This is an article from 2006 where the talk about the rift.

I have speculation from various reports that Politics among NFL owners have hurt our bids for another Super Bowl more than anything . It could all be completely untrue, but it has been mentioned many times from multiple sources. I don't know how much it really has to do with us losing out on the Super Bowl. I think the biggest factor is giving them to teams with new stadium....just like we got ours. The split among the owners however, appears to be real.

really?!?!

wow. i hope mcnair acts like a super snooty rich girl around the small market owners then. it's his money, and his decisions are going to be the most protective/beneficial to his franchise that he bought with his money. who is anyone to question his decisions? unless he fires everyone and renames them the buttflaps nobody should!

about the super bowl-i never really expected us to get another. i mean we had our SB for our new stadium...whoever has a new stadium is going to get theirs...so we have to wait until nobody has a new stadium AND we have the best non-new stadium?

if it really is a split that's keeping a SB out of houston then that is really silly because you're denying a guy who has gone out of his way (to the tune of $700 bajillion not to mention how much it costs him to throw a SB and then wanting to do it again a few years later) to make FOOTBALL look good for everyone, not the texans. the league is probably not going to choose a shoddy, run-down stadium to go to over any new stadium for the SB. duh.

case and point: dallas. dallas is getting a new b-fing spectacle for a stadium. dallas will assuredly also be hosting a super bowl within the next 3-5 years. duh. because dallas' stadium is going to be unreal, and the HOLES that some teams play in are built from stone and slave labor.
