Welcome to the My Monkey Cage

My weekly rants on the Houston Texans are starting.  I don't even know what to title this one but Preseason Rant.  Lame I know.

College football season starts off with a bang this Thursday with #15 Pitt vs. Utah, Saturday with #24 Oregon St. vs. #6 TCU and Monday night's #3 Boise St. vs. #10 Virgina Tech.

My Houston Cougars open up against the Texas St. Bobcats.  I'll be there with a few friends.
As refresher, highlights from last year's opener.

It's only preseason but my favorite play.  Listen to the annoucers.  Why did Texans throw it across the field...Cause they can.  Brilliant.

Finally in keeping with my Darth Vader LOLs...even though I think Robot Chicken is garbage, this is funny.

So much controversy this week I can't help but give my quick takes two subject: California's Prop 8 and the Ground Zero Mosque.

I got an email from someone who pointed out something I wrote that was some what offensive, not to him, but to a loved one.  I don't apologize for my opinion but I do apologize for my offensive and strong language.

Interesting article in the Houston Chronicle about an effort to preserve state court records and history.  As a student of history, I'd love to see Texas preserve as much as possible.  I write more details about this exciting idea in Effort To Preserve Texas State Records.

P.S. - Team USA looked slow and lazy against Brazil in a 2-0 loss.  If coach Bob Bradley is coaching for a new contract, he can't let his team go out and give up early leads.  That defense needs to toughen up.

The Court trying former Liberian president Charles Taylor for crimes against humanity compelled Naomi Campbell to testify.  In reading about her testimony I realized she is missing a soul.  I give more thoughts on her testimony and Naomi Campbell's Soul-less Existence.

My war with AT&T Wireless continues.  I posted letter I sent to AT&T.

I'm not a big fan on Bleacher Report.  Nothing really original or thought provoking on the website.  Seems like they do enjoy making lists though. Most of them are some kind of babe list of hot athletes or athletes wives/girlfriends.  They actually posted a good one in the Top 50 ESPN Commercials.

A typical Cowboy fan - no class.  Some gold digging blond let's her dog piss all over a wheelchair bound old man because he is a Redskins fan.

Long time no updates.  Been busy working and playing.  I've been spending my down time out of town.  Last week was Austion.

I decided to chronicle my on going war with AT&T Wireless.  I split the post into two entries.  Continue reading at the AT&T Wireless Saga Part 1 and AT&T Wireless Saga Part 2.
