So, as everyone on the Chrisrex Chihuahua's knows I was a staunch advocate of Dean Houston.

I was immediately smitten by his repeated posts about bowing to his massive scrotum and stuck by my man through his "This isn't the game for me" stage.

Heartbroken by his departure, I continued to follow his career after being traded to the Ole Rebels. It's been a great year for Dean.

We only cared about the W and kept him from throwing his target 30+ passes a game. The Rebels had a different team strategy. They allowed Dean's arm to be free and he graciously lead them on an 11 and 2 run... What's that? Oh... correction 2-11.

But he stuck it out and didn't let it get him down. Dean opened season 3 lobing out 49 passes. Being a team player he only made 27 of them and allowed the kicker to be a hero with a 3-3 tie.

There followed a 4 game streak which was unfortunately broken with a game 6 12-3 win. Dean's efforts to help the team were limited to 15 attempted passes and 10 completions.

I can only assume that in the locker room after the game, Dean protested and got his team on track. He had his 30+ passes a game back and the they responded by winning 1 out of 8 games.

Now I know this happy story should come with a fairy tale ending and it does. Dean didn't get to play the last game of the season due to injury. An injury to his very soul. For that would have to be what it would take for such a dedicated GLB agent to be removed from the depth chart of the team he has lead for 1 and a half seasons.

The injury was so bad in fact that he has not even been to his office since June 30th. Repeated visits to Dean's agents homepage have turned up a clue to the nature of his injury...

But seriously, I don't get it? What really happened to the player owner? Why was he banned?

Dean's Agent has remained tight lipped about the situation, hopefully representatives of the team will speak up and clear the air.

I know many of us from Dean's former team are anxious to hear what transpired.

hint hint.... lol

Well said, and you were even so noble as to not mention how, for the team, he let his QBRat go from 46 to 65... fine indeed, a noble man and true... what? it did what?


Oh


nevermind....


back to the search for life at the agent's office.

I must add I actually do not know what happened. His name comes up occasionally in our team forum, and usually leads me to check his profile and see what he has been up too.

I actually rolled a QB to see what the deal was with them. They are a tough build to be sure, and his desire to constantly pass despite the losses we had drove the team against him. It got pretty ugly before his trade.

I had none of these problems with him on my team. As far as his being banned goes, I have no idea what happened. His being inactive is what force me to put my QB in as starter. If anyone has a backup QB lvl 18+ that they can trade I could really use him...HA

I have one that's about to be but my loyalties lie with the Blaze. If Bort decides to add injuries we'll need him to step in. If it's a "set given" that he won't make such adjustments I'd be willing to help you out but you'd have to talk to my team owner on that one. We Blaze are a cohesive bunch....except for those Ohio State/Michigan guys,LOL.

I have a level 9 about to be 12 next season after boosting. He's gonna be solid.

Good for you that there was no drama. Someday the Ballad of Dean Houston may have a happy ending after all.
