Kickoff — “It’s Still Raining Here And I Don’t Think It’s Stopping Anytime Soon” Edition
Sep 3, 2008 2008 Season, Fuck you Gustav, Ha ha... you like the Lions, Kickoff, Preview, Teams that aren't the Texans
Not-So-Hugene. I am linking to this via BRB, just so I don’t have to feel dirty for linking to Pancakes, but the message is the same: the release of Brandon Frye was, apparently, made to create room to sign Eugene Wilson (most recently of the Steelers and formerly of the No-Good Cheaterpantses). To further borrow from Tim, the idea of a CB corps of The Fred, The Project, Petey, and Petey Redux scares me shitless. So, while this isn’t exactly a shrewd move, it’s probably the smartest play available at this late date. (Also, this continues that trend we seemed to start late last year of picking up the most recently-released player from our next opponent.)
I still say we can win this game. The mothership has the scouting report on the Steelers. The good news for us? The Steelers line is still awful and their secondary (other than Polamalu) is suspect. The bad news? The have a lot of offensive weapons and Limas Sweed is probably having wet dreams about matching up with Faggins in the nickel. Damn. (h/t Eric)
Well, this pretty much guarantees he won’t play in Houston. Apparently—and, remember, this is coming from professional assbag, Mike Florio, so take it with a fucking hunk of salt—Tatum Bell attempted to steal Rudi Johnson’s bags while the latter was visiting with the team. If true, this is beyond hilarious. Johnson shows up, Bell realizes he’s being shown the door, so he grabs Rudi’s shit and tries to get a female friend to keep the stuff for him. Fantastic! (h/t stacy)
Finally. If the season is here, that can only mean one thing—Intertex is back with Texans YouTube videos. Up first, a look at our 2008 opponents.
