Seems My Brush With Buchanon Has Become All The More Ironic...

As noted below, I bumped into Texans CB Phillip Buchanon after yesterday's game at DFW Airport. I even got his autograph. Not because I'm an autograph hound. Not because I think he's a good cornerback. No, I got it purely for the humorous anecdote it would inspire amongst my friends. At the time, I remember wondering aloud to one of my buddies why Buchanon was wandering Terminal E and not on the team charter back to H-Town. Seems my pal's explanation was right on the money. In light of this afternoon's news, it seems that I got far more than a humorous anecdote out of my brush with the poster child for the Texans' personnel failings. I became a part of history:

That's right--P-Buck/Showtime/The Guy Who Casserly Acquired for a Second and Third Round Draft Pick in 2005 is no longer a Texan. If there was any ever any doubt that I was going to get my autographed ticket stub framed, it has now been completely erased. I quite likely got the last autograph Phillip Buchanon ever signed as a Texan. And that, my friends, is simultaneously priceless and worthless. Good luck, P-Buck.
