Do you admit that Schaub doesn't deserve this? This has almost swung the pendulum back to me wanting Schaub to succeed.
WTF. Are you high? Anybody can display moral indignation when they're online, but it takes a real man with cojones to go to someone's home, take pictures of his family, and harass/berate him? Yeah, let me just do the same to you and your family because you suck at your job. It's a game. Vent online, call him out on the radio, boo him at the stadium. But don't cross the line and freaking harass the man at his house. Also, just because I think it's despicable that some psychos did this, doesn't mean I'm on my "high horse." It's called being a decent human being.
Hate to say it but I knew this was bound to happen. I called it in Sunday night's Texans @ 49ers game thread: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=8285359&postcount=1165 Absolutely disgraceful. Really hope the authorities hunt these people down.
Hunt them down for what? Going to his house and telling him he sucks? It might be an invasion of privacy but not sure that's illegal.

No it doesn't. How is what you are saying any different from saying that all Houstonians look bad because a tourist got mugged?
I bet it ends up being one of these punk wangsters that start fights in the parking lot. Too many of them at Texans games who act like being a fan is being in a gang. They don't even know football, strategy or schemes. Or even the simplest rules
Texas Penal Code - Section 30.05. Criminal Trespass Texas Penal Code - Section 22.01. Assault Texas Penal Code - Section 42.07. Harassment Texas Penal Code - Section 42.02. Riot (if seven or more 'fans') Spoiler § 42.02. RIOT. (a) For the purpose of this section, "riot" means the assemblage of seven or more persons resulting in conduct which: (1) creates an immediate danger of damage to property or injury to persons; (2) substantially obstructs law enforcement or other governmental functions or services; or (3) by force, threat of force, or physical action deprives any person of a legal right or disturbs any person in the enjoyment of a legal right. I am certain the evidence will bear that one or more of these apply.
"Fans" like that take sports way too seriously. I'm all for criticizing his performance on the field at your local favorite bar or on a forum such as this one, but this incident crosses the line. Schaub is a human being with a wife and several kids and its reprehensible to berate him at his own house or elsewhere in his private life. Those "fans" probably have nothing else going on in their lives other than football. Pathetic fools. Also, shame on the Houston Chronicle for posting Schaub's home address. They should take some heat for that.
I hope this turns into a clutch city texans version after all this. Schaub has been complete garbage but this is too far.
So I don't understand how this helps anything? Matt probably has nightmares about the INTs he throws, he knows he's letting everyone down and likely more importantly he's letting Kubiak down and his teammates down. He already has that pressure of proving himself to them all over again... Now he has the added pressure of some psycho intruding on his privacy and no telling what can happen because people are crazy.
