Floyd | Saturday, 18th of May 2013 at 01:47:58 PM Stupid burglars… stupid stupid burglars.
The victim of an armed home invasion in Houston has turned the tables on the brazen intruders after they stuffed him into a closet that turned out to be the place where he stores his gun.

And yet another piece of my childhood passes by. Pat Summerall, former NFL kicker for the New York Giants and long time NFL broadcaster has died at age 82.
For many sports fans in the 1960s through the 1990s, Pat Summerall was the voice of the NFL, starting with CBS’ Sunday telecasts and later [...]

Floyd | Tuesday, 2nd of April 2013 at 03:05:56 AM It’s often said that we live in a risk averse society… That is not entirely true. We live in a very foolish society — one that is not risk averse.

Floyd | Saturday, 23rd of March 2013 at 05:01:11 PM March Madness is upon us and in Wanks’ down time this weekend’s Five will be some of our favorite college sports moments. I’d say 5 NCAA basketball moments, but I don’t think I can muster 5 of those so we’ll broaden the topic to all of college athletics…
In no particular…

Floyd | Thursday, 14th of March 2013 at 08:41:10 PM NFL.com, glomming off of NCAA March Madness is having a “tournament” by which they hope to whittle down 64 all-time great plays down to the greatest play in NFL history.

Outlaw13 | Thursday, 14th of February 2013 at 04:16:14 AM An obscure dialect called Texas-German is about to disappear.
It was easy for Dorothy Schneider to get in touch with her European roots growing up in the tiny farming community of Galle, Texas, in the 1930s and 1940s.
