HEY! YOU'RE FIRED!
Not really. Rafer Alston is out. Aaron Brooks is in. Come Rockets let's get a win!
There is a horrible cheer for everyone who liked to bash on Skip. I personally liked Alston, except for the ill-advised tear-drop shots. It was absolutely not a trade I expected. Let's see what happens with AB in control. I will love the Rockets no matter what they do.

Maniacally Bold Bowl Prediction!
Hell Yes, it's championship Sunday. By the ten o'clock news we will know the teams that will meet in superbowl 43 ( I don't know that roman numeral stuff). I'm going give my reason's why each team will win and why each team will not win.
Pittsburgh-winning formula-
The best defense in the NFL, will no doubt help the team to victory today. They also draw a Rookie in Joe Flacco, who is trying to become the first rookie ever to lead his team to a superbowl. Their qb Big Ben Rothlisburger has been there and knows what it takes to lead a team to a superbowl. The Steelers also have a healthy running game for the first time in several weeks.
Pitt- sure to lose- Big Ben is nursing a concussion and The second best defense in the NFL knows it. The last 2 games were decided by a total of like 6points, that last one being controversial on a reviewed call that could have went either direction.
Baltimore- winning formula-
This team is no doubt the toughest in the league, today's game will be a blood bath. The Ravens, I think, feel they have something to prove. The last 2 games were very close and They felt they were dealt a bad hand with the reviewed call on the Santonio Holmes TD. Any team with ED Reed and Ray Lewis can win any game.
Balt- sure to lose- Rookie QB Joe Flacco has to face the best defense in football on their home field. If Flacco is forced to get one dimensional, he will be in for a long day and his linemen will be peeling him up off the frozen turf.
Arizona- winning formula-
Kurt Warner one football's best ever high scoring, ball slinging, big game QBs. Couple that one the league's best receiving twosomes in Fitzgerald and Boldin. Even if Boldin sits, Fitzgerald was Andre Johnson like against the Panthers and they knew the ball was coming his way. The Cards definitely have something to prove and they are at home.
Arizona-sure to lose-Donavon Mcnabb is not chopped liver, and is playing in his fifth NFC championship game. If this game becomes a shootout, which it will, the Eagles Pass Defense is just better.
Philadelphia- winning formula-
As I mentioned before, Donavon Mcnabb is due. Fifth champ game and he knows what it takes to win. The Eagles have been literally unbeatable since the game after D Mac was benched. They have rallied behind their QB and he will get his due respect.
Philly- sure to lose- See Arizona winning formula........Warner, Fitzgerald, Boldin, James....at home.
Texanmaniac's Prediction.........Philadelphia and Baltimore advance to the Superbowl.

The Maniac's Retrospect!
It is Monday December 29, 2008 the day after the last Texans game of the season, I'm telling you this just to show that what you are about to read is completely improve, I have nothing prepared.
Let's Begin:
The Texans ended the season yesterday, with an impressive win over the Chigaco Bears. Before this season I ran down the schedule game by game and predicted a 10-6 season, which included a playoff appearence and a playoff win. http://houstonsportsrule.blogspot.com/2008/07/texans-2008.html
Well, The Texans had to win yesterday just to get to 8-8. So they fell short of the playoffs, but this team showed me some things both good and bad.
Matt Schaub- let's start with the team leader. Matt put all and I mean ALL qb controversy away. Yes, he has moments of David Carr, like play,but the dude is for real. Schaub is learning from his mistakes, and he's getting very close to being very, very good. He steps up when the plate gets hot, and handles pressure very well. During the Pitt. game, I remember thinking " He looks just like Carr, dropping before he's hit and lying on the ground for long periods of time after a hit". I think he had a concussion, he just looked way out of place. Against the Oilers...... I mean Titans, at home, I remember thinking, " Matt's got his game face on! He made it a point to jump up quickly after he was hit. I'm glad that I'm going get to root for this guy for years to come.
Sage- He proved that he is a backup qb and nothing more.
The offensive line- The unit is starting to gel, and I think that they will only get better. Like Schaub, they have "Capers era" type plays, but have shown the ability to protect well. I'll predict under 20 sacks allowed next season.
Steve "Clean" Slaton- I love that man, not scared to admit a man crush on #20. He finished the year leading all rookie running backs in total yards. I hope he gets some kind of rookie award. As the offensive line gets better, so will Steve Slaton.
Mario- I think I had his sack over/under at 15, he only had 12. Get him another pass rusher and holding calls on the opponents and I will put the over/under at 20. I don't care what your true feelings are about SuperMario,but 90 is greater than 25 and 10 combined!
Defensive Line- We need a big block eating tackle, then maybe something good about this unit. Okoye will be better,but overall the unit needs work.
Secondary- I'm not overly concerned with this bunch. I think with another pass rusher and experience that the Defensive backs will be decent, not real good, but decent.
Demeco Ryans- played hurt nearly all season, I full expect him to regain his probowl type play next season.
The rest of the Linebackers- Adibi and Diles will be great next year, watch and see.
Andre Johnson- The best reciever in football, on the planet, period.
Overall- I expect some changes with The Texans,but not drastic changes. Richard Smith may or may not be fired, neither would surprise me.
This team is growing and learning and I can only hope that a slow, but steady progression only means a lengthy run as an elite team.
If you had asked me on that sunday just after Rosencopter, and the Texans fell to 0-4, would I take an 8-4 record for the rest of the season, I would've given a resounding HELL YES!!
8-8 wasn't what Texans fans wanted, but I doubt anybody would've wanted 7-9 either.
GO TEXANS!!!!

Rockets!!
The NBA season is upon us, and although I won't pay a whole lot of attention until April, I'm very excited about our Rockets. I'm first and foremost a Texans fan followed by Astros and Rockets. When Football ends, I get real interested in college basketball, because I love filling out Brackets for March Madness. By That Time the Baseball season is getting ready to get rolling and NBA is getting interesting.
I will be keeping daily tabs on the Rockets, just not complete game watching until March or April. I fully expect the Rockets to win around 60+ games. With Ron Artest now on board, this rockets team will have some grit, which will come in handy come playoffs. This team just needs to use the regular season to establish a chemistry and come playoffs they will be dangerous. Honestly I wouldn't expect anything less than a trip to the Conference Finals.
GO ROCKETS!!!

Series-ly Brad, Good Job!
Well, The World Series came and went. The only game I watched was the 3 1/2 inning finale, which, was 1 1/2 hours of the most exciting baseball I had seen on TV. I was rooting for the Rays, mainly because they are the small market team and I'm sick of the "Yanksox" Teams always winning, and because a buddy of mine if from Tampa.
Let me say this about Brad" lights out- the light went out-lights out again" Lidge. I was pissed and very happy for him at the same time on the final strikeout of the Series. I wanted the batter to blast one in crowd and tie the game and I wanted Bradley to strike him out at the same time. It's very good for Lidge that he has found his groove again, he deserves it after all he went through in Houston. He's just lucky Albert Pujols doesn't play for the Rays.

Perfect Ending
Well, my friends the Astros season ended without a trip to the post season, but it ended with a series win. As an Astros fan I could not have been happier, given how this season went.
They kept the end of the season interesting, by being the hottest team in baseball since the all-star break giving us hope going into 2009. If the Stros had made the post season they may have made some noise, but just enough to frustrate fans. When Carlos Lee comes back, there is no doubt in my mind that the offense will be good. Even without El Caballo, the offense got the excitement back this season.
I honestly think, if Uncle Drayton will do what it takes to get a C.C. Sabathia or Jake Pevey, or Ben Sheets they will contend in '09. If we learned anything about this Astros team, it's that they are the same in the fact, we cannot give up on them. Despite, the poor play in the middle of the summer, they still had a chance to reach the playoffs and finished well above .500.
Just think, They were swept by bad teams in the Orioles, Pirates, and Marlins. If they win just one game in those series, then we are watching MLB in October with the Stros playing.
Puma will be back, Lee will be back and the Houston Astros will contend in 2009!
Now we have the Texans. I love football and I know that this season is looking bleek, but DAMMNIT, I'm glad we have a football team!
