    Not really a Rockets directed post, but doesn't reading the same line over and over again in every single sports thread annoy the hell out of you? And it's not just sports, but it's anything Houston related. Houston has a hurricane coming in its vicinity. "Houston we have a problem," will no doubt be the headline for CNN the following day. Get some damn creativity knuckleheads.

    I'm tired of threads like these, people complaining about the obvious overuse of "Houston we have a problem" and of people posting in the wrong forum.

    Yeah, but someone here change it, because houston helped the damaged people by the Hurricane Katrina, and it is: "Problem?: We have Houston

    And this is the wrong forum

    for your pleasure...

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5127298?GT1=7429


    Dog of the week
    Texans (1-10) at Ravens (3-8)

    Houston, you have a problem. You blew a 24-3 third-quarter lead and a 10-point lead in the final minute, at home, against an under-.500 team, playing its third-string quarterback. Wow.

    How does 33-year-old Isaac Bruce get behind the defense with Houston leading 27-17 and 26 seconds left to play? How do the Texans not recover the ensuing onside kick? How do they leave Torry Holt wide open in the closing seconds? How do they get utterly embarrassed on a wide receiver screen to Kevin Curtis in OT? How is Dom Capers still employed?

    Meanwhile, all the once-vaunted Ravens defense did last week was get torched for 42 points by a Bengals team that looked like it could have run up 60 had it not backed off.

    Yes.

    And the actual Apollo 13 quote on air-to-ground was:

    "Houston, we've had a problem."

    yes.

    i'm also tired of "i'm tired of threads". it's kinda like "looks like threads"... looks like i'm moving to boston. looks like i'm visting holland. looks like i'm schitting in my pants."

    "looks like" we have a new cliche.

    i'm tired of "i'm tired of" threads".

    looks like i'm drunk. sigh...

    What never gets old is anything that references "size matters". That will be funny for years and years.
