    Stay within the system
    Strengthen the "core", not the peripherals
    No celebrating on field
    No talking to the media
    Getchyer your shoes off before you come in the house
    Put a coaster under that drink
    Dont over-glamourize the "flashy" position

    Got it.

    Isn't MJD going to hold out for a new contract this season?

    It's weird. They made a big deal out of how many yards MJD accumulated this past season, but I had him on my fantasy team all year and remember being largely disappointed most weeks. I guess it was because he didn't have near as many TDs as I was hoping. Hope he gets more touchdowns this season (except against Houston) since he is my keeper in the keeper league.

    And as for Andre, to me, most of these players are voting on the best PLAYERS of the year, not who accumulated the best stats, though there is certainly a correlation between the two. But Andre didn't have ~30 catches because he wasn't any good, but because he was hurt. Players recognize that had he been healthy he would have had another dominant year, so that's why he is up there in the rankings. I'm cool with that.

    Hell yeah, Andre got in based on respect for what he's done up to this point. Hope he can go out and prove it again this year.

    I thought it was odd that they didn't show the beastly AJ TD from a couple years ago against the Cardinals. The one where he catches the ball, runs straight into a LB who puts his head down AND FREAKING BOUNCES OFF HIM. A linebacker. Then AJ heads upfield and pushes his way across into the endzone with DBs trying to pull him down. It was maybe the most amazing play I have ever seen from a WR. And since they wouldn't have a great deal of footage from AJ from last season to show due to injuries, I thought for certain they'd put that up there and let one of the players comment on it. Oh well.

    for such an amazing play, it was a horrible call by Vandermeer. I really wish they would replace him, he's the worst

    What more out of that call did you want? He wasn't Joe Buck-ing it or anything.

    Andre at 15 is cool hell be top 3 in receiving yards and catches this yr as long as he doesnt miss more than 3 games. Some of u guys forget that his avg yards per game is the highest in league history and he has over 700 catches so it's not some small sample. Arian foster on the other hand is the best back in football ad should be top 5 on this list the guy is the same size as Peterson can run all day and score like him but he catches a lot more passes an get way more yards on the receiving end correct me if I'm wrong but Arian has more receiving yards in 30 games then ap has in his whole career which I think is 64 games plus at this pace he will have more yards rushing an more Tds than AP by game 64 Arian is the better back numbers don't lie and that's why Andre is still the 2nd best receiver, still numbers dnt lie. use his first three games last yr he was on pace for 1600 yards and 12 Tds give me a break that dre isn't still a boss we dnt play football guys dre is still the man. It's not like dre would have slowed down thru the yr his numbers show that if he plays 16 games he will get 1500 yards a season his avg is like 94 ypg in his 9 yr career u boys r sleeping on the beast hes awake and he's gonna kick some seriouse ass this yr. dude wants to be better than Jerry rice he knows he still has a lot of work to do to get those numbers unless he tears something I dnt see dre slowing down in the next 4 yrs.

    I agree. He's suppose to be painting a visual picture and he did not do that play justice. That was one of the most amazing effort plays I have ever seen and he did nothing to describe it, all he said was he "back peddled his way in". Imagine if you didn't get to watch the game and had to listen to it on the radio. Is Andre Johnson catching the ball, then laying the wood down with his shoulder and completely upending a guy followed by barreling through another guy for 5 yards the picture you see from Vandermeer's call? Not even close. That would have been an adequate call for TV but not play by play radio.

    Yep, I'm a moron. I was giving waaaaaaay too much credence to 2011. I still maintain AJ ranking 15th is silly; ranking him 10 slots ahead of Arian Foster is even sillier.

    What do I owe?
