Laurie Schaub Hot Chick of the Morning (Pics)
Well, this is a bonus hot chick of the morning. Earlier we did Aaron Rodgers girlfriend Destiny Newton, now we have Laurie Schaub, the wife of Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub. We are trying to knock out all of the WAGS of the quarterbacks that got knocked out of the playoffs this weekend. I couldn't find many pics of Ashley Manning to make a post, so check her out on google...
Houston Texans: The Schaub Conundrum
After another game in Foxboro, which pretty much had the same outcome, the Houston Texans are headed home in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. I’ve said time and time again that if you don’t get at least one step further than the year prior, the season was a disappointment.
I realize it’s rough to call a team that was 11-1 just under a couple...
Houston Texans Sticking with Quarterback Matt Schaub
Many have questioned whether or not the Houston Texans
should continue to commit to Matt Schaub as their starting quarterback. Coach
Gary Kubiak did just that yesterday, telling reporters, including Tania Ganguli
of The Houston Chronicle, that Schaub is the quarterback of the Texans, and
that he has no doubts in his signal caller.
"I believe in Matt. He's the quarterback...
Houston Texans: We Have A Problem, But It’s Not QB Matt Schaub
From Paul Gallant of Houston’s SportsRadio 610 to CBS Sports.com’s Mike Freeman (who calls the team “frauds”), many are taking shots at the Houston Texans following Sunday’s 41-28 loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the 2013 NFL playoffs.
It was a disappointing end to what was seen as a Super Bowl-or-bust year before the season. And for at...

Gary Kubiak Thinks Matt Schaub Is a Top Quarterback in Football Despite Loss to Patriots
Matt Schaub may have thrown for 343 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the Patriots, but if you’re accepting those stats at face value, you likely weren’t watching the divisional round game.
Schaub struggled early against New England, which is part of the reason why the Patriots were able to jump out to a 31-13 lead before the Texans scurried to score some points in the...
Potential 2013 Houston Texans roster changes
The 2012 season is over for the Houston Texans, and now we look onto the potential 2013 Houston Texans roster changes. The Texans will be tipping their ten gallon hats to potentially 17 players this offseason. The first person to mention who may be gone in 2013 and the most important is outside linebacker Connor Barwin. Barwin’s numbers are slightly down from 2011, but he has been...
Kubiak backs Schaub as Texans' 2013 QB
Because he's the quarterback, Matt Schaub is being targeted for most of the criticism by fans and media over the Houston Texans losing 41-28 to the New England Patriots on Saturday and exiting in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. No matter how much fans and media howl for a new quarterback, it's not going to happen. And it has nothing to...

Ring Envy: What Texans fans said - 1/14/13
A great win by the Patriots as they advance to the AFC Championship game. The Texans fans were obviously really disappointed. While they felt they got some unfair calls by the refs, they mostly blamed Matt Schaub. Having an average quarterback must be a tough go in the NFL, it's something Patriots fans should not take for granted with Tom Brady in New England. Anyway, enjoy the...
Houston Texans at New England Patriots: Three Bold Predictions
The buildup for the AFC Divisional round matchup between the No. 2 seed New England Patriots and visiting Houston Texans sounds a lot like that of late 1980’s Mike Tyson fight.Of the four playoff games on tap this weekend, the Texans are being given the least chance of pulling off the upset. There is very good reason for this, starting with the 42-12 shellacking they were subjected...
Texans-Patriots Live Blog, Second Half
Action started with a Danieal Manning 94-yard opening kick return to set Houston set in the New England red zone. Matt Schaub could do nothing with the opportunity save overthrow Andre Johnson by about 10 feet. The Texans took their field goal then went about the usual business of underwhelming everybody.
Danny Woodhead and Gronk left the game early with injuries. For Pats fans,...
2012 Divisional Weekend Picks
The AFC games are obvious this weekend. Seeing as I’m about 99.87% sure the Broncos are headed to the Super Bowl (kick-ass defense and a reinvigorated Peyton Manning, anyone?), I think *this* will be the last game of Ray Lewis’s career. And while the Texans are solid on D, too, I don’t think they’re solid enough to overcome the Tom Brady-bot at home, particularly since...
