Refs give Patriots a TD. Texans lose by TD. Who would have thought...

HA! I think I made you a believer.

Hedge funds and too big to fail scenarios.

Texans had a pretty QB as a rookie. He seems to have been beginner's luck because he doesn't look very talented anymore.

Could be too early to tell. Interesting he didn't hail mary down field on the last play.

[Pigeon]

He ran around with the clock as an issue. Quite lame. I suppose he was going for one play but then chose the wrong one.

It's Houston, crappy or choke. It's when it goes bad, not if.

Football is another occupation where hype is the game for pay.

Where else do employees make a big deal out of actually doing what the are paid for. Failure or just above seems to be the norm for the work level.

The Bills player, sign on for the year, quit are half time game 2. At least he played the system for some pay.

I think we are not hearing the full story.

I just think that FB players are over rated in general. But it is entertainment so the big money. Look at Hollywood.

I laugh each time a player acts special for making a good play. That's why the money is there.

Vikings waive K Daniel Carlson, to sign Dan Bailey

The Minnesota Vikings made a kicker swap after just two weeks. The rookie is out. A veteran is expected to be brought in.

The Vikings waived Daniel Carlson on Monday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. Dan Bailey is expected to be signed, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added.

Carlson lasted two games in Minnesota after beating out Kai Forbath during training camp.

The fifth-round pick missed three field goals in Sunday's tie with the Green Bay Packers, including two potential game-winners in overtime. The second OT miss was a straightforward 35-yarder.

Zimmer asked why the team released Daniel Carlson

"Did you see the game?"

Was it an easy decision?

"Yep, very easy."

After Carlson missed two field goals during the team's third preseason game coach Mike Zimmer admitted he was worried about his young kicker. Sunday's misses in a game the Vikings could have stolen from a division rival on the road, sealed Carlson's fate.

In the rookie's place, the Vikings will bring in the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history.

Bailey was cut before the season by the Dallas Cowboys, the franchise with which he'd spent seven seasons. The veteran reportedly declined several offers waiting for the right landing spot. He found it in Minnesota.

Bailey's career 88.2 career field-goal average places him second-all time in NFL history, behind only Justin Tucker of the Baltimore Ravens.

Make sense.
