The fans cheered. My Facebook wall began to fill with grateful posts. I stared at my TV, stunned at what I was hearing. It didn’t seem to match up with what I was seeing on the screen. Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub gripped his ankle in pain as I felt ashamed to be a Texans fan.

For the first time since the 2010 season, the Houston Texans are coming off their fourth loss in a row. For the third week in a row, Texans fans have amazed me with their lack of class regarding the team they claim to love.

Being a fan of a particular sports team can be exciting and fun. But there are also times when a fan has to endure heartbreak. In my case, being from Houston, I root for the Texans, Rockets and the Astros. While not one of these teams is the top moneymaker in the sports markets like the Dallas teams (yes, I’m including the Rangers in this conversation), being a fan of Houston sports brings me a lot of great memories, good and bad.
