Houston ain't for haters

022106_simmons.jpgBill Simmons needs a lesson on how to hate on Houston.

On the ESPN Page 2 site, Bill writes in Welcome to the Super Bowl:"

Maybe Houston doesn't suck any more or less than 20 other major cities, and maybe the people are friendly and likable, but the fact remains, you would never come here for any reason, other than these three:

(1) For work.
(2) To gain weight.
(3) To get shot.

We don't know about you, but here's what we read:

Houston doesn't suck more than any other city and the people are friendly. And if you come here, you'll get a job, you'll have great food, and you'll be close enough to Corpus Christi to vacation with the veep.

Thanks, B! Maybe we oughta have you working for Houston, It's Worth It.
