Does Houston and Texas really suck that bad?

First of all, a lot of what Bill Simmons says is for comedic purposes; half of what's in the column probably isn't that serious. His point seems to be that Houston has gotten a whole lot of big sporting events lately, and it seems a bit odd to him. He likes to have fun with his columns, and he doesn't shy away from getting people upset, whether he's talking about a certain city, a sports team, or an athlete in particular. (i.e. columns about the Yankees, Roger Clemens, or many other topics).

If he is serious; well, hey, he has his right to dislike Houston, just like anyone has a right to dislike any other city. I've never been to Houston - I've heard great things, and I've heard bad things. I know people who live there and love it, and I know people who lived there briefly but didn't like it so much.

That said, though, I think this could turn into a "My city is perfect and no one has a right to criticize it" threads.

no shit sherlock. That was my whole intention of starting this thread
