Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

McNair To Be Remembered By Texans Fans
Posted 11-26-2018 at 01:09 PM by case44
This writer did not even get the news on this until I heard Rush Limbaugh mention this on the radio today. After finding out, I got my smartphone out to find some headlines. At the time, I was at a Lewisville car wash getting things tidied up when I did find out.
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair passed away on the day after Thanksgiving. He was 81. Reportedly, he had been battling health problems, specifically cancer, the last few years. McNair was a legend in Houston, having successfully brought the NFL back to the city, and getting the Texans started after a six-year pro football absence. The only thing that didn't happen while he was alive is that the Texans haven't won a Super Bowl yet. They do have four AFC South division titles won during that time. And this year's team may be headed for a fifth.
But let's not forget that Bob was also successful in business, having come to Houston with just 700 dollars in his pocket. Cogen Technologies was founded in H-Town by him. When he lobbied the NFL, he spent 700 with several zeroes after it on the check just to get the franchise in. Houston would be awarded a then-new 32nd team in 1999.
Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones had this to say about McNair.
