As if the team’s move to the American League hasn’t already upset our very own Outlaw 13, unless the team reverts to the Colt .45′s moniker, I can’t imagine this making our favorite retired Army aviator any happier. The Astros name is a nod to [...] Championship games tomorrow; BCS come and gone; March Madness looms… Yeah, sports are on the brain. And almost as fun (and certainly less nerve-wracking) as rooting for your favorites is rooting AGAINST the ones you scorn, despise, curse, etc. Without getting nasty! name the sporting ones you love to hate. 5.
