Seems worth noting somewhere in here that Houston’s defense last year was god-awful. 119th of 130 in points allowed per game, 124th in passing yards per game and 116th in rushing yards per game. Maybe Hurts should play a team that didn’t cap off their season by giving up 70 points (and 507 rush yards!) to Army before…

I don’t like nutmeg so I can’t get into pumpkin spice. But the hate is so ridiculous.

I pretended to be straight for 20 years. Does that count?

Already taken.

Except it’s balanced by the House and the Judiciary and the Executive branch.

SWEET!

Those replies...I feel like every day I lose a little more faith in humanity. Although I suppose the news itself restores a little faith. Regardless, the fact that people are shitty enough that such a request needed to be made to the DOJ takes some faith away. The fact that somehow a Republican controlled house backs…

I love Goldfrapp. Nothing else to embellish on that.
