Hair update and other thoughts

1.  It's 2-2.  I'm not nervous yet.  But I seem to be taking more care of my hair lately.  Extra conditioner.  Cream rinse.  Washing it at just the right temperature. What the Mavs did last night was gutsy.  It could be 3-1 Mavs, but much more realistically, the series should be over.  The Heat have been in control of every game, but are just abysmal in the 4th quarter.

2.  The NFL owners and players are having secret meetings.  Good news.  Very good news.  Maybe we won't have a doomsday scenario after all.  The players have to negotiate now.  They've fired all their legal bullets.  Just get it done.

3.  Terrelle Pryor is out at Ohio St.  So is Jim Tressel.  I don't feel bad for "The Vest."  When you stick your neck out for someone who clearly has their own interests at heart, this is what happens.  Ohio St. is about to get very burned.  The worst part is that the university has done nothing until prompted by the media.  Jim Tressel's  resignation didn't come after it was revealed that he lied.  It came after an interview in Ohio St.'s student newspaper, The Lantern, revealed that players had been accepting tattoos and cash for 10 years.  And just before the SI article about even more violations.  Yahoo Sports blew the lid off the whole thing initially.  And Terrelle Pryor didn't leave the school until just 3 hours before an ESPN Outside the Lines report was to air about how he made up to $40,000 signing memorabilia.  What's troubling about this is, Ohio St. should have acted on this immediately.  When you only make big decisions when forced to by the media, it makes people think you have no moral compass.  I think that AD Gene Smith and university president Gordon Gee will be the next to go.  I can't see the board of regents at OSU thinking that keeping these 2 is good for their image.  And clearly that's how they have made all their other decisions.

4.  The Rangers look like they did last year.  If the offense gets really going, watch out.  They'll run away with the West again.  But Ron Washington is spinning his wheels with Ian Kinsler in the leadoff spot.  Ron, old buddy old pal, that ship has sailed. 

5.  I have a fundamental question about today's society.  Why in this age of technology, if you are a Congressman, do you think that taking sexual photos of yourself and sending them to people is a good idea?  You're going to get caught.  Anthony Weiner you're a dufus. Have Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Pam Anderson, and scores of other Hollywood idiots taught us nothing? Someone is always going to find your tapes and pictures.  Always.  Has Congress always been this full of idiots?  Back in the day did people in the Original 13 have to worry about this kind of stuff?  Do you think that Henry Clay ever sent a nude painting via Pony Express to a woman in another state?  I am sure that Congress clamors for the good old days of the 1880s when you could have a mistress in peace.   

6.  Tony Romo is married now.  How much do you want to bet that the first time he has a bad game that a group of Dallas fans blames the fact that he spends too much time with his wife?  It's going to happen.

7.  Is anyone else just flat out tired of Lady Gaga?

8.  We drove a Hyundai Equus up to Dallas for the Mavs game yesterday.  Awesome ride.  Just awesome.

9.  Do you think that NBA players have a hard time keeping up with their tattoos?  Most of them seem haphazardly put together.  Is there a method or do you just go in get a picture drawn on you and fill up the open space later?  I am trying to understand.  DeShawn Stevenson for one is all over the place.  Someone help me out.

10.  I am claiming that I am the only blogger to ever mention Lady Gaga, Paris Hilton, 1800s Congressman Henry Clay, and  DeShawn Stevenson in the same post.  Prove me wrong I dare you.

That is all.
