November 6, 2008Tuesday Morning Quarterbacking: Post-Denmark, Pro-Texans, Really Jetlagged Edition
You're not going to believe this, but last week, I wrote a post in which I predicted the Texans would defeat the Browns. But I headed back out for Europe, and things got lost in the shuffle, so that post never ran. But trust me, I actually did write that the Texans were going to defeat the Cleveland Browns. So I wasn't exactly shocked when I turned on sports talk radio last night after getting back from Europe and I discovered that the Texans won the game. But I was shocked to discover j
November 25, 2008Texas Tailgating: Monday Night Football
This is it -- the Big Night of Tailgating in Houston. Monday Night Football is in town and our top tailgating teams will be putting on a show. Even if you don't have tickets to the game, it's worth taking the train to the Reliant Parking Lot just to take a look at the tailgating action. Here are some highlights from earlier in the season to get you in the mood for the main event tonight. -- Robb Walsh

December 1, 2008Who Knew Jacques Reeves Was So Awesome? A Jaguars-Texans Pregame Report
I've got to apologize to everyone. I didn't know that I was an idiot. I honestly thought that I actually knew something about football. But thanks to the Chron's John McClain, I now know that what I thought I knew I didn't know. Seriously. You see, I thought that Jacques Reeves, the defensive back for the Houston Texans, was a lousy football player. After all, the Dallas Cowboys didn't want him anymore, and their defensive backfield was full of holes. And with my eyes I've seen him get
December 1, 2008Remembering John Lennon
On December 8, 1980 - 28 years to the day - John Lennon was shot and killed on the steps of the Dakota Apartments on New York City's Upper West Side by professed fan Mark David Chapman. It was a Monday just like today, and millions of people found out when ABC Sports' Howard Cosell broke the news near the end of the New England Patriots-Miami Dolphins Monday Night Football Game. Lennon's Double Fantasy album had just come out, and " (Just Like) Starting Over" was already in the Top 5. Roc
December 8, 2008Vote Carrie Milbank for Playboy's Sexiest Sportscaster
Last week I wrote a post about the latest edition of Playboy.com's Sexiest Sportscaster contest. And I was a bit disappointed at some of the choices. And though I have some Erin Andrews burnout, I could understand the desire of many of my fellow males (and probably quite a few females too) to see her naked, even if there is no indication that she would so pose if she were to win. She didn't last year, after all. My disappointment, instead, was directed to the nominations of Lisa Guerrero an

Today, in conjunction with his new single "Red, White and Pink-Slip Blues," Hank Jr. announced his "Bocephus Bailout Package."

July 31, 2009Texans-Saints: New, "Improved " D Falls Flat In First Home Test
Run the ball, and stop the run.It's one of the oldest clichés on what determines NFL success. But if there's much truth to it, the Texans' potential breakthrough season might already be in some trouble.With Reggie Bush out with a calf injury, the Saints (2-0) gashed the Texans (1-1) on Saturday night at Reliant Stadium for 173 rushing yards on a whopping 6.4 yards per carry, dominating Houston in every phase in a 38-14 preseason victory.Making matters more embarrassing, the Saints rushed
August 24, 200925 Reasons You Can't Talk Enough About Brett Favre Tonight
It's always nice when the local pro sports squad gets national TV attention. Tonight, for instance, the Houston Texans are taking on the Minnesota Vikings on ESPN's Monday Night Football. Sure, the game doesn't really count for anything, but it's nice to get a little attention.So I've done a little checking, and have discovered the 25 major topics that ESPN will discuss during tonight's game.1. Brett Favre.2. Brett Favre.3. Is there a schism in the Vikings locker room as the result of Fa
August 31, 2009Some (Few) Good Things Emerge From Texans' Monday-Night Loss
It's never truly Texans season until there's the first Matt Schaub injury scare. This year, it came before the season even started -- when the Texans' QB ran out of bounds and turned his left ankle in Monday night's 17-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.But Schaub recovered, and so did the Texans, who despite a disastrous start finally showed a few glimpses -- emphasis on "few" -- of the winning team so many expected them to be in 2009.Adrian Peterson's 75-yard romp through the Texans defense o
September 1, 2009"Kill Yourself" or "Don't Give Up"? Five Possible Theme Songs for the 2009 Houston Texans
[Ed. note: Due to an editing mistake, this should have been up Friday afternoon. Apologies... we sure hope it didn't jinx the Texans or anything.] You may have missed it - what with there being almost no media coverage whatsoever - but football season started this week. Our own Texans are looking to improve on two consecutive .500 seasons and bring Houston one step closer to a championship in a sport that isn't basketball, soccer, or minor league hockey. Because apparently none of those count

He's talking about agitated drinkers, and in this case, the source of the agitation is a Monday Night Football bingo game at Front Porch Pub (217 Gray, 713-571-9571). Bingo and anger normally go together like mascara and the rainy season, but this is different: On these boards, the squares feature events that happen over the course of a football game (from "WR scores TD" to "Useless stat

October 15, 2009Texans Find Yet Another Way To Turn Breakthrough Into Heartbreak
Before 2004, I remember laughing at Red Sox fans and the Curse of the Bambino. I rolled my eyes while Cubs fans whined about a goat. I remember being baffled that grown men and women could seriously believe or discuss outside forces having an impact on what occurs in the field of play.Then I met the Houston Texans.It's not that there's a logical case to believe the Texans (5-4) are cursed. As always, it's random luck that simply finds its way to go against them, as it did in Sunday's heartbre
November 9, 2009Game Time: Charlie Weis Getting Canned; Business Is About To Pick Up
I remember my tenth grade Economics teacher Mr. Amstutz telling our class one time about how, whenever there's a recession or a depression, one thing that can "pull the economy out of the dumper is a good ol' fashioned WAR." Keep in mind, this is in 1984, when the United States versus Russia rivalry was at Brady-versus-Manning levels, so the wisdom of telling a roomful of teenagers that perhaps nuking Mother Russia was a good thing was questionable at best.Today, I'd love to go find Mr. Ams

For the second week in a row, it's homecoming week on Monday Night Football. This past Monday, it was the Baltimore Ravens returning to the place from which they came, Cleveland, to play the Browns. This coming Monday, the Tennessee Titans are returning to Houston to take on the Texans.With that said, here are a few things to watch for in the time leading up to, and including the game.1.
