Leader Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 3 minutes ago, ET80 said: Pretty much, yup. BoB gets the headlines, but I actually think a major architect to this mess is Jack Easterby: a former team chaplain for KC, then a "character coach" for New England, and now in Houston as the EVP/Director of Football Operations following the moves yesterday. It was always assumed that Easterby is the right hand man for BoB, and the two promotions pretty much solidify this as such. Easterby is widely considered the guy at the center of the tampering claims from New England during the whole Nick Caserio scandal. He's really got no football experience in a coaching or business perspective - all accounts have him as a good "pep talk" sort of guy, that's all he really brings to the table. And now... he's arguably the 2nd most powerful person in the Texans organization. *Shrug* Anyone got any trash cans and cameras I could borrow? That got Hinch and Lunhow fired... might work in this situation, too. Interesting. Not a HOU fan so the organization nuts and bolts aren't known to me - so thanks for that. Odd that there doesnt seem to be any great support for this guy......his on the field record....while not necessarily "fireable"....has led to a lot of people wishing he'd be gone.....but against all tides, he seems to headed in the opposite direction. I dunno know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Interesting hire. I wonder if he would step down as head coach and focus solely on his GM duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is physically beaten... it could be like when Ramsey Bolton tortured Theon Greyjoy so horribly that Greyjoy called himself Reek and subjected himself to Bolton in about every possible way. Deshaun Watson... is Reek. That's really the takeaway from this. Counterpoint Watson is Tyrion. It's not hard to love someone who has made you millions of dollars when you are young still. Just wait a few years until BoB's coaching and strategy start really beating him down and the money isn't looking so important and then BoB better start locking his door when he's on the toilet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....not exact enough. Tyrion didnt love Tywin (Lannister). Far from it - primarily because Tywin openly hated Tyrion and wanted him dead. In this example - Tyrion (Watson) hasnt said enough negative stuff about Tywin (BoB) to fully take on that character - and he certainly hasnt gone all "I am a nobody" Reek! No. You want to apply a GOT / Lannister comparison - go with Jaime. Only thing we dont know is who's he banging on the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely makes sense if we make BoB Cersie instead. Then when his team starts to fall apart he can start going crazy and try to take over other teams as well, with his bodyguard JJ Watt as The Man Mountain. Now I want to do a whole character sheet showing who in the NFL represents characters from the how. Starting with Belichick as the White Walker Night King. Lol how do I have a girlfriend... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 You're all overthinking it. BoB is Jon Snow: He's a bastard. He knows nothing. At the end of the day, nothing he did will matter, because Arya dunked on the NK. I still don't get that Arya development. Like, she couldn't use the faces? That was the coolest thing about her! Faceless assassin! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done IMO. I get they were cool, but she spent time in Braavos, made a huge run to get out of Braavos and back to Westeros, used her faces to wipe house Frey off the map (which she did, MY GOODNESS Winter came to The Twins) but then? Oh, here's a shooting spear and a Valerian dagger, go poster-ize the a NK while the Prince that was Promised hides from a zombie dragon... It didn't fit, IMO. It was a sharp left for the sake of a swerve, not a well executed swerve IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I think this is a plot to keep the city of Houston from cord cutting. How else will they be able to watch a Houston Saturday morning wildcard game? Edited January 29, 2020 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
