You're miserable. You're miserable because your Houston's sports franchises are making you miserable. At least that's what I read at Forbes.com. Imagine that, with their fancy suits and uppity ties, they had the gall to point at you and say - you, Houston sports fan, are part of the sixth most miserable fan-base in America. The nerve...
But then again - it's hard to argue with the pain that was inflicted at the hands of Frank Reich and the feet of Steve Christie. I was pretty miserable after that. I also felt pretty dejected when the Astros got swept in the World Series. Now that I think about it, I was pretty pissed when the Rockets let Hakeem Olajuwon finish his Hall of Fame career in Toronto. Hell, let's face it; 2-14 wasn't exactly a reason to celebrate either.
Okay, okay - so maybe the high falutin' fellas at Forbes have a point. The Houston-centric sports scene hasn't had too many winners here lately. Spare me the Comets/Dynamo retorts. They have their place, and this discussion isn't it. We've been in sorta of sports slump for some time now, but you never know. An 8-8 season just may have been the slump-buster that this city needed. So even though the Astros already have me browsing the web for an affordable sword (see hara-kiri), I'm holding out hope that the Texans will keep me from having to use it.
You got a miserable moment, Houston sports fan? Feel free to vent in the comments below. In the meantime, I'm gonna get back to lookin' at those swords...
