Ok, so I am bored. We have no football for a bit, and I want to have a contest. This one is for the ladies. But fellas listen closely. I am having a photo contest with female fans of the sport. It doesn't have to be just Texan fan ladies, (though we all know they are the best looking) I am not asking for nudes or anything that will make women uncomfortable. Just pictures of women wearing their fan gear. I am not discouraging sultry pictures but not demanding them. I will be having a bracket style vote, I haven't decided on whether to have it just on my tumblr or both there and here (though the no bewbs rule kinda discourages voting here lol) All I ask is if you know someone who would be interested lead them to this link. http://tmblr.co/Z5vqEwIegkZ2 the winner of this contest will get a free jersey of their choice.

Ok, so I have mulled over it, slept on it, and even sat down with a trusted adviser about it. As a 10 yr Texans fan, a 28 yr Football fan, Yesterdays game pisses me the eff off! I don't have the liberty of going back and watching the game. I don't know if I could sit through it one more time. I was IRATE throughout the second half. And you know what I didnt see it much as players not performing (though there was some of that which I will get to later).
So follow me for why my mind exploded after the jump

So as with the off-season where I am bored waiting for the first game of the season, bye weeks make me want to hurry up and get through the weeks where we have no Houston Texans Football. With the sad news that Matt Schaub is out for an unknown amount of time and everyone down, but I created something to get you guys my brothers in steel blue upbeat about the weapons we have on our team. The first song is Red White and that Blue by Dre Ladon. The Second Song is I Run by Houston Native Slim Thug. The Final Song is by Lupe Fiasco. All the clips are from this season prior to the Bye. Dre Ladon gave me permission to use his song. In the comments lemme know what you think of the video, leave comments on youtube as well. Oh BTW I believe the Matt Leinart coming out party is set for the Jax game on the 27th. you can hit me up on twitter or email me @ texasmp83@yahoo.com

So as many of you know, I am making my annual trip to Texas next week for thanksgiving. I refuse to celebrate the day for political reasons, but it is also my birthday week so I just think of it as a week long bday celebration. Anyway join me after the jump for some fun.

I know it is early in the week, and most of us are still recovering from this past weekend. But, I am starting this now. Your Tampa Bay Bucaneers coming off a tough divisional game gets to host my Houston Texans. This thread is to assist in answering any questions about the Texans you would like. 

Please keep it civil, no personal attacks, and if someone would like go over to Battle Red Blog and start a thread over there. I or one of my cohorts will try to answer any questions, and we will try our best to keep it a friendly conversation. Some light ribbing may occur, and dont take any trolls as a generalized definition of our fan base.

Now I must hit the word count so imma list some of my favorite things. football, Bar B Q, German Beer, Red Heads, History, Texas, Fishing, Hunting. Finally!

EDITED: BUCS FANS HEAD OVER TO BRB give us your answers!

So here we are again another week, another game. This week another expansion team (no matter how much they dont want to admit it) that team from Cleveland is coming to town. The Browns are 2-5 coming into town with Chris OBGYN since Hillis is out, but for this game I am letting Hillis stay. 4QTs of mayhem in the City of Houston. Here we go, jumpity jump to see where we go....

So it has a been a few weeks since the last one. I was starting to miss it. The problem is madden updates rosters on Fridays and the past few weeks for me have been filled with weddings, surgery (on me and my car :(), but I am bringing it back this BATTLE RED weekend.

So follow after the Jump to get play by play action of me playing the Jacksonville Jaguars from my couch.

So another week, another Madden Preview by yours truly. Last week, i was actually starting to smile as I thought that my madden game vs the Saints was coming to fruition. I mean who would have thunk the Texans were making strides against the Saints and actually shutting down Brees. Low and Behold it ended as I thought it would. Saints recorded the W and Houston came home to a 2-1 record. 

But this week is a new week, and we are at home vs. the Steelers who honestly IMO have looked much like a disorganized unit who beats teams they are supposed to, ( Barely i might mark against INDY) and lose to a Real Good team (minus their week against the BE-SFs.) So jump with me for a play by play of my game against that team from philly Pittsburgh.

Ok we had a little mishap over on the Battle Red Blog where somethings were taken out of context, and some were offended. I am over hear to offer an olive branch and fix what has gone awry at my usual haven. So here is my Introduction:

Sorry about the late post. But Madden doesn't upload new rosters till Friday (Which is dumb) and of course I want to play with the complete roster. so here we go again. This time the game is in NO without further ado. Jump to the game

Ok, well since I haven't seen DreKeem do one of these, I will bring it back. Yes I know I should let the computer play itself but that is boring and I like having something to do. So the settings for all games will be with Gameflow on, 6 min qts. accel clock on down to 25 secs. Weather will be random, played on All Pro (due to the difficulty level increase it is fair). Up to the last update rosters in effect. With being able to save video I will try to do a highlight of all major plays. So without further ado Jump to get the game on!

So it is Sunday and I am procrastinating picking up shingles strewn about the back yard from reroofing the house yesterday. But I was thinking about this the other day. My softball team got jerseys and we were asked to pick numbers well my order for 25 never got in so I show up and there is my jersey with the number 34... I told them I refuse to wear it and I need a different number. Jump with me for the rest of the story...

Andre Johnson already is the only Receiver with at least 60 receptions in his first 8 years of playing in the NFL. Now he is close to doing something else Jerry Rice never did. have three consecutive years of  >1500yds

Currently Andre is sitting at 1018 yds for the season which means he needs 482 more yards in 4 games. I know I know that is quite a bit for 4 games. but it is only 120.5 ypg, and he did have a 6 rec 149 yd game last week in philly. so I hope Arian gets the ball, early that way it makes the ravens cheat and give Andre some nice passes.

Some other comparisons for you between Andre and Jerry. Andre Johnson (though the year is not over yet) has 8966 yds in 8 years is currently 39.2% of Jerry Rice's 20 yr career with 22,895. If you add the 482 to andre's current total he will have 9448 yds in 8 yrs which will be 41.2% of Jerry's career total. in less than half the time Andre has almost half of Jerry's career total.

Andre currently has 658 Receptions and will more than like finish the season with another 30 receptions. Jerry Rice finished his career with 1549 receptions. Andre currently sits at 42.5% of Jerry's reception total but with the added 30 is bumped up to 44.2%

Jerry in his 20 yr career had played for 3 NFL teams. Andre has only had one, so he has 1/3 of the teams of Jerry, and this is something I don't want him to out do Jerry in. Andre deserves to be the first Texan to have his Jersey hung in Reliant and for the number 80 to never be worn by a Texan again.

That is just some food for thought for you Stat nerds and for those Andre Johnson aint as good as Rice and Never will be. He is on track to be as good as Rice if not out do him! Go Texans.

so currently there is no way we can end with  better record than last year. The best we can do is finish the season exactly like last year. Our texans, though still in the hunt will fall short of the playoffs once again. The jags would have to  lose one game (along with losing to us) with the colts losing another game (hopefully divisional just for added umph) four while the texans would need to win four straight. This means the texans would have to do something they haven't done all season win a game on primetime against a team that is on top of the afc north. Is it impossible? No, but seeing as we are the unluckiest team in the nfl and have a defense that couldn't stand against a five a hs team it is as unlikely as me getting christina hendricks to let me practice making babies with her. plus if we beat baltimore then the tits in methopotamia we will probably lose to denver because the broncos want to give tebow a warm up game and he spanks our d as if he was playing a division II ncaa team en route to the national championship. i am already looking towards next season with a hope for defense of any type and competent coaching, barring a lock out.

First of all... I would like to thank you gentlemen for keeping this season interesting. I mean who wants to have a team that dominates every game? That would make watching the Texans quite boring I mean I am a risk taker, and with my blood pressure on a continual fluctuation through three hours on Sundays (and once and a while on Mondays) it is a pure adrenaline rush! But I would like to make a few points.

So for the Giants vs the Texans with Updated Rosters and all Here we go. *Disclaimer: I know it is a video game i have came to the conclusion that if you multiply all the stats by 2 that is approx what the real stats are.

For any of you that travel, through airports ( especially to go see games) this article on yahoo might be interesting. It labels the top 5 and the worst 5 airports in the country.  Guess who ranks numero uno??? Houston. Bush international and Hobby have been ranked the top airports to fly in/out of. This gives me another reason to convince everyone to go to Houston with me to go a)Get shitfaced b)Pick up some sexy Texan girls c) Watch Texans games d) ALL of the above. I just thought i would share that 3 of the worst are East Coast... interesting.... Dallas metro gets no notice in either top/worst 5!

Ok so since the old WC fanpost finally left i decided to rub it in all of your faces how GERMANY is the team to beat... Obviously the Limeys couldn't handle it but at least the showed up a lot better than the Argentina team did this morning... As i have stated before i started to like Soccer when I was living in Germany and watching the FC Kaiserslautern Team, I have to root for Germany. As of right now it is down to Uruguay v. Netherlands, Germany v. Spain. So ladies and gents... I have it as Netherlands vs Germany with Germany taking the cup.... what do you have?

OH YEAH KLOSE!!!!!! I told you mofo's he was a bad ass he is Germany's Andre Johnson!

So most of the regs here already saw the mohawk i had last year for the game... also most of you know that my brother made me cut my hair... just because of his stupid wedding i mean come on wtf is wrong with him?? so in protest i grew my hair out... For those who haven't seen the old hawk here it is...

And this is how my hair was until today.... well almost...

I was just skimming along yahoo when i saw THIS article about the NCAA sanctions on USC... Texans Saints RB Mr. Kardashian Reggie Bust, and Grizzlies G O.J. Mayo as we all know have been the main reason for the NCAA to go lurk through USC's recruitment and player endorsements and other stuff. Well they have finally ruled and man is USC going to be the school to not attend for the next couple of years... The penalties after the jump...

OK... I know there are going to be some that are still butt hurt at Brian Cushing. I am going to say this now. "I don't give a damn!" I have had Cushing's back the entire time. I like him because he brought our Texans D to a new level. He gave Meco someone to pal around with, and contributed so much last season. He even received the honor of Being DEFENSIVE ROOKIE of the YEAR!!!

But that is not what this fanpost is about. I want BRB to help me with a dilemma I having after the jump.
