I just hope I can be a good enough fan to help my team get over the top this Sunday vs. the Jags. It's going to take four full halves of TV watching from me. I can have not one ounce of "quit" in me. Gotta' lay it all on the line and hold nothing back. Those guys are counting on me.
You know, speaking of fans...there's this team in Jacksonville who somehow seems to do better than us and they have a pretty lame fan base.
How in the world do they do it? Anti-depressant meds? Daily counseling offered by the Jags front office? I noticed the kicker tried to maim himself to get a million-dollar wound a season or two ago.
I feel confident that I can finish out the rest of this season with a perfect record and save my fan contract for next season. Unless I hold out or get franchised (again) which will really suck since I want to finish out my career with the Texans. But you know what? This is a business and sometimes things don't work out.
Oh wait, that's for the players. Not for the fans.
I remember now: WE are the ones who keep coming back for more, even when we could easily go cheer for another team. We're the ones who aren't paid to participate with the Texans. For a second there, I got confused about the role of players and fans.
I'm sorry, Matt. I'll do better next time. Accountability is Job 1 here in Houston, after all.
