Posted: 30th September 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
These days, the "golden boy" just doesn't look that golden, anymore.
Last year we saw Brady Quinn's first go-around as the starter leave the Cleveland faithful with a bittersweet taste in their mouths. They saw what he was capable of in a 239-yard and two touchdown effort against the Denver Broncos.

The Astros' chances at the postseason are deader than...well, it would be in poor taste to give names, but deader than a certain environmentalist actor who died in his early 20s from a drug overdose.
Going into this season, I suspected the Astros were ...
