Texans wide receiver Chris Conley has launched a new YouTube miniseries, The Conman Cravings, in which he explores the community and culture of Houston through its food.
"Hello Houston!" he writes in the description of his first episode, which premiered Wednesday on his YouTube channel. "Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I couldn't think of a better way to get to know the Houston culture and community than visiting some of the most iconic eateries around the area."
The first episode takes place at Coltivare in the Heights, where chef/owner Ryan Pera opened the restaurant early to give Conley a tour of Coltivare's famed garden, kitchen and signature dishes.
Conley, an avid streamer and aspiring filmmaker, teased the series in a trailer on Aug. 22 that he first previewed on Twitch. Upcoming videos will be released on YouTube every Wednesday at 12 p.m. CST for the next four weeks.
The Conman Cravings Episodes:
1) Coltivare (Sept. 8)
2) Burns Original BBQ (Sept. 15)
3) The Breakfast Klub (Sept. 22)
4) Irma's Original (Sept. 29)
5) Sticky's Chicken (Oct. 6)
For the Houston Rockets, it's already been an exciting offseason, with the team trading for NBA superstar Kevin Durant earlier this week. The Rockets also inked extensions with big man Steven Adams and head coach Ime Udoka in recent weeks.
Apparently the action isn't slowing down as the Rockets have reportedly agreed to a contract extension with guard Fred VanVleet.
Senior ESPN NBA analyst Sham Charania is reporting that VanVleet intends to sign a 2-year, $50 million contract with Houston.

Charania is also reporting that VanVleet has a player option for the 2026-2027 season.
In 60 games, VanVleet averaged just over 14 points and 5.6 assists per game last season.
This is a team-friendly deal for the Rockets that gets them below the luxury tax line, helping them avoid the repeater tax. It also opens up the full $14.1 million mid-level exception to add more talent to the roster. For VanVleet, it's more total money and an extra year of security.
