Sore Losers

I don't know any other way to express how I feel about the Texans' 13-12 victory over the Titans Sunday. I wish I could be more eloquent, but the only thing I can think of is:

F*** the Tennessee Titans.

Plain and simple -- you got beat. After reading the postgame comments -- yeath I'm talking about you Keith "Piece of Shit" Bulluck -- I'm more happy about the win and I predict the Titans will not win another game this season. Home against Pittsburgh -- bye, bye home-field advantage. Travel to Indy -- bye, bye momentum. First-round playoff game? Indy, Denver, Baltimore, New England, Jets? Any of them can go into Tennessee and win and I predict they will.

The reason why is the Titans talked about how it was the Texans' "Super Bowl" and "hopefully we can come back after our vacation this week..."

You play in the National Football League -- if you can't get up each and every game, then you don't deserve to put on a uniform. That's a cop-out. You were able to get up for the previous 13 games. You have home-field advantage still on the line. Don't tell me you couldn't get up for this game. That's what I have a problem with and that's why you will lose your next three games.

Take it like a man and give credit where credit is due. If it weren't for P.I. penalties, the Titans might have been shut out. Don't say you gave it away. Yes, your coach made a stupid decision, but there was still enough time for the Texans to drive and make a field goal of their own. You lost, plain and simple. No one cares how you lost -- you just lost. There was no controversy, you didn't get cheated, you lost. You didn't make plays and the Texans did. If you didn't come to play and you were "on vacation" this week, then give your paycheck back to Bud Adams.

That's what I thought, so once again...give credit where credit is due. Have respect for your opponent, because next year you might not be fortunate enough to take a week off and they certainly will remember this game. It will only be sweeter when Vince Young is back under center next year.

Don't let someone burn you for 11 catches and 207 yards and tell me you should have won. Courtland Finnegan had the worst game of his life and there is not a hole big enough for him in which to hide. Have a good time writing that check for your fine(s), Finnegan -- sorest loser of them all. You've been getting burned all day, so you decide to cost your team the game with two personal fouls late? Then you respond to a question about the fines you're going to get by saying, "No big deal. They go to charity anyway." Stay classy, Nashville.

Game ball to Andre Johnson. He is the franchise -- more than any other player in the NFL.

Steve Slaton is ridiculous -- his last run for a first down was all heart. One of three such runs on the day, but the most important and a statement of what is to come.

Matt Schaub -- gets his bell rung on a cheap shot and pops right back up. He gets better every game.

Defensive line -- Big plays by Amobi Okoye, Anthony Weaver and DelJuan Robinson. Mario was Mario -- no Pro Bowl snub this year.
