Actor Malcolm McDowell IS…>
On the Saturday preceding the Super Bowl, it is only fitting that The Pecan Park Eagle today
>…Houston Texans owner Bob McNair!
will feature a lighter-than-air football topic and here it is: If there’s ever a movie to be made about the NFL’s Houston Texans, Central Casting is sending us this wonderful actor/character match up for the role of team owner, Bob McNair. Credit goes where credit is due. – My son, Neal McCurdy, suggested it, immediately hitting my “you are so very right” gear and bumping this post into motion.
That being said, here’s where you have to be a little bit of an ancient movie buff or film historian to really get the following comment: If someone ever made this movie, with this casting, it’s too bad the original team color of the Texans also was not as orange as the baseball Houston Astros sprang on us back in 1962. If it were, then actor Malcolm McDowell would be the perfect man to lead the color reversion back from battle-red and steel-blue at every retro-jersey game. As most know, Malcolm McDowell comes to this role with ample knowledge of how to turn the clockwork back to orange.
My Super Bowl guess:
Baltimore Ravens 31 – San Francisco 49ers 27.

Nice connection, I’d never noticed the resemblance before. McDowell stars in what I consider to be the greatest movie of all time: O Lucky Man! Maybe next year McNair can be that lucky man. Happy Super Bowl weekend to all of your readers.

Malcolm would really have to work on that accent!

Which one, Greg? The English accent he has to drop? The South Carolina drawl he has to pick up? Or just plain both? 🙂

Good resemblance. McNair is a great owner and a terrific guy. i used to play tennis with him at the Nottingham Forest Club about 45 years ago.
