Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Introduce Yourself (Right On!)

With a new season on the horizon, and optimism the highest it will likely be in all of 2010, traffic is steadily growing here on Battle Red Blog.  This is a request from us for you to register and get involved in the conversation. The majority of most blogs, message boards and other team communities have their fair share of lurkers. That's to be expected. But this is us asking you to not be scurred and let your voice be heard.

Seriously, it takes under a minute to register with SB Nation, and it's free. Sure, you'll open yourself up to possible ridicule or debate, but that's what makes sports great, isn't it? We have some of the most passionate fans I've ever seen around here and we're always looking for a few more.

Don't be afraid of post count or rep or any of that garbage here; that isn't taken into account. Sure, MDC, Rivers and bfd may seem like big grumpy predators, but I assure you that they're just a handful of the sweetest guys you'll ever talk Texans football with. Real teddy bears...so take a minute, register and, as Chuck Mosley once said, introduce yourself (Right On!).

i’m excited about finally seeing preseason games out here, as it’s never happened in this area before (without directv or dish). i used to have to get NFL sunday ticket just to watch most Texans games.

(Walks To Imaginary Microphone)

I don’t think I did this on any of the other “Introduce Yourself” threads, so now’s as good a time as any…

My name’s Tim (not my real name, of course…this is the internet, so we must remain vigilant in guarding our privacy, because, you know, identity theft and/or chat roulette). I grew up in Katy, went to college on the Forty Acres (which is why I can never bring myself to hate Vince Young), came back to Houston to attend trade school, and now work in the private sector here, where I aspire to mold a career that would make Lionel Hutz proud.

I’ve been fortunate (cursed?) enough to be immersed in the world of Texans fandom since the inaugural season, and with the help of everyone who reads and comments here, have been privileged to help BRB grow since it opened its doors in 2007. Here’s hoping the 2010 season is the one that causes me to change my sig line.

As far as the McClain disrespect, you must realize that none of us know him on a personal level. Some just don’t like his “insider” attitude. To me, it’s just poking fun. I can’t speak for the other writers here. But when it comes to Richard Justice, that’s all 100% white hot hate from me.

by TexansDC on Aug 5, 2010 10:46 AM CDT up reply actions  

The problem most people here have with the guys at the Chronicle mostly stem from the type of coverage they give the Texans

Justice is on record saying he’s doing his job if people hate him, and McClain seems to be nothing more than a mouthpiece for the front office. The biggest thing is that most people here are looking for more hardcore coverage. We want every detail. We want to analyze every play. The problem is that the Chronicle writers are aiming at a more casual audience for the most part…with occasional get people mad to generate page hits/comments post written in.

I don’t hate McClain. I get tired of his “I remember when” stories. I get tired of how often he repeats things “Glover Quinn didn’t allow a TD last year”, and I don’t think he brings much to the table. If he breaks a story it’s because the Texans were ready for him to break it.

I think Justice can do some good things, but mostly reverts to writing whatever creates the most shock value versus honest analysis. In his defense I think that’s what his boss wants him to do.

Re: McClain

Welcome back, USMC_Texas. Those are great stories about McClain, and I appreciate you sharing them. You won’t read me attacking the guy’s character.

In fact, not to speak for anyone else, but I don’t think it’s a case of people disliking McClain as a person. I think it’s a case of people souring on print media in general and complaining that McClain tends to be more of a mouthpiece for the organization than a third-party reporter. I take that criticism with a grain of salt, because many of my buddies tell me Smithiak could light my house on fire, tell me it’ll help the team, and I’d rationalize the move.

I don’t want to be seen as a Pancakes sympathizer. I like his stories. He has so many. But, I have found recently that they have started to become repetitious. It’s like, “Haven’t I heard this one before?”

But, yes, I have bandwagoned the theory that Pancakes is a Texans’ mouthpiece, especially around draft time when I do believe he is being used as the Texans’ smokescreen, putting stories out there for other teams to hear.

I’ll be the first to admit that I am pretty hard on the guy. But I’m 78% certain it has not really been on a personal level.

But I have absolutely ZERO professional respect for the lead NFL Writer of the 4th largest city in the States, when he can’t even get our players names correct. Much less the retarded softball questions that get asked at the press conferences.

Even the casual fan should expect a little more than that out of the paper’s “top dog” for the Texans.

I’m sure McClain is a nice guy, but I guess I see him as a symbol of MSM nowadays. He’s not good with facts, he doesn’t chase his stories very well, and he doesn’t put a lot of research or effort into his job. Plus, I find the mouthpiece idea to be very true.

Then we get a massive roll of Det-Cord, and mount it sideways on a pole in the parking lot….so that it may easily spin.

Then we tie the end of the Det-Cord securely around the waist of Jessica Simpson. We proceed to instruct Ms. Simpson that inside of that sealed envelope is the world’s greatest secrets to having a career….or talent, for that matter.

The RC truck/car is then remotely operated from the parking lot (we will have a BRB Raffle for the honors), and driven through all areas of Jerry-World. Of course, in her desperate attempt to secure that envelope, Ms. Simpson will weave a massive web of Det-Cord throughout the stadium.

Once the timer goes off, or we run out of beer (whichever happens 1st), then the Det-Cord shall be connected to the detonator and triggered.

The world is instantly a better place for all….especially the children.

Here's another option

Tie the Det-Cord around Nate Newton (around his ankle preferably, or else you’d run out of cord) & gives him clues where you stashed about 400 lbs of marijuana & let him wander around the stadium before you detonate
