HR 3 – Texans Growth, Brazil vs. Japan & Lopez's Old Takes

ITL reacts to ESPN's report that the Houston Texans are optimistic about the continued growth between C. J. Stroud and offensive coordinator Nick Caley. The guys discuss why that relationship could be the key to Houston's offensive ceiling, what progress they're expecting to see this season, and whether the Texans are poised to take a major step forward. Then it's Lunch-Time Confessions, where Lopez calls out Figgy for showing up in a Brazil jersey just one day after proudly wearing a Japan jersey, questioning whether Figgy has already abandoned his newly adopted World Cup team. The crew debates World Cup fandom, bandwagon behavior, and whether it's okay to support more than one country. The hour wraps with Reggie digging through the archives of John Lopez's old Houston Chronicle columns and challenging Lopez to guess what he wrote based only on reader reactions and clues, leading to plenty of laughs and forgotten hot takes.
