LATEST STORIES FROM DGDB&D
Sellin’ Out
A couple of quick personal items.
1. A couple of months ago, some dude asked if I would be willing to be a feature columnist for the Texans over at Bleacher Report. I figured, “what the ****” so I’ve been doing that for a while. I didn’t link the two, because Matt and I discussed it [...]

It turns out that the NFL ******* me was the highlight of my Sunday
According to Google Maps, my house is 161 miles from Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, but only 154 miles from Dolphin Stadium in Miami. Yet, for some reason, the NFL has declared our town as Jacksonville territory as far as television rights are concerned—this despite the fact that every year a petition is signed by [...]

****
What to say?
I continue to cycle through the gamut of emotions, and I still don’t fully know what to make of that game. I’m not going to react with something like “Kris Brown needs to be fired on the spot” or “Kubiak should be gone” or “We really should have drafted VY”, so let me [...]

Veeek!
I know I’m a little late on this, but the Texans activated Arian Foster from the practice squad.
On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be much to this other than perhaps another way to shake up a struggling running game, but when one digs deeper, one finds that there is really not much to this [...]

Like Sands through the hourglass…
The Texans didn’t play this past weekend and I essentially had my bye week as well.
The wife and I flew up to New York to visit some friends, do some touristy type ****, and eat and drink to dangerous levels.
I pretty much ignored football for the weekend and when I got back on Sunday and [...]

KICKOFF:EAT MY STATS AND ASSORTED RUMBLING’S
Most Texans fans can take the week off because of the bye. We, however, have another seven games to go and some stats to look back on. You can look at these like Pepto-Bismol!? Either you digest it and feel good about the direction of the team, or you’d rather crap your britches then look [...]

Don’t Fruit the Beer!
Building on socctty’s comments from this post (and aided by the fact that he says he “really hate[s] it when people look forward like this”), let’s look forward at the remainder of the season for the Texans.
We’re sitting here at the much deserved bye week at 5-4—a record from which we could just as easily [...]

KICKOFF: The fumble heard around the oil can
Much has been made of the Texans’ decision to allow the clock to run down to the two-minute warning in the first half. On the previous play, Ryan Moats appeared to have fumbled out of bounds at the Colts 1 yard line. After the two-minute warning period, the Colts challenged the play, and the ruling [...]

It’s just like David and Goliath, only this time, David won!
Looks like the U’s will be down a few dudes when we travel up north this weekend.
For the record, I’m not one of those guys who feels cheated when we don’t get a chance to play another team full strength. You know the dudes I’m talking about. The dudes who say **** like, “damn, I [...]

KICKOFF:”Biggest game of our life?” Edition
“We have the Colts next week on the road and that is going to be the biggest game of our life.” – Andre Johnson
So claims AJ after the Texans disposed of the Bills. The donkeys are riding high with the only unbeaten record in the AFC and the Texans coming to town with their [...]

Mutha ****, mutha ****
ESPN and the Chron are reporting that OD is out for the season. No confirmation from the mothership yet.
I was currently drafting a post on what the team should do after the season regarding OD, who will be an RFA, and Kevin Walter who will be a UFA, and I was thinking that the decision [...]

KICKOFF: Hot poker in the eye edition
Pete Prisco went looking for a “me-me!” guy in QB Matt Schaub. What he found was a guy who really believes there’s no “I” in team.
Matt Schaub is showing his “stones,” both home and away. Just think: we could of had VY and gone from fetal to fecal.
Yahoo sports has a segment on whether the [...]

KICKOFF:Leg hugs to Matt
Congratulations are in order for our very own Matt! According to his Facebook account (ed. note: the ultimate source), upon leaving his job yesterday and wishing his (former) co-workers well (”**** you, **** you, I like you, and **** you!”), Matt is changing his employment address. No word yet if it entails taking pictures of [...]

KICKOFF: “testing..testing..1-2-3!?”
“Friends, Texans, countrymen…”
The last “Kickoff” was to bury this blog and not to praise it (or some such ****). However, time to broadcast the news and reclaim the cutting edge of news and notes, kickoffs, and random articles about the Texans.
No one can argue that Matt Schaub is not being recognized as a pretty damn [...]

With Apologies to Arrested Development
Tennessee
by: A random BESF fan
Lord, this team is such a mess
Three-and-out, losin’ ground
Though I still pretend I’m Klan
Truth is, I mainly blame whites for this ****
Kerry Collins keeps messin’ up
I liked him much better as a racist drunk
Where did that great role model go?
Sobriety sure has made him dull
’08 is passed, ’09 is blown
Haven’t felt [...]

Peyton Manning Photoshop Contest
Last night, while Matt and I were getting ready for our weekly S&M session, and just before he slipped the ball-gag over my mouth, I mentioned that I thought a Peyton Manning photoshop contest would be fun. I sez to Matt, I sez: “Matt? Honeybuns? I bet we can up our classlessness 1000% by having [...]

More pimpery
If you look to your right, you’ll notice new binocular-themed ads (which, irritatingly, I can’t get to line up correctly). This is not by accident. Click them, won’t you?
[God, I feel dirty doing stuff like this.]

What’s gonna work? Teamwork! What’s gonna work? Teamwork!
The wife and I are heading off for a 100%-kid-free overnight stay full of drunken debauchery in Memphis. I mention this primarily to spite BFD, but also as an excuse to bust out these housekeeping points in list form. (Ah, lists — the crutch of every lazy blogger since 2001.)
1. Considering I’ve not been his [...]

Shake meets Global Warming
So, apparently, when you take a new job that, as it turns out, sucks out your very will to live from the instant you start and makes you regret any number of life decisions, one of the side effects is that you have less interest/time/ability to think about things like “blogs” and “football” and “not [...]

I generally end up watching football by myself on Sundays. This is because where I live everyone wants to watch the Dolphins or Bucs, and my wife would rather stab herself repeatededly than watch fooball.
Add that to the fact that I haven’t written much lately due to the fact that I can’t say no to [...]

A post wherein I pimp a contest sponsored by the company that both makes and destroys my Sundays.
[Ed. note: We were approached and asked if we'd run this ad for DirecTV. Because I consider Sunday Ticket the best thing to happen to TV since colorization, I couldn't say no. So it will run every now and then for a few weeks. Enjoy. And sign up for it if you qualify.]

******* ****
I’m still angry. I tried to write about this Sunday night, but was too ******* pissed off, so I decided to wait a day. Yesterday, I was still furious, so I held off again.
Today, I realized that this isn’t going away, so I’m just going to rant.
I agree with socctty in a macro sense, in [...]

Quick Reax
The play-calling on 3rd-and-goal and 4th-and-goal at the end of the game were great, despite what the loud-mouthed moron standing next to me at the Pasadena Buffalo Wild Wings thought. (”Ohhh! What a BRILLIANT offensive mind we’ve got in Kubiak!” Baby Shan makes the play calls now, genius.)
The problem was execution. Schaub’s pass sailed a [...]
