Vince Young blows. And don't give me the "selling more tickets" garbage, as every game in the Texans' existance has sold out.
-
The overflows can always stay at the Holiday Inn/Days Inn/Heaven on Earth Inn, right?
-
Which is what Houstonians continually have to put up with from Dallasites who love to denigrate Houston so they can feel better about their city.

Tacky or no, the Dome will see the wrecking ball if it does not generate revenue in the mid-term future.

1) To bungle Joseph Stalin (who nmainguy always accused me of being anyway): "Those who make the stats decide nothing, those who interpret them decide everything." You are choosing one stat to define an entire receiving corps for two teams. Why, exactly, is #100 your dividing line? Is receiver No. 95 in the stats that much better than receiver No. 103? There is a large difference between No. 1 and No. 100, but in your "rankings" they count the same. What are you using to decide "top 100?" 2) "Statistics are like a bikini: they reveal much that is interesting, but nothing of importance." If you honestly believe that NFL personnel men would trade Indy's receiving corps from 2002-2006 for the Pats receiving corps from the same time period, then we are going to have to agree to disagree (and I hate egg nog).
-
Uhhhh, Mark?? YOU (not I) were talking about "multiple rings," i.e. over several years time, not just THIS season. Indy's receiving corps has been depleted by injuries THIS year, but look back over the past several years (and look at them again NEXT year) and they have always had, and will have again, a top flight group of receivers. Don't pick the ONE year that the Pats have had a better group than the Colts and extrapolate it into a long-term trend. THAT is egg nog thinking, pal.

When I was in high school, our band got to play a concert at the Meyerson. Fabulous building with amazing acoustics.

HUH? Manning has had fantastic receivers in Indy practically his whole career. Marvin Harrison is no Randy Moss (frankly, only Moss is Moss), but he's been a Top 5 receiver most of his career and draws coverage the same way that Moss does. Reggie Wayne would be a No. 1 receiver on all but a handful of teams. Dallas Clark anyone? Having Edgerrin James or Joseph Addai out of the backfield?? Even his No. 3 for many years, Brandon Stokley, is a solid receiver. Manning has had the most favorable receiver situation of any quarterback in the league over the past decade, so any statements of "if he only had such and such" ring pretty hollow, certainly when compared to Tom Brady's receivers over the years.

I've never had a flu shot. I've never had the flu.

Seven Greenway Plaza At 7 Greenway Plz. Hardly talked about is the Greenway Plaza Central Plant facility. -
Everything would be solved if they just stopped the METRO bus service on 1960!
-
Hopefully, the Kordell, errrr, Vince lovers will be mercifully absent from 610 for the rest of the season.

This also brings to mind another example: TxDOT is shutting down most of their projects right now due to a funding crisis. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that they are giving the "all stop" to engineering work that is ongoing, including the US 290 project (everyone in Cypress: call your legislator and your state senator). But HCTRA will possibly build the Hempstead Managed Lanes regardless of what TxDOT does with US 290. They can bypass the FEIS process since they won't use federal dollars to pay for it. There are several complications, but there's a good chance it could be built quickly like Westpark.
-
Well, for instance, since HCTRA has a lot of extra cash on hand due to toll collections on the Sam, the construction of the Hardy extension will be accelerated, as I don't believe they will be selling bonds for the project.

But if you have drunk the global warming koolaid, that shouldn't matter.

To back you up on this point, in pavement design, passenger car traffic is either ignored or has a minuscule input. Truck traffic governs pavement design. On a slab of pavement designed to handle thousands of trucks a day for twenty years or more, passengers cars are like love bugs on a windshield.

You mean they aren't willing to roll over throw away a half million bucks? Whoda' thunk that, Bill?

The Texans haven't been good enough to have bandwagon fans. And bandwagon fans, which Dallas has loads of, are the most obnoxious subspecies of human on the planet. And people who actually display loyalty in spite of losing especially despise bandwagon fans and love to see them brough back to earth so they can wait for the Yankees and the Lakers to start their seasons.
-
Yeah, that was a bad one, and they even got to look at it again on instant replay and they STILL blew it. But I also recall the Texans being down 21 at the time anyway.
-
They already had that opportunity. While they played with the Patriots for 35-40 minutes, the game is 60.
-
It is going to take several (i.e. more than one) key injuries or a Saturday night Tom Brady drinking binge for anyone to beat the Patriots this year.
-
But even then, the developers don't need driveway permits or anything of that nature, so even if the new study shows that the tower will turn Bissonnet into Westheimer, the City has no ordinance allowing them to do anything about it, right?
-
People out there counting or a black hose?
-
Another traffic study will be done. Of course, even if the new study concludes that this project will be a traffic nightmare, given that the study is not required, what legal recourse does the city have to stop the project without getting its pants sued off?
-
True, true.
