Kickoff

Running behind today as I attempt to make it possible for me to not show up to work tomorrow at all.

Houston plays Houston?  Huh? Aside from an odd typo (he means “Jacksonville”), this is a pretty good write-up from Scouts, Inc., breaking down the importance of a fast start to the Texans’ season.  Long story short, winning early = better than losing.  Or something like that.

Aw, poop. Osi Umenyiora found Pete Prisco’s article ranking Mario Williams as the 6th best performer from last season to be a tad bit “ridiculous.” Because, you know, being the second-best DE on a team with a disgustingly good line and getting nearly half your sacks against a single, grossly overmatched LT is WAY BETTER than being completely dominant while teamed up with a rookie, two turds, and a DC that is functionally retarded.  (For the record, Mario was a little high on the list, but the real “ridiculous” part was leaving DeMeco off altogether. Die, Prisco.)  Also, federal law prohibits me from mentioning Umenyiora without linking to this.(NSFW)

No Sunchips for you! According to Adam Schefter of NFLN, the Texans are not interested in Cedric Benson.  “That guy?  Fuck him,” said Kubiak.  (This may or may not be an accurate quote.)

    Jacksonville has won five out of their last six home games in September, and the north Florida heat and humidity have proven to be a one of the most underrated home field advantages in the NFL for the Jaguars over recent seasons.

    I thought this quote from the Scouts.com article was interesting. Clearly this guy has never been to Houston.

    So, I finally pick up my Texas Football today, and get all excited to read what’s said about the Texans, and guess who they got to write the article… Pancakes.
    Fuck. Me.

    KSK voters think that Osi would get his dirty ass beaten down by Super Mario:

    @g-dave: What a fucking joke. Do these people not know Osi’s unstoppable poop on the chest maneuver??? Ridiculous.

    At no point in time has Osi been double teamed, much less triple teamed like Mario. So yes, Osi, Mario has the better name and is the better player

    @Vega - Ya, that’s what I saw too, pretty ridiculous thing to say. Jacksonville heat is a dry heat compared to Houston
