All I want is equal coverage. I was in Mexico last week, missed the game, didn't even get to set my DVR, I haven't seen so much as a highlight until I caught today's Sound FX on NFLN.

They talked about the Falcons losing for two days & I saw nothing about the Texans on a 24/7 NFL chanel

MJD picks Houston to beat Ravens on 'inside the nfl' Collinsworth et al all think it's a no brainer for the ravens.

Jones-Drew made a coherent and respectful argument in favor of our running game. Ironic that it takes a perennial foe to give us a chance, whereas the 'neutral' talking heads of espn, nfl network and showtime all continue to disrespect and dismiss us.

Texans shown some love by BSPiN?

Wait. So you seriously missed the first playoff game and haven't seen a reair of it and you haven't downloaded it and you don't really know what happened besides the fact that we won?

I don't know why everyone doesn't like to have that guy saying good things about the texans....

But I have to admit, when I was watching the video and he was talking he gave me a strange vibe...

The "special boy" kind of vibe...

Don't know if you get what I mean...

"Retard" is too much strong a word, but that's the direction...

although NO OFFENSE INTENDED I don't know the guy, and I don't mean to be rude... just watch the video and I think you'll understand

It would come as No Surprise that Skip Bayless is on the Texans bandwagon this week. He is so anti-Ravens it isn't funny. He would pick your local high school team to beat us! LOL

Yup only because his Dallas Cowgirls didn't make the playoffs...

Would rather sandpaper the ass of an alligator in a phone booth rather than listen to Skip Bayless.....

Fuq these hoes on ESPN. Let them continue to chug the chowder out of Tebow's junk.

I watch First Take every single day from 11-12 when I am at home on lunch so I saw Skip give his short appreciation earlier and I posted that in another thread, but other than that, you barely hear anything.

Here's there line up every day...will probably be the same today....

Tebow
More Tebow
LeBron
Tebow
Giants, Packers or Saints.....mayyyyyyybe Patriots since they play Tebow
More Tebow

The Texans story is straight out of a movie but Tebow is all they care about.

I keep thinking that if they managed to win the SB the DVD of their SB season would be amazing.

Don't forget, they'll mix in some Yankees, Red Sox talk.

I think some people don't get what fans are complaining about.. Most Texans fans aren't complaining that no one in the media respects their story and how they got to this point, or that no one has anything good to say about them and no one ever picks them to win...most fans are complaining about the amount of coverage...

When the Texans clinched the division in Cincy on that awesome two-minute drill drive and last second TD, they showed like two plays in the highlights... But we saw about 30 from Tebow, good and bad... Top 10 plays? You'd think TJ hooking up with WalterS would have made it, but it didn't... Mostly it's the coverage most fans that complain are complaining about...

Me personally, I'm not that bothered by it, but I'd still like to see more national coverage because I'm a fan! Being a fan isn't just about watching the games, it's about indulging in everything "Your Team"... You want the games, the merch, the highlights and to see the national media cover your team, esspecially when they just went 80 yards in two minutes with a rookie QB making his second start, to win a 7th straight game and clinch the first ever playoff appearance for the franchise... So quit being hardasses and understand: these people are being fans...

The link you supplied, it's to the AFC South blog. Kuharsky writes on the Texans nearly every day, all week long, all year long. If this was your way of showing how ESPN is exhibiting "love" then you picked a poor example, seeing as how Kuharsky writes about the Texans every day.

I think the things people want to see from the media is all the "cover story" type articles and TV pieces like they do on the Jets or on Tebow, etc.

Even Kuharsky, who is a bit of a Titans homer since he wrote for a Nashville paper before becoming the ESPN AFC South blogger, is saying that the 2011 Texans and all they've been through is not being celebrated by the media as much as it should be.

Your title is fine. Your link and the quoted material is great. But to start off the thread by telling people "For all the people who complain about not getting 'recognition'..." is snarky and, once again, lecturing people who have been around for 10 years and don't need a finger wagged at them over something like this.

Kuharsky blog that is linked in the OP is nothing more than a link to ESPN's First Take, a show on ESPN. Kuharsky was just posting the link in his blog. So I don't follow. Did you click on the link on the blog? It's a nationally aired program.

I think you may have softened my heart there a little, and I felt a tear well up in my eye. Haha, I get why people are upset, but I don't think they should let it upset them. I can come here to Ttalk for highlights, fan perspective, I got merchandise, thanks to little 7 y/o Chinese kids. When it comes down to it, Go Texans!! no matter who's rooting! It's fun now, but I think people are forward thinking. Nothing irritates me more than when someone I KNOW for a fact was rooting for another squad, then becomes a fan of the Texans, then the Texans lose, and they talk trash about how "my team" sucks. Um, weren't you just rooting with me 2 months ago? That's, I believe, what irritates people. That and most of my posts!

Actually, you'd have very good chance against the alligator in a phone booth because it wouldn't be able to operate in open space. Just stay away from the other end during the "smoothing" process....

At least skip didn't pick the game, just predicted a low scoring game. Typical pus analyst move though.
