Kickoff

Why did your mom misspell “Roosevelt?”. The newest Houston Texan will be answering questions sometime today in a video interview on HT.com. You can email questions for the interview by following that link. (h/t Eric)
Variations on a theme. Colvin’s video interview on NFL.com. Worth watching if only for the two hits he puts on Manning. Besides, if his athleticism doesn’t excite you (*cough*Solis*cough*), you have no soul. (h/t Eric…again)
Let’s go camping! Tim mentioned this already, but the team has announced the dates of open practices during training camp and, like always, you can get your tickets at local Wachovia banks beginning July 9. Barring something totally unforeseen (like, say, winning the lottery or killing a rich relative), I shan’t be attending this year. Of course, I didn’t technically attend last year, either. Stop laughing, jerks.

It appears that not only was momma struggled to spell his name right, she’s fussing about him not coming home. He does have family here in two uncles:

Notice also, Indy cut Chad Stanley.

I saw the Stanley bit and thought about posting it, but no need to kick a guy when he’s down…even if he is a Turd-Eating Pederast.

Training camp isn’t all that anyways.
-
So do you have any games that you are coming down for?
-
Oh and the husband got a smoker for his father’s day pressent. Not as nice as your rig, but a pretty tricked up rig otherwise.
-
Oh and in Texans news, a few thoughts:

Not much different than sky is blue, but some people don’t know that stuff.

I do have a soul, damn it. (cue Us3 “Soul Brother”)
-
I don’t doubt that he has awesome film clips from yesteryear Matthew. I’m just wondering if he still has the quicks to get it done in 2008 and beyond.

Solis is pronouced Soleese not Soulless. “I like my life, my life, my life, and the sunshine…”

That satisfyingly-athletic INT in the film was from week 2 of 2008.

@Steph: Most likely scenario is a two-game swing wherein I see MU/UT and then DET/HOU.
-
Where’d you get his smoker?

@Matt - Wha-huh? You lost me.

Unless Colvin is a time-travler… He isn’t… Is he? If he was, I’d change my tune in a heartbeat.

Uh, or 2007. My point was that it wasn’t all that long ago.

Turd-eating pederast is one of my all time favorite nicknames. Glad to see it resurface in a way not related to the Texans.

BBQ Pitts by JJ. I don’t know which one cuz it’s the sort of father’s day gift that the father picks out.
-
He and some buds bought one for a buddy of ours. Our friend makes the best salmon I’ve ever eaten.
-
Detroit-Houston should be a great tailgate. 3PM start.
-
I think Texans fans often have reflexive fear of free agent signings of oldish guys with injury histories. You get kicked in the head enough, you start flinching. My fondness of the deal is all risk-reward: how much did the Texans pay and for how long.

@ Matt - If you’re really down for the Det game, I’ll be there too, shitty tickets, but they get me in the door

And the point of that was that we should hit up a tailgate and/or a bar
