Saturday Night's Alright For Commenting: BRB Open Thread (02/11/12)

PrintWe're kicking around the idea of having a regular Saturday evening open thread here at BRB, either in addition to or when "Saturday Night Tunes" is on hiatus. While it's almost sure to end poorly, what can I say? I'm a pie-eyed optimist. Let's touch that hot stove, shall we?
Consider this your open thread to discuss whatever you're up to or thinking about on this fine Saturday night, Texans-related or not. The community guidelines are always in effect, so use your good judgment in what you post for public consumption.

I can’t listen to another sportscenter……stupid bradying

They've got their new sensation already
Linsanity is taking over, & with every great performance he has, Daryl Morey sits in disbelief that he let him go instead of trading Johnny Flynn to the Knicks

Jeremy Lin
Lin wouldn’t be what he is right now if we would have kept him. He would be riding the pine on the bench behind Lowry and Dragic, and we probably would have kept him if it weren’t for that Flynn was in contract and Lin wasn’t.

This is true.
I do think Morey should have seen Lin was much better than Jeff Adrien though. At least then he wouldn’t be hurting the draft pick we’re getting from NY.
http://www.crawfishboxes.com
Yeah, that is my only concern at this point.
I was hoping for a good pick from the Knicks. We’ll see how it turns out, but hopefully Carmelo hogs the ball and disrupts what Lin rhythm.
"He was in my way, so I got him out of the way." - Arian Foster
Then again, if Stern hadn't vetoed that trade, Dragic wouldn't be here either
Flynn probably could have been traded to NYC since they were inquiring about him, then Lin would have been the #2 PG behind Lowry. I agree though he wouldn’t be getting the playing time or recognition he’s getting in NYC right now due to the fact that the national media ignores Houston in general.
On that note, FUCK YOU DAVID STERN!!!!

It’s the downside to having a bunch of talented players.

Someone will offer him more money than we can offer.
That is just reality. The only way he stays is if we offer enough, that our playoff probability makes up for the difference.

What if somehow we were able to snag hines ward for cheap, way better than walter at blocking, and is much more sure-handed than jacoby…that is if we somehow don’t sign mario, but I just don’t see that happening!!

Unless something changes
I read somewhere that he was adamant about retiring a Steeler, and was willing to rework his contract and take a pay cut.
Eh
Just screams Eric Moulds to me.

And Ward probably has even less in the tank now than Moulds did then.
I was legitimately excited about Moulds. Signing Ward wouldn’t register any excitement from me now.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

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?

If Mary O'Williams leaves
are we going to draft an OLB, or will we pick one up through FA?
I’m still hoping that he takes a hometown discount, especially with all of the time he’s missed due to injuries.

Just what we need
A WR that is easily covered by linebackers.
The only reason he was playing this year was pity of the Stealers part.

yes
meachum seems realistic and a great move. sign him and draft another wr in third round. first round draft pass rush olb/de, and in second run stuffing nose tackle.

I think we lose Mario. Sad but True.
Maybe we could add another “Carr” to our team in Brandon Carr CB! YAY!
Big FA add I know, but maaaaaaan our 2ndary would be sick.
I’d also like to add Pierre Garcon, Stevie Johnson or Robert Meachum – but $ comes into play.
Then CUT KAREEM JACKSON. Cut Jacoby. Cut Leinart. Whoever else is dead weight.
Restructure Schaub, Ryan’s and OD’s contracts.
Sign Foster AND Duane Brown. You don’t let franchise LT’s hit FA.
Since I’m bored….
Draft:
1st – Andre Branch DE/OLB – Under Wade’s system in a rotation this guy is probably good for 8+sacks year one. Not as good as Mario, but a good rotational OLB. Plus… don’t forget about teh Braman.
2nd – Alameda Taamu NT – Finally a BIG bodied NT to eat up blockers. Rotate him w/ Cody – and Mitchell showed flashes last year of a pass rush, so maybe you keep him too. This will let Cushing and a healthy Ryans run all over opposing teams, and obviously help our pass rush.
3rd – ONE of the MAAANY Big, rangy WR’s that will still be available – Tommy Streeter, Stephen Hill, TY HIlton, Dwight JONES! personally I like Juron Criner – but he might be gone…
4th – Andrew Datko – OT – yes, he’s hurt. But he’ll recover and make a fine backup or possible replacement for Eric Winston. Good value.
5th – David Molk C – Good Backup for Myers. Whom we retain! Will he fall to here? NFLDraftScout has him w/ a 5th round grade. ….Seems to be hurt possibly. I also think if one of the intriguing OLB’s like Cam Johnson or maybe even Sean Spence (size) are left we would pull the trigger here.
6th – Jarius Wright, Ark, WR/PR – Boom. Dynamic, speedy PR.
7th – uhh…. Case Keenum! I keed. I keed.
So that’s it. Back up the OLine. Fortify the DLine. Get rid of KJax. Bring in Carr and maybe Garcon.

This is Schaub's last year
So a restructure doesn’t really make sense without an extension at the same time.

Thats what I meant. Gotta get him and Brown an extension.
Restructure Demeco’s definitely though. Maybe OD’s. For the good of the team.
I’d keep Walter, but cut Jacoby.

GF and I are considering adopting a dog (boxador) from our local shelter.
Anyone have good tips/ sage advice on the breed?
find out as much as you can from vets and breeders
do some online research. make sure you have money to pay for everything and the patience. dogs wear out their welcome and be sure that you love to have them around. have had dogs since i was young and they are fun. but when they get sick it fuckin blows and you will need to be by their side. be prepared.

I'm guessing that its a gentle type.
Both Labs and Boxers are gentle breeds and both tend to be low maintenence if they have plenty of room to exercise. I’ve been told they are OK for household (indoor) but you have to take em for walks and exercise. You also need a very large pooper scooper. And they will leave massive land mines in your yard. You will say “How can they do that much?”
I can tell you much more about Border Collies and Cavaliers.

My sister's Border Collie, "Kilgore", was the best dog I ever knew.
Amazingly intelligent, loyal and superbly gentle around children. I loved him, and I’m not even a dog guy.

When I was a kid (I guess about 7 or 8), I had a border collie
one day I was running through the back yard barefoot and I didn’t see a big ole snake lying out there. My dog ran up and grabbed that snake by the tail and started whipping it around banging it up agianst trees, rocks, whatever, till he killed it. They are very loyal and protective of their family.

Thanks to all for the words of wisdom.
We’re going out to the shelter this Saturday to see how the dog interacts with us, with others, etc. Will post pics if we come home plus one!
