Happy Birthday J.J. Watt

Saint it aint so

With the 1 year suspension of Sean Peyton and GM Mickey Loomis for the first eight regular-season games is the season lost? On top of that the Saints have to pay out 500,000 to the NFL, but is it really all that bad? Let me explain. Now that the saints save 8 million in salary for Sean Peytons non paid vacation maybe now Tom Benson (owner of the saints) can spend the money to get a deal done with Drew Brees If the Saints lose there head coach, GM, and an assistant this year and don't get a deal done with Drew then i would say this is going to be a long season Saints fans. Drew Brees is admit about getting a deal done and not wanting to play under the franchise tag and i don't blame him the last time he did something like that he blew out his shoulder in San Diego. Now if the Saints get the deal done on the other hand and get a few wins early in the season there fans will rally behind the team as they have done before and make the best of a bad situation. At the end of the day they will probably make the playoffs as a wild card and go out in a blaze of glory, but i do think losing two 2nd round picks will hurt them in the foreseeable future. Lets see how long these Saints keep marching.

Broadway Bow

So Tebow is now a New York Jet. Well Rex i hope your happy not are you loosing your locker room and squashed your current QBs confidence by having a bad season and going after manning but now you add Tebow? You may say well Tebow will help in the locker room and build moral for the team but what about when the team goes lets say 1 and 3 to start the season or even just 2 and 2 then what? You must know that every one of your J-E-T-S fans will be clamoring for TE-BOW TE-BOW to come and rescue the franchise and take you to the promise land (pun intended). These Jets are a mess and i don't expect for them to get much better with or without Tebow so why waste a 4th round pick on him when they could of got DeMeco Ryans for the same thing?? The fact of the matter is he would of been better suited to go to the Jaguars and re energize that franchise, all though I'm glad he didn't because we sure don't want that 4th quarter comeback magic happening to us Texans. Now with all that being said its been one heck of an off season and i cant wait for football season!

Enter Chapman

Well Astros fans the team has yet again shipped off another good player trading outfielder Jason Bourgeois and catcher Humberto Quintero to the Kansas City Royals for minor league lefthander Kevin Chapman and a player to be named. Chapman throws strikes and has plenty of potential and this could be a great way to build up the farm system (which is something we haven't done in a looooong time). I hope the Astros gm makes more moves for the future but more in the next 1 to 2 yrs and not this 3 to 4. I am going to do what i suggest you all do as Astros fans and that is wait and see. See you on opening day!

Rockets Recap: 3/20/12 Rockets vs Lakers

Goodbye DeMeco

As you might have herd the Texans traded away DeMeco Ryans away for a 4th round pick and a swap in the 3rd round moving up 11 spots. I think it was a trade to get the team younger and free up space to resign D. Brown and C. Barwin next year so its not a bad move at all, but we will miss these big hits and of course his leadership being a team captin. So from all of us Texans fans id like to say thanks for your hard work and we are sad to see you go.

State Of the Texans

After the signing of Chris Meyers I'm sure all my fellow Texans fans had a big sigh of relief. I'm also aware of the gloaming holes in the offensive line with the departure of Winston and Brisel, but what about this next man up mantra the team stuck with all last year? Did you guys forget the job that Rashad Butler did when Brown was gone for the first four games in 2010 and the 13 games since 09 that Caldwell started in not including the games he has come in as a back up? The line will be fine now that Meyers is once again at the center of it all. All the people I talk to that are worried must have forgotten of as Roger Clemens would say "miss remembered" how the Texans got here and that's by building threw the draft. I'm almost certain they will focus on wide receiver,linebacker, nose tackle, and depth on the line for this draft in that order. And a quick note on Kubiak congratulating Elway on landing Peyton it should be more like thank you for taking him from the Titans and keeping Manning in negotiations long enough they lose out on Mario and Meyers. God must be a Texans fan...or at least not a Titans fan.

Peytons Place is a mile high

    

So now that the Peyton Chase is over Tebow Time has officially started. With Peyton reportedly getting in the neighborhood of 5 years 95 million there just isn't enough room in that town for the both of them. Good move on the part of Elway pursuing Peyton, because he (Peyton) might be the only one who could make the move from Tebow less painful for the hardcore Tebow fans. Now on to the football side of things it was a good move for Peyton because of the good young O line and with the possible addition of Jeff Saturday the transition of the offense would be smooth. Reason number two the defense is going to be even better now that they will be playing with a lead as apposed to coming from behind Miller and Dumervile will pin there ears back and go after the passer all day. This team was one good QB away from making a deep run in the playoffs and now they have one of the best QBs to ever play along with some good offensive weapons a good run game these guys are going to be a tough out in the playoffs.
