How about another Forum category called "Other Sports" for things like hockey, baseball, olympics, etc. - non-Houston related.

BTW, when the hell is Houston going to get an NHL team? I'm not sure how many Houstonians are watching the NHL playoffs, but they're fantastic this year. Much more offense than in the past. The Flyers and Capitals series was awesome. Love NHL playoff hockey!

The NHL playoffs are without question the best post-season tournament. There is nothing more exciting than overtime game 7 hockey.

Looks like there is two of us in town watching, maybe three if you include my fellow Islander fan in Charlie Palillo.

I couldn't ever get into Soccer even though I played most of life, until Houston got a team....and I'm nowhere near as obsessed with the Dynamo as I am with Texans, Astros, Rockets. I used to try and watch Hockey, but I just can't get into it. If Houston got a team I might start to care, but I doubt it. Someone said something the other day about the Stanley Cup playoffs...and I thought to myself that I didn't even know they had played the regular season.

I cannot get into soccer. I've been to a Dynamo game and I'd rather watch paint dry.

I always go to as many early season Astros games as possible while the roof is open, been to about 6 Rocket games this year, and a bunch of Aeros games. I am about to go into "be at home with the wife" mode for a few months, hang by the pool, take a vacation, then get ready for our yearly seperation called football season.

Here's a tip, Keith.

No photos of Demeco Ryans...

[Keith]

Yeah, the lack of photos here has nothing to do with my lack of graphical skillz.

I was actually just thinking the other day of going one big step further, opening a more general discussion forum. I would just limit any and all conversations that started toward a religious or political bent.

I'm thinking the new forum might help us stay sane in the offseason.

Speaking of the Dynamo, now that this thread has totally derailed, I have become a huge soccer fan. I think Dynamo games are a blast, going again this Saturday in fact. I've also caught onto the EPL, Liverpool specifically.

I can't do the EPL....I just don't have a dog in that fight. Although I did call my buddy in the UK to cuss him out and blame him for Tony Caig after his first three games post-Onstad. After the loss to Saprissa I haven't been watching as muc, but I will.
