Olivia.. Damn your fine.... I love fishing.. can I go too?? I'll let you use my favorite pole... hehehe
Daddio... I think DED (PIT) and the Cowgirl lovers are gunna have to endure a little abuse --all in good spirits though.. For the first time ever, we can now
legitimately talk shit to just about anybody as Texans fans. I say its loooong overdue so take it in stride and enjoy it!
I made a business call to Philly the other day and was asked out of the blue, "so your a Cowboys fan eh?" I replied, "What?? Oh come on now!, I told you I was from Houston. You know, the Cowboys may be the biggest team in Texas but definitely not the best by a long shot." We both got a kick out of reaming the choking girls (as they play in the same division as his Eagles). I also added, "I'll be right there with you rootin for the Eagles to take the division, now that you got our Meeco and NY's Justin Tuck tried to steal Fosters' signature Touch Down move (the Namaste) in the SB." Anyway, nice little unexpected NFL chat. Its all so nice to see loads of Texans' gear make its way to the front shelves in stores and Cowboys' gear hidden amongst the rejects and picked overs. If we win a tittle before the Cowboys can make the playoffs, maybe the Cowboy gear will disappear off the H-Town racks all together.
49ers 4:1 odds to win the SB?? I think that's a bit of a stretch. However, they got the best of the Saints in the playoffs and the NFC is less competitive than the mighty AFC. So I agree they are one of the Favs to get as far. Especially with my dismantled Saints fading out of the picture.
However, the NFC has many teams on the brink though. CAR, PHL, ARZ, DAL, and CHI, IMHO are dangerous mediocre teams to watch out for. The Lions, I believe are the most volatile of the group. Playing in the same division as the heavily favored Pack, will keep them on edge every week. Detroit has emerged to be a decent team and with they pieces they have in place and a lesser learning curve, they will be able to now focus on perfection. Next to the Pack and the 49ers, I'd give the Lions a slight edge over the Eagles.
To further clear up the confusion over
Schaub's readiness, His doctors, gave him the green light to suit up (pads and all) to take the field. The question of whether he will be ready for training camp or not is tossed out the window. Clearing him weeks before training camp sends a clear message. He is fully recovered and he is ready NOW! Its time to give the man the football and start dangling his future on a string in front of him.
Dre, however, is still expected to be ready at the start of training camp but no word yet. As I understand it, Dre getting his knee scoped was just to clean up scar tissue and drain some fluid. It was a non essential procedure to prevent what could have become a nagging problem throughout the year. The biggest downside is recovery time. That being him having to rebuild muscle/strength in his legs from the lack of use during the healing process, not so much the surgery itself. In his case, the sooner, the better. After getting back 100% physically, there's that mental aspect that takes a little more time not to "think" about it anymore. If all that is worked out in training camp. We're in good shape. Hell, maybe Foster can recruit Dre for some of his yoga workouts. Really though. Yoga may be underrated in the NFL where speed and bulk is king. However, also mastering balance and flexibly could pay dividends on the field at a such a skilled position and help prevent those muscle injuries.
BTW, Satin, I was just reminiscing on your 1st post starting this monumental thread because guess what Fed Ex brought me today...
A welcome letter barring the signature of a billionaire, a full size autograph-ready football commemorating the 10th year anniversary and the 2011 divisional title clinch...some other cool shit including some MOTHERFUCKING SEASON TICKETS....SuhWEEEEEET!! And I must say they're beautiful..... Friday the 13th? Bad Luck? MY ASS!!... Fuck that! Its the best day I've had in a pretty long while. Hell, got me thinking of remixing Geto Boys old classic
"Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster" into
"DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A TEXAN!!" ha ha haaaa......
LET'S GOOOO!!!
