You Still Gotta Live Blog the Houston Texans
First, the Colts had to go back to Baltimore on Sunday, now the former Oilers return to Houston (not to forget the Buzzsaw’s trip to St. Louis). IT’S RELOCATION WEEK! Did Bud Adams take out a full page ad in the sports section to apologize to Houston too? Soon Bud Adams apology revenue will be all there is to keep newspapers afloat. So keep dropping the double deuce on people. FOR JOURNALISM!
No matter how much the Titans want to turn tail and head back to Nashville, Bernard Pollard says YOU STILL GOTTA PLAY THE HOUSTON TEXANS!
Anyway, this is the bastard middle child live blog nudged between Pats-Colts last week and Pats-Saints a week from today. But the Texans are still fighting to stay in the playoff hunt. And Steve Slaton getting the start will have duped enough fantasy owners into playing him again that we will delight in their anguish. The likely Chris Johnson stat line of 180 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries will provide adequate Meastliness. It’s no madcap Detroit-Cleveland game, but it could be fun. But when’s Vince Young gonna hurry up and implode? He doesn’t even have a negative touchdowns to interceptions ratio! What manner of sorcery is this? No better moment to start the shirtless insanity like a prime time game in his hometown.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say tonight’s game will be better than last week’s MNF shit show.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
a game I won’t watch featuring teams I don’t care about? simply awesome. bring on the live-blog.
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Gonna be late for live blog. Hopefully won’t get detention….
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
I’m one of the retards starting Slaton. I need 12 points from him. He can do that right? right? anybody?
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Last MNF football was just a showcase for Vince’s future starting QB gigs, anyway

For any gamblers out there that have money on Tennessee at +4.5, the spread has moved to +3.5 and there’s now a nice middle opportunity if you put down a bet on Houston at -3.5. All you’ll need is for Houston to win by four.

Pats-Saints should be a good one, though. This’ll almost undoubtedly be atrocious, but after the Browns-Lions, you never know.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:12 pm
@ Nene – I need 11 from him in a PPR system. Here’s hoping.
November 23rd, 2009 at 5:40 pm
I’m one of the retards starting Slaton. I need 12 points from him. He can do that right? right? anybody?
I need 17 points from him in one league, and in the other I am going into the game with an 11 point lead and Kris Brown.
Oh, and he has Chris Johnson. How do I look?
/Fucked

How does Zuul inside Bernard Pollard not make an overt threat against Vince Young’s knee ligaments? Such a threat would probably send Young straight to the Michael Beasley Memorial Crazy People Hospital in Houston.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 pm
I was thinking of going ont eh over for this one (48). Any Thoughts?
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 pm
I’m one of the retards starting Slaton. I need 3 points from him. He can do that, right? right? anybody?
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
also starting Slaton
/needs like 35 points
//it’ll happen right? right??
///knew i was losing early yesterday
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Last time they played it was 38-34. So tonight’s game can’t be THAT bad, can it?
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:43 pm
@UU
You actually watched the entire game? Damn, that must have been brutal.
November 23rd, 2009 at 6:50 pm
The “no one cares about the texans” tag cracks me up.
/cares about the Texans

@Trophy Husband: I don’t think betting the over is ever that smart of an idea. Here’s some data to back that up (though it only goes as far as 2000, and scoring patterns might have changed a bit in the last 10 years):

Bud Adams is excited about tonight’s Oilers home game at the Astrodome. He says that Earl Campbell is gonna rush for 200 yards and 3 TDs, and if not Bum Phillips is gonna be fired.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:14 pm
I am also an idiot Slaton starter needing 16 points. Right? Right?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Fuck me, Matt Millen twice in 4 days is murder.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:36 pm
@RWB – Tell me about it…. And how much does ESPN/ABC basically say ‘Fuck you state of Michigan’ by putting that asshat on 3 U of M games this season?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:38 pm
So the Texans play the Titans tonight, so that really means the Chiefs play the Jets…wait..my head hurts
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:00 pm
@Fat Polamalu: Long since got accustomed to hitting the mute button on ESPN college games. I hear ya. Being a Florida State grad, and given the constant knob-polishing of Teabag by these asshats…well, you know.
November 23rd, 2009 at 8:08 pm
This guy, this Andre Johnson, I call him “A Johnson” because he’s a big black beast, just how I like ‘em. Also, it says A. Johnson on the back of his jersey, Jaws.
November 23rd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
well this game already has me yawning and wanting to curb stomp tirico and fuck jaws’s wife while he is forced to watch. perhaps ill turn on some porn.
