Leading Off
1. Dallas police tracked criminals who stole an ATM from the Velvet Hookah in Deep Ellum, and nabbed them with the ATM still in the car. Which reminds me: I love the Velvet Hookah. And I’m currently out of cash.
2. Candy Evans is all over this story on DallasDirt: In Preston Hollow, a couple’s pit bulls have attacked neighbors walking their dogs for a second time. And they feel like everyone hates them. Awww. As you know, my sympathy for pit bull owners is nil. If you own one, and it attacks someone, I hope you go to jail, and they kill the dog. But I don’t hate you. That’s a little strong.
3. It looks as though HBO will feature the Dallas Cowboys in this season’s episodes of Hard Knocks. That noise you hear is Karma doubled over with laughter.

I love “Hard Knocks.” Every season has been ultra-insightful into the behind-the-scenes of the NFL. But what I don’t understand is why any team would allow HBO and NFL Films to film them — unless they have unbridled vanity and a relentless need to be in the spotlight. But you would never expect that of such shrinking violets as King Carl Peterson, Brian Billick, Herm Edwards, and Jerry Jones.
What good can come of it? It’s not like the Cowboys _need_ the extra publicity. I’m not superstitious, but every season following the show, that team has tanked. Maybe it’s the distraction at training camp of having a couple dozen cameramen, producers, sound guys, etc. watching your every move?
I’ll go on the record now: Jerry’s publicity-based pimpage of his team — the Dallas Cowhores? — will ensure that the team does not reach the Super Bowl. Congrats, Mr. Greatest Owner/General Manager Ever.
Maybe they should take the pit bulls from the owners and tie them up to Velvet Hookah’s ATM
Why do the dogs have to die because their owners suck?
I propose a television show where cops track big ego owners of sports teams with pit bulls. If they successfully get away, then they win a free ATM.

Did the thought ever pass your mind that no one really cares what you think about pit bulls are their owners? I think as far as you life endeavors go, you are batting zero.
Some think parents that allow their children to run amouk in public places should be ***** slapped and spat upon. No hate, just spit.
Slow news day uh?
Bill, you can slap me and spit upon me, but don’t do that first thing to me.
Ever.
Again.
LEADING OFF is all trailor trash - theft of ATM, pit bulls and Jerry Jones. There’s a thread, way to go!!!
I use a tracter to pull my trailor. I let my pit bulls drive.
Daniel,
Who will you let do that first thing to you?
