The Onion Rips At The Houston Texans And Their Hopes At A Deep Preseason Run

It was only a matter of time until "America's Finest News Source" turned its gaze on the league's worst team last year. Laughter hides the tears, folks.

I'm a big fan of satire, in case you didn't know, and the Internet's leading satirical website ran a piece on the Houston Texans.  It's pretty short, and I don't want to copy/paste the whole thing, so here's a blurb:

"We might have our share of doubters, but everyone here is tuning that stuff out and focusing on one thing: winning in the preseason. Honestly, if we can get hot and live up to our potential, I wouldn’t be surprised if we went 4-0 this year." [Arian] Foster went on to boldly claim that the Texans will be especially dangerous late in preseason games, when opposing teams are primarily fielding second and third stringers.
