Carl Landry's Shoe Dilemma

by Tom Martin on Mar 4, 2010 9:00 AM CST in Whimsical Posts

Carl Landry might be wearing a new uniform, but he isn't a non-Rocket just yet. That doesn't make sense, until you realize what this picture and this post have in common.

Take a look at the shoes that Carl is wearing in the photo above. Then look at the purple kicks behind him. They clearly don't match. Why? Because Carl is still wearing his Rockets' sneakers. You can tell by the red lining the top and bottom of the shoe.

Bill Worrell noted that one of the Kings' trainers colored over as much red as possible with a black marker, nearly ending any association that Carl had left with Houston. There is still that red sliver of Rocketness in him, until the new shoes come in, of course.

And that F=MA is perfect. Dare Kings fans decide to call him "The Scientist" or "The Physicist?" Eh, probably not.

Such a nice dream.

But no.

Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.

the shoes

the day before the trade i spent 200 bucks on game worn F=MA shoes, signed by Carl. My last piece of Carl as a Rocket and one of my current favorite pieces of Rocket memorabilia.

I can forgive Carl for possibly ending our playoff run...

I mean we can possibly never recover from this loss because of the tough competition but I can forgive him simply because he looked so happy out there.He geniunely enjoyed being back home to play his brothers. The pre-game interviews, the game itself and the post game interviews all show and attest to that fact and knowing that simply took away any bitterness from the loss. I miss Carl.
