    So even if you accept the truth over spin, you still have a problem with the fact that the spin existed? Yeah, I don't blame people for having their words twisted by dishonest people to advance narratives.

    For the record, I'm not accusing you of pushing any narratives, I'm just saying that you buy into the spin from those who are pushing the narrative that McNair is a bigot.

    In short, wake me up when McNair actually says something legitimately offensive or controversial. Spin from dishonest hacks doesn't do anything for me.

    Don't forget that "all of the things he's done for Houston" included taking Enron money and cashing out before the **** hit the fan.

    1. What did Richardson say the Bob is defending? I honestly do not know.
    2. Bob is a relic of a bygone generation
    3. I know he has given to all sorts of museums and nonprofits and such, he deserves much respect for that
    4. His son seems to be a River Oaks trustfund douchbag
    5. Who runs the Texans 5 years from now?

    I sat next to their table at a fundraiser. Bob, son, and Rick Smith. Son really does look like that all the time. All the pictures with his goofy “no one home” expression - same all through dinner. And doesn’t seem to talk.

    This passes as insight for at least one other poster.

    True of any NFL owner or billionaire, for that matter. They aren't "relics", they're a consequence of society. If you said "6. He's white." you'd sound like Duane Brown.

    Our media sucks and our fanbase is too chill.

    He should be under fire to sell the team.

    That’s BS, Jerruh wanted LA. Do you think he’s going to call him a buffoon in the press, lol. This might burst your bubble, but public figures sometimes lie to the media.

    And... welcome to hoard of “other characters”, oh holier than thou.

    Yes they do. If you put in headlines and all over the internet and repeat in enough, people will believe pretty much anything.

    He needs to stop speaking publicly altogether, imo. He’s not very good at it, and there’s too many people waiting with flamethrowers to vilify him. I mean, people want him dead. He needs to focus on fixing his issues with his team more than running interference for the league.

    Yep, Cal has zero bullisht.

    1. He said Richardson isn't a bad guy and some of Richardson's actions may have been misconstrued.
    2. True # Shut up old man, carpetbagger
    3. True, off of the backs of the citizens of this city.

    McNair is a good guy, he doesn't have a prejudiced bone in his body, he has given millions to minority causes, to hurricane recovery, and other charities. He deserves nothing but thanks.

    /makes a statement of fact
    /gets shown evidence of the opposite
    /ignores evidence as fake news and continues to believe

    Where have I seen this pattern before...

    I meant the comments that Richardson made, originally, that got him Sterling'd. I honestly do not remember what he said/did.

    That's what he should have been saying all along. If he had, we probably wouldn't be still talking about it.

    I believe Mcnair butchered his idioms and duane brown jumped on the opportunity to get traded.
    I also believe those players as I have referenced those comments before. The oddest part was that the Myers comment was made way before Duane even sat out a pre season game before Duane started being all douchie.
    Time for Rick Smith to take ownership of this team and say I'm back b****es!. Slim fit suits for the win. B.O.B faints.
