My preferred custom NFL jerseys remain a Bengals with "Bowtie" on the back, or a Browns with "Steamer."

You're not allowed to get "He Hate Me?"  Rod Smart is sad somewhere.

I had some fun with the custom jerseys for a while...

 

Wait, when did Kobe become a therapist? Oh....

Simply awesome work Pat.

Most of these are pretty funny, but I gotta say that your Mario Williams pick was a little off base in retrospect (although at the time the pick was made I, like everyone else on earth, though Houston had lost its' mind).  I think you might have meant to choose black and gold.  Williams was third in the AFC last year in sacks and is only improving.  Reggie Bush's punt return and third down/split back production can be gained from a third round pick.  And before you or someone else pulls the "they should've traded down" card, I have a few things to say:

1)  You can only trade down if someone else wants the pick.  The last team to do so was San Diego, who traded Vick to Atlanta for LT.  I wonder why teams are reluctant to take that risk now?  #1 picks require an exorbitant investment, and most teams don't want the risk.

2)  Williams would have gone second to NO if Houston hadn't taken him.  They've already said as much.

3) Vince Young was my desired choice and I was livid when the Texans passed on him.  In retrospect, he is a poor fit for a West Coast style offense and is better suited for an option attack, which Kubiak doesn't run.  Since Houston brought Kubiak in to institute his own offense, it wouldn't make much sense to take a guy who can't play in it -- even if they would've sold out every game till he retired.  On the other hand, MW is the prototypical 4-3 Defensive Lineman, and the Texans were switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 under Kubes.

The Texans have shown themselves to be shrewd talent evaluators since instituting a new regime.  DeMeco Ryans, Eric Winston, and Fred Bennett have all performed at an incredibly high level.  They also found players off the waiver wire like Will Demps who went to the Pro Bowl last year.  I doubted Kubiak and Smith once (they are known as "Smithiak" hereabouts).  I've learned not to do so since, especially after the absolute whuppin' that Mario put on the league over the last 12 games of the season last year.

Oh....new icon idea. Check it out. Had to know it was coming.

In hindsight, I admit that my Mario Williams evaluation was wrong. But I was hardly the only one. It's a shame that my Roethlisberger jersey got cut off (at least when I look at it, it is. That was my favorite one.

I right clicked and then did the view image. You are right, that Big Ben one was pretty funny.
