Sorry if anyone expected a Missed Extra Points joke, I tried to make one but it went wide left. So here is a name joke that I actually made last week in prep for not having my tablet during thanksgiving. Yes, this comic was pre-made to this weekend. I HAVE BROKEN YOUR IMMERSION. But Dave, you ask, you drew the comic beforehand but didn’t write this post beforehand? No. Because I had to make two comics, in case of a Texans win and one for a loss. You will never see the other one. NEVER. It’ll haunt you like not knowing what would have happened if the Seahawks ran the ball. Or if Dez caught it.

You ever hear somebody’s name and just sort of know what they do for a living? That’s how I feel with Whitney Mercilus. I can’t really imagine him in any other profession. Maybe MMA or professional wrestling but if I heard his name in either one of those I’d assume it was a stage name and not his real name. With football his name is just on the right side of real enough. But not Whitney Mercilus, Accountant. Whitney Mercilus, regional manager of Arby’s. Dr. Whitney Mercilus, Children’s Pediatrician. But Whitney Mercilus, Linebacker? Yeah. Maybe Whitney Mercilus, Prosecuting attorney. The point is Whitney Mercilus never stood a chance. He was always going to be a linebacker.

Football names are fun and you can tell a good name by how easily you can make violence puns out of it. WHAT A MERCILUS GAME. LEGARRETTE BLOUNT FORCE TRAUMA. A JACKIE BATTLE TO THE END. HAHA C-Dix
