HoustonTexans.com Weekly Update
Nov. 17, 2000 HELPING HANDS The Texans celebrated the conclusion of their 2000 United Way Campaign at Pennzoil Place Thursday. And the results were just what Texans Owner Bob McNair was seeking when he launched the campaign a month ago. All 71 Texans employees contributed. Seven donated $10,000 or more. McNair and his wife Janice matched the total contribution of the club, bringing the Texans' total to $205,000. "Thank you so much for helping us be a part of your team," said Jacqueline S. Martin, President of the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast. "For you to believe so much in our mission to impact the community is overwhelming. I am floored with the 100 percent participation. It is absolutely unheard of." The McNairs are no stranger to the United Way, but the team gives them a more visible platform for their charitable work. "We're delighted with everyone's participation," Bob McNair said. "It was a tremendous team effort." The NFL has worked with the United Way for the past quarter-century, using its players, coaches and staff to help member cities and their surrounding communities.

He heads to the Meadowlands Sunday to scout the Giants-Lions game. REALIGNMENT TALKS Representatives from 17 NFL teams met in Denver Wednesday for discussions on realignment for the 2002 season, when the Texans hit the field. The NFL will expand to eight four-team divisions in 2002, placing the Texans in the AFC. Houston -- as well as transplanted teams in Baltimore, St. Louis and Tennessee -- does not have a vote in the realignment proposal. "Those were preliminary discussions in Denver this week," Casserly says. "There will be a meeting in mid-January just on the realignment issue. The league has set June as a target date for realignment to be finalized." HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR FAVORITE TEXANS FAN Know someone who just can't wait to show his team spirit?
