The Favre Rapture coverage is mercifully over

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

I don’t think I can even get his name out without vomiting. Brett Fa–HORF!! Brett Fav–HORF!! CHOKE!! GASP!! Worse than the coverage of the Rapture in Houston, though, was the stuff that actually went on, on the field. The Texans might have been pumped up on adrenaline and ready to erase the memories from last [...]

Brett Christ and the Vikes up at the half

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I’m pretty sure by the end of this broadcast, and through the highlights tomorrow – my body will just force a projectile vomiting fit whenever I hear the name Brett Favre. The wall-to-wall Rapture coverage on ESPN is sickening. Um, though, not quite as sickening as what’s going on in Reliant Stadium. The Good: DeMeco [...]

Travis Johnson traded to SD for a 5th or 6th

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

According to NFL Insider Adam Schefter’s Twitter page, the Texans have somehow managed to trade chronic underacheiver, and former first round draft pick DT Travis Johnson to the Chargers. John McClain now reports that the Texans will receive a fifth or sixth round draft choice for Johnson, depending on how much he plays with his [...]

Will the D-line bounce back against the Vikings?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Last week I was looking for Frank Okam to put back-to-back solid games together. He was named the starter against the Saints, and laid a huge egg on the field. This week, I’m just hoping he looks at least average. The blogs and media have already said all that needs to be said about Amobi [...]

Duane Brown vs. Jared Allen II – worried?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I made a comment over at Steph’s blog regarding the “rematch” coming up on Monday night. Long story short – I’m concerned that Jared Allen will be frothing at the mouth, since he missed last week’s game due to an injury. She replied, saying that teams can’t play scared… and I couldn’t agree more. There’s [...]

Fantasy football league update

Author: Chris | Files under Fantasy Football, Houston Texans & NFL

First things first, let me put this out there: Please opt out now if you think you can’t commit to managing your team weekly. No harm, no foul – just let me know, because if you don’t show up for the draft AND you don’t manage your team the first week – I will simply [...]

Lots of questions after an ugly exhibition

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Just as there was no reason for us to overreact to last week’s game, there’s no reason to do so this week… that said there are some things that certainly merit hysterical panic discussion. THE DEFENSE Specifically – the run defense. It was UGLY out there, and it pretty much looked like the worst of [...]

My eyes are on Frank Okam for game two

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

After seeing some encouraging things last week against the Chiefs, we now will have a chance to see the Texans defense go up against a real NFL offense… maybe the BEST offense, the New Orleans Saints. Sure, the Texans aren’t going to show all their defensive looks in pre-season, but it’s a good time to [...]

610 AM report: Cato June has a broken forearm

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Our seemingly deep linebacker corps took a big hit today. SportsRadio 610′s Adam Clanton just reported that linebacker Cato June broke his forearm at practice today. This apparently just happened, so there are no specifics and no timetable… but if it is in fact a broken forearm – it’s going to be quite a while. [...]
