike Bacsik was fired late yesterday for drunken tweets he made referring to “dirty Mexicans” after the Mavs lost to the Spurs earlier in the week. Here’s the thing: nearly every Ticket host could be fired if you transcribed the choicest words that have come out of their mouths on the air. I’m not saying what Bacsik tweeted was funny or ought to be overlooked. But I am saying if Gordon Keith had tweeted something similar, it WOULD have been funny, and he would not have been fired. So that was Bacsik’s biggest mistake: not being Gordon Keith. That and the record-setting meat ball he served up to Barry Bonds, which every story about his Twitter boner has mentioned.
2. If I told you that police investigating a murder scene in Lewisville found a chainsaw still running when they got there, would you want to read more? I wouldn’t blame you.
3. Okay, what if I told you that some bar patrons in The Colony chased down a guy after he slit a man’s throat?
4. Don Hill got 18 years, but Terri Hodge only got 12 months? I’m lousy with questions on this Wednesday.
5. But I’ve got just one more: hey, Rick Carlisle, why did it take you this long to sit Dampier and run Butler all night? Cause even a drunk-ass Mike Bacsik could have told you that you should have done that before the series with the Spurs got out of hand. Anyway, good win last night.
