The One Where We Blog EVERY DAMN DAY.

You damn right, Danny Granger.

Poor Rex almost had a nervous breakdown yesterday, but don’t listen to him. He’s our fearless overbearing micromanaging leader, but sometimes even the strong self-righteous stumble and fall. But no one’s going on no kind of a strike or break or sabbatical or pilgrimage. Because everyday we hustlin like Rick Ross. (It’s the clean version because I’m trying not to cuss on the blog or in RL, kind of like a late Lent commitment. Hopefully damn isn’t a cussword.) No more baskeyball? Doesn’t matter? Astros having trouble meeting our super-low expectations? Still blogging. No Texans news because it is the butt-crack of the summer? Every damn day. The Dynamo take a 3-week siesta? We hardly cover them when they are playing, which is about once per fortnight.

FaF is your daily home for unprofessional, biased, barely-researched unverified Houston sports information, and don’t you forget it. We be blogging every damn day. In fact, that is our new motto. It works better than “baked fresh daily” because we’re not a carbohydrate and better than “everyday we hustlin” because I am pretty sure that is a song about selling drugs. I’m a father figure, so I need to stay hip to what the kids are listening to. In fact, here is the exact video I’m going to make in 8 years:

On to your EVERY DAMN DAY Houston Sports updates… 

Astros: Beat the Pirates 6-4, and climbed to 25-30 for the season. Still in the gutter, but at least it isn’t a gutter filled with crack needles and old diapers. I always love the random sports league division that plays out of its mind and has a winning percentage 15-20% higher than any other division. The NL Central – where our teams really don’t suck too badly. When I was thinking about the Astros trying to navigate their way between .400 and .500, this came to mind:

The Astros also hired Alyson Footer as their Senior Director for/of Digital Media. I’m sure we’ll cover this in the days to come.

Rockets: Let’s just call this “the basketball section”. Loved the final play of regulation last night. But I’ve watched it 5 or 6 times and am still not sure if Courtney Lee should have hit the shot, or if the pass was just off enough to throw him off balance so it wasn’t his fault. He was running and jumping to catch a 40-foot pass, redirect it, and shoot it off the glass over a 7-footer with bad B.O. So the degree of difficulty was higher than it appears on first blush. Sorry about shaky cam video – by the time you read this there will probably be some great high def footage (and by “high def” I mean “not someone filming his TV).

Texans: Chron.com had a story about how Frank Okam came into camp at 1,200 lbs but is working hard to get some field time this season. Well, then. I ranted a while back about how Okam is the smart one and we’re the dummies, but since we’ve gained 2 readers and the original rant was hidden under TRB’s playoff pics, here is the exerpt:

But then again, I’m not sure how bright you want your defensive linemen to be. They’re playing a position whose brute trauma force is equal to several car wrecks, and they’re almost guaranteed to lose mobility later in life and maybe even die young. That’s my theory as to why Frank Okam will never amount to anything – he is too smart not to realize that a) he can play hard and suffer tremendously in his quality of life after age 27 or b) not play hard, still make ridiculous sums of money by a normal person’s standard, and have a great life afterward. Football purists talk about how Okam “doesn’t get it”. He gets it, but you’re just too dumb to understand how much he gets it. He’s all Wesley from the Princess Bride and shit. Have you ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons!

Coogs: Resting up for their dominance in NCAA Football 2010, due out July 14. Did I ever tell you Joffrey Reynolds won the Heisman (among others, and there have been several) thanks to my dexterous fingers? It is going to be a slow summer, y’all. But we’ll bring it to the peoples

EVERY DAMN DAY.

The Granger picture came from Foot Locker’s House of Hoops, but it wasn’t a real picture and I had to put it in iPhoto and chop it up. So I’m not sure how to credit it. I guess we’ll just get sued again.
