Matt Schaub is out for several weeks -- perhaps even the season -- meaning your new starting QB for the Houston Texans is ... MATT LEINART.
Adjust your AFC Super Bowl odds and fantasy lineups accordingly.
Leinart's only significant NFL action was as an abject failure as Arizona's starter. Maybe time has healed all wounds. Or maybe he's just a dreamier Cade McNown.
He's pictured to your right getting walloped by a Vikings defender in the preseason. Whee!
Enjoy the game tonight, everyone, to the extent that it can be enjoyed. If you must root for the Packers, make sure your focus is squarely on Aaron Rodgers and Mason Crosby -- but not at all on Greg Jennings.
Goose With A Beer could sure use a win.
