It’s a bittersweet time of the year. The biggest football game of the season is on Sunday, but it is also the last one – the Super Bowl. For either the Ravens or the 49ers, a dream will be realized sometime late Sunday evening in the Louisiana bayou. For the loser, they will feel somewhat like the rest of us casual/hardcore football fans… Sad. Lonely. Lost. Saying to themselves, “Sh*t.. now I [...]
On December 12, 2011, the Houston Texans took their franchise seventeenth loss to the Indianapolis Colts. On this, their twentieth matchup versus the 1970 and 2006 Super Bowl Champs, the “Bulls on Parade” simply had their float deflated by the Colts late in the fourth quarter. Both the Colts and the Texans fought that day at a disadvantage. Although favored to win this game, the Texans’ star WR Andre Johnson was [...]
By P.D. Starr, State of the Texans. Everyone knows about the rigors of the Houston Texans’ training camp, the so-called “grind” of day-to-day practices for the players.

Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and….Lestar Jean? If you haven’t heard this name before, it’s about to fall out of the sky and hit you in the head. ’Big Play’ Jean has more than proved himself in his impressive start this 2012 pre-season. Despite a severe shoulder injury last season, Jean has come back stronger than ever. Pre-season highlights include Jean as the top receiver versus the Panthers August 11th with 50 yards, [...]
Let’s get one thing straight: this girl (with two thumbs and a sweet Southern smile) knows Texans football. And chances are if you are reading this, you know a thing or two as well. So let’s cut the bullshit instead of rehashing a play-by-play of two “just meh” preseason games, and enjoy a rousing game of “Would You Rather?” Now, hold up menses, don’t go AWOL on me just yet; [...]
Can I get an “amen!” for Duyen Doan, my pick for most stunning and affable Houston Texans cheerleader [HTC]. With a 4-year tenure to the HTC squad, the 21-year-old from Irving, Texas, is a dynamo in miniature. Although without a doubt one of Houston’s most eligible beauties, Duyen is humble, funny, and just the right amount of sweet. “Veteran” seems like such a strange term for someone so young, but [...]
