  1. šŸ‘šŸ¼ I did a simple Google search of how many people are killed every year by medical malpractice in the US. The answer was 250,000 to 440,000. I asked how many people every year were killed by the police and it was about 1,300. So the average person is more than 300 times more likely (30,000%) to be killed by a doctor or nurse than the police. Also note that nearly anyone can be killed by medical malpractice but the number of people who come into dangerous confrontations with the police are extremely limited. The situation is almost always initiated by a criminal suspect, not the police. So for the average citizen he/she is probably 500 times more likely a person dies at the hands of a doctor than the police (and most are justified unlike medical malpractice) yet do the medical professions get disparaged because of those statistics?

    There's two things I would point to: 1) If your child is planning to play in the NCAA they better get used to practicing at 6AM regardless of the temperature. 2) You're going to get more out of your reps, especially the ones later in practice, if you're not getting beat down by the sun. There's a fine line between the benefits of practicing in the heat vs the detriment due to sapped energy levels and attention span.

    10am and we're in the red... "2-hour max practice time. Players are restricted to helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts" Coaches around the state are monitoring their current conditions and will adjust as always. No real threat of missing practice in November December because of this. Hopefully they'll be smart and get the work in early.

    OK Dennis Stewart, Hull Daisetta girls coach is returning to Leggett as AD/Head Coach. Stewart was here earlier and did quite well going to playoffs Regional and state. Look forward to another round of good basketball. I think he can remould this team into something viable.

  13. It's a crying shame that we/us as a nation, live and die on every word one man says. What happened to loving your neighbor, minding your own business, and living life?? All I see now is EVERYONE fighting about this and that... Does it really matter that much? NOOOO! Turn off the damn news and go on about your business. Tell someone with different beliefs hi and go on. Life is too damn short to be fighting/arguing all the time! FYI... NO one is right when it comes to fighting/arguing and trying to prove a point. **I voted for President Trump (both times).

All I know is when the lights come on behind me, I pullover and turn my vehicle off, roll my windows down, take my wallet out and put my hands on the wheel....... If I get shot, it will be so obvious it was the cops fault, there will be no need for research.

    You remind me of one of those people who can't accept when they are wrong. They keep trying to prove their theory, and all it does is dig a deeper hole. Just stop because you know damn good and well that PNG's staff, Carthage's staff, is not rolling into Vidor and winning WITHOUT the help of Jimmy's and Joe's transferring in.

    Not the players huh?!?! So, when Vidor was playing against players like James Brown, Leeland McElroy, Tiki Hardeman, Adam Dunn, Clint Stoerner and a ton of other players... Vidor had a chance if they had better coaching?!?! Or when Vidor's heaviest offensive lineman is 200lbs playing across from D-lineman that avg. 250... not the players, huh? Or when Vidor's fastest player runs a high 4.7 and their opponent has multiple players run 4.6 or better... not the player's, huh? Better coaching would have those players running faster and putting on more weight and would of had them competing against players who had great high school, college, and pro careers, huh?!?!

    I believe both Vance and Trump have mentioned there are different groups that do not agree with the deal Trump is making with the current leadership. They have also mentioned that communication can take days because the gay leader does not want to give away his position. Taking that in to consideration along with the fact that none of the leadership is willing to go in public, there may be a leadership/communication problem..... So, to me that makes Slim's statement believable.

  25. The new OC will definitely will definitely bring the offense back from the Stone Age. Was kind of surprised he would leave Colorado State and come to high school but that's the pull of Coach Williams already paying dues. At the end of the day math just doesn't math though. With our demographics we just don't have the enrollment to play with the top 4 teams in the district and probably not with Kingwood either. Have to remember Kingwood backing into the playoffs a couple years ago with a shocker over CE King and making the regional final. SEC commit in the middle of the defense and a 5* A&M commit at left tackle anchoring a very good offensive line and they have 0 shot. That's life outside the top 4 in this district. North Shore is ranked #2 but I think Summer Creek might be the best team in the district and by far the team set up for the most success over the next decade? They couldn't deal with the CE King run game last year but I'm not sure they don't win a state title if they had went D1. That being said it's almost crazy to think CE King will still field the best collection of skill players in the district and IMO opinion the favorite out of all those teams to win a state title now that Desoto has dropped to 5A. Atascocita is the wild card, for the first time in over a decade they'll get to play D2 and their new coach already has experience coaching high level kids being that he was on staff for Desoto's 2022 state title. Not that the record would reflect it in the next four or five years but I think Crosby is going to get very good relatively fast playing in this district similar to CE King's rise simply because of what it's going to take every Friday night just to be "competitive".

    There is no team that "cant practice". Worst case scenario is to start practice at 4:00-4:30.

  30. Just because they have open enrollment does not mean a player can play the first year he arrives. Still has to follow UIL transfer guidelines the same as if it were closed enrollment.

  31. No it doesn't, the only player making over $1M on Baylor's roster is DJ Lagway who was a 5* coming out of high school and started two years in the SEC. The only way you get those NIL numbers listed above are to be an elite high school recruit or a big time transfer that produced at your previous stop. A low rated 4* or a 3* is going to have to earn their money once they get to campus. Prior to Baylor signing Lagway this year they signed Walker White from the portal who was a top 5-8 QB in the nation before singing with Auburn out of high school, he's already out the door again on the way to Central Arkansas. I highly doubt he's collected $300k after three years on P4 rosters. Baylor has had three players drafted in the last four years which is basically when the NIL era kicked off, two have been linemen. If you're good enough to make "millions" in the trenches in college you're most likely getting drafted. Outside of a guy Baylor is willing to overpay for in the portal from time to time to get him to Waco nobody they're willing to pay that type of money to would actually stay there because better teams/playoff contenders would pay more.

    Tatsuya Imai has to go. He has failed to get out of the FIRST inning in three of his 15 starts this season and has thrown fewer than five innings eight times. This information is courtesy of Chandler Rome who I follow on the X (old twitter) platform. The Stone Cold Astros podcast believes Dana Brown is a lame duck. The Astros will let him ride out this season, the last year of his contract. If the Astros make a deadline trade, supposedly Brown wants a bat. Espada is asking for starting pitching. Which one will win that tug-of-war?

    The worst thing Massie has done was force Trump to sign off on the Epstein Transparency Act which became law. Ever since then Trump has been butthurt. Massie has voted with Trump 91% of the time. He just doesn’t worship his party, he listens to his constituents and his votes show it. lol

  35. Obviously didn’t read what Martin Luther, John Quincy Adams, or Winston Churchill had to say about the so-called ā€˜religion of peace.’ While I don’t paint all Muslims with the same brush, the belief system itself is built on violence, slavery, and lies. Of course, Obama hadn’t read their thoughts either when he defended the belief system at the U.N. in 2012, and he had the ā€˜benefit’ of 9/11 as proof. The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 didn’t change his mind either.

  37. The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405 / Pub. L. 119-38) is a federal law signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025. It mandates that the Department of Justice (DOJ) publish all unclassified records, investigative materials, flight logs, and travel records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in a searchable format.
