I think you could compare Rex to Danny Woodhead. Woodhead signed as a free agent out of Chadron in 2008. Rex has a better shot of being drafted just by all the exposure he has had.
Reports range from 5 to 15 dead. Started off as a fire only, and they evacuated the building leaving fire fighters and other first responders in the immediate area. The explosion happened and they believe the fatalities will be the volunteer fire fighters that were fighting the fire.
In my opinion excessive suspension on Payton. I guess he won't have to worry about this being an issue that happens again. Should have hit them harder financially make the money go into the medical fund for retired players.
I hear you it used to be a more like edgy and fun. Now it's like he wants to be hard sports news hitting only scandals never covering the old material like women, sports spoofs etc.
I think he cashed in and no longer has any creative control.
I get those here in Austin too, but since the ags and the whorns have had some drama it has taken some of the venom out of them.
