San Antonio has to have the lowest percentage of attractive women of any decent sized city in the US. Walking around downtown is depressing because all you see is wildebeasts waddling to their next meal. Some white some black mostly hispanic and all utterly abhorrent to the eye.
What Chuck is referencing though is a long running joke in NBA media circles. The two best teams in the west are the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. So all the media dreads having those two teams in the western finals because they will have to spend a week and a half in those two cities. As of last year they were the only NBA cities without a direct flight between them which is another reason the media guys hate that matchup.
To be fair not all of Texas is full of fatties. Austin is actually in the top 10 fittest cities in the US. The upper class parts of Houston Dallas Fort Worth also have very few. The rural parts of the state are suffering from an unprecedented obesity epidemic though. Drive thirty minutes out of any city and it is not uncommon to see that the majority of people could not walk up a flight of stairs. I was driving through the country the other day and I saw a bake sale in a small town so I stopped to check it out. What should have been a Norman Rockwell painting ended up being emblematic of everything thats wrong with America. A lady was actually resting her excess fat on her bake sale table.
