Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Live From Texans Training Camp....

So I'm going to try a new concept today. Since I'm at training camp this morning, I'm going to try to do a live post, adding notes to the thread as we go. This gets me around the Twitter limit on letters and also allows for a bit more comprehensive discussions. So here goes...I got here about 20 till 7 (when the gates open). Line was already in place but not too long...I'm behind maybe 200 people...but I'm going to look for a spot that can get good pictures from when I walk in the gate. I well attempt to post those live also if the tech behaves....

In case you weren't aware...

the videos do work. Pretty awesome you’re giving updates/videos live at camp. Thanks for scratching my Texans itch! Could you possibly try to record a play with some Honey Badger, EM/FM action in 11 on 11?

This is great TB, keep up posted!

Definitely better than rifling through misinformation on twitter
