I Think I Think Peter King Hates Us
by Keith Weiland
Keith@IntheBullseye.com

Really, Peter King? Texans fans are not passionate about their team? Really.

Texans fans hail from the great football state of Texas. No, we don’t care much for girls field hockey and lattes here. We care for Friday Night Lights and the church of pigskin. We worship at the temple of football, and our temple is named Reliant Stadium.

We’ve kept the faith, jamming the pews game after game, even after five years of Mr. Mittens under center. Carolina couldn’t hang with us on that one, Peter King.

Don’t mistake the ineffectiveness of an expansion team with your perceived apathy of an informed, sophisticated fan base. Houston fans haven’t had a playoff team in fifteen years, yet there will be more than 70,000 fanatics in attendance at our home opener thinking this is finally the year.

Out of our minds? Nope. It will be our year.

In fact, Texans fans deserve bonus points for going at this with such passion a second time around. We were once jilted by the NFL, Peter King, and we still get no respect from national media blowhards for standing up to an over-zealous owner wearing a possum on his head. Yet here we are again, at the altar of professional football, praying on Sundays, keeping the faith. Now that’s “NUTTY”. Just ask Los Angeles. And what’s more, that’s better than just passion, that’s resilience fueled by passion.

I’m a Texan, Peter King, and you’re not, so don’t knock what you don’t understand. Texans fans have suffered like no other NFL fan before them, and we’re still here, as indestructible as ever. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, and the great fans of the Houston Texans are as strong as they come.
