Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for six touchdowns en route to a blowout win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but it was a younger Fitzpatrick who stole the show at the post-game press conference.

Fitzpatrick introduced his sons Tate and Brady to the press before calling Brady up to the podium to show off some serious mathematical skills.

Fitzpatrick was quarterback for a couple of years. A real class act. This, however, is pretty gimmicky, if you ask me.

He still is a QB. The Rams drafted him in the 4th round or so. We could have used him earlier this season.

C’mon. Enjoy a father being proud of his son! Better than that Peterson fellow.

Did he name his son after Tom Brady, who has beat him 5 of 6 times, hoping some of Brady's QB magic will rub off?

Hope not. Judging from his performance against The Packers last Sunday, TB is not a very nice fellow, nor a good role model. His mouth needs a date with a bar of Fels Naptha.

Love the Texans (mostly because of J.J. Watt). But, Fitzgerald has my admiration as well. I just wish his brains could beat the speed and brawn of the better teams.

SPPOILER ALERT!!!

Multiplying two numbers in the nineties as a very easy shortcut.....

93 times 97 for example use the difference from 100.

93 x 97 = (100-7)*(100-3)
Now remember some algebra regarding quadratic equations to multiply those

= 100*100 -100*7 -100*3 +7*3
= 10,000 -700 -300 +21 = 9,021

There is always a spoil-sport on every positive thread. Give the kid a break, will ya?
