Well we will see if the Texans pick Johnny Football tomorrow maybe he will bring tourism back to Houston
As a Texans fan, I sincerely hope that doesn't happen.

I also hope it doesn't happen. All those aggies packing Reliant Stadium will be a nightmare. Tailgating there will be the biggest hick festival.

You both have to admit Manziel would bring a big bright spotlight on Houston for at least a couple of years. And I really think he has a chance to make it in the NFL.

We don't need Manziel to bring the spotlight to Houston. We just need a winning team. Kim Kardashian could move to Houston too and bring us some attention but that's not the kind of attention I care for.

A plane crashing into Williams Tower would bring the same level of attention and the same influx of gun-toting hayseeds and conservative whacks.

So Kim Kardashian moving to Houston is equal to a plane hitting the Williams Tower? One of you are exaggerating ?

Ha, what? What do you know about Melbourne? I've been to Houston.

Does DT Houston have normal shopping (no special event) crowds like this?
