Matt Schaub Says The NFL Will Never Evolve Beyond The Pocket Passer

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. The 1990s had just come to a close—a dismal era even by the Bengals' standards—and the beat writers killed time during practice by stumping o...

Trindon Holliday Is 16-0

The NFL's shortest player is also its winningest. Return specialist Trindon Holliday just completed a perfect regular season, 5-0 with Houston, 11-0 with Denver, and he joins an exclusive club featuring the rosters of the 1972 Dolphins and the 2007 Patriots. If the Broncos go all the way, Holliday w...

Here Are Some Photos Of J.J. Watt Bro-ing Down At The Club

The Texans clinched the AFC South with Sunday's win over the Colts, and defensive end J.J. Watt was eager to celebrate after the game. Those brash boozehounds over at Shot of Ginn have six photos of Watt bringing the cool to what looked like a swell time at the 5th Amendment in Houston, and we sugge...

The Texans Will Build The NFL's Two Largest Video Screens

Houston is mighty proud of its stadiums. When the Astrodome, the world's first domed multipurpose stadium became obsolete, they built Reliant Stadium, which just completely dwarfed it. But Reliant, somehow, remains the only field in the NFL without a digital scoreboard. And up in Arlington, Jerry Jo...

The Patriots Did Not Shut Down J.J. Watt Last Night

Reading what people have written about splendid Texans defensive end J.J. Watt from last night's Patriots romp, you'd think New England's line squashed Watt. "Kudos to Dante Scarnecchia and the New England offensive line for keeping Brady so clean," Peter King tweeted. "Texans standout defensive end...

Even Danny Woodhead's Butterfingers Can't Stop New England From Scoring: Patriots-Texans In Four GIFs

New England 42, Houston 14: Tom Brady had four touchdowns and 296 yards. Matt Schaub? He also participated in the game. New England running backs accounted for 127 yards rushing and another touchdown. Houston running backs had 99 yards and one touchdown. The Patriots ran only two more plays, but out...

Andre Johnson Spent $19,521.14 At Toys "R" Us For Kids In Child Protective Services' Care

Here's one to get you in the spirit of the season. Renowned nice guy Andre Johnson went down to Toys "R" Us and bought toys for foster kids in Texas' Child Protective Services. We haven't verified whether $19,521.14, the amount cited by a random Instragram commenter, is exact, but with a receipt th...
