Open Game Day Thread: Houston v. New Orleans

Brb_tiny by Tim on in News

Houston Texans @ New Orleans Saints


Fresh off last week's stirring victory that meant absolutely nothing in the standings, your Houston Texans tangle with the team that was allegedly going to take Mario Williams second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft. Since that time, the Saints have given us a lot of joy; let's hope the Era of Good Feelings continues tonight.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game thoughts, brilliance, and poop jokes in the Comments below. GO TEXANS!

Billy Bob approves of your slingbox

And it’s a colored drink night, as Shiner Black has again made an appearance on my end table.

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go TexanHornStros!

Also...

I was complaining more about my own predicament rather than rubbing it in.

Yay, sports.

did ya see the comments

on the shit play of Vince last night? He was the worst of their three QB’s.

by 1Texan on Aug 16, 2008 5:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah.

My favorite part was how he started 3-3 or something and then chucked 10 straight incompletions.

Yay, sports.

I posted this on Diehards

But it’s too good to miss:
nfl.com:
Vince Young still looks uncomfortable: Young followed up a shaky effort in Week 1 of the preseason with an even more inconsistent outing vs. the Titans, going 4-of-13 for 37 yards. Young just couldn’t find a rhythm, badly over-and-under throwing a number of receivers. He was helped by a couple of dropped interceptions by the Raiders.

Hey I don't have it in front of me now but

There is a malt whiskey trail in Scottland, that would be fun to take with a few (6)guys. If we go in the off season, (and there is a Scotch festival the end of Sept beginning of Oct.) I might be able to scrounge up a few buddy passes to lower the costs a bit for you, and I talked to a guy that took it a couple years ago, and he said they give you 3 finger glasses free of whatever varieties you want to taste. On my way back through Scottland I found some really great ones…I’m talking to some other folks too, so if anyone is really interested, let me know.

by 1Texan on Aug 16, 2008 6:06 PM CDT   0 recs

yep

A friend of mine did this and said it was super cool.

by bigfatdrunk on Aug 16, 2008 6:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

"Scottland"

That’s where I say I’m from when I’m drinking Zima.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

As the first Scot to reply...

I might be interested in this if the dates fell right.

Yay, sports.

would have been nicer if he had folded him in half

by lnewcomer on Aug 16, 2008 7:15 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

haven't listened to him a lot

since he’s only a preseason announcer.

But Spencer Tillman is tough. Not just on Jacoby now. He was going after somebody last week pretty hard too. Not complaining, just noting it.
