I don't think so, especially when we've spent more than the GDP of some continents to be able to sack Peyton Manning and still have almost nothing to show for it.

Excellent point Bob. And mussop was 100% correct as I hate Dallas and Snyder (but barrett has trouble understanding me).

Getting back to Bob's point, we have spent big dollars in an attempt to get to Peyton Manning. What did that really cost us? At best we have a mediocre secondary, at best. After six years in the league we have one, maybe two if we count DeMeco, PB players on defense and 8 wins?

Look, the chances of the Texans winning the SB are slim. It's difficult no matter what the team name is otherwise we would have repeat teams year after year. This makes the Patriots truly special imo. But this being the fact I will GLADLY take a team that wins 10 or 11 games and loses in the playoffs. And clearly this doesn't happen with a bunch of no namers unless you have a very special front office and coaching staff (see Dolphins).

Yes, give us some splashy named players but up to this point they can't. Know why? Because we have sucked. We have been the laughing stock of the NFL. Come on guys, the stinkin Raiders get more respect than we do and they truly suck.

Eh, I'm done. No matter how much is or is not spent, it did not cost me a penny. One way or the other we will be in cap Hades in due time with this regime but I think our wins will be in the range I'm looking for.

Thanks for your patience.

McClain's latest article on the Texans:
Quote:
In free agency, they will look at defensive linemen, linebackers, a backup quarterback, a blocking tight end, and depth in the offensive line and secondary, but they don’t figure to be in that group of big spenders that will be guaranteeing players $25 million or more.

Arizona left defensive end Antonio Smith is one of the players they covet most. A lot of teams are after him. ...

The Texans also want to sign a veteran quarterback like Detroit’s Dan Orlovsky or Cincinnati’s Ryan Fitzpatrick

If I ever run into Dan Schneider I'm going to have to buy him a beer...and then see if I can get him to give me a bunch of money. I've convinced people at bars of everything from pitching for the Astros to being a defensive end at UT. I ought to be able to get a few mill from him,

I am glad that he is out of our division, but is his signing really good for us? DeMeco is looking for an extension, Dunta is looking for a long term deal, etc, etc, etc. I think that this deal is bad for everyone not named Haynesworth or whatever his agent's name is.

Pete Harnish and I had a girl convinced I was him once, didn't get me a million $, but it was fun messing with her head. BTW Dwayne Henry was our driver, Harnish was Henry, it was funny.

I had a buddy convince everyone at a bar that he was Chris Simms (back when he was at UT). That man was a master of making up BS at bars. He had a girl he met on spring break fly to Austin for a surprise visit...too bad he wasn't even going to school at Texas.
