![]() On January 24, 1556, the Mughal ruler Humanyun died in Delhi and was succeeded by his son, Akbarat Kalanaur, who was only thirteen years old. ![]() It was a decisive victory for Akbar’s generals Khan Zaman I and Bairam Khan. Watt has done as an individual, the Texans as an organization have just carried on with business as usual (including getting blown out at home by the Jaguars in what was supposed to be their “we got you Houston” game).The Second Battle of Panipat was fought between the forces of Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, popularly calledHemu, the Hindu king who was ruling North India from Delhi, and the army of Akbar, on November 5, 1556. Additionally, it feels as though the Astros fully embraced their role in the city’s recovery from Harvey and, notwithstanding the fantastic things J.J. After a month of riding the emotional roller coaster that was the playoffs with a team that was genuinely likable I just don’t see the point in devoting time or interest to yet another crap Texans team that simply isn’t. The World Series has played a huge role in the waning of Texans interest, and I don’t think I am the only one who feels this way. I watched a few games with Deshaun Watson and found him to be genuinely exciting but since his injury the most I watched of this team is about five minutes on Monday night before I turned on the Xbox to play Madden (again this isn’t an issue with football). My interest in football itself isn’t the problem, I still watch other NFL games, I just haven’t watched much of the Texans. I really couldn’t care less about the anthem or Kaepernick BS. And no, it has nothing to do the off the field issues the NFL is dealing with. In years past I would block out time to watch the Texans almost every week, no matter how bad they were. Without them it is abundantly clear that this Texans team is just like those 100 loss Astros teams – nameless, faceless, and talentless - though with one key difference, unlike those Astros teams the Texans have no discernible plan. Watt and Deshaun Watson, both of whom are lost for the year and it remains to be seen in what form they return. I would argue the Texans have only two players that move the excitement needle, J.J. What’s more is that the Astros are bursting with exciting, young, talented, and, most importantly, likable players. Now that the city knows what it’s like to have a winner the Texans’ seemingly unending leash has finally been yanked back. Yes, they had some truly terrible seasons, but they had a plan throughout those rough times. The Astros have shown us what a competent franchise looks like, finally bringing a major championship back to Houston for the first time in 22 years. ![]() So why am I speaking of them in the past tense? The Astros, that’s why. Maybe they didn’t fill the stadium every single week, especially in down years, but they were still the center of this city’s sports universe. No matter their record or level of ineptitude they wore the crown because, well… this is Texas and they play football. An uprising has taken place, the ruling party is faltering, and some upstart rebels are storming the palace.įor 15 years now, the Texans have ruled the Houston sports landscape with unchecked power. We are living in the midst of a regime change.
