At 63 years old, Lovie Smith wasn't sure he'd get another opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL. But thanks to the Houston Texans, Smith is back, and he said he has "unfinished business." "I think I'm just a football junkie at heart and I love the game,"...

INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio was open and honest about the status of safety Justin Reid entering the offseason. Much like the coaching staff, Caserio is all about continuity as the team enters Year 2 of its new regime.

Lovie Smith was promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach of the Houston Texans less than a month ago. It came as somewhat of a surprise, since the Texans announced they were interviewing three candidates for the job, and Smith wasn't one. We do know that Texans' players have embraced...
