  1. Keep in mind we don’t actually know they’re not listening to offers. They might leak that to put interested parties on notice that the price is a King’s ransom, and Watson’s agent, who’s been leaking more shit than a barrel shroud used as a toilet drain, might out that out there to continue to embarrass the Texans.
  2. Considering the package Watson will demand, there’s probably a time limit related to this happening before the draft. Texans need picks now, and other teams may pick a QB in the draft if they can’t get Watson, then, might not offer enough for him after the draft pick is made.
  3. Fuck yeah! And I just scored tickets to Saturday. Good day.
  4. The most consistent thing about this team is fucking up in the second half.
  5. Watson’s camp is using Adam Schefter as their outlet, go read what Schefter has had to say about this. I lay no blame at Watson’s feet but there’s no smear campaign.
  6. We should not guarantee anyone anything beyond three years for HC, assistants fewer. Unless it was Saban or Meyer, who guarantees success in return.
  7. Also - pretty pumped about Wentz to the Colts. He’s... not good.
  8. But that was O’Brien, and Easterby and Cal fired him? Not defending, just applying logic - seems like a disconnect there.
  9. I don’t blame him at all for bailing on Tom’s ship, and I wouldn’t blame him for wanting back in now.
  10. Urban taught Tom Herman the “hire your questionable friend” move, but he didn’t teach him the ole “terminate you’re friends if literally everyone hates them“ move.
  11. What I enjoy about Perroni’s comments is that if it’s “this guys an ag and anyone who disagrees can kiss my ass AND suck my dick!” then they’re in the hunt, but if it’s simply “still like”, they’re fucked.
  12. Yeah I’ll go Altuve also here - dude brought a title and is fabric of the town. Should be in.
  13. Logged into Amazon today to check Xbox Series X availability, like I do every day, and it said “$499.99 PRIME”. Mine arrives on Tuesday. Texted my buddy before I was even done checking out and he said the checkout had already gone to the dog-based error screen.
  14. If I have read the right stuff, there’s a big difference between the situations surrounding Remington and Colt over the past 12 months. When Remington went bankrupt in 2014 or whenever and sold to the PE group that just bankrupted them for the second go around, they were losing money on each round they made. Think about that. Crazy inefficiency. In their latest bankruptcy, it is my understanding that the PE group essentially sucked all the cash out of the business and made enough money in that way to declare the bankruptcy and sell at a practical loss, and still come out financially ahead. It is very possible that Colt has been operating under Remington’s original problematic circumstance. If you lose money on every item you sell, and the market picks up and you start selling a lot, it actually accelerates your loss in a market where you should be making a ton of money. No idea if that is the case but it does bottle the mind a little bit to think that they went broke in this market.
  15. ammoplanet.com has stock, just FYI. I bought 9 and 5.56 from them on Tuesday and it showed up today. Shit weather so haven’t tested it out yet but all appears good.
  16. Good for JJ. Hope he gets a ring. Good dude, can join Dre in the Hall of Fame in Texans gear.
  17. My time on the 40 Acres saw Texas/USC for it all, a Final Four, and two baseball national titles. Fuckin A
  18. Fine offensive quarter for sure, but return to much better D. Jimmy Buckets just willing them on at the end there. He’s impressive. Love the Heats unis and court.
  19. Was on the first train to leave the “Hire Urban” station and would’ve been pumped to hire him, but you do it knowing it comes with guaranteed headaches.
  20. Wow. Airball. My apathy has never been so high.
