The NFL Rule That Needs To Be Changed
Read MoreEarlier this week, NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman suggested that the NFL rule book need to be re-written.
He’s right. But I’ll go a step further.
The NFL rule book needs to be burned. The league should completely start over.
Aside from the fact that football is an increasingly dangerous game, the biggest problem is — we’re increasingly forcing men in their 50s and 60s to make game-altering decisions. They have to make razor-thin judgment calls. And, they often get it wrong. With NFL players getting bigger and faster, and the game now impossible to decipher without the use of instant replay, games aren’t necessarily won and lost on the field anymore. Wins and losses are increasingly determined by an official’s marginal call.
Growing Up In the Shadows of the Kennedy Assassination
Read MoreToday marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Some 19 months before that tragic day, I was born in Dallas. My family lived in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, which is where Lee Harvey Oswald also resided and was ultimately captured. In today’s column, I’d like to tell you a bit more about what life was like growing up in the shadows of the Kennedy Assassination, as I remember it.
Running in Reno
Read MoreOf all the places I’ve run, higher elevations are always the most challenging.
The higher up you go, the less oxygen there is to breathe. While “sea level” versus “5,000 feet” might not seem like a big difference, it really is — especially when you’re working out and gasping for air. This becomes critical after a few miles because there’s just not enough oxygen to breathe without getting a bit light-headed.
Horrible Woman Dies
Read MoreSylvia Brown is dead.
Good riddance.
This self-described “psychic” who conned millions of people around the world for four decades, this revolting fraud who took advantage of the weakest and most emotionally vulnerable people in our society — solely for her own personal fame and profit — passed away on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for the good citizens of planet earth, her death came 77 years too late.
Yes, she was 77.
