Good shout out. But "chief competitor"? Didn't we win the West last year? I think that would mean they are our chief competitor.

Harry, you have been promoted to purveyor of official status capabilities

Well, they've got a 5 game win streak against us, and we only won the West by tiebreaker last year. Houston probably would have won the division if Keenum hadn't been hurt. What he said is definitely fair.

Semantics.

yes, but until we start beating them, they get to claim the top rung in that rivalry.

I like my technicality, as we are the western division champions argument better.

Yes, we lost to them last year and in the past.

Yes, they have dominated the rivalry (if we should call it that) lately.

But we are the defending western division champs. Don't forget it. Even if it was because a certain QB got hurt and it was all based off of tie-breakers. I still count it.

It would have been MUCH more prestigious if it had of been HOWIE Mandel with a shoutout!

And funnier.
