    Vince should know it's illegal to use their center as a weapon.

    This isn't really Training Camp related but couldn't figure out where else to put this.

    Week 1 is on September 13th? That's halfway through the month! And we actually play a regular season game in January! I mean....what the hell NFL?

    It is the latest possible start date. NFL starts first Thursday after labor day so this year is the longest into September we can possibility have labor day

    i wish there was football on labor day like in the 90s. Even if you're on vacation, you will still watch.

    A couple of my buddies saw DeAndre at a bar in midtown earlier this year. One of them went up to him and said something along the lines of "We need to make sure we keep Andre, the greatest Texan of all time in a Texan's uniform." Hopkins basically said " F*** Andre, this is my team now, I'm the number one WR on the team now."

    Not sure what to make of this, but it seems like the 2 never really got along

    They said that him and his crew were really cool and fun to be around, but apparently his comments about Andre were very negative

    Makes sense, Andre was a washed up diva that was a malcontent in the locker room....why would he really like someone like that? Also, he was better than Dre in his rookie season when it comes to yards per target but he had to wait till this year for the team to stop wasting targets on Dre so he can finally break into the top tier of WR's.

    Blah blah blah. Do you ever get tired of repeating the same old tired BS? Your schtick is a joke but you keep going no matter how often you're wrong

    Deandre is #1 but all reports are that Andre was a great mentor to him.

    AJ and Hopkins were good friends and Andre was always a solid mentor to Hopkins.

    Anything outside of that is false.

    Hopkins did start feeling the responsibility of it being his team though, but he'd never talk crap about Andre.

    And btw, no player talks like that when they are out at a bar/club/restaurant when random dudes step up to talk to them.

    Wow man you really need to cut this nonsense out. You act like the man stole your wife or girlfriend or something. I do not understand why fans stoop to this level when it's comes to some players. Smh

    I talked to B-Hop before the team went to Richmond. And said Dre taught him how to be the utmost professional on and off the field. He also said Andre just wanted to win a Super Bowl for the great City of Houston.


    Come on man stop making stuff up. What is your point anyways?

    Granted, but man...that's late to start football.

    I also noticed that Wild Card weekend playoff football starts on Friday? WTF?

    It's telling that you can't actually argue against anything I've said. Good job.
