  1. Based on the first couple throws, I think the Tyrod Taylor Era may be over.
  2. What's the point of pleading no contest and getting 28 years when you are already 53? Based on his reputation and track record, i doubt there is any way he gets an early release. Seems like 28 years is pretty much life. Why not keep swinging. Maybe the 'next' jury tampering effort might actually work.
  3. After a lot of years of complaining about my weight but not doing anything, I decided that A) I really miss distance running and B) I need a goal to motivate me. I thought about some shorter races, but 5Ks and 10Ks just don't excite me anymore. I did a couple full Austin Marathons a decade ago, but that distance seems overwhelming now. I've never run a half marathon. My goal is crystal clear now: The Austin Half marathon. Feb 17, 2019. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to loose 10-15 pounds fast just to be able to start to jog again; right now I'm just a bit to jiggly.
  4. Shooting him is such a perverse escalation of the situation that only a psychopath or a cop would entertain it. It's not second guessing. Backing away is what 99.999% of the population would have done. But she didn't want to, because she was "already wearing black for his funeral".
  5. Let's assume these facts are correct. So she was standing in a well lit hallway in front of what she thought was her own apartment, she somehow opened the door {defective lock, left ajar, doesn't matter}, she saw a stranger 15 feet away and yelled commands at him. So far not unreasonable. How the fuck does she go from there to shooting him? Police arrogance is the only answer. She shot him because she's a cop and he didn't follow her goddamn commands. She should have stepped back, let the door close and called for backup. It's not like the guy could exit from the back. She was in no way in clear danger.
  6. So many sheep in the world. It's pretty clear that Dre didn't write the beats or produce the Eminem track; because its terrible. It has a few seconds of keyboard repeated over and over and electronic bass noise. Really it's just angry Eminem yelling at the mic in the same style he's been doing for years. Clever word play? Check. Interesting rhymes? Sure. Shitty song? Absolutely.
  7. I would hope that APD didn't file the affidavit and go to the press with this until after they confirmed he wasn't on the return flight. Still, it seems like a better strategy might have been to lay low, wait until he thought the coast was clear and returned, then bust him. If he didn't know before, he does now. Unlike Snowden, I don't think this guy is going to find many sympathetic folks to help him flee. Guns, hate group fund raising, diddling kids. Something for everyone to hate.
  8. APD's spokesman is "officer Officer" Actually it's Commander Officer which sounds even goofier.
  9. Dick Dale's "Misirlou" (starts at 0:31 in if linky doesn't worky)
  10. I'm Mary Poppins, Y'all
  11. The affidavit was filed with the court at 9:04AM and the KVUE web article went up at 9:46AM. Yeah, the cops put this on blast. ( Nothing wrong with that as long as the police work behind it is solid). Could be why he's not in custody (yet).
  12. I'd be curious to know 1) What's the date on the affidavit, and 2) how did KVUE obtain it, and 3) why is he not in custody?
  13. I don't think we've faced a good team yet this year. TCU is a good team. Texas 21 Froggies: 38
  14. So Chip Kelly is going with "The cupboard was bare" bullshit. The cupboard is never as bare as this showing.
  15. Another pick....It's 31-14 about to get worse.
  16. I've been watching since halftime... Fresno is just overpowering UCLA. Fresno should not be man handling the bruins...It would be like North Texas kicking our Ass.... It just shouldn't happen.
  17. the targeting rule has got to go. That if F-ing ridiculous.
  18. Mike Leach Coaching tree making a good showing.
  19. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/09/14/dallas-police-face-ire-over-portrayal-man-shot-by-officer.html ....downloaded data from the lock...interesting...I assume they did the same for the victim's lock.
  20. What is this fake guy. That's not the Interwebs favorite gold paint sniffer.
  21. I've played the Rap Devil track a bunch of times..It's a catchy song. I'm pretty sure I'll never play this again. As a song, it actually sucks. It sounds like the same shit he's been doing for 10+ years only angrier. It's got a "get off my lawn" feel. MGK FTW.
  22. Why is a four year old watching Fortnite videos on YouTube. Great job there parents.
  23. I hadn't thought about it possibly being hers; in this context that would seem to make more sense. I don't know why a cop working a 15 hour shift would take their computer to work, but who knows.
  24. And why exactly was his laptop seized? It wasn't illegal. Unless it they think it had a webcam that was recording at the time, what reason could they possibly have to take it? Looking for mails would be a fishing expedition, would it not?
  25. Does anyone have an understanding of what would have been different if it was treated as an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) from the start? Was it somehow to the benefit of the shooter-cop to NOT have it treated like an OIS? It came out today that the dispatcher calls to the Fire Department said it was a "Security Guard" who shot someone. It doesn't seem plausible that a dispatcher would mess that up. It seems more likely an intentional act on someones part to keep that detail under wraps for as long as possible. I'd very much like to know if she made a call to her union rep before or after the 911 call.
