Well for the Texans sake lets hope he dosen't have the ball on their own 1 yard line again

The whole world is still laughing at him.

We just traded for Sage Rosenfels.

If anyone is getting laughed at, it's the Vikings organization.

Not by much

He had more TD's, more yards & less interceptions than Sage did in only 1 more game & it was his first year starting.

Not a bad move by the Texans.

Yet they paid more for him than we gave to Rosenfels (granted very close).

We now have our second TE making as much as our highest paid QB.
Kleinsausser and Sage both on 3 yr,
$9M deals.
We are in no way committed to our current cast of QB's financially.

a. The Houston Texans signed Dan Orlovsky for $9.15 million over three years. Stunning. They really think of Orlovsky as a solid backup quarterback? On what planet?
