Judaaaaaasssssssss!
The first time I saw the hit on Tim Tebow I cringed. I looked away from the screen. My stomach morphed into Jello and I considered turning off the TV and calling it a night. The shoulder to the chest, the perfect follow through tackle, the back of the head to the knee, OH SHIT!… he has his arms raised like he’s headed for the light. (Kind of like the guy on the right in this incredible double KO)
Now, two week later, ESPN plays the following loop every time they talk about Tim Tebow: Massive hit from angle #1, massive hit from angle #2, massive hit from angle #3, Urban Meyer hovering over Tebow, Tebow Christ on the cart, Tebow in the ambulance. Since the World Wide Leader talks about the BCS Lord and Savior roughly eight times and hour that means I’ve watched the event roughly 4,032 times. To say the least I’m desensitized:
I could watch that video all day long. It’s like a puppies, shooting stars and Scotch all rolled up into a single, minute and a half video. The only thing I can ask is that no one ever send me the link to a snuff film. By previous precedent I would only be horrified for roughly five minutes before I started reveling in the act (… back and to the left).
Yeah, so in case you missed it, Florida and LSU have a rather big game coming up on Saturday and the former superman, now concussed Tim Tebow may or not play. STAY TUNED!! Oh, and watch that video a couple more times…
On to the rest of your Houston sports updates:
ASTROS – So much for wiping the slate clean and starting anew. The Astros have agreed to extend their option with Brian Moehler. Let’s clarify: The 8-12, 5.27 ERA, Moehler will get a one year extension for three million dollars. Oh yeah, and he’s 37 years old and just had surgery to repair a torn tendon. Sweet. Shore up that starting pitching, ‘Stros. You’re off to a good start.
KEVIN KOLB – Now that Kolb has “proved” himself over two starts it seems that everyone’s beginning to soften up on FaF’s Chosen One. ProFootballWeekly has a Reconsidering Kolb’s Future with Eagles feature. I still don’t understand this… Can someone please convince me that another two years on the bench behind the oft injured McQuestionable is actually a good thing? Is there someone out there that knows that Kolb isn’t going to be pursued (a la Matt Cassel) this off season? As much as I want KK to stay on the Iggles (so I continue to have an excuse to write about them) I just don’t think that Andy Reid’s ever going to move on passed his affinity for McNabb.
UNIVERSITY of HOUSTON – Coach Sumlin and Case Keenum are saying all the right things heading into the game against Mississippi State. The ever prescient THE Donkey Show Coordinator even made a prediction about the game (which I refuse to print) in favor of the Cougars. Now that’s confidence. Which, only leads us to two questions: Are you going to be pissed if I’m too lazy to write an Opponent Essentials and where is everyone watching the game on Saturday?
ROCKETS(?) – Clyde Drexler will never coach the Rockets. Not because his “calendar is bursting” as this article helpfully points out (because Dancing with the Stars, Golf, Kids and one college football game is so fucking taxing). The incestuous relationship that Houston has with its coaches needs to stop. Bringing in the Drexler Shit Storm if/when Adelman retires is pretty much the worst idea that I’ve heard since people started mentioning Biggio’s name for the position of manager for the Astros.

“Are you going to be pissed if I’m too lazy to write an Opponent Essentials and where is everyone watching the game on Saturday?”
No, just disappointed. Where is everyone watching the game on Sat? I’ll prolly head up to my watering hole after the game to celebrate/cry and wolf down a rancor (bacon cheezeburger). Those guys gave me some epic shit on Sunday, btw.
No Opponent Essentials? Really? Bandwagoners.
Ok, ok… I get the point. I will do the O.E. (Third Ward style).
Send me what you got for the Opponent Essentials and I will oblige you.
Where’d my comment go?
Got put in spam for some reason…. I fixed it.
Oh…that probably WAS the right place for it after all.
You can do an OE, but it’s not like anyone in Mississippi could read it anyway. That would require A) them to be literate B) them to be able to afford a computer.
It’s like a deaf person going to ACL. But I guess even ACL provides sign language interpreters who dance to the songs while signing to let the deaf people know its music
On a week when we could actually get some people to come to the board and engage in verbal fistacuffs? Our SEC game and you’re not gonna start shit?!!! Weak Sauce. After not a single miner fan even showed last week? MSU should be easy. Their a bunch of racist hillbillies whose hopes and dreams lay on the shoulders of a running back named Mason Dixon. It’s poetic irony.

Seeing the Florida fans nearly shit themselves is priceless. Nasty hit…great fan reaction.
I worry about what happens if Tebow does come back and play this week. Either way I don’t think it’s going to be the hero performance that ESPN is pushing.
