Reliant Stadium severely damaged by Hurricane Ike.: There are parts of the roof that are completely gone,--
Also interesting: About the Reliant Stadium Roof (2002)-http://blogs.chron.com/sportsupdate/archives/2008/09/about_the_relia.html
And, if you're starting Baltimore or Houston players in your fantasy leagues this weekend, better change up your rosters; I just checked the SpoFi Head to Head league, and at least three managers are starting Ravens and Texans.

So the same thing happened to the stadium roof that happened to Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl halftime show at Reliant?
Material ripped away in a moment governed by forces bigger than ourselves...

And if you are starting Ravens or Texans in your fantasy league, I wish I were in your league.

I'm curious, if the stadium hadn't been damaged, do you think they still would have played the game tonight?

Maybe Howard invoking Christ's message was unfortunate fodder for Jews or others sensitive to Christianity. But Howard's point is well taken. How about every descendant of slaves in the US not having to pay taxes because the US government enabled slavery, and for a time, Jim Crow laws and segregation? Jews have a right to still be jaded by certain ties, but as a whole, I hope that level-headed people and organizations not make decisions solely based on surface knowledge.
