Casserly is Bushwacked

Charley Casserly, GM of the Houston Texans, has resigned. If you don't remember, he's the poor bastard who had to go on TV and explain why he wanted to doom his team to another decade of squalor (i.e. drafting Van Helsing fan Super Mario Williams first overall instead of Reginald Sawyer Bush or hometown hero Vincent Youngblood).

He says he's leaving in order to pursue the position of Vice President of Football Operations. Obviously, there's more to it than that. It sounds to me like he was forced out by either Gary Kubiak's uselessness or by his own mismanagement of the Draft. Regardless, it's odd timing.

In the end, it was probably the right decision, no matter who made it: get Chuck the fuck out of Dodge well before the season starts.

What's sad is that we're all going to miss the controlled riots in Reliant Stadium on opening day. We won't be able to watch in horror as the mobs slowly penetrate the defenses of the owner's box and proceed to kill and maim Casserly, towing his dismembered torso around the field behind a golden chariot steered by Mayor Bill White.
