    I wanna say @BigOrange1 or maybe he was the one messaging her on IM

    Her AIM was linked to her public mail.utexas.edu address and a couple of us messaged her right after they got arrested and she was released. We were poking at her, and she actually engaged. She was spouting nonsense and inconsistent stories. She told one person that Cave was the real drug dealer and got killed by rivals. To someone else she said if her or Colton killed her, it was self defense. Then she went back to the generic story that they came home and found her dead in Colton’s bathroom.  She got pretty stabby when the posters messaging her started hammering her on dismembering the corpse rather than calling the police. I blocked her after about 20 minutes and deleted that burner AIM account.

  2. To some extent, all guys with NFL talent make business decisions. But Worthy seemed to be the most business decision guy I can recall in my 25+ years of following the Longhorns. Say what you will about Roy, but he was always first round talent but bled burnt orange and would put his body on the line to make tough catches, throw blocks, go after punt blocks. Worthy seemed more focused on the NIL bag every off season than improving or doing things to help the team, was “injured” a lot, disappeared frequently. He may have been protecting himself, but ironically probably cost himself from being a first round pick.

    Was just looking at that. After Charles Woodson in 1997, it's been pretty rough. Number of Pro Bowls in parentheses.

    • Maybe???: Newton (3 + 1 MVP)
    • Good-but-not-quite-Hall-worthy: Ricky (1), Palmer (3), Ingram (3)
    • Meh: Dayne, VY (2), Bradford, RGIII (1), Winston (1), Mariota, Mayfield
    • Terrible: Weinke, Leinart, Troy Smith, Tebow, Manziel
    • Non-existent: Crouch, White
    • Jury's still out: Henry (4), Jackson (3 + 1 MVP), Murray (2), Burrow (1), DeVonta Smith

    Cam's on the outside looking in, but I guess it's theoretically possible. Current trajectory looks promising for Henry and Jackson. Henry's likely done as part of the "best RB in the NFL" conversation, but if he squeaks out a couple more 1,000 yard seasons it's probably a done deal. Jackson's gotta stay healthy and a Super Bowl win wouldn't hurt. Interestingly, Henry and Jackson were drafted 45th and 32nd overall. A lot of the rest of these guys were high first rounders.

    To be fair, there was a big string of crap before Woodson as well. Heisman winners being bonafide NFL stars pretty much ended with the 80s.

    Are you high? Cam Newton is maybe and Ricky and Carson Palmer are close?

    I’d guess Joe Burrow is most likely, and he’d make that smaller #1 overall pick club too. Jackson depends on how far off his peak is and if his legs start breaking down.

    Too lazy to look up myself, but do any of the 10 have a Heisman, a Super Bowl ring, and an MVP?

    Paul Hornung was on the Packers Super Bowl I team.
    Staubach has 2 super bowls.
    Tony Dorsett has one (SB XII).
    Marcus Allen has one (SB XVIII). 
    Charles Woodson won with Packers (SB XLV)

    Any possible free agents the Texans would target? Or are we mainly focusing on the draft to upgrade?

    They have cap space (projected $74m), but  resigning their own free agents may gobble a lot of it. Schultz (~$11.5), Rankins (~$9.5), Singletary (~$5), Nelson (~$10), Noah Brown (~$5), Fairbairn (~$4.5) plus signing bonuses, per sportrac predictions.

    I think the Watson deal may kill the guaranteed money deals. 

    He legit may quiet quit and just take all that money in order to not play football. No team is going to want to take that risk again if Watson doesn't come back for week 1 next year. 

    Dude got paid $10.5m for 2021 and the $27m signing bonus on extension (that he never played under and was torn up with his new Cleveland contract) from Texans and $230m fully guaranteed from Browns. Dude banked $267.5m guaranteed 2021-2026 and has played 12 games during the first half of that span.

    I’ve seen a few instances of him mocked to the Texans. Name the last white cornerback to have a successful NFL career. It might be Jason Sehorn who retired  20 years ago.

    Probably true, but still racist. Yet it kept black QBs down for a long time and nobody thought McCaffrey would be MVP level for all these seasons as a white RB.

    I said three but maybe two? Shit optics if we pull the trigger too quickly 

    Winning erases shit optics pretty quick. “Doing the right thing” according to social media buys you about 10 minutes of good feels until the loses start piling up.

  8. If I was the Bears and got that offer, I wouldn’t be able to accept fast enough. If they like CW they could take him #1 and still have two top 10 (could trade down with one). Or if they don’t love CW, they could trade #1 down with the Pats, Giants, Vikings, or Broncos too. They have an opportunity to reload their organization with talent, and is Fields better or much better than Cousins, Mayfield, Russell Wilson, Mac Jones, Garoppolo, or anyone else they could sign off the street? I’d sign one of them, take #8 from the Falcons, and laugh. Probably why Kiper is full of shit.

    It took just 6 weeks for Sirianni to go from "intense" to "insufferable asshole."*

    * "insufferable asshole" is correct 

    They activated a curse when they let Dom the security meathead up on the sideline to taunt and scuffle with opposing players, and the team, coaches, and fans doubled down on their Dom love. Goodbye, dirtbags! At least the city saved $1m on Vaseline and  Crisco needed to grease up all the light poles.

  10. Most mock drafts have Worthy ranked behind Mitchell, Sweat, Murphy, and Sanders as NFL prospects, and I don’t disagree with it. They’ll all likely be gone before the Texans and Cowboys second picks unfortunately.

    Instead we chose to settle for someone who no other top program would have wanted. Hope CDC learns from this mistake going forward.

    Learn what lesson, not to listen to the media, social media, or do gooders? I am a casual, but my recollection of this board in March was 25% actually wanting to keep Terry, 50% didn’t but said you can’t not bring him back due to how we finished, and 25% said hell no. Similar split opinions on if Beard should’ve been fired vs. suspended. We “had to” fire Beard who was free to walk into Ole Miss with zero shit given by media about it, and we get stuck with Terry. Lose lose because we “did the right thing.”

  12. Aside from casuals on both coasts not knowing Houston has a professional football team, I would’ve thought the CJ/Demeco story playing against either MVP Lamar Jackson or defending champ KC/Mahomes/Taylor Swift would be more interesting and draw more eyes than GB@SF, TB/PHL@Detroit, and the possibility of PIT@BAL, yet the Texans landed the worst of the 4 time slots.

  13. I went back and looked at playoff game times to confirm being shit on by NFL. 

    The Texans have made the playoffs 7 times in 22 seasons, hosted the wildcard game each time, and won 5 (71.4%, surprisingly good). They are 0-4 in divisional round games. 100% of wildcard games and 8 of 12 total playoff games (67%) have been in the Saturday afternoon slot. They have never been the Sunday primetime game. (Bold=shitty Saturday afternoon game)

    2011 - wildcard vs. CIN
    2011 - divisional @ BAL (Sunday @ 12pm)
    2012 - wildcard vs. CIN
    2012 - divisional @ NE (Sunday @ 3:30)
    2015 - wildcard vs. KC
    2016 - wildcard vs. OAK
    2016 - divisional @ NE (Saturday @ 7:15)
    2018 - wildcard vs. IND 
    2019 - wildcard vs. BUF
    2019 - divisional @ KC (Sunday @ 3:00)
    2023 - wildcard vs. CLE 
    2023 - divisional @ BAL/KC

    So it can max out at 20 if the Rams and Steelers both win.

    Bills and Eagles have a weaker SOS than Browns and same record (11-6), so if either lose this weekend, they would pick in front of Cleveland. So it’s just a matter of which two teams pick before and after the Browns pick and doesn’t change its position regardless of who wins those games. 
     

    Detroit had 12 wins, so if they lose tonight they are behind Cleveland’s pick, which will improve to #22.
