They're looking good in the preseason. Maybe they can make the playoffs this year. I think they can take the AFC South.texanron wrote:Logo for the NFL team in Houston.

My avatar is a watchful American eagle with a Texas flag in the background. I made it as a tribute to the 1845 addition of Texas to the United States of America.

My avatar is Norman Rockwell's painting Bottom of the Sixth. I chose it because I am a baseball umpire and football official in my spare time and I greatly appreciate Norman Rockwell's work. I am quite fascinated with the time eras depicted in his work.
Now that football season is nigh, I might have to change to this one:

Mine is the mirrored image of the Helix Nebula, sometime called the Eye of God. I call it Evil Eyes.

What you see to the left is a picture of our Jack Russell Terrier. If you know anything about the breed they are very high strung, fast learners, love to 'work', and are very loyal. It took many painstaking hours to teach him to smile on command. If you look closely at the picture I bet you can detect somewhat of a smile rather than a snarling dog. I thought the picture married well with my handle and have used it for a number of years on various forums.
