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.

Slaton is coming off his best running game as a Texan. He ran all over the Indianapolis Colts in last weeks loss. One of his runs went for 71 yards which is the current Texan record.

To hear the fans talk, you’d think the Texans were the Aggies after losing to perennial whipping boy, Baylor.

If the Texans can figure out what happens to their defense in the second half, they’ll be competitive the rest of the way.

There have been some dumb arguments in Houston claiming that Matt Schaub is a brittle, soft, weak, frail quarterback.  Pick your word, but use any of those terms to describe the Texans quarterback and you’d be wrong.
