Ward vs Stroud: "Somebody's O Must Go" - Why the Titans/Texans Rivalry Is All Fizzle/No Sizzle

In this episode of Bullseye View, host Keith sits down with legendary sports writer and documentary filmmaker John McClain, formerly of The Houston Chronicle. Nearly 30 years after the Oilers departed the Astrodome, John continues his strong ties to Nashville as a weekly contributor on Nashville Sports Radio, bringing decades of unparalleled insider knowledge to the table. John and Keith dig deep into the rich history of the franchise, revisiting the iconic "Luv Ya Blue" era of the 1970s under hall-of-fame-caliber leadership from Bum Phillips. They examine how that golden era built the foundation for football in Houston and Tennessee, the longstanding obsession over Columbia Blue, and the intense dynamic between franchise owners Amy Adams Strunk and Hannah McNair. Turning their attention to present-day NFL action, they break down why the Titans/Texans rivalry should be one of the fiercest in sports. Plus, John delivers a preview of what to expect from C.J. Stroud, quarterback Cam Ward, and a struggling Texans defense as both 0-4 squads face off in a high-stakes showdown John dubs "The Loser Bowl"—where somebody's zero has to go!
