The Goat Pen

Quick question...is 12-4 the best regular season record in the history of Houston pro football

Yes. The 1993 Oiler team that shitted itself in the second half playoff game versus the Chiefs. Buddy decided to go bitchass for some reason on defense.

Here's the article on Haley's ouster:

One of these teams needs to hire Mike Sherman for at least $2.2 million

didn't Dante Pastorini's Oilers win 12 games once?

they were the 2nd best team in football for 2 straight seasons

Nope. Best record during the Luv Ya Blue era was 11-5 (1979 and 1980).

And why isn't this surprising? Ho fucking hum. At some point, I expect one of the coaches to get injured.

Dolphins coach fired

Might as well fire Spagnuolo and complete the trifecta.

congrats hizzy=- finally got the gooseegg changed to a one. Hope you guys pull an upset the first round ==NE/Pitt/or balt will be awfully tough=--I'd hope for NE --no defense

wtf is indy doing anyway--3 c0aches with 12 wins between them are unemployed meanwhile our loser 0-13 coach still has a job

Who knows? Caldwell looks so placid that they may have fired him already and can't even be sure if he's aware of it. He may be roaming the sidelines simply due to management not being sure he's aware that he's been canned.

plausible

Well, I am sure he will have that same reaction on his face either way.

Finally made it into the playoffs of my fantasy league. It is for zero money. I am too happy about this considering its for a modicum of bragging rights. Needed the last regular season game to clinch the last spot in the playoffs. MJDEEEEEEEEEE!

I am in our semifinals. I was down two heading into MNF. The only player involved for either team was my kicker, which is the guy from Seattle. I have had shitty luck with kickers all year and knew that a kicker would fuck me yet again (I had Vinaterri for a while), but that bastard put up 15 last night.

I'm the 6 seed in our money league playing the 3 seed this week. poor bastard I'm playing has demarco murray/mcfadden/forte/roetlhesberger/greg jennings on his team.

I'm sure he'll beat me as he has td jesus tebow as his backup qb

The Mile High Messiah

My wide receivers have tanked this year .I got stuck with Austin, Jackson (screw you and your hold out contract) and Boldin.
So I grabbed Burress, Torrey Smith, and then jumped on the Tebow wagon with Decker and Thomas. I also drafted McGahee.

I figured they wouldn't score alot of points but they'd be good for a solid 8-10 point showing each week.

That plan has panned out.

damn, I thought I missed the playoffs but I mistakenly went to my fantasy league link (which is just above the link for this place in my bookmarks) and realized that i'm in! good thing, too, since I had to make 2 lineup changes. this isn't a money league but at least I can make up for seeing my 2-year run in fantasy baseball end this year.

i just need Andre Johnson's punk ass to come back with a vengeance.
