The Oilers: A Painful Departure
Before we dive into the Texans, we gotta talk about their predecessors, the Houston Oilers. These guys were around since the 1960s, slinging the ole pigskin and making Houston proud. But then, the unthinkable happened: they up and moved to Tennessee in 1997, becoming the Tennessee Titans. Can you imagine the heartbreak? Houston was like, "You're kidding, right? Our beloved Oilers?!"
Bob McNair: The Football Messiah
Enter Bob McNair, a Houston businessman who was NOT having it. This guy was a die-hard football fan with a wallet as deep as the Gulf of Mexico. He decided Houston needed a new team, and he was the man to make it happen. So, he started throwing money around like confetti at a Mardi Gras parade.
