Good morning, everybody. It is day number 12 of team previews here on the podcast feed.

Today is Friday, August 2nd. Thank you very much for making me a part of your morning.

This morning we will be talking about the Houston Texans with Stephanie Stradley from the Houston Chronicle.

She's been covering the team for several seasons. Did this report live from Training Camp.

Got a lot of very good conversation about the Texans but i do have to

apologize a little bit in advance here for everybody listening a good chunk of the zoom call was

cut off or the audio was not usable and so i did my best to kind of recreate it with what i had

and piece it together so if you are listing this and find it a little less comprehensive than

some of the other previews have been i'm going to do my best to try get either Stephanie back or another reporter to help me out when covering the Texans. I will go a little bit more into detail with things. So again, if you find it a little bit lighter than some of the episodes, it's my fault just for not having a backup on the recording. Did my best to make

this as valuable as I can. I think there's some good notes in this still, especially towards the

end of the episode where she gets into talking about the stadium and some of the little things that

she's able to discuss with some of the changes that are unique to NRG coming up, at least for

the next two months anyway. So hopefully this is a good

episode still in line with all the other ones that you've been listening to. It was a very good start

for the NFL service last night. We released over 16 for the first half. Got that one over the

total with eight minutes to play in the second quarter. The full game nearly went over

in the first half. A very good start to things to come. There will be several releases expected in

the next three to four days in anticipation of NFL week one in the preseason. Already lines

becoming widely available. So those releases could start very quickly.

If you have not yet subscribed to the service and you'd like to do so,

there is the preseason and early season package available at a discounted price relative to the full season.

The full season, which includes now until the Super Bowl, is the lower cost per pick.
