HOUSTON – Houston Texans owner Bob McNair confirmed to 11 Sports today that the team is in talks to start up an annual series with the New Orleans Saints.

The two teams will meet again this coming pre-season as the Texans will be the one’s traveling to and practicing in New Orleans, three days prior to the game.

McNair says he and Saints owner Tom Benson have agreed to renew this agreement every year, with the teams playing in the pre-season moving forward. They will alternate practice sites from Houston to New Orleans, depending on which the city the game will be played in.

McNair added he and Benson want to grow the rivalry between the Saints and the Texans to the level that will compare with the Texans-Cowboys rivalry.

The two teams faced off this past pre-season, with the Saints beating the Texans 38-14.

So, he wants to grow it into a one-sided rivalry that nobody but a few crazies in the greater Houston area cares about. Sweet plan.

:laugh2:

Props to the guy for trying to make his team relevant, but he's fighting a severely uphill battle if he wants them to ever have the fan base the Cowboys have. It will never happen.

It's such a well kept secret that I'm pretty sure the Cowboys don't even know about it.

We have a rivalry with that piss ant franchise down in Houston???


HAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAABAAAAAAA!!!!!!!


I guess the smell of oil from the Houston Ship Channel is making everybody delusional down there or something. Them acting like their franchise is this big rival to the Boyz is just sad, most Cowboy fans dont even care if Houston has a team or not.
