On this day in 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, killing more than 2,300 Americans and prompting our country to enter World War II. It also resulted in a bad movie starring Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck.

Happy National Microwave Oven Day, everyone!

I won’t celebrate injuries, but it’s the Jags, so I don’t have to mourn them either. Let’s take this division.

We’re currently 12 games into the season, and Nico Collins has 991 yards and six touchdowns. He’s averaging 16.8 yards per reception, and he’s currently projected to finish the season with 1,440 receiving yards and nine touchdowns (although I’d wager he gets even more with Tank out now). Anyway, if that happened, he would have sixth best season by a Texans receiver ever…

#1 – Andre Johnson, 1598 yards, 4 TDs (2012)
#2 – Andre Johnson, 1575 yards, 8 TDs (2008)
#3 – DeAndre Hopkins, 1572 yards, 11 TDs (2018)
#4 – Andre Johnson, 1569 yards, 9 TDs (2009)
#5 – DeAndre Hopkins, 1521 yards, 11 TDs (2015)
#6 – Nico Collins, 1440 yards, 9 TDs (2023)

Discussion Question: Could the 2023 Texans’ draft class actually be our best draft class ever?

• 2003 – Andre Johnson, Domanick Davis
• 2006 – Mario Williams, DeMeco Ryans, Eric Winston, Owen Daniels
• 2009 – Brian Cushing, Connor Barwin, Glover Quin
• 2011 – J.J. Watt, Brooks Reed, T.J. “the Bengal Slayer” Yates
• 2017 – Deshaun Watson, Zach Cunningham, D’Onta Foreman
• 2022 – Derek Stingley, Jalen Pitre, John Metchie, Dameon Pierce
• 2023 – C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson, Tank Dell, Henry To’o To’o, Juice Scruggs

In 1783, exactly 240 years ago today, a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit New Jersey.

And as evidenced by both the Giants and the Jets, it’s still a disaster up there.

Apropos of nothing, last night I went down a rabbit-hole of research into British history during the so-called Dark Ages, including archeological excavations of Anglo-Saxon and Viking artifacts, and now I just wanna re-watch The Northman.
