Texans Training Camp...
Dave and I attended a "public practice" for the Houston Texans last night. What a bust. It reminded me of two-a-days back in high school... only they didn't appear to be working nearly as hard as we did back then. The big thing though is that it was hella-boring when you had to be part of it and even more of a yawner when you are watching it.

They had a pretty good turnout as the Texans were signing autographs after practice. What really stuck in my craw was the fact that there were regular concessions set up behind the bleachers. $3.75 for a Coke, $6.50 for a beer... come on - it is a freakin' practice... and not even an entertaining one. They walked around like a bunch of overpaid prima-donnas... (oh wait, that's what they are.) It is outrageous for them to charge full concession prices for such a non-event. Sure, concession prices are terrible at the real deal, but at least they can sorta justify it part of the cost of the event... we are talking a half-pad, 3/4 speed walkthrough practice.

Oh yeah, I was supposed to remember some of the witty things Dave said while we were there so I could quote him here... but I forgot... haha... I forgot my camera too, so no pictures...

... come to think of it, I think I'll forget the whole outing.
