The Chronicle‘s sports media guy David Barron posts the following to his blog:
This may sound like a radio station engaging in promotional hype, but KBME (790 AM) talk show host Carl Dukes swears it’s true.
Dukes says that station employees prepared a 50-foot by 75-foot banner reading “Carr Must Go” to be signed by Texans fans who support the contention that the Texans need to replace quarterback David Carr.
Before employees could take to the road with the banner, however, Dukes says someone stole the station van with the banner inside.
“This is like high school, where your mascot gets stolen,” Dukes said. “How do you steal a vehicle that has ‘790 The Sports Animal’ on it and think you’ll get away with it?”
As of today, the vehicle, and the banner, remain at large.
Dukes is kidding, right?
Surely he realizes we’re short hundreds of police officers and crime is soaring. We’ve grown pretty accustomed to brazen crime under MayorWhiteChiefHurtt.
