[Chron] The first question Gary Kubiak will hear today: Who will be the No. 1 Pick?

Chance. Might as well save some time and money and take down your website, because it isn't happening.

Seeing VY in a Texans uniform at this point would be the equilavent of seeing unicorn, roaming free in the wild.

 

trust casserly, nice try.

 

What do you mean? That VY would make them different? I'm not being argumentative at this point, I just didn't connect the dots as to what you're talking about.

 

I've heard that Capers had strong input into personnel decisions. But, I have no reference and I may be off-base. At any rate, as bad as they've been I feel pretty confident that neither of the two of us would have done any better. (No offense intended.)

 

I know, but I just have a feeling they are not gonna really evaluate this as they should. and that's not saying they should take Young, just that they should really see this as an opportunity to right some wrongs, instead of just looking at last season as a bump in the road.

 

What are the wrongs as you perceive them?

 

You know... This thread has made me think... a lot.

I really haven't invested much into this team. Even though I'm a Houstonian, these guys have only been Houstonians for 4 years.

I've had my son for seven years, and he's just starting to grow on me. At 4, I could have taken or left him.

4 years isn't a long enough investment in anything.

So with that said, if the Texans don't draft Dwayne Slay in the second round, I'm done with this team. It will easily show that Texan's management has their head up their butts. I'll follow Slay wherever he plays because he is that good.

Thanks for opening my eyes, fellas.

 

Classic.

 

I lost it on this.

 

see that's the problem I have, fatty may have gone over the top with comparing the team to his son, but the sentiment is lost. this "I have to love the texans because they are houston's franchise" mentality. no I don't.

 

I hope when I have kids, I don't compare them to sports franchises.

 

Vy would make them different. At least for a while. It would show that the Houston part of their name is important. And that selection is what would transform me into a lifelong Texans fan. i have had "that" moment with the Astros (being a kid and meeting the players and staff), with the Rocket (Dream going from UH to The rockets), and UT (failing out of UT). I would love to have that connection with The Texans.

On a side note, FFB that was funny as hell.

 

Like you know something, you don't know squat.

You wanna debate why the Texans should take Bush...Come on.
But to act all smug and superior is just posturing.

What are other teams offering behind the scenes for Carr? Are you tapping Charlie's phone?

What trade down scenario's are being discussed between coaches and general managers around the league. Do you know? I don't even believe the final offers will come for another 90 days.

Vince-o-manics have a burning passion to see one of those "too good to Be true" sports stories come to fruition. We may be blind to the disappointing truth at this point , but why would you want to stomp on a dream?

Maybe you are one of those guys that denies your own emotions because you can't deal with the pain of disappointment. Deep down you know you really want Vince too ....real bad.

Preach it Chance! Lead the movement! We will support Vince in numbers that cannot be denied!
( this will be the draft party to end all draft parties')

 

A rare home run post for the sultan of the milkshake, the king of the kabob, the colossus of crispy nuggets.. the fatty fat b*stard.

 

I hope for you and your son that's tongue-in-cheek.

 

Wouldn't it be great to see the Vince Young led ("led" being the operative word) Texans march into Texas Stadium next season and stomp the Cowboys.

 

I hope when you have kids, you don't have to go through Hell and back to keep them in your lives.

Honestly, you don't remember any of my battles with my ex?

Seriously, man. Learn the levity of a situation.

 

My favorite comeback is "if you stop rooting for the texans, then you're not a fan"

Of course you're not a fan. That's why you stopped rooting for them. Duhh.

I mean, I guess the "true fans" of the glorious texans past can stick with it and condemn the rest.. but so what? I wasn't a fan 5 years ago. Neither were they. Franchises are created, transferred, die out - so do sports fans' loyalties.

 

Of course I do and it really sucked that you had to go through that. I've voiced that many times.

It sounded like your post was comparing your attachment to your child to your attachment to the Texans. I apologize if I misread that.

 

This page right here should clue everyone in as to who the Texans are drafting. His picture is third on the flash part, the main section, of the page. And it has been for weeks.
