HOUSTON TEXANS 2011 DIVISION WINNERS

> Manning having surgery. Out for at least four months.
This is not good for the NFL. It's not good for the Texans. It's not
good for the Patriots, who have been the marquee matchup with the
Colts since Jeezuz walked the earth. IMO, only terrified (of Manning)
losers are glad to see him go. Any real fan of the sport, or any real
Texans fan has to feel a huge let down over this because the level of
competition has been hurt. The guy is a straight up great player and
gifted leader, and I can't see this as good for any fan of the sport.
There are fans who are not fans of the sport, though. I'm afraid
their IQ isn't able to fill a thimble and they will be dancing in the
streets down in Houston.
Sigh ... do we really think sports fantasies are bigger than life?

remember, some other guy had to lose his job before brady and manning
got theirs... this game ends for everybody. all that means is new
stars are born and the ballance of power between rivals constantly
shifts. it makes for a better sport.

& gave one away.
The Texans aren't afraid of Manning their problem is with the other 14
games they play.

all he said was the Dolts are fucked without Manning, so spare us your
holier than thou sanctimonious bullshit.
the Dolts built their entire offense around Manning and without him they are
doomed.

Under his new contract if he never plays another down in his life he still gets paid $55 million.
And he signed that after he was injured.
(If I was him I'd be thinking about that, "$55 million for nothing ... Maybe this pain will never go away, who could say otherwise?")

two in the universe. It's not my fault you talk about football
injuries as if they are entertainment or Christmas presents.

I think I get that point, not that you were trying to be sanctimonious
or anything.

I don't know how you can say that about a venerable star of the NFL.
It's like watching Joe Montana sitting on the sidelines against the
Bills in the driving rain with a concussion. I mean how can you watch
that and feel like it's good for the NFL? Sure, it's his time to go,
I get that point, but who said they wanted him to go at all?

As would be the Patsies without Marsha.

I agree completely...anytime a great player leaves the game prematurely it
is a loss to the game. Even though I don't like or root for the Colts..he
was very exciting to watch. I live in Central Jersey...I'm not an Eagles
fan...but I do really enjoy watching the new Vick play..because he does it
well. To me, if you are a real football fan, you can enjoy a good player no
matter who he plays for. I was at the old stadium the day Dan Marino staged
the big comeback and pulled off the fake spike deal...I was anguished by
that loss...but the football fan in me could not help but appreciate and
love what Marino could do. I enjoyed watching him play, because he was
tough, and consistent and always showed courage. If you don't get that, and
can only appreciate something YOUR team does...then you are not really a
football fan, but rather just a fan of a particular locality or color of
uniform or whatever, but not of the game. My rant, sorry.
