Nothing illuminating today... I'm anxious for training camp to start but at the same time I do love these long summer days.

OUTSIDE THE STABLE
Around the League

John McClain (Sporting News) states the obvious about the Texans
Vito Stellino (Florida Times-Union) profiles former Cal standout and all-around good guy Tyson Alualu; the Jaguars let go of veteran DE Reggie Hayward
Jim Wyatt (The Tennessean) It looks like the Titans will come to an interim agreement with Chris Johnson
Jack Betcha (National Football Post) profiles the leading women in the business

From the comedy files: Dan Ferdinand offers a perspective on the Texans' outlook (I included this not because the comedy is that Ferdinand picks the Texans to win the AFC South, but his analysis of the impact of Cushing's suspension)

lol those poor Texans

Those poor, poor, pooooooooor Texans. The most overhyped and yet underwhelming team in the league. I swear they’re EVERY sports writers sexy preseason pick for the playoffs. Maybe if Kubiak spent as much time coaching them as he did fixing his hair, they’d do okay.

Yep

According to the pundits, the colts would be lucky to get a wild card in our division, and Titans and the Texans would battle it out, and even the jags were picked to be ahead of the the colts

So much for predictions…

Titans still have VY, and Texans still can’t hang together to come up with those tough wins.

It will be hard for either of those teams to do much in the post season, or even get there until that changes

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

LB...

Your title makes me want to cry… I’m going crazy. Football is my heroin, I’m not doing too well. Alas, I have a few games on my DVR… YAY!

Thanks to MarkFive05 I have a new theme video that I hope you all will remember me by: BAM BAM

I know

I sat there last night for a solid 20 minutes trying to figure out a better title, but either writer’s block, or pure exhaustion prevented me from coming up with something clever. Sorry!!

How can you not love a team that does this?
