A couple of hours ago I was in my car and switched the radio to 790 (a sport's talk-show), and heard them say something like: "Thanks, Steffanie. That's Steffanie Stradley, Texans Chick who [couldn't hear -- somebody talked over it]."

Shoot! I'd have tried to call in. As Skip. (I think "Skippy" would make them suspicious.)

What did we miss, Bix?

Darn! I'm sure she'd have loved to take your call.

I've been doing a regular gig over at SportsRadio 790 on Mondays at 10:50. Basically doing a game recap.

Today they called me to get my thoughts on this topic:

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/ ... ffic-tick/

It's in the news but there aren't too many details in the paper, so I explained what is known publicly, and talked about other cases with similar fact situations.

You know, why would someone at 5PM drive away from getting a speeding ticket when the officer walked somewhere else and get a little less than a mile away?

In my experience, often those situations result from when there is a misunderstanding by the person not knowing that they are supposed to stay there. Like if they thought they were just getting a warning. Or thinking that the police officer left them to go after someone else. (This happened to a friend of mine.)

I only did a call in show once. It did very well.

My typical 10:50 gigs get no callers. Heck I barely get a word in edgewise.

Maybe some HPD officers are closet Titan formerly Oiler fans who can't let go

Good to know. I'll start trying to catch it.

Just read your piece. I wonder what he threw out of the car along that .7 mile stretch.

I doubt anything.

If you are getting a ticket, you get a ticket.

If you are getting arrested, they can do an inventory search of your car to find anything, or even specks of anything.

By most accounts, Chester Pitts is an intelligent, well-spoken guy. Not someone you would expect to get the police chasing after.

If you like it, ask them to have me on for a longer segment or in studio. Email the show.

Sure. I'll be glad to. Just promise me that you won't tell them to block all calls from anybody named Skip.

Something tells me that you wouldn't call him well-spoken if he were white. Kind of like when old Biden called Obama articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.

Wow, where did that come from?

After Fred Weary last year and now Chester Pitts, I am guessing that they will just preemptively arrest the entire Texan O-line next year around mid-seson.

Why delay the inevitable?

It came from me. I'm not completely drunk all the time. And I still have two brain cells to rub together.

I think the Travis County DA and the Harris County DA are gonna make a deal to have the Texans draft the UT offensive line, and do joint prosecution using the resources of both offices.

Sav a lot of time and money, I bet.

I was aware of the source, just surprised at the dig. I don't believe Bix is racist, and I don't think calling someone well-spoken is a bad thing, whatever their skin tone. And rubbing brain cells together can be dangerous around flammables, you know.

Did I ever tell y'all about one of our models who used to push her boobs out to the side and hold them that way, one under each arm?

Everybody was always talking about how she would chest her pitts.


Never mind. I know.

I thought the Honolulu PD was considering doing that to the cast of Lost as well. Save some time.

And then they could write people out of the show for other reasons.

Only the large black gentlemen. So I guess Ephraim Salaam is next.

As for AB's comment, I've said before that right tackle Eric Winston is well spoken too, even though he resembles a (white) caveman. Maybe that makes me anti-cavemanny. Lots of football players aren't the best communicators in the world. Chester Pitts isn't one of those people.

So much for the end of ACs on this MB.

In any event, my speculation given the fact pattern was correct. It turns out that Pitts is claiming it was a misunderstanding. He says that his father has been a police officer for 30 years, and he has a lot of respect for the work that police officers do.

He is just a well spoken thoughtful guy. Not just for a football player, but in general. See for yourself:
