    Lance rubbing his eye and he's always wondering why he gets the pink eye. Come on, man!

    Chester Pitts on his national show had a running into Cal at the club story.

    Crazy that Watson cant carry a team that is so bereft of talent. Seems as if that is what ALL "good" QBs do!! LOL

    One thing to remember about the 4-12 season is that the Texans lost a lot of close games. Those games easily could have gone the other way with some luck and better coaching. In some of those games, Watson was the only reason they were even close .

    Yep. Didnt JJ say it himself? "Sorry bro we ruined one of your years - we should have 11 wins" or something like that?

    I throw that out there because some guys think that the QB should sholder the blame when a defense is historically bad and they are being led by an interim coach, but they will slob the knob of QBs who are in uber stable situations and surrounded by talent.

    Give me the guy who can produce among the chaos.

    Kind of like the David Johnson acquisition. He was really good once upon a time 2014-2017 then slowly got worse and finally hurt. Texans can become the church version of Last Chance U or the Houston Rockets.

    For some reason, his head looks like it's photoshopped onto his body.

    Anyone else?

    I was thinking for a big dude he has no shoulders, but that's likely because his head is so huge. Weird pic.

    Mauck took particular delight in the lyrics he wrote about the Cowboys ("the most hated team in football," he still says), especially after the Oilers rallied from a 21-10 deficit to beat Dallas 30-24 in 1979 at Texas Stadium and claim the state's bragging rights.

    "We beat their ass on Thanksgiving Day in Dallas," Mauck said. "On the plane ride home, Bum said, 'You oughta sing that verse about the Cowboys.' So I did! I went up to the pilot's cockpit and got on the damn radio and sang that last verse to the team. S---, everybody went crazy."

    When the Super Bowl race is over
    When those Cowboys finally fall
    We'll carry 'em back to Houston
    on the Oiler Cannonball

    [...]

    The Texans may never capture the city's hearts the same way.

    "I don't think it could be that again," Schnitzer said. "I think a lot of it was lost when Bum was fired. The whole morale of Houston changed."

    There won't be an NFL coach like Bum Phillips again -- and certainly not one who dresses like him.

    "Not until Nike starts selling cowboy hats," Wade Phillips said.

    There will always be one title he's proud that Bum and his Oilers claimed.

    "Like my dad always said, the Cowboys may have been America's Team," said Wade Phillips, who still lives in Houston. "But we were Texas' team."
