Tackle-machine kicker Neil Rackers heads an all-NFL cast on Not Your OrdinarySports Show

Neil Rackers has shown he's not afraid of tackling anything — and it's made the Houston Texans' kicker into something of a YouTube star.

So it's not surprise that Rackers is one of the first Texans taking on the challenge of spending the full three hours plus in the studio for Houston right tackle Eric Winston's Not Your Ordinary Sports Show. Rackers is just crazy enough to think he can match Winston word for word.

Not that this week's show (which is designed to be watched online as companion viewing to the Monday Night Football game between San Diego and Jacksonville) will lack for any NFL opinions. For the first time in the short history of the signature show of Winston and his partners' online sports TV network, there will be an all-NFL player panel.

Javon Walker — a former NFL wide receiver — and Matt Murphy — an ex NFL tight end — complete the guest list.

The Houston Texans could soon be moving to northwest Harris County, not for games, but for everything else, including training camp, and taxpayers will be footing some of the bill.

On Thursday, Harris County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with the Houston Texans and the developer for a new facility that will be built.

The district will be named the "Toro District."

There are no details tied to the agenda item. Neither the Texans nor the commissioners has disclosed the total project's cost.

Judge Lina Hidalgo did tell ABC13 that the project will cost taxpayers $150 million, despite the county's budget deficit of more than $100 million. Hidalgo said that money won't fund the facility itself, but rather the new infrastructure needed for the area, as well as any public buildings that will need to be constructed.

Commissioners stated that some of the funds will come from the special tax district, which collects property taxes in the area for future projects.

The Texans said the project will cover 83 acres and include a 22-acre headquarters and training facility for the team. The Texans claim the district will generate $34 billion in long-term economic impact and create 17,000 jobs across the region.
