    But that wasn't as much a **** up as it was getting nailed by one of the greatest sluggers in the game. And Lidge, to that point, was a huge contributor.

    Jones got paid $10M this summer and can't even contribute as a receiver.

    The Luther Head analogy is pretty good - everyone hoped he might turn into a minor star at first, but it's become painfully apparent that they are below average backups.

    "I should have just let it roll," said Jacoby Jones on his muffed punt that led to Ravens TD. "Of course I'm upset about. It's a turnover."

    The poor guy appears to be a hopeless dufus, I feel for him because he is a superior athlete, just can't get his head together. Needs to go. And please take Jackson on the way out the door. The book should be closed on these projects. Let some other team continue the experiment. I really don't want to see either in Texan uniforms again.

    Not really Buckner was 25 years ago and is known amongst the most casual baseball fans.

    Jacoby messed up but outside of Houston it's already forgotten...

    I've always been critical of nfl star kjax for having the zoolander complex and not being able to turn his head to look for the ball. But today, he impressed me. There still is hope for him. Obviously, this doesn't mean I don't want the texans to look for another awesome cb to pair up with joseph. But in today's nfl we will need a lot of man power at that position. Joseph/BrandonCarr/Jackson/Mccain/harris.:grin:

    19.2/8.4/7.6...you can quibble over damn near but I think the point was he played pretty well. Far removed from goat status.
