Kickoff
Aug 26, 2008 Kickoff
Sorry, another quickie from me this morning (that’s what she said!).
Wha?: Eric, being the swell guy he is, sent me a link to the Texans Cheerleaders this morning to wake me up. Isn’t that sweet? But what caught my eye was this:
Hobbies: DANCING! I also enjoy any water activities such as boating, tubing, ***snoring*** and swimming.
It takes a real woman to admit that.
Today is Turk Day #1: Eric also digs up this oldie but morbidly goodie as we head into cuts today. As somebody who’s had to escort people off the premises, this isn’t too much fun. But, unfortunately, we’ll be cutting a lot of guys off the roster over the next 4 days.
Feeling the love…: From SI and from FoxSports. I’ve got to admit that I don’t like being a sleeper pick. Not in the least. It just makes me nervous, and the defensive play isn’t helping.
Timothy: Tim over at BRB was on fire yesterday, evidently able to shake off his Zima hangover. First, it’s all about Jacques Reeves (I really hate being right on this one, so far, but I’d love for him to make me look like a moron, too) and then the sad story of Jameel Cook. Think he works in a mall in the off-season?
Man, what a waste of good pot.
Finally: Just because I loves me, Lance Z verifies some of what I’ve seen from Anthony Weaver and “Pies de Melcocha” Colvin, though I think Anthony Maddox has been even worse. I think the first two are gone before Sunday unless something seriously changes.

Your claiming to be “busy” again this AM but, had time to read the bio’s on the Texans cheerleaders?!

Don’t know if your right or left handed but, I’m guessing that arm is pretty stout!? (umm, from leading people off the premises, of course).

“Homer: Good practice, kids. Now it’s time for the easiest part of any coach’s job. The cuts. Although I wasn’t able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Wendell is cut. Rudy is cut. Janey, you’re gone. Steven, I like your hustle
[Steven smiles]
Homer Simpson: … that’s why it was so hard to cut you
[Steven's smile drops]
Homer Simpson: … congratulations, the rest of you made the team!
[random sighs of relief]
Homer Simpson: Except you, you and you.”

@Eric: I’ll be back to posting in another day or two. Consider this the blog version of resting your starters in Week 4 of the preseason.

I read these articles and I wonder if these guys have seen the Texans play, considering how they’re constantly hyping our defense. Then again, it’s probably because I’m a hyper-critical subjective fan and they’re not.

BTW–Snoring underwater sounds dangerous.
