• Checking in with the status of Chad Johnson's endorsement deals, because I just wouldn't feel right about living in a world were GoDaddy.com and Fathead were represented by people without a proper amount of dignity.

• Former West Virginia running back Steve Slaton is winning friends and influencing people in Houston by holding onto the damn football.

• Rams tackle Alex Barron attempted to block rookie DE Chris Long and ended up giving him the "Olé!" treatment. Long blew right be him. Afterwards, Long said all the right things, too, like, "Barron might beat me nine times out of 10."

So now we’ve proved I’m tough, you’re tough, hooray, we’re all tough. Are we a good football team? What’s more important, proving you’re tough or proving we’re a good football team? That’s how I look at it.”
