Does every NBA fanbase hate its general manager? Houston Rockets fans largely do. Rafael Stone is the devil incarnate. The root of all evil. The sole reason why the Rockets were not the 2025-26 NBA champions. This won’t be another full-fledged Stone defense piece. I will quickly note the cognitive dissonance between fans and peers […]
The Houston Astros broadcaster was primarily a knuckleballer over his nine seasons on the mound.
The Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC North division title last season thanks to a last-second missed field goal in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens, essentially backing into the postseason. Then, things didn’t go well in the postseason as the Steelers were blown out by the Texans in the Wild Card Round. But entering the […]

It’s summer break for the Texans…or at least the players. There are no scheduled team activities until rookies report for the start of training camp in late July.

The 2026 NBA Draft is nearing. The draft is on June 23rd and 24th — the literal definition of around the corner.

This marks the 4th straight start that Teng could not get past […]

The Houston Rockets once built an entire offensive system around the idea that the three-pointer was basketball’s great mathematical edge. By 2019, they were launching 45 shots in a game. By 2025, the Boston Celtics had made that look modest, shattering the NBA’s all-time record with over 1,400 made threes in a single season. Now, […] The post Reggie Miller Says Celtics Chasing Giannis Antetokounmpo Means Turning Their Back on Team Philosophy: “Have to Change” appeared first on EssentiallySp...

Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers picked up former Houston Texans tight end Luke Lachey on waivers when he became available. Upon reporting to Green Bay, though, the Packers failed Lachey’s physical, even though the Texans didn’t waive him with an injured designation.
