  1. Just watched it.

    Ironically, round 4 was Gus's best round up until he almost got knocked out.

    I give Gus round 1 and 3 pretty definitively, and Jones 4 and 5 pretty definitively. It just comes down to your impression of the second, and I could see that going either way.

    Now, I heard on twitter that the Doctor wanted to stop the fight after the fourth due to the cut over Jones's eye, but didn't because of the pleadings of Jones and McCarthy. I guess its good that it didn't get stopped, but dubious non-stoppages and dubious decisions are just no bueno.

  2. DeAndre Hopkins went BEAST MODE in the 4th and overtime after that pick 6.  Not sure what we're going to do about that fat mess of a kicker, but Matt Schaub is shutting people up with all this crazy comeback stuff. 

     

    So, yeah, the Texans aren't equipped to come from behind --- not anymore, I guess.

     

    And can Ben Tate have a few more carries?  I'm not asking him to take over for Foster, but maybe something close to equal?

  3.  

     

    37.

     

    Don't know when I started (things were black and yellow before they were green and yellow, right?), but it was mostly about how much I hated the Lakers and how they were not going to make the playoffs (I'm pretty sure that was the Shaq and Kobe days).

     

    Kurtie?

     

     

    Every villian is given three 'come back from the dead' cards to play.

     

    Villain? But I'm such a nice guy.

  4. I love the Rudy T reference, but you have to be a champion to have the heart of one.

     

    I feel bad for Ben Tate, forever second fiddle and he's really damn good.

     

    Does AFC South Champion count?  Can I change my Rudy T quote to "Clutch City?"

  5. Never underestimate the heart of a champion.  Texans win!  Texans' best players stepped up when they needed to and made the plays that changed the game.

     

    Now, as a Texans fan, I'm pretty used to us blowing these types of games.  So I'm going to enjoy the hell out of winning this, even if it's just the Chargers being the Chargers.

  6. Another example was Arkin and Goodman getting held up from the phone. I just thought, just walk through the stupid scene already.

    There was no reason for them to walk through the scene as they were under the impression that the operation was dead. They'd gone out for a drink/food and were wandering back to the office to shut it down, it's not like they were in any rush, hence why they didn't walk through the scene.
    There's a perfectly good reason to walk through the scene: they're academy award winners and it was a shit scene. Fuck it, they're walking through. The only thing unrealistic was how long they waited before they said fuck it.I loved Argo.
  7. Texans sign Brian Cushing to a six year extension ($55.6 million, $21 million guaranteed).

    Not bad for a guy coming of ACL surgery (and known to headbutt opposing players while they're wearing a helmet and he is not).

     

    He'll be awesome.

  8. Stupid NFL schedule.  Texans don't play until 9:20 Monday night.  Latest possible start time.  Hopefully the Chargers give up like 20 special teams touchdowns like they did that one time against the chiefs on the late Monday Night opener a few years ago. 

  9. Its only the preseason, but I love watching the Texans crush the Cowboys!America's team? They're not even Texas's team!

    I haven't the foggiest how that oblong-headed generic stat compiler Matt Schaub inspires confidence in anybody. I mean for as many times as Romo has wet the bed he at least has enough improvisational genius to his game that he could pull wins out of his ass RoboQB androids like Schaub are simply incapable of pulling off.Besides the Texans are barely a notch above the Cowboys since they actually made the playoffs the past couple of seasons. But if they were going to win anything once in the playoffs, they would've by now. It ain't happening for the Texans and it sure ain't happening with a middle aged Schaub at the helm; regardless of how watered down the AFC is compared to the NFC.
    Matt Schaub has the same number of playoff wins as Romo. Schaub led the league in passing in 2009 and threw for 527 yards (second most of all time) against the Lions last year AFTER getting kicked in the junk by Suh.Texans are a run-first team anyway. They'll live and die by their defense and Arian Foster.
