No one dislikes Richard Justice more than I do, but occasionally he does a good story and i have to give him props when he does.

Charles Spencer is trying one more time to get back into the NFL. Oh what a might have been.

Justice's problem started when the Chron downsized. He used to be a baseball guy, but now he has to be an expert on things he doesn't know or care much about.

I thought it was an excellent article about Spencer, I hope he gets a fair shot at returning to football and his life works out well, sounds like he is doing ok.

One thing missing is that Spencer played last season in the United Football League for the Tampa Bay Tuskers, not the NFL but still football.

Thought that should have been mentioned.

Texans to give former OT Spencer a tryout

Former Texans offensive tackle Charles Spencer, who has been out of football because of a badly broken leg he suffered as a rookie in 2006, is getting a tryout with the team Sunday.

Spencer said general manager Rick Smith called and talked to him about a tryout.

"It's a blessing," said Spencer, who continues to make his home in Houston. "I was looking for another opportunity, and the first team to call is the one that I have unfinished business with. I can't thank Rick enough."

Cool. New guard, maybe?

This is fantastic. At the very least I have to appreciate what Rick Smith's doing to give the young man another chance. Who the hell knows, he may turn out to be a contributor.

I agree, hats off to Rick Smith, I wondered if we would call him when Justice's article came out, and they did.

Spencer was doing really well before his injury in 2006. It would be nice if he could make a comeback. He is a big guy, like 6'4" and 335 lbs.

Wow, that injury was in 2006? Holy crap, time flies.
