PrintTomorrow afternoon, your Houston Texans will play the first postseason game in their franchise's history. Where will you be?
Reliant Stadium?
Your house?
A neighborhood tavern?
With assorted ne'er-do-wells at a watch party?
In a sound-proofed rubber room?
If you're looking for somewhere to watch the game with fellow Texans fans, tell us where you are in the Comments. There's a chance someone in the BRB community can suggest a venue for you.

Isn't Istanbul Constantinople?
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople

In Marylebone station?
I’ve never been there before so I’m not sure what its called, I just know its in a Sports Bar in the station, shouldn’t be too hard to find hopefully, if I see someone in a Texans jersey I’ll ask haha
I've just checked again
and its called the Sports Bar and Grill Marylebone, so if your friend is struggling for a viewing place they’re definitely showing the game
She's since decided she's staying home and streaming the game.
Next year, if I’m out there during one of the games, we should get whatever Texans fans in London we can get together and stream a game. This pub my friend used to frequent in West Hamstead used to let her stream the Texans games to one of the big TVs.
ahh fair enough
and yeahhh definitely, I’ll keep searching for fans and hopefully we’ll have quite the group by the time you or any other BRBer comes over, that would be quite cool.
can you take a picture at the tower?
with the jersey on? I want to post it all over the interwebs to show we are world wide…
That goes for anyone out of country, I am lookin at you tGC! Landmarks and jerseys! I want to make a montage of Texans round the world! where is that Kiwi Bloke!

Referee Clete Blakeman calling our game (the one we had vs Steelers)
http://www.battleredblog.com/2012/1/6/2686989/nfl-referee-clete-blakeman-scheduled-for-texans-game
I remember the froth of venom we were spewing in this forum over that horrid officiating even though we came out of the game with a win. I’ll take you back to that week with this thread: http://www.battleredblog.com/2011/10/2/2464348/texans-17-steelers-10-ridiculous-officiating-34#79107433
So much for the NFL having a review and grading process for referees and NOT assigning them to signal playoff and Superbowl games eh?
He better get this game right. If there are any blatantly bad calls that swing this game resulting in a loss for the Texans, he might make history on YouTube defending himself against some 75,000 fans.
If our team gets beat by another team, I can live with it. If refs get involved and influence the outcome despite obvious evidence to the contrary, it makes the NFL look like a rigged pro-wrestling product.
Clete, you better not &*&#$ this up!
So much for the NFL having a review and grading process for referees and NOT assigning them to signal playoff and Superbowl games eh?
Or, what does it tell you about the talent pool the NFL has to choose from? Feh.
This is a good read on the NFL's review process for officiating and challenges submitted by owners/coaches
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/20/AR2008092002057.html
Here are some highlights from the news article, but I highly recommend reading the whole thing:
The gaffes are tallied. A failure to call a penalty that should have been called is a six-point deduction. Calling a penalty that wasn’t a penalty is a 10-point deduction. An incorrect judgment is a deduction of anywhere from six to 10 points, depending on the severity. A perfect score would be 100.
At the end of the season, the grades are added up and the eight highest-ranking officiating crews qualify for the first two rounds of the playoffs. Those crews stay intact to work the first two weekends of the postseason. The final two rounds of the postseason, the conference championship games and the Super Bowl, are worked by mixed crews consisting of the highest-ranked officials at each position. (There also is an experience requirement; rookies can’t work the playoffs and it takes five years to be eligible for the Super Bowl.)
At the other end of the spectrum, the grades also determine which officials are in danger of being dismissed. The league sets what it regards as a minimum standard, and any official whose grade for the season falls below that standard is put on probation. If the same official misses the standard for a second straight season, he’s in jeopardy of being dismissed. The average annual turnover, including retirements, is about six officials, Pereira said. After last season, it was seven.
I’m not convinced this process is working. It’s either:
A) The talent pool of available referees is so shallow that we still have bad ones suiting up
B) The NFL is simply a rigged entertainment complex and not the athletic competition it claims to be, with direct manipulation to favor certain larger revenue markets and their teams
C) Corruption of some individuals within an otherwise legitimate organization
As a fan, I seriously hope it is not “B”. So that leaves us with “A” and “C” which means “some” referees (like Clete Blakeman and Bill Levy) are either inept or corrupt.
I lean toward B or C
Some games seem to lean too far toward one team for it not to be either rigged by the NFL or officials on the take. The Seattle-Pitt Super Bowl, Hou-Indy in Indy this year are the 2 most blatant ones I can think of right now. Do you know how much money bookies made on the Indy game? Had to be emormous. I can see calling some penalties that could be called close on a team, but flat out ignoring penalties that everyone in the world watching the game can see against the other team screams its fixed.
Clarification on B
I dont think the NFL picks the winners, but I am beginning to believe they tell the officials to keep the game close. And, they do this by calling penalties on one team, while ignoring penalties on the other.
I think it's simple incompetence, coupled with endemic confusion
due to the NFL’s impossible demands on the judgement of officials who are not professionals.
Ignoring penalties

Well since Time Warner can not get its shit together I don't have NBC.
So I will ask it here.
Any BRB’rs in Corpus Christi? Want to meet up at some place that will show the game?

God it feels good to be playing a meaningful game in January.

So freaking pumped! Driving from Austin tomorrow morning so I can tailgate and staying at my sister’s place so I don’t have to drive home. I figure whatever the result I’ll probably end up hammered.

Houston Texans Grille?
Me and the spousal unit might go there. Has anyone been there?
It all depends on how soon we can get up and get ready.
I went there after the game last week for the afternoon games
It was alright as far as sports bars go. The food and drinks were on par with most. Nothing that stood out great or bad. Good atmosphere overall, and great service. The margaritas were good. The wings and quesadillas were good. Lot’s of TVs with a good mix of games covering all the NFL.
In fairness I prefer the beer selection at Yardhouse, but the service there can be questionable at times (lazy and snobby). They also sometimes have other sports on (not all NFL) so getting the right viewing spot can be a challenge.

Great news!
I have known a couple children with Down Syndrome, and met a few adults with it. The children are incredible, it is as though they know only how to be positive and happy. The adults I have met were able to lead fairly normal lives, with jobs and their own apartments and such.
Consider it a blessing. I wish I had the constant life loving mentality exhibited by some of those who have Down. There’s a lot to learn from them, and a lot for you to look forward to with your son.
My girl with CF is one of the happiest children I've ever known.
Even with all the extra she has to do, she almost always has a huge smile on her face.

We are getting some awesome proud papa comments this week.
It has to be a good omen.
That's The Best News I've Heard All Day
And it will trump whatever happens at Reliant tomorrow.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I'll be watching from
Section 110, Row Z.
My dad has had season tix since the inaugural season. I come back home from San Antonio for big games. I stayed in SA for the Falcons game and I heard it was the loudest Reliant has ever been. So, I’m definitely not missing this one lol.
I plan to be highly intoxicated before I even get to my seats ;-)
Watching it from Canada
I’m the only person I know in thats a Texans fan where I live.

Lower section of Reliant Stadium
I can’t wait to yell my freakin head off. I missed the Atlanta game’s awesomeness, and it wasn’t the same the remaining games. I can’t wait to hear the crowd during our first ever playoff game.
Looking forward to the day that Houston dominates in all three sports. But for now I'll take just one.
Section 123 row cc

Studio Movie Grill...
From what I understand, they’re showing the game there for free… I’m guessing on one of the movie screens with 2$ off beers(which are normally like 8 bucks!). Does anyone know anything about it? I don’t know too much except the doors open at 2:45 and it’s free and I think the cityplace SMG is showing it, but not sure about any others.
Anyone know anything?
I've got nothin'...
I'm a hermit, otherwise I'd buy a ticket and go to the game.
So, at home yelling, screaming, palms sweating, with my blood pressure at dangerous levels.
My parents are putting on a watch party
on their new backyard patio. Chicken enchilada dip, seven-layer bean dip, and a fridge stocked w/ Sam Adams Winter Lager… nom nom nom
Between Sam Houston and the Texans, gonna be a full day.
Kubiak believes in you
I wish I could be there.
We took our family vacations in NB most years when I was growing up.
Is Camp Warnecke still there?
At home, unfortunately.
But apparently my cousin is dating a girl who’s best friend is going out with one of the Texans coaches (I haven’t found out who yet), so that damn bastard got tickets from his girlfriend and gets to sit with the players’ wives in Reliant. DAMN HIM! He’d better be loud….
Having a Texans party at my house
tailgating begins at noon, having BBQ, beer and whatever else anyone decides to bring along for intoxicating or feasting.
Beer, it's not just for breakfast anymore
I just signed up for Pay TV
I checked the listings last night, and the local Sky Sports channel has all the play off games. Normally it is only the AFC side.
So, after having it taken off me in July, I have forked out the $30 for a month of the Sport channel so that I may watch (and Record) the Texans first ever Playoff game. (And their 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th).
Kick off is 10:30am local time, just late enough for pizza, dorritos and beer to be acceptable.
