Imagine this: Your wife leaves you and moves hundreds of miles away. For no legitimate reason. You gave her money and supported her in every way possible. Yet she left you.
You’ve never felt worse in your life.
At least until now. Until your new wife refused to adopt your long lost son.
When the Oilers divorced Houston for Tennessee, millions of hearts shattered. But the pieces were glued back together a few years later when Houston married the Texans. They were supposed to live happily ever after. But then the unthinkable happened.
What’s worse than watching your wife leave you? How about seeing your own son leave too. Better yet, how about watching your son leave to go live with your ex-wife?
Well, that’s what happened to every Houstonian in April 2006.
The ass-clowns running the Texans organizations decided to pass on picking Vince Young. The hometown hero who led the Longhorns to victory over the USC Trojans in the best football game in human history.
Instead of drafting Vince, the Texans decided to resign incumbent quarterback, David Carr. A prissy whiner who’s afraid to throw the ball farther than five yards. Apparently someone still believed the pretty boy from Fresno was the Texans’ quarterback of the future. Until last week. Yup, the Texans released Carr and signed Matt Schaub. Okay, so maybe Schaub will turn out to be pretty decent.
But how does he compare to the first rookie QB to reach the Pro Bowl since Dan Marino? How does he compare to a 6’5” freak of nature with an uncanny ability to make plays? How does he compare to the ultimate leader who somehow makes everyone around him that much better?
How the hell did the Texans not draft Vince Young?
It’s mind blowing. It’s heart wrenching. It’s pitiful.
I’ve forgiven the Oilers for blowing a 31-point halftime lead to the Bills. In the playoffs. I’ve forgiven Bud Adams for moving the Oilers to Tennessee. Just in time to reach the Superbowl.
But I don’t think I will ever be able to forgive those ass-clowns for not drafting Vince Young.
VY in a Texans uniform. Imagine that.
