Houston, We Have A Problem


How's your summer starting? Great? Could be better that's for sure. Nothing going on in H-Town sports. Here is what I am getting subjected to on a daily basis:

-The game show called 'Can You Guess Phil Garner's Lineup?' I like the $250,000 jackpot, but they might as well make it a billion since they'll never pay out.

-Hey D, do you think we can find space on the roster for Kobe to go along KG, Rashard and McGrady? Ha, Ha Ha you guys are soooooo funny

-Oh and the Chronicle (err, I mean 'Texans Unofficial Publicist') trying hard to make us believe that a 7th rounder out of the 2003 draft is just the guy we need at the No. 2 receiver spot

-My new Rockets coach talking about changing our offense to up tempo with a bunch of guys who can't finish their layups

- Congress allocating $500 trillion in pork to conduct an investigation into the missing offense with the Houston professional sports teams

ZZZZZZ zzzzzzz Pence ZZZZZzzzzzzzz Pence ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz (keep one eye on the kid)

Women Who Hate The Cowboys


Anna does not like the Cowboys because their fans are "obnoxious". Growing up in Brazil she was subjected to Cowboys this and that. Evidently, international NFL fans get a steady diet of the Cowboys. All throughout the 90's she was subjected to people running around saying, "los vaqueros son el nĂºmeros uno." She believes,like most knowledgeable fans, that Barry Sanders could have done more with that offensive line. She also believes the rumors about Troy.

Why Not Dream Big? Les Does.


No offense to Yao. Really good player, great guy, but opportunities like this are few and far between. KG for Yao and Juwan gets us started. KG has 4 of his prime years left to go along with maybe 4 more good years for McGrady. Now once you have him in place, everyone in Houston starts to hard sell Rashard on taking the mid-class exception hometown discount to win rings. He has to be tired of losing, and his dream must include winning championships for H-Town. This is Houston's version of up-tempo to take on the Phoenix, Dallas and Golden States of the NBA, and this team could play some good defense.

Before all of you guys say that big deals like this rarely happen. Consider this, Les Alexander has probably brought in more quote unquote superstars to the Rockets than any other owner during his tenure. Clyde, Charles, Scottie, Steve Francis (made the trade to get him), T-Mac. He loves the big splash. The only problems with this proposal are 1.) Les wants the Chinese market and 2.) Rashard wants Max dollars.
