Long Tall Texan

Welcome to the 2010 football season! The Houston Texans are in training camp and we all hope and pray this is finally the year they make the playoffs. They have a high powered offense, led by the best wide receiver (and as of today the highest paid wide receiver) in the league, Andre Johnson (above) and a very young but talented defense. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I think after eight frustrating seasons, we finally have a playoff team. But no matter what happens, it's just nice to see some football again!
