I understand how the QB can call out the Mike. I actually used the term Mike. But that was not the reference he used it in. He really called him the "middle linebacker" for the Houston Texans. Believe me, I do know that it is petty, it was just interesting to me, because we are finally starting to get some positive national attention. It has not been uncommon for national analyst to jack up names and positions with the Texans.

But I guess I can give him the benefit of a doubt; until recently we have not had much to be recognized for.
