Dear Bob

Dear Mr. McNair,I know this is a pretty busy week for you what with the Super Bowl and all the pomp that comes with it. I did hear that you are pushing to bring another Big Game in 2012. You've got yourself a pretty big order to fill. I mean, I don't think the NFL will be open to a Texas Two-Step after the 2011 game hits Dallas in the house that Jerry built. No, they more...
Houston, we have a legitimate Bowl

For the past two years, I have had the honor of volunteering my time to the Texas Bowl. As you can imagine, a Houston bowl game would be something that is right up my alley. Every year, it is an amazing opportunity for the city to strut its stuff for a national audience. It also gives us the chance to show other cities exactly how a bowl should be run. I know, I know, more...

The alliteration of today's posts continues. . . I just finished watching the Texans upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As excited as I am about this victory, I cannot help but be frustrated by it as well. I mean, where in the hell has this team been all season long? This was probably the most complete game the Texans have played all year, and it was when they were more...
One Man Shows

This weekend was a showcase of all that is great, as well as, everthing that so frustrates me about our professional sports teams in Houston. The current leaders of the pack, both in their own league and among their Houston brethren, are the Dynamo. Sunday's victory over the New England Revolution was a textbook display of what it takes to win a championship at the more...
The Weekend’s Rocket(s) Blast

It was not a good weekend to be a Rocket in Houston. From the Rockets to THE Rocket, there wasn't much chance of finding someone with something nice to say about either. I have to say I haven't been this disappointed in a Houston sports team since the Oilers lost to the Buffalo Bills in 1992. I am at a loss for words. I simply cannot figure out how this team was unable more...
Red ‘n Rowdy Recap

The West finally got into the elimination game by knocking out the Nuggets and Lakers last night. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed in the Lakers, I really expected them to take this series to six games. Kobe has gone on record demanding more help this offseason. I am not informed enough of this year's free-agent crop, but I will say that you might expect to see Kevin more...

Okay, so I'm just going give into my inner b-ball fan, and interject a running commentary on the NBA Playoffs. It may come daily or after Rockets' games, but I will continue to report on these playoffs until the bitter end. FYI, I may go back on this promise if and when the Rockets are eliminated. Just sayin'. East vs. West The Western Conference is falling behind more...
Urban Houstonian NBA Playoff Update: Rally Edition

The Wild, Wild West continues to live up to its name. The Golden State Warriors have put the Dallas Mavericks in a 3-1 hole in their first round match-up. However, as the saying goes, it's not over until its over. Houston, more than any other city, knows how quickly a 3-1 hole can become a 4-3 win, and springboard to the NBA title. The Mavs benefit from being on the "good more...
