TEXANS ROUNDTABLE
Bill O'Brien spoke at the Texans Kickoff Luncheon on Tuesday saying that he loves the Astros and Rockets, but Houston is all about their football team.
This statement caused a large laugh from the audience which was full of mostly die-hard Texans fans.
ESPN 97.5's John Granato, Lance Zierlein, and Raheel Ramzanali weigh in on the reaction from the audience, and discuss what they believe the audience found so funny.
With the MLB trade deadline just hours away, the Astros have made a deal with the Orioles to bolster the infield.
Per multiple reports, the Astros are trading for Orioles' Gold Glove (2022) infielder Ramón Urías.
