J.J. Watt Has Retreated To A Cabin In The Woods To Become More Badass
Last year, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt spent his offseason crashing at his college buddy's house and basically doing nothing but working out.

Draymond Green Is A Taunting Goon, And He's My Favorite NBA Player
A lot of Golden State Warriors players are goons. Andrew Bogut is a goon. David Lee is a goon. Draymond Green is a goon. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson might run the most beautiful offense in the league, but the Warriors' goonery is an important component of their league-leading defense. But they...
Kevin Garnett Chucks Ball At, Headbutts Dwight Howard
Usually it is Kevin Garnett getting under his opponent's skin. But there is something so profoundly unlikeable about Dwight Howard—see Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, some heckler, and Ice Cube—that the normally cool-and-composed-while-being-a-jerk Garnett absolutely lost it on the play above, chucki...
Jimmy Butler Is A Bad, Bad Man
We already gushed over Jimmy Butler last week so no need to repeat it, but man is he fun to watch. Here he is throwing down a backdoor cut (down the middle of the court) alley-oop, just minutes after he absolutely stuffed James Harden to the ground on an attempted end-of-quarter buzzer beater....

Report That Andre Johnson Is Willing To Take A Pay Cut Is News To Him
Andre Johnson, the greatest receiver in Texans history and the longtime face of the franchise, may be somewhere else next year. He'll turn 34 during camp, and after a disappointing season, it'd be hard to justify the $16.1 million cap hit he'll carry. ...
Arian Foster Would Like To Remind You Of The Score

Houston TV Station Uses <i>NBA2K </i>Screenshot To Report Troy Daniels Trade
The Rockets traded Troy Daniels to the Timberwolves today for Corey Brewer and a draft pick, and Houston Fox affiliate KRIV reported on it during tonight's news. They didn't use an actual photo of Daniels, though; they used a screen shot from the NBA2K video game instead, for some reason....
Little Badass Sends Autographed Jersey To J.J. Watt
Last night, Texans defensive end and destroyer of worlds J.J. Watt tweeted out the picture above. It's a letter and a signed jersey that he received from a seven-year-old kid named Anthony Tarantelli, who just may be the most confident pee-wee football player on the planet....
A Plea To The Texans: Let J.J. Watt Play Quarterback

Dickhead Jaguars Fan Cancels Texans Fans' Plane Tickets

Video Evidence That We're All Just Living In J.J. Watt's World
This week's episode of Inside the NFL featured a mic'd up J.J. Watt stomping around, talking shit, and wreaking havoc during last Sunday's game against the Titans.
