    When I first heard of Tyrod, I thought his name Tyrod was "Tie Rod" and it was a colorful manly nickname like "Hacksaw" Dugan or "Ironhead" Hayward.

    Very disappointed when I first saw his name in print and learned otherwise. I've always been secretly a little sad at the missed opportunity since then when his name comes up.

    I hear he was just brought in because he's Christian, can anyone confirm?

    Gonna go ahead and point out that a lot of black people were raised going to church on Sundays and categorize themselves as Christians. The "fans" that oppose Christianity should probably start following another team

    Majority of athletes. Majority of Americans in general.

    We don't oppose christianity. We oppose building a professional football team solely based on if the player or players meet Easterbunny's definition of religious and allowing a preacher to build such a team.

    it's one thing to embrace Christianity in your personal life and quite another to embrace it as an organization. It would be like the company I work for coming out and saying we are a Christian company. One's business and one's personal faith should be kept separate.

    Less than 30 posts before hating on Christianity in this new Texans thread.

    Tyrod is a good backup. Not a bad signing at all.

    Exactly that's what the contrarians miss when playing the contrarian role. And if you're going to do Christianity right (easterby) he can't be the dbag he is to regular people ie "the love the people in the building" quote from Deshaun that I always go back to.

    He is in fact an evangelical Christian. He won't win many games for you if any, but what's important is when Jack Easterby gives his next locker room speech he will be surrounded by a choir of players just like Ty who will not mock him, tune him out, or otherwise rat him out to SI.

    Fans always trying to read into things when it’s as simple as having familiarity with a player.
