Matt Weston:
My first encounter of the Texans playing the Patriots is a fictitious one. I was twelve or whatever at a Best Buy off San Pedro and 410 with my old man. We walked around and looked at things we wouldn’t buy. Usually this would be a lot of reading the back of games and staring at album covers, like this and this, and thinking that’s what it means to be an adult.
This trip, I found my way in front of a Playstation tied to a monitor with the new Madden emblazoned with Marshall Faulk spinning around the bowels.
