A few things to mention about sports in general. Still Time to Fire Kubiak There wasn't a whole lot to get upset about during yesterday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Anyone who thought the Texans has a good shot at winning are the same kind of people dreaming of a Houston Super Bowl win during the preseason. I wrote three weeks ago the Detroit Lions and Buffalo more...
Lions and Texans and Bills, Oh My!

Three games into the season, and I am ready to roll with the Fire Kubiak Bandwagon. I know, I know, losing to the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome is rarely a cause for concern. However, in all three games this season, I have seen the same lethargic, impotent play that has been the hallmark of Gary Kubiak's tenure as coach of the Houston Texans. I was not more...

. . . is a new head coach, a new head coach, please a new head coach? Gee, if I could only have a new head coach, Then I could wish you Merry Christmas! It makes me sad that I am writing another Fire Kubiak post after writing about this subject a little over a year ago. I did get to a point last season where I felt like keeping Kubiak has head coach of the more...

Houston saw an unprecedented construction of sports stadiums in the first decade of the 21st Century. Other cities can now boast three "new" stadiums for baseball, basketball and football, but no city opened them up like Houston did from 2000-2003. It was because of these three new buildings Houston was able to host some of the country's most important sporting events. more...

Debunking the I-45 Rivalry

I was going over my Facebook wall the other day when I saw someone post a tweet from @Bobby_Heugel. Bobby's apparent logic in cheering against the Texas Rangers is based solely upon the fact they are Dallas' baseball team. This tweet is indicative of a behavior in Houston that is getting more than a bit old. It made us look foolish when the Houston Texans played more...
Brokeback Football

I apologize for the delay in getting you my final report on the Houston Texans season. You see, during the 48 hours that included the end of the NFL regular season and the Fiesta Bowl, I lost everything in football I hold dear. There are three moments in my personal sports history when I have been reduced to tears. 1. "The Comeback" (Buffalo Bills rally from 35-3 to more...
Let's Talk Playoffs – Take 2

This is how I opened last week's post about the Texans' playoff chances. So the Texans won yesterday, beating the St. Louis Rams 16-13, and kept themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot. Yes, it’s true, the Texans still have a shot at the playoffs. I’ll be honest, I’m incredibly doubtful, but let’s break it down. Now for this week's post. So the Texans got more...

So the Texans got lucky won yesterday, beating the St. Louis Rams 16-13, and kept themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot. Yes, it's true, the Texans still have a shot at the playoffs. I'll be honest, I'm incredibly doubtful, but let's break it down. Currently, there are 6 teams, including the Texans, with a record of 7-7. Any of these teams will have to win their final more...
Monday Night Flop

Truth be known, I missed the first half of the Texans Monday Night Football game against the Titans because I was catching up on Grey's Anatomy on my DVR. Say what you will, but I'll tell you, this season of Grey's has been a helluva lot more entertaining than the Texans season. Apparently I was one of the few people in Houston who wasn't heartbroken over the Texans loss more...
