I smell an upset. Or is it just really dark urine? If you’re not too hungover tomorrow morning, ESPN’s Texas-OU GameDay crew will set up shop outside the Cotton Bowl at 9 a.m. I think it'd be funny to see someone hold up a Pacman Jones cutout in the background,...

I smell an upset. Or is it just really dark urine?

If you’re not too hungover tomorrow morning, ESPN’s Texas-OU GameDay crew will set up shop outside the Cotton Bowl at 9 a.m. I think it'd be funny to see someone hold up a Pacman Jones cutout in the background, but that's just me. Look for Lee Corso to piss off Texas fans by adorning an OU hat around 10:45 …

Thought it was very classy and courageous of Pacman to stand up and face the music Thursday at Valley Ranch. And good on the Cowboys for not allowing their troubled player to skip out on his mistakes. Right. ...

The Mavericks are 2-0 in the preseason. Which, obviously, leads Mark Cuban into talking about sex-change switcheroos. …

Too many gaffes to count in the Pacman debacle, seriously. My favorite is the police report, noting that the incident occurred at the “Jewel” Hotel. God forbid that officer is ever called to an emergency in Boerne. …

So the DISD’s Office of Professional Responsibility conducts a seven-month investigation – that’s seven months – and clears everyone of everything in the South Oak Cliff grade-changing scandal involving former basketball star Darrell Arthur. In the blink of an eye, Channel 8’s Brett Shipp has re-opened the can o’ worms. Which begs the question, who is more coddled: Pacman or Arthur? …

If the latest polls are correct, look for this sticker coming to a bumper near you very soon: Country First! McCain Second!

Hockey season starts tonight when the Stars host the Blue Jackets! Or, if you prefer, wake me up in six months! Just kidding. Can’t wait to watch new forward Sean Avery and listen to old reliables Ralph ‘n Razor. But it will be more scintillating come April, right? …

I keep getting these annoying emails from reddish “friends”, screaming at me to watch a YouTube video claiming the terrorist Barack Obama is somehow responsible for our financial meltdown. “What the mainstream media won’t tell you!” screams the headline. Really? If it’s true, my friends, then why doesn’t John McCain, my friends, kinda, ya know, bring it up along his campaign trail, my friends? …

Rough couple weeks for Dallas’ Only Daily Cowboys beat reporter Calvin Watkins. I like Calvin. Very personable. We’ve always been friendly. But last week his “T.O. confronts Romo” story was, shall we say, a bit off? And this week he first reported the Hotel Horseplay occurring at 1:30 a.m. instead of 11 p.m., and later got called out in the locker room by Pacman apologist Tank Johnson. …

Watched the debate Tuesday night in anticipation of McCain, my friends, taking the gloves off. If he did, we’ve come to this realization, my friends: Under his soft gloves, McCain, my friend, possesses even softer fists. …

Is it just me, or is Sarah Palin just a subtle head wiggle from being this lady? … – Richie Whitt
