Houston Texans Defense: Partying Like It's 2009?
Throughout the 2009 season, there was a huge hullaballoo about the Houston Texans having the best defense in team history. At the time, I argued it was smoke and mirrors: we consistently under-performed against teams that played remotely talented quarterbacks, and we took advantage of the Rusty...
Three And Out: Useless Predictions For Steelers-Texans
Last week's predictions weren't a total failure. Part of me is tempted to get out of the prediction game while I still can. Settle down, raise a family, work a regular job...that all sounds real nice. Unfortunately, I can't change what I am. And what I am, my friends, is a moron with a weekly...
Texans Ramblings And Musings: Wednesday Night Edition

2011 Texans Training Camp: Day Three Recap
-Some quotes from various folks after today's practice. One such snippet from Kubes caught my attention. Coach-speak, or something more? (on if any young guys have jumped out at him) "A guy jumped at me today. Earl Mitchell jumped at me today. I was just telling the players I think good players...

Disclaimer: This post is so bad, it makes me want to VOMIT, and I haven't even written it, much less read my own words. Hi, I'm bfd, and this is Part 2 of a two-part nausea inducing series. Part 1 was about my Top 5 Reasons To Be Pessimistic, and it was the worst thing ever published on the...
bfd's Top 5 Reasons To Be Pessimistic About Your 2011 Houston Texans
Now, before y'all go and get your collective panties into a whitey-tighty, skid-mark stained wad (with papabear's laciest g-string somehow mixed in), there will be a Top 5 Reasons to Be Optimistic post. So DMY, KWIM? To say that, on paper, our off-season has been a sea of good news, free sex and...
2011 Free Agent Watch: Day Five (Part I)
With things slowing down considerably yesterday for the Texans in the free agent game, most expect an answer today on Vonta Leach. It is said that he is being courted by the Ravens, Broncos, Giants and Cowboys as well as Houston. There has also been no news on the possible trade front for David...
