Great. But do the Texans share that desire?

Consider this post an apology to the stealthy defensive end and to Rick Smith for bringing him to Houston in the first place.

We take a look at the situation revolving around defensive end Antonio Smith as he enters the final year of his original Houston Texans contract. Can the Texans gain relief from his $9.5 million cap hit?

The conversation between the BRB staff was far more compelling than the one between Deirdorf and Gumbell. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.

Antonio Smith fined for his conduct in Sunday's Texans win over Miami. Whither Richie Incognito?

The final chapter of Checkdown has Scott as the object of everybody's eye; the fans want his head, the media want his story. Will he disappear? Will he tell his story? You'll only know by reading the last chapter.

In Chapter 19 of Checkdown, we finally learn who ordered the death of Eliot Nash. I'll give you a hint: the butler did not do it. But once Scott makes the big reveal, will he regret doing it?

Carlos has finally been arrested, but will he talk? Will he spill his guts to Carlyle and Scott? And did he kill Nash and Belgreave? You'll only find out if you read this week's Checkdown.

Podolski is under arrest, and the investigation turns to the big prize; finding and arresting the man who seems to be in the middle of everything: Carlos Guerrero. Will they bring him to justice? Find out in Chapter Seventeen of Checkdown.
