Well, it IS the third game so I'd like to think we're getting our wind back. But I'm planning on being a prick for only about the first quarter Thursday.

Yes, chuck, your concern is clearly for language on this one.

From dictionary.com...

verb (used with object)
1.****to regard or treat without respect; regard or treat with contempt or rudeness.

There is no way you can say they showed no respect but did not disrespect.

But it's clearly not about language. The texans offense showed no respect for the saints defense tonight. And the backside defensive end staying home twice on completed passes did not so much as slow the texans.

And I agree we should let some up and comers argue on Thursday night.

By the way, Yates looks bad.
