I'm so sick of these stupid a$$ Northeastern buttholes and their comments. The guy went to school in Michigan?!?! Yeah i'd rather be in Michigan freezing my a$$ off for half the year rather than enjoy year-round t-shirt weather here in Houston. Maybe if you come from intercontinental airport to downtown, Houston is ugly, but I live near Shephard and Grey and work on San Felipe. My office view is full of plush trees and I drive past memorial park, river oaks and see the beautiful houston skyline from my home. Go back to Michigan instead of acting like you're some sophisticated Bostonian or New Yorker. People I know from there say that city sucks...its full of mad rude, unemployed losers. Cough..Cough...there was some beauty in the Pistons crowd/pacers fight you loser. Maybe that loser should put some more makeup on his own face first: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...q=rich+eisen&start=20&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&sa=N
They didn't allow 1 sack in the first 2 pre-season games. I consider that very uplifting. Perhaps they might turn it around this year. You've bashed the coaches, gm, and the players. What gives? This team has gotten better in some ways, but you won't focus on the positive side. Perhaps you need to root on another team.
Like I said, I know Houston isn't known for it's beauty. It just bothers me a little that a television football host would use a football discussion to slam the city. I hope word gets back to the Texans when he wants to interview them, an ugly team from an ugly city. I would love to watch them banter.
Depends on what you like and where you drive. I personally love driving home from my friends straight down Memorial. Between 610 and Gessner, that's a pretty drive. The skyline is one of the best in America. People could say the same thing about Austin if they just drove through on I-35. I do remember there not being one single strip center in Austin when I lived there, must still be the same. Omaha, Des Moines, Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Milwaukee (despite being a cool city), Indianapolis, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Wichita...yeah, all prettier than Houston. I'm not sure why you hate this town so much.
I'm trying to figure that out as well. I'm not sure I've ever seen a positive post from Baqui99 on anything Houston related. The GM sucks, the Texans suck, the cities suck. It's annoying, which is probably what he's trying to accomplish. I'm interested to see how another training camp with the new zone blocking scheme will help the line. They may not have addressed it with a big name signing, but they did get at least one new backup who could end up being the starter.
After spending the weekend shuttling between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, I can tell you that I have never encountered a filthier stretch of this nation. Philly is the most disgusting city I have ever been in, with the possible exception of Jersey City, NJ. It's old, run down, dirty, and people are crammed in with very little space or privacy. The quality of life is abysmal. Houston is 100% better than that, and has a ton of very nice, scenic areas. If Rich Eisen's experience is limited to the drive in to town on 45 from Intercontinental, then I could see his point partially, but if he explored the city even to a small degree by going over to Memorial Park, the Galleria, Hermann Park, etc, then his opinion would change.
Don't you love those billboards that don't have a sign ont hem yet that say. "Wondering if Billboards work?" "It just did" Gets on my nerves....yes it works and probably causes damn accidents as well Can't stand the area of the Westpark Tollway right at Dunvale...anytime we have any kind of hard rain it turns into a swimming pool. They built that thing so fast and didn't account for any type of good drainage for the water build up...let me guess they will eventually close it down to do some construction on it to fix it cuasing even more traffic.
Look, I love Houston, grew up there, but it is ugly. And the air and water in NYC are better than the air in Houston.
I'll take Houston's air, water, ugliness, heat & humidity any day of the week over NYC's cost of living. Paying over a half million dollars to live in a 600 sqft shoebox is pure unadulterated insanity.
Oh... my... God... Swoly learned how to type in bold, rather than capitalizing. Now if we can teach him how to italicize, this will be a truly remarkable day.
Maybe the inferiority complex statements are true... a topic that has nothing to do with Dallas brings this out...
How about Austin Lounge Lizards lyric via Kinky Friedman: "I moved back to Dallas to see if anything was worse than loosing you."
