Good news here. It's wonderful that the stadiums of UH, Rice, and the Texans are all close to one of the best medical centers in the world: houstonchronicle.com/sports/… via @houstonchron
When it filed for bankruptcy, LIV Golf estimated the value of its assets as between $100 million and $500 million. It's a safe bet that LIV's liquidation will generate a minuscule fraction of that estimate:

Here is a Reddit thread with student posts on the ongoing lockdown situation at The Woodlands High School: reddit.com/r/thewoodlands/co…
There is nothing quite like a defensive player, whose team is already trailing by double digits, celebrating a hard tackle after the receiver has made a big gain into the red zone.

Former Houston Cougars star Kingston Flemings had the best game of his rookie NBA season to date last night in Atlanta's loss to Miami: 23 pts (6/7 2p, 3/5 3p, 2/3 ft), 5 reb, 5 ast, 2 tov, 1 stl, 1 blk in 28 min.

The NBA's schedule is absurd. Tomorrow's game will be the Rockets' fifth game in eight days to start the season, three of which were on the road and two of those games were on consecutive days. It's as if the league is set up to injure players.
Didn’t see that coming… Şengün is out for the Rockets next game with lower back soreness.
They’ll be on the road against Milwaukee without Marcus Smart and their top 2 Centers.

Joe Sheehan on the Brewers' impending World Series championship:
"I’ll say it: This is over. There have been 117 best-of-seven World Series. Of those, one team has gone up 3-0 in 25 of them. Those teams are 21-4 in Game Four. Not one of those Series has gone to even a sixth game. I’m certainly not one to cite soft factors, but there does seem to be a bit of a letdown effect when a team gets this close to a championship and then falls down 3-0 right on the doorstep."

The Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron is odd. Today, it runs a piece on Harris County Judge candidate Letitia Plummer's chronic absenteeism as a Houston City Council member. But that lackluster performance doesn't even come close to her incompetence in the private sector, which the Chronicle has assiduously ignored — her string of failed businesses that lost Texas operating rights for failing to pay taxes, the failed charity she started that lost its tax-exempt status after the IRS revoked it, her dental practice that was sanctioned twice by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners for overcharging patients, and the suspension of her dental license for dishonorable conduct and for violating her duty of fair dealing. Yet the Chron endorsed Plummer for Harris County Judge over Orlando Sanchez, the experienced, smart, and competent GOP candidate with none of Plummer's baggage. It seems as if the Chronicle actually wants continued dysfunction in the office of the Harris County Judge.
When the litigation sabers start waving in Chapter 11 cases, it's usually a sign that the debtor realizes that lawsuits are the primary remaining assets of the estate and that liquidation is around the corner: open.substack.com/pub/thedai…

Day 3 of the Chronicle's @Houstonchron weekly cycle of reporting on the Houston Texans.
Today, the Chronicle @HoustonChron kicks off its annual weekly cycle of reporting on the Houston Texans. The cycle:
Gameday: The Texans are Super Bowl contenders!
Day 2 (after a loss): The Texans are terrible and their coaches are blithering idiots. How did it come to this?
Day 3: Well, the team the Texans lost to is actually pretty good. Plus, so-and-so on the Texans looked good in the loss.
Day 4: Despite the last game, the Texans' coaches really do know what they are doing.
Day 5: The Texans' players understand their mistakes from the previous game and won't make them again.
Day 6: The coaches and players on the Texans' upcoming opponent are wary of the Texans and their tremendous potential.
Day 7: The Texans look forward to getting back on track for the Super Bowl.
Gameday: Repeat

if you watched the NFL and thought something didn't feel right, you're not alone:
#1 most flags in over a decade
thru 4 weeks, refs are impacting the most CRITICAL moments of games most:
#1 most red zone penalties per game by offenses in history
#1 most penalties on 3rd/4th downs in the second half of games in history
and 17 touchdowns nullified by penalty! (vs only 5 in 2025 & 4 in 2024)
Refs are impacting the most important moments of games unlike we've ever seen before in the NFL, and even some of the coaches are speaking up

Kyle Smith @rkylesmith is absolutely right about this: "I’ve Had Enough of ‘Choosin’ Texas’": wsj.com/opinion/free-express… via @WSJFreeEx
The Houston Chronicle (@HoustonChron) endorses a candidate for Harris County Judge who is incapable of competently running a dental office over a highly competent, experienced, and moderate Republican.
