  1. Brees wants no part of mom's campaign in TexasAssociated Press AUSTIN, Texas -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has asked his mother to stop using his picture in TV commercials touting her candidacy for a Texas appeals court. "I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved." -- Saints QB Drew Brees In commercials running on Austin stations, Mina Brees had been using a picture of her son in the uniform of his former team, the San Diego Chargers, to emphasize her ties to football. "I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved," Drew Brees said Monday. Mina Brees, an Austin attorney, is running as a Democrat for a spot on Texas' 3rd Court of Appeals. She said replacement commercials that omit any mention of her son were taped last week and sent to stations on Friday. She said she did not anticipate upsetting her son and that "everything in the ad was true." She said her connection to football is relevant to her campaign because her father, a successful high school coach, used sports to teach her a strong work ethic that she would bring to the judicial bench. Drew Brees, who won a state football championship with Westlake High School in suburban Austin, said he got no response from his mother when he first heard about the ads and called her to ask that she stop using them. His agent sent her a letter Oct. 20 threatening legal action, he said. He called his relationship with his mother "nonexistent" after it crumbled six years ago when he refused to hire her as his agent. Mina Brees said her son's allegations were a mischaracterization and that she had no intention of becoming his agent. "I love Drew very much, and I'm very proud of him. But sometimes when people are following a career path, they change," she said. Mina Brees also said she did not receive any messages asking her to exclude her son from her campaign. Jill Fredericks, sales director for KVUE Television, said the station received a new version of Mina Brees' commercial late Friday. The old version stopped running Sunday and the new one was scheduled to begin Tuesday, she said. Mina Brees is challenging incumbent Republican Justice David Puryear in next week's election. The appeals court reviews civil and criminal cases from 24 counties in Central and West Texas. Copyright 2006 by The Associated
  2. the next test is this sunday in DC if you think they cowboys cannot get beat because the skins are 2-5 you better think again
  3. Sports, He was going on and on about I told you so that every move the organization has made in the last 10 yrs has been wrong He said that he said Parcells was wrong Bledsoe was wrong That Jerry is a terrible General Manger does not know what to do Some of it I agreed with some some not If Dallas had a kicker last year and that was Jerrys fault for not having one this team was 11-5 or 12-4 and in tha playoffs and you could not say that bringing Bledsoe in last year was a bad move The caller said that Hanson was mad because no one talked to him from the Cowboys organization anymore since Aikman left and that he has been run off from several radio stations I dont know the facts of that but I do know he has been on Channel 8 sports for ever
  4. I wish some of you could have heard his show last night on ESPN Radio on 103.3 He was going on and on about the Cowboys and how I told you so and then a caller called in and got all over him about being a bitter washed up guy! It was some good talk radio
  5. Thesiman does at least know football and I dont think anyone cares that long ago he was a Redskin qb and a good one
  6. I wonder about the call If you run and dont make it there was 1:55 or so by the time u untangle set the play clock you punt with the wind and leave Texas pinned deep with about 1 minute and no time outs into the wind? but if it had been complete it would have been a great call
  7. I dont know if its scheme players or the offensive line coach but the dallas offensive line is well OFFENSIVE to watch I dont care who was playing qb that first half when u dont block the b gap and let a guy come unblocked and you let strahan come unblocked something is wrong and that is not the qb's fault Who is calling the plays? Parcells? Hailey? Palmer? I think is inability to hire someone as OC and let them coach is crippling this team Its a week to week thing in the NFL and a big win on the road next week could cure all of this but to me things dont look to good for the rest of this season Oh and the defense was also pitful several chances for big picks dropped They were pushed all over the field by the Giants OL
  8. At the start of the season players can be approved and then new information can change that Example: Rent a house for a month in August establish eligibilty and then let it go if controls like this were not in place that type of thing would run rampant I to think it should be an ineligible from that POINT thing but that is not how it works
  9. master i have not seen bashes by this jacketfurlife but I have worked with and coached against some of that staff and it is a great group and that is showing up on the field obviously
  10. This should have been addressed last week or sometime before When did this new information become avaliable?
  11. not a very good poll Tatum and Marlin would strum several teams above them
  12. Congratulations to the Wildcats
  13. will be a good game Blooming Grove was only down 21-14 late to Kerens then had one picked off and returned to make it 28-14
  14. DROP the talk MTown until you walk the walk dont talk about it Malakoff cannot talk about beating Kerens because it has not happened in along time the bobcats have owned the tigers
  15. it will be very ugly probally hard for Alto not to score 70
  16. Grapeland gets revenge for losing to Cross Roads last year
  17. well I dont know about 2nd I think Alto is easily the heavy favorite for 1st and Grapeland is probally second only losing to Alto so this game might just decide 3rd since Cross Roads and Oakwood are both 0-5
  18. Italy and Blooming Grove will both give Frankston a test
  19. what is cushing's record? who have they played?
  20. Ill take the Panthers their 2 losses are to 2 pretty good football teams as Westwodd is proving by their 4-0 mark and impressive win over Crockett last week
