Daily FaF Smear (3/26/09)

The one where FaF will wear our throw-back jerseys all of next season.

Glory days, well they'll pass you by, glory days

So, if you hadn’t caught this story yesterday, the Tennessee Titans will be wearing Houston Oilers throw-back uniforms for three games next year.  Oh you hadn’t heard?  The skeleton known as the Houston Chronicle ran the article yesterday.  How does that make you feel?

Well, let me tell you what: stop bitching.  That’s right, I said it.  I’ll say it again if you don’t shut your bitch mouth.

All this proves is that Houston wasn’t as smart as Cleveland and I know that none of you would ever admit to being dumber than a resident of the “Mistake by the Lake.”  The strongest fact working in your favor is that you don’t live in Ohio.  That’s intelligence.

Cleveland managed to maintain the rights over their franchise name when Art Modell decided to move the team.  They kept everything… the name of the team, the color scheme, the jerseys, all the old records et al.

Houston being in the same position got to keep nothing.  Well, we kept the Astrodome, the 8th wonder, the wonderful concrete monstrosity that’s left for dead in the parking lot of Reliant Park (may God rest her soul *crosses heart).  But we had our chance didn’t we?  The legal precedent was already there.

So, please… when you see the Titans in those baby blues for three games (what?! THREE games?!) this coming season don’t go start running your mouth at what a bastard Bud Adams is and how he likes to drink the blood of kittens and sleeps in a coffin made of the bones of his enemies.  It’s just not true (or is it), you’re being bitter.

It was a dozen years ago.  It’s time to move on.  We have only ourselves to blame.

Here are the rest of your Houston Sports updates:

Texans:  In our continuing coverage of exactly nothing going on may I point you to articles that point to the Houston Texans’ upside.  Blammo!!  I didn’t even have to come up with anything witty for that.  “Blammo!!” has that kind of power over people.

Rockets:  The Rockets have a couple more days off before facing the Clippers on Saturday.  Why can’t we face the Jazz on four days rest every time?  The Rockets keep on getting compared to the “stealth” Spurs (don’t tell Pipez).  But, the time off is way too much for Ron Artest… I came across this page this morning.  Can someone please find that video for me?  It’s been removed from youtube and left a hole in my heart… thanks, faithful readers.

Astros:  Backe is going to be starting the year on the DL?  Delightful.  Galveston’s a bit behind the news, no?  Why do they have a paper down there?  Is the Chronicle not good enough for them?!  If they were buying papers Murph would still have a job!

Dynamo:  It’s good to know that during this financial crisis some of us can still get the financing to buy a home.  Like the Houston Dynamo… wait. What?  It’s not as bad as the deal out in Miami for the Marlins and nothing has been made official yet.  The Dynamo cut a deal with DVDA BBVA Compass Bank for the upfront money for the stadium.  That’s right Dynamo, get out of Robertson and NEVER come back!

University of Houston:  Sam Houston State has come a-knock knock knocking on Blake Joseph’s door.  They want him.  They want him bad.  To celebrate Kevin Sumlin went out and got honored at a party by the UH Black Alumni Association.
