CJ Stroud @_MLFootball
Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud just bought himself a lot more points from the (many) football fans who loathe the Dallas Cowboys.
CJ Stroud won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2023 after leading the Houston Texans to 10 wins and a surprise AFC South division crown. They defeated the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card Round before falling to the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round.
And Stroud has earned more popularity league-wide by savagely roasting the most despised team in football. In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, Stroud caused an uproar of laughter by stating, “I don’t play for the weak a*s Cowboys).
DAMN… #Texans QB CJ STROUD SHREDS THE #COWBOYS.

Here’s the extra juicy part: CJ Stroud and his Texans will visit those very Dallas Cowboys on ESPN “Monday Night Football” in Week 11 on Nov. 18. That will be the last of three straight prime time games for the Texans, who have a Halloween Thursday nighter against the New York Jets and a Sunday nighter a week later against the Detroit Lions.

The Texans and Cowboys last met in 2022, with Dallas barely squeaking out a 27-23 victory at home against a Houston team that had one win at the time. The last three meetings have been decided by a single score.
CJ Stroud & Texans Open Season At Colts
CJ Stroud and the Texans will be challenged early when they visit the AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts to open their season on Sept. 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Houston narrowly outlasted Indianapolis in a win-or-go-home Week 18 showdown last year to secure a playoff berth. The Texans then claimed the AFC South when the Jacksonville Jaguars were stunned by the lowly Tennessee Titans.
Houston and Indianapolis split the two-game season series last year. Their season series will conclude in Week 8 on Oct. 27, when Anthony Richardson and the Colts meet the Texans at NRG Stadium.
CJ Stroud Throws Massive Shade At LeBron James While Comparing His Greatness With Aaron Rodgers And Tom Brady

CJ Stroud had a breakthrough season with his team, the Houston Texans last season. The young quarterback earned a lot of praise from the NFL fanatics and is most certainly one of the faces of the game in the future. Even LeBron James praised Stroud for his performances to lead the Texans to the playoffs. But Stroud does not have the same emotion for the NBA icon.
During a recent episode of “Million Dollaz Worth Of Game”, CJ Stroud and his co-hosts debated about Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers’ greatness. When Gillie Da King put forth his opinion on Aaron Rodgers, calling him “overhyped”, CJ protested. The NFL star gave examples of Allan Iverson, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash and Charles Barkley as the players who didn’t have a ring but are the legends of the game, drawing parallel with the Jets QB.
While LeBron is seen as a GOAT in the eyes of many, Stroud certainly doesn’t think that. According to him, a team wins a championship, not an individual, so leaving your team to win a championship seemed like a selfish choice from LeBron. The same is happening now as LeBron is chasing his 5th ring and is growing increasingly frustrated by the disappointments of the Lakers. Time is of the essence for him as he already went on record to say that his time on the court is limited.
LeBron James to Chase Championship Again?
With his uncertain future with the Lakers, many rumors are swirling around about LeBron’s next move. While many consider Bronny James’ draft to be a key motivator in LeBron’s decision, both could end up on the same team as well. Now, amid the swirling speculations, the Philadelphia Sixers have entered the conversation.
According to Keith Pompey, the Sixers are looking to bring in a max contract player from the pool of LeBron James, Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Brandon Ingram.

The Philly franchise has been desperate in their bid to claim a championship, but their failure is raising questions over the process of the organization. Adding someone like LeBron to the team alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey could help the team chase a championship. But the question still remains about LBJ as his future can only be clarified following the Paris Olympics.
