Good looking out for the Texas flood victims Texans, Cowboys and the NFL.

It was proud day in Bessemer, Ala on Thursday when a street was named after one of its most famed natives. A street in the city was named after the Texans head coach and former Alabama and Texans star linebacker. Hundreds gathered for the rebranding of DeMeco Ryans Street.

It doesn't appear Houston is getting a WNBA team as soon as the city had hoped. And that's unfortunate because Houston supported the multiple -times WNBA champion Comets when they were here. But I am excited for Cleveland, my hometown. @defendernetwork.@HoustonComets.@WNBA

You can say a lot about Jerrod Johnson. He is the local Houston kid made good. But what he is best known now as the Texans QB coach, responsible for C.J. Stroud's continued growth and development. Big Job!.@defendernetwork.@JerrodJohnson1.@TexansSupporter.

Rockets actually made the biggest move of the off-season days before the trade for Kevin Durant when they extended head coach Ime Udoka. @Houstonfanpage3.@imeudoka.@kevindurant.@HoustonRockets.@TerranceHarris.

As thousands of people are demonstrating and protesting against Trump's immigration policies and ICE's treatment of immigrants, Black people have noticeably remained on the sidelines. The Defender Roundtable panel discusses why. @defendernetwork.

If the Rockets were looking to improve scoring then mission accomplished with Kevin Durant, but at 37 and a history of injuries did the Rockets give up too much in sending Jalen Green and the draft capital to Phoenix?.@defendernetwork.@Houstonfanpage3.

After weeks of speculation, the Rockets have pulled off a trade that lands Kevin Durant. According to ESPN, the Rockets are sending Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, their upcoming No.10 overall pick and five second rounders to Phoenix for the 15-time NBA All-Star. @defendernetwork.

Prairie View AD Anton Goff breaks down why it makes sense for PV and SWAC members to opt in to revenue sharing and all that comes with it including paying a share of the $2.8 billion House v NCAA settlement. @defendernetwork.@PVAMUPanthers.@theswac.@PVAMU.

In an unexpected move, Prairie View has announced that baseball coach Auntwan Riggins will not be returning after nine seasons as head coach. A source said AD Anton Goff wants to go in a new direction. @defendernetwork.@PVAMUPanthers.@PVAMU .@PVAMUBaseball .@theswac.

SWAC schools have opted-in to the House Settlement. The league also placed no scholarship caps on any sports. “This is undoubtedly a significant moment for the Southwestern Athletic Conference and our twelve member institutions,” said Commissioner Charles McClelland.

It's one thing to watch your father build a legacy, it's another to go to work with him every day and that's what Kellen and Lauren get to do at UH with their Dad, Kelvin Sampson. @defendernetwork.@UHCougars.@UHCougarMBK.@KellenSampso.@_laurensampson_.

While it's been expected for days, the Texans finally announced the signing of free agent running back Nick Chubb late Monday. Chubb, one of the most productive backs in the league, has spent his career with the Cleveland Browns. @defendernetwork .@TexansSupporter .@Browns.
