    One Jaded Texas Two Step

    On an afternoon where Andre Johnson reached a milestone for averaging so many catches a year concurrently, even A.J. was provoked into responding late in the 4th quarter. Then again it was a 24-0 shutout by then so it really didn't matter. The tape shows Johnson landed some good punches on the linebacker with the 'House Party' hair. With a Thursday night game at Philly we wonder if the Texans lose their star receiver to suspension? Stay tuned.

    Down the Stretch: Week 12 Picks and Pans

    2-1 Turkey Day against the spread (83-71-5 YTD) with the rest of the teams battling today. The game that will draw the most discussion will happen when the Colts and Chargers meet up on NBC later tonight.

Another impact appearance and game for Caron Butler.

    I'll Take A Moral Victory.

    Falling to 3-8 effectively ends any and all ridiculous talk about a playoff run for Dallas. Look ahead to 2012 (there will be no 2011). Jason Garrett has turned the mindset of a team with so much promise and talent in the direction they should have been when this 2010 season began.
