Texans won this game. Really, they did. 'Eff your precious "official box scores" and "NFL standings" Houston Texans: 2-9. Anyone else wonder why our guy didn't signal for a fair catch on the final onside kick? The ball never touched the dirt, and it traveled more than 10 yards.. he could have signaled fair catch (I think).. game over, Texans win.
there's no such thing as "fair catch" on a kickoff, at least that's my understanding. if the receiving team lets the ball bounce into the endzone and kicking team recovers, it's a TD for the kicking team.

That's more harrowing than seeing Kaman at the foot of your bed. Although not by much. Week 13 RAVENS (-8) over Texans Did you see "Survivor" last night? Lydia the Fishmonger hadn't eaten for like 4 weeks, so they played the "Auction Game" and gave everyone like $400 to spend ... and she ended up spending $120 on a mosquito net and got outbid for every food item, as well as the immunity hint (even though she was definitely getting voted off within the next two shows). Anyway, if you look closely at her expression during the auction, I swear, she's making the Dom Capers Face for like 5 straight minutes. That's one for the ages.
