Barking Carnival

I was fortunate enough to have attended New Orleans’ Jazzfest over the weekend, and my brain cells have finally regenerated to the point where I’m able to write about it. Three nights at the Old Absinthe House and two mornings of bloody marys at the Chartre House will have that effect on a person.

The Big 12 had its worse draft ever. Even Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher think so. It took 36 selections before the second Big 12 player was drafted. This is from a conference with four of Top 10 in the final AP rankings. Pathetic.

“I ought to be left alone; I’m not doing money anymore. I’m not involved in any campaigns. My wife and I decided I don’t want to do it anymore.” — Terry McAuliffe during federal […]
