When I was a youngster during the early ‘80s, Bum Phillips showed up for some O&G golf tournament at my SETX home course. As a teen, my job was a cart/range guy, but when I saw him in his straw hat I had to get a picture. I looked down and he had boots on, so I asked “Coach where are your golf shoes?” He looked down, while laughing and said “these are my golf boots!” as he lifted a foot showing metal spikes.
It was amazing to a teen!

Love ya Blue and Hook’em!!!

Amazingly enough, it was spelled Jeffires. The first time I saw him play in preseason I thought they had fucked up and just misspelled his name on his jersey…

The Oilers had to be the only team in the NFL with two offensive skill position players that had fans misspelling their names, both first and last, as often as they were: Haywood Jeffires (a lot of people spelled it Heywood Jeffries) and Ernest Givins (Earnest Givens). Drove me crazy with that shit sometimes.

Well I was a big stoner back then so if I did I’m sorry

Not sure if I already said this...fuck Bud Adams.

Fuck Tagliabue too because he approved the "Retirement" of the Oilers logo and everything. WITF was that? That was some bastard fuck you shit.

When the 2nd iteration of the Browns came back - they were the Browns. They didn't shut off the name sake for perpetuity.

Oh and fuck the Titans too. They are NOT the Oilers and don't deserve to claim any of the history.

TLDR: Fuck Bud Adams and Fuck Tagliabue

The owners of the franchise own the logo, colors, everything; Taglibue had fuck all to do with it. The reason the city of Cleveland got to keep that shit is that Art Modell agreed to relinquish his rights to it in exchange for dropping their lawsuit that was potentially blocking their move to Baltimore…

Surprised Bud chose Oilers over Redskins, seeing as his relatives controlled oil on native lands in Oklahoma through marriage and skullfuckery.

I must have misread some articles then, which is my mistake.

However, everything else still stands. Fuck Adams, Fuck Tagliabue and Fuck the Titans.

I think Cleveland had leverage because the team still had years on the lease and they got out of it by leaving the name and history behind and the league promised them a new franchise within a few years. The SuperSonics got to keep their name for the same reason (I think they had another claim too about the transfer in ownership). I suspect Houston had no leverage which is why the team could up and leave with everything. I used to watch Oilers games with my dad growing up and it still pisses me off.

The NFL still had to approve the move. They could’ve anticipated that Houston would eventually get another team and that Bud would be a vindictive bitch, and ask “WTF would ‘Oilers’ have to do with Tennessee?”

Don't trademarks have to be used in order for them to remain valid?

Her dad died alone and was only found after the police were called for a wellness check.

May she also suffer the same fate.

When I was a kid, in one of the years the oilers were god awful, my family was walking out of the astrodome after a loss and my sister found $10 on the ground, folded in a particular way. I was a little kid and said "I'm gonna find money next!" and started watching the ground intently. My family laughed, and then a few moments later, I found $40, two 20s, folded in the same way, and got to rub it in because they all laughed at me. That is my happiest Houston Oilers memory.

Always funny to see people discuss the Oilers. Crazy how the whole story is out there for you to read for free, and so few people have the slightest grasp on what happened.

Anyway, the best thing that ever happened to the city of Houston, sports wise, was the Oilers leaving town. While the Oilers invoke very fun memories like Earl Campbell and Bum Phillips and those really great jerseys, the thing they were best known for was choking. And what did they do the moment they left town? They lost the Super Bowl in the singular most brutal fashion that has ever happened. Fans were better off not watching their team in the Super Bowl at all, and that's rare, and worse they have not given Tennessee anything to feel good about that surpasses how bad that forever-what-if loss will always feel.

Texans are sterile/commercial, but they've been way more fun for the fans than the Oilers/Titans, relatively more successful, and ownership is in better hands.

Lolwat? I'll give you more sterile/commercial.

Still love the uniforms of the Oilers. I wish the Texans could wear those for their “throwback” uniforms, but I digress over the whole situation,

Hook’em!!!

Houston Texans:

Overall - 174-214-1 44.8%

Playoffs - 6-8 42.9%

Houston Oilers (NFL Only)

Overall - 226-238 49.8%

Playoffs - 6-9 40.0%

I just wanted the name, unis and history to stay here in Houston ( actual city the Oilers played in) . Wanted bud and his family gone.

Texans went 20-55 (26%) in first 5 years, placed in Mannings division during his prime. More division titles than Oilers already (divisions easier to win now) and one fewer playoff appearance. Moon took them to 7 straight playoffs or it’s not even close… but is that what fans, the league, or history remember about that team? Again, relatively more successful (arguable, for sure) and way more fun for fans. Def see your point but I’m always surprised by the Texans numbers.

The Oilers ended so many seasons with devastating letdowns it’s crazy. Titans no different.

It's asinine god damned horseshit that Houston doesn't get those uniforms back.
