Here's the complete list. After the jump, some more information about the list's breakdown and notable snubs, courtesy of Yahoo Sports' Mike Huguenin.

Surely Arian Foster talked more about it than one quote in a single interview, but this is all I've been able to find so far. Via Rotoworld, The Best Running Back in the NFL talks about the possibility of a long-term contract in Houston:

As Frederik Nyman FanShotted earlier today, the Raiders offered Texans' quarterback coach Greg Knapp their offensive coordinator gig. Not surprisingly, Knapp accepted the offer.

Knapp did a fantastic job in a very tough situation this past season. When Matt Schaub was injured, Knapp had to prepare Matt Leinart to start. Then, Leinart went down before even completing a half, leaving T.J. Yates as the man under center. Knapp was charged with preparing a rookie who hadn't even suited up for a Texans game before November 27, 2011 to start on December 4, 2011. With the bye week already in the books. Oh, and to compound the difficulty of the task, we weren't talking about Yates taking snaps for some woebegone squad whose playoff dream had already ended. When Yates took over, the Texans were 8-3, with the first playoff berth and division title in franchise history not yet clinched.

Here's a complete transcript. Because I'm such a swell guy, I've also taken the liberty of pulling a few quotes out for you so you never have to leave BRB don't have to click another link if you're not so inclined.

(on TE Owen Daniels’ injury) "Owen does have a hand issue. First off, it’s not going to keep him from playing. He’s fine. He’ll be back on the practice field when we get started on Wednesday. That’s nothing that’s going to hold him back. Still kind of in an evaluation process, but he went back in the game and he will be ready to go. It’s not an issue from that standpoint."

(on if there are any other injuries) "No, we actually came out okay. (Mike) Brisiel, he ended up playing about three quarters of the game, got a little fatigued late. (Antoine) Caldwell went in, but Mike should be even better this week I would think. Other than that, we just got some nicks. (Bryan) Braman came out okay. He should be ready to go. We’re thinking that Troy Nolan has an excellent chance to be ready to contribute this week. For the most part, we came out as clean as we could."

With the holiday weekend, the regular season finale, and the upcoming playoff game, you, like me, may well have missed that Bum Phillips was inducted into the Texas Bowl Gridiron Legends on Saturday. That's noteworthy in and of itself.

What's even more amazing, however, is this story from the Port Arthur News. Seems that Bob West, a reporter for the PA News, visited with Bum and learned that Wade Phillips, beloved defensive coordinator of your Houston Texans, may well be one of the toughest SOBs around. After all, it's not often a guy with a "tumor the size of a volleyball" is back at work in less than two weeks.

While the official schedule won't be released until April, hit the jump for a list of next season's home and away games for the boys in steel blue, battle red, and liberty white, courtesy of NFL.com.

You knew that your Houston Texans would be hosting the Cincinnati Bengals next weekend. You just didn't know when. Now, thanks to a report from Geoff Hobson (of Bengals.com), you do. After the jump.

As Barry's FanShot says, your Houston Texans only had two players selected to the Pro Bowl. There's no doubt that both Arian Foster and Johnathan Joseph were deserving of the honor. Both have been among the best in the NFL at their respective positions throughout the year.
