Kickoff
Jun 26, 2008 2008 Season, Andre Johnson, Dancing With the 'Tards, Kickoff, Preseason 2008, Roster, Super Mario, Tim Bulman
Filed this under BRB > Chron.com. I continued to be blown away with the substance the new BRBers are bringing to the Texans blogosphere. Case in point, marroncito recently did a kick-ass interview with Tim Bulman. I have to be honest–I assumed during the DHC/BFD discussion that Bulman was not long for this team. After reading this piece, however, I REALLY hope I was wrong. (Side note: Has anyone found ANY news anywhere regarding DGDB&D fave Earl Cochran?)
But…wait…where are Bush and Young?!?!? Courtesy of Eric — who must not love me, because he’s never made me cry at work — we get CBSSportsline’s Top 50 players based on last year’s performance. My only quibble with the list is DeMeco not making it (he was an honorable mention), but given that he was sorta hobbled near the end of the year, I suppose I can see it. Maybe. Kinda.
I guess we’re past the point of sneaking up on people. A Yardbarker article listing teams that could be on the verge of a Super Bowl run. Yes, we are on the list. (And there’s a picturing of Mario making Jay Cutler his bitch at the bottom, which is always fun.) Also funny, though the Saints are listed, Reggie Bush is not.
Finally. Welcome back, BFD. Despite what you say, there are many who would claim that I am not even the best blogger on this blog. Like Tim. Tim would totally say that because he’s a smartass.

Guilty as charged. But don’t feel bad, Matt–I’m not the best blogger on my blog either. Both Marroncito and SOLIS put me to shame.

Riding others’ coattails to fame and glory is the American way, right?

Frank Stallone would agree with you.

As would Jeremy Giambi, Ozzie Canseco, and the immortal Don Swayze.

I thought the American way was to do your job real half-assed?

Solid articles you’ve linked here, Mr. Campbell. I was blown away to see Mario listed as one of the top players in that list. Shame on you for not warning us about that. I had to re-read it a couple of times. Great stuff.

@dave
I believe it was Machiavelli who said “Don’t do a job half-assed unless you can make others do it half-assed for you”. That is the American Dream.

Since my link surprised you and my ass doesn’t hurt, I think I’m giving.

I thought it was “Work half assed, but do it in 50 hours a week”
