&lt;p&gt;Texans bwahaha. Six losses, no playoffs for the 8th consecutive season.. Need to hire Jerry Jones to consult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just kidding, need to fire Frank Bush really. Enjoy your suckball season Texans fans!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Atl and Phil won, but damn, barely over Wash and Tampa at home? Those teams look like crap. Then again the NFL changes so much week to week who knows what it means. But at least right now those teams look sucky, which is more good news for the Cowboys. But I just wonder if Phil and Atl fans bitch and moan about these games like Cowboys fans do? The fact is in the NFL, you just need to win, look pretty next week. The Cowboys would be screwed without those &quot;ugly&quot; 7-6 &amp;gt;Wash and 26-20&amp;gt; KC wins, that everybody bitched about at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minnesota looks real strong, we're doubtful to get by them in the playoffs one would assume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cant wait for the monday night game, great one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fascinating lines this week, NO by 2 over NE, and I really want see the Dallas-NYG line, what will it be? I dunno. I'm guessing in a +/-3 points range either way, but interested to see the favorite.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OT: The global warming hoax exposed?</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, usually in a global warming argument, generally accepted fundamental tenants even GW opponents accept, is that the world is warming. GW opponents and proponents alike will usually say something like &quot;we all agree the world is warming. What we disagree on is if man is the cause&quot;. But I've been in plenty of these arguments, and I'll always say, frankly, I certainly dont know enough to say if the world is warming or not.&amp;nbsp; I flatly dont accept &quot;scientists&quot; word for it. There's too much money and bias involved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call me a nutjob, but I've never, ever, bought that. I mean, I dont do the data, and quite frankly, I dont trust the &quot;scientists&quot; who do one bit, not one bit. I've already heard evidence that scientists do in fact &quot;adjust&quot; the raw temperature data. Of course then you could get into an argument whether the &quot;adjustments&quot; are legit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways the point of all this, is I dont even know how legit this is, maybe it'll blow over and turn into some fraud, but apparently the email at a major pro global warming &quot;science&quot; center was hacked, and well, lets just say they dont look good, it appears plenty of likely fraud occured. Of course, I'm sure this will all be spun away by the global warming cover up mainstream media machine in the next few days, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. But anyway... link to get you started.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Umps union says no to baseball replay</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079&amp;sid=aCHm7rcEG1ps&quot;&gt;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079&amp;amp;sid=aCHm7rcEG1ps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Blown calls by umpires in Major League Baseball&amp;rsquo;s postseason are part of the game and shouldn&amp;rsquo;t open the door to instant replay, the head of the officials&amp;rsquo; union said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using video to review plays such as tags and whether a ball is fair or foul would interfere with the pace of games and turn umpires into &amp;ldquo;robots,&amp;rdquo; according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Lamell+McMorris&amp;site=wnews&amp;client=wnews&amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;filter=p&amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;sort=date:D:S:d1&quot;&gt;Lamell McMorris&lt;/a&gt;, chief negotiator for the World Umpires Association.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought I'd post this in reply to AJM's little bullcrap post blaming of course, Selig. You know, because Selig is in league with those icky owners, a liberal like AJM can go blaming a labor union of course, it must all be Selig's doing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Mark McGwire, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/players/97/Sammy_Sosa&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Sammy Sosa&lt;/a&gt;, and Raffy Palmerio do steroids and theyre evil, blacklisted, shunned, hated, destroyers of the game, vile scum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Arod and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/players/174/Manny_Ramirez&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Manny Ramirez&lt;/a&gt; do roids, and they're heroes, standing ovations, the media cant pimp Arod in a positive light enough these playoffs can they, it's like watchin them cover Obama.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Food for thought.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind of reminds me how Lindsey Lohan violates her DUI probation and nothing (judge gave her..wait for it...another year of probation to retake the class she was supposed to the first time), while if Mike Vick did it he'd get the chair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also read more about hero Manny here, no wonder this guy is perennially one of AJM's most wanted FA targets, the same AJM who loved criticizing Juan Gone for attitude &lt;a href=&quot;http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10246996/Manny:-I-was-in-the-shower-when-Phils-came-back&quot;&gt;http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10246996/Manny:-I-was-in-the-shower-when-Phils-came-back&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still cant believe how shitty and convoluted this forum software is btw, every other forum on earth is smart enough to automatically hyperlink url's, not this one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty sure George Soros' evil henchmen that run this blogring wrote it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, 70-79 gets Cecil Cooper fired. Pretty sure that type of record his first 3 years earned Ron Washington a lifetime contract didn't it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just more evidence of the dual standard between the clubs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can bet the good 'ol boy Astros wont be hiring any minority replacement, either. I think Obama should investigate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All they wanna talk about is (new OC) Mark Whipple, Mark Whipple, Mark Whipple. Whippleball. Blah blah blah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He looks like the real deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They keep talking him up so much I bet he'll be a head coach by next year..sucks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But these schemes are amazing, this guy is good. And that's with Jacory Harris making some pretty bad decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a surprise, another team makes a major turnaround and becomes good in one year, happens to have a new OC..that never happens..&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OT: Cowboys 09 bandwagon thread</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the media has written off the Cowboys to 9-7 and third place in the division by consensus. Of course we know that's BS. It's about the coordinators and between Garett and crucially, Philips fully taking over the defense the boys are in great shape. I expect about a 7-0 start, 12-4 or better, and a good chance of a Super Bowl winning season. So jump on the bandwagon now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also looking around the league, we see the Texans already replacing the OC, again proving me right. Also expect the Patriots to fall without McDaniel. I read that OC will be a comination of the QB coach and Belichick there. Expect Belichick to be worming new OC's in by midseason should they stagger, because of course everybody knows it's really the OC that matters, especially the Texans and Patriots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking around the league, the losses of excellent D-cords in Balt and NYG will hurt those teams, and IIRC Indy has a new OC that should serve Peyton well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW, I heard Sean Salisbury on Cowboys preseason radio..he was surprisingly less annoying than he was at ESPN.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OT: Houston Texans latest to admit Sharky is right</title>

      <description type="html">


&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I got this football magazine, and it mentions this about the Texans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;In the last week of last season, Kubiak turned over the playcalling to to offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan for the first time. An offense that had been one of the leagues worst in the red zone was four-of -four inside Chicago's 20, including three touchdowns in in a 31-24 victory. The playcalling is Shanahan's baby now&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tell you, I'm shocked, shocked, the Texans would hire yet another young go-getter non-minority offensive coordinator (the first being Kubiak himself), and then turn the reigns over to him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, why would it hurt to leave Kubiak the playcaller? I mean that stuff doesnt matter right? It's all about the draft, isn't it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharky right again. Texans prove it with actions, not words.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe the Texans will be worth a crap this season. In fact probably will. Then AJM can talk about how great their drafts have been, and how Jerry Jones is screwing up the Cowboys because of his terrible drafts..and pretend this whole offensive coordinator change meant nothing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;textBodyBlack&quot;&gt;L'AQUILA, Italy - Strong aftershocks Tuesday sent a fresh wave of fear across earthquake-shattered central Italy, and rescue crews pulled a young woman alive from a collapsed building about 42 hours after the main quake struck the mountainous region. Eleonora Calesini, a 20-year-old student, was found alive in the ruins of the five-story building in central L'Aquila, said her grandfather, Renato Calesini, in the seaside town of Mondaini.&lt;/p&gt;
