September 2006 ArchivesYou have to like the way the pieces are Officially ,the Rockets have no comment . Just like you, I've watched the Astros go down You just have to shake your head. I mean really , What else is going to happen with Terrell Owens. I don't buy for a minute he was trying to commit suicide. No not the guy who loves himself more than his team, who loves to be the story more than the game. T.O. is all about T.O. It may have been a total misunderstanding mixing his medication with his supplements but he can't even do that without parading himself in front of the public and showing everyone how important he is while his Cowboy teammates try to get ready to win a game. So today all the players in Cowboys camp got to answer questions about their self centered wide receiver. Nothing about them or ... Let me start with a question, if a football team's offense In my mind, it comes down to two things . First, is starting I have been saying all along... the Texans season really starts the third week of the regular season. Yes fans it started and it started on a sour note. I was just looking at the little things during the game with the Redskins and the local pro football team made some of the most insane mistakes during their loss. It used to drive me crazy when players would put themselves above the team. An example was the play of defensive lineman Thomas Johnson. He has to be hating life today after what he did in the game. Two personal foul penalties cost the Texans big time. ...September 25, 1986 holds sweet memories for many longtime Astros fans -- including this one.
We're not about to crown the Astros National League Central Division Champions just yet, but their sweep of the Cardinals over the weekend brings back memories of the worst collapse in Major League History. The year was 1964, the city of was Philadelphia. The Phillies had a powerful team. Richie Allen was the Rookie of the year, and they had a right fielder named Johnny Callison who put up MVP numbers. With 12 games to play the Phillies led the National League, remember there weren't any divisions back then, by 6 1/2 games. The Phillies fell apart losing 10 straight and finishing 1 game behind the St. Louis Ca... Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell didn't have a Hallmark moment, Now I realize this is a new year , with a new coaching staff , and new It was the most relaxed clubhouse I've ever been in. This team has nothing to lose , so they are letting it all It's never boring when you hang around Roger Clemens. It seems like everything he does is just a little different but it's interesting. Recent case in point...we all thought we may have seen him pitch in person for the last time in Houston against the Reds on Wednesday afternoon, now we find out he is going to start Sunday nights game against the Cardinals at Minute Maid Park on three days rest. How cool is that!!!! Roger is the consumate pro and this is another indication he'll do what is asked to help the team and help the organization. Now before all of you go crazy on me and some of you have about the mon... According to defensive end Jason Babin, coach Karmelowicz Coach Karmelowicz can be an "old school" kinda guy, With the Bush administration underway in New Orleans, and At least until someone can separate themselves from the pack. What a setting at Minute Maid Park Wednesday afternoon. For the 32,000 Astros fans, it will stay with them forever. If you were watching it on TV, you'll never forget it. If you were listening to Milo Hamilton on the radio, you felt his emotion describing what was happening on the mound. The Rocket, Roger Clemens was pitching in what was possibly the last start ever in front of the home folks. We don't know what the future will be for him but we all know he can still tossed it at the highest level of anyone currently in baseball. Back to the situation. It was the top of the seventh inning as Roger strolled b... Everyone is speculating about the changes that will certainly be made on the Astros team during the upcoming off-season. Manager should not be one of them ....but ..... ...Roger Clemens is on the mound today at Minute Maid, and yes it may be his last hurrah, but then again it may not be. ...Who says a low scoring game can't be exciting. In a world where points are so tied with memorable moments, smash mouth football is over the top fun to watch. The defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers were on the road Monday night visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars where the Jags won 9-nothing. There were some tenacious hits!!!! What I saw last night brought back memories of a game I was involved in back in 1980 as the Houston Oilers hosted the Steelers in the Astrodome. I don't remember much about it other than it was a bloodbath, an old time knock down drag out battle. But I will never forget one play which ... Baseball fans are doing a lot of head scratching today after the Dodgers pulled off one the more incredible comebacks during a pennant chase. Trailing 9-5 to the Padres in the bottom of the 9th, the Dodgers cracked 4 homeruns to tie the game sending it to extra innings. In the 10th the Padres took the lead only to watch Nomar Garciaparra rip a 2 run homer in the bottom of the inning for the victory. It's only the 4th time in major league history 4 players have hit consecutive homeruns; the last time way back in 1964 when the Twins beat the Kansas City Athletics in 11 innings. Now the question comes what next? T... Before everyone gets bent out of shape with the way the Texans are playing just remember their season starts this week. There was no way they were going to win against a healthy Philadelphia team in the opener and there was certainly no way they were going to Indy and even come close to the Colts. They knew it, you knew it and so did everyone else in the world know it. ... >> Continue reading: From a quarterbacks perspective There is a lot of hooting and hollering coming out of Norman, Oklahoma today after the Sooners were robbed of a victory in Oregon over the weekend. As shown repeatedly over the weekend, dispite having replay at their disposal, the referees blew the call on an on-sides kick late in the game. The Quack attack pounced and the Sooners headed back to Oklahoma feeling like they were had. Since this was a battle between two non-conference teams, who should have called the game? The announcers said it was a PAC-10 crew, which would figure since Oregon is a PAC-10 school. But in reality, the NCAA should never allow thi... Maybe its just the baseball gods getting even with The Phillies topped the Astros 6-4 on Sunday completing In the blink of an eye it was over . If you did , you missed the first two touchdowns as Watching Texans cornerback dunta robinson glide through Robinson understands Peyton Manning will present a stern test After going to the Texans locker room on Wednesday What I saw was a Texans team that had already moved Quarterback David Carr talked about the fine job Emmitt Smith The Texans promised to make improvements in their running game On Wednesday, the team acquired running back Samkon Gado I was talking to Roger Clemens earlier today. He just got back from Minute Maid Park where he was testing his injured groin and he told me although it wasn't totally 100% he felt like he was on course to start Friday night when the team opens it's final homestand of the year playing Philadelphia. But the big question, is it too late for the Astros to make the playoffs? So I went nine for sixteen on my picks for the first week of the NFL season and I'm getting embarrassed by my co-anchor Lisa Foronda. She's actually very nice about the whole thing as she picked 11 right but just the fact that on the website it says "who beat Giff" and there's her smiling face is difficult to handle. I put a lot of research into what was going to happen in the games and thought I had it nailed. She used her own unique way which was so unsophisticated and she whipped up on not only me but also Greg and Len. So we will go at it again in week two and I'm guaranteeing a victory at least over her. ... The Texans were anixous to make a and on the openning drive vs the Eagles, If the Texans were nervous about Sunday's game vs I was in the team's locker room after a brief practice Texans rookie running back Wali Lundy got the starting On friday he told me, "Not in my wildest dreams did I think this was possible." Astros pitcher Brandon Backe had successful surgery on his right elbow today. The procedure is called Tommy John surgery which basically is a reconstruction of the tendons in his throwing arm.
AUSTIN -- As I attended Wednesday's workout at the Longhorns outdoor practice field ..... I was struck by a number of different images. The Texans Wednesday lockerroom session Even defensive end Anthony Weaver, who's starting |
