Kickoff
Jul 24, 2008 Chris Taylor gets you stoned, Kickoff, Super Mario
Super quick as I have another busy day at the bill-payin’ job and Arkansas still hasn’t entered the Industrial, much less Digital, Age. Mostly, this’ll be a link hurl. (h/t to Eric for his always lovely and much appreciated assistance)
Steve Slaton: Some dude we know wrote a nice article on our newest running back.
USA Today loves them some Mario: Second best defensive end? I can live with that. I still think Jared Allen is a bit erratic, but he deserves the #1 seed until next year. If only Mario wasn’t such a damn bust. Oh, but I do love that Elvin Bethea got some votes on the all-time side.
Bob McNair #7: Michael Silver at Yahoo! ranks the owners, and ours comes in at #7. A winning season or two should have him soaring up that list.
Finally: Am I missing something here?
Yeah, pretty excited about Colvin. Scared about Frenchy. Chris Taylor? Free agent? Chris Taylor??? I think this just shows that the comicle still has an irrational man-crush on Taylor. Yeah, I like the dude, too, but goodness.
Leg hugs to all!

Thanks BFD. I’m just doing my part to save the planet - you know recycling old stories and whatnot.

The Chron put the wrong Chris on the poll. I’m not well versed in leet speak, but something tells me that this would be appropriate time to say teh chron is da suxor…or something?

You added the season schedule! I dig it.
Though I’ma be watching some Raiders games this season to see my boy D-Mac tear up the NFL, your Texans have quickly become the AFC team I like to talk about. Keep up the good work, fellas.
Oh, and of course, GO RAMS.

@bigwood25: I follow suggestions every now and then. Especially when they don’t come from, say, the mother-in-law.

So the weird thing about those owner rankings isn’t where McNair is ranked, but rather that 13 owners are ranked as worse than Bud Adams. Imagine if someone ranked everyone that does your job and they said, “we put you towards the bottom of the list right below the egg McMuffin I just shat out.” I’d feel pretty bad.

@Matt: “I hope your dick falls off” is probably more of a command than a suggestion, really.

@Matt: “Zoom to stadium.”
Nice.
So, Matthew, what’s the wager on this Rams-tie-or-better-the-Texans-win-total bet we have goin’? Truth be told, I expect both teams to be in the 8-10 win range. But I’m “officially” going with Stl (10-6)/Hou (9-7).

@bigwood25: I thought that was the steak dinner wager. Alfred’s out west, most likely. I swear to God, if I don’t win either this bet or my bet(s) with Tman, I am giving up sports gambling for good.

@Matt: I’ll wager that you don’t give up gambling.

@bigwood25: Dude, you’d best start saving your money right now. I’m gonna bet the Rams don’t go better than 7-9, but I love your optimism.

Thanks Stacy, it’s a recycled BRB piece I did post draft. Just cleaned up a little.
