Gee, The Texans Are Sure Running A Clean Program In Houston, Huh?

The only difference between the Texans and every other franchise is that their players are more careless about timing and masking. That’s why they have two guys suspended.

In my experience Texans fans are fairly similar to us Colts fans. They’ll likely say, “God damn it, Duane” and be embarassed. Only a few will claim bullshit and swear noone on the Texans could ever do any wrong.

That way he would be out when they play us again?

Maybe get to see a Matt Schaub Hellicopter ala Sage Rosenfels.

because of the dominance of the Texans’ O-Line. I think the Colts’ WRs needed to have their hands inspected for Crisco, and their own O-Line wasn’t healthy.

Still, I agree that the entire team ought to be subject to a test now.

If you love to read blindly passionate and naively loyal blogs; if your entertained by ridiculous assertions and fascinated by the inability to lose with grace, this is a must read.

The only thing that would make this more engrossing would be if a Colt were to slip up on one of these screenings, and BBS would have to try and defend it.

is that you say..

If I’m Roger Goodell, I have the whole Texans team ‘randomly’ tested for PEDs

when PEDs is always randomly tested through out the season. Obviously the NFL does want to punish PED users but not illegal street drugs. They only get tested for that once a year. So your beloved Colts could be using anything from Marijuana to Methamphetamine but as long as they can go a month w/o it during the summer no one knows. I am not saying that Cushing and Brown are without blame, but to comeout and say they are JUICING every time is retarded when they don’t get popped for actual roids. Remember PEDs is a broad spectrum not just steroids!

“Side note: The reason the Colts lost in Week One was because of the Texans’ ability to dominate the line of scrimmage on offense. Duane Brown, now a known cheater, is a pretty important o-lineman for Houston. He was likely juiced for that game. Just sayin’.”

This is also a little too instigative. As much as I hate to admit or even think about this, the fact remains that Houston had 4 other linemen, plus a fullback and at times a tight end there as well who aren’t accused of anything. They still let our team have it, and oftentimes up the middle or to the right as well, which are situations where overcoming the left tackle doesn’t matter as much. It’s too much of an oversimplification to draw such a direct distinction between the PED use and the play of both team’s lines.

Look, the loss left an awful taste in my mouth. I hated it. I was pissed off enough to ignore football news for an entire week. But only concentrating on PEDs unnecessarily limits the focus to that single topic, and ignores other elements of that game – such as linebacker gap control – which were even more important to that specific game than any one individual’s actions.

I don’t want PEDs in the sport either. That said, statements like the one I’m quoting do not help that cause.

The reason the Colts lost in Week One was because of the Texans’ ability to dominate the line of scrimmage on offense.

to that i say this.

i would say it was due more to the fact that p8tun got his ass knocked around quite a bit. but that’s just my humble opinion.

I have a keyboard and internetz! I’m important. Roger Goodell made a blanket statement and I was in the same room!

Seriously, this “article” cannot be real. Am I on The Onion? I am aren’t I?

What drivel. Now I have migraine after suffering through this garbage.

Or does he just put up this nonsense to get more hits on the website? Does anyone here have his email address?

BBS,

You are a coward and a poor excuse for a fan. Making up garbage to rile up a fan base on a site like this is very bush league. I would expect it from an average uneducated fan, but not from a lead writer on SB Nation. You sir are a joke to your city and football team. I hope you finally get a real job interview and you shit yourself walking up the front steps. That would be some excellent Karma.

I’m including baseball in this as well. It’s just mind-blowing.

I’m firmly in the camp of “I don’t really care.” when it comes to most supplements. We’re seeing bans from what amounts to very technical violations, and often, fairly innocent ones. Few of the bans seem to be for scheduled drug offenses (except the pot ones, which also baffle me a bit). Approved lists make the mistakes seem foolish, but there’s a fair amount of hiding the ball going on, too.

How a league that does so little to protect the health of the players AFTER they leave the game, when their bodies really begin to break down, can take such a Holier-Than-Thou line when it comes to supplements is astonishing to me.

The NFL’s hypocrisy is truly breathtaking. Let’s worry about a diuretic effect in a legal product! Let’s suspend players for that, and wring our hands about what bad guys they are! But the guys who die in utter, befuddled, misery because of their multiple concussions? The NFL really doesn’t want to talk about that much.

The WADA crusade, which permeates all sports, can boast such proud moments as taking away a teen girl’s gold medal because she took over the counter cold medicine with a “banned substance”, ie decongestant, AFTER her winning performance. I feel much safer knowing the anti-doping vigilantes are at work.
