The Texans Got Old Man Ed Reed A Walker For His Birthday
Ed Reed turned 35 yesterday. His new teammates in Houston recognized the occasion by presenting him with a Hall of Fame jacket cake, but free safety Danieal Manning also gave Reed this platinum walker as a gag. Reed has yet to play this season because of a hip injury. No word on whether the Texans b...

Texans Fan Drinks Own Piss In Irrational Display Of Loyalty
There are many baffling things about this video of a Texans fan drinking his own urine in the wake of his team's comeback performance against the Chargers late Monday night. Why does he combine jars of warm urine and cold urine? Also, why the hell is he drinking his own piss? Here he is, in his own...

Does The NFL Have A Growing "Low-Hit Culture?"
On Saturday, Houston safety D.J. Swearinger dove at the knees of Dolphins tight end Dustin Keller. Keller tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, and dislocated his patella. Swearinger says that's better than targeting someone's head....


Antonio Smith Tore Off Richie Incognito's Helmet, Swung It At His Head

Santa Clara And Houston Will Host The 2016 And 2017 Super Bowls
At the NFL spring meetings in Boston this afternoon, owners voted to award Super Bowls L and LI—in 2016 and 2017—to the Bay Area and Houston. That leaves Miami as the only finalist to go home empty-handed. Should've paid for those stadium renovations, South Florida!...

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Schaub thinks Wilson, Kaepernick, and RG3 are just aberrations....

Houston Texans Tackle Sings That One Gotye Song Everyone Knows
Just getting this out of the way now—it's obviously not a good showing. OK, moving on. Texans tackle Duane Brown and some other lady performed "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye and Kimbra on Houston's KRBE 104.1 morning drive show this morning because Brown apparently loves the song and work...

J.J. Watt "Proposes" To His Six-Year-Old Biggest Fan
Earlier this month, one of those "crying children" viral video made the rounds. But this one was different: it wasn't the usual kid crying because their team lost. Six-year-old Breanna was upset that she wasn't 25, because if she were, she would be able to marry Texans star J.J. Watt....

Your Divisional Playoffs Open Thread
Seattle at Atlanta 1:00 p.m. (FOX): Well, it's put up or shut up for the "Falcons stink in the playoffs" narrative. It really could not have shaken out any worse for them, though, as the white-hot Seattle Seahawks come into town. While Atlanta was winding down the season, securing the top seed in th...

Arian Foster Took Special Exception To Dan Shaughnessy's Especially Terrible Texans Column
There's a good case to be made that the Patriots face an easy road to the AFC championship game. In recent weeks the Texans have looked less like the team that gored the league for the better part of the last two years and more like the reliably .500 team they were early in Gary Kubiak's tenure. As ...

Who Wants To Sex J.J. Watt? Bengals-Texans, In Three Gifs
So, 23 years now, and a guaranteed extra 365 days (at least) on that 8,400 day playoff winless streak for the Bengals. Yikes! They sure do suck. Matt Schaub played just OK but still completed 29/38 passes, Arian Foster ran for 140 yards, and J.J. Watt continued to be a sort of revolutionarily good ...

Your NFL Wildcard Open Thread
Cincinnati at Houston (NBC), 4:30 p.m.: The Texans may have the superior record but they backed into the playoffs, losing three of their last four, while the Bengals haven't lost a game by more than one point since Week 9. Plus, it'd be more fun if they won, so root for them....

The Bengals Really Could Break Their 8,400-Day Playoff Winless Streak Today
For a summer in college I interned for the sports department of the Columbus Dispatch, which sent me for a few days to cover Cincinnati Bengals training camp.
