    Texans 29, Colts 17

    Hilarious cartoon scoreboard J.J. Watt adds to Andrew Luck's woes

    When you wreak as much havoc on opposing offenses as J.J. Watt does, you deserve your own computer animation.

    Watt now has one — thanks to the game operations team at Reliant Stadium. The cartoon Watt now pops up on the stadium scoreboards after particularly big plays from No. 99.

    And, it's almost as entertaining as the real thing. Albeit in a more hilarious way. The scoreboard Watt is a glorified version of a stick figure, but when he pops up, he swats down a pass, delivers Watt's signature salute and raises his arms to pump up the crowd in the most awkward way possible.

    Animation Watt had a lot to live up to in Sunday's 29-17 win against the Indianapolis Colts. On the day the Texans won their second straight AFC South title, Watt spent so much time in the Colts backfield that Andrew Luck should have been charging him rent.

    A computer can't replace this man.

    The scoreboard Watt is a glorified version of a stick figure, but when he pops up, he swats down a pass, delivers Watt's signature salute and raises his arms to pump up the crowd.

    The real thing racked up two sacks, forced a fumble at the goal line to rob Indianapolis of a scoring chance and dropped another Colts running back in the backfield for another loss. And that's just in the first half.

    When the Colts pulled within 23-17, Watt burst into their backfield again early in the fourth quarter to drop Vick Ballard for a five-yard loss to force a third-and-long. He'd add his third sack of the game in the fourth quarter.

    After Watt dragged Luck down on a throw he did manage to fling away in the first half, the rookie quarterback turned to the sideline and screamed. Perhaps, Luck was wondering what the heck coach Bruce Arians' contain Watt plan was.

    The quarterback would have much preferred to see the computer animated Watt.

    Six days after putting pressure on Tom Brady without walking away with any stats to show for it, the second-year player dominated the stat sheet — and, more importantly, the game — against the Colts.

    Congratulations!

    Astros fan favorite Jeremy Peña gets engaged to soccer star Julia Grosso

    An Astros fan favorite is officially off the market. Shortstop Jeremy Peña is now engaged to professional soccer player Julia Grosso.

    The couple, who have been social media official since last December, announced the happy news this Friday, December 12 with a post on Instagram.

    Peña is coming off an impressive 2025 season that cemented his status as the Astros’ best position player, hitting .304 with 17 home runs and 20 stolen bases — enough to rank as eighth most valuable position player in the American League. That enhances an already impressive resume that includes being named the MVP of the 2022 World Series as the Astros won their second title.

    Grosso is just as accomplished as her fiancee. Currently a member of the NWSL's Chicago Red Stars, she won a gold medal with the 2020 Canadian national team.

    No word on a wedding date or venue, yet. Although Peña reportedly turned down a $105 million contract extension last season, he’s still going to earn $9 million in 2026, so it should be a party to remember.
