They released original Texan Steve McKinney.  My first reaction is complete shock and disbelief.  But really, it makes sense.  McKinney is 32 and coming off a major knee surgery.  Who knows how many years he has left in the tank.  And with the amount of money he makes, it's just too risky for the team.

Hello fellow BRBers!  I'm here to extend an open invitation (or maybe this is more like an open forum?) to all of you in the Houston area (or willing to travel).  How about we all meet up at a fine establishment such as Hooters or Buffalo Wild Wings and have some wings and beer.  I figure that most of us here at least have two things in common: the Texans, and humorous ramblings.  We could discuss the Texans humorously!  Also, it seems liek most of us are drinkers.  So, who's with me?

According to this blog on Yahoo anyway.  Check it out:

I immediately thought of two things:

1. Somewhere, Terrell Owens is crying...
   
2. Are they going to have their own reality show too?

You know, it just occurred to me that Eric Winston suffered an ACL injury his junior year at Miami.  Now I've said all along that if the coaching staff thought Winston could play left tackle, they would have stuck him there.  But now that it appears almost certain that Charles Spencer will never play left tackle for us again, do you think Winston could get a shot?  He's a few years removed from his injury, and before the injury he was heralded as a very athletic lineman.  Perhaps now that he's had two seasons to adjust to the speed of the NFL, rehab his knee, and get into even better shape, he'd be capable of anchoring down the left tackle position.  Thoughts?

Apparently Smithiak wants to bring him in for a visit.  I'm not sure why we'd be interested in him, other than to provide some veteran leadership and teach the young guys a thing or two.
