    GREAT article about Earl's childhood in Houston. He thought the Continental building downtown was the Troll headquarters. nuff said.

    I love it when the Texans bring houstonians to the team, it would be neat if every NFL team had to use home grown talent--it would be Texans and Cowboys in the superbowl EVERY YEAR if that was the case! TEXAS FOOTBALL IS KING.

    I'd never heard of Trinity Gardens. My research led me to this:

    This alone makes him one of my favorite players on the team.

    I didn't know he was from Houston.
