Romo comes out of retirement and takes the Texans to the Super Bowl. Feel good story of the year. Paul Rudd to star as Romo with Channing Tatum as Watt and Kevin Hart as Jadaveon Clooney.

Finally back to work after almost 2 weeks away, but I feel like I need to go on vacation already.

I've spent the last 4 days in Texas heat helping my parents clean out their house and tear it apart so that the mold doesn't spread. The water got to about knee-high so they lost so much. We had to tear down the walls and things like that.

It's very sad to see an entire neighborhood of people throwing away all of the possessions they worked so hard for.

Here's a few pics:

Holy shit, man. Glad your parents are okay, but that really does suck. It's hard to imagine pulling yourself up by your bootstraps like that, but as Texans, we didn't even hesitate.

Thanks, bud.

And thank you for your service. I had quite a few family members rescued by people from out of town so it's folks just like you who really made a difference.

Unless Hurricane Irma moves further up the west coast of Florida within the next 24-48 hours, it looks like I may be heading out of town before the weekend.

From a football perspective the timing of this sucks. I was hoping to kick back and watch Oklahoma-Ohio State on Saturday night and Dallas-NY Giants on Sunday night.

Damn you, Irma! :angry

I would go ahead and tear out the bottom of the walls before leaving.

Yea man, my sister-in-law may be flying out here to stay with us.

Crazy how she'd be flying to a place for safety that people were all trying to leave just a week ago.

Where are you going to head if you leave? And don't wait past Thursday evening. My guess is that the traffic to get out if you're traveling by car will be unbearable on Friday.

If you need a place to stay, you are welcome to stay in my home. We have a 4th bedroom.
