Mario on ESPN the magazine cover - Page 2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

nunusguy · 08-28-2008

I rarely buy magazines (who needs them with the internet), but I'm thinking I want a hard-copy of this one. I dunno, but think they said its on the newstands on the 29th (tomorrow) ?

I won a subscription to ESPNM,(woo hoo) this will be one that I'll actually keep and not use for puppy training.

that's bad ass, one that i'll definitly keep.. but my favorite ESPN the magazine cover is the one of micheal phelps just before the olympics & it reads "aquaman returns". They really pulled off the superhero aura look they were going for, & it's especially cooler in light of what he ended up doing.

Thank you good sir.

Thanks Senor Stan for the heads up and Vinny for the link.

By the way, need to revise some of ESPiN's article.

Not many folks, <especially ESPN> including <quite a few>Texans fans, would have guessed a year ago that Williams would turn out to be the team’s biggest It factor. When the Texans passed over Heisman winner Reggie Bush and Houston native Vince Young in the draft, a host of experts <not on LA's or NY jock, so we're out> panned the move, while the Houston Chronicle <who probably AP'd from our telecast because they don't have local in depth reporting... but we won't admit ESPN made a mistake>said it “smacks of stupidity.” ....

This is a national cover! I wasnt expecting this at all but its AWSOME! Great picture and to hod the cover on ESPN for the season preview is sweeeeeeet!

It's that damn east coast bias again. The entire media hates us and will never give us any credit...

What was that? Mario? cover? Texans? Playoffs?

euro-Texan · 08-28-2008

Outstanding!

nunusguy · 08-30-2008

Anybody seen one of these on a newsstand ?
I looked in HEB & Kroger stores today and found none ? Could be the local
market is just sold out (with Mario gracing the cover).

I got me 2 copies yesterday, but had to go to 4 different places to find a copy. At least up here in the Austin area.
