Okay, THIS is going to need some explaining.
I like to participate on the sports-related blogs hosted on the Houston Chronicle (Houston’s major newspaper) website, particularly that of John McClain, the Chronicle’s veteran NFL beat-writer who is himself a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee, so he’s a big deal in pro football journalism.
Several weeks ago, before the game between the Houston Texans and the New Orleans Saints, I commented that I thought our hometown team would beat the Saints here at home, by at least six points .
The fellow seen doing the pushups in the video, Robert Coward, called me “nuts” and bet me 25 pushups that the Saints would win (note that Mr. Coward is not so much a Saints fan as an “anti-fan” of the Texans).
You can read the original conversation HERE; I go by the screen-name of “fool”. My prediction is at November 7, 2007 08:49 AM. Robert Coward’s challenge to me is at November 9, 2007 01:51 AM
Well, the Texans not only won, they won big, defeating New Orleans by 13 points. So this video is a record of Mr. Coward paying up on our bet. I guess that constitutes my 15 minutes of fame.
(P.S. I can only HOPE the camera adds ten pounds! In fact, I’m guessing it added about 25 for me! There’s NO WAY I’m that heavy. I don’t care what the scales say).
