In a story line that seems to have no end, several months back we heard whispers that people inside the Houston Texans organization had nicknamed team owner Cal McNair, “Tommy Boy”.
Soon after [taking control of the team], many Texans staffers began referring to Cal by a new nickname: Tommy Boy.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Tommy Boy is a stereotypical #failson originally portrayed by comedian Chris Farley in the movie of the same name. The term has transcended the film and seeped into pop culture in similar manner to the name “Karen”, including all the negative connotations that come with it.
