NFL Week 3 thoughts

So we are hours away from week 3 of the NFL season, and for a lot of teams, it's time to show what they're actually made of. Some teams are playing their first legitimate competition of the year, others are just hoping to sneak out a win or two this season. Other teams just want to score double digits.

September 11, 2001

A day that changed a large chunk of our every day lives. As a nation, it was a tragic event that caused many changes to military, architecture, travel, and just every day of many people's lives. For a small section of others, it meant way more than we could ever imagine. Loss of family, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, neighbors, the list goes on and on. Approximately 2977 people lost their lives that day, including 2,606 inside the World Trade Center, 125 inside the Pentagon, 87 passengers aboard American flight 11, 60 passengers aboard United flight 175, 59 passengers aboard American flight 77 and 40 aboard United flight 93. I cannot imagine how crushing of a feeling it was to turn on the TV, see the various news outlets reporting all the different incidents, and waiting for hours, days, weeks, hoping their family member would come marching through that door, maybe worn out, injured, but alive. For the families of those 2977 people, that day never came.

The Road Goes On Forever, But The Party Never Ends for Kubiak

And here we are, 2011. Texans are 1-0!... only because the NFL season bleeds over into the first week of 2011. 

These four things I know are true:

1. Gary Kubiak will retain his job as Head Coach of the Houston Texans
2. Frank Bush was fired as Defensive Coordinator, along with 3 others on the defensive staff. 
3. Wade Phillips (yes, that Wade Phillips) is coming in to take over as Defensive Coordinator
4. According to Matt Jackson (Sports790) it appears Bernard Pollard is on the way out.

Let's think back to things that have stayed the same in all 9 years of the Texans existence... 

• Disturbed - Down With The Sickness as the player intro music... fine by me.
• AC/DC - TNT for every kickoff. Ever. Also fine by me, although I'd like a little change here.
• Clay Walker - Football Time In Houston. I can almost guarantee this song will never disappear. Home town guy writes a song for the local team? Owner is all over that. Clay Walker will be 90 years old collecting millions from the Texans.
• Cheerleader Uniforms, except for Christmas/Halloween. The rest are essentially the same.

Ok I'm nitpicking a little... but I'm kind of grasping at straws right now trying to decide what I think about this whole situation. Not happy about Kubiak coming back. Glad Bush is gone, but not sure how having 2 known to be soft coaches is gonna help on this team. McNair is clearly looking for people to be friends with the players. They need a coach. Now they don't need Mike Singletary spitting in their faces all game long, but at least a little bit of something. 

As Dskillz says, this is all a ploy to get the former Oiler fans back on the Texans bandwagon. Kubiak, Bum, Wade, Pastorini, Childress, Campbell, Moon. Play the TNT (Texans N Titans) rivalry in the Astrodome, with a packed Dome, and 69,500 others watching on the screens at Reliant. 

Couldn't have said it better myself, Wade.

Reaction to Andre Johnson beating Cortland Finnegan's ass

Reaction to Andre Johnson: 

acksman:

Holy crap at the fight in Ten Hou game. Andre Johnson being escorted out by police.

Vyer:

Finnegan is a little punk ass bitch

captive:

omg andre johson just beat the shit out of finnegan.

Siebzehn50:

Seriously? Wow. I have him on my fantasy team, hopefully he's not out for a while.

acksman:

Johnson and Finnegan pulling each other helmets off and punching each other down. Both benches start to clear. Some crazy shit!

polyh3dron:

WTF @ Texans & Titans... This ain't UFC

Fisticuffs:

WHY WAS ANDRE JOHNSON EJECTED FROM THE GAME?!!?

effzee:

Haven't seen it but not surprised that the bitch ass punk from Tenn got a beat down finally. Finnegan is dirty as fuck and is always taking cheap shots.

captive:

for beating the shit out of cortlan finnegan.

The Frankman:

OH SHIT ANDRE JOHNSON BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA FINNEGAN!

SleazyC:

Andre went ballistic. Probably going to get at least one game suspension.

Zaraki_Kenpachi:

Finnegan is such a bitch. Get rid of that clown already.

BlueTsunami:

Damn, I just saw the punches being thrown in the Houston game. Damnnnn.

Corran Horn:

Holy shit just saw that johnson fight. Baller

Wellington:

Can't get off the field on third, of course. Wow @ AJ beasting on Finnegan.

Fox318:

DAMN

Elfforkusu:

Since my team is about to lose, is there video of this undoubtedly amazing event?

jakncoke:

good. god i hate that fucker. I hope to see highlights

Futurevoid:

@ AJ. Finnegan deserves it too.

Fisticuffs:

I should get fantasy points for Andre beating up Finnegan

Nelo Ice:

found this from a quick yt search http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGLa8VSoxIw

Vyer:

You don't see a guy like AJ go hood ever, but it couldn't happen to better leprechaun looking bitch than finnegan.

Tom Penny:

Andre Johnson going to cost people fantasy leagues. No chance he's not suspended.

spermatic cord:

Damn, that fight was ridiculous! Any word on why it started?

The Frankman:

I'm gonna say this right now. Finnegan started that shit on Johnson by talking shit and then going up high on a jam, Andre then went off. I think I saw the Mortal Kombat "FINISH HIM!!" to pop up and Johnson to unleash a Fatality. DAMN!!

acksman:

Here a link to the fight. Probably will disappear fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGLa8VSoxIw They did not show the second part with the two teams coming out.

jakncoke:

haha cortland is a fucking bitch

Spectral Glider:

Awesome, Finnegan getting slugged, he's such a fucking cock.

Striker:

Cortland was a bitch in the Giants game too. Dirty player.

Zaraki_Kenpachi:

Exactly, they should pay Johnson for that. Finnegan is a crybaby bitch.

Dresden:

should've let AJ continue on with the beating

mYm|17|:

andre johnson made finnegan his bitch

smokeymicpot:

VIKINGS WIN. Fucking nice. Holy shit at that fight with Johnson.

DMczaf:

Get'em, AJ!

mysteriousmage09:

holy shit! link?

Nemesis121:

Need a gif of this....

Elfforkusu:

YEESSSSS!! Fantastic.

charsace:

What's going on here!?!

hermit7:

What happened to cause this?

Vyer:

Hopefully Finnegan also gets the game suspension that Andre will probably get

GQman2121:

Damn, I ran down to the Ravens tailgate for an hour and there was a fight in the Texans game? What went down?

Ikuu:

Fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtFV56cJ9F8

DMczaf:

AJ finally had enough of Finnegan's dirty ass play, so AJ kicked his ass MMA style.

Ducarmel:

woah Johnson got two punches in at least.

Zaraki_Kenpachi:

I didn't notice finnegan was clapping after getting his ass kicked. What a dumbass.

jakncoke:

Fineland reminds me of that one kid in school who always does shit to purposely annoy people cause he's a douchebag and then one day someone snaps on his ass

bigtroyjon:

He was clapping because Andre throwing punches means auto ejection.

GQman2121:

Finnegan has always been a bitch like that. Not surprising at all.

Striker:

That defines Cortland pretty well.

Vyer:

He was also smiling and laughing at first because he thought only AJ got ejected. Then he hung around and argued for a while, then was waving at the crowd while they booed him out. Lol

Equus Bellator Apex:

So can we all agree that Cortland Finnegan is fucking punk, that deserves to get his ass kicked.

Zaraki_Kenpachi:

But the dipshit got ejected too. That's why it's funny. I know it won't happen but I hope Finnegan gets a longer suspension for starting shit yet again.

Ripclawe:

KilledByBill:

Has the Andre Johnson fine donation fund been setup yet? Good when he landed those two hay-makers on Fineagain it was a thing of beauty.

Talon-:

Colts and Jags players will pay for the entire fine.

Tamanon:

Now, here's hoping Finnegan is suspended for next week's game and that Rusty Smith is still the QB.

The M.O.B:

I don't think Finnegan got a single clean punch off, Andre had like 2-3 good head shots. Probably just a 50k fine for each. And don't worry about losing, Titans are now in full Tank-as-much-as-possible mode, so maybe we can get VY 2.0 AKA Cam Newton. ............I hate this season.

Sumidor:

I've always liked Andre Johnson.. But after today, he's my hero.

Cooter:

I second that.

Smokey:

Just got back from the Texans game , GOD DAMN Andre Johnson put some stingers on Finnegan Had all of reliant stadium wired up for the rest of the game that shit was wild

DeaconKnowledge:

Good. About time somebody punched Finnegan in the mouth. Dudes an asshole.

Smokey:

Agreed, it was much overdue. Finnegan always tries to be slick when the Texans/Titans play, but still..AJ put hands on em like he should've a long time ago.

From one website, I will probably post some from another site, then from twitter when I get a chance tomorrow. Love the reaction, the posts above were on a site that's about as diverse as you'll get when it comes to football. There are fans of every team there, so the reaction is mostly from non-Texans fans.
