    Turns out that you were wrong.There is no evidence that Schaub's family was threatened with physical assault. Shouting obscenities at someone is not sufficient to qualify as an assault. Regardless, Schaub has denied that anyone stopped at his home and waited outside for his family.

    So one moron stops and yells an obscenity at Schaub's house takes a picture and drives off?

    Well at least that moron was not too bad - heck we had a group of idiots following Yao Ming to his house....

    In the media friendly world we live in, those walls between entertainer and fans are evaporating fast.

    Common decency would say "Don't do that" and most people would never do anything like that, but some folks ain't all there....

    At least it seems like it was seriously overblown......

    True - true....

    And apparently my attempt at Humor was poorly timed as well.

    I still think Kubiak doesn't have the sack to bench Schaub though, when he really could use a benching to get his head clear.

    Schaub said he has no knowledge of any incident. No yelling, nothing. People have been known to drive by his house and take pictures, but that's all.


    My guess is the media made it all up or it was a neighbor, who called it in, and it was mistakenly tied to Shaub.

    LOL Make no mistake, NFL security isn't the Houston Police Department and make no mistake, cussing at someone in their driveway isn't criminal trespass or assault.

    Did you leave a for sale sign in Schaub's yard?

    Not sure if your joking or not, but somebody I know posted a picture of one on twitter, I'm pretty sure the person who posted it put up the sign in his yard but I can't be certain.

    It's really simple. There is only one way the NFL VP of Security can make the following statement:

    "In this case, Monday afternoon, a vehicle pulled into his driveway, an unidentified individual yelled obscenities. The police department is involved. We've been in contact with them as we normally would for anything like this. And because it is a team issue, they have a security director, we work with them.

    "In this case, they'll be working closely with the police department. But it's going to be investigated and handled seriously by Houston Police Department."

    Whether you choose to believe this or not, changes nothing. The Texans notified the NFL of this incident. Everything else we've heard today from HPD, Matt Schaub and the Texans is pure spin/damage control. Houston has taken some big hits in the national media recently (jersey burning incident). Either the Schaub/Texans have since chosen not to pursue this further... or they are doing so without the media spotlight. That's my personal take. Nobody has to agree... it's fine.

    You say a lot of things without really knowing anything. The cop car could be a coincidence or it could very well be cops being paid by the Texans for security. You don't really but by all means pretend that you do.

    Sounds like a precautionary measure taken, just in case any fans get any ideas. Should have been done after the Seattle game, if you ask me. At this point, it would be stupid not to take that action.

    I only know what's been reported by the NFL VP of Security. So basically, everyone (including Schaub, HPD, etc.) is calling him a liar. You don't become the VP of NFL Security by making up reports, or neglecting to vet information from league sources.

    But sure, the squad car parked near Schaub's residence is a mere coincidence. That seems entirely more plausible. It's that or the Texans paid cops to provide surveillance because a random fan drove by and took pictures -- which Schaub admits happens quite often.

    Either way, you win! Great job. More rep for you.

    Yesterday you were certain someone was going to be charged with assault and criminal trespass and today you're certain a police car near Schaub's house is there because someone threatened him despite again not any evidence of that. I've given possible reasons for the cop car that are just as plausible as yours but feel free to tell me how right you are based on nothing. Thanks, Columbo.

    C'mon, you know full well that's not what I said yesterday. What I said was that I was certain of at least one penal code violation in the incident as reported. That's the key: as reported. I followed that by saying I was in favor of pressing charges against the perp should authorities append him/her.

    You claim I've made assertions 'based on nothing', while I've maintained my deductions are based on statements made by the NFL (as received from the Texans)
    . I'm not going to insert my recent posts. You are fairly intelligent and can read.

    I realize my conclusions may not be popular but that's fine. As for our exchange, I'm sure we both have other things infinitely more constructive to do. Well, let me not speak for you. I'm done here.
