Well, it only took 8 posts for this one to go from Texas sports to WH politics and criticism .
Anyone know if this is a OD thread record. Just curious!
Perhaps it was tongue in cheek. I don't know.
Nevertheless, the trend here to inject political remarks in totally unrelated discussions amazes (and disappoints) me.
If we were having this discussion in a bar or someone's den watching the game, and someone popped up with "Bush is a bully", wouldn't you think it out of place? I know I'd be thinking "WTF"??
My point is not to make or rebutt a political statement. Merely to wonder why these comments seem to seep into unrelated discussions with a fair amount of regularity.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.....
Maybe old Bobby has been suffering from a Napoleonic complex ever since his playing days at OSU. He was, recall, the little guy in the backcourt feeding Jerry Lucas and John Havlichek, who got the headlines, glory and Pro careers and championships.
Give him enough rope. Sooner or later, he'll hang himself.
