Texans Luncheon Guest...who me?

PrintI just had the greatest lunch of my life today. No, i'm not talking about the steak dinner or the chocalate desert. I didn't realize what i got invited to, until i got there. I thought maybe 3 Texans would be there, that were from the practice squad. All 80 Texans got to eat lunch in the same room with me today. I personally sat next to Duane Brown for 2 hours and gave him a BRB earful. Pictures and little more of what i asked him after the jump.
Sorry the pictures suck, but my phone is nothing fancy because i tend to lose them every 2 months and it was all I had.
Duane and his new best friend or he might call me "The Cable Guy"...
Our soon to be new FS, Troy Nolan sitting across the other way
Bob Mcnair giving his speech and Kubes gave a great speech by the way and started it off by saying he gets nervous everytime he has to do that.
Mario Williams was sitting 2 tables over with Dorin Dickerson in between us. Yeah i'm still and was as giddy as school boy peeking under a dress.
I laid into Duane as much as i could with out being too annoying, while showing him the vast knowledge of him and the Texans that a BRB Texan Fan tends to have. I asked him what he thought of Wade Smith and you could tell he liked him and was impressed. I told him i liked Mike Brisel at LG and Caldwell at RG, but he pretty much said they are battling for the RG spot and Caldwell will start. Thats when i muttered Studdard has to go and he fell back in his chair little bit and didn't say anything, but he was agreeing with me, i read the body language. He also said Chris Myers is " The Brain " or " The Mind ", but says he definately calls the shots you could tell he had high respect for him. He said centers are usually the smallest....I brought up the Kris Jenkins bitch slap and he smiled and said that is a big dude. I said so he basically could do that to most anyone, i got the feeling he was thinking smaller guys and not him.
I then proceeded to ask him about the Kicker job...He wouldn't give me an answer, but i said the rest of the team has to be pissed at Kris Brown because he could of won just 1 more game for us out of how many chances and we were in the playoff's. I could really tell that he agreed and i also said when Brown shanks one this year, the city will want his head and he agreed. Most of this was body language of course, but i definately felt that he wanted Rackers and so does the team do I. If i can think of anything else i will comment below when i get home.
__kubes also said Slaton is our KR and JJ is our PR
____the thing i took home most from the speeches and i mean Kubiak, Bob McNair, Frank Bush, Rick Smith said our FANS need to get their arses in the seat by game time. Mark Vandemeer was the host and he has been talking about this on the Radio and so has BRB. We have the greatest Tailgate parties in the NFL, but people don't get in their seats by game time. BRB beat this into the ground until every Houstonian that has tickets knows how important it is...see Romo sweep pass, Audible, his RB didn't hear b/c of our Fans. Kubiak mentioned our home record dropped last year to 4-4, LET'S GET THERE ON TIME AND LET'S GET LOUD.

Freaking awesome
Wish I could rec more than once.
And I think we need to come up with a nickname for Brown after this. Or are we still sticking with Kung Fu Panda? Which I’ve never liked for him.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Kung Foo Panda or D-BO...i think there is room for both considering, i was thinking he looked like KFP from the second i say him
BFD he really did look like the Kung Foo Panda…I just wasn’t certain that was the nickname for him or someone else…b/c i really did almost tell him, but didn’t know if i was misremembering (thanks roger) from reading here. that could of been great, for some reason i wasn’t bashful at all.

Great post man. Lucky sunuvabitch lol
Sounds like Duane Brown is an awesome guy. It’s definitely easier to root for a guy when you know he’s down to earth like that.
Sad thing is most of these uppity up people didn't know who they were sitting with and new every player by face except for Will Patterson
Duane, is really cool, calm, mannered dude and i was just talking to him like one of my buddies. In the magazine thing we got, his nickname is D-BO….so i tucked in my chain before he got to the table. I left the mag. at work, but i want to see what other nicknames they have in there for other players.
Also one of the other guys asked him who were the toughest DE he faced. I’m sure yall already knew, but it’s 1. Dwight Freeney 2. Mullet Man…he said not only does Freeney have the best spin move, but his bull rush is powerful as they get.
He said the Raiders had the fans that heckled the most and he hasn’t played in Philly yet.
He said Cleveland had the worst field conditions, but still nothing terrible.
Most Importantly—-that new rule where they have one of the Refs positioned to watch the linemen, especially the LT he said is something that will make it tougher on him and easier for the D-LINE. In his words…he said Peyton Manning will get the rule overturned simply b/c he is Putin Manning and he likes the no huddle offense and has already been flagged for not waiting on the Ref to get into position. So i’m sure this rule will be changed, i mean it’s Paytun Freakin Manning.
And i believe from his body language that Neil Rackers will be our new Kicker. Unless kube’s still has faith in this guy, which i don’t see how. Considering he could of easily cost Kubiak his own job.
there was a lot more i wanted to say and ask him, but i spoke to him more than all of the other 7 people at our table combined. so i’m sure i was the annoying guy already, but i made of made him feel comfortable actually b/c Super Mario was over there looking board-staring into space ( He needed me b/c i didn’t give D-BO any boring down time ). someone asked about Chester Pitts and i got the feeling he didn’t like Alex Gibbs too much.
Don't ask me! Ask Google, you dumb Yahoo!
and I new every player by face except for Will Patterson
and Malcom Sheppard

Doood
I R Yell-us!!! seriously… even if i was in the same room in those guys i think i would have to excuse myself to the restroom to toss my boxers. but I would probably go about it the same way. and if i got sat next to Brian Cushing, it would have been all about his pedometer, putting the fear of Real Texans into Romo, and if Peighton’s unusually large forehead blinds him in open air stadiums.

Lucky you
Congrats for being able to do this. And thanks for the report.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

addendum......
the new policy this year is that they sound a horn 30 minutes prior to kickoff, and then again 15 minutes prior. IF YOU HAVE TICKETS……. GET YOUR ASS IN THE STADIUM. lol

thirty minutes isn't going to do any good
Unless you’re tailgating right next to the entrance thirty minutes isn’t going to get you in the seats by kick off. We usually start heading in from fairly close in the blue lot about 45 min before kickoff. Our seats are in the lower bowl so we don’t have to hike all the way up the ramp. Usually have enough time to grab a beer and get to the seats a few minutes before kick off.

part of what we do....
is reminding fans. they’re pushing it BIG this season.

Blue lot!
My tix for the Giants game were delivered today. They came with a pass to the blue lot. Bringing the g/f and a buddy with me. I plan on getting there early for the tailgating of course.
Y’all got a usual number or whatever you park by? Would like to tailgate it right with some BRBers

Nicknames: a little more info. from my 2010 Texans Yearbook
Kareem Jackson: “Jack” aka K-Jack, aka Three….but i was reading his profile and it’s says his favorite hobby is buying shoes (i’m pretty sure i read that on brb first), but the guy owns 400 and counting. lets just call him " Shoes " Jackson…or how about Swoosh for the Nike symbol. Swoosh it is……
Arian Foster: as never had a nickname…one of his favorite movies is the last samurai…also, he loves playing “call of duty” and says he is the best in the world. and if anyone wants to find him his name is “MrOneHunned”….i think he just gave himself his first nickname.
Sean Cody: is half Irish and half mexican: one of his is “Green Bean”, gotta love it.
Antonio Smith: is “Scooby”, which i love, but says his new one is “ninja assasin”
Don't ask me! Ask Google, you dumb Yahoo!
I don't think you can call him Swoosh
Reebok probably has that outlawed as the sole NFL shoe & clothing sponsor.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Arian Foster is the Pterodactyl
Antonio Smith was the Ninja Assassin, but he declared, Saturday night, that he wanted to be The Disruptacon.

Classic.
But just one question. What day is on your schedule to go to Sam’s Club and buy a shitload of cinnamon rolls?
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
i get em on the way to the stadium!
at the store on main street. i was nervous about em, but considering that ASS SMACK that we laid on the cowboys, i would say they worked excellent. lol

I believe the correct terminology is now "FUCKSTOMP"
"Well, at least our players kept their helmets on, so that showed some intelligence"-Bob McNair
Yes the official word
for winning a contest by >7 pts is no a fuckstomp!
"Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries! Now Go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"
