When I think of Monday Night Football, I think of Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, and Frank Gifford. I escpecially loved halftimes back in those days. Howard Cosell describing the Sunday’s previous games was something to look forward to every Monday night. I don’t really care for the current crop of announcers doing Monday night’s. I don’t dislike them. I just don’t like them.

An odd thing happens to me when I’m around family in Dallas. I find myself rooting for the Cowboys. Ordinarily, when I’m in Houston, the Cowboys are the last team I want to watch play football.

Following the 1996 football season, the Houston Oilers would not play another football game in Houston. Bud Adams, the owner of the Oilers and now the Titans was moving his team to Tennessee.

The Texans are looking forward to a big game next week on Monday Night Football.  The Jacksonville Jaguars come to town with the same losing record the Texans have at 4-7.  Make no mistake, this will be a great Monday Nighter.  These two teams play one another about as physcial as any combination in the NFL.
Jacksonville lost yesterday to the Minnesota Vikings.  The Vikings whooped up on them in fairly easy fashion.  The final score was 30-12.  The Jaguars were out of the game before it started giving the Vikings 14 points on a pair of fumbles in the first 2 minutes [...]

So, Happy Thanksgiving Texans fans. We get to root for a good group of players. I think John McClain would say that we don’t root for punks, jerks, or losers!
