PrintTip o' the cap to grungedave for alerting me that the Texans' 2009 first round draft pick was VERY convincingly (and deservedly) named DROY.
Congratulations from BRB, Mr. Cushing. I knew you'd pan out.

Awesome!
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Excellent
Now if only the Texans can have another USC defensive rookie of the year next year…..
if thats supposed to be Taylor Mays
than we probably wouldnt have Bernard Pollard on our team anymore because they play the same position

From Every Level
Brian deserved it. Most interceptions and passes deflected from a non-defensive back, 5th most tackles among ALL players, and 2 forced fumbles and 5 sacks? The dude was a COMPLETE player – should be in the running for DPOY even if you ask me.
two words
Want another picture of him tackling a Texan? This time he wasn’t playing for them at the time, at least.
Mount Cody in round 1
Probably right
but DeMarcus Ware wouldn’t surprise me.

Sorry you got jobbed.
The bungals laid down like turds. sorry guys.
Thanks, man
And just hope Shanny doesn’t bring Chris Brown in as QB.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Where in San Diego
Do you watch the Texans. I thought I was the only fan out here in SD…I’ve seen like one other. I wear my Slaton jersey (frown).
I play real sports...Not try to be the best at exercising.
North County
I am in Carlsbad. What about you? I usually go to a bar on the cusp of Oceanside and Carlsbad called “Fenway’s”.
Downtown here
I usually hit up a bar called “Redzone” on fifth and C street. Its a pretty nice place. I can’t believe we don’t have a Texans bar out here. They have Steelers, Philly, Green Bay, Pats bars…etc. I know with all of the military we have to have a lot of Houston fans. Might have to hit you up next season.

I'm down
I moved Downtown from Rancho San Diego and used to go to “Pressbox” in Rancho…Pretty nice place. We need to come up with something and round up some of our fans.

When I said "out here" I meant San Diego (not east county lol just in
case there was confusion) Maybe we can make some kind of post before the season and come up with a place to watch games.

Thirded, hated the pick last April
and REALLY glad I was wrong. Completely wrong. Couldn’t have been more wrong. Love the guy now. Plays banged up ALL YEAR LONG. Misses all of camp, barely practices the entire season and is a 1 man wrecking crew on Sundays. I salivate dreaming about how good he can be in 2010 if his body will allow him to get more reps off the field.
It took the Astros 44 years to get to the Series, the Oilers-Texans are due to get to the big dance...Go Texans!!!!!

The crow tastes like burning
Rec’d
I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.
congrats
to Cushing…
He should probably be a top 5 nominee for Defensive PLayer of the year

Not bad
For a guy who’s day job is as a gay porn star villain in a surfer movie.
The Texans.

hmmmm
I’m still not convinced that Cushing doesn’t suck. I mean…….. when he starts jumping on the pile 5 seconds after the play is over to record a cheap tackle like Super Bowl Champion Ray Lewis… maybe he’ll deserve these accolades! Maybe.

maybe...
Cushing just arrived too late to accuse Trent Green of cheapshotting Travis Johnson….
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I'm wrong more that I am right on draft picks
But it feels good to be right about this one.

A request
Please don’t use “rip” and “asshole” in the same sentence. It causes BFD to have PTSD flashbacks to rushing a frat.

Ha Ha
Completely unintentional. As for BFD, he has a mind of his own.

He's only good because
Frank Bush had him in the right place all year long.
He’s a system guy.

Mount Cody in round 1
made me laugh
but only on the inside, like a ninja.

Awesome!
I will be replacing my Mario jersey with 56!
It takes a big man to walk away, but a bigger man to break his freaking jaw!
I did notice
quite a few 31 jerseys in the stands on Sunday.
That was my thought, but then I decided my first and only jersey will be 80.

well if that is the case, then what should I do with my Carr jersey?
/hangs head in shame
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming. GO WYO!!! Beat Fresno in the New Mexico Bowl!!!
No way
Brutally tape Schaub over Carr. Nobody will ever notice.
Just saw your sig. Is there still an all-you-can-eat Taco Bell buffet in Laramie? And why UW?
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

No all you can eat Taco Bell buffet but we do have Taco Tuedays when it is all you can eat tacos for $5 at a local crapy “mexican” restaurant. And I needed a change. Going to Cougar High didnt work out so well for me.

and I was rooting for the Texans to get in this year, you have a good young team that is only getting better
