Never mind the Super Bowl, we had Steven A. Smith and Miss Florida read lines from "The Notebook" on Masterpiece Playhouse Friday morning. We had David Anderson accussing us of being little school boys around Miss Florida (Megan Clementi).


What a week it was. Perhaps the most eye-opening thing was the critical comments made about the Texans by Peter King, Brian Baldinger and Sammy Knight.


King, while acknowledging that the Texans did good things down the stretch with four straight wins, said Houston should have never been 5-7 in the first place. He said they sit around at NBC Sunday afternoon and wonder how the Texans "will screw it up today." Harsh words from a major football writer


So it's not just some of the callers who have questioned what the franchise has or has not been able to achieve.


My take is that while there is major disappointment about not making the playoffs there is at least progress. And there is no way you can convince me that a regime change was in order with the team just missing out on the postseason by a whisker.


Until the Texans make the playoffs and advance they will have to deal with the criticism.
