**** you, Bud Adams!
I dropped my emotional attachment to Houston teams a long time ago. My dog thanks me for it since it's quieter now during games
At least I have Blount on my FF team.

They were so outclassed it's not even funny. Completely clowned like little *****es.
If you thought the Texans were going to be good, you're gonna have a bad time.
How many millions?? and we get this!!! A cross between Big Bird and Brian Hoyer.
All on the coaches the way the team fell apart in every aspect. Defense wasn't ready. Special teams was comical and the offense was inept. Good thing we go back to playing ****ty teams with ****tier coaches.
Possibly the worst loss in this pathetic franchise history. When you factor in the supposed talent on this team and the fact that the opponent had a rookie QB this may be the worst. A shutout in the NFL is quite rare and should be a HUGE wake up call that this regime in totally inept.
I quit the NFL when the Oilers left and only follow the Texans with middling interest so its really no big deal. Don't have to waste my Sundays anymore on NFL football.

**** you, Bud Adams!
Bottom Line Bud was a total ******* and a bully BUT he was also a founder of the AFL and fought like HELL to make sure that Houston had a franchise. He was damn near forced out of town by the POS Lanier and we ( Houston) have paid the price ever since.
Did jj watt have a single tackle last night?
The idiots sure do come out thick after a game like that.

Exactly!
College Football for me....supporting the Aggies is just like supporting the Oilers...just tease you with enough hope every year....
I watched Clemson vs. GA Tech for the 8 minutes I managed to stay awake instead of this game. Sounds like I chose wisely.
Plus, the NFL turning into a political hack of an organization is really making it harder and harder to watch the games as it is anyway.

that's what remotes are for. change the channel.
The Texans are cursed. The Cowboys will win another 5 before they win one. (Might be a hundred years, but still).

Why anyone thinks it is okay to publicly fund stadiums of any kind is beyond me.

Unfortunately, the ownership class and political class are very cozy with each other and there are enough meathead voters that will approve just about any bond package the second a team threatens to leave town.
If the US would force the league to install a promotion and relegation system, owners would lose their ability to dangle their local monopoly over politicians and voters. Product on the field sucks? BAM. Relegated to the CFL. Want a new stadium or you'll leave town? Spend your own money or its bye Felicia. New club (or different local club) will take the old place.
hey, the astros have a shot at the wild card, still. give them some love, forget the loser texans!
Original Ag always seems to have an oddly revisionist view of history.
quote:yep. I may be off on the amount that Bottom Line was willing to pay. I remember a bigger amount but that was a lot of dead brain cells ago HOWEVER... It was Lanier that refused to deal with Bud. Whatever the amount offered it was a NEGOTIATION and His Holiness refused to even play. No doubt the amount would have been greater BUT it takes 2 to negotiate. Not revisionist just a fact. Of course Bud was so hated in Houston that many short sighted folks just said let him go. We were all mad as hell over his ownership but it really was the arrogant Lanier I Rex that blew it.

I was there and know several of the insiders from the city government back then. His Majesty was actually shocked when Bid called his bluff and it cost the taxpayers pert near a BILLION to build the new play pen for the new Billionaire to house his multi-millionaire game players.....
The Oilers never should have been forced out. As bad as they were they were a much better franchise than the zoo we have now. The new owner is a class act and a genuine nice guy, 180 deg from Bottom Line YET..Bud's boys have been to the dance and have an actual history. Would love to have them back sans the dead Adams !
AND I also agree that publicly funded sports play pens are a disaster. In a sane world the owners would pay for their own palaces. Perhaps let the cities put in the infrastructure needed to support and the like BUT not build the stadium. Sadly no city is going to unilaterally disarm and many believe the BS myth that these monstrosities and the pro teams actually contribute to the local economy. Not a single credible study supports the great sports myth !
quote:If you are talking about NRG, it cost just under $500 million to build of which about $290 million was publicly funded. Which is $290 million too many dollars but nowhere near $1 billion...I digress...quote:yep. I may be off on the amount that Bottom Line was willing to pay.

Regarding Bud, keep in mind he first threatened to leave if the county did not let him rip the beloved scoreboard out of the Astrodome to install 10,000 extra seats. The county caved and the people were pissed off to no end. Bud knew then that he was done in Houston. Oilers support dropped off drastically after that fiasco. Remember the threat of TV blackout every single week because they couldn't sell out? I do. Bud knew the city wasn't going to finance a new stadium no matter what so he tossed his number out there to make Lanier and company look like a-holes. Then he took his ball and ran off to Nashville.
quote:My bad. Should be It cost Houston almost a BILLION for the stadiumS we had to build for the BillionaireS.. Reliant, Enron and the basketball palace ( can't remember its name) when they ALL threatened to leave to greener pastures back to back to back. I was hoping that Houston would be the first City Of Sanity and tell them ALL to go to HELL and be the only major city in America not to be held hostage by the robber barons of sports. If ALL pro sports ceased to exist it wouldn't bother me a bit.. and I am a recovering Oiler and Astros season ticket holder...

Its insane what the sports elite are doing to the locals. It now where the very idiots who vote for these palaces can't go see their beloved thuggery due to the cost of a ticket. Marie Antoinette would feel right at home in the Lux-O-Boxes of modern sports palaces.....
Texans became dead to me when they passed up on JFF. Now I just have to laugh at them and their fans. Lifelong Houstonian and I HATE the Texans. Have fun with your $70MM loser QB and slacker ass Jadayveon Clowney.
I don't know why anyone invests emotionally in this team at all. They've always been crap and will always be crap.

He was an entity all to himself and it almost ruined the Oilers. He was as arrogant as Lanier. Bud DID suck up to the yokels in Nashville and got a sweet deal out of it in return.

But what Montreal does have is EPIC strip joints.
