A lot of Texans fans are ragging on the Cowboys and Titans. You say the Cowboys way overpaid for Leonard Davis. I agree. But it's Jerry Jones' money. If he doesn't think he overpaid, who cares? The bottom line on any deal is does the player give the team an upgrade over what they had? The answer on Davis is yes. He can play right tackle or right guard. He's been durable. He just wasn't worth the second pick in the draft.

Many of you are getting a kick out of the Titans losing their best runner and receiver and the possibility that they'll lose their best defensive player.

The Titans could have re-signed running back Travis Henry and receiver Drew Bennett, but they've put a value on their players, and they won't overpay unless the player is a sure thing. Henry, who is one strike from being suspended for a year, got $12 million in guaranteed money from Denver. Bennett, 28, is a possession receiver who got $10 million guaranteed from St. Louis. That's great news for them.

I believe that the losses of Henry and Bennett will give the Titans ammunition to keep cornerback Pacman Jones. There's a lot of public pressure in Nashville to get rid of Jones because he's been involved in 10 incidents since he was a first-round pick. I think the NFL will end up suspending him for a couple of games, maybe four, for being dumb enough to be, as he and his lawyers seem to contend, in the wrong place at the wrong time. Think 10 times is a pattern?

Maybe one day Houston will have a good enough team of their own to give up obsessing over their successful upstate rivals and their old franchise that left them.

Naw, I doubt it. ;)

The comments to his blog entry is pretty hilarious. I just fell upon his blog not to long ago. And it's actually quite humorous. The comments about Vince are funny.

Leanord Davis is five years younger than Allen and I am sure the players understand the market enough to know you can't reneg your contract every year because the price for tackles went up.

As long as people continue feeding their obsession, they'll keep it up. Case in point: EA Sports labels the Dallas/Houston matchup in Madden 07 as a rivalry game. "Rivalry game? What rivalry? They have only been in existence a few years and don't even play in the NFC; but because it's an 'in-state foe', it's a 'legit' moniker.

It just makes running up the score on them that much sweeter. ;)
