  1. It must be eating away at you (and others) that executives in Dallas made a decision that will have long-term effects on Houston's real estate market.
  2. You all think the facade and structure of the Downtown Dallas Sheraton is ugly? The view at street level is just as bad. I thought Starwood would have tried to do something to beautify the building, but alas, those hopes have been dashed. The DT Houston Embassy Suites I definitely unattractive, but IMHO the DT Dallas Sheraton has it beat In the ugliness department. On the bright side, though, these two buildings can only get better with time, and some architectural improvements.
  3. Unless and until you see a press release from the Ritz Carlton, don't hold your breath. It would seem that you guys had learned your lesson about use things, already. Hopeful wishes for hotel/condo projects, illustrated in renderings, will not produce an actual building being the name of that hotel. It's just something the developer does to get people all excited. And apparently it's still working! Here's my advice. . .WAIT for the Ritz Carlton to issue a press release, then get excited. Until then, accept the reality that there will be no Ritz Carlton om this site, or any other in Houston, for that matter, for the foreseeable future.
  4. The Dallas Police and Fire Pension System would never fund a project within a 150 mile radius of that location.
  5. Nearly 1400 posts in and this stadium is no closer to development than before the first post. . . .sheeeesh! I've got a bright idea. . .let's wait until something CONCRETE actually happens, before posting again. This thread reminds me of a bunch of dogs chasing their tails.
  6. You actually think comparing Houston to KC is a good thing?
  7. Great description of this individual. I can't tell you how many times I (and many others) have wanted to type those same words. What is the Dynamo's franchise current value?
  8. We didn't have Dirk. What did you expect? Seriously, though, I didn't really believe the Mavericks would win. They're not playing very good right now. The Rockets however are on a roll. Better hope they aren't showing they're playoff muscle too soon. The second season is a little different than the regular season.
  9. My prediction is that the Mavericks will halt Houston's win streak tonight in a devastating loss. . .even without Dirk Novitzki
  10. Welcome to Stadium City!. . .We finance them all.
  11. I think this goes for the Ritz-Carlton as well.
  12. What. . .are you kidding me? Houston will looooooooose (get it this time?) anothersports franchise before the Texans will ever make it to a Super Bowl. I could be wrong though. Mario Williams may be able to single-handedly sack them into the championship game.
  13. Stop acting like crybabies. This thread was originally started by some poster named "ProHouston" about the Cowboys and that so-called football team in Houston, and received posts from the "usual suspects" including two out of the last three posters before I ever got involved. Comments were made about both teams, and the thread turned into a trash talikng match, similar to those trash talking matches many engage in, about their favorite sports teams. BUT, some of you forgot that in order to talk trash (and not appear foolish), you have to have something to talk trash about, yourself. I just reminded everyone here of that fact. . .the fans of Houston's so-called fotball team don't have room to talk trash about most other NFL teams, much less America's Team. . .The Dallas Cowboys! There's no comparison from a historic standpoint (8 superbowl appearances, 5 superbowl championships). Houston's team can't touch the Cowboys from 2007 Season (NFC East Champs vs happy to be 8-8). So, don't get mad and hurl insults. You can call me any name in the book, and it still won't change the fact that the Houston Texans are LOOSERS. Remember that next time you want to get into a trash talking contest, or somebody might state something (again) that'll just end up hurting your feelings (again). It shouldn't be that serious anyway.
  14. I don't log in for a few days, and look what I come back to find. . .continued trash talking by a group who supports a team who are by definition LOOSERS (total win vs. loss ratio). I guess what they say is true. Houston's so-called football team isn't worth talking about. . .even around here. In oder to talk meaningful football, the folks in Houston have to talk about America's Team. Alas, in Dallas, we're used to it. When you're popular and envied, "haters" are just part of life. Well, I guess the more haters the better. I hope Houston, gets a football team worthy of discussion form its citizens. Until then, I will accept and appreciate all of the (negative) energy Houstonians put forth towards hating the Dallas Cowboys. Thank you Houston Haters. . . Thank You!!! [takes a bow]
  15. Exactly. It's probably better NOT to plan rail around a stadium for a team that may or may not be here in 10, 15, 20 years!
  16. Anybody want to guess who the most popular NFL team is (as well as responsible for selling the most merchandise/memorabelia)? . . I'll give you a hint. . .It ain't either of the ones from Houston! http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/post/Da...t?urn=nfl,47568 Keep em coming!
  17. Dallas Cowboys: Terrell Owens DeMarcus Ware Jason Witten Flozelle Adams Leonard Davis Houston: Mario Williams DeMeco Ryans Yeah, you sure showed me something! . . .Thanks for helping me out. Trae, as I stated to you before, in another thread. . .just be proud of HOSTING championships, I'll be proud of a tradition of WINNING Championships. Red, these guys need some help. Keep em coming. Good one. That's the best one, so far.
  18. Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys hold the record for superbowl appearances at 8? That's 8 more than the Houston Oilers, and the Houston Texans combined. Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys share the record, with Pittsburg and San Francisco, for superbowl victories at 5? That's 5 more than the Houston Oilers, and the Houston Texans combined. Keep em coming. I've got more stats for you.
  19. Dallas Cowboys send NFL Record 12 players to the Pro Bowl! Houston Texans send 1. I can do this all day. Keep em coming!
  20. The following is taken from this thread. Guess what? . . .Texans fans still sound stupid trying to compare any one of their football teams to America's Team. Pass the memo along.
  21. Too bad for the Cowboys. I can't say that I am surprised by the result, though. They played like the Texans yesterday, and just like the Texans, they'll have to watch the rest of the playoffs at home. The only difference is that the Texans never made the playoffs. BTW: New Rule: Before you can make fun of a playoff team for loosing, you have to be from a town that has fielded a playoff team within the last ten years! That pretty much disqualifies everyone in this thread.
  22. Thanks. I think I found it. http://www.texmedctr.tmc.edu/NR/rdonlyres/...kMasterPlan.pdf
  23. This is interesting. Do you have a source for this plan I can reference, and an expected completion date?
