I agree with you largely concerning the ownership, I think that Modell
dug his own grave and doesn't deserve an NFL franchise. But the above
statement...that's a bit of a stretch. I'm sure not many Houston fans
remember that playoff series vs. the Suns when the Rockets were 2 games
down going back to the summitt. It's a playoff game, and the seats are
almost half-empty. What the hell? Loyalty? And as for Oiler fans, I don't
hear much of a protest going on for the Nashville move compared to the
Cleveland exodus, so where are all the Houston fans? People accuse Dallas
fans of being bandwagon fans, but I've never seen a worse example of this
than Houston fans...especially Rocket fans. Never before had I seen a
crowd that was not capacity in a playoff game...any playoff game. Of
course, once they won their first title the fans came out of the woodwork.
