I woke up Sunday morning thinking that things had to get better. After a week that started off with a right cross from Kobe, a left hook from the Yankees, and a sucker punch in the junk from Notre Dame, I thought surely these events were just karmic balance for what was going to be the biggest win in the history of the Texans franchise.If the price I had to pay for the Texans announcing with authority their presence in Relevantville was enduring Kobe's ridiculous underbite sneer, living in a
