Time to review what happened today and look ahead to the weekend:
Fight Club: It’s about time someone came to the defense of Henry Allen, the Washington Post newspaper editor who punch a colleague in the face earlier this week. Rex Nelson over at his Southern Fried blog does so today. Like Mr. Nelson, I’m not an advocate for punching folks, although every man has his limits. Mr. Allen reached his. It may cost him his job.
Radio Talk: Arkansas Sunday Edition with Blake Rutherford welcomes Jason Tolbert of The Tolbert Report this week to the program. Sunday. 7 to 9 am. 103.7 FM or listen live online.
Social Media Geek Fest: SWIM is making a comeback after a month-long hiatus.
Doughnut: Little Rock Central’s football season ended last night with a drubbing by Bryant. 0-20 in the last two seasons. Ouch. My reflections on playing for Central coach Bernie Cox.
Oscar!: I need to catch up on my movies. “Bright Star,” “Men Who Stare at Goats,” “Paris,” “Capitalism: A Love Story,” “Amelia,” and “Coco Before Chanel” are in town. And I’m strangely intrigued by “The Box.”
Best Football in Arkansas: It’s the Battle of the Ravine in Arkadelphia tomorrow. One of the most interesting football rivalries in the country between Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State. Players and coaches walk to the opposing team’s stadium. The cops halt traffic. Seriously.
Heartbreak: The Arkansas Razorbacks play South Carolina in a game that keeps a Cotton Bowl bid alive. I’m amped up for it which means the Hogs will get beat. An 11:21 kick off is hardly enough time for me to dive in the sauce.
Watch: Best video of the day. Second best video of the day.
Slither: Snakes are back in the Clinton Center park. Ha, but I mean that literally.
Czeck Mate: The uber-hilarious local blogger @angryceck has some Twitter friends: @happyczeck and @velvetczeck.
Lincoln or Bust, Dawg: Little Rock locals Chad Pekron (@chadpekron) and James Roberts (@jimmyg20) will be in the stands when Nebraska and Oklahoma play tomorrow. Because Nebraska’s where I’d want to go if I had a long weekend to travel.
I’m out. Enjoy your weekend.
