Happy Holidays From BRB

by Tim on Dec 25, 2011 6:00 AM CST in General BRB Idiocy

From all of us at BRB, here's wishing you and yours a happy holiday season.

Your Houston Texans got you a division title and a playoff berth for Christmas. It's sort of like the dog you asked for every year as a kid, except this time someone (I'd liken this fictional person to your certifiably insane, socially awkward, drinks-way-too-much-before-the-meal-and-says-horribly-inappropriate-things-about-your-mother-just-after-the-food-is-served-thus-sending-your-mother-away-from-the-table-in-tears-and-creating-a-totally-unnecessarily-tense-remainder-of-the-meal uncle...or MDC) actually got you a puppy. Yes, the pup promptly pooped under the tree/lost to a Dan Orlovsky-led 1-13 Colts squad, but dude...you got a DOG. Dreams do come true.

Enjoy your day.

You need to grow up and be responsible and realize that dogs require a lot of care and love and nurturing. They are one step removed from being human. Sometime they are more human than we are. They are good listeners. They are your best friend. They just want to be wherever you are. I wouldn’t know where I would be without my dog. Wait a minute. Where is that dog? Dang! She’s probably getting into trouble right now! I’ll be back!

You're right. Dogs really are very humanlike.

That’s why I asked for a pet human for Christmas.

Special thanks to BRB Writers here.

Also, a very real thank you to all the wonderful fans whom contribute to this sight. I’d love nothing more than to have this team go totally wooley piss ignorant in the play offs and win it ALL! But honestly, were here. Lets at least make some damn noise!

Merry Christmas to all my brothers and sisters in BRB land.

May your best present be a happy and healthy year.

I had a dream. In that dream I saw a multitude of screaming people on Richmond. I saw Kubiak laughing. I saw Andre Johnson pouring champagne from a trophy on to Brian Cushings head. What does it mean?

Merry Christmas to all!

Hope all have a wonderful day today!

Merry Christmas to all!!

And if you don’t celebrate Christmas I hope you enjoy the hell out of today anyway.

We had a couple of nice Texans related presents at the Vega household. I got my baby girl a Texans cheerleader outfit and the wife got me a Texans tap handle.

Merry Christmas!

Didn’t get tickets, but received a Brian Cushing Battle Red jersey, a long and short sleeved 2011 Division champs shirt and also a nice Texans hat!

I made out like a bandit! I hope everyone has a great and happy Christmas!

My thoughts are like Brian Cushing on the field: Everywhere.

Coulda been worse...

Coulda lost to a win-less Colts team (cough-Titans-cough)

Or does misbehave sometimes.

I’ll post a comment, then it will keep marking it unread and increase the number of unread comments until I go out and refresh the post.

Does Green Bay miss Jennings that bad

Mostly Jennings I'd say...

Didn’t get a chance to see it last week, but from what I heard from APC was the other receivers were plagued by drops. And we were already out or LT and two more tackles went down that game so the o line had been a problem. And the D has been too reliant on turnovers all season, which they didn’t get at all last week.
