Best 4-3 line probably.

I have a feeling that pretty soon a different team will have the best line, at least that runs a 3-4 scheme.

Two fantastic edge rushers, but Powe keeps the Texans from being the best 3-4 team.

If anyone who's a fan of the league still thinks NFL teams didn't pass on Michael Sam because he's gay, they must be just ignorant or naive or something. Who was it, CBS Sports, who two days after he publicly came out, they dropped him in their pre-draft rankings from 90th to 160th or something. 70 spots in one weekend. That's before his bad combine performance. You think they did that on their own thinking, or was that influenced by what they were hearing around the league?

Will he make the Rams? Maybe not. But I'll be cheering for him. Unless he makes the team, and then I'll be cheering against him when he faces the 49ers twice a year. :D

I don't cheer for players based on there race or if there gay or not i cheer for players who i think are good and should be in the pros with that said i hope Sam does make the team not because he is gay but because he has skill and derserves a shot.

Louis Nix was widely regarded as the best NT prospect in the draft and they picked him up in the 3rd round... I wont go as far as to say theyve got the best line, theyve got a pretty impressive front 7...

Clowney-Cushing-Reed-Mercilus
Watt-Nix-_____

I really like what the Texans did to improve the team over the weekend, they added quite a few versatile pieces that allow other players to move and improve the team...

F1 sucks. I used to love this sport. I have been to 30 Grands Prix in my lifetime, watching since the Villeneuve days, Gilles that is, and now the cars sound like a joke and have taken away the excitement that one expects at a Formula One race.

It is amazing the technology and yes, F1 technology makes its way down to passenger cars. I get that. But they have completely forgotten the true petrol heads that love tha sounds of the cars. Now the sound like an extended fart.

I remember walking into the venues I have been and hearing the screams of these engines, the whoosh of these cars making a whole in the air, the braking, crackling sonic booms of downshifts, and foot to the floor engines wailing. Glorious Ferrari V12s, Mercedes V10s, and now, V6 turbos that sound like a family car.

Sorry for the rant, but for those who have never been to a race, you probably wouldn't understand. For those who have, you will! Watching on Tv and seeing these machines live, it is quite the spectacle.

One last big soccer match before the World Cup kicks off in just under three weeks.

No matter what happens tomorrow, there will be a party in Madrid.

All 3 Canadians failed to make the cut, Fritsch was 2 over, i'm sure his play was not helped by the fact that one of his playing partners was +27.
Adam Hadwin is top Canadian on Web Com tied for 12th and Brooke henderson tied for 50th on LPGA.
