The Houston Texans came into the NFL knowing that they were going to be the less loved little brothers of the Dallas Cowboys. How could they not?
The Cowboys are "America's Team" (regardless of nfl throwback jerseys
what Maurice Jones-Drew says) and they get love by every native Texan as well as everybody who was put on the spot and asked to name a favorite football team.
Who's going to care about some team trying to make a splash in Texas when you can root for the Dallas Cowboys, especially when you never know who you are going to see there (like Tony Romo's latest celeb date).
It seems no matter what the Texans do, the Cowboys have a flashier version Dallas Cowboys jersey
that might not be better football-wise, but will still get people's attention.
Who cares about former Atlanta Falcons back-up Matt Schaub when you can look at Romo's personal life, plus there's always that fumble to look back at and laugh about.
The Texans tried to make some noise when Steve Slaton had a big rookie year and looked to become a big time playmaker, then he faded into the background while the Cowboys bring the excitement with Felix Jones and the power with Marion Barber. Hell, Tashard Choice gets more love then Minnesota Vikings jersey
the Texans RB's.
Even with Andre Johnson, arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, the Cowboys get more coverage with Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Roy Williams
