Two and Oh yeah.... I forgot, we're terrible
The following is the latest from Mr. McClain:
The Texans are capable of finishing 8-8, but they need to split these next two road games against teams competing for wild-card berths. Winning both would be too much to expect of a team that's never had a winning record.While I have to agree that its a long road to hoe, I'm still holding out hope. Unfortunately, the self appointed General of Houston sports sees fit to piss all over it. I guess writing a story with a bit of optimism would be too much to expect from the bandwagon's jumpmaster.

McTurd
He should have known from the beginning he had no shot and the she was playing him to start her career as a journalist (I had to stop laughing to finish typing that sentence. Seriously, is that her day job?)

mcturd redux
As I intimated recently, the Jurassic media, such as the Houston Comicle, jumped the shark many years ago. As if to prove my point with a flourish, you publish this absolute turd of an article.
Forgetting such basic math concepts such as prior performance is no guarantee of future performance or that as variables (aka players, coaches, your BAC) change, the outcome will change, I will again pound on a theme that has become blatantly obvious to any reader with an education level north of Richard Justice, or about the 4th grade.
You, Mr. McClain, hate the Texans. Whether it's the unrequited love syndrome that so affects Justice due to his man-crush on Vince Young, or whether you seem to enjoy inflicting Solomon-esque pain, I am not quite sure. Perhaps, it's a little of both? Or am I missing something?
Now, I'm sure your defense will be, "But I mentioned they are .500! Don't you read? Or do you just read what you want to read?" To answer your questions, yes I read. And, yes, I read what I want to read. You, dear sir, do not fall into the "want to read" category. As for yet another back-handed compliment, we'll just place that one in the Mario file.
If you are the General, you are the modern-day equivalent of Ambrose Burnside. And with a leader like you, who needs the bleach?
The overall lack of objectivity toward the Texans is incredibly reprehensible, but even when given the opportunity to play a bit of a hometown fan-boy, you showed your true colors. How could, and why should, anyone consider the Houston Chronicle sports section a reliable source of information when you and your cohorts have exhibited such unmitigated and non-negotiable hatred of the Houston Texans?
Your BFF,
XOXOXOXOX,

PS: I'm sure you'll take full credit for being incredibly right, all the time, once the bandwagon starts chugging.

It ain't "real" media...
Of course, since it's not the Chron, you'll also get credit.

Man
On a side note: What are the chances of getting Jerry Glanville to kick McClains ass for old times sake?

sad
Ya know, it's sad that the Comicle writers aren't nearly as hopeful as those in Canton. But, I guess in their world of hate, 5-5 = 1-9. Or something. It hurts my head to try to think like they do.
(I seriously need to get some work done today!)

What?!
Let this war continue all season, and into the future. Fun, fun.

McClellan or McClain?
God forbid a hometown paper would set reasonable expectations for their football team, or that fans would dare to dream of achieving anything greater than mediocrity.
I certainly don't dislike John McClain, and I'm not ready to write off all print media, but this is ludicrous.

damn
Your comment, the entire thing, is just perfect.
At best, I am an arrogant asshole. You...well...you stated very nicely how I feel.
Nicely done.
