Latest blog entries from Houston teams across every league
Everyone loves a linear narrative. OK, fine – not everyone. If you’re some kind of wacky postmodernist, you prefer a strange metanarrative. You love yourself some Twin Peaks. Good for you. The rest of us love a linear narrative. We also love a linear NBA career. When a player becomes the player they were projected […]
Now the Falcons general manager search is really ramping up. On Wednesday, we learned that the Falcons put in for a flurry of interview requests with Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, Texans assistant GM James Liipfert, and 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams. They join Steelers assistant GM Andy Weidl, who […]
When the Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman, one of my early stupid jokes was this one: Been thinking a lot lately about how the Houston Astros were so unfairly treated during the 2017 sign-stealing scandal. I think any player who may or may not have been involved was actually a victim, and should now be celebrated as a hero. — Brett Taylor (@Brett_A_Taylor) January 11, 2026 Again, that was just a joke about Bregman signing with the Cubs, and us now loving him. Because fandom. ...
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Atlanta Falcons have submitted a general manager interview request for San Francisco 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams, who was a finalist for the Jacksonville and Miami general manager searches. The Falcons recently hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. Atlanta also requested Texans assistant general […]
It was a tale of two halves yet again for the San Antonio Spurs in their 111-106 loss to the Houston Rockets. The Spurs were red hot in the first half, scoring 70 points, but lost steam quickly in the second half as they finished the game shooting 39% from the field and 28% from […]
The final review of the 2025 season will be looking at each position in the Astros farm system. Next up is the outfield position. BEST OF THE BUNCH Alonzo Tredwell Tredwell was the Astros 2nd round pick back in the 2023 draft and he had a breakout season this year. The right-hander pitched across three […]
We looked at Astros hitter projections a couple of weeks ago and the natural follow up would be pitchers. However, I specifically waited on them because some projection systems had not released their projections yet. There are still some (like ZIPS) that are not universally available yet. However, there are now enough to get a […]
Tough losses necessitate tough questions. That’s exactly what I asked when I requested instant reactions and opinions on QB C.J. Stroud directly after Houston’s embarrassing loss to the Patriots in the Divisional Round. What are your instant reactions to the Pats beat down of the Texans? What’s the outlook for Stroud and what needs to […]
It started innocently enough. Landy Locker asked whether Nick Caley could grow as a play caller and whether he would get an opportunity to do that. DeMeco Ryans gave a seemingly innocuous response that is actually very telling. For much of the season, he gave full throated defenses of Caley as an offensive coordinator. In […]
How many times does a team need to learn the same lesson before it’s legitimately recitified? The San Antonio Spurs blew another double-digit lead on Tuesday night in a 111-106 loss to the Houston Rockets. This time, it was a 16-point lead that disappeared halfway through the fourth quarter after a big run from the […]
This might be the best Rockets win of the season. It’s certainly my favorite win. There’s been a lot of negativity around here (looks at self) regarding aspects of this year’s Rockets team, a good bit of it deserved. This is all positivity, though. That’s because this victory carried two great signs that we can […]
The San Antonio Spurs left Toyota Center Tuesday night with a familiar and frustrating feeling, undone once again by a late-game collapse in a 111–106 loss to the Houston Rockets that spoiled an otherwise encouraging road performance. For much of the evening, the Spurs were the sharper, more composed team. They opened the game with […]
The San Antonio Spurs’ tour into Houston was a failure because they got satisfied with their work late and lost interest in guarding the 3-point line. It was their second matchup of the season with the Rockets, and now they are even with two outings to go. The first quarter ended with a 39-28 lead, […]

With both sides featuring elite, unicorn-like stars in Victor Wembanyama and Kevin Dur...
A divisional matchup against an elite Texans defense was expected to be a slugfest for quarterback Drake Maye and the Patriots offense. In a snowy Gillette Stadium, Maye took his fair share of punches as he delivered his lowest EPA per drop back (-0.27) of the season and lost a pair of fumbles as ball […]
The New England Patriots’ divisional round win over the Houston Texans on Sunday was a slugfest in the truest of senses. Being played at a snowy Gillette Stadium, it pitted two impressive defensive units against one another in wet and cold conditions. As a consequence, more often than not, offense was lacking: of the combined […]
The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of the Divisional Round Weekend: Arguably the Worst 2nd Quarter for the Offense this Season: That 2nd Quarter […]
The New England Patriots’ divisional round playoff game against the Houston Texans was a tightly-contested battle, and it led to some casualties on both sides.
