  1. Hey look, the Raiders are probably going to sign David Carr...

     

    David Carr is the poster child for "careers ruined by bad teams and bad coaching staffs".  Quite possibly the best college QB I've ever seen, goes to Houston and has his career destroyed by having to run for his life on every snap.

     

    This is only semi-true.  David Carr came to the Texans with a virtually non-existent work ethic and a "Stage Dad" that constantly hovered over his son and more or less didn't allow any coaching to stick.  Carr spent more time working on his hair than watching film.  His basic refusal to watch film with the coaches led to the construction of a film room in Carr's house so maybe he'd actually watch film there.  Carr also had bad mechanics (he only threw side-arm) that he never bothered to correct or develop.  

     

    That and, yeah, he was running for his life after the Boselli expansion draft failed; although, that was a package deal: if the Texans took Boselli and his contract, the Jags will leave Gary Walker and Seth Payne unprotected.  So, the Texans got a nothing for the O-line and two of their best defensive players in that draft.  The early year Texans had decent defenses (coached by Vic Fangio, now with the 49ers).  

  2. Kurtie Lawful made his way to Schaub's house, it seems. Seriously though, that's messed up. Damn weirdos. :(

    It wasn't me. As much grief I give Schaub, I can't even begin to understand this. Texans fans are pretty embarrassing; they booed a 12-4 team last year, they leave early, get into fights during tailgates.A lot of the "fans" appeared in the last two years. There's the die hards who've been around since the david Carr days, and then there's the relapsed Vince Young fans.Owen Daniels' injury is a 4-8 week recovery, but he was put on IR to return, so he's out 8 weeks. Might mean Schaub will throw to Hopkins for once.
    I've always heard Houston has more Titans fans than Texans fans. Is this still true?Also, Philly fans never did this to their QB. Holy shit.
    Vince Young is a god in Houston. Houston High School legend, national champion at Texas. Passing over him (rightfully) in the 2006 draft was an unforgivable mistake. Tons of fans chose the Titans over the Texans, especially when the Texans stunk. Its better now, but I'm guessing they'll turn into Colts fans now, since Andrew Luck's dad has Houston ties.

  4. 1. There's no way Kubiak is going to start Matt Schaub again after last week's debacle.  Four games, four pick sixes.  Never been done!  Kubiak is NOT going to start Schaub.

     

    2. I am so mad.  Kubiak just said Matt Schaub is his starting quarterback!  I'm so angry I'm going to burn a jersey.  No, not my JJ Watt one.  Yeah, that old #90. 

     

    3. Well, if only Schaub will fuck up early and they'll have to put Yates or Keenum in early. Maybe if I wish hard enough, Schaub gets stuffed in a locker by Cushing and JJ.  Maybe if I pray hard enough, Schaub will magically get better ...

     

    4.  OH GOD.  Schaub is going to start on Sunday.  F my life.  My entire football season ruined.  Everything sucks.  Turn out the lights, there's no reason to even watch.

     

    5.  Well, I guess I'll go support my Texans ... that's what I do, even if I'm the only one ...

  5. Allegedly, Brian Cushing has stuffed Matt Schaub in a locker so JJ Watt can't murder him.  I think Cushing will blame last week's concussion on why he forgot to let Matt back out.

  6. It was a strange call but then I didn't feel the Niners pass interference on a previous drive was legit either.

    Andre gets the respect there. Plus it was a makeup call for a PI non-call earlier on Dre.Any chance we see TJ Yates in the 2nd half? Knowing Kubiak, no chance.
  7. Matt Schaub rant before the Texans and 49ers:

     

    Matt Schaub has negative mobility, negative arm strength, and negative pressure awareness.  What he does do well is make good decisions with the ball.  Except when he doesn't.  He's due at least one awful throw that's a horrible decision at least once a game.  He's not even that accurate any more; Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels (and DeAndre Hopkins) will catch anything within a three foot radius in their direction.  They've been bailing out Schaub for years.  

     

    I'm just saying, if the best thing about Matt Schaub is that he makes good decisions with the ball except when he makes catastrophically bad decisions to lose you the game, well, maybe he shouldn't be the first option.  

     

    That said, Go Texans!  Beat them 49ers.  Can't wait til Watt puts Kaepernick on his back.

  8. I hate how non-developed the character of Alberto Del Rio is.  

     

    How about a bunch of vignettes for Alberto Del Rio, "The Most Interesting Man in ... Sports Entertainment!"

     

    "He once fought an MMA match in Japan ... while wearing a mask!"

     

    "He has two faces... literally."

     

    "He once started a fight in a bar ... the night before a title defense at Summerslam!"

  9. My wife's take:

     

    Jesse knows where Todd and Jack buried the money.  Or he has some leftover Walt money.  Or Saul money.  He heads back to that rehab with Wynn Duffy and sets up his new life.  He's presumed dead, and he can start over.  When the heat dies down, he heads back to the compound, collects the rest of the money and starts his own rehab somewhere.  And he's got the best damn drug stories anyone's ever heard.

  10. Cloudy with a Chance for Meatballs 2 was fantastic. Took the wife and babies and we were all dying laughing. Even during exposition heavy dialogue, there'd be a sight gag in the background.

    I guess you can say there's an anti-Apple and pro-vegan agenda, but the movie is so cute and harmless you can't complain.

    And the trailer for Rio 2 was excellent, which was unexpected.
