Over the last decade or so, the soap opera format on television has been dying a slow death. While there used to be about a dozen or so in circulation, now we are down to Days of our Lives on NBC, and maybe two others. I bring this up because, if youre a starving soap opera enthusiast, the best solution to fill that void might be to become a Houston Texans fan. On Wednesday, it was another day, and thus another crisis to contain, as one of the worst kept secrets became official on Wednesday m...

Rumors that Rootes would leave the Texans have been surfacing for a few weeks. He had been the franchises president since 2002. 

Now that the Super Bowl is in our rearview mirror, it’s time to look ahead at the next few months of the NFL calendar. That means quarterback movement, salary cap fluctuations, the draft, and much more in what could be one of the wildest offseasons in recent memory.

Deshaun Watson's departure is clearly baked into any future prognostications for the Houston Texans.

The Houston Chronicle were the first to report the resignation. "We sincerely appreciate Jameys multiple contributions to the Texans franchise over his tenure and look forward to seeing him succeed in his new ventures," Texans chair and CEO Cal McNair said in a statement. "We will now build upon this foundation and move forward with a bold and unwavering commitment to winning championships, creating memorable experiences for our fans, and doing great things for Houston." The Texans said Rootes ...

After the Houston Texans floundered to a 4-12 season in 2020, a disastrous few months that led to the purge of Bill OBrien and further power consolidation by Executive Vice President of Football Operations (and aspiring standup comedian) Jack Easterby, the biggest offseason storyline was supposed to surround the next phase of future Hall of Famers J.J. Watts career. "Where will the three-time Defensive Player of the Year ply his trade in 2021?" was supposed to be THE burning question around th...

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports As Washingtons offer of a first-round pick and change for Matthew Stafford showed, the team is serious about improving. It needs to be, with Alex Smith set to turn 37 and Kyle Allen coming off a severe injury. Allen and Taylor Heinicke are restricted free agents; each could pass for a stopgap starter. But this offseason is already showing the QB measuring stick has moved. Washington, which also will not land Carson Wentz, is well off the pace. Free agency br...

Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images Brett Favre was asked about Deshaun Watson’s situation with the Texans, and didn’t pass up the opportunity to take a thinly veiled shot at the quarterback. “I’m kind of old school,” Favre told Yahoo! Sports. “I think you play. You get paid a ton of money to do a certain job and just do it and let the chips fall where they may. I think we make too much money to voice an opinion, but I’m not saying he’s wrong. Again, I think it’s a different day...

We are officially in Day 29 of the hostage crisis we like to call "Deshaun Watson Watch." For it was on January 6, 2021, when we first learned of Watsons disenchantment with, if not outright anger at, his current employer, the Houston Texans. More specifically, reports said, that Watson was livid with owner Cal McNair over the fact that McNair had promised to keep the quarterback apprised of progress with hiring a general manager and head coach. Unfortunately, Watson found out about the teams ...

On Friday, we were introduced to the Houston Texans fourth head coach in franchise history. His name is David Culley, and on the surface, his resume is one that, at the very least, ignites some questions, and at worst, exacerbates the fears that Texans fans have that their team is headed on a futile death march over the next two to three seasons, at least. You see, Culley is a 65 year old coaching lifer, whos never been a coordinator in his NFL career, let alone a head coach. Thats the confusin...
