PrintGood Morning! Time to grab a cup of your favorite coffee and take a listen to a rare positive edition of Luv Ya Steel Blue.
In this week's edition, I discuss the 2010 season opener against the Colts, the signing of two free agent defensive ends and a preview of this weekend’s game against the Washington Redskins.

I shortened the intro.

Just wait...
Till some idiot’s “Arian Nation” banner gets plastered all over MNF. Oh man, that’ll be fun. Really.
True that the rest of the country will no doubt take offense....
but knowing Arian’s philosophy background I bet he would enjoy the term being used in a more ‘constructive’ (for lack of a better term) manner than it had been previously.

I was going to make a disclaimer...
But I really didn’t think anyone would be offended here. Anyone who knows me would know that I don’t mean it in a racist form in any fashion. But, if the PC Police come to get me, I will change the title of this week’s show. It was more of a play at the old “Hulkamania” days of the WWF.
But, again, if it is deemed to offensive for SB Nation (Which is possible) and the BRB readers, I will happily edit the title.
It's not offensive
People just constantly look for things to be drama queens about. And this is one of them.

Love renamed userID
Didn’t ET use that number to phone home?
Q: If losses by fewer than 7 points are 3 times more likely than blowout losses to cause Tim to get blindingly drunk, do you take the over or the under on the number of Scott appearances as 3.5?
TexansDC: False. You can’t get drunk from Coors Light.
Who's Mike Jones?

Thanks, Whiskey
As the token Jew around here, I find it marginalizing and funny. Arian Nation gets my vote.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

^ what he said
Even the jew part. Arian Nation is just a nickname, and a good one at that. No reason to cry foul.
A good one too
I like the word Dactyls. I’m a sucker for odd combinations of letters. Although I think the word flock is a bit weak, unless you’re blatantly referring to the 80s. Any of the following will suffice: herd, quorum, pack, drove, gang, brood, bevy, gam, pod, skein, covey, cete.
If we collectively are a Gam of Dactyls, I’m all for it.
Brood O' Dactyls!!! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I dub the Redskins....Shanny-cest!

The "Arian Nation" thing has been out there a while. It's hardly the first time.
…and I think it’s pretty obvious there was no ill intent. Come on, now.

Just clarifying
I wasn’t personally offended, nor was I whining. Just don’t want others with thinner skin to take offense and get any BRBers in hot water.
Schaub fan since 2002
No worries

...but you probably want to remember...
…that “offensive” is the air that we breathe around here.

My bad
I really didn’t think that the episode title would cause a debate. Like I said, I’ve heard that all over the radio for weeks. Didn’t think it was a big deal.
The title is funny Mike and there is no "bad" to be taken on...
…and if we start scrambling to not offend EVERY possible hyper-sensitive walking nerve ending out there, we might as well shutter the joint and just do something else.
It’s call free speech and if I have to tolerate the vile crap that passes as tax-payer-funded-ART in this country then the twisted-pink-panty crowd can just grow up as well.
I accepted the fact that as a part of a larger community here I was going to have to allow others the freedom of thought and speech that would occasionally make me uncomfortable. I think that it is only fair to expect the same level of accommodation in return.
Humor taking the Lord’s name in vain makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable, but again, see the previous paragraph. I wince, I keep it to myself, and I move on because that is part of what I implicitly agreed to when I started enjoying the discussions here.
Maybe we all fans of Arian Foster should go by

The only reason I would change it
is if Arian Foster said he was opposed to that nickname.
It’s been on radio, TV, and all over the internet. Like bfd said, it’s a marginalizing idea…..in terms of the running back and diverse fan base. However, if Arian wasn’t cool with it then that’s when you change it.

"Lord, beer me strength."
I actually like this a lot
Not as a nickname, but it makes for one helluva tag line.
Q: If losses by fewer than 7 points are 3 times more likely than blowout losses to cause Tim to get blindingly drunk, do you take the over or the under on the number of Scott appearances as 3.5?
TexansDC: False. You can’t get drunk from Coors Light.
Something else has...
awful music playing the entire time through, ’cept those have occasional money shots and “realistic” scenarios.
Does the awful music ever stop or does it go on the entire way through?
I am the father of Brian Cushing's baby.
Listening to a positive, optimistic Mike Kerns....
takes some getting used to, but I hope I’m used to it by the end of the season.
"Lord, beer me strength."
yawns and rubs sleepys out eyes....
oh yeah…. Mike Kerns! I will have to listen later. Will get to you on that.
I dub the Colts....Unforgiven!
I said I'd listen to it later
Just before I crawl into the old fartsack…but, don’t worry. Not using it as foreplay. Can I say that here on BRB? Anyway, I have trouble falling asleep sometimes and this should be better and faster acting than three Tylenol PMs! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Okay, I listened to Luv Ya Steel Blue and I have one thing I'd like to say!
I dub the Colts....Unforgiven!
bottom line
You picked the Colts to beat the Texans!
I dub the Redskins....Shanny-cest!
by Rip Jersey on Sep 17, 2010 6:19 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah, I'm sure I was the only one.
I also said I thought Mario Williams at #1 was going to be a regretful decision.
This just in: I’m not Rivers. I’m wrong sometimes…
Just f’n with ya, Rivers.
I'm more offended
that your ripping off the Luv Ya Blue! era with the steel blue thing lol
I'm the best there is at what I do.
No worries
Mike, I was just ribbin’ ya. I’m overprotective of the Oilers. :)
I'm the best there is at what I do.
I don't blame you.
I call them out too…as often as possible

It only makes sense that...
He should be the only player on the Texans to have to were full Battle Red Uniform, shirt, pants, helmet, for every game. When the rest of the team is wearing white jersey’s or blue jersey’s, everyone has to be able to spot the Grand Dragon of teh Arian Nation.
Don't ask me! Ask Google, you dumb Yahoo!
The sound quality may suck, as it will be a learn as I go kind of thing
But next week will be the first week I have a guest on the show. Mobile to Mobile is never going to sound good, but I’ll try to clean up the sound with Audacity the best I can.
As far as the guest, it’s someone you’re all quite familiar with.
Jakespeare?
