Texans Down 'N Dirty: The Good Guys

by DreKeem on Feb 25, 2010 7:00 AM CST in News

No need to post the news regarding Dunta Robinson. What's done is done. My lasting memory of Robinson will be the embedded videos along with the energy he provided to the crowd and team when he returned from a devastating injury in 2008 against the Lions. Yes, the "Pay Me, Rick" escapade and general douchiness this past off-season does stand out, but I prefer to remember the good times for now.

Ah, who am I kidding? F*** Dunta.

Best wishes to Kubes as he recovers from nose surgery. Unfortunately, he won't be able to participate at the combine, but I can imagine all he's doing these days is watching game tape of potential draftees in his bedroom.

Great story on Mario Williams. Super Mario is one of four players in the entire league who will travel to Asia to meet with U.S. troops. It's great to see stories like this in which players, regardless of monetary income, still support family members and others less fortunate than them, which is what he's doing with his sister-in-law and outside organizations.

Also, great thing the Texans have going on in regards to food contribution. For every sack the Texans managed last season, $1000 was allocated to food for less fortunate people in the Houston area.

My favorite moment

in the first clip is watching Petey block his own teammate while Raiders rain down on Dunta.

I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

Wow...

I’d forgotten just how maddening it was to have Petey on the field. If someone could find a clip of the play against Atlanta in ‘07 when he managed to get a defensive holding AND a pass interference call AND give up the catch, all on the same play, I’d appreciate it.

I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.

Re: Petey

I still say that stands as the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen a Texan do. The rarest of trifectas, if you will.

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

It was so amazing

that if it happened in a video game, you’d turn the game off and think “well that’s just stupid…no way that can happen.”

don't get me wrong, I love Mario, but...

Is it just me or would i prefer Mario to be a tunnel-visioned killing machine.

Nice guys don’t intimidate QBs. Or as KSK’s “Rex Ryan” says, I want Mario to KILL KILL KILL and forget about this charity stuff.

It’s weird now that the Rockets and Texans both seem to have nothing but nice guys on their roster… while the Astros just signed yet another wife-beater (and will finish dead last).
