How will the Texans fare in 2010?
|
|
Although I’ve
never been
one to toot my own horn,
I must admit, my 2008 and
2009 season
prognostications for the
Texans were pretty darn
impressive. Last season,
I
even had the foresight
to anticipate Steve
Slaton’s terrible
sophomore slump.
The
icing on the cake was the
fact that I correctly
predicted that the Texans
would beat an
underwhelming and
uninterested Patriots
team to post their first
winning season ever
