    Glad someone said it.... That dumb ass owner had to know The Texans lost the city while Obrien was here, especially after the DHop debacle.... Makes sense that JJ would realize it, since he's an attention w****(not on purpose but a w**** nonetheless).... You can't be "JJ Watt"without the cult following!

    Good for JJ. His act had been getting old, but he did a great thing here. Much bigger fan of him now

    What act? You weren't a big fan of him before?

    The dude hasn't done anything remotely wrong off the field and his motor on the field is still probably the highest on the team.

    Agreed. This should have been the tipping point for everyone, including JJ, to question/confront Billy.

    First sign was the clowney trade, then the Miami trade, then the Hopkins trade, now 0-4 bill almost gets his ass kicked by jj. Sprinkle in the bad coaching performances before all this and I’d say it was like the 5th or 6th sign.

    I want to hear how he decided that BOB earned a GM promotion after his bad-to-terrible postseason run. Was he looking at all these other teams with GMs thinking, "Why waste money pay lot men when one man do trick!"

    I also want to know why they let go of Chris Olsen. As a guy not in the spotlight of this front office where it's been game of thrones for the last decade, the only time you'd hear about him it'd always be about his ability with the cap.

    A’s can’t win a a World Series with this philosophy,

    They are 5 years behind the Astros who thought the same in 15’.

    So basically BoB got fired because JJ had had enough and Cal got rid of BoB before he could trade JJ and a first rounder for a 7th round draft pick in 2025.
