The NFL lost a pretty good man yesterday. Houston Texans owner Bob McNair passed away at the age of 81. McNair brought the NFL back to H-town after Bud Adams move the beloved Oilers to Tennessee. You’ll read about all the great things McNair did but nothing compares with the fact that he brought the NFL back to Houston and its rabid fan base. Aside from an unfortunate misquote of a saying in response to players kneeling during the national anthem that rubbed some players the wrong way McNair has been a joy. Yes, he’s been aggravating displaying loyalty to people like Gary Kubiak and GM Rick Smith but it’s that loyalty that created stability in the organization. Everyone has wanted Bill O’Brien’s head on a platter despite having just one losing season in his tenure with 2 playoff appearances including the Texans first ever playoff win. Deepest sympathy to the McNair family and here’s hoping Bob has a son or daughter with the same traits as the old man because if that’s the case Houston will be in good hands for a long time. As the Texans head into a division game on Monday night against Tennessee the Texans are playing more than a game, they are playing in tribute to a man who made their NFL dreams come true. You wanna bet would love to win one for Bob? Darn tootin’. It will be a very emotional night in Houston for all the Texans coaches, players, staff and their fans. Rest in piece Mr McNair.
