DGDB&D: a Texans blog.

Somebody needs a hug: As much fun as it is to make fun of Vince Young, noted cheap-shot artist and Teh Schaub killer Albert Haynesworth truly deserves our scorn.  With a h/t to Eric in the last thread, it appears that Haynesworth needs his favorite dolly and a nap after he and the BE-SFs couldn’t agree to terms on a long-term contract.  Instead, he’ll be slapped with the franchise tag.  If you go to the link, you can see him tearing up at the thought.  He’ll be OK, though: he’s gonna go all Cruella Di Vil on a bag full of puppies to make him feel better.

More man-crush coverage: Stealing this link from Jordan, the league’s version of an aneroxic Methuselah, Al Davis, couldn’t reach terms on a long-term contract with Nnamdi Asomugha.  A year is a long way from now, about a year, in fact, but since we drafted Antwaun Molden and signed Frenchy Reeves, I don’t think we’ll focus on CB next year.  Oh well, but here’s hoping our CBs make the decision easy.  As with Haynesworth, Asomugha gets the franchise tag.

9-7?: Tim at BRB takes his first shot at the season and comes up with a 9-7 season.  Personally, I like BigBlueShoe’s prediction of a 10-11 season.  Heh.

Vince Young != MVP, Cy Young, and Lady Byng all wrapped up into one neat little package: The 9-7 discussion led Chris to do a little look-back at a BE-SF prediction.  No pollyannas were found.

The X Factor Cometh: Temporarily breaking the Comicle moratorium, Xavier Adibi signed a four-year deal.  Finally, is it me or are some of the commenters at the chron, well, special?  This person, with his in-depth analysis, is likely to be hired by the chron soon: “CaptainHook wrote: He’s going to suck!!!!”  Hard hitting news you can trust.

Anyway, great news for the team getting him inked.

I rarely do the whole “link to another story” post, but this is an exception.  Check out SOLIS’ post on Xavier Adibi over at BRB.  And then allow me to reiterate that he is, by far, my favorite player we took in this draft.
