The Logical Choice

It may end up being a bit of an understatement to simply call LaRon Landry the "logical" choice. He could end up being the "playmaker" Kubiak seeks. 4.35, hard hitting, looks like he was shot of a cannon difference maker is what he is. Is he another Roy Williams? Hard hitting reputation but can't cover. Roy has never been associated with anything like 4.35 speed. In our continuing effort to match up defensively with the head of the class Colts, a dominant presence at Strong Safety will be the much needed compliment to Demeco, Dunta & Williams.

Texan Draft Prospects

Well, everyone's clamoring for some draft information. I will start with my # 1 to click, but I need a little help from the Browns. Who said Reuben Droughns was not a franchise player? I think he is a damn fine player......Uh, Oh getting sidetracked with my fondest Brown memory. Let me take you back to a Sunday Night football game in 1991 when Bubba McDowell was patrolling the secondary for the Oilers. Anybody remember the hit when he laid out the Browns receiver. House of Pain baby!

Pitchers & Catchers Report

What will the 2007 season hold for our Astros? No doubt questions remain to be answered with the pitching rotation. The lineup should produce more runs with the addition of Lee and Ensberg returning back to form. Biggio may be forced to the 6th hole by Luke 'Skywalker'. There is not much we can do about the 7,8 spots unless Loretta can play Short. We should be able to fill the 4th or 5th spot in the rotation with one of the kids. If we can do that and have a respectable and contending record, then mark my words Clemens will return for another run. Before you start with the "Why don't we just move in another direction" banter, I will just say 2.30 ERA. You would have to be an absolute fool not to let the guy come play for your team. I would feel much better with Oswalt, Clemens, Jennings, Williams and fill in the blank (Nieve, Sampson, Albers). I really don't want to endure another Wandyful season. And by the way, all Cardinals are on notice. Don't enter my backyard after tomorrow. My BB Gun is loaded and I have all the permits. Play Ball!

VY NFL ROY

He may play in Tennessee, but he laid the foundation in Texas. Don't want to hear about the stats. Come talk to me about the stats in 2 more years when he has more experience. Quarterbacks are judged by really only one stat - W's. And in this particular category, he stands out as the best of the 2006 rookie class.

Disrespect Shown On This Blog? Earn it. The rant I have been holding back.

You may notice one Houston team's omission from this blog, but this blog is dedicated to noteworthy Houston sports accomplishments. #1 There is nothing in the Texans brief history that merits posting on the left as a classic moment in Houston sports. If you tell me the 1st game win over the Cowboys, albeit sweet, was historic and classic enough to put up alongside these other moments, then I'll tell you that your not from around these parts. #2 I will choose how I root for the Texans, and no other Houstonian or carpetbagger from the north can tell me what is and isn't appropriate. My team was stripped from me. You know the team this eight year old boy waited in the Astrodome for hours and hours to return from Pittsburgh after losing in the AFC Championship. You know the team this 9 year old boy waited in the Astrodome for hours and hours to return again from Pittsburgh after losing again in the AFC Championship. Nobody knows my sports pain, so nobody gets to talk to me as an authority on being a Houston football fan. I am a Texan fan, but it is more of a default status right now. They are my hometown team, but they have done nothing to win my heart with the exception of Andre and Demeco. We shall see what the future holds. One thing is for sure. The future has to be brighter without Casserly and Carr running this team into the ground any longer.

Durant Dominance

Well, let the jockeying for the #1 NBA draft pick begin between Kevin Durant and Greg Oden. Durant turned in a huge 37 points and 23 rebounds performance as Texas rolled Texas Tech Wednesday night. Inside, outside he can do it all.
