    For those critics who hates Kevin Harlan, get ready because he will be announcing the Texans preseason games. I could just hear him now, David Carr threw that pass "right between the eyes" to Jabar Gaffney, or David Carr is a "Flame Thrower". Wow, I'm pumped up already. Maybe I'm one of the few who likes to listen to him overexxagerate a simple play. But I like most when Danny Ainge is mocking him. Check out the link:

    It's too bad they couldn't bring Jerry Trupiano back to Houston to do the Texans games.

    I like Craig James. I think he'll help offset the Harlan factor.

    Whoa! The Texans have hired some national broadcasters. I'd rather have Ron Franklin doing play by play though. When I heard KTRK bought the TV rights I thought Bob Allen was going to do the play by play with a former Oilers player doing color.

    Another clue:

    This high school team went 15-0 in 1978 and won the 4A state championship.

    "Jamie Sharper! With no regard for human life!"

    Oh sorry. I got him confused with Ray Lewis.

    my alma mater!!! Craig is still (I think) the greater Houston scoring leader...he averaged 9.9 yards a carry. My father saw he and Earl Campbell both play in high school...he says he thinks Craig was a better high school player than Craig was.

    the amazing thing about Craig was the he only played in the 4th quarter in 2 games that year!! they beat the crap out of everyone, and Coach Cripps would pull him so as not to run up the score. Amazing athlete!

    Kevin Harlan is pretty bad IMO, When he was calling a Raiders game last year he kept getting Gruden and Gannon mixed up.
