    I heard yesterday about Alex Carrington being in Houston and I just thought it had something to do with the quad injury he got last year. Interesting depth signing.

    He's pretty injury prone though:

    Oh for sure, it's just a depth signing.

    It was a funny jab from a BBS poster. From the beat writer? Unprofessional.

    Aaron Wilson>>> McClain anyways.


    I'm sick of McClain spamming my team stream with Baylor tweets. And plugs about people that he thinks like him.

    that is the problem. i stopped thinking of pancakes as a professional anything. but you're right the way the texans run things, this could be the last we hear of pancakes as a beat writer.

    Is it me, or does it make your apology seem less sincere when you announce it over Twitter 24hrs beforehand.


    McClain should be glad people on Twitter didn't treat him with the same disrespect he tweeted Clowney. There's one thing he can say about Clowney. There are a few more people can say about him.


    Don't throw stones, Mr. McClain.

    I wish Clowney responded with something like this.

    In any case, I hope Clowney proves Pancakes wrong by playing the full season.

    He shouldve been canned two years ago during the draft where he was drunkenly tweeting about how dumb Ricky Smith was to pass on Seastrunk.

    Yeah well they let Lance Z get away with his "Ozzie Newsome drank your milkshake" BS when the Ravens traded up ahead of the Texans to pick Arthur Brown who is a scrub level player.
