When I was a kid I liked the Houston Oilers (I liked the uniform colors). An (severely) aging Elvin Bethea was my favorite player. I had to turn to my backup team (the Cards) when the Oilers moved in the mid90s. I would have gone back when Houston had an expansion team if they had named them the Oilers. But, they had to go with the stupid Texans name. Which, I personally find the dumbest nickname in the big 3 sports (I live too far South to understand that thar hockey) with the possible exception of the Nationals in baseball (which wouldnt be so bad except they are in the National League, just seems silly given the league, but anyway...).


Note: I guess Texan wouldnt be so bad, if they were the only NFL team in Texas, though.
