Death, taxes and a fun afternoon with Cal McNair on Reddit should be expected at this point.
The Houston Texans’ owner and CEO returned to the keyboards for a third straight year with another light-hearted event for fans during what appears to be an annual AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Monday.
McNair embraced being everyone’s favorite owner, handing out prizes, promoting future events and sharing details of the regular season ahead. Those prizes included a DeMeco Ryans autographed jersey, a replica gold chain worn from one of the events and even the ball he signed to promote the AMA.

McNair also announced the annual “Cal’s Cookout” would take place on Thursday after a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams, so be ready to enjoy burgers and hot dogs on hot Houston afternoon.
As for reveals, the Texans plan on wearing four uniform combinations throughout the regular season, including their new H-Town Blue uniforms, a nod to the fans and city. The NFL allows alternate uniforms to be worn three times in a 17-game period.
Houston will debut the H-Town Blue on Oct. 6 against the Buffalo Bills. The new Battle Red combo will be worn on Nov. 10 against the Detroit Lions. As for the third time?
“I would circle the Christmas Day game, too!” McNair wrote, meaning the Texans will likely wear the H-Town Blue or Battle Red.
Countless questions were asked, including Cal’s order at Whataburger and his go-to restaurant in the city. He said a No. 2 with cheese and wouldn’t reveal the location of his favorite hot spot since “everyone would go and I wouldn’t be able to get in.”

But the best question asked? A Reddit user pondered one that pinned Cal and his wife, Hannah, against the rest of the NFL.
“If you had to fight any of the other 31 majority owners in a bare knuckle boxing match, who would you choose? Why would it be Jim Irsay?”
Would Irsay be the correct answer? Hannah reignited the rivalry with AFC South foe Tennessee regarding the use of Oiler Blue as hommage to the Houston Oilers in the new uniforms, which was denied by Titans ownership, so maybe they become the betting favorites.
The McNairs ended the session before an answer could be revealed, so maybe check back in on that one come next offseason when the fingers are flying on the keyboards with more fun-filled takes.
