PrintThe maiden voyage of this idea didn't cause the universe to collapse in upon itself, so let's try this again.
Consider this your open thread to discuss whatever you're up to or thinking about on this fine Saturday night, Texans-related or not. Maybe you want to chat about Mario Williams. Maybe you want to talk about where you're heading for dinner. Maybe you want to elaborate upon the pros (because there are no cons) to drinking Coors Light and/or Irish whiskey.
You are the master of your domain. Except that the community guidelines are always in effect, so use your good judgment in what you post for public consumption.

Hope that worked.

You keep saying that
I think you’re trying to overcompensate for something.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

and throw in a touch of mindless violence.

NFL Game Rewind sucks.
Beware!
I paid for the privilege of watching replays of the 2009-2010-2011/12 season games. Tonight I find that privilege has been rescinded, apparently because, oh, I don’t know, because it’s late February?
The thirty bucks I paid to watch those games is apparently down the rat hole.
OK, fine NFL: you fucked me this time. But it will be a cold day in hell before I buy NFL Game Rewind or anything like it again.
