Bad, Bad Weekend

What can you say about the Houston sports weekend? Not much. The Rockets lost, again. The Texans lost, again. NOT GOOD!!!!
The Rockets lost another lead against the Pistons on Saturday. At least it wasn't a big lead at the end of the third quarter like the games against T-Mac and Yao, did ok, but they had no help!!! Everyone else was in the single digits. This team is missing that spark. They are missing something. They play the Knicks tonight. Hopefully they can put something together and pull out a win.
The Texans must have been watching the Rockets last week. They played the same way. They had the lead and lost it with 9 freaking seconds left in the game. They made Losman and Evans look like probowl players. Petey Faggins was toast yesterday. He was burnt too many times. Out of Losmans 340 yards passing, Faggins was responsible for 265. Yes, it is a team sport, but everyone is responsible to do their part. He did not. The Defence played horrible in the first quarter and then when it really counted, the end of the game. Carr did ok. The INT he threw i think should have been caught. Clements just wanted the ball more than Johnson did. Congrats to Dunta Robinson on the well played INT that went for a TD. That was the only bright spot for the DB's. I hate that the team did ok for the most part, but they have nothing to show for it. All we can say is wait till next week. They are off now to go play the Jets.
At first, i was thinking they could beat the Jets. I am not so sure now. If the Texans were to have won yesterday's game, they would have had a good chance to be 8-8 this year. I was thinking wins over Buffalo, which came close. NYJ, Raiders, Titans, and Browns. I count on losses at New England and then home against the Colts. Its anybody's game any given Sunday, but at best now i predict maybe 2 more wins. You have to admit, this team is playing better than lasy year. Coach Kubiak is close to turning this thing around.
It was a crazy day in the NFL. I hate to see Bret Favre get hurt. He is one of my favorite all-time QB's in the NFL. Hopefully he gets the start next week. I feel bad for Donavon McNabb. He IS the heart and soul for the Eagles. That team is nothing now without him. There were a few upsets yesterday around the league. i think The Titans beating Philly was one, sorta. What do you expect without McNabb. The 49rs over Seattle was another upset. And then there is That game just north of here. The Cowboys over the overated Colts. I was in the middle here. I DO NOT LIKE THE COWBOYS!!! I don't care for the Colts. (I think because they always beat, no whip, the Texans). It's not like I really cared if the Colts went undefeated or not, I just hate it was the Cowboys who beat them. Now we have to hear Cowboy fan talk their mess. Way yo go, Colts!!!
What a game againt The Ohio State and Michigan. That game lived up to the billing!!! I have to admit, I was pulling for Michigan, not only because i am a fan, but because it would have been that feel good story because of the passing of their famed coach. But, I am sure even he appreciated the game it was although it went to the wrong team. Now they remain #2. Should they get another shot at the Buckeyes? It has the billing to be a hell of a game and I will be watching it on my HD.
Congrats to Jimmy Johnson for winning the Nextel Cup.
Congrats to Ryan Howard winning the NL MVP. I think he deserved it.
I hate to see Soriano sign with the cubs. There goes another big bat the Astros failed to get. It doesn't matter, because the Cubs won't win anyway.
