Howdy, folks! As you may recall, I’m away this weekend on a Boy Scout camping trip, so you’ll have to survive without me (somehow). I should be back on Sunday morning — smelly and disgusting — but regardless, I went ahead and scheduled the Roughnecks game thread to drop at 5:30pm on Sunday (half an hour before the game starts). We’re playing the hated Arlington Renegades.
On a totally unrelated note, today (Saturday) is International Sword Swallowers Day!

Well, this afternoon I’m leaving to go on a Boy Scout camping trip with my 13-year-old son. I get to sleep on the ground in the woods and hang out with a bunch of junior high boys all weekend. Pray for my back and for my sanity.

Well ladies and gents, it looks like the BESFs are in full burn-it-down mode. Yesterday they released Robert Woods (WR), Taylor Lewan (OT), Randy Bullock (K), and Zach Cunningham (LB). They also hired Tim Kelly to be their new offensive coordinator (LOL), and might be moving on from 34-year-old QB Ryan Tannehill. Are there any good Titans players y’all might have your eye on if they get released or traded?

No big Texans news at the moment, so here’s the results of the USFL draft for our Houston Gamblers:

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

Well folks, we’re completely moved in to the new house (although we’ve still got boxes of crap everywhere), and aside from being President’s Day, today is also National Comfy Day. Personally, I intend to celebrate by wearing shorts and possibly drinking whiskey during the workday. I gotta say, it can be pretty nice working from home sometimes. Oh, and also, go Roughnecks.

I recently discovered a new beer that I really enjoy: Bull Shark Scottish Ale by Galveston Bay Brewing. You should check it out. It’s a bit smoother and less malty than, say, Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale, with a lower alcohol content. Easier to drink more than one.
Also, I just found out that Travis Kelce is gonna host SNL on March 4th. Really.
On a side note, I probably won’t be around much this weekend. I moved out of my apartment and into our new rental house last Saturday, and we’re moving my fiancée and her stuff in today. So if anything goes totally off the rails, message me on Facebook or something and I’ll get to it.

It’s Friday. Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania comes out tonight. Go see it if you want, I guess.
On that note, here’s a list of non-MCU Paul Rudd movies everyone should watch (and I intentionally excluded massive well-known hits like Anchorman, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Knocked Up, since literally everyone has seen them):

I can’t think of anything exciting happening today. So just to recap, here’s our new coaching staff so far:

Apparently February 15th is “National Wisconsin Day.” Really. Normally this fact would not be remotely notable for us Texans, but since our favorite son, Justin James Watt, is a proud Wisconsin Badger, it seemed worth pointing out. It’s also “National I Want Butterscotch Day.” So… ya know… ask your grandma to dig a few Werther’s Originals out of her purse.
