Does this bother anyone else??

By AstrosBill on Jul 29 2011, 9:45a 7

Does the current "sports status" of Houston bother anyone else. We're are a major city with the "Big 3" in sports. Does it bother anyone else that we're rarely consider a "great" sports town? It is understandable looking in from the outside. Drayton McLane bought an 81-81 (1992) team in 1993 and turned it into a team that will; more than likely, lose 100 games and they have not mattered since 2005. I don't know what Bob McNair is doing; Gary Kubiak turned a 6-10 Texans team into a 6-10 team that has never even sniffed the playoffs. Les Alexander hasn't been able to get the Rockets into serious contention since 1997 when Stockton tore our hearts out. And if your on the same page with me; no one has even made a legitimate attempt to bring the NHL here.

What in the world has happened to Houston as a sports town?? We're quickly turning into Cleveland.
