There are four things that I love: 1) corporate intrigue 2) religious charlatans 3) the State of Texas 4) NFL football. Which is why I’ve been blessed with the Jack Easterby story regarding the Houston Texans.
For those who don’t know, Easterby is essentially a chaplain that plotted and schemed his way to the top of an NFL franchise. It’s an odd story, but things like this happen. Anyone recall Rasputin and the fall of the Russian Empire? And yes, I’d say that Easterby’s involvement with the Texans is every bit as significant and tragic as the fall of the Romanovs.
I’m just always surprised at how rich people, like Texans CEO Cal McNair, are so gullible. If the average person came across someone like Easterby on the street, we’d think “this dude’s full of shit.” But I guess game recognizes game.
Listen to this shit:
A bit of advice Evangelicals: if you want people to take your religion seriously, maybe drop the used car salesman schtick.
The theory is that Easterby and McNair are trying to turn the Texans into a “Christian football camp”. So this will give us the opportunity to test Aaron Rodgers’ theory that “God doesn’t care about football games.” And if we come to find out that God DOES care about football while millions of children continue to starve to death, then you should ask yourself why you worship this god.
So I’m pretty excited to watch this experiment go up in flames. In the meantime, enjoy some of Easterby’s standup:
The Internet Ruined Everything 
The thing is, I hate all four of those things.

Hey now, as long as you ignore the people, the culture, the landscape, the history, the politics, the attractions, the food, the music, the cities, the towns, the country, the water, and everything within its borders, Texas ain’t such a bad place.
