Since today is 311, let’s talk about lame ’90s bands. What’s the most embarrassing concert you went to in the ’90s? How about the most embarrassing album? The first album I ever bought (on cassette!) was CooleyHighHarmony by Boyz II Men.

“Excited for this next chapter, I promise it’ll be my best one yet,” new Texans receiver Christian Kirk sets high goals

Now that the Texans have traded for Christian Kirk to upgrade a receiving corps thin on health and proven talent except for Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins, the next steps are having the veteran wide receiver get acclimated to an overhauled offense.

Kirk issued a statement on social media saying goodbye to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who dumped his $15.5 million salary to an AFC South division competitor in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. And Kirk, coming off an injury-shortened season due to a broken collarbone, is setting high goals with his new NFL employer.

“My preparation for the upcoming season is already under way, and the only way from here is up. I’ll be back stronger than ever, and I’m excited for this next chapter with the Texans. I promise it’ll be my best one yet.”

Whew… thank goodness it’s the weekend.

I’m taking my wife to see Reba at the Rodeo today. She’s very excited.
