Whether his angle is salient or not, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban isn't afraid to talk. And it seems veteran guard Jason Terry is popping off every other week about the Mavs catching the Spurs or having the best bench in the NBA or something else equally daft.

On Monday, FOX News's Gretchen "Still on MySpace" Carlson -- a former KXAS'er, for those who've forgotten and how could you? -- reported that the Los Angeles Police Department has ordered 10,000 jetpacks, which sounds totally ... what's the opposite of reasonable? Problem is, as Raw Story and Gaw ... More >>

No Shep Smith to narrate this time 'round, shame, but Fox News was still plenty giddy over the two-hour, at-the-speed-limit chase that started near Sherman and ended close to Corsicana after some dude drove off without paying for gas.
