    I don't think I could ever lay-off any of them.

    I've thought a lot about this.

    They remained locked in their cages in the Toyota Center until the lockout is over.

    They probably have a one-year contract and just have to audition every year.

    So they are not really laid-off. They just don't have a new job. Either way, everyone who works at Toyota will get no pay. Unless maybe they do private gigs like Clutch00.

    They're still doing appearances and other stuff like shooting for the calendar and practicing. Giving them more time to prepare for the season.

    Maybe we should have them sit in on negotiations and... persuade people to start the season.

    It's a minimum wage job. They only get paid when they work events and games...not sure about practices though.

    This sucks. I haven't paid much attention to them as much in the past few seasons.


    See what happens when you don't select Vanessa? You lose Yao Ming.


    There is suppose to be a Rockets Halloween party coming up. They need to go and dress up as slutty _____.

    The Rockets Facebook page keeps putting up photos of them from the calendar shoot. I assume that means that they are still working, even without games going on.
