So it might be awhile before they hang that No. 80 at Reliant now.

Guess I need to upgrade my Jersey. Will have to hang my no. 80 next to my original no. 08.

Why not pay him the bonus? How many times has he restructured his contract to help out the Texans? Serious question.

You open Pandora's Box.

Pay him you send a message to everyone else. You don't fulfill your contractual obligations you still get paid. O Brien has been preaching since his hire that no one player is bigger than the team as a whole.

This is about guaranteed money. they trade or release him now they take a $12 million cap hit this year. After this season it costs almost nothing to release him. Even as a FA how much money does a 34 year old WR command on the market? Even one as great as Johnson?

He only has leverage for one more guaranteed payday with one team: Houston. But it has completely backfired because he listened to Uncle Melton. The same guy that negotiated his last shitty contract and the team rectified that situation when they didn't have to. Its not like he didn't get paid when he renegotiated. He still got his money just more up front.

I let my younger brothers borrow my Wii U, so I won't be able to check it now. But I use the sail ship looking kart and the Rocket Bike, with the cloud gliders. When using the bike I go Rosalina, in the kart I go Mario or Mii. I cannot remember the name of both of the tire sets I use for each of them, but they both raise the acceleration pretty high. The top speed shouldn't be too bad on those set ups.

It is true, if you get too far behind a certain player, you aren't catching up. I remember this happening a few times when Bread cheated and used hacks. Conversely, I do not like losing my speed after getting hit by an item or falling off, I like instantly regaining my speed. Sure it is short term, but whatever, items are a factor in my decision and I seem to do well with these sets. Some of the stages seem better suited for top speed for sure though.

From what you say you seem to be using Rosalina/Jet Bike/Roller/Cloud, which has a top speed of 3.75 and an acceleration of 4.25. The other one is Mario/Landship/Roller/Cloud, which has a top speed of 2.5 and an acceleration of 5.0. As I mentioned earlier, only whole units of acceleration matter, so the .25 in the first loadout is extraneous, and the cloud glider should be swapped out for something which increases your weight and air speed (hidden stat).

ESPN Insider$ predict which teams are best positioned for success over the next 3 years using a mix of roster, QB, coaching and front office. Top 5:

1. Chickens
2. Pack
3. SF
4. Denver
5. NE

For this year's edition of the NFL Future Power Rankings, Insider's annual examination of the franchises best positioned to succeed going forward, we had our panel of NFL experts -- John Clayton, Mel Kiper, Louis Riddick and Mike Sando -- project how teams would fare over the course of the next three seasons: 2014, 2015 and 2016.

CATEGORIES (weighting)
ROSTER (30 percent): Quality of current roster excluding QB, emphasizing young players and devaluing players over 30
QUARTERBACK (20 percent): Team's QB situation, focusing on the future
DRAFT (15 percent): Evaluating each team's 2014 draft class, reputation in the draft and number of available draft picks in 2015 and '16
FRONT OFFICE (15 percent): Ability to manage team's roster and bring in new talent via free agency or trades, plus market's attraction to free agents
COACHING (20 percent): Capability and stability of coaching staff

30. Bills
31. Phins
32. Raiders

I don't think they care too much about the dead money at this point since it's mostly from restructures, and money that's owed to him. Even with the dead money hit, there's still a ton of CAP and cash savings. His hits for 14/15/16 are $14.6, $16 and $15 mil.

That hit this year puts them slightly over the cap. Texans have first shot on the waiver wire when players start getting cut after TC, his "hits" for 15 and 16 are not guaranteed.
If he retires he pays back like $6 million in pre paid bonus.

It makes ZERO sense to do anything with him right now.

What makes this legendary Uncle Melton qualified to give advice? Is this like that family member VY had who "invested" all his money?
