Shouldn't fans be happy that we even have an NFL team?

You're like, the worst pretend buddhist ever.

 

Not sure where the benefit is exactly.

It's hard for me to adopt the Texans as they will never be able to fully replace the Oilers for me.

From my perspective, they just use up 1 of the 3 afternoon games we're allotted. I'd rather see about 10 other games on the day than the mandatory Texans games.

I might care to watch once the Texans have a marquee superstar. Call me fairweather/bandwagon, but I watch sports to be entertained by individual talent. The idea of investing any emotion to a franchise that has been a joke and the most irrelevent franchise in the NFL since 2002, other than the AZ Cards, really doesn't appeal to me.

 

I feel sorry for this team, I hope the current cast and characters can figure it out and start winning some football games because to them I think it would be so much sweeter than someone who has ever tasted it before.

 

Answer this question then, shouldn't fans deserve a better NFL team in Houston?

 

You're like the worst pretend Houston fan ever.

 

I don't pretend to be a fan of the Texans.

 

That's HOUSTON Texans, Yankee.

 

do need some help getting your panties unwadded? maybe DC can help.

 

Not if we have a bad NFL team for the past 5 years

 

Dude, it is unreasonable to tell other people how to cheer for sports teams. You're treating leisure activities as though they were a life or death situation. They're not.

But, in the spirit of your decree, I have my own irrefutable, iron-clad statement: It is unreasonable to switch to guitar after playing the piano for 10+ years. I mean, c'mon, doesn't loyalty mean anything?? The traitorous guitar?? Puh-lease.

 

The honeymoon period ended on draft day 2006.

 

I'm not telling you how to cheer. I'm telling you what you are. Either you are a supporter of Houston pro sports, or you are a fan of another (unless you are none at all). If you are a fan of another then you are the enemy. That's how it works.

Now, I'm not saying you can't say our team sucks. It really does suck. But you still do not want any other team to win. I am strictly talking about alliances. As a Houston pro sports team fan (Rockets, Astros, Texans, Dynamo) I will give crap to supporters of other teams/cities. It is what makes me a fan of Houston sports, say to rag on Dallas fans, or perhaps crappy, smelly, piece of **** Titans fans. I'm just doing my duty for the home team. That's the way it always has been and always will be.

 

i nominate meowgi as greatest texan fan ever

 

Look out... Here come the L.A. Texans!



(Because Houston wasn't grateful enough... LOL)

 

Happy...Are you F'n kidding me...Happy is when the Texans are in the playoff hunt, but I digress...

I think I, like most fans, are upset at the way we lose...You're not a true fan until you go through the ups and downs of a franchise and cheer when you win and have a pit in your stomach when you lose...That being said, I expect the Texans to lose with Carr as the QB...

 

the answer is: no.

 

No, it doesn't. Now you're trying to shame people into cheering the way you want them to by parading your opinion around as cold, hard fact. There's no reason to conduct McCarthy-like hearings on this supposed "Titans Scare". It's absurd. Period. People nowadays root for many teams simultaneously, so if they want to be counted as a bandwagon fan, let them be. They have every right to cheer for whom they want to, when they want to, and how they want to. Just be smug in the knowledge that the highs will be sweeter for you, the die-hard, loyal fan, than for the bandwagoner and go about your merry way.

You can certainly rag on other teams, players, and their fans, because that's what all fans do. However, you have no right to rag on WHY other people root for a particular team, as the "why" is usually related to some personal decision or experience, which thus must be respected by others. If you choose to deny other people this decent right and trivialize their "why", others in turn will do the same to you. You've experienced this already in several threads. Stop dragging your own name through the mud. Give other people the respect they deserve and let them cheer however they want to.

 

yes the NFL stadium is great, now we can see our favorite football teams and players play :

Vince Young
Peyton Manning
Donnavan McNabb..

 

There is no trivialization of cheering for Houston on a Houston pro sport fan website or in the city of Houston. All attempts are futile. It is as pure as Believe It or Luv Ya Blue. There is nothing to worry about. I have no desire for respect in this matter. I am completely confident as a Houston fan, crappy teams or not. Cheering for another city's team here should not be tolerated. It makes us weak and makes me sick.
