What do you think of my Fav 5?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

No bandwagon here, my Fav 5 sports teams are:

1. Dallas Cowboys – 10 Pro Football Hall of Famers, 5 Super Bowl Championships, 10 Conference Championships, America’s Team!
2. L.A. Lakers (Magic, Cooper, Worthy, Abdul-Jabbar, O’Neal, Kobe, and on and on and on . . . ), I live in Texas but started watching the Lakers Magic’s second year as a kid.
3. Arsenal (great tradition and great soccer), you have to go to one of their games if you like soccer – MLS fans do not compare.
4. Texas Tech University (went there)
5. University of Miami (watched them since Vinny Testaverde started playing), loved when Jimmie was coach – ATTITUDE

I am sure that yours is different, but do you only like teams that are close to where you live or went to school or just root for a team becuase you like the way they play or act?

Don’t you think it is irresponsible for a school district to do this?

Breaking News! Dallas Independent School District….the rules require teachers to accept late work and prevent them from penalizing students for missed deadlines. Homework grades that would drag down a student’s overall average will be thrown out.

School officials said the new guidelines are needed to ensure that all district teachers operate under the same rules and to create a “fair system” for grading students.

Dallas public school students who flunk tests, blow off homework and miss assignment deadlines can make up the work without penalty, under new rules that have angered many teachers.

The new rules will be distributed when teachers return to their campuses next week. But many who have already seen the regulations say they are too lenient on slackers, and will come at the expense of kids who work hard.

See the newspaper article link released yesterday (Friday) below

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-DISDgrades_15met.ART.State.Edition2.4d95d34.html

Notice that I have not given my opinion here… Other than ask if this is irresponsible (All the comments here are from the article). I could nave not taken anything out of context because I did not transpose any language of the newspaper article with my one sentence question…One of the answerers below needs to learn how to use the phrase “taken out of context”.

Cowboys fans, do you think your chance to win vs the Saints is 50/50? agree/disagree w/ Roy Williams?

Do you think the NFL not having a salary cap for next year will stick for years to come?

As much as I support a salary cap I have to kind of like this being a Dallas fan.

Does anyone really think this guy works for a living?

DALLAS – A $69.7 million compensation package and $98 million pension payout to Exxon Mobil Corp.’s former chief executive and chairman Lee R. Raymond has some shareholders and economists asking, “how much is enough?”
“Some folks will ask the question, ‘Is this more evidence of big oil taking an enormous windfall and retaining all the riches?’” said Mel Fugate, assistant professor for Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business.
The Irving company has drawn criticism from politicians and economists for becoming the most profitable company in history — at consumers’ expense, they say.
Exxon benefited from high oil and natural gas prices and solid demand for refined products en route to earning $36 billion last year. The company has defended its profits, saying that other industries have larger profit margins but oil companies’ bottom lines stand out because they operate on a much larger scale.
Recent news of Raymond’s payout and pension is stoking embers Fugate said had been starting to die out. But with gasoline prices again reaching $3 a gallon at the pump in some areas and big oil companies about to report first-quarter earnings in coming weeks, expect more fallout, economists say.
On Wednesday, Exxon reported executive compensation in a regulatory filing that showed Raymond receiving $48.5 million in salary, bonuses, incentive payments and stock awards.
His compensation package also included $21.2 million from exercising stock options, which the company stopped awarding in 2001.
His $98 million pension payout reflects 43 years of service. But he would have received nearly $17 million less had he retired just last year, according to the company’s 2005 proxy statement.
BTW, on the subject of redistribution of wealth, neocons think this is OK. They all agree that working class people should pay $3 a gallon for gas in America. WE used to have a Federal price Cap on gas but Neocons ended that protection measure long ago.
Note, he will pay no federal taxes on this income. All of it will be defered and he will get S.S. at age 65. This is a great example of who got the Republican Tax cut.
Daaaaaaaaa, what part of stealing from the working class with price fixing is it you do not understand. Of course when you put the shaft to the consumer stock price goes up. Republicans call this hard work? Republicans will call it “leadership”, I call it “organized crime”.
In 1973 I already owned 2000 shares. I worked really hard when I told my broker to buy them for me., right

Do you think Bill Cowher will take Jerry Jones’ offer to be the Defensive Coordinator of the Cowboys???

Friday, May 21st, 2010

The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday that Terrell Owens gave Owner Jerry Jones and Head Coach Wade Phillips permission to seek out Bill Cowher as the new Defensive Coordinator for the Cowboys.. I think this would be a brilliant move for the Cowboys!

What do you think of Bryce Dallas Howard playing Victoria in Eclipse?

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I personally hate it… She’s just ugly. Rachelle was beautiful and a very good actress. This Bryce chick just looks homely and boring to me. If Summit Entertainment couldn’t get Rachelle, couldn’t they get ANYTHING better that Bryce Dallas Howard??? Eclipse looks great, but the only part I question is the role of Victoria just because of the character change!

Happy Thanksgiving! What do you think of my bets today?

Have a Great Day of eating and enjoying company and watching the greatest sport on earth. We all something to be thankful for.

What do you think that Cheney was doing in Dallas, TX today?

Monday, May 17th, 2010

…since they won’t disclose the reason?

http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=5874023&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1

And why does the article say that Cheney exited, “Air Force One” when it’s supposed to be “Air Force Two?”

http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=5874023&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Two

Scary! Nothing would surprise me anymore.
hirony: Yes–if he’s using our tax dollars (Air Force One, since he’s actually the president), then he should be obligated to tell us what he’s doing!

Do you think Moss will really join the cowboys?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I don’t,Brady said he wanted him to stay,and he made it to the SB the 1st year he was there.And it says he will probally give them a chance to match the bid from other teams,i don’t see him leaving,he is to big of a threat on offence.And, How exactly would Dallas be able to afford T.O. Romo and Moss? I doubt that Moss is going to leave NE anytime soon, but if he does, I don’t think he’ll be going to Dallas.
