DeShaun Watson skipping OTAs is good news for Houston
For the first time this offseason, Deshaun Watson is doing the Houston Texans a favor, even if he doesn’t mean to. His motives on this, I’m sure, have nothing to do with what’s in the best interest of the team and are purely selfish, but still — in demanding a trade, Watson reportedly won’t show up ...
Davis Mills has tools to carry Texans in a post-Deshaun Watson world
It happens all the time that highly touted recruits don’t pan out. Sometimes it’s a talent issue, sometimes work ethic, sometimes injuries. Who knows. When Stanford signed five-star recruit Davis Mills in 2017, the top quarterback in his class, they thought they were bringing in a talent that would ...
Taking a look at QB-heavy draft classes, and why the best isn't always the guy who goes highest
In a quarterback league, this year’s NFL Draft looks like one of the most quarterback-rich talent pools in history.

It's Official: Somehow Florida, Of All Damn Teams, Was Thoroughly Underrated This Year
So the near-impossible has actually happened: The national media and coaches really, truly underestimated Florida this year. Any chance that wasn't the case evaporated as the Gators ripped off 24 straight points near the end of their 37-26 win over rival Florida State, a team that spent nearly the e...
Chicago, Meet Your New Quarterback: Jay Cutler
In somewhat of a stunning move in the, wow-that-happened-fast sense, the Denver Broncos have traded Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears for, well — A LOT....
Obligatory (And Quick!) Father's Day Post
Possibly one of the most endearing father-son moments in a movie — except for maybe the scene in Space Jam when the doctor says that DNA test reveals Michael Jordan is in fact Bugs Bunny's father — is the Field of Dreams "Dad, you want to have a catch?" scene. It also marks one of the last times we ...
The Chinese Olympic Swimsuits Are Here ... Yeesh
It's true: One man's sexy is another man's nightmare fuel. Mostly though, aren't these swimsuits just impractical? Aerodynamic they ain't. However, if you're swimming in the ocean I suppose the front there could be used to collect baby smelt and other small bait fish. China never fails to confuse me...
