Back when I was a wee lil Balls, one of the first songs I learned in English was this one:
The second was probably this one:

Even though I was a wee lil Steelers fan back then, I really liked the Houston Oilers and Earl Campbell and Dan Pastorini. Those were some great teams.
At the same time, probably to spite me or to be the opposite of me, my brother was a Cowboys fan. He had a Roger Staubach action figure and everything.
So, our loyalties within the Great State of Texas were divided. Much like many families in Texas, I assume. Yes, some are Cowboys families and others are Houston families, but I’m betting a 40 oz steak that asshole brothers pulled for the other team just to spite someone.
Oh, those were the days!
Nowadays, the Oilers are technically in Nashville, the Cowboys suck balls, Houston is more known for the 500, and the word “Texans” is being forced to apply to some imaginary team placed in Houston.
Also this:
Without further ado, TO THE GAME:
The Cowboys still have not given Dak anyone to throw to and poor Dez is still sitting at home wondering why he’s being blackballed even though he never kneeled for the anthem.
The Houston franchise has a great QB in Watson and… that’s about it. Their defense is… improving. It’s almost like the two teams are mirror images of each other.
I KNOW no one in The Great State Of Texas likes this state of affairs.
The game is in apparently NOT in Dallas, so the ladies in attendance will have a bit more less makeup and bigger frizzier hair. Nothing else separates these teams.
If you’re wanting to place a bet, you might as well decide on which classic film you prefer and bet accordingly:
Enjoy the game!
Unless you want to watch the Doyers take on the Braves and really I wouldn’t blame you. At least you could avoid Collinsworth…
Or, you could do like me and continue watching the Psych marathon on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. One of the Despereaux episodes is on!
Pugs can defend themselves too.
Stop trying to make Dak happen, give it Zeke.
if non-gendered Cowpersons win the battle FOAR Deep in teh Hearta , will the Metroplex fall back in lurve with DAK DAK DAK DAK!
GO WATSON!!
Oh! McCoy apologist calling in to let us know the players are at fault for the boring playcalls! The players have poor fundamentals and, jeeze, so what if every run was a handoff up the middle? If the players just executed correctly, it would work every time. DUHH!!
The hosts, by the way, are just jumping on this like a conspiracy theorist on Fox News. THE FANS DON’T KNOW! THE FANS DON’T KNOW!
Right – because we all didn’t see how to effectively utilize David Johnson under the previous coaching staff. It must be Johnson’s fault that he’s an edge rusher being forced right up the middle….
IT’S ALL 100% BLACK OR WHITE
What about the Hatfields??!!?
Good play.
Reenactment:
Watson is going to get hurt am telling you, STOP.
he must have GREAT life insurance
I got silly.
So I called Millie.
Millie told me.
Fuck Philly.
Celebration weed!
SKOL buddy! We’re back on track!
That felt good.
All pug pics, gifs, memes are approved.
Cowboys should try to get a touchdown.
You are ready for the booth.
Another McCoy bashing call! Hosts are going straight Lindsey Graham at this point.
Oh come on! You’re telling me anyone has watched a Cardinals game long enough to have opinions about their offensive coordinator? Wait, what? They have? Oh, well, carry on then.
Hard to get much sample when every possession is a three and out.
McCoy never called an offensive play while the coach of the Chargers, so I wouldn’t know what that looks like, but it sounds about right.
The Dodgers walked the pitcher with the bases loaded, and then gave up a grand slam after finally throwing their first strike in 7 pitches. More of this, please.
You see, this guy, he gets it.
That’s a happy development!
Dirty bird
Is that a yellow card?
Own teammate; he gets a get out of yellow card free….. card.
zeke had a nice block on the 3rd down.
o7
at the commercial break, I saw my first pitch of the AL or NL Division Series. Dude walked the pitcher with the bases fucked. That seems like enough baseballing.
3 of 5 Cardinals Talk callers have called out Mike McCoy. And one of the two who did not just had some pathetic old timey announcer schtick he vomited up without discussion.
Watson may die tonight.
Ahoy gents! It’s mah birthday today, Vikes won, my opponent forgot to play a defense and I’m full of crab legs and meatballs. Hope everyone else is kicking as much ass as my life is today.
Get the party started.
I’m not sure what’s going here, but I’d like to learn more.
Hate that I’ve had to start shopping at Harris Teeter, but they DO make a good rotisserie chicken breast
Oh, you fancy!
pinky OUT fo sho

LCSS — the callers on the Cardinals post game show are “not buying in on McCoy.” Can you believe that?
“Can’t run on first down? Can’t? Ca-ca-ca-CAN’T?!”
For those of you who listen to NFL on your local flagship station, what do you think of the local businesses that sponsor the team?
I’ve dealt with the car dealership that is the official sponsor ofnhe Cardinals/Dbacks/Suns — they fucking suck. The restaurants that advertise with the team, in general, are Applebee’s with a local name. The ac/cooling contractor that advertises with them? I wouldn’t dare let them in my home/business. Just curious if this is a local thing or do the shadiest businesses in every market pay to hang their name on the local NFL team?
For some hilariously strange reason, Bob’s Discount Furniture’s TV ads bill themselves as, “The Official Furniture Supplier of the Washington [REDACTEDS]” air here in Yinzburgh.
It also makes complete sense Dan Snyder would utilize the cheapest furniture.
This is true across the board. Only shitty companies associate themselves with the NFL.
My local Pizza Hut DID get markedly worse after the NFL deal, though the new box with all the helmets is old school-cool.
Nice looking drive here.
Hi internet fellows. Today was a bad day. Hopefully Dallas can lose and that would help a bit.
Yes, I think I imaginarily got you beat.
Oh, for fuck’s sake, JJ hurt his knee, he didn’t get blown up by an IED. Fuck that guy with Milton Berle’s dick.
SHOW ME A MORE WOUNDED WARRIOR! YOU CANT!
Misty Winter sounds like a something your experience in Maine
I wonder what Paula Head’s special power was in that Debbie Does Dallas movie.
Footjobs.
I thought Carrie Underwood missed up her face, Phantom of the Opera style? She looks the same.
So is sexsomnia anything like sexlexia?
Don’t worry Brett, they already confirmed you.
Apparently he has sexnesia.
“WRONG HOLE!”
“I’m sorry, I’ve got sexlexia!”
I’m very much rooting for the Braves in this one, but then they had to go and play “The Chop” and I’m suddenly conflicted.
Their home uniforms are pretty though.
Houston smells like ass and gun smoke.
And chemical plants.
Listening to the Cardinals postgame Cardinal Talk radio show. These bastards are feeling hope!
Now, I get it from Wolfley, he’s got CTE. The rest of these dudes are just trying to sell bullshit though.
I need the Cowboys season to run long this year. The Spurs 1st round draft pick has a tear in his knee and the young starting point guard is having an MRI on Monday. It might be a long Spurs season.
I’ve really enjoyed the Robinson-Duncan-Ginobili-Parker era, but I am afraid that we are going to be seeing a slow-motion descent into mediocrity. I’m sure we’ll continue to make the playoffs every year under Pop, but I don’t see any of the recent acquisitions getting to a level similar to those players I mentioned, and I doubt if we’ll be getting out of the second round given the level of competition.
But I’ll still keep my fingers crossed and hope to be proven wrong.
Ooh, the Friday the 13th episode is on!!
AKA Tuesday the 17th.
So the ad using their song got me curious. Rare Earth is still a thing, have a website, and they still play live on occasion. Since the leader has been with the band since 1960, he must be closing in on being 80 years old.
I need Watson not to outscore Hopkins by more than 70 tonight, to go to 4-1 in money league. Pretty sure that’s nigh impossible, but my neuroses mean I need certainty.
Folks
I know I’ve pointed it out before, but Zeke looks like he has absorbed elevated levels of heavy metals during his childhood.
Seems quite plausible. I mean, you think Zeke ain’t gonna eat all these tasty-ass paint chips??
Not to pick nits, but the game is actually taking place at NRG in Houston. The women will all be leaving snail trails about JJ Watt. But as a San Antonian, I say “Fuck both those flatland fucking towns.”
I keep falling for the American tendency to put the home team last instead of first. My bad.
Lying Ryan episode is on!
