Finally some love from Houston

I have to agree with Mike.

I, for whatever reason, can't latch on to a local sports team.

Since I'm from Covington, La, of course Saints are my football team. But the Texans you think would at least come in second. Nope.

I can't watch the Rockets or Basketball in general. When I first arrived here I was always pulling for the Jazz even though they were Utah. Malone and Stockton were fun to watch.

I like going to an Astros game every now and then but I have no bond with them. I've been here in Houston now for 14-15 years.

There is something about being a TRUE saints fan that once it gets in your blood you have it for life. No other team can replicate it. Maybe Green Bay. But now that Farvre is gone we will have to see how long those fans last.

Houston is a great City with just about any venu(resturants,shows,music, clubs,sports) that you could ask for but for some reason has no Identity of it's own. A big metropolis that somewhere along the way lost it's soul, if it had one.

Houston has been good to me but I have no bond with this city.

Anyway Mike, look at the Rant you created.
