Brock actually looked like a guy who could play in Denver. Small sample size, sure. But he looked like an NFL quarterback. Buford'll tell you.

I guess what I'm saying is that Kubiak has my eternal respect because he licks his palms and magically turns a guy who can't play for the worst team in the history of the sport into a reasonable facsimile of an NFL player.

I like Matthew Stafford fine. I think he's pretty good. But that contract? Man. It's crazy what you have to pay for pretty good.

You scared me. I saw the headline and thought "Ozzie is back???"

particularly coupled with the news that they'd cut Weeden.

Oh, well. I'm busy watching the Twerps demolish the Longhorns. The Curse of the Longhorn Network continues...

I'd forgotten all about that game. My younger self would be disgusted at what I've become. Of course, if I could have a couple of words with my younger self...

Once I started my retirement countdown and began focusing on a new location, I've found myself caring less about things that used to occupy my unswerving loyalty. Realizing I don't need all these clothes in my closet where I'm going, I bagged four hefty bags full of shirts and pants on Wednesday to send to hurricane victims. A lot of folks had to leave with just the shirt on their backs. If I can give several victims a few extra shirts to wear, it's well worth it and very little sacrifice.

Anyway, Osweiler is back with the Broncos! Small world, eh? I guess living in Peyton Manning's shadow doesn't look so bad now.

I hope they like oversized Broncos sweatshirts, Promise Keepers 1997 tees and velcro Reeboks.

Just kidding, nice work. There was amazingly little loss of life for a storm of this size but it is impossible for me to comprehend the number of families that lost everything.

By the way, I'm not done talking about what we were discussing earlier. I still owe you some thoughts.

None of those but the lucky will get some Astros polos and tees in now retro colors plus an LSU t-shirt I got from a now-defunct store in Baton Rouge and an Edmonton Oilers tee shirt from my Wayne Gretzky days.

I held onto my Phi Slama Jama t-shirt that Coach Lewis signed for me. I also kept two Larry Dierker-style Hawaiian shirts with Astros logos on them. I decided these still might have monetary value some day.
