As one gets older and creates oneself a family, one realizes that certain things that were once important become less of a big deal, and other things that one previously took for granted become invaluable. The most valuable of these newly scarce resources is time. It seems that as I get older and gain responsibilities in both my job and my family, I've not had the time for some activities...

Wide receiver Andre Johnson won’t be a part of the Texans OTA’s and minicamp after he had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Johnson underwent the procedure two weeks ago and is focused on getting ready for the start of training camp, which for the Texans will be in late July. It’s been one injury [...]

Late last year, Andre Johnson supposedly hyperextended his left knee. Now word comes down that 'Dre had that knee scoped two weeks ago. He is not expected to be back before training camp, which means no 'Dre for OTAs or mini-camp. 'Dre says this is "nothing to panic about," and history says he may be on to something. It's worth noting that Johnson missed the final seven games of the...

With organized team activities for your Houston Texans officially beginning today, Gary Kubiak had some novel things to say within Dale Robertson's piece in today's Chronicle. The lockout last year meant no OTAs, which meant less official preparation and, lo and behold, the Texans had the best season in franchise history. That fact was not lost on Kubes: "It does make a coach stop and...

The following is, from start to finish, a work of complete fiction. Any resemblance to persons alive and/or dead are purely coincidental, so please don't sue me (because I own nothing of value); unless, of course, it's a reference to someone here on BRB, in which case REALLY don't sue me. Chapter One - It's Good To Be The QB Chapter Two - A Blogger Named Scott Brooks Chapter...

A couple weeks ago, DreKeem was nice enough to grace us with his presence with a music open thread . I thought I'd do something a little different, as well, with tonight's open thread. Now, don't let me stop you from celebrating Chelsea's win today (EnglishTexan, that's for you, brother) or the merits of turtle stacking. Yes, this is fully an open thread. But I thought tonight would be...

A few days ago, we had a post discussing SB Nation's role in the NFL Rookie Premiere . That partnership is already bearing fruit for BRB, thanks to SB Nation's ability to sit down and chat with DeVier Posey . The full interview will be up on SB Nation's YouTube channel later, but some selected quotes await you after the jump to whet your appetite. So sayeth DeVier... On Houston: ...

This is interesting , if only because I seem to recall Bob McNair and/or the organization pushing hard to be the featured team on "Hard Knocks" a couple of years ago. The Texans were passed over then, so it would seem they'd jump at the opportunity to be featured now, especially after the success they had last season. What changed? Could Wade Phillips, who has presided over the spectacle...

Jonathan Vilma Sues Roger Goodell For Defamation " Mr. Vilma, the state bar forbids me from promising you a big cash settlement. But just between you and me, I promise you a big cash settlement. " Seriously though, I'll be shocked if Vilma is successful in what seems at first glance to be a very ill-advised crusade.

Pro Football Talk reports that the Texans are the latest team to say “no” to HBO for the chance to be the team to be on “Hard Knocks” this August. According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans turned down an invitation to be on the show this year. As a team coming [...]

Yesterday , we talked running backs. Today, we talk offensive line. Since the 2011 season ended, there was not a position group that suffered more potentially impactful turnover than the offensive line. First, Eric Winston was cut . Then, Mike Brisiel left , signing a monster contract with the Raiders . This meant that your Houston Texans would have to replace the right side of their...

Daniel Jeremiah: Top Ten Players Under 25 How is J.J. Watt not at least mentioned in this article? Alternate commentary: Dwight Jones is furious he is not No. 1 on this list.

When last we discussed our feelings, the topic of conversation was quarterback . We now turn our attention to running back. As your Houston Texans have been fortunate to employ the best RB in the league for the last few years, they made the wise decision to ask Arian Foster to stick around . He said yes, and we all cried . Twas a beautiful moment. Behind Foster is one Ben Tate , who...

Today's article on James Casey in the Chronicle got me thinking, especially as I was reminded that Thor is entering the last year of his rookie contract. Will your Houston Texans re-sign him, or is he bound for greener pastures after this season? I don't think it's hyperbole to say that James Casey is the most versatile member of the Texans. He's a huge weapon in the passing game, and...

Hey guys – won’t it be great to tell your lady that you could have a chance to win a year’s supply of groceries? Our friends at Ball Park are running a Facebook contest, asking fans to share a photo or video showcasing a funny/crazy example of “something only a guy would do” to win [...]
