Opinion: Romo is pulling his late fade again
Here's Tony's stop-the-presses moment: He ain't none of them, yet. It wouldn't be Dallas if there wasn't a soap opera involved, which is why Sunday's playoff game against the Giants is only part of the ongoing Cowboys storyline. Romo's much-debated weekend trip to Mexico, where he was photographed by paparazzi while frolicking on the beach with girlfriend Jessica Simpson, stole the headlines Monday and Tuesday. Romo, however, remains unfazed by all the controversy surrounding him. “I know what I needed to get myself in a position to hopefully be successful," Romo said during his normal Wednesday visit with the media. "You know, people asking for tickets, media requests, all these things during the weekend — I was able to put the phone aside and get myself ready and watch some football for two straight days.

Police investigate shooting in Algiers
This comment is in regards to the cover article on the crime issues that face New Orleans. While I thought the article was much needed and covered the frustrations over how to deal with crime in our city, it seems to me that the perspective is flawed. How can you solve the crime facing our beloved city, if you dont face up to the issues of poverty and rebuilding? How can you continue to fault the police department, and the mayor and district attorney, if you cant look your own self in the face, where the extremities of wealth sit next to the woes of poverty (white and black)? How can you talk about these issues when youre city cares more about the tourist dollar and fixing up the warehouse district than putting the money into the rest of the city, that still stands silent with abandoned houses and failing hospitals and infrastructure? While I most definitely believe the police are doing a better job, especially in regards to more community involvement and the beats cop walking the streets, they have to do a better job of getting the news to the people, and that includes this newspaper and mostly the television news that sometimes verges on entertainment rather than covering the news that actually matters.

Give our troops funding, support
We are perceived almost universally as the world's bully--the modern day equivalent to the old USSR Foreign policies and hidden (oil) agendas are the current downfall of this administration. There would be no terrorists in Iraq if we had not invaded Iraq for the hope of cheap oil In the real world, calling our troops illegal, immoral, occupiers, soviets and terrorists is slamming our troops. Some have also presented the alleged conduct of a couple bad apples as the norm for our military as a whole. You guys may as well throw in baby killers. These statements amount to slander because you guys are willfully and knowingly misrepresenting the true reason that they are there with malicious intent. You guys are giving aid and comfort to an enemy during a time of war. It is immoral, unpatriotic, anti-American and amounts to an act of treason.
Richard Roberts issues rebuttal to 35 allegations
Read the latest stories about the ORU lawsuit, examine the lawsuit and other documents and watch slide shows and video.
Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts issued a point-by-point rebuttal Friday to 35 allegations contained in a lawsuit alleging a variety of wrongdoing.
Roberts and his attorney, Frank Hagedorn, released the document to the Tulsa World. It contains responses to allegations contained in two versions of a document allegedly prepared by Stephanie Cantees, the sister of Roberts' wife, Lindsay. The versions were attached to a lawsuit filed by three former professors against Roberts, ORU and other defendants.
Roberts told the World on Friday that he saw some of the Cantees memo about three years ago but other parts of it were not written by her.
