I guess it is Video Day around here

I can’t decide which of the sacks is my favorite. The first was athletic as hell, but the one-handed third was pretty damned cool. Oh well, just sit back and enjoy.

Also, never forget, Will Demps couldn’t catch clap in a whorehouse. I mean that figuratively, of course. Literally…that’s a different tale.

    I have to say, this is one of my favorite clips. However, Mario never hit Cutler with the bonecrushing power we all know he’s saving up for this season. AFC South QB’s are going to suffer his wrath.

    LOVE this clip! The number one - by far - moment of last season IMO was when the crowd chanted Mario’s name during that game. That was a great moment, where everything had finally come together for Mario, and the fans showed him the appreciation for it.

    Mario is my favorite Texan, mainly because I just love how he shut the whole world up and is now on the cusp of being DOMINANT - yet never once did he say “I told you so.” He’s a monster, yet still a class act.

    It’s games like these that make me wonder why the Texans don’t just switch to permanant Battle Red uniforms. Fans love it, and they always seem to kick ass when they put them on. “Blue Steel” was great for Zoolander, but I think Texans fans have had enough of that guy.

    If I remember right, seemed like most people loved the red on red scheme. I couldn’t stand it, and I can’t even say exactly why…they just look like arena leaguers or something in that get-up. But if they always play that well, then red pj’s it is.

    On a side note, that breaking the plane rule might be the dumbest in all of sports.

    Foreshadowing of a possible fake conversation? One of the great MDC´s finest literary devices.

    It was a great night for Mario, that’s for sure. I’ve always thought, however, that Amobi didn’t get the credit he deserved on Mario’s third sack. Mario got the sack because Amobi made the pocket his bitch and Cutler had to step up into Mario. You can see Amobi jumping up and down after the sack, knowing he played a key role in it happening.

    I say this because the thought of the two of them eating the souls of opposing o-lineman for years to come is uhm, not un-erotic. And I’m not ashamed to admit it… on the internet… with a pseudonym.

    How many of those one-armed sacks did Mario have last year? I can think of at least three or four. It’s sick how strong he is.

    Just to repeat - Mario not making the All Pro team last year might be a blessing in disguise. If he get 18+ sacks this year I would not be the least bit surprised.

    meanwhile, can someone please tell Petey to go to the meeting in Cecil Cooper’s office?

    Could we have Petey Faggins choke slam have a meeting with Charley Casserly and kill two birds with one stone?

    @ Andy: I think we both know Petey would blow that assignment and accidentally choke slam himself as he fell harmlessly past Casserly.

    I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that. Nice post! That game was everything you could want as a fan. Mario’s sacks were things of beauty. He even had at least 2 near misses as well

    Eh, i’ve never been a fan of red on red, either. It looks like the Kool-Aid gang is trying to play some football. But if kool-aid equals winning, then i’m all for it. And i don’t know why, but opera mini cuts out embedded video as if you never put it in. I don’t expect to play streamed video mobiley (japan we are most definitely not), but it’s damn disconcerting on some of these posts where it’s nonobvious.

    Like I believe I said during the game: the red on red reminds me of Fresno State. I fucking hate Fresno State. I wonder why?…

    Gentlemen, and I use that term loosely…the Battle Red Jerseys are the color of BLOOD. The same color that will flow freely from all who dare oppose JUGGERNAUT. I, for one, love those muthafuckers.

    As much crap we talk about dempsy, he made a couple of nice plays that night. Now if he was only blessed with better hands than a twelve year old, he would be a heck of a player. Scheffler made a great play on that td though not even gonna lie. And Mario, he’s nothing short of being one of the elite pass rushers in the NFL. But then again everybody knows that already.
