Aaron Glenn is done playing. Teams keep calling but he's home for good in Houston now after 15 seasons in the league. We had him in studio Wednesday morning and talked about a lot of things including 19-10. He still sees it as one of the greatest games he's ever been in. He talked about the smoke being so thick (from the pregame fireworks) that players had trouble seeing the ball in the first half. Corey Bradford drew a pass interference call on the first drive of team history but told Aaron he couldn't find the ball anyway. Two plays later Billy Miller was in the endzone.



My most lasting Steve McNair memory is not a good one. Last play of the Christmas weekend game in 2003 McNair found Drew Bennett in the endzone on 4th and 10 in the 3rd most gut wrentching loss to the Titans in team history (you know about the other two). I'll always remember things Dom Capers told me about how hard it was to bring down McNair. He was super strong and one of two QBs in my lifetime who could skip practice and be precise on Sunday. Dan Fouts was the other.



I really hope Daryl Morey has something up his sleeve for this season because it's looking like '09-'10 will be a 'wait until next year' kind of campaign. Right now there is no "easy offense" on the roster. Not that the team as it stands can't play hard and make things interesting but it's hardly a contender.



Lance Armstrong's run is compelling. I don't watch it but I follow it. I've called him the Barry Bonds of Europe only because of how many locals feel about him. If he's never tested positive in a sport that tests more than Ron Artest tweets, that's good enough for me.
