Always love watching a fly over with the B-2.

During the parade, there were 2 F-35's with the B-2.

Mariota just threw a TD pass to himself

the last time the Chiefs won a playoff game, Joe Montana was their QB.


someone ought to look it up, but I wonder how many players on their current roster were born then...

That would be January 16, 1994 against my Houston Oilers. Jack Pardee was the Oiler's HC, Kevin Gilbride was OC, and some dude named Buddy Ryan was the DC. Warren Moon completed another spectacular regular season by folding in the playoffs yet again (which is why I never thought Moon deserved to be in the Hall of Fame). Houston went from 12-4 to 2-14 the next year and completed their betrayal of Houston fans by slinking off to Tennessee a couple of years later.

Sad that I only just now found this article.

https://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2017-houston-texans-1798427225

The article is pretty spot-on, and the comments are hilariously on the nose:

QuoteRaj:
The saddest part of being a Texans fan isn't that our best QB ever is Matt Schaub. It's that our second best is either the five years of David Carr or the one-year stretches of either Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Hoyer.

Grant:
Our best off-season move was getting rid of Brock Osweiler, the dickhead we guaranteed $37m ($21m paid by Texans) not even 12mos ago without ever having met him. We paid $21m to a QB that Cleveland wants to cut but cant (but still just might). Jesus.

Stacy:
Our greatest win in Franchise history was our very first game, when we beat the Cowboys 19-10 thanks to Quincy Carter's cocaine habit.

Andrew:
Also it only usually takes about 1-2 games before the callers on AM radio still say we should go out and sign Vince Young.

Matthew:
Because we have arguably the most talented defense in the league, borderline Top 10 talents at WR and RB and we are destined to forever be 9-7 or worse. Also, because I actually saw people walking around town last summer wearing Brock Osweiler jerseys.

...and on, and on, and on...

I am predicting a SEC Conference team win. Bold I know but, I'll go there. Actually, I'll root for the Tide but feel like the Bulldogs will take it.

The only reason I have the game on, is so I don't have to watch another Animal Planet/Nat Geo, etc show that my wife/daughter love to watch.
