I’m still ill, and honestly this game didn’t help, so I’ll try to be brief. (Narrator: it was not brief.) The Rockets offense simply is not good enough for them to be considered a contender of any sort right now. Thanks for reading! Fine. First, let me give you a disclaimer. Sometimes teams go through […]

The Houston Texans handled business last weekend, dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round and setting up a road matchup against the New England Patriots this Sunday afternoon. C.J.

The Thunder come in having won four consecutive games, including finally getting by San Antonio in their last time out. The Rockets, on the other hand, just snapped a three-game losing streak with a 119-113 win over the Bulls in their last outing. Who will come out on top tonight in Houston? Let’s take a look at some ...
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 Zach Cole Cole was drafted by the Astros back in 2022. He got off to a slow start with some injuries but once he got hot he […]
While his departure from Buffalo a year earlier was messy, Stefon Diggs leaving the Houston Texans for the New England Patriots during the 2025 offseason was devoid of any drama. Leading into this week’s divisional playoff meeting between his current and former team, controversy is therefore not on the menu for Diggs. As he told […]
Even though it was tightly contested for much of the night, the New England Patriots’ wild card playoff contest against the Los Angeles Chargers was won with relative ease. The offense kept making enough plays to overcome its miscues, while their defense was lights-out and never allowed L.A. a chance to get back into the […]
This week’s slate of NFL playoff games will feature a familiar pairing. For the third time in the last 14 years, the New England Patriots will play hosts to the Houston Texans in the divisional round. The matchup is one the Patriots have some fond memories of. They won both of the previous meetings in […]
Earlier today, it was announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks had traded for Cardinals’ third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Cardinals are eating $31M of the $42M left on the remaining two years of Arenado’s deal. The Cardinals have been trying to unload Arenado for two offseasons. He famously rejected a deal to the Astros last year […]
The New England Patriots set sights on the AFC divisional round without two. Offensive tackles Morgan Moses and Thayer Munford Jr. stayed sidelined during Wednesday’s preparations for the Houston Texans due to knee ailments. But there were returnees in Foxborough. Running back Terrell Jennings, nose tackle Khyiris Tonga, cornerback Christian Gonzalez were all back on […]
On Tuesday, the Steelers announced that head coach Mike Tomlin was stepping away from coaching following a 10-7 season which saw the Steelers lose 30-6 in the AFC Wild Card to the Houston Texans and Tomlin reach 7 straight playoff losses tying the NFL record. The Steelers do retain the rights to Tomlin, making it […]
Darrell Taylor will go from the No. 5 seed to the No. 2 seed in the AFC.

Taylor, 28, cleared waivers and became a free agent the afternoon prior. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing significant uncertainty at both head coach and quarterback heading into the 2026 season. Following the Steelers’ Wild Card round loss to the Houston Texans, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was noncommittal about his playing future, saying he did not want to make “an emotional decision” regarding a potential return next season. That […]
Are you having fun? Good for you. I’m not having fun. I hate it here. (Not TheDreamShake. I love it here.) The Rockets just have not felt fun in 2025-26. Consider this a safe space for complaining. There should be no Wizards fans in our ranks to point out that it could be worse. Realistically, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season came to an end Monday night in a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the wild card round, marking the seventh consecutive playoff loss for Pittsburgh, and the fifth straight playoff loss by double digits. The game also ended what was a rough season for tight end Pat Freiermuth. The […]
The AFC divisional round’s connections do not end with executive vice president and general manager Nick Caserio. Nor do they end with a coaching staff featuring Nick Caley, Cole Popovich, Jerry Schuplinski and even Ben McDaniels. Not with the scouting, personnel and development likes of D.J. Debick, Steve Cargile, Shane Vereen and André Davis, either. […]
How many times are we going to have to sit through a Patrick Williams disasterclass? The Chicago Bulls just dropped a brutal one to the Houston Rockets last night — a game that was contested right down to the wire. Now they’re hopping on a plane back to Chicago to get ready for another matchup, this time against the Utah Jazz. I have absolutely no confidence in this being a “gimme,” but I do know one thing: it should be entertaining. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. A tough night ...
As the Arizona Cardinals continue to look for another new head coach, they are leaning into things a bit different this time, casting a wide net.
