The Houston Sports Scene

Good gawd, some idiot just called in to the Astros postgame show and argued that the team should fire Jimy Williams. What a dumbass.

I have to say, for a big city, this town has the WORST sports fans and sports journalists. They just aren't very bright.

Which is why I've been pleased listening to Mark Vandermeer show on the local sports talk show. Vandermeer is the new voice of the Texans, and comes from Miami University. I've only listened to him for a week now, but I'm convinced he's the best sports journalist/pundit in this city hands down. And I've heard a couple of Houston's typical (i.e. dumb) sports fans call him and leave him almost speechless. He's a polite guy, and a smart guy, and I don't think he quite knows how to handle idiots.

He will get used to it here, however, because he will get plenty of practice.
