SF vs HOU - the game no one wanted to win?

[older version]

Ok, Houston just settled for overtime instead of using a plentiful 43 seconds.

Do you think that both teams are as stupid to believe that loosing a game will gain a quality NFL running back? Or do you belive the owners may want to lose a game to gain a high priced asset that might not stick around in their city, but be good for trades/payoffs?

I wouldn't put anything past Houston. The Bush family is somewhere
in the ownership of that team. A family who may have very well LET
the Twin Towers get bombed just to make that oil money. So tanking
a few football games is nothing


I tell you something though, I've seen this kind of hype before. If I
was a GM, I'd be looking to draft Lindell White. He could end up
being a steal if he's coming out this year or next

 

[RunawaySlave]

Well, so much for White being a steal anymore....after the game
he had last night, the press will make him a legend now.....

But I see this as a good thing. Hopefully, after this performance
the Bush hoopla will die down and maybe he'll slide down to the
5th pick

He sort of runs like Steven Davis from the Panthers...
