It kinda does. The Texans have been a below average franchise devoid of any character for its entire life. At least now it gets to be known for a unique dysfunction usually seen less in pro sports and more in European history textbooks.

Which is worse to have as an owner, a super billionaire who treats the team as just an item in their portfolio, or a fail son?

With Cal McNair it's both. He's a failson that only cares enough about the Texans to ensure it keeps money rolling in that he can then use in charity fundraisers to keep his place in Houston high society.

My favorite part of this Texans poo poo show is them hiring a billion dollar headhunting firm to come up with a list of GM candidates. They come back with a list that includes minority candidates as the top 2 on the entire list. The Texans ignore the list to turn around and hire some white guy from the Patriots. To be so blatant and obvious about it is absolutely stunning and I don't see how the league hasn't poo poo a brick over that given they're at least trying to look like they care about minority hires.

It seems like the NFL uses the Fritz Pollard Alliance as their canary in the coalmine for racial issues, and they had nothing to say about Caserio. I guess Houston's enough of a NFL backwater that stuff like this slips by.

A couple of pieces have come out in the last few days about the Luv Ya Blue era, how it ended (Bud Adams firing Bum Phillips), and how it was the beginning of the end of the Houston Oilers. Not sure if these pieces are as a warning to the McNairs about the path they're on or if the media is starting to butter up Houstonians to the prospect of losing the Texans:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31003656/luv-ya-blue-houston-oilers-bum-phillips-earl-campbell - This one covers the love affair Houston had with the late 70s Oilers and paints a picture of a time that will probably never happen with the Texans :(

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/john-mcclain/articleComments/McClain-Oilers-disintegration-should-be-a-16007535.php - A John McClain piece so the usual grain of salt applies, but goes into the firing of Bum Phillips and later a similar scene when the Oilers announce they were leaving for Tennessee.

e - And just to paint a picture of just how things were in the late 70s, here's footage from a 8mm camera someone brought to a homecoming rally with 70,000 in the Astrodome after the Oilers lost their first AFC title game to the Steelers:

Yeah, Pardee was an early example of someone poaching UH's coaching staff, where they perform well for a few years and then flame out.

And I saw a bunch more Luv Ya Blue nostalgia in my Facebook feed this morning. I guess it's a community thing right now.

Man there's no good end to this...

If Deshaun truly is a sexual predator his career is deservedly over and Jack Easterby wins yet again. Even if Deshaun settles this out of court the rumors will follow him forever.

If it's not true and Buzbee is fabricating a monstrous lie then it seriously hurts legitimately sexually assaulted women, especially those in Houston where it's already a huge problem.

If the Texans are helping Buzbee fabricate that monstrous lie I'm utterly done with the Texans, like How Bout Them Cowboys and never appear on my TV again level done.
