Ugliest kind of scoreboard.
I realize this is waaaay off topic for our little sports blog extravaganza, but I think this is worth a bending the rules.
In case you haven’t heard, our economy sucks. There’s a housing crisis. We put our house on the market last October and got exactly 0 offers in 60 days. My wife once worked for this company, so we know first-hand about the subprime mortgage collapse. And shoot – like I bet you do – we have a handful of friends facing foreclosure.
A noted Dallas consumer advocate/investigative journalist/hardcore sports fan just may have the solution.

Let's see, that's $15, another $15, another $15 ... oh, screw it.
In the dumbest move since your Texas Rangers decided to fix their first base problems with a guy who has never played the position, American Airlines is announcing it will skip the nickel-and-diming of customers and go right to the $15 gouging.
I know, $30 for your checked bag to go round trip with you is ridiculous. It’s fundamentally revolting. Don’t be surprised if the public backlash forces a reversal faster than when some carbonated buffoons once rolled out this bright idea.
But it could be worse. Imagine if you were a band, a high-school choir, a college football team, Major League Soccer club or, worse, a traveling suitcase salesman. The fee for the 6th-plus bags is a whopping $200.

A better, smoother day of transportation. And lower gas prices.
Let’s pretend for a moment that I like NASCAR. I did, since I know you forgot, once write about it. So there. There’s the flimsy sports connection to this rant.
It involves the ridiculous 14-mile stretch of HOV lane on Central Expressway/75 from I-635 to Allen. Making the trip from McKinney down to meet Rick Carlisle this afternoon, I was reminded again why it has to be Dallas’ – I know, actually it’s the Texas Department of Transportation’s brain fart – dumbest idea since passing on Jonestown.
And, what do you know, I’ve got 5 reasons:

Pissed for years at my ramblings in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram? Constantly annoyed by my weekly columns in the Dallas Observer? Despise my bloggy rants over at Unfair Park? Well then, congratulations and welcome to your worst nightmare – my own sports blog.
As long as you’re here, grab a syllabus.
