I'd just like to highlight this post for its excellence and to underscore the difference between an organization run by people who want to win and an organization run by people who are content to milk money out of ignorant necks.
Buford's all-time favorite Texans quarterback was drafted in the third round, you know. Good old Dave Ragone. Second round pick that year? Anyone? That's right, Bennie Joppru, tight end. I believe he has as many catches for the Texans as I do. Other third rounders that year? The team had three for some reason. Seth Wand, who is, by far, the best Texan ever from Northwest Missouri State, and Antwan Peek, who is nowhere near the best Texan pass rusher from Cincinnati.
To be fair, Rasputin somehow picked Andre Johnson that draft. Of course word was he wanted Willis McGahee instead. Drafting a running back third overall seems like a very Rasputin thing to do. But in that draft he also selected Domanick Whateverhisnameis, who had a couple of pretty good years for the team, which is about right for a running back, which is why it is generally insane to draft one at number three overall.
Look at me. I'm slowly turning into Buford, lecturing all seven of us about shit everybody knows that happened years and years ago. Kids born the year AJ was drafted would be terrifyingly close to being able to drive a motor vehicle on public roadways by now. Hey, get off Buford's lawn! Oh, I forgot, Buford doesn't have a lawn. Step away from Buford's LeSabre! Put his cassettes back where you found them, you punks!
