Kickoff

Sep 4, 2008 2008 Season, Andre Johnson, Athletes who don't stab people, Boobies, DeMeco Ryans, Kickoff, Super Mario, The Schaub Experiment

Recon. Chris gets the skinny on the Steelers from AOL Fanhouse blogger JJ Cooper. Which brings us something that’s always bothered me. Namely, why are some initials ok to use as your everyday name while others aren’t? JJ, BJ, AJ, DJ…what is it about the second J that makes that acceptible?

O captain, my captain, our dreadful offseason is done. Your Houston Texans have elected this year’s team captains.  Mario, DeMeco, Andre, The Schaub, and Kris Brown.  No surprises there, I guess.

The leap.  Marroncito returns to BRB with a question I had not really considered:  which player(s), if he raised his game to very good/great levels, would take the Texans to the doorstep of being a Super Bowl contender?  The most common answer in the comments is Amobi, and I tend to agree, but I can definitely see the argument for Schaub.

Finally.

    And because I loath these bastards (BE-SF) and want to share that with other’s, I give you the latest Bud Adams insult to the people of Houston and the memory of the Oilers:

    And the opening kick of the NFL season takes place in about, oh, 5 hours and 37 minutes!

    (37?? In a row??)

    @Matt Which brings us something that’s always bothered me. Namely, why are some initials ok to use as your everyday name while others aren’t? JJ, BJ, AJ, DJ…what is it about the second J that makes that acceptible?

    Sadly, I lay awake last night contemplating this very issue.

    @Steph: How ’bout SS? That seems quaint enough.
