Rhonda Aikman Arrested for Public Intoxication in Murphy, Continues to Veer in Depressingly Different Direction from Successful, Popular Husband

MURPHY - The ex-wife of former Dallas Cowboy Troy Aikman was booked into Collin County jail Monday on a public intoxication charge. Rhonda Jordan Aikman, 43, was released from jail the same day on a $269 bond. She was charged with the Class C misdemeanor by Murphy police, according to county jail records. Murphy police were not available late Monday to provide details about the arrest.

Rhonda Aikman, who divorced the quarterback last year, was also reportedly signed on to be a part of the Bravo TV reality show The Real Housewives of Dallas, which has not yet aired.

Never an easy day being a celeb's ex. Sure your consolation prize is a nice house and some robust monthy checks, but you're still saddled with kids who'd rather be hangin' out with their cooler parent. Nothing's tougher than losing that red carpet spotlight though. One day you're the doting wife of a treasured icon, smiling away at the intense heat of intrusive flashbulbs and jealous groupies, the next your getting busted tippin' back a few in a suburban high school parking lot at 9:30 in the morning. Meanwhile the ex, when he's not crushing Highland Park, could drive 80 mph down Mockingbird after a killing a bottle of Goose and get off the hook with an autograph, a Wing-Stop boneless cajun 6-piece, and a dreamy smile. Poor Rhonda can only whore herself out to the reality TV cesspool to at least be admired by a vocal minority of fashion-conscious queens.

Breaking Down the TCU Frogs 2012 Schedule, Complete with Our Own Early Line Estimates

The gloomy events surrounding TCU's campus in early February seem quite innocent now, don't they? In the end, TCU lost four contributors from a 11-2, undefeated-MWC Champion team, and hope that its quarterback can keep his nose clean enough for at least a few more months. Taking a brief look at this year's Frogs:

• Throwing for an impressive 2921 / 25 / 7 while completing 66% in his first season as a starter, Casey Pachall led the nation's 9th best scoring offense as the NCAA's 12th-rated passer. He will have to help break in an O-line that lost 3 significant starters, but keeps his top 3 WR's in yds and TD's with Boyce, Dawson, and Carter.
• The Frogs had the rare feat of 3 RB's rush for over 700 yds last year. They return Waymon James and Matthew Tucker (18 rush TD's beween them), and lost the recently-released Dallas Cowboy, Ed Wesley.
• The Frogs defense had a bit of a down year in 2011, by their lofty standards, finishing 28th in scoring defense, 25th in rush defense, and 60th in pass defense. From that unit, they lost TWO-time MWC Defensive Player of the Year Tank Carder, as well as the majority of the secondary. They will bring back 1st Team All Conference DE Stanley Maponga and 2nd Team All Conference LB Kelly Cain, who led the team in tackles. The Frogs were actually in a nice position to replace Carder with 2010 leading tackler Tanner Brock, but the Fort Worth PD said otherwise.

  Does the NFL have a limit on armbands?

  Special teams took a substantial hit, losing MWC Speacial Teams Player of the Year Greg McCoy, as well as the long-time kicker/punter combo of Ross Evans and Anson Kelton.

As of 8/22, Sportsbook.com has TCU down for 7.5 wins. The public likes the Frogs, as the over is only paying -170, with the under giving +140. One could even conceivably make the case that each game gets progressively harder throughout the entire season. If everyone stays healthy, and given each opponent's opening game rosters and outlooks, we can have some fun getting some early line estimates on the record. It should be noted that over the last four years, including bowls, TCU has only been an underdog FOUR times, while they could be dogs at least that many times this year alone.

Sept. 8th - Grambling St at TCU (-42)
The Frogs will debut a fancy, new $164 million renovated stadium against a Tigers team that went 8-4 in 2011, including a 35-7 loss to their only FBS opponent, Louisiana-Monroe.

Dial Gold Is the Biggest Chump Going in the Bar Soap Game

Arguably the biggest marital mixed blessing is the Mrs. handling the shopping. Yea you get to stay at home and watch the game, but then all week you're stuck like a sucker with Greek yogurt, flimsy tortillas, and your Grandma's bath soap. Nothing like blindly opening a fat ten-pack of Dial Golds pre-shower, only to come out on the other end feeling and smelling like you've been molested by an angry herd of cane-wielding seniors.

There's only three bar soaps any bro can seriously consider, and I don't include the douchey, tarted-up spray, gel, and scrub harlots of the bathroom aisle. Anything else and you're the no-confidence loser trying to ignore the office snickering behind your unclean back.

1. Dove Cool Moisture with cucumber and green tea scent
Changing the soap scene one lather at a time. One wash and your winning the rest of the day. When some hot piece slides up next to you and gets that faint whisper of that cool combo, it's go time.

2. Irish Spring Icy Blast
The Irish may have tried to push some gimmicky soaps over the years, but they got one right with the Icy Blast. Couples the instant burst to lead off with the power to clean-up every night of the week.

3. Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh
Another heavy hitter in the Dove line-up. Not gonna surprise anybody with the flash or character of the young guns, but it's gonna go out and give you a consistent, solid performance without complaint.

Jason Aldean's Dallas Concert Sells Out in Minutes, Slowly Forcing Normal People to Care

PEGASUS NEWS - So apparently enough skoal-dipping, jorts-wearing simpletons have sold out Starplex or Smirnoff or whatever for a concert with four people I know nothing about. Seems like they coulda saved everybody a lot of trouble and found an empty field in Ellis County for it though. Anyway, I thought it might be time to see what all the fuss is about, only to discover that the headliner sounds like Larry the Cable Guy started a music career while three of his first six songs on iTunes stereotypically include dirt roads, tattoos, and tractors in their f'ing titles. There used to be a day when respected redneck artists would at least try to hide their white trash language with safe, generic names like "On the Road Again" or "Workin' Man Blues." The opener, Dee Jay Silver, does at least sound like some fatherless East Texas runaway whose G-string I would stuff a $20 into, so there's that.

Mike Modano Divorces Willa Ford, Retires to Stud Like a True Professional

Like they always say, someone somewhere is tired of hittin' that. Gotta hand it to the great #9 though, single and ready to mingle just when retired life really kicks in. When one game ends another begins. Play on, playa.

WWCD Field Trip: Time to Remind the Interns Who Runs This Joint

So I know the posting has been a little slow around here this week, but the intern ineptitude has really been hitting a tipping point. Cold coffee, stale local news leads, unmotivated sexual quid pro quo.... the whole deal. So, nothing like a staff trip to the gun range to put a little fear into these entitled hipsters. If the smoke and flying bullet casings aren't enough to get'em on the edge of their seats, rapid-firing a full magazine from an unsympathetic AR-15 through the head of a acne-scarred Greg Popovich poster can really inspire the troops. Just the morning after, a busty marketing major with a penchant for raw power and a trained assassin's wit greeted me with a steaming latte and a hearty handjob, just like the good ol' days. Mission accomplished, and all without having to flash the Glock .45 from the hidden desk compartment.
