Since I’ve been covering the NFL, I don’t remember a team having as bad a two week stretch as the Houston Texans did (well technically three weeks, but it was two games). In one week they lost their starting quarterback Matt Schaub in a blowout win, and the next game backup Matt Leinart breaks his [...]

The Houston Texans travel to Nashville, Tennessee to take on the first place Titans this week. Wow, I bet Texans fans didn’t expect to read that statement six weeks in to the 2011 season. The fact of the matter is the Texans had a brutal schedule to open the season, but not only that they [...]

Among those were wide receivers Jeff Maehl and Terrence Toliver, and runningback Chris Ogbonnaya (Texas Longhorn).

According to the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Texans have announced the cuts of wide reciever Dorin Dickerson and linebacker Xavier Adibi. At training camp I (and everyone else) was impressed with all of the young talent the Texans had at those positions, and that’s likely what is leading to the release of these guys who [...]

The tweet heard round the world. Sorry, that was lame, but it seemed relevant considering the uproar caused when Arian Foster decided to tweet the MRI of his hamstring. It revealed some white discoloration (where my Seinfeld fans at), to which Foster referred to as “anti-awesomeness.” Hundreds of Fantasy Football team names were changed at [...]
