While we're on the topic of Texas football, I heard some horseshit on the radio last night that the Titans were retiring Warren Moon's jersey.
My issues: 1) Warren Moon never played for the Titans, or in Tennessee for that matter.
2) Yes, Titans owner Bud Adams moved the franchise to TN from Houston, but he signed a deal to officially retire the name "Oilers" and leave it with the city of Houston.
3) Bud Adams is a turd. (In Houston this counts as a valid argument, much like the Cleveland & Art Modell and Baltimore & Robert Irsay relationships.)
Next thing you'll hear is that the Titans will also retire Earl Campbell's number, Bum Phillip's cowboy hat, and Elvis' fried peanut butter & banana sandwich.
First, who would've thought that first attempt on T.O.'s life would be made by himself? I mean, the odds of that are staggering. The line in Vegas would have been approximately 1/Eleventy Billion.
Also, I'm proud to say that having lived in this awful place about as long as T.O., he was the first to cave under the unrelenting awfulness of this place and attempt to end himself. It makes me happy to know that I've lasted longer than someone making shitload of money and playing football as a job. However, it could be more sad that I'm still under the delusion that waking up every morning here is better than not.
I thought Dallas was a really nice place to live, what with the excruitating hot temperatures, horrible drivers and endless traffic, my inability to understand the language (whether Texan-speak or actual Spanish), more "access" roads than actual freeways, and it being the home of the Cowboys.

Something tells me he won't be at the Cowboys/Eagles game next weekend in Philly.
I could fire off a couple of off-color jokes here regarind TO and the looney bin, but let's just let TO get help first.
"regarind"...hmm, need to drink more coffee in the morning.
Meant to say "regarding".
Agreed. Actual mental illness is one of the few things QC won't joke about.
Unless it was John L. Smith. 'Cause we're only human.
Chad has already sent me an instant message: Wow, dude, don't go to Dallas, it must be *that* bad.
Apparently my friends are less encumbered by things like "decency" than yours. :)
The empirical evidence certainly seems to suggest it, doesn't it?
Totally unrelated fun:

Being a native Houstonian I can honestly say that Dallas really is that bad, but that's more of a big city pissing match rivalry thing. :)

A few things.

What's not to love?
