Houston Texans

In order for a team to join, the current owners have to take a vote on adding the team. If the team would pass the vote, they would then have to pay a fee to join the NFL. As I stated earlier, the last team to join, the Texans, had to pay $700 million to join the NFL (HoustonTexans.com). I personally think that the close league system is the best system for the NFL. Even though an open league system would push teams to be more competitive with the fear of relegation, the talent would be too diluted for NFL teams to have the success they have now. Each team has 53 players and they have a practice squad of 10 players. That would mean with the additions of even two teams, these teams would have to find a total of 126 more players to try and compete at the NFL level. The position that would take the biggest hit would have to be quarterbacks. We already see teams, like the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears, struggle to find quality starting quarterbacks. The Browns…

Ivins feels compelled to share her two cents on the matter, especially after George W. Bush's election. In Molly Ivin’s article, we can find numerous traces of word choice as well as their effects. For the most part, Ivins uses word choice to establish the mentality in Texas, often combining two words or purposely misspelling them to showcase ignorance and attitude in Texas. Ivins acknowledges the laziness in the way Texans talk through words such as “chrissake” and “Dubya,” in her writing. In…

Hurricane Katrina not only left the entire city underwater, it left thousands of people homeless, displaced, or dead. As I sat alone in my room watching the documentary, America’s Deadliest Storm, I could not help but think of how Katrina affected me. At the time, I was just eight years old and beginning the fourth grade. Looking back, I had no idea that this storm would be a life changing event. The documentary details the days leading up to the landfall of the hurricane in New Orleans;…

With the coldness filling the air as I was born into the world on December 9th, 1998, in the city of Houston in Texas. Known for being the Bayou city, Houston is where I have spent the entirety of my life. As large as this town is I was raised and have only seen only one side of Houston, and although my vision of it was only limited I learned many things with the limited resources I had in my disposal. It was a little apartment almost barely any room for my family, it was small and I was only…

Although there are several similarities between Houston and San Antonio cities, there are many obvious differences between them as mention in this essay. Having the experience to live in two different cities gave me different perspectives of each one. In my opinion, San Antonio is way better than Houston for many, many reasons. San Antonio and Houston have many different type of attractions. First off San Antonio owns a river called “river walk”, families and couples go there very often to…
