This reminded me of the guy at the Chargers - Jets game who was posing for a picture with Plaxico's wife in the stands after he scored his 3rd TD. Sadly, I haven't been able to find a picture of it, but it was priceless douchery.

the texans titans game was a huge game for the AFC south, and it wasnt even talked about

The first thing I thought when I was reading this thread was the Tebow hoopla. And you're right. A winless Miami vs. winless Denver game got way more coverage than it deserved thanks to Timmy.

It's overboard. I think he's a nice kid, but I'm starting to root against him just to shut the media up about him. It reminds me of the VY crapola spewed all over Houston for years.

Bingo!

I was a VY fan and even so I got sick of all the people calling into sports radio with their fantasyland Vince takes.

The Tebow following is eerily reminiscent of the VY phenomenon---an atypical quarterback who confounds the experts by winning games in spite of his shortcomings in mechanics and reading defenses. History repeats.

The Texans haven't done jack squat in ten years.

Until they start making real waves in the post season, I'm not going to fault anyone for overlooking them.

All I saw Monday was Tebow this Tebow that....you knew that was going to happen .....

It did not surprise me. If we keep winning we will eventually. I said this before.....National Media will go with the dramatic wins....like the Miami vs Denver game ....especially with someone like Tebow playing..( I could care less) versus our game...its just the way it is.....

Lets get on a roll ...and win the south....then they cant ignore us........

I don't even want respect. Would rather fly under the radar.

I'm not exactly disagreeing with you, but I think it's worth considering that championship teams don't fly under the radar. You see them coming and they whip your butt anyway.

My pick??? The Texans over the Tinnbreds..... BIG!!!

The Texans gave them dramatic wins last year: Jacksonville, Baltimore...

I'd say the Packers flew under the radar last year, considering they only got in because the Giants are stupid and half their team was injured. I'd also say the Mavericks flew under the radar last year, considering they played the defending ***** Lakers, then the upstart Sonics, then the holy grail Heat and caught everyone by surprised because, for some reason, nobody knows who Dirk Nowitzki is.

And no, I'm not comparing this team to the Packers or Mavericks.. Just saying that championship teams don't always fly on the radar and whoop you anyway.

No. Not always.

But the Packers the season before they won it all were 11-5.

The Mavericks the season before they won it all won 57 games.

The Steelers, year in and year out, are championship quality.

The Colts, year in and year out, are championship quality. (this season being the exception, obviously)

The Patriots, year in and year out, are championship quality.

The only team that recently truly sneaked up on people and won it all was the New Orleans Saints. They had only gone .500 the year before. But, even so, they won 13 games that season---so how much is that sneaking?

Again, I understand the thinking and I don't altogether disagree with it. But, all things being equal, I'd prefer to be rooting for the team that everyone knows is championship quality, sneaks up on nobody, and yet holds a clinic every Sunday.
