Texans and the Snickers ad - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

**Double Barrel** · 10-11-2011

I saw this in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, so I scanned it to share...

It's kinda' funny in a derogatory sort of way. Is this ad in all SI's around the country? Or did they do each team according to geographic location?

**Vinny** · 10-11-2011

our national reputation still exists I see.

**gtexan02** · 10-11-2011

Who are the players supposed to be?

I think they made random numbers on purpose. They probably didn't want to make players look bad....just the sad sack franchise.

**False Start** · 10-11-2011

I saw that in ESPN the Mag a few months back...

**Double Barrel** · 10-11-2011

It honestly cracks me up every time I look at it. I just wish that I could get the picture without the Snickers ad. Frame it and put 2001-2010(?) under it. The picture really captures the first decade of this franchise in a way that one picture can say a thousand words.

Ouch. That stings.

**Dutchrudder** · 10-11-2011

Any publicity is good publicity.

chicagotexan2 · 10-11-2011

I will say I laugh when I see the commercial where taints fans are doing the damn drew brees pre game dance and Mario glares at the garage ticket guy.

Now that one I like, just wish we would have beat them the comercial would have been better!

As far as the Si picture:

Sad!

I'll wrap it up tonight at home. I don't have the correct font or logo here.

**Double Barrel** · 10-11-2011

Awesome, Herv!

Hervoyel · 10-11-2011

And this is really what I was thinking

**utahmark** · 10-11-2011

They are just celebrating our big win. Remember that first one against Dallas........ back in 02!

Blake · 10-12-2011

So is our offensive lineman sacking our QB?

Sounds about right.

**Double Barrel** · 10-12-2011

That's awesome, Herv!!!

**Double Barrel** · 10-12-2011

Herv, wish I had thought of it earlier, as I've got the big image on our website, as well. I resized it for this thread.
