Today's starting lineup
It'll be protégé versus mentor when DeMeco Ryans is pitted against Robert Saleh, an old boss of his in Houston and New York, when the Texans and Jets clash Sunday in the Meadowlands. The Texans may be down a pair of starters after Dalton Schultz and George Fant didn't practice Thursday. The impasse between KHOU's parent company and AT&T is in its second week, meaning some Texans fans might not be able to watch Sunday's game. Here are some ways to watch amid the carriage dispute.
New Astros manager Joe Espada was big on attention to detail in his former role as bench coach. So he has a to-do list for his team when it comes to the fundamentals next season.
The Rockets are winless in eight road games this season. Their ninth try comes tonight at Denver, one of the toughest visiting venues in the NBA.
Things change quickly in college football these days. After saying he was "1,000% committed" to UH, receiver Matthew Golden plans to enter the transfer portal.
Two Texas high school powerhouses, North Shore and Austin Westlake, face off for a trip to the state championship this week. The programs share a lot of similarities.
Brittney Griner, the Houston native and WNBA star, is partnering with ESPN and Disney to tell her life story, including her confinement in Russia last year.
Stat of the day: 32.8. Opponents' 3-point percentage against the Rockets, the lowest in the NBA.
