Captain said even had the crew been in time, we still had a wheels up which was 1hr 50 min late. UA changed reason for delay from "CREW" to "WX" picking the best one for them to blame. All the other flights from IAH-LGA were delayed between 1-2 hours that afternoon so I believe there was the underlying problem of ATC or WX or whatever you want to call "FLO CINTROL".
