Hall of Fame
was my thought at end of 2010 Texans season. Flat out disgusted. No playoffs? Heck I didn't even like the way we won most games. I was feeling sorry for me and Andre Johnson as neither were going to get much out of the games other teams would go to after regular season ended. Didn't McNair see what I and countless others did? He said he cared, well? Memories of ex-wives saying the same thing were making me paranoid. I kept mumbling "show me something for hanging with you, Bob."
I told my mock draft partners Beerlover and RMartin65 that I was sick of the NFL draft being the high point of the season. We discussed stopping the mock & I remember thinking that Astros had slowly turned me off and the Rockets were making me re-think my desire to watch. Have not watched more than a handfull of Rocket games for two season and whoopee; no 2011 season is on the precipice of the CBA cliff.
Then came the hiring of Wade Phillips. Good guy and great DC but I followed him mostly due to his dad. A molecule of excitement enterred me; if Wade could just get the defense into the mid ranks....I decided to do one more draft. Credit Kubiak or Smith or Phillips, I truly do not care but what a draft!
My feelings of enjoying the game is not limited to our team but now I watch other NFL games that may impact the Texans standings. I find myself eagerly reading the sports page (yes, I did return to the Houston Chronicle, first Sunday only and last week to daily) to compare W-L records and also to review injury report of other teams. (Did you know that Tampa Bay DT Gerald McCoy tore a right biceps Sunday & is out for season?)
I could still be disappointed in the ending this season but I believe for a much different reason.
Regardless, I enjoy football again.
