Nuke!

Now I can go back to being miserable that Foles is my FF QB.

[chuck]

That reverse is so incredibly irresponsible that it pisses me off to see it even when it works out in our favor.

[chuck]

I figured Blue would score sooner than later but I didn't have that in mind exactly.

They should open the roof.

I remember an opening game years ago against San Diego where it rained like a mofo.

I would expect most SE Houstonians to have a diesel generator.
