I like the way Johnson works, but he's not the genius he's made out to be. He makes his share of mistakes, too. That being said, he's not the dummy most Texans make him out to be. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Major league scheduling committee.
Somebody is overpaid.
The Rangers were forced to go to Arizona and Los Angeles, come home for just three games, go to the East Coast to play New York and Boston, come back home for three days, then go to the West Coast to play Seattle and Anaheim. It takes a sick mind, an agenda or incompetence to come up with that kind of schedule. USC, Penn State and Notre Dame in college football. Top 25 and sometimes in the Top 10. And even after getting thumped once or twice they still creep up in the rankings.
