Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Inspired Reminder: Community Guidelines

Every so often, it's necessary to reiterate the guidelines here at BRB. They're short and simple, but people sometimes forget them. Thus, memories refreshed for every commenter:

No personal attacks. Treat one another with a modicum of courtesy. No questioning whether someone is sane, requires medication, engages in oral copulation, comes from illegitimate stock, etc. No insulting visitors. In short, keep it above the belt.

Criticize a point of view on the Texans expressed in a post or comment or all you want, but do it without putting the person down. We're all entitled to our opinions, and we're all entitled to express those opinions without being subjected to hateful comments. I'm not going to referee, and we're going to keep the level of discussion above petty name-calling. It doesn't add anything to the conversation, and it stops now.

The next step is for me to start deleting comments; the step after that is banning users. In the two and a half years BRB has been around, I've never banned a user, and I continue to hope that I won't have to start doing it.

Play nice, for chrissakes. None of us is eight years old, and this isn't a playground. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

sad...

That we even need to be told this, but it is what it is.

My bad

I thought, with all the BESF explanations and F-Bombs being used throughout this blog, use of organic words was tolerable and even encouraged. You know I was only kidding, right?

It will happen

Sure, we know you were only kidding. The Titan community is like a relative to us. And we love our relatives.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

there is no "I" in "team"...but there is a "me"

Brown did look great and Moats carried Slaton's lunchpail pretty good, too!

The D was not showing all the pressure we are expecting, but I think that is because they DON’T want to show it. Barwin had a nice sack and I would liken it to a sort of reversal of the Buchanan “ole” move a few years ago when we waved in Willie Parker. Albert, the Chiefs left tackle, who if memory serves me correct was a 1st rounder last year, has been rumored to be a bust if he doesn’t show up this year. He definitely waved Barwin in and the speedy, yet undersized DE took advantage of the clear runway and flew in untouched. It was a sweet moment, but that will serve notice to future opponents that they have to block the guy or else.

It will happen

You've never banned anyone? WOW

I think we’re up to around 15 or 20 now. But most of those were Lakers fans, so what are you going to do…

Not Yet

I’ve come close a couple of times, but no bans yet.

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