Leading Off (3/22/11)

Cops to Drop Docs on Bryan McCann. The Cowboys cornerback says he wasn’t drunk when he was arrested at the downtown club Plush. Cops say otherwise, and they’ll release documents today to prove it.

Man With Fresh Face Strikes World’s Fancy. Dallas Wiens is the Fort Worth guy who got the country’s first full face transplant in Boston. He’s international news now. They’re talking about him in China. But everyone is going to be very surprised when, at his first press conference, Wiens pulls off that face and reveals himself to be — John Travolta!

Counselor Clashes With Court Over Caraway Tapes. Mayor Dwaine Caraway’s lawyer is doing his best (sub req) to keep the “Arthur and Archie” tapes away from public ears, but I still have hope that we’ll get to hear them. Please, Santa, bring me the WAV file. Or MPEG. Whatever format is convenient.

Irving Coach Tries To Tamp Down Tempest Over Tattoo. Irving MacArthur coach Suzie Oelschlegel promised her girls basketball team that she would get a tattoo of the team’s motto if they won the state title. They won. The motto: “We n dat thang.” The internet tells me that the motto comes from the title of song by a young man who goes by the handle Crunk Joo$e (who is entranced by his own bowel movements, apparently). Anyway, so a faux controversy has arisen over this tattoo. The DMN writes about it today (no link because that’s the way I sometimes roll with the paywall). But the hubbub got started with this Yahoo Rivals post. Oelschlegel hasn’t gotten the tat yet and just wants to focus on her girls’ big victory. Man, now I can’t get that song out of my head.

  1. Better in your head than tattooed across your lower back.

  2. If you have seen Dallas Wiens’ story on the local news, the Travolta line is pretty tasteless and crass

  5. Coach Oelschlegel just needs to suck it up, go under the needle, and invest in some tattoo removal treatments. Maybe her team would fall for a henna tattoo.
