A passing motorist pointed a handgun at former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin as he drove in Far North Dallas on Monday night, according to a police report. The Pro Football Hall of Fame member was not injured.
Not even emotionally hurt?
“So we started talking about the Cowboys and everything,” he said. “Then they got back on the highway.” “I tell you what, I’m glad he was a Cowboy fan,” Irvin said.
My guess is that Mr. Romo wouldn’t be so lucky. The remarkable part of this story is that it wasn’t Pacman Jones with the gun.
It is an inconvenient movie in an inconvenient location. I can hear it, I can see the remote from where I am sitting, but I can’t get up the desire to go and turn Al Gore off. Sure, no one is watching the TV but I only have so much energy to deal with myself.

Every year, the same old news broadcasters send out the same old reporters to cover the same old story. Let me help with some advice.
If you are in Canada, it isn’t unexpected to be stranded in an airport during a blizzard in December. It is also very normal for Air Canada to suck. Why in the world is that news?

You ran an amazing campaign with the full support of the media and the desire to dispose of an unpopular president.
Now lets see what you can do with the Kos kids wanting you to give them what you promised.
