Here's to all of you having a relaxing and happy Independence Day. I'm guilty of taking it for granted sometimes, and I appreciate the fact that some people might disagree with me, but...The United States of America is the greatest country in the world. And I'd like to extend a special thank you to all of you who have served (including but not limited to BRB's own SOLIS) and/or contributed to making this great nation of ours what it is today.

So...how do I tie this seemingly non-football post to your Houston Texans? Through the Red-Headed Stranger, that's how. I'm sure that several of the Texans players and coaches will be on hand tomorrow when Willie brings his annual Picnic to H-Town. Call me crazy, but Jeff Zgonina seems like he'd be a huge Willie fan.
