Sam Gado prescribes nine wins to cure what ails us
Jun 5, 2007 Boobies, Fred Weary is dirty, Gary Kubiak, Jacoby Jones is unheralded, Offensive (punch)Line, Preview, Samkon Gado cured cancer
This morning, I offer three nuggets of Texans corn wedged into the turd that is the internet.
Samkon Gado is going to miss some practices to finish studying for the MCAT. In a league where some people can’t spell MCAT, Gado has not given up on his goal of becoming Dr. Sam, MD.
Gado missed a handful of the workouts last month but is back in Houston and has returned to practice. He’ll take the test July 15.Kubiak wasn’t worried about Gado missing the time for such a good reason. “He’s an impressive human being,” Kubiak said. “He’s got his stuff together, and he’ll be fine.”
He first took the test two years ago but decided to take it again to try to improve his score before applying to medical school. He enrolled in a class in South Carolina.
This is cool. I have nothing much to add to it, I guess, but it is still cool. Good luck, Sammy-kon.
Fred Weary may be under investigation for beating someone down in a nightclub and for allegedly going all Ike Turner on his wife, but Kubiak does not seem overly interested in the hub-bub. Kubes said the whole thing was a” family matter.” Whatever. What interested me about this article was this line:
Weary has not been charged with the incident that erupted last week at a Houston swingers club. (emphasis added)
“Hi, my wife and I were looking at you and we wondered if you would like to join me? She would like to meet your husband, too. [Fred walks in, buck naked] OH GOOD GOD, WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!?! [woman faints, man weeps]“
Finally, in a move that has to make one wonder how sold the staff is on Kevin Walters, the team is auditioning Kennan McCardell today. Granted, KMc has not cracked 1000 yards since 2003. Also granted, he is 37. However, unlike a certain act of desperation on the part of a certain Tennessee-based NFL team, this move makes some sense. You bring in McCardell, see if he still has enough straight-line speed to stretch the field and make life easier for Andre, and then you decide if he is worth signing at his asking price. There is none of the Keyshawn “I’m still the greatest, I ain’t playing for less than ONE BILLION DOLLARS” situation involved here, at least that I can see. I may not be thrilled about the move–remember, I am still in JJ’s camp–but I can see the motivation behind it.

For what it’s worth, Zack Weigart was a frequent guest at my restaurant on Sundays last year (he took his father in after the games, and on at least two occasions brought Sage Rosenfels and the rest of the OL along. David Carr has been in once — with his wife. Take from that what you will). Zack was kind enough to inform me that Sam Gado is regularly outrun by half the OL, including himself and he’s mid 30’s with a bum knee.

That’s quite possibly the funniest visual I’ve had in the last week. Thanks!
(Seriously, though, if Gado is that “fast,” how did he pile up those few good games in Green Bay? I have no explanation.)
BTW–Your restaurant? Email me with the info!
