Indy Colts Shock Houston Texans, Win 19 To 16
2011-12-23 18:34:00 The Indianapolis Colts shocked Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Field Thursday 19 to 16, and moved their record to 2-13. And they did it with just enough defense (the Texans were held to under 300 yards, with 283), just enough offense, (Quarterback Dan Orlovsky, replacing the injured Peyton Manning, threw for 244 yards), and timely (Read More...)
NFL Week 14 Preview: Houston Texans @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3)
2011-12-09 07:00:00 Sports Betting Overview The price per head sports experts started counting the Houston Texans out of the playoff race once starting quarterback Matt Schaub went down for the season. But the fans were still holding on to hope that backup Matt Leinart had those special qualities that head coach Gary Kubiak said Leinart had to be a leader and a quarterback. Leinart was also looking forward to the chance to prove to the Arizona Cardinals, and the rest of the league, the he could play quarterback in the NFL. Part of the way through his first regular season game in over two years, Leinart broke his collarbone and rookie third-string quarterback TJ Yates was in. Yates is 2-0 as an NFL quarterback and 1-0 as a starter. Maybe the Texans know something that the betting experts don?t know. No matter how many wins the Cincinnati Bengals get this season, the team will never get respect until it beats the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cincinnati Bengals will also never win th...

Lisfranc Injury, Matt Schaub Out, Leinart In For Texans

NFL 2011 Preseason Week 4 Preview: Houston Texans @ Minnesota Vikings
2011-09-01 06:13:00 Online Betting Overview It is déjà vu all over again for the Houston Texans as many football experts are picking this to be the year that the Texans replace the Indianapolis Colts as the top team in the AFC South. Many of the same experts said the same thing last year and the Texans did not make the playoffs. The Colts are an easy target right now. They just lost pro bowl cornerback Bob Sanders to the Chargers and starting quarterback Peyton Manning may not be able to play in the first week or two of the regular season. But the Texans have a lot of areas to address before it can sit atop the AFC South and call itself a division champion. There are reasons why Houston missed the playoffs last year. Some of those reasons are being addressed in this preseason, but others are being glossed over. The Minnesota Vikings are probably Donovan McNabb?s last chance at being a starting quarterback in the NFL. His reputation took a beating in Washington when head coach Mike Shanahan continuall...

What Texans Do For Fun in Spring
2008-03-22 05:11:00 There were a lot of "supposed to"s this week that didn't happen. We had three days of Spring Break visiting with friends, a few doctor appointments, some sinus issues - and LOTS of allergy medication (hello Spring!). Today was no different. We were "supposed to" do some school like we did yesterday; however, the sunshine, pollen, sinus medicine, Easter Egg Hunt, and birthday party kept schoolwork at bay.It was a "Good Friday", though. You can't beat 70's in late March here in Texas. We cowpoke can hardly focus on work when the weather is so fair. So what does a good Texan do when the weather is good and we've got some time to spare between lunch at Chipotle and cake at the park?Feed longhorns, that's what!And so we did.

2008-02-14 07:02:00 Another intrusive government attempt to legislate "decency" was shot down in Texas today.From the Austin American StatesmanCourt strikes down Texas ban on sex toysA federal appeals court has struck down a Texas law that makes it a crime to promote or sell sex toys. "Whatever one might think or believe about the use of these devices," said an opinion written by Justice Thomas M. Reavley of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, "government interference with their personal and private use violates the Constitution." Under Texas law it is illegal to sell, advertise, give or lend obscene devices, defined as a device used primarily for sexual stimulation. Anyone in possession of six or more sexual devices is considered to be promoting them. The Texas law dates back to the 1970s and is seldom enforced. Travis County prosecutors say that they haven't charged anyone with a sexual device-related crime in at least the past seven years, and ...

2007-12-30 18:16:00 Normally, this doesn't merit it's own post, but it's a pretty amusing report. Jaguars Inactives: Fred Taylor, Maurice Jones-Drew, Daryl Smith, Mike Peterson, Tony Pashos, Dennis Northcutt, Paul Spicer, Rashean Mathis. Check out what Vic says: "Quinn Gray will start at QB. LaBrandon Toefield starts at running back. Matt Jones and Chad Owens will share time returning punts. Richard Collier starts at right tackle, Dennis Norman at center, Reggie Williams starts at WR in place of Northcutt. Reggie Hayward starts at DE for Spicer, Brian Iwuh at LB for Daryl Smith and Aaron Glenn at CB for Mathis." Matt Jones returning punts, I look forward to seeing that. Toefield finally gets some action, and Chad Owens comes in. Chad is activated because John Broussard was put on Injured Reserve. I was hoping Broussard would be ready for some playoff action, but Chad Owens is capable enough to be an extra WR. Houston Inactives: Matt Schaub (third QB),Jamar Fletcher, Kasey Studdard,...
