    Thanks fellas.

    No, not paid. I'm doing it for exposure's sake.

    With bball, I was writing 2-3 x per week.

    With the Texans, I will try to update at least 3x per week.

    On Saturdays for last minute updates before a game, on Wednesdays (to report any updates in preparation for the upcoming game) and of course on Mondays to recap games.

    But I did get one free fantasy team from ESPN.com

    So if any of you guys have a fantasy league on ESPN.com, let me know.

    That's awesome.

    Even more awesome is your Saved By the Bell reference. I owe you a beer or three for that one. :D

    I don't know if any of you caught this but Mike Ditka blasted the Texans on that NFL ESPN show. He said "Texans won't win more than 5 games and they are on a train headed to nowhere" Sean Sailsbury said the Texans are an 8-8 team.

    If you ever have the chance, please feel free to kick Hector and Victor in the nuts repeatedly. My grandmother could predict more accurate NFL fantasy stats than those 2 jackasses.

    Congrats, BTW

    Thanks fellas!

    I'm actually trying to get in contact with the Texans PR dept. to see if I can get some type of menial media credentials.

    Who knows, with as classy an organization as the Texans, they may give a little guy a break!

    That's really good man.

    Jerome Solomon, the lead Big XII writer for the Chronicle, is a good friend of my brother. He got his start writing for one of those local newspaper the Chronicle sends out to each neighborhood. The ones that just cover the local news in that area, and they come out once a week. He started doing high school sports for the paper we got in our area, and look how far it got him. Good luck to you.
