Rex Grossman a Texan? I knew some coaches at Florida who told me then what a great leader he was. Obviously his numbers don't look so hot over time. Low completion percentage, high picks. But he did take a team to the Super Bowl. He'll be well coached here with a lot of talent around him and a proven system. He'll give the Texans a third QB who has played in the league.
I said on the air that Quinn Gray was invited to fill this role last year but came up short. Ask yourself this: Are they a better or worse football team after this signing? This is low cost insurance. If Schaub goes down you're one snap away from Alex Brink. Now, whether you like Orlovsky better than Grossman is a whole other question. But that question never came up with Brink. That alone makes them a better team today.

The Godfather's Guide to Business and Life Success
Not to glamorize organized crime but there is a ton of useful info in the first two film such as...
"It's not personal, it's business." - Michael Corleone. Separating the two is always important.
"The most important thing in life is health, more important than money...and power" - Hiram Roth knows this because he was dying and all the cash in the world could not make him better.
"Never tell anyone outside of the family (organization) what you're thinking" -Vito Corleone.
Keep strategy to yourself.
"This is the business we've chosen." Hiram Roth. This comes in real handy when I have to explain to the wife why we're not leaving town for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Whatever business you're in requires sacrifices unique to that line of work. It's important to regain perspective every once in while.
There are many more in the films. And don't even get me started on Goodfellas.
