If sports journalists won’t cover the hard-hitting topics in the game, then it’s up to the players to do it themselves.
This week in #BScarTV, the successor to the famous and beloved KJackTV, now seen in Denver markets, Houston Texans outside linebacker Brennan Scarlett asks his teammates whether or not it’s acceptable to silence the group chat on your phone.
“No, I can’t,” said safety Justin Reid. “That’s forbidden. Forbidden. Can’t be on do not disturb. It’s got to be active at all times.”
Defensive end J.J. Watt disagrees with his second-year teammate.
“When I’m in a group chat with my brothers and a couple of my buddies, they send 150 messages in a half-hour,” Watt explained. “I don’t need my phone to be vibrating 150 times in 30 minutes.”
The silencing of the group chat seemed to have another ally in second-year receiver Keke Coutee.
“No doubt. Both of my phones are on silent. Messages too,” Coutee said. “I just don’t like my phone ringing that much, the beeping. I’m going to read it, but I’m going to get back to everybody.”
If the Texans beat the Atlanta Falcons Sunday at NRG Stadium, everyone, pro-silence or anti-silence of the group chat, will want to hear the congratulations for delivering a win and getting Houston above .500 for the second time of the season.
