Default Chron Texans Slide Shows Must Stop! NOW!!
Every time I go to the Chronicles sports section there is another goofy slide show. Some of them stay for a while. Not sure why they are doing it. Not enough writers? Laziness? What? I would like to see some more actual writing and less of these ridiculous slide shows. Will definitely go elsewhere for Texans coverage.

Hearst Corporation has been producing quality butt-wipe for more than a century! It was a sad day when they swallowed up the remnants of the old Houston Post. I delivered the Post on my Huffy in the Nasa area in the late 60s. It's a Clear Channel world now.

I dont mind slide shows, but when I click on an article about the Texans upcoming draft, and the first thing I see is the top Texan draft picks ever, it is annoying to have to scroll down and locate the article.
