  1. 👍🏼 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?

    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.

  5. 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).

  6. As of today Yordan Alvarez leads the AL in runs, hits, HR, batting average, RBI, on base %, slugging, OPS (on base + slugging), total bases, and intentional walks. He leads a few other "stat nerd" categories as well. He's kinda good.

    Conspiracy theory, like I said. There is no proof, only theories and accusations. I’ve read the Secretary of State’s Election Handbook. I worked elections for 40 years. They are impossible to rig on a national basis, or state for that matter. I pay close attention to rules and facts. You apparently pay close attention to propaganda.

    To be quite honest, I don't hate are have i’ll feelings toward anyone on the board. Truth be told I have a good friend on here who we disagree a lot about on the forum. When we are off this forum we check on each other. I don't take it personal neither does he or Regan. We're retired and just sitting under the palmetto tree talking trash. I am just a cloud with no rain passing time. I agree with mat.

  20. I didn’t listen to the entire show but the part I did listen to they didn’t mention Port Arthur. Port Arthur is the King of this district until someone kicks them off their throne. They said Laporte made a run last year. That run was into the Bi-District round. No disrespect to Laporte. Just repeating what those uninformed individuals said. They also each have a love affair with Lufkin for some reason. Maybe I am off my meds with these predictions but here are mine: 1. PAM 2. Laporte 3. Beaumont Westbrook 4. New Caney 5. Beaumont United 6. Lufkin 7. Goose Creek Memorial 8. Baytown Sterling 9. Galveston Ball

    I must say that the tone of the dialog has moderated somewhat over the time I have been on here. Healthy political debate in the public forum is a requirement for a healthy democracy to succeed. To the extent that this site can serve as a place to help us guide ourselves back to healthier public discourse I say right on!

    9-4A D1

    I beg to differ. I graduated from Vidor in the 90s. I was in school and played when Vidor had the pleasure of playing North Shore, WB, Central, LaPorte, the Baytown schools, etc... and we did not avoid the program. The sidelines were packed with players. We looked forward to two-a-days, we looked forward to Friday night lights. Also, had the pleasure of playing for Vidor in its first year in 4A (20-4A). Again, the sidelines were packed with players. Never mattered to us if we went 0-10 or 5-5... we packed the sidelines with players. So, to me the decline in players is due to current coaching. Players want something new. They are tired of the same old offense. They want to be able to throw and catch. They want to be excited. The late, great Dan Hooks once said... You'll know when you're done playing Vidor because they'll hit you in the mouth for 48 minutes.... That was said back in the 90s.

  45. 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".
