20921 <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>The NFL is back, college football is in full swing, and my lip is quivering as I type this. It's been so long. Too long. Should we <em>hug it out?</em> Is there a better time of year? With that said, my season as a fan appears to have ended early with the Texans 24-7 loss to the Jets. At home. Against a rookie head coach. Against a rookie quarterback.&nbsp; <strong>John McClain </strong>of the <em>Houston Chronicle </em>called the Texans performance their worst. Ever.</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.chron.com/nfl/2009/09/this_stinker_worst_in_texans_h.html">http://blogs.chron.com/nfl/2009/09/this_stinker_worst_in_texans_h.html</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <hr /> </p> <p><strong>On The Mark</strong></p> <p>On the flip side, <strong>Mark Sanchez </strong>was great. Our own <strong>Trent Dilfer </strong>said in many ways Sanchez's debut was better than <strong>Matt Ryan's </strong>last season. Here's what <strong>Bob Glauber </strong>of <em>New York Newsday </em>thought.</p> <p><a href="http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/glauber-s-nfl-hot-reads-1.811959/mark-sanchez-an-early-review-1.1444015">http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/glauber-s-nfl-hot-reads-1.811959/mark-sanchez-an-early-review-1.1444015</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <hr /> </p> <p><strong>Child Please</strong></p> <p>Most ridiculous finish of the Week 1 was in the <strong>Broncos-Bengals </strong>game. When <strong>Brandon Stokely </strong>was running along the goal line before scoring, was I the only one that thought he stole that move from the <strong><em>Madden </em></strong>video game? That's a classic move I've done and had done to me to waste time off the clock.&nbsp; By the way, rough weekend for most football fans in Ohio huh? Buckeyes, Bengals, Browns yikes.</p> <p> <hr /> </p> <p><strong>Stay Thirsty My Friends</strong></p> <p>When <strong>Juan Manuel Marquez </strong>takes on <strong>Floyd Mayweather </strong>September 19th, he can take solace in the fact that he's done everything he can to be in the best shape of his life. Including, drinking his own urine. I haven't screamed that loud watching something on tv since I saw <em>The </em>Excorcist&nbsp;for the first time when I was 15 years old. Marquez's unique training diet was shown on <strong>HBO's 24/7.&nbsp; </strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/columnists/john_whisler/59145302.html"></a></p> true 2009-09-13T22:53:23Z 94161 0 2009-09-13T22:53:23Z
