I love America
But I hate Rick Barnes!!!!!
(Too Soon??)
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
By the way!
Go Saints!
Rooting for Drew on this one
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Hilarious poll, PB
Since there are probably more Saints fans than Texans fans here in Houston, it’s the home team, and I don’t have to be a fascist.
4-3 fascists in the poll
Gross. Who are you people? IT’S LIKE I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU
You ain't hurt...
I guess I'm puzzled about the poll
Why would one cheer for the Saints over the Colts?

I know Baltimorons here are still hung up on the Colts' departure many years ago
But I don’t get what Pittsburghers have against Indy. I admit that I don’t particularly like Peyton, but he’s such a great player and keeps his nose clean, so it’s hard to justify disliking him, let alone strongly enough to overweigh the scumminess of Bush.

I hear ya -
and I watch many of our ‘horns games here in Htown in bars frequented by LSU/NO fans. Trust me, it’s a challenge to like anything from southern Louisiana that involves sports. And Drew Brees is from my hometown…
As with PB, it’s complicated!
Just say NO
A few classic jokes about the Saints:
Q: What do you call 53 people sitting around a TV watching the Super Bowl?
A: The New Orleans Saints.
Q: How do you keep a New Orleans Saint out of your yard?
A: Put up goal posts.
Q: Where do you go in New Orleans in case of a tornado?
A: The Superdome – they never have a touchdown there .
Q: What do you call a New Orleans Saint with a Super Bowl ring?
A: A thief.
Q: Why doesn’t Baton Rouge have a professional football team?
A: Because then New Orleans would want one.
Q: What’s the difference between the New Orleans Saints & a dollar bill?
A: You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.
Q: What do the New Orleans Saints and possums have in common?
A: Both play dead at home and get killed on the road!
Q: How many New Orleans Saints do es it take to win a Super Bowl?
A: Nobody knows and we may never find out.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
There's a football game today?
I guess I should cancel going to see that new Dear John movie tonight.
Equal time
Q: What do you call an Indianapolis Colt with a Super Bowl ring?
A: A thief.
Q: What’s the difference between the Indianapolis Colts and a dollar bill?
A: You can still get four good quarters out of a dollar bill
Q: How many Indianapolis Colts does it take to win a Super Bowl?
A: Nobody knows and we may never find out.
Q: What do the Colts have in common with Marijuna?
A: They both get smoked in a Bowl.
Q: What do the Indianapolis Colts and Billy Graham have in common?
A: They both can make 70,000 people stand up and yell “Jesus Christ.”
Q: Where do you go in Indianapolis in case of a tornado during the playoffs?
A: To RCA Dome – it’s rare for a “touchdown” to happen in there!

I am rooting against Reggie Bush
If NO can win it without him, fine, but I don’t want that little punk to get a damn thing. My dislike for Reggie Bush is enough for me to be okay with Dave Thomas waiting on a ring.
Garcon drops easy 20 yards pass
4th down Foreheads
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Reggie fair catch around the 28 yd line
1st down Saints after the break
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Bush gets one yard out of it
Not an in between the tackles kind of guy
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Not even close!
I think pretty much the entire mid-Atlantic is not at a SB party. No one can drive anywhere here right now.

Our Super Bowl party:
The wife, BOH, and the two little ones. Oh, and the three feet of snow outside.
This is boring, except for the part where we get to root against Bush. I had been hoping to play Catan during the actual gameplay, and take pauses for the commercials.
Too funny
I’m actually playing Civ 2 right now. I discovered my old CD for it in an office box.
But I meant playing Settlers and/or Seafarers of Catan. I’ve never tried the computer game.

Hmm, not yet, because I'm rather uninterested so far
Although I should probably start in on that next time I sit down to watch a UT basketball game. That ought to do the trick.
You know, come to think of it, seeing the old fellas sing Baba O’Riley is about the most interesting thing I’ve seen since we watched the season four premiere of Big Love this morning.

At times like this...
…I really, really wish Freddie Mercury were still around. I’m confident he would’ve brought as much energy at whatever his current age would’ve been if he were here to put on a halftime show. As it is, I think the pendulum has gone a little too far in the opposite direction from the Timberlake/Jackson incident. I like a lot of The Who’s music, but their stage presence is about as strong as a plate of cold spaghetti these days, as has been the case with almost every act since the wardrobe malfunction. I have been a fan of all the other performers, including Tom Petty, the Stones, Sir Paul, and Bruce Springsteen, but they all fit the same mold: past-their-prime rockers who are more name than anything at this point. I think Prince was the only decent one.
My idea: the Black-Eyed Peas.
by burntorangehorn on Feb 7, 2010 7:20 PM CST up reply actions
I can't stand the Black-Eyed Peas
They are the quintessential talentless group that makes it big because of marketing. Hate to back Cowherd, but at least Beyonce is truly talented.
And Freddie Mercury was mega talented, good call.
I haven't seen them recently
Do they still have much energy on stage? I think they’d kind of be in the same boat as the Stones/McCartney/The Who, except with a smaller beginning fanbase.
by burntorangehorn on Feb 7, 2010 7:37 PM CST up reply actions
Disagree on that
I think Will and his bros. are terrific songwriters. I think Fergie’s kind of a throwaway, but otherwise, I think they have far more talent than Beyonce. All she does is sing. She doesn’t write, she doesn’t arrange, and she doesn’t add anything to music except for her Whitney-wannabe oversinging. She’s like Christine Aguilera in that way.
I mean, I guess Beyonce dances, but that’s not music.
by burntorangehorn on Feb 7, 2010 7:36 PM CST up reply actions
BEP more talented than Beyonce?
Are you sure this isn’t just anti-Cowherd delirium? Cause I would totally understand that.
I thought that prior to Cowherd's rant
I don’t see what people see in singers like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Christine Aguilera. They just oversing everything, and the music is so irritating. My friends’ DJ at their nightclub plays that insufferable “All My Single Ladies” song, and I want to rip out the dance pole and wallop the women who flock en masse to the dancefloor to dance to it.

Yeah, Howard County in MD
It’s freaking ridiculous. My sole location where I can bill hours, which is within the monitored confines of my government client’s facilities, are likely to be closed again, so I could be forced to use some vacation days. Yech.

This is actually worse than the Dec. 17th storm, believe it or not
That one was insane, with just over 2’ of snow, but it’s far, far worse here right now.

Hartley with the FG at the end of the half
10-6 Colts
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
I love The Who
but I find it hilarious that with all the screaming kids around them, only about 5% know the words to the songs.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Henderson gets about 9 more yards
Great rollout by Brees
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Another great PA by Brees
close to another 1st down. At Indy 23
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Time for Peighton to put his oversized helmet on
and try to answer what Brees just did with ease
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Kickoff to the 5

Great pass by Peyton
gets Clark for about 25 yards
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
In name only
If one watches how he plays, he’s more like a WR than a TE. He’s kind of like Winslow 2 that way.

Gonna go make burgers
Play by play has to go for now

Ref's called a good game. Kept it in front of them. Impressive.
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
Is the goalpost in play?
Can you catch a TD off of a deflection?
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
i feel like an idiot.
there is not way that the colts can realistically come back and win this game. but for some reason, my head was running scenarios as to how it would be possible. im going for NO, cause i might be able to get some nookie out of it since my wife is going for the saints…idk;
If You See Kay, Oh You
What? I always get nookie when the Saints win.
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
Reggie Wayne in on 2 big 4th qtr plays. Quit running the route on the pick 6 and quit on the last route, too.
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
...but so does Reggie - Reggie - Reggie. :(
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
You're right. How could I forget. David Thomas got a Superbowl ring for the 2005 MNC. :-)
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
Not hung up on USC
We won the game. 41-38. Hard to keep hating when you win.
Alabama? Now that’s a different story…
You ain't hurt...
I'm still hung up on the cheating Heisman heist. EVERYBODY knows VY had the year and should have the trophy.
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
I feel ya
But I’d suggest just giving up on the Heisman. Hate the media. They’re the culprits.
You ain't hurt...
Ah, I don't hate. I love. Peace out.
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
I can assure you
no member of the 2009 Alabama squad got a Superbowl ring tonight. We can rest easy.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Isn't it former Redskin QB Mark Brunnell?
"Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it's so incredible, it's unbelievable." - Tom Landry
Mark Brunell?
Plus Chase Daniel on the scout team, I think.
by HornPossessed on Feb 7, 2010 8:54 PM CST up reply actions
It would be funny
if they drafted Colt, and then released Chase Daniel. Poor guy gets picked over by Colt twice in his life.
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
NFL Network showing Bourbon Street party...
Show your tats! Show your tats! Or something to that effect.

Get her a Saints Superbowl T-Shirt
Not a better way to say, “I love you”
Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.
Especially in the Tuscaloosa store where everything there is cheaper.

In other news, NCAA orders FSU to vacate 12 football wins. They pick.
