Houston’s City Controller Chris Hollins has launched a formal probe into top mayor’s advisor Chris Brown, who earned $127K but only entered City Hall 13 times in nearly 600 workdays. Hollins demands Brown’s suspension and vows to root out waste, while Mayor Whitmire defends him, citing his past success in managing city finances and passing the budget. The feud between the two officials continues, now amplified by Hollins’ separate investigation into a costly mayoral podcast, raising fresh ethics concerns and fueling political tension.

The Houston Texans are loaded up for 2025—offensive line upgrades, David Montgomery in the backfield, and key players locked in—but one big question remains: Will C.J. Stroud get his extension before training camp? With no deal signed yet and the QB coming off injury setbacks, the risk of a massive long-term contract looms. But with the salary cap rising and other QBs soon to hit extension deadlines, the Texans might be wise to act now—following their history of locking in core players early. A late-summer deal? Still very much possible.
