Funniest Memes After the Texans and Bill O'Brien Got Fleeced in DeAndre Hopkins Trade With Cardinals
By Thomas Carannante
Football fans forgot about the coronavirus pandemic for at least a moment when Houston Texans head coach and alleged de facto general manager Bill O'Brien decided to trade star wideout DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday.
Usually, when you have the opportunity to trade your best player for an oft-injured, one-hit wonder running back, you do it, right? We sincerely hope Mr. O'Brien doesn't have a Twitter account, because he's getting absolutely cooked at the moment.
Bill O’Brien: let’s trade away all our best players for sub par players! This’ll open our cap space!!

Dammit, not again, Bill! First, Duane Brown. Then, Jadeveon Clowney... and now this?! The whole "work from home" thing is just not working for ol' Billy.
Bill O'Brien's work from home stint off to a bad start.

Can you believe THIS is how so many people learned of the news?

Seriously, first the news broke about the Texans acquiring David Johnson, and THEN we learned about Hopkins being in the deal. Who DIDN'T react like that?!

Poor Deshaun Watson. He'll be throwing to a broken Will Fuller and a mediocre Kenny Stills next season. Best of luck!
We can only imagine his reaction when he speaks to Bill...

Stay safe during the quarantine, folks. We all know our brains can start to eat us alive.
Traps you can fall into when working from home:

* Eating lunch at 11 am.
* Never changing out of your joggers.
* Lack of human interaction.
* Trading DeAndre Hopkins.
Seems it just happened to O'Brien much faster than we could have ever imagined.
