Give It A Rest, J.J. Watt

Heavy rains flooded Houston and parts of southeast Texas today, affecting approximately four million people. Public transportation is shut down; schools have been closed; and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner asked this morning that all non-essential city employees stay put. Is Texans defensive end J.J...

Sounds Like Some Bad Blood Between The Broncos And Brock Osweiler

Brock Osweiler feels he’s more likely to be successful with the Texans than he would have been with the Broncos. The Broncos believe they’re better off without Osweiler at QB for the price he was asking. I’m sure we all have strong feelings on who is correct (it could be both! It could be neither.),...

Report: Texans Sign Brock Osweiler

The Houston Texans have reportedly agreed to a deal with quarterback Brock Osweiler. Rand Getlin of NFL Network broke the news first....

Report: The Broncos Could Lose Brock Osweiler To The Texans

The conventional wisdom on developing a quarterback is that it’s best to stash the guy for a while, sit him for a few years behind a veteran and then hand over the keys when he’s more physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared. The Broncos looked like they played it to perfection, drafting Brock...

The Texans And Browns May Or May Not Be Interested In Colin Kaepernick, Depending Who You Believe

The Super Bowl was just three weeks ago but the NFL offseason is already in full swing. Thus far we’ve seen combine dong, Hard Knocks rumors, and the Ryan boys styling out. The draft is in two months, and teams are steady evaluating who can fill spots of need. One of those spots that could be empty:...

Bill O'Brien Had No Choice

Yesterday, Brian Hoyer played one of the very worst games by an NFL quarterback in the playoffs that I’ve ever seen. He threw four picks, lost a fumble, and I counted at least two other throws that could easily have turned into interceptions. By some metrics, it was one of the worst such games of al...

Video Game Spokesperson Delivers Special Message For J.J. Watt

Jeremy Maclin And J.J. Watt Both Leave Game With Injuries On The Same Play

J.J. Watt, who’d just spent a little bit on the sideline right before this play nursing a groin injury, had to stop his rush halfway through due to a flare up. Right after he went down, Chiefs lineman Eric Fisher got a cheap shot in on the neck of a defenseless Watt. Watt went into the locker room, ...

Jadeveon Clowney Fed Up

Update: Never mind!...

Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones

Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...

DeAndre Hopkins To Ref: "What The Fuck You Looking At?"

Texans - Colts is one of the few close games taking place this afternoon, and it’s been pretty ugly. T.J. Yates tore his ACL and viewers can now enjoy a Matt Hasselbeck vs. Brandon Weeden duel. DeAndre Hopkins took out his frustration out on a ref and a hot mic caught it loud and clear for all of us...

Did J.J. Watt Break His Hand While Jerking Off? [Update]

Texans defensive end J.J. Watt showed up with a cast on his hand today, and didn’t practice. Watt said he broke his hand, but that the injury won’t keep him out of Sunday’s game against the Patriots. How’d that happen?...

J.J. Watt And The Texans Are On Fire

The Texans looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL for the majority of the first half of the season. Their only wins through Week 7 were over the Bucs in Jameis Winston’s third game and the goddamn Jaguars. The team was embroiled in the dumbest quarterback controversy ever between Ryan Mallett...

Brian Hoyer Couldn't Remember The Plays After Suffering A Concussion

The Houston Chronicle reports that Brian Hoyer will not play on Sunday vs. the Jets, with T.J. Yates starting and newly signed Brandon Weeden backing up. Hoyer has yet to pass the tests to get out of the NFL’s concussion protocol, after a scary reaction to what looked at the time like a workaday hit...

The Lame Andy Dalton-J.J. Watt Beef Has Come To An End

Following the creation of any beef, there comes a time when the parties involved in said beef have to make a choice: Will they escalate things with another dose of burnsauce, or will they leave the kitchen altogether? Andy Dalton and J.J. Watt have reached that point, and both men are standing down....

Report: GM Stopped Bill O'Brien From Cutting Ryan Mallett Before Sunday's Game [UPDATE]

The Texans may have the saddest ongoing quarterback controversy in the league, with head coach Bill O’Brien yo-yoing between Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer, both of whom are bad. According to a report from the Houston Chronicle, O’Brien tried to put an end to the back-and-forth before last Sunday’s ga...

DeAndre Hopkins Is The NFL's Hardest-Working Receiver

Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins only caught six balls for 50 yards during yesterday’s blowout loss against the Dolphins. Normally, that’s the kind of stat line you’d expect a No. 1 receiver with a bad quarterback to put up in a game where the entire team fell apart around him. But Hopkins has b...

Arian Foster Leaves Game With Non-Contact Achilles Injury (UPDATE)

Arian Foster left today’s blowout against the Dolphins with an Achilles injury, after he went down without contact accelerating out of pre-snap motion. As you can see above, he knew something was wrong as soon as he started to run. Almost immediately, he was ruled out for the game....

Bob McNair Changes Mind, Wants Refund Of His Donation To Group Opposing Anti-Discrimination Law

Texans owner Bob McNair donated $10,000 to Campaign for Houston, a PAC that opposes an ordinance that intends to protect Houstonians from discrimination. (The opposition has mostly been from those opposed to giving protections to gay and transgender residents.) After receiving backlash for backing t...
