MAROON

Yep _ i know one of those guys. He didn't cave and take a plea - fought the government and won. Cost him a bunch of money

what's the behind the scenes story on the upheaval at Pioneer?

rumor from another site: story going around now about what happened: Cop high up in HPD has a kid hooked on heroin. Cop's kid buys from and sells for the couple that was killed. High ranking HPD officer goes to Goines and asks him to execute a warrant on the house to take out the couple to help the High ranking officer deal with his kid. Goines gets the no-knock warrant based on a CI that doesn't exist. The imaginary CI is actually the High ranking HPD officer's kid and the tip comes from the high ranking HPD officer. All hell breaks loose on the scene. Acevedo and the HPD Police Union rally around Goines to protect the high ranking HPD officer that Goines was helping. It will probably all come out now that the FBI is involved. Not sure about the validity. One thing that has been hard to understand is why would Goines go after this couple - what was the motive? They had no priors, apparently no heroin, or apparently anything like a drug distribution center set up at that house. A personal vendetta of some sort made more sense - and maybe this is the personal part. Even if the above rumor is true (that the couple sold drugs), the no-knock is bullshit, and he needs to be serving time for lying to get the warrant, and killing two citizens. Also said high ranking HPD offer needs to be joining him. If I'm the judge that signed that warrant "I want some some butt!"

The Valentines Day episode was great. Love this show

ya, I'm thinking Keuchel didn't like seeing that deal considering he's older and wants more years.

you guys want Art back? I mean after he gets back form his latest politicking in D.C?

yes that is a potential answer for sure. It does not "seem pretty clear" just yet, but I agree we might be moving towards that.

agree with a lot of what has been said. The Moneyball era has produced a lot of really smart GM's who cannot justify the crazy long-term deals for aging players. BUT, I'm still certain that a couple of the GM's will panic here shortly and start throwing money around like a drunken sailor. Pretty sure Lunhow will not be one of them because his models show they will win this division easily.

Cary Grant was the quintessential leading man. Not sure there will ever been another like him.

I think we make another move, but I have no idea what it will be. The chips will start flying as soon as Harper gets signed. At some point one of the other 30 GM's is going to panic and do something stupid like sign Dallas to a five year deal.

Houston was a great fit for he and his family since they won't fly. He also doesn't own a suit as you can see from his press conference....he was told to get a blazer as the Stros have travel wardrobe rules. Look forward to seeing him in a western jacket in the future.

thank goodness Waylon didn't get on that plane.

my 12.5 caimans showed up today. I have them on now that they are very comfortable. Will wear them most of the weekend and next week to get them well broken in. Really happy with these boots.

Dak and Bop in Houston has great fried chicken.

same with HEB. My grandfather worked for Lone Star and HEB wouldn't cash his payroll check - grocery stores did that kind of stuff back then. Needless to say, my grandmother was not allowed to shop at HEB (which wasn't a hardship because they were never open).

that's nuts. Dallas has had a few season cut short by injury already. Not a great trend for a 31 year old guy. Ya, let's sign him until he's 37!

so will riverstone. any idea how much of the debt Apollo and Riverstone might hold? I'm assuming Apollo will do just about everything they can to keep them from going bk.

so I started this series when it was originally on FX because of all the chatter on shaggy about how great it was. I picked it up in season three and always thought it was one of the top series ever. Finally got Amazon Prime and have binged the first two seasons over the past week or so. My thoughts are that season 1 was the weakest of all seasons. It seems like they didn't exactly know what they wanted to do with the series (each episode was is on little story). Once they finally developed the characters and the story it was golden. Season 2 was outfrickingstanding. Mags was great. Always loved Dickie as well.

The entire Valley Girl soundtrack

well they showed up today. Great looking boots, but I could not get my foot in them. Sending back for a 12.5. Hope that works because these are seriously nice boots.

I don't answer any phone call that is not already in my list of Contacts. If they leave a message I'll listen. If it's a robo call I then block that # (not sure that actually works on an I-phone). If it's legit I'll call back. but ya it pisses me off as well.
