that's demeco. the cat, refresh. btw, we started designing our new banner, sans carr, months ago - what's the big deal?
Well, if the Texans specifically asked for it, that makes me think there could be something imminent. I know fans are tired of him and he's probably not a good guy to market, but they knew that months ago and could've done it then. Asking last night for him to be removed makes me think something is in the works.
Yes, this makes perfect sense. Kubiak and Smith are near completing a deal. As they get closer they think...wait, before we finalize this, we have to contact the most important people. The owner, the agents of the players...and of course the dude who posts pics on the website.
Yes, because clearly, Kubiak and Smith are the only people in the world who know about what's going on. Every organization has marketing and PR specialists who do these types of things during negotiations.
they also took him off their marketing materials, which were undoubtedly designed and produced months ago. i think it's simply another indication they realize carr isn't the best face to currently put on the franchise.
no, of course not - i was kidding. i would think david carr has a better chance of being a texan next year than DDW... so why is he still on there? it's silliness.
Which proves the point that it's pretty rare for the Texans to care at all about what banner is put up on their Web site. And that there might be a reason for that.
No - it proves my point that if they have DW on there they obviously don't care about it at all. To call someone and tell them take David off specifically and leave someone like DW on is telling - or atleast something to talk about.
If they don't care about it at all then why are you trying to read something into it? You are trying to argue the following: a) the Texans don't care about the webpage, b)the webpage changes, therefore c) the change must mean something. Huh? Point is, I seriously doubt the guys who make personnel decisions (Kubiak, Smith, McNair) are concerned about what pics are uploaded. My guess is the marketing department decided to change the advertising focus from Carr and they are the ones who told the webmaster to change the picture. And no I don't think McNair is informing the marketing department about imminent deals.
And they randomly decided to change the advertising focus on the same day that ESPN said Carr would (not probably) be traded and the same day that 610/Mark Berman said something was going on and could be done soon? The writing's been on the wall with Carr and the Texans for months now. Why suddenly was yesterday the day?
It could be random, or maybe they heard the rumors as well and they decided to change it. I do think the 610/Berman stuff is significant.
It should be noted that the Texans asked the message board team to take down Carr before the Cold Pizza report this morning or anything from 610 or Berman. So it's not like they're basing it off those particular rumors.
