			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An alert FrontBurnervian points us to this <a href="http://www.fathermucker.com/2011/12/the-moving-sidewalk/" target="_blank">essay</a> by Old 97&#8217;s frontman Rhett Miller about what it&#8217;s like to be a rockstar and a father. Stop what you&#8217;re doing and take four minutes to read it. Good stuff. Sample:</p>
<blockquote><p>Every freaking day they wake up demanding to be fed again. And then, more likely than not, refusing to eat the meal you’ve prepared. Every day. There is no cycle, much less a break from the cycle. There is only the grind. I feel like I’m tour managing an endless tour with a band comprised of subliterate narcissists.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And a Twitter fight, no less, which is like when people had fights with graffiti in bathroom stalls in days of yore, in case you are not on the Twitters and have never seen a <a href="http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/twitter.jpg" target="_blank">Twitter fight</a> in action.</p>
<p>The <em>Dallas Morning News</em> (because Twitter fights are awesome and so why wouldn&#8217;t Dallas&#8217; paper of record cover them) has the rundown <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20111128-terrell-owens-and-dallas-sports-anchor-trade-barbs-over-td-in-cowboys-game.ece" target="_blank">here</a>. But basically, here&#8217;s how it went:</p>
<p>Former Bengal/something else/Cowboy <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/terrellowens" target="_blank">Terrell Owens</a> (from his couch, since he&#8217;s kind of unemployed at the moment) makes fun of Terence Newman, sort of, for tackling Brandon Marshall and failing to bring him down during last week&#8217;s game, likening Newman to a &#8220;superman cape&#8221; hanging around Marshall&#8217;s neck as he ran in the TD. But he totally added &#8220;LOL&#8221; at the end of that, which should&#8217;ve made it cool in the Twitterverse.</p>
<p>Local NBC sports anchor <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/newyscruggs" target="_blank">Newy Scruggs</a> then points out that Owens is unemployed, and says that his mocking of Newman was &#8220;petty.&#8221;  Then it gets interesting, because OMG &#8211; <em>Owens straight up called Scruggs fat</em>. To be accurate, he called him &#8220;fat-so.&#8221; He then insisted that he wasn&#8217;t slamming Scruggs, but instead gave him some weight loss tips, like &#8220;u&#8217;re FAT &amp; need 2 hit the treadmill ASAP!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Scruggs then reiterated that while he might be rubber, TO is glue, and whatever he says, bounces off of him, and sticks to Owens. Or maybe he just said something to the effect of, &#8220;I have a job and you do not, kind sir!&#8221; And then maybe it went back and forth for a little bit longer, with Scruggs telling Owens to pay his child support and quit claiming poverty.</p>
<p>But Owens got the last word, which was &#8220;fatmeat.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why isn&#8217;t there a market for Twitter war play-by-play?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with Big Daddy Drew&#8217;s work on the blog Kissing Suzy Kolber, then chances are your heart is cleaner than mine. Big Daddy Drew is filthy and full of profanity and other stuff that isn&#8217;t appropriate for polite company. <em>Certainly</em> not appropriate for this blog. What he likes to do is write plays featuring NFL personalities, especially Rex Ryan. Because Rex Ryan has a filthy mouth so it&#8217;s fun to imagine stuff he says. Plus he (Ryan) has a foot fetish. That&#8217;s fun, too. Okay, anyway &#8212; man, I really shouldn&#8217;t do this &#8212; today&#8217;s installment from Big Daddy Drew is all about the Cowboys-Jets matchup and how Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is going to use his football powers (and filthy mouth and other body parts) to outsmart his brother Rex. The play features Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones, too. But like I said, it&#8217;s filthy-dirty.</p>
<p>Zac dared me to post a link to it. <a href="http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2011/09/a-conspiracy-is-afoot-with-the-dunge.html" target="_blank">I don&#8217;t turn down a dare</a>. But in the name of all that is right and holy, do not click that link! Especially if you&#8217;re at work!</p>
<p>In other news, it&#8217;s been nice working here. I&#8217;ll miss you guys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ric Flair isn&#8217;t from Dallas, but he plays a big part in our city&#8217;s professional wrestling history. In fact, he was involved in one of the most iconic matches, when Kerry Von Erich defeated Flair for the NWA championship at Texas Stadium, following the death of Kerry&#8217;s older brother David. (A clip from that match is after the jump, as is a pretty unintentionally hilarious promo for a match at Reunion Arena.) Anyway, most wrestlers don&#8217;t grow old and they certainly don&#8217;t grow old gracefully. <a href="http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6891795/the-wrestler-real-life" target="_blank">Read Shane Ryan&#8217;s recounting</a> of how Flair (or Richard Fliehr, as various court documents know him) slumps along to the finish line, a maybe even sadder, and real-life, version of Randy &#8220;The Ram&#8221; Robinson.</p>
