In celebration of Thanksgiving, give thanks for Andre Johnson

In honor of Thanksgiving, a wine company asked me to do a guest post on who or what I wanted to give thanks to in sport. I chose Andre Johnson because he's one of the few bright spots in a sea of Houston sports suckage and fail.
Blog post here in pop-up window: Giving Thanks for Andre Johnson
If I get the most comments on my Andre Johnson blog post, I win a silly prize and bragging rights of being, I don't know, queen of wine or something. (Being the actual queen of wine would be better than a Netflix gift certificate, I think). I don't really care about the prize--I just won't pass up an opportunity to say nice things about AJ to the world at large.
So far, my blog post has two comments, one from Lonespot.. The blogger from NYC has 24 comments in support of Mike Wallace. (Wallace, really? Out of ALL the people/things to thank?) I am hoping that this is not symbolic of the score of Texans-Jets.
If you can help me out some, you don't need to leave a long comment. Just saying "Hail!!" would be sufficient. It asks for your email to deter cheating, but I've been assured they will not spam you. One comment per person counts. If you are a Twitter type person, RTing this also counts as a vote.
If the spirit moves, it wouldn't be bad to leave an actual comment at the blog post. I'd like to see a bunch of Texans commenters talking about their thoughts on him.
I figure y'all appreciate Andre Johnson. And BRBers are certainly prolific commenters. And I will go on to say, if it helps at all, how handsome/beautiful and smart you are online. So I'd appreciate any help you can give on this.

I can’t deny ’Dre (who can), and I love anything that brings good feelings from Texans fans at this point in the season. We need something to cheer for…Andre fits the bill.

Dre is so classy
Sometimes it hurts to see him playing on the Texans

I like Tim's comment
“Andre Johnson is what’s right about America.”
YES!!!!! That’s precisely it.
Now that you’ve written that, I think we need to turn that post into a Chuck Norrisisms sorta blog post because it would be awesome.
You know, like “Superman wears Andre Johnson pajamas.”

I heard Brian Cushing like to do it with girls in a really uncomfortable place and i am not talking about the back seat of a Volkswagen
Go Texans!
Typical bitter Texans fans
You just have to belittle the only source of truth left in the blogosphere. This must all be because you know Duane Brown was cheating in the first game of the season and you’re mad that I can’t stop bringing it up. But it happened! You cheated! We should get our win back!

I hope you win… I know many of us BRBers support alcoholic consumption while talking, viewing, thinking about the Texans lol

“Andre Johnson and Chuck Norris had dinner one night @ the Downtown Aquarium, Each brought in a shark they had caught with their bare hands for the chef to make. Chuck Round house kicked his, Andre went in the water and a shark committed hari kari because giving ones life to Dre is the highest Honor.”
Thanks to all.
I’m a fan of corporations doing more things with blogger type folks. Helps pay the bills for places like BRB and can be a good thing for fans because they want to give us stuff. Speaking of, a Texan fan so totally needs to win these contests to go to the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl. The submissions so far totally blow. I see better stuff tailgating:

You guys are awesome.
We’ve almost caught up to the NYC blogger….AND…
Because there are so many comments coming in and they have to moderate them all, I just got a message they’ve decided to shut down the contest by 4pm central Friday.
So get your comments in. I’m glad Peightun Meninn in #51 weighed in. HA!
- is way too truthy.
it is SBNAtions

Thanks for the answer.
Just checking, it looks like people are putting up comments but they are slow to approve them. So it likely will be a total surprise what the final count is.
You have three more hours to make mischief. I am guessing you are up to it.
It's going to be a very, very close race
Someone else go over there and help put this game out of reach.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Let me summarize this for everyone
I know you don’t drink wine….I know this. But I’m gonna get you to go comment today.
Cuz it’s Friday, you ain’t got no hate your job, and you ain’t got shit to do.

Adrian Johnson makes Kyle Walters, Anthony Foster, Mark Schaub, Jason Jones, Orson Daniels, and Daniel Anderson work harder because he is the best WR this side of Jerry Rice.
MWahahahah

I had to give a nod to the ridiculousness
of no one ever knowing any of our players names… I also did the Chuck Casserly comment!

Andre sticks to ball
His hands stick to the ball so well that he actually gave Spider-Man lessons in how to climb buildings.

Any one going to fess up to being R. Justice?
#60:
Andre Johnson is a great player. He’d be a better player if he went to the University of Texas. And he’d be the best player of all time if Vince Young was throwing the ball to him.
Oh and did I ever tell you that story where Vince Young and I were in a hot tub with Mack Brown listening to Jay-Z on Mack’s iPod?
Ha!!

You guys are great.
I lost the contest but came in a solid second. I had more blog comments but Susan had more RTs—she has more Twitter followers than me.
But we made it sporty, supported a good guy to an audience at large and goofed off during work hours. Thanks for being fun peoples.

You lost?!
Blasphemy! You’re always a winner in our hearts Steph!
