RANDOM MUSINGS

Okay, Houston…most people have seen those H-E-B commercials that feature athletes from our teams. And most of you know that two of these athletes are not around anymore…one officially, one is still up in the air. Pettitte chased the money and signed with the Yankees’ organization, while Clemens is playing his usual Mr. Indecisive. Most bets are laying down on him joining the Yankees, though. And now the Texans have announced that since they acquired Matt Schaub, David Carr is on the trading block. I feel bad for David Carr. He never really had the support of a solid team on the field with him to have a real chance of showing what he could or could not do. Yeah…he may never be a great quarterback, but how are we to know that if he is not given the opportunity?? Oh well. I wish him the best!! He was definitely one of the “good guys.”

So…the point is that these are well-known athletes that Houston fans will miss watching play, but even more important than that is this…who is going to star in the H-E-B commercials?? Who is going to attempt to convince us to buy H-E-B burgers and steaks? Who is going to prove once and for all that just because athletes are in front of cameras all the time, they are definitely NOT actors??

 I vote for Roy Oswalt. With his tractor, of course.
