    Pittsburgh resident - born and raised.

    Played NBA Jam on Super Nintendo as a kid. Always played as Houston. Started following them and then the next year we won our first championship.

    Been a fanatic ever since. :)

    Ah ok cool. Just weird but I know people that have allegiance and love for the national soccer teams of certain countries just because they played as those countries on FIFA so I guess this isn't that weird.

    I guess you probably take credit for the Rockets championships. You start following them and they win two in a row. SMH :)

    Houston raised, but I live about 120 miles up I79 from Pittsburgh - explains why I was watching the game yesterday.

    I had to work after the first half, and was not emotionally invested anyways, so it wasn't so bad for me.:cool:

    Tonight's game, on the other hand...

    What I really think is irrelevant. Just because we don't have an explanation for the chop-block (yet) doesn't mean there is or isn't a motive.

    Do you have inside access to the locker room? Are you personal friends with Pouncey or DeCastro? Just curious as to how such a promise can be made.

    The Texans are the only team I cheer for. Before that it was the Oilers, as a young child, and for a year or so, the Titans (unfortunately).

    I post in the Texans forum the most, I think.

    There won't be an explanation. Nobody is asking for one nor should one be required.

    Teammates simply do not do things like this to each other.

    I dunno breh, I'm believing that it wasn't intentional but I wouldn't go so far as to say teammates wouldn't do such things. I don't believe DeCastro did it intentionally(just negligent on his part) but I also won't put it past teammates to intentionally do this. A low probability but still a probability I think.

    That doesn't look like an accident.
