What the hell football team is the "Houston Texans"? Never heard of them, but they are listed

in the Forbes listing of NFL franchises by value.

http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/30/sportsmoney_nfl08_Houston-Texans_302019.html

They came in at number 8.

Never fucking heard of them.

Did they used to be the Oilers? Wasn't there a Houston Oilers football team?

moved to Tennessee settling in Nashville, and became the Tennessee Titans.

The Houston Texans are an expansion team given to Houston about 5 years ago now IIRC. I'm surprised you aren't familiar with them. Their huge stadium (Reliant Stadium) was a temporary shelter for Katrina refugees from the Superdome in 2005.

I guess it never dawned on me that there might be a new football team in that spot.

:rofl:

Shows how much I follow sports!

seriously, though, even in the background - and I live around a LOT of football fanatics - I've never heard the term "Houston Texans" in reference to football.

And you've probably never heard about it cause that team really sucks.:)

:D

:rofl:

I love it too :D

I think with the stadiums, that it was Reliant Energy's intention to get the city to demolish the Astrodome, but there was enough of an uproar by the natives that it was left in place. I've heard all sorts of ideas for its use over the years including converting it into condos and movie studios. Interestingly, Rice Stadium holds as many people as Reliant's stadium (100,0000) but as it's not covered, they had to have us residents of Houston cover the costs for them to have their plaything.

The one unfortunate thing about that Google Maps image is that it doesn't show "The Larva" (inflatable practice field)

And they got replaced in Houston.

Not that I give a shit about sports, because I really don't...... :D

Chuck: We have a pro football team now, but they're in Nashville?
Kelly: Um, yeah. Oh, my God. OK. They used to be in Houston. First they were the Oilers, and now they're the Titans.
Chuck: The Houston Oilers are the Tennessee Titans?
Kelly: Yeah.But that's not all. They went to the Super Bowl last year.
Chuck: And I missed that.
Kelly: You would've died. They almost won by one yard. One lousy yard, right at the end.

Were the Dallas Texans, of the old AFL. They are now the Kansas City Chiefs.

:woohoo::hi:

Charlie?

:woohoo::hi:

I'm clueless about sports in general, and especially utterly clueless about all the weird-ass league rules.

Rabrrrrrr was so clueless about sports that he____________________________________________________into the endzone....

:woohoo: :hi:


it was a joke on big oil

For one who is clueless about sports shit and one who knows I am clueless about sports shit, I had no idea it was a joke.

Clever, my friend! Clever!

:hi:

:hi:

Just the "Texans" would have been better.

Instead of asking for information so as to be educated about the topic?

What a shit-ass fucking attitude, and how disgustingly symbolic of the current American attitude toward "education".

Fucking hell.

I hope you can get over yourself someday.

I assume then that you were born with a full knowledge of the intricacy of NFL rules, an encyclopedic knowledge of NFL history, and also, I'm sure, an absolute command of mathematics that haven't been invented yet, a complete understanding of the Unified Field Theory and how to prove it, and everything else in the universe that it is possible to know.

I wish I had your intelligence and command of all knowledge and information that has ever been generated or will ever be generated.

Please tell me - what's the formula (or formulae) for the universal cure for all forms of cancer? You could really help humanity with your infinite knowledge. The moral thing to do would be to share the contents of your oh-so-magnificent brain.

...is you. What nonsense.

He asked a question, then you get shitty. Grow the fuck up.

Thanks to Earl Campbell :D

The Oilers had one play, give the football to Earl.

Isn't that the truth! :D

How many hits did the he take.

Can he still walk.

Maybe that site about him sez something.

I started to lose interest when they lost to the Steelers over that one badly refereed catch. "Out of bounds" my ass!

or

Houston teams: Don't forget to choke in the finals, y'all!
How can you root for continuously "second-best"?

They built this team a new place to play, what a waste of money.

Therefore the sorry ass Texans have money coming out of its ass.

No, I didn't think so......

He could be a legend elsewhere.

But any team with an absurd logo and color scheme deserves runaway obscurity.

Beat some team from Tampa Bay. Never heard of them either.

They lost, so it was like the real thing.
