1. Cowboys stud receiver Dez Bryrant was apparently kicked out of a shopping mall Saturday along with four of his friends. When Dez and his posse belligerently opposed security's request to pull up their pants, they were escorted from the mall. I bet it's safe to say that Bryant's favorite song is not "Pants on the Ground."
2. Texas Tech has hired Billy Gillispie to take the reigns of their struggling men's basketball program. I can't really see this as a good move for Gillispie or for Texas Tech. Why not? It's hard for me to fathom Gillispie, who has greatly struggled with alcohol in the past, to succeed in a place like Lubbock where the two greatest forms of entertainment for people are watching the tumbleweeds roll by and getting drunk.
3. Colby Lewis went 7 strong innings in a minor league start yesterday. Put me down as a believer in Lewis to not only repeat his 2010 success but to exceed it. I just wish we had three more of him to save the Rangers patchwork rotation that they plan on throwing out there to start the season.
4. Commissioner Roger Goodell tells reporters that the NFL has no plans to go with replacement players if the work stoppage affects the upcoming season. When (and if) the season begins, I wish the Cowboys would go against Goodell's wishes by using replacement players....a replacement for Barber, a replacement for Alan Ball, a replacement for Colombo, a replacement for Leonard Davis.....
5. In the same report about Goodell not wanting to use replacement players, we learn that the Dolphins have been fined for violating off-season rules in regards to contacting players. One of the players contacted was quarterback Chad Henne, who was benched last year for both Chad Penningon and then Tyler Thigpen. If I was Henne's coach, I couldn't resist contacting him either, but all I'd be saying is, "don't worry about this work stoppage because you'll be out of a job no matter what happens."
