The month ends

We are almost to the oneth of February. A month with 2 R'S but the first is hardly ever pronounced. It is also another day of Houston in the grips of Super Bowl fever.

One team has Matt Ryan and that is about it according to the casual fan. The casual dude just doesn't see much of Atlanta but does know about the QUARTERBACK and he also knows one of the 37 Matthews kids is on the team. However, casual fan knows quite a few of the PATRIOTS because he HATES THEM. He hates the Spy Gate and Deflate Patriots. However, he should know 6 area H.S. KIDS are on the PATS ROSTER. You can't hate them. I have a bar keep friend who wears a Pats jersey. It is no. 12 but on the back it reads "Cheaters". He is given bad looks until others read the back.

Yesterday another group we tend to dislike around here got a spanking from THE BASEBALL CZAR. The Cardinals (ST.LOUIS) have to write the ASTROS a check for $2 million and give Houston it's top 2 draft picks in The year of our Lord 2000 AND 17. This had to do with the hacking of Astros emails and data by one of the REDBIRDS executives who earned jail time for doing so. The weird part was the guy was hacking a team that had lost about 300 games in 2 years. Times have changed. One website had Houston winning the AL West. A new training facility awaits in Florida and I already see plenty of Astros gear being worn.

There have been star sightings in places other than the NRG area. My son saw ex Astro Hunter Pence at a barber shop. My kid also Jose Altuve at the sporting goods store. Jose wasn't signing autographs, he was buying a bike. It's not just the GRB for big shots this week.  Go Rockets.
