In this, their 80th anniversary season, the Washington Redskins are finally complete. At long last, they have a practice bubble. Doing without a practice bubble until 2012 is like traveling by train after the invention of the jet engine (though those parlor cars could be awfully comfy).
Wade Phillips is finally coming home.
Wade Phillips faces a challenge in fixing the Houston Texans' defense.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak has two Houston football icons in his corner as he faces his uncertain future.

Clad in a white Tony Romo jersey, Melissa Tellez was posing for a picture on the steps of the Texas Capitol when she was asked which NFL team is No. 1 in the Lone Star State.
After two weeks of training in cool Southern California, the Dallas Cowboys are headed back to Texas to find out whether it was time well spent.
"I don't think they could've picked a better guy," Bum Phillips said in a phone interview on Wednesday night. "And I don't think Wade could've picked a better job to come to. He's going to get to work with a guy who he knows and respects. That, to me, makes all the difference in the world. It's a great deal for Wade and a great deal for Houston."
After watching practice, the 87-year-old Phillips said the team seemed to still be focused and working hard.
