Kickoff
Jul 14, 2008 Babyeating-Sisterfuckers, Bud Adams is evil, Inanity, Kickoff
Secret Santa Says You Suck. I’m not going to lie—if I received this as a present, I would assume that the giver of said gift thought I was a total flop at life, that I wasn’t worth the money my job paid me, and/or that I am injury prone. (Seriously, though, the inclusion of Corey Bradford is a nice touch that screams “when we made this, we couldn’t name a third Texan off the top of our collective heads.”) (h/t Eric)
“plays [them] close” = gimme? WTF? I was going to do a big post about this piece and its line about the Texans, but then I realized my entire post boiled down to a simple message: Fuck you, Jason McIntyre. Stick to writing bullshit gossip pieces and leave the analysis to people who actually watch sports. Alternatively, die in a fire.
Bud Adams as Chet is brilliant. Hilarious thread over at TT.com (complete with some whiny BESF fans chiming in) doing [Random Titan] looks like _________. My favorite so far is the Collins as Lumbergh. (h/t Eric)

Also, if you’ll notice, there are no footballs in Bradford or Carrs locker!? So really, the picture makes sense and if you receive one of these gems, you are a loser!

I’m surprised they opted for Bradford over Boselli.

I wouldn’t buy one of those things unless they had Buchanon in there.

I like TBL/Mr. McIntyre… but he does dog on the Rockets/Texans quite a bit.

@grungedave: I was rather ambivalent about TBL until that line. Now he’s on the list.

Is that the gift we give Petey on the day we cut him? Or was this idea already used when the girlfriend-beating KR Mathis got cut in March?

I saw a “high five” figurine at a gift store that had Carr, Bradford and Gaffney. At what point in time was that the future?

Eh, when the Texans are better than 1-11 against the Colts or something, I will crush TBL. His commenters were totally clueless about the team.

I like this TT thread too for its Titans goodness: http://texanstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49015
Especially this:

I am sure that the Texans Talk people would be quite happy if you posted any of their pictures here.

@Matt: Is that Jason McIntyre the guy from New Kids on the Block?

Manning out 4 to 6 weeks with bursa sac knee surgery performed yesterday. May miss preseason.

Colts fans have been so spoiled with a Manning who never gets hurt. I’m guessing that predicting the Texans as a gimme is particularly jinxtastic.

@Steph: His commenters clearly ate paint chips as children. That said, had TBL mentioned the 1-11 record as his “reasoning” behind calling them a gimme, I would have had less to bitch about. I don’t demand blind acceptance of the Kubiak Kool-Aid, but I do demand logical consistency. Saying X always plays Y close; X is a gimme win for Y borders on retarded.

@Steph: Also, I thought about doing a visual greatest hits of Titans bashing, including some stuff from TT. I might bump that up and try to do it by week’s end.

@Matt: Yay yay yay!!!! I must admit that not being able to post those sorts of pictures is the bummer part of doing the corporate blog thingy.
