- The Texans beat Jacksonville by 20 points a very rare occurence in the 70 games so far. It was the fewest points allowed in 24 games. Andre Johnson is an elite receiver and he's way out front of the league with his sick numbers. They were a plus 2 on the turnover ledger and that's the surest way to claim victory. Here's your crazy stat on David Carr. With ten games to go he's within reach of the greatest season in NFL history (at least n terms of completion percentage). Nobody expects this to keep up but the following list still looks pretty good.Highest Completion Percentage, Season (Qualifiers)
70.55 Ken Anderson, Cincinnati, 1982 (309 attempts-218 completions)
70.34 David Carr, Houston, 2006 (172-121)
70.33 Sammy Baugh, Washington, 1945 (182-128)
70.28 Steve Young, San Francisco, 1994 (461-324)
- Now on to the Kenny Rogers controversy. It's not a scnadal yet, but it's getting close. Here's a sampling from some of baseball's best columnists.
Drew Sharp, who's been covering Rogers all season. He's with the gambler.
Mitch Albom, also of the Free Press, treats the whole incident as a mere side note.
Out in LA, Bill Plaschke is vey skeptical about the former Ranger, Yankee, Athletic and Twin.
The New York Times actually gives you both sides, conspiracy theorists abound.
- You see the end of the Chicago Marathon. That's right a marathon referenced here on the blog - so it must be good.

To bad no one in Austin or SA saw the game because the program directors there chose not to show the game. In Austin, keye program director, Gary a Vinson chose to show the Titans game. My life mission now is to make his life a living nightmare.
