Stevie Franchise Heading To China?
It appears as though Steve Francis is heading east. Or west, depending on how you look at it.
Stevie Franchise hopes to play in China in the upcoming season, if the conditions are right:
In his three years playing beside Yao, Franchise put up beastly numbers. He was on top of the league, even on covers of video games and whatnot. Plus, the Rockets' swag looked like this.
Francis was the American star of an international team--and one that the Chinese culture still loves and follows. His jersey sales, like that of other Rockets stars, boomed. But the sad story of Stevie Franchise all comes crashing down after his Orlando days.
Despite his poor media reception, Francis still has a loyal fan base in China. Perhaps this can revamp his career. I hope for the best for Stevie, even though he's wrong about Kevin Durant.

Oh Peter King, You Naive Man
Reading through Peter King's congratulatory Monday Morning QB column, I stumbled upon a paragraph that is sure to make the eyes of every real Texans fan bleed:
Actually Peter, and I know you're under strict pressure to laud Mr. Casserly every time you can because he's an "insider," Mr. Casserly was nothing but a puppet during the 2006 draft. Someone to be quickly deposed after that draft, but kept aboard out of courtesy by Bob McNair.
That's been proven time and time again by the local media and local fans. In fact, it's so known that even Richard Justice knows it.
So if you'll excuse me, the only thank you note I'll be sending to Mr. Casserly this year is one that reads "Thank you for the four years of terrible football, you terrible talent evaluator, but I quite enjoy watching the Texans be good while you sit there at CBS and act like you know what you're talking about."
After all, nobody has been wrong more than Charlie Casserly.

Arian Foster Rewards Linemen For Clearing Rio Grande-Sized Holes
Arian Foster might be a bonafide, stud RB now, but let's be serious: Stevie Slaton could have piled up two hundred yards behind a Texans' offensive line that parted the Colts' defensive front like Moses did the Red Sea. According to tackle Eric Winston, Foster's a humble guy, so it came as no surprise that the running back - a recipient of Sunday's game ball - handed off his prize to the folks who cleared the way for success.
Per Mark Berman:
Now, Arian, understand this: Anything less than two hundo next week, and we're going to have problems. No excuses.
