'The writers originally had Scorpio gifting Homer the mediocre Houston Oilers, who didn’t have nearly the cultural cachet of the other club in Texas. But the Oilers had just announced that they were moving to Nashville. Instead, the writers ended up going with George Meyer’s favorite team: the Denver Broncos. “It’s not the Dallas Cowboys,” Scorpio’s telegram to Homer reads, “but it’s a start.”' More clips for the lulz.
Why didn't you just say you'd tell us tomorrow And then tomorrow say you wanted to tell your family first and that you'd post it a week later.
Also, from the Simpson era, there is a little known episode of Married with Children where Kelly Bundy answers a game show question and she correctly answers with a Houston Rocket.
Maybe his family was all over Clutchfans and he didn't wanna ruin the surprise. Jeez! Get it together Doc!!!
I wouldn't call it sad, I'd call it unnecessary. The whole premise of the thread is "21 years ago, someone almost made a joke about the Oilers"
