1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Lunchtimers. This is the Matt Thomas Show, ten oh two

2
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:12,279
nh Town. Good morning, and welcome to the Matt Thomas

3
00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:17,120
Show with Ross. This is weird for us too, so

4
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:22,160
just help us navigate these waters. To my right is

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,559
Ross Villaryale. I'm Matt Thomas, and it's great to have

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,879
you with us. Hey, Matt, you're saying, well, what's happening lunchtimers, Well,

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,559
that will be still a part of the show. Will

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,759
not be until noon. We'll do that because nobody has

9
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,560
lunch at ten o'clock in the morning unless you're seventy

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,280
three years old. And brunch. Nobody has brunch in the

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,679
middle of the week unless you were making high seven figures.

12
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:45,039
Sure an alcoholic, that's true. Here you go. I could

13
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:48,320
go for a mimosa right now. Oh my gosh. Uh,

14
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,600
we are here, and to be brutally honest, we did

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,200
not expect to be here twenty four hours ago. And

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,799
we'll just get this out of the way. We'll mention

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,159
a times in the course of the show. Obviously, our

18
00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:08,560
parent company had a reduction in workforce yesterday and unfortunately

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,319
lost a member of our our team, and I do

20
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:12,680
call him a team. We are a team. Stay North

21
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:14,480
Flat no longer with us, so we will inherit his

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,799
show spot, and we will take this program until two o'clock,

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,760
So we'll be on for four hours every day between

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,640
ten and two, and it'll still be much of the

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,879
same high jinks, much as a chagrin of some people

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,599
on Twitter. Coffee, probably more coffee. I don't know what

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,840
I'm gonna have lunch, because Ross and I do believe

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,040
you should never eat while you're on the air, and

29
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:38,920
it's impossible to eat during commercial breaks because it's unhealthy.

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,239
You can't digest and it causes on air. Yeah, you

31
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,560
don't want that, but we are going to misstand. It

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,760
was a tremendous pleasure working with him. We gave each

33
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:54,680
other lots of good natured ribbing. I mean lots, and

34
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,480
I probably did more to him than he did to me,

35
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,439
but it was all in good fun. I really enjoyed

36
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,560
working with him. We broke bread on many occasions. I

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,439
think he took half the tickets on my Rockets games

38
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:07,280
last year, and he's always welcome to have my Rockets

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,039
tickets again. But unfortunately our parent company did this nationwide.

40
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,919
It wasn't just Houston. It was major markets all throughout

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,560
the country, and sadly there was that to be a change.

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,479
So we're all having to kind of step up a

43
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:23,479
little bit and move time slots and at hours of

44
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:25,520
the show. So if you love us, you get an

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,719
extra hour. If you hate us, well we're gonna give

46
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,319
you an opportunity to relove us again. I like that,

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,879
Matt very well put. Now, there were some people that

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,520
and it's funny because Stan put a tweet out yesterday

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,719
and I retweeted it and put my own personal comments

50
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,960
on it, and it's you know, people were very sad

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,319
when hosts leave and you develop a personal relationship with people,

52
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,199
and then it also gives you an opportunity to take

53
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,199
shots at other people on the station. And there were

54
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:52,680
a couple of people in particular what it did so

55
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:56,120
and I didn't appreciate that, but everybody's got That's what

56
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:57,840
Twitter does, is it gives you a chance to take

57
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:01,080
cheap shots at people. And I took him on me

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,759
and I'm a big boy. I can grow up, but

59
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,159
I mean I'm not gonna just sit there and just

60
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:08,400
take it. So to Kirk out there, you can go

61
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:11,360
to hell. The rest of you. What I don't know,

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,719
you're just so funny. Well, well, anyways, anyways, we're gonna

63
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:20,039
miss Dan. Yes. Fortunately, I have been very lucky to

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,599
be in this business a long period of time. I

65
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:23,360
know a lot of people around this country, and I'm

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,199
going to do whatever I can do personally to get

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,400
stand back on the air, whether it's here or somewhere else.

68
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:32,479
So we will miss him, and again good nature rivving

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,960
between the two of us, and we had a lot

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,840
of fun Franklin Moore off air that we did on

71
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:37,960
and he will be missed. But we're gonna go on.

72
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,639
The show's gonna go on. Our lineup is now six

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,719
to ten with Sean. I'll be on with Ross from

74
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,800
ten o'clock until two. We're gonna keep many of the

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,560
same elements. We're gonna shift a few things around. Like

76
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,360
I said, you can't wake up the light. You can't

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,280
say good morning or what's happening lunchtimers at ten o'clock?

78
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Can you say good night? Strippers? Well, ten am a

79
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,680
little too late. The strippers are gonna stay at Fridays

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,000
at noon, how because there's no way they're getting up

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,919
a ten o'clock on a Friday morning. Oh Okay, you're

82
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:07,840
gonna keep it to noon. Yeah. You know, originally it

83
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,319
was two o'clock when we were on two to four. Yeah, yeah,

84
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,199
and that was the perfect time for good Morning Strip.

85
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:15,560
It was because the two o'clock is their willhouse, so

86
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,360
we will visit with them on Friday still at noon. Okay,

87
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
we'll solve all of our main features with shut your ball,

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,439
mass up and gut feelings. To tell the truth, we're

89
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,319
gonna gut Feelings today at eleven o'clock. And again we

90
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:29,519
don't I mean, this is brutally honest, and we're not

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,680
gonna spend a lot of time on this. We didn't

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,000
know about this until three thirty yesterday afternoon, so we're

93
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:37,199
kind of massaging what we're doing, so you're gonna hear

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,600
some weird liners and stuff like that. We're gonna ultimately

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,399
fix everything. It's just not gonna be done overnight. Yeah.

96
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,680
I would just say, I'm with you. My head is spinning.

97
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,199
And we didn't know about this. It's an unfortunate part

98
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:50,800
of this media business that we have chosen to be in.

99
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:53,720
I mean, look at any national media company. There's been

100
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,800
layoffs all over the place, and unfortunately iHeartMedia hit by

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,000
those and I'm very sad to see Stan Northfleet ghosts unexpected.

102
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,920
And I'm saddened and well also tired, Matt. But we're

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,000
gonna make it look we have the greatest jobs on earth.

104
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,079
A little bit of the sleep deprivation last night, because

105
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,360
it didn't you know, I was obviously concerned about Stan

106
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,959
and where he's gonna do with his career. And and

107
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:20,680
then a Rockets the game last night, you know, started

108
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:24,720
thirty five minutes later than it normally does. Nice Rockets win. Yes,

109
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,199
and we'll play little musical montage later in the show

110
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:29,399
to on or some of those highlights. Let's go and

111
00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:31,319
we'll be And I was concerned it wasn't gonna be mentioned.

112
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,240
Jalen Green high it's to the fourth quarter. Last night

113
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:35,800
he had a couple of clutch ones. So overall stat

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,160
line doesn't look great, but two freight from three yuck,

115
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
but two clutch ones in the fourth quarter. Thanks, all right,

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,639
So gut Feelings today, and if those of you that

117
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,360
are new to attend the noon So Gut Feelings is

118
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,160
a Scott segment we do every Tuesday. Were you just

119
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,800
calling him make sports predictions? Now? You could certainly make

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,560
a political prediction if you wanted to, But we don't

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,000
talk politics in the show, so I'll let Michael Berry

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,959
handle that part of it. I was going to ask

123
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,399
if you actually did what We're going to make a

124
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:01,800
gut feeling on what happens. And this is and again

125
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,959
for those of you who listen the show, we don't

126
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:04,519
ever talk politics. But I will say this with it

127
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,399
being an election day, huh, I really don't know. I'm fascinating,

128
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,279
You're not fascinating. I'm fascinated by the media coverage of

129
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:16,519
it circus it is. But and I'll be honest, I

130
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,199
have serious XM in my car, and I do have Fox,

131
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:24,519
CNN and MSNBC bam, bam bam. So the three channels

132
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:27,079
that I move my presets past, my music and of

133
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,000
course seven ninety are those channels. And I was just

134
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,959
flipping literally every five minutes coming into work today, and

135
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,560
everybody sees things completely differently on One network has it

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,399
one way, one network has another way, and one it's

137
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,120
I don't even know if when I was a younger

138
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,680
man going into college that I would have been able

139
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,680
to figure out the twenty five thirty years later, we

140
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,360
would have broadcast networks that can claim their journalism that

141
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:01,040
are so dimetrically opposite of each other. Like when I

142
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:05,000
was growing up, CNN was news polarizing, Yes it was.

143
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,920
Here's what's going on, Yes, here's the weather, here's the sports,

144
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:13,399
here's the uh going on? Here's the race? A race

145
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,879
b I mean, but it's it's not that anymore. So again,

146
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,319
I'm a consumer, not an enthusiast, but I'm a media

147
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,279
consumer of this stuff, and so today to me, to

148
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,680
me is fascinating. I will not be watching the election

149
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:26,959
returns until very late because my daughter's got a playof

150
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480
volleyball game and so that kind of helps that a

151
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,439
little bit. Yeah, I'm running away as far as possible.

152
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:34,959
Our game, No, where is it? It's uh at Summer Creek?

153
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:41,319
I think where a humble? What time? Uh? Six o'clock?

154
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:43,920
How long do the games? Normally? An hour and a half.

155
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:49,319
Put me down as maybe, Okay, you're not coming, that's

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,199
that's my neck. I'll show up. Oh yeah, you know

157
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,160
what if Connor goes? Can we bring a cooler beer?

158
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,439
You're not allowed to bring alcohol too a high school? Okay?

159
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,519
Can we bring a pouch of wine? Can we tail

160
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:00,519
get outside. Yeah, can we tell you? I guess you could.

161
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:02,000
The weather's on. It is the weather gonna better by

162
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,240
litter today? Can we can we?

163
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:03,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

164
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: I get a grill going cranks now, queens in that

165
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:06,000

I'm like literally gonna go to the movies or something.

175
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,559

Ross will handle the cole brew side of it. I'll

182
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:54,720
handle the warmer stuff. That wasn't bad. No, I was accurate.

183
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,960
I was just gonna say that get me in trouble.

184
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679
I don't think it did. Uh Okay, So Rockets last

185
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:01,639
night take care of the Knicks one ninety seven, A

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,080
nice impression went over a good New York team that

187
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,440
has been beset by numerous injuries. We'll get to that

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,279
a little bit on the show today. Jonathan m Alexander

189
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,000
did in a really nice story today in the Houston

190
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:14,759
Chronicle about why he thinks the Texans will not be

191
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:18,919
active today. Is the NFL trade deadline. So we have

192
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,080
MLB free agency. Yes, we have the NFL trade deadline,

193
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,600
and we have the election and we have We're not

194
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:29,279
gonna talk about it. That's right. I can do that.

195
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,440
And with the Rockets winning last night against the New

196
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:34,000
York Knicks, so that's a radio program right there. And

197
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:39,200
we got people making trades that don't involve the Houston Texans. Correct,

198
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,240
Are there any huge uh like worthy of a breaking

199
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,440
news sounder? I wouldn't say necessarily. Cowboys traded a fourth

200
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,840
rounder for Jonathan Mingo, which, by the way, I do

201
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:53,440
need to make it up Carolina. Just like trade everybody off. Yeah,

202
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,000
what do you mean they're the Panthers. I mean they

203
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
beat the Saints this week, but they're in Selmo. The

204
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:00,639
Saints are terrible. They just fired their coach. Yeah, no

205
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,720
disrespect to Goady, but I do I have to make

206
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,200
a I have to make an apology. You were right.

207
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,240
I was wrong about when we come back. Oh. Now,

208
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:12,120
for those of you that are unfamiliar with the radio show,

209
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,279
Ross never thinks he's ever wrong about anything true, and

210
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,320
so this will be worthy of you listening to this

211
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,159
radio show coming out of the break because you do

212
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,080
absolutely want to find out what every day be. You

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,120
never admitted to me seven one three two one two

214
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,919
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five

215
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:30,399
seven ninety if you want to join our conversations today.

216
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,480
I believed yesterday we did something called to tell the truth.

217
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,000
I really think in my mind that Nick's gonna pull

218
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:38,600
something off to get something for in terms of a

219
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:43,399
potential uh offensive line depth and or wide receiver. And

220
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:47,279
Jonathan Alexander the Chronicle says otherwise. Seven one three two

221
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,759
one two five seven ninety. It is the Matt Thomas

222
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:51,919
Show with Ross. We're here till two o'clock this afternoon

223
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,480
right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

224
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 4: This is the Matt Thomas Show Matt Thomas on Sports

225
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,320
Talks an.

226
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,039
Speaker 1: This is the earliest of this show with you and

227
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,720
I have ever been together. We did in the Mornings

228
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,200
with Lands many years ago, but ten to two is

229
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,480
our new spot. This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

230
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:14,720
If you're new to the ten o'clock hour with us,

231
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,480
thank you for being a part of the show. If

232
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:19,519
you know the show at all, we do love to

233
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,120
talk and interact with the audience. It's not just us

234
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
listen to ourselves talk for four hours in a row,

235
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,600
because I've listened to us, so we're not particularly entertaining,

236
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,759
but we're going to get you guys involved. So please

237
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,759
always feel like you've got an avenue to discuss anything

238
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,200
from Rockets to Astros, to free agency to the Texans

239
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,960
coming up with the Detroit Lions. On Friday seven one

240
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,440
three two one two five seven ninety seven one three

241
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,759
two one two five seven nine zero. Now, before the break,

242
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,759
you alluded to something that I was right on and

243
00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:51,080
that you were wrong, or just that I was right both. Okay, uh.

244
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,919
I tried to last week downplay how good of a receiver.

245
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:58,519
DeAndre Hopkins still was. I thought he was washed done.

246
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,639
I thought it was a trade that was gonna maybe

247
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,440
work out for the Chiefs, but not make a huge impact.

248
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320
And he was fantastic for the Chiefs last night. He

249
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:09,759
Travis Kelsey was catching everything. E if he's not gonna

250
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:12,080
get that open, he's still got great hands, He's still

251
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480
a good receiver. And I mean a couple of touchdowns.

252
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:17,039
What did he have like seven eight grabs? I don't

253
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:19,879
remember the exact stat line. He is a difference maker

254
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,120
for them, like I think the Texans would like to

255
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,440
make a difference maker.

256
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: Now.

257
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Again, the only receiver that's really out there that's left

258
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,879
if you really are worried about the receiving core for

259
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:32,440
the Texans is Adam Feeling. Other than that, everybody's basically

260
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,559
gone right. Uh yeah, there may be a couple other folks,

261
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,559
but that don't come right to me. Would that be

262
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,519
three receivers traded by the Panthers. So they traded Deontay

263
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,159
Johnson to the Ravens. They have now traded Jonathan Mingo

264
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,159
to the Cowboys, by the way, for a fourth rounder.

265
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,440
Jerry Jones, what are you doing? It's Jonathan Mingo possession

266
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:55,639
receiver at best, and yeah, Adam Thielen's like thirty three

267
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,039
years old, and he would be kind of a slot guy.

268
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,799
I mean, well, the thing of it is, if you

269
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,240
want to go get Adam Thielen, are you thinking to yourself?

270
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,759
Is he better than Hutchinson's slash? Metchi slash? Who am

271
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:12,360
I forgetting Robert Woods? Robert Woods? The answer to that

272
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,720
is yes, But at what price do you want to

273
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:16,559
give up to get a guy like that? Yeah? At

274
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,080
what price? And you like running Tank Dell well inside

275
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:22,720
or outside, but he would be primarily a slot guy,

276
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:25,399
so that would be probably Hutchinson on the outside. And

277
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:30,159
then Metchi, you're losing some of John Mechi production, which

278
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,080
I mean there hasn't been no John Mitchi production. So

279
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,000
all right, So again I brought up Jonathan m Alexander's article,

280
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,639
and he's a good follow on Twitter at John m Alexander.

281
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,120
I'll just say that his story was concerning to me

282
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,960
because again his lead headline was Texans don't and just

283
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,720
spent making any moves? And I'm like, oh why so then,

284
00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:57,279
and his subject line and his chronicle story says, here's why.

285
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,480
First of all it sounds like to me. We played

286
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:04,159
the prescott for yesterday with Tamiko that he likes the

287
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,000
guys in the building. Now again, that could be one

288
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,840
thing publicly said, yeah, but probably mean another. But if

289
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:11,799
you don't make a deal today to go find another

290
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,080
offensive lineman, your public words are more private than anything

291
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,559
you can bark at inside the building. You don't make

292
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,159
a move than you are showing the audience your fan

293
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
base that you are happy with what's there. And I

294
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,600
can't imagine that to be the case. By the way,

295
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,840
three o'clock deadline today, accuoting Tomiko from yesterday. With Nick

296
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:32,840
and his staff, we're always looking to make our team

297
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,879
as good as we can possibly be. I do have

298
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:37,919
a heightened sense of making a move just to make

299
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:42,159
a move. The answer to that question was no, We're

300
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,440
always looking to add to our team, add to our depth.

301
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,440
That's something we do constantly throughout the year. Of course,

302
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,320
every NFL team does. That's why they bring in players

303
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,440
every Tuesday for workouts. That's not a typical of a

304
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,159
Texans team, or for that matter, any of the other

305
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,720
thirty one teams. Texans do not have a lot of

306
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,480
salary cap space. According to Jonathan and his story. Uh,

307
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,639
they already are going to lose a second round pick

308
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:04,399
in this next year's draft coming up because of the

309
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:14,039
Stefan Diggs trade. Yes, And the reality is I think

310
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,080
they think that Nico Collins comes back. He and Tank

311
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,799
Della are the one two punch and everybody else. And

312
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:22,279
why would you go trade for a number three receiver

313
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,399
when you're number one that could be coming back. If

314
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,919
not this week, certainly probably have perhaps a week after that,

315
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,559
and we'll know more about Nico when the team practices

316
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:32,039
starting tomorrow. Yeah, I think you add all that up.

317
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,039
It's Nico coming back, giving away draft capital, cat salary

318
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,799
cap restrictions, and and maybe nothing's going to happen, and

319
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,639
maybe there's nobody they love. You have to love somebody first.

320
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,399
You just can't make a deal just to make a deal, right,

321
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:49,960
I mean, look, Nikosia's on the phone. I'm sure of

322
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,919
course he is, But it is the is he finding

323
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,559
the right level of compensation give it away for what

324
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,000
he's going to get in return? That's another question. And

325
00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:00,279
then of course with the with the NFL in the

326
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:02,679
hard cap, we don't know what kind of there's all

327
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:07,799
these weird cap rules about accelerating bonuses and whatever stuff

328
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,799
with contracts in the NFL, and you never know what

329
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,759
the hell's going on. So there's just a lot of

330
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:16,120
intricacies to this that even if there is no deal made,

331
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,879
that doesn't mean that Nick Cassario didn't try. No, he

332
00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:20,559
wouldn't be doing his job if you didn't, And I

333
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,639
know that Nick doesn't liking get all thirty two general

334
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:25,799
managers on the phone constantly. Yes, there was a USA

335
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:28,240
Today article out this morning that does not have an

336
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:32,519
offensive lineman in their top ten trade targets. Other than

337
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:34,559
that means that the USA Today is determining what's good

338
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:36,559
to trade and what's not. But they were listing ten

339
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,519
players that may be still available for the trade deadline

340
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:40,639
today at three o'clock, and none of them involved an

341
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:44,000
offensive line. You also don't need a huge impact left guarded.

342
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,919
You need somebody to be replacement level because you've gotten

343
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,600
below replacement level play all year. So if you get

344
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:53,039
somebody that can at least hold the line a little bit,

345
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,120
that's a massive improvement from what you were getting from

346
00:16:55,159 --> 00:16:59,799
Kenyon Green. I just put on there when I saw

347
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,320
on Alexander's story this morning, I said, this is a

348
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,799
good read, CJ. You don't want to read it. I'm

349
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,759
not trying to be flippant when I tell you this.

350
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,440
If CJ, and this is something that every single Textan

351
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:16,839
fan listen to our voice right now would completely agree with.

352
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,079
If CJ faces the same sort of pressure he faced

353
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:23,000
this week or last week against the Jets, he will

354
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,960
not survive the season. Now are better? Are there worst

355
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,279
defensive lines that they'll face over the course of the year. Yeah,

356
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,359
Tennessee doesn't provide much. There are some dogs still up

357
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,319
on the Textan schedule, but there's also some really good

358
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,960
teams coming up. And even if you have a below

359
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,279
average defensive line and below average front seven, they still

360
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:45,880
provide pressure. Every NFL team puts pressure on quarterbacks, some

361
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,160
better than others. There are some individual players that are

362
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,319
better than others. Ross he's not going to survive if

363
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,839
they continue to believe, and they may be are down

364
00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:58,920
to four and a half hours here that the guys

365
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,599
that are currently in uniform are the ones that are

366
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:03,200
good enough to protect them the rest of the way.

367
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:09,039
It's not gonna end well. I think, yeah, they have

368
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:11,440
the way all the factors we talked about, but it's

369
00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:13,680
not even I mean, you're gonna face the Lions have

370
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,680
DJ readers. I think they're good on the interior that

371
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,839
you're playing this week. You mentioned some of the teams,

372
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:19,279
but also like the teams that you want to beat

373
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:23,039
in the AFC, like Chris Jones and the Chiefs, and

374
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,839
I mean the Steelers are good with Cam Heyward and TJ. Watt.

375
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Like if you want to make it anywhere in the AFC,

376
00:18:28,839 --> 00:18:31,720
I think most of the best defenses in football, the Broncos,

377
00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:35,440
the Chargers, the Chiefs, the Steelers, like they're in the AFC.

378
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,279
If you want to make it out of the AFC,

379
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,599
and that's that's the goal. That's the goal of Demiico Ryan.

380
00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:44,440
So you want to do more than that. They do, absolutely,

381
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,519
that's the goal. If you want to make it out

382
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,240
of these playoffs, you have to be better on the line.

383
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:51,640
And that's either internal improvement, which I think is what

384
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,279
they're going to bank on and we'll see because we

385
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:56,880
weren't talking as much about all these pressures. It's been

386
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,640
really bad for these last three weeks. Yeah, the first

387
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,359
five weeks it was a little bit better. So if

388
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,079
they're saying, you know what, we got to get back

389
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,680
to basics. We got to do what we're doing early

390
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,279
on in the season and all that type of stuff

391
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,599
which I don't necessarily see, or maybe they see. It's

392
00:19:09,599 --> 00:19:12,000
an addition by substraction with Kenny Green. I don't know,

393
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,160
but either way, we all know it has to get better.

394
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,279
It has to get better. And you cannot go into

395
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,440
the AFC playoffs because the AFC South is done. It's done.

396
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,359
You cannot go into the playoffs with the line playing

397
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,880
the way they are because you're gonna You're gonna wind

398
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,400
up be in the four seed in the playoffs. You're

399
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,319
gonna be the worst division record among the four teams,

400
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:31,599
which means you're gonna take on the best wild card

401
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,599
right yes, which right now I don't even know who

402
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,400
that is, But it doesn't matter if it's any one

403
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,599
of those teams I name. They all have really good defenses.

404
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,799
And again, even the worst teams in the NFL have

405
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,119
some sort of pass rush. This isn't a question of truth.

406
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,359
CJ's gonna take a seven step drag drop, have a sandwich,

407
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,000
cup of coffee, get on a zoom call, and then

408
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,599
throw the ball. He's gonna face pressure and the Texans

409
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:57,920
offensive line this year collectively have not been able to

410
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,279
handle it. Ten twenty seven. It is the Map Thomas

00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,839
hours over. I called it the News at Noon. I

430
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,839
love it. You know, if Louncal TV stations can call

431
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,519
them themselves the News at Noon, why can't we do it.

432
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:02,480
You're a fun ideas, Matt, and so appreciate you. The

434
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,359
the beaten track? Story? Easy, easy peasy. He so Russell

435
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,480
choose three or four things.

436
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: Ok.

437
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: And then I'll be the one to have to comment

438
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,039
on these things, which is and I don't want to

439
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,240
know what these things are in advance. Okay, good kind

440
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,599
of as the spotan eighty of the segment. So we've

441
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:23,559
got the News at Noon at twelve before the NFL

442
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,880
rewinded before that, and we've got gut feelings. We'll still

443
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,640
to shut your by mess up. We will still do,

444
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,319
believe it or not. We'll have the Fantasy five occasionally,

445
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:37,079
we'll Fantasy five Quincy Jones projects. I'll go first thriller.

446
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:42,680
I'll go Sanford and Son theme. Ooh, I'll go off

447
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,319
the wall. I'll go back to back Michael Jackson. I'll

448
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,119
go anything that he did with Ray Charles, the Wiz, ooh,

449
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,039
the Whiz. You said you never saw the Whiz right, No,

450
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,920
I don't think so. I did. I need to watch it.

451
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,160
That must watch No, no, no, but it does. There

452
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,440
was I mean to see a young Michael Jackson Diana

453
00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:03,960
Ross as though no she was, no, she was a Dorothy.

454
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,599
Oh she's Dorothy. Yeah, huh Nipsey Russell was. I believe

455
00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,160
the tin man, don't hold me to that. I won't, okay.

456
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,839
And then a song is called E's On Down, E's

457
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,920
On down the Road. Mm hmm. That was a pretty

458
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,559
catch little tune back in the day. I loved the

459
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:18,240
Wisdow was great. I remember seeing it as a kid.

460
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:22,480
Wonderful all right, seven one three seven ninety kJ Withers

461
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:25,440
at ten thirty three on the Matt Thomas showed Ross kJ,

462
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:27,880
good morning to you, Lord and fellas.

463
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 5: Has been a while man, due to schedule of conflicts

464
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,240
at Burg, I haven't been able to time in with

465
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,640
the two as much as I used to have. I

466
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,400
ticularly touch in with uh Ross on occasion. But uh,

467
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,400
just again, I love it so thank you. But there's

468
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,039
a million dollar question Matt and Ross. Uh Greg Moins

469
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:45,440
want to know. I know you said you're gonna have

470
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,480
to shuffle around, just get your segment scheduling because of

471
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:52,960
the addition of two hours. But this is the question,

472
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,440
Matt Thomas, fans want to know, are you going to

473
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:00,680
steal do the good morning strippers at twelve o'clock or

474
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,400
are you going to do it at ten o'clock because

475
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,920
you know, taking me on Fridays, they still sleep at

476
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,480
ten o'clock.

477
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:07,759
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

478
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: Well, I said honestly that strippers never get up at

479
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,839
ten o'clock in the morning. So it will it will

480
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,759
always still be at fronting at twelve noon.

481
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: Okay, cool, cool, cool. Now, this is my thing with

482
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:24,119
the Texas. I heard one of you guys mentioned earlier

483
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:28,160
that the offensive line was performing somewhat better the first

484
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,480
four or five games of the season. I don't think

485
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:33,000
it was necessarily good then. I think they had been

486
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:36,279
fully exposed to the extenss they've been exposed to now,

487
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,359
and now that the film is out on their vulnerabilities,

488
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:41,960
teams have taken full advantage of it. But this is

489
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,039
my this is my thing with the Texans of the

490
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:48,839
old line because again, this thing can the efficiencies of

491
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,880
the offensive line can filter into other aspects of the

492
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,039
game of the of the of the of the overall

493
00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:57,200
player of the team as far as the psyche is concerned.

494
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,400
I know, from ethical standpoint, they get paid millions to

495
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,400
do a job. I get that, but just from a

496
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,480
human being standpoint, this can frustrate you to the point

497
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,119
to where it affects other aspects of the game. I

498
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,920
look at the offensive line, and again I don't know

499
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,880
where Shack Mason was drafted, but the majority, if not,

500
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:17,160
the offensive line, and it's entirey or second round, second

501
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,559
or third round picks or higher. So that means that

502
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,720
there was something seen tangibly in these guys when they

503
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:26,960
were taking and or re signed onto the Texas. Because

504
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,200
they're no longer Bill O'Brien, guys, I'm wondering if these

505
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,400
guys as a collective were thought to have this much

506
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,519
talent yet all of them are falling short, not one

507
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:39,519
or two. Could this be a schematic thing, because you

508
00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:42,599
don't miss on that many up around draft picks and

509
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,400
have as a collective all of these guys coming short.

510
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
So I'm wondering if it's a sichematic thing. And my

511
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:50,559
question to you guys before I get off of here,

512
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,359
I know this was more or less a one and

513
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,119
done for Stefan Diggs and now that he's hurt, what

514
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,240
is the what do you guys think the likelihood is

515
00:24:58,279 --> 00:25:00,920
of the Texans re signing them for team friendly deal

516
00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:03,519
if because of his agent injury, he doesn't get a

517
00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:05,880
lucrative deal in the market. I'm gonna sit back and.

518
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, thank you for kenj I appreciate it.

519
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 3: Well.

520
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,599
Speaker 1: I've been on the record. I don't think he comes

521
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,400
back under any circumstance you might be able to He

522
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,079
might be able to go a sweetheart friendly deal from

523
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,799
a writing different teams, doesn't mean the Texans want to

524
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,519
give him a sweetheart friendly deal. Has he been, relatively speaking,

525
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:25,039
a choir boy with the Texans? Has there been a

526
00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:28,720
good relationship, Yes, but a lot of good guys ross

527
00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:32,759
are good relationship guys, good teammates, team captains, and you're

528
00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:34,960
coming off of severe injury and you're on the wrong

529
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,799
side of thirty. Unless the Texans just don't have any

530
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,559
other options, which they will obviously have options, I don't

531
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:44,759
think he's gonna get anything close to the kind of

532
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:46,359
money he thinks he's going to go get. So I

533
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,160
would think at this point, if I'm Stefan Diggs. I recoupering,

534
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,480
I recover, and I try to sell myself as hey,

535
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,119
I got still something left in the tank. I just

536
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,480
don't know if the Texans will be the team to

537
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:57,960
do it. Yeah, I mean it's possible. I wouldn't rule

538
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,720
it completely out because he One of the reasons they

539
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:04,519
mutually agreed to avoid out all of his contract is

540
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:06,960
that was Stefan Diggs betting on himself, saying I'm going

541
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,400
to have a smash year in twenty four and I'm

542
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,799
going to hit the market and I'm going to make

543
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:11,480
a bunch of money.

544
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:11,759
Speaker 3: Right.

545
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: Well, obviously that didn't happen. So we've also seen Nick

546
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,640
Cassario be someone who likes to sign prove it deals

547
00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:26,720
to guys who are veterans with something to prove and

548
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,720
towards the end of their career, and Stefan Diggs fits

549
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:32,599
that bill as well. So you have somebody coming off

550
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,359
a major injury that you could sign to a short

551
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,680
term if if Stefan Diggs thinks I need a one

552
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:42,240
year deal, that way, I can catapult myself to a

553
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:44,359
bigger deal. But he's going to be a year older

554
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:47,039
coming off in an ACL injury, so I don't know

555
00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,680
how realistic that is for the types of players. The

556
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,920
types of players you just described on the prove it

557
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,000
deal are usually just guys. They are extra linebackers. They

558
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,359
are defensive linemen that have had a handful of games teams.

559
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,200
I don't mean to stare up type on this, but

560
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,799
I'm going to do it. Wide receivers are a different breed.

561
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,599
Wide receivers are guys that think they are still the

562
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,720
alpha dogs. They can still run these routes. They can

563
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,720
still run down the field catch everything that's thrown towards them.

564
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:17,759
I think the types of players that Nick Casara brought

565
00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:19,480
in in the first couple of years when he was

566
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,160
a general manager were players that were just looking to

567
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,839
prove themselves or on the wrong side of thirty, that

568
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,240
had had no suctaining success and said, Hey, I'm gonna

569
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,640
go to Houston for a couple of years prove that

570
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,599
I'm worthy, like Grugierry Hill kind of guys like that.

571
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,319
Hm stefan Dis has had a very very successful NFL tenure.

572
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:42,960
I think him taking a I got to prove it

573
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,200
to other people kind of deal to stay in Houston

574
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:48,720
is not in his repertoire unless the market dictates. It says,

575
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,079
you know what, Stefan, You've got nowhere else to go.

576
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,920
If you want to play in the NFL in twenty

577
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,519
twenty five, you will take a team friendly deal in Houston. Now, again,

578
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,079
as much as he loved Houston, as compared to if

579
00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:01,000
all of a sudden, let's say Sincinnattie was to get

580
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:02,799
rid of T Higgins and they brought him in on

581
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:04,519
a contract that maybe paid him double or triple that

582
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,400
he would be paid here. Uh yeah, I don't know

583
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,240
those answers. Yeah, well that was before Nick Cassario's tenure.

584
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,279
But Taran Matthew was somebody that was signed to a

585
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,319
prove it deal here and then went on to sign

586
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:19,079
a bigger deal somewhere else. Denzel Perryman that Nick Casario

587
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,200
did sign to a one year deal and was a

588
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,279
proven deal and then he went on. Cashman would be

589
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,000
an example. Yeah, I mean that was I think did

590
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:27,799
they trade for Blake Cashman? I can't remember. But those

591
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:31,279
types of ILKA players are not not the headliners. These

592
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:34,200
are second tier guys looking to reinvent them. Perryman had

593
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240
been a pro bowler, so I mean he he had

594
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:37,960
a pretty good NFL career. But that's just off the

595
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,039
top of my head. I don't know. We can go

596
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:43,119
through every Nick Cassario transaction and maybe find those guys.

597
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,519
But the bottom line is Nick Asario likes signing one

598
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,680
year proven deals. So if that is becomes the case

599
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,720
with Stefan Diggs, I could see it happening. Yeah, I

600
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,400
will go on the record and say that it will

601
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400
not happen that we got you put your name on it. Yeah,

602
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:04,440
I just it's it's not it's it's Stefan Diggs. It's

603
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:08,039
it's not just your run of the mill receiver that's heard.

604
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:09,799
It's it's Stefan Diggs.

605
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 6: Ug go.

606
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: Alf doesn't have a problem here. They loved him here,

607
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:16,559
they voted him captain. But again, it's it's who he is.

608
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:18,920
I look, I don't take one year of Stefan Diggs

609
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,799
and say he's a completely changed man. I think I

610
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:24,680
know who Stefan Diggs is. Stefan Now again, it's not

611
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,680
gonna be about what he wants. It's with a dictate.

612
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,319
The market dictates exactly if if he can't get a

613
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:32,400
big if if these two things happen, which are possible,

614
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,000
if Stefan Diggs has these quite quite frankly delusions that

615
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,799
he is the number one receiver and going to get

616
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:40,839
a big deal and he needs a one year, proven deal.

617
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:43,839
He would sign here, and Nick Casari would probably happily

618
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,240
do it. But if Stefan Diggs may be a little

619
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,279
more realistic and say I need to take a multi

620
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:50,880
year deal at less money somewhere, then I think that

621
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,400
actually lessens his chances of coming back. Yeah, I again,

622
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,839
strictly I got that. I think his days are as.

623
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,720
I don't even know if the Texans would be so

624
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:02,279
much interested. Is again, when when you reduce a contract

625
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:03,880
when you had three years off and down to one,

626
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:07,000
that was kind of indicating. That was done by Cassirio

627
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,079
over to say, you know we're gonna go all in.

628
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,519
Does it work, We're moving on. Yes, I know injuries

629
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,880
don't aren't fair, but it didn't work. You got hurt.

630
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,720
It can't work if you're not playing. Not his fault,

631
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:25,640
them's the breaks. But it had to work if he's

632
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,359
playing in mediful games in January. Yeah, at this moment

633
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,000
they wasted or now after the injury, they wasted a

634
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:33,599
second round pick. Yeah, let's go to Jacob on the

635
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,720
north side. At ten forty one on seven, Oney Jacob,

636
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,200
good afternoon or good morning? All right, Hey, all you

637
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,319
gotta do is get healthy.

638
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 7: Man, he gonna get th gunny because his hands, He's

639
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,400
gonna get another opportunity and no.

640
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: Doubt, just like d Hop they thought the hot was done.

641
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 7: Hop the guy if you can play, if you can

642
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,839
play their position, you could play it. You don't forget

643
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:54,079
how to lose it because your leg you get injured.

644
00:30:54,359 --> 00:30:57,359
But with with the Texans, all right, this is a

645
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,559
man the coach second first, second year, what first year?

646
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,319
First of all, his first year he came in and

647
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,519
he won. He won his particular division. Here in the

648
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,440
second year, he leading his division. There's not too many

649
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,839
coaches you name them, came in and their first year

650
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,799
ever and won a division. Second year ever lead a division.

651
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,039
It's not like you just come in and you're gonna

652
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,319
go to the super Bowl. The Texas was losing. They

653
00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:29,279
got zero. They have zero championships in their existence. He

654
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,480
bringing a winning attitude and I think they got enough

655
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:34,920
offensive line. They it's not like you can get okay,

656
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,799
we don't trade for offense. And like a Rode receiver

657
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,240
with a Rod receiver, they could just run out running,

658
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960
you know the usual routes where.

659
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,559
Speaker 1: They gotta know the schemes and this and that.

660
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 7: So it's not like, okay, yeah he's the top old lineman.

661
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,960
We're gonna pick plug the man. He gonna know the

662
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,319
schemes and then we're gonna take off. They got they

663
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,240
got guys on the practice squad. They're gonna be good.

664
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,759
They six and three win in their division is not

665
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,200
some easy task. So I think they're on the right path.

666
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,759
And the owner know that they've been having to lose

667
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:05,319
an organization. They starting to win and they're gonna be

668
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:06,880
This is gonna be okay.

669
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: I thanks Chacking for the phone call. I don't share

670
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,160
that optimism, and you know what Ross and this. You

671
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,240
may disgree with me on this, and that's fine. I

672
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,839
don't think CJ shares that optimism. I think CJ is

673
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,240
showing little signs of frustration of I know pressure comes,

674
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:29,039
it's part of the game. But his accuracy numbers have

675
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:31,000
dropped considered the last couple of weeks. He's having his

676
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:34,200
worst little mini stretch of his young NFL career, and

677
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,799
I don't think it's because he's lost anything off his

678
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,480
fastball I think I think he is every bit as

679
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:40,680
good as he was last year. He's feeling the heat,

680
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,319
he's feeling the pressure, and I think I think frustration

681
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,839
can grow. And I think he's doing the right thing

682
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,720
by saying it's just as much me about anybody else.

683
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:51,279
But that's what quarterbacks are supposed to say. Yeah, I don't,

684
00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:54,880
I can't. I don't know what CJ. Stroud is thinking.

685
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,359
I don't think that he's Yeah, I don't think he's

686
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,680
losing face in the organization. I think he believes in

687
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,880
his guys, I know, especially out of Kenyon greens Down.

688
00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:06,880
I think he knows that he has to play better himself.

689
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,960
He is missing something. But if we called CJ right now,

690
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:12,640
okay and said CJ. Nick is not going to get

691
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,279
you an extra alignment to add depth to this offensive line,

692
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:16,839
you think you'd be okay with that? He would say,

693
00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:18,160
all right, that's fine. We got to roll with the

694
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:23,680
guys we got. I gotta be better, no excuses, and

695
00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:26,519
please use a warmest bachelot when you scoop me off

696
00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:33,440
the turf. Hmm, like oil it up like a oil. Yeah.

697
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:35,480
I don't like it. I think Texans fans don't like

698
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:38,880
it either. And here's the problem. Okay, you just here,

699
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,240
here's the biggest thing that Casiro's gonna have to fight.

700
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,920
There just probably isn't an all pro left guard sitting

701
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640
around going, I'll come in and help a right guard.

702
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Whatever the that's the thing. And then I mean, I'm

703
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,200
gonna imagine the prices if if really Jonathan Mingo was

704
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,279
just traded for a fourth rounder, that's that's steep. And

705
00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:00,599
so if the price is they're going to be too

706
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,960
high for Nickosario. I understand him not wanting to mortgage

707
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,440
the future and saying we have guys in house who

708
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:08,679
are going to get better. You're already probably better with

709
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,760
Kenyan Green going. But it's still a rossing And again

710
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,400
I'm saying I feel like I'm talking on both sides

711
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:21,440
my mouth here. It still feels like, uh, what's the

712
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:29,039
opposite of proactive not reactive? Just standing pat just doesn't

713
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:31,039
feel like the right thing to do. It just doesn't.

714
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,119
I don't know why. I don't know. Stagnant. Yeah, yeah,

715
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:36,639
well I know. But also it wasn't just a Jets game.

716
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,119
It was It's been this entire yea in particular, and

717
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,239
I don't know, maybe and Honestly, he might be in

718
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,440
a no win situation and I can fully accept that.

719
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,559
But I can guarantee you that the novice or even

720
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:55,760
the hardcore Texan fan, if if he faces serious pressure

721
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,320
this week and the Troy got another guy in their

722
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,079
trade deadline just just yesterday, thing, yes they did, they

723
00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:03,559
got the They got a d N from the Brown Zidarius.

724
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:05,639
This is Smith, Zidarius Smith.

725
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,119
Speaker 2: What was it?

726
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, something whatever. But point being is, if CJ has

727
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,480
a similar area, he's constantly facing the hurries and pressures

728
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,840
that he faced last week, the organization is gonna get

729
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,559
called on the carpet for saying that. Just like in

730
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:20,039
the Astros, when the Astros don't make moves, people say, well,

731
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:22,199
what is Dana Brown doing? What is James Click doing?

732
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,360
What is Jeff Leonoe doing?

733
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

734
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: You're close. You're as close as you have been in

735
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:32,320
a long time. There isn't one lineman out there in

736
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,800
these on these NFL streets that could potentially get you

737
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,599
over the top, not over the top, but at least

738
00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:38,719
make you feel a little bit better about the situation. Also,

739
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,280
speaking of the Astros, what happened they traded for the

740
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,159
Yusai Kakuchi and it was a firestorm and everybody hated

741
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,760
and it was the worst trade in the history. Brown

742
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,039
is a tummy and Dan Brown is the worst general

743
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:51,719
manager ever. And maybe sometimes these guys know more than

744
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,679
we do. But at least they did something, Yes they did.

745
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,920
And again, if if Kenyon Green, if you're telling me

746
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,239
it's Kenyon Green out and Jared Patterson in, they should

747
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,320
be better. But Jared Patterson's far from an All Pro.

748
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,360
He's a swing guy, right, But if it's gonna cost

749
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,719
him a second or third round pick to get in

750
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,320
All Pro, there, well, I don't think it. May don't know,

751
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,880
I don't suggest. No, there's no second round picks going

752
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,199
for swing lineman. There's that's just not gonna happen. That's

753
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:17,320
fourth round or just went for Jonathan Mingos, also Jerry Drew.

754
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,760
But eighty percent of the trades have been evolving fifth, sixth,

755
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,559
and seventh round picks. If you look at it, ten

756
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:24,519
forty seven, it is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross

757
00:36:24,679 --> 00:36:27,159
with you today until two o'clock seven one three two

758
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,559
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one

759
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,119
two five seven ninety Rockets got a nice win last night.

760
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,880
Against the Knicks. We'll discuss that next here on seven ninety.

761
00:36:36,440 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 4: Matt Thomas returns on Sports Talk seven ninety on.

762
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,599
Speaker 1: The baseline, goes into.

763
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,199
Speaker 8: Women, Thompson back out chaling straight on three. Yes, huge

764
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,000
three pointer for Jailing Greed. That's its first one in

765
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:17,039
seven tries. Ninety eight ninety two Rockets.

766
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,039
Speaker 1: He had two threes in the fourth eight points overall.

767
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,119
Uh And man, I was glad that Jailing woke up

768
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:26,960
because it would have been a second straight game. And

769
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,840
I don't believe that the twitter streets on Rockets would

770
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,480
have been particularly kind to our favorite off guard for

771
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:36,159
the Houston Rockets. Rockets win last night over the New

772
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,159
York Knicks. As we continue here the Matt Thomas Show.

773
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:39,679
For those of you just joining us, we are now

774
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:43,760
ten to two weekdays here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

775
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:47,239
All of our favorite segments still around, all the conversation

776
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,360
as we continue to be and I'd probably say this,

777
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,800
I feel like we are the most It's always a

778
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,760
cliche turn with the most interactive radio show, but it's true, man,

779
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,400
but it is. But it is literally the truth. A

780
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,559
lot of times cliches are there because they're true. Yeah, Okay,

781
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,159
I'll respect taking it one game at a time. It's true,

782
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,719
you should take it one game at a time. We're

783
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,840
gonna take our show one show to one segment at

784
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,920
a time. We've got gut fillings coming up at eleven o'clock.

785
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,800
Normally we do those at one. It's like we're on

786
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,599
West Coast time. Now, that's just how you have to

787
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:16,639
think about it when you go West Coast with the Rockets.

788
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:22,639
By the way, it'll be eight to noon. I'll have

789
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,840
lunch before a game. I can tell you that's true. Well,

790
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000
you get a nap, that's more important. Yet, I'll load

791
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,440
a room services to go take a nap. Yeah, all right,

792
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,239
So the Rockets take care of the next. Last night,

793
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,679
one O nine to ninety seven, uh Nicks played eight players,

794
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,440
of which one played five minutes. The other seven combined

795
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,400
to play like well all the starters. Two of the

796
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,360
five starters, Michail Bridges and Jalen Brunston each had forty minutes,

797
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,840
and then Ojannernobi almost had forty by himself. Rockets get

798
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,400
a victory and reach Ever played his best game career

799
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,440
high seven points for him. Rockets got a good performance

800
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,760
out of alb twenty five points, fourteen rebounds, five assists,

801
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,960
four blocks in the game. Wow Rocket. Matter of fact,

802
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,159
the Rockets had six blocks collectively as a group had

803
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,639
a fifteen points second quarter lead. New York tried to

804
00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:11,320
come back four lead changes very early in the contest,

805
00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:13,599
but the Rockets were able to outscore the Knicks in

806
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:15,960
the fourth quarter twenty eight to twenty two to even

807
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,480
their mark on the year. And now we'll have the

808
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,360
San Antornial Spurs in tomorrow night. You did not mention

809
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,760
somebody who I would could argue was the MVP of

810
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,559
that game, Aman Thompson. Yes, did you see? I mean

811
00:39:30,599 --> 00:39:32,639
you saw it. I was gonna say, have you ever

812
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:33,400
said did you see this?

813
00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: Yes?

814
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: And if I didn't, be guse like, I know you

815
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,000
saw it. But did you see he was locking up

816
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:43,079
Jalen Brunston. Yeah, he was locking him up. And we're

817
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:46,320
talking about one of the great perimeter scores in this league. Yeah,

818
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,119
passing and driving. He was shutting him down with his

819
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:55,519
length and positioning intelligence. It was awesome. A man is

820
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:58,440
going to be a player that I think Rocket fans

821
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,719
are going to just the issue is gonna be does

822
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,119
the perimeter shot ever become respectable. It's showing a little

823
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:09,360
bit of signs he knows where his strengths are, certainly

824
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,639
not at the three point line. He's letting him go

825
00:40:11,679 --> 00:40:13,119
from the corner, which I think it feels like that

826
00:40:13,159 --> 00:40:14,920
he's got the green line from the corner. Everywhere else.

827
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,079
They're like, it's the easy amount. But in theory, the

828
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:20,119
metrics say it's the easiest three point shot. Yes, how

829
00:40:20,159 --> 00:40:24,559
about the past fake middle of the lane fundamentals? Oh,

830
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,280
seven grade basketball, old fake fundamentals. Maybe let's go good so,

831
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,559
uh but yeah, a nice win for the Rockets last night.

832
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,440
Didn't get a great night from Jalen five of sixteen,

833
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:37,199
two of eight from three, but again, eight of those

834
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:39,639
fifteen points he had in the fourth quarter. Van Vliet

835
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,960
was really hot early, made his first four shots. He

836
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:46,280
finished eight of thirteen for the game. Dylan Brooks had

837
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,519
some threes as well. It was good get any more

838
00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:53,400
of those, and uh So, overall it's been you know, again,

839
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,119
like five hundred now or maybe game four three? Okay,

840
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,079
four and three you do on pace, Yeah, but you

841
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:03,320
had about forty eight seven forty eight wins somewhere in

842
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,519
that range. Also, they were zero and three in games

843
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:10,400
that I worked so oh really, now they're one in three. Yes,

844
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:12,519
I did listen to the show last night. Oh well

845
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:14,840
you're the one. Well I got one call. I felt

846
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,719
like it was worthy. If you're going to take the

847
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,199
time to do it, take the time. De Lusia appreciate that,

848
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,400
and you also want to know. But behind the curtain,

849
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,079
I was kind of distracted in my opening monologue because

850
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:26,360
I was praying that Patrick Mahomes didn't score a touchdown

851
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,360
so I could lose it a fantasy game. I know

852
00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:30,559
I won by three points. Despite the fact that Travis

853
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:33,480
Kelty the Toros have won two straight, I still despise

854
00:41:33,559 --> 00:41:35,960
fantasy sports. Come on, we need you in the league.

855
00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:38,559
I'm no. I went from tenth place to seventh last night.

856
00:41:38,639 --> 00:41:41,639
You're looking good, Maddie. Toros are charging up the standings.

857
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,800
For those of you who don't know, I've given up

858
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,960
on fantasy football last year. Like the twenty twenty four Astros,

859
00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:49,320
you started off in a rut. But now you're making

860
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,400
your charge. You're making your move. So did you bury

861
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,159
me or no? No, we didn't make a twenty twenty

862
00:41:55,159 --> 00:41:58,800
four Astro. Five Okay, so five, we didn't put a

863
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,079
gravestone on the Toro to just catch you all right,

864
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:02,719
one hour of the books. We've got three more to go.

865
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,480
We are going down from ten to two here on

866
00:42:04,559 --> 00:42:07,480
Sports Talk seven ninety seven one three two one two

867

00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,639
us on this show today when we come back, and

869
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,920
we'll introduce the segment to those eleven o'clockers that don't

870
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,519
know what we do. It's called gut Feelings. This is

871
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:18,639
where you literally call in with a prediction about anything

872
00:42:18,639 --> 00:42:21,559
sports related. If you hit, you call us back in

873
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,320
the future weeks and brag about it. If you're wrong,

874
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,559
We typically don't make fun of you. Typically now, okas

875
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,559
you might seven one three two one two five seven

00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:42,199
the Matt Thomas Show. Listen up all segment.

878
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,559
Speaker 8: So appeal, wasn't that Thomas?

879
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: You'll like, got a gut feeling? This is their gut

880
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,920
feeling on the Matt Thomas Show. All right, this is

881
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,480
how it works. By the way, you're like, worre's uh,

882
00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:56,440
why are you guys starting sorly? We started at ten

883
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,199
o'clock and we used to go every day until two

884
00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:01,519
there was a programming change, our reduction workforce in our

885
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:03,840
parent company. We wish stand nothing but the very best.

886
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,920
We UH enjoyed our time with him.

887
00:43:06,519 --> 00:43:06,639
Speaker 9: Uh.

888
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: And now because station has asked, we are now in

889
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,519
the ten to two slot here every day, five days

890
00:43:12,519 --> 00:43:16,400
a week Sports Talk seven ninety ross. It is time

891
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,119
for us to do a sement we used to do

892
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,199
every Tuesday at one o'clock. We're gonna do it at

893
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:22,440
eleven o'clock. And well, like I said, some of our segments,

894
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,119
we're going to figure out good times where we have

895
00:43:24,159 --> 00:43:26,559
the NFL rewind at the bottom of the hour, yes,

896
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:28,840
which I'm sure we'll include lot of the Tampa Bay

897
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,599
Kansas City game from yesterday. Oh huge. Then we have

898
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:35,280
today at the news at noon where you'll find four

899
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,880
sports headlines over thereabouts and maybe one non sports headline. Okay,

900
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,199
and you will throw things at me, and I'll have

901
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,800
to come up with witty rip oartie responses to your questions. Lovely,

902
00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:47,599
she'd be great, all right, gut feelings you call seven

903
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,519
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one

904
00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:53,920

905
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,199
a sports prediction, you hit it right. You called us back.

906
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,880
You get it wrong. Don't worry about it now. Ross.

907
00:44:00,679 --> 00:44:02,480
You always keep track of how our do we do

908
00:44:02,519 --> 00:44:05,079
on our gut feelings? How did we do last week? Yeah?

909
00:44:05,079 --> 00:44:07,039
But I guess I don't always do a great job.

910
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,199
I only wrote for you that the Texans will lose

911
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,000
and they and the Texans the under take the under yep,

912
00:44:13,039 --> 00:44:15,079
I had that. Did you do anything else? Do you remember?

913
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:15,679
Speaker 3: Well?

914
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:19,079
Speaker 1: That's all I wrote down for you. Sorry, Let's see.

915
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:24,000
I wrote that the Texans lose to the Jets nineteen

916
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:28,079
to sixteen. Yeah, not bad, kind of close. Yeah. I

917
00:44:28,119 --> 00:44:30,960
had the Rockets in their next three games against Dallas,

918
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,079
Golden State, and the Knicks two and one, one and two.

919
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

920
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're wrong those things too.

921
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: Glad.

922
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be wrong on that for sure. For sure,

923
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,559
I thought it might not go well for them the

924
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:43,480
way that they were showing early on in the season.

925
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,679
But a huge win at Dallas and a nice win

926
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,280
against the Knicks yesterday. Connor mcgovernor had Joe Mixon getting

927
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,400
a touchdown, which I believe he did, and he also

928
00:44:54,519 --> 00:44:57,519
had a Tank Dell touchdown that did not happen. He

929
00:44:57,559 --> 00:45:00,760
had Dalton Schultz over fifty yards. He had three catches

930
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,760
for like twenty one yards or something like that. Yeah,

931
00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:05,960
it was basically Tank Dell and nobody else on that

932
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,320
Dell show. Tank Dell was great and then everybody else.

933
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,880
Let's get an ego back this week, please, And he

934
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,440
had the Texans winning twenty three to seventeen. Unfortunately, what

935
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,519
was it, twenty three to thirteen? They could have won

936
00:45:18,559 --> 00:45:20,719
that game. The Jets tried to hand it to him

937
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,920
over and over and over again and they lost. Yeah, terrible,

938
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,960
all right, So again we don't ever brag in our

939
00:45:26,039 --> 00:45:28,480
gut feelings. Well, that's actually not true. As soon as

940
00:45:28,599 --> 00:45:30,480
I hit one, I go to Twitter immediately and put

941
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,079
it up there. So I'm feeling good about my one

942
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:33,719
from two weeks ago. Oh, by the way, I had

943
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,199
Dodgers in five remember that one?

944
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 3: That was That was it?

945
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: That was an awesome one. I was very proud of that.

946
00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:40,360
We're proud of you, Matt. And two weeks ago I

947
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,480
did have Jalen Green put my name on it. Best

948
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:46,159
offensive season of his career. So and he's on the

949
00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:48,559
team in four times so far, five out of six,

950
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:51,079
five out of six. No, No, you're right, right, sorry

951
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,159
now four out of six, seven, five out of seven,

952
00:45:54,519 --> 00:46:00,119
five out of seventh. Final answer, are you sure? Yes? Okay,

953
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,039
I think it's four to seven, but don't help me

954
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:04,559
to it. Last night I was outing, I don't want

955
00:46:04,559 --> 00:46:06,559
to bet you live time full of a bet. Ross,

956
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:09,000
it's just not you don't have to gamble. Let's go.

957
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:11,679
I don't like to gamble on everything, all right. I

958
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,480
would bet you on when the light's gonna turn green.

959
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:16,280
I don't care. You know it's funny because Ross and

960
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,039
I will go to a sports bar during NCAA tournament

961
00:46:19,079 --> 00:46:21,039
and we will bet on free throws. Yes, we will

962
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:23,280
bet on what commercials coming up next to the category.

963
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,199
That's always a fun one. I'll tell you that probably

964
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:27,320
the dumbest bet I ever made, but I don't regret.

965
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,239
It was me and my brother were arguing about how

966
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,519
bad the service was from a waiter, and we bet

967
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:34,360
over under how many minutes it would be before she

968
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,320
came back. See, I think that's not dumb. I think

969
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,920
that's actually interesting. You're reinventing new ways to make prop bets.

970
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,119
This was that eight muckers in Austin and I won.

971
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,480
What did you win? You by a round? Or some

972
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,119
I don't remember what the bet Okay, it might have

973
00:46:47,159 --> 00:46:51,159
been twenty bucks. I do like the one I've never

974
00:46:51,199 --> 00:46:54,599
done this before when Kramer on Seinfeld was in the

975
00:46:54,639 --> 00:46:56,880
lounge at the airport and they were betting on when

976
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,039
flights are coming in. Yeah, that's good. That's actually a

977
00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:03,400
pretty good one seven one three two five seven ninety

978
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,239
seven one three two one two five seven. I here's

979
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,519
my political gut feeling for today. Oh gosh, this show

980
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:11,719
tomorrow morning begins at ten o'clock. We will not know

981
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,280
who the president is president elect by tomorrow. Okay, so

982
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,400
we're gonna go. We'll be counting, yes, Okay, we will

983
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,239
not have a president elect tomorrow at tenna. Hanging chads though, right,

984
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,639
they're gonna be hanging chads, and most of them stay

985
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:27,480
it's electronic. Yeah, most are, not all, but most are. Okay,

986
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,719
hold on. Election not decided by tomorrow, Tenna. Ya, good god?

987
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,199
What did you drag it out for like three days

988
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,719
last time? It depends on yeah, four five days in

989
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,880
some respects. Yeah, it's just to be too close. I

990
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,440
think I think Canada A is going to be candidate

991
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,599
B fifty point one to forty nine point nine. That's

992
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:46,840
just me. Okay. My good feeling is the candidate you're

993
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,960
supporting deserved to win the election. I think that's a

994
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,079
good one. You're gonna probably hit that one pretty nicely.

995
00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 6: All right.

996
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: As far as sports predictions are concerned, do not hate

997
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,199
me on this. I might Texans lose by double digits

998
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:06,800
this week. What I know you're gonna be mad at me. No,

999
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,679
I'm not mad at you. It's the freaking Lions. Why

1000
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,440
is the line only three and a half? It's one

1001
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,679
of those what am I missing? Lines? And you know what, fine,

1002
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,119
I got a gut feeling for you. Now. Anytime this

1003
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,199
always happens, there's a what am I missing? This line

1004
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,760
is so mispriced it ends up going in the other way.

1005
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,239
So Texans cover the three and a half? What's up, maddie?

1006
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,800
Do they win? Texans cover the three? Give me the

1007
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,400
three all day. It's not a lot of the week.

1008
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,960
It's a gut feeling on a Tuesday.

1009
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:42,639
Speaker 2: All right.

1010
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:44,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask one more time and then if you

1011
00:48:44,159 --> 00:48:46,559
want to move on to something else, do the Texans?

1012
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:49,239
You say they cover the three and a half? Do

1013
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,960
they win? Texans cover?

1014
00:48:52,159 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 3: All? Right?

1015
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,639
Speaker 1: The three and a half so you're assuming it's gonna

1016
00:48:55,639 --> 00:49:00,679
be very close game. I'm trying to convince myself. Well,

1017
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,239
I mean, Jared golf can throw three interceptions, there's no

1018
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,840
recent wy things. One of the he's been like the

1019
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,000
most accurate quarterback on the planet. I mean, granted, he's

1020
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,719
got two good running backs the bench, offensive line football

1021
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,239
that doesn't give up sacks. If you try to blitz them,

1022
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,760
then aman Ross Saint Brown is getting ten twelve catches.

1023
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,000
If you don't blitz them, then then he's running down

1024
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,960
the field, and as is Jameson Williams Williamson, who's coming back,

1025
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,960
Jameson Williams Williams, Jameson Williams and got one of the

1026
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,920
best patching past catching tight ends in the league. Sandla Porta. Yeah,

1027
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:34,119
running backs that can move Montgomery, not Montgomery. Oh, it's

1028
00:49:34,159 --> 00:49:36,840
made David Montgomery, isn't it. They've got the Texans scoring points.

1029
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,360
This is a forty nine and a half total. Oh

1030
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,519
I don't think the Texans. Well, I could said forty

1031
00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:52,079
nine and a half thirty four to twenty four. Yeah,

1032
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:55,199
that's the Lions in the over. Okay, can I tell

1033
00:49:55,199 --> 00:49:59,039
a real story here real quick? So yesterday we're doing

1034
00:49:59,079 --> 00:50:01,880
the show and my in law is at Beau Ravage,

1035
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,480
cousin in law, cousin in law bel Revolge, that's a casino.

1036
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:08,920
And he texted me and he says, hey, call your guy.

1037
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,320
I need some picks to bed at at the casino.

1038
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,159
And I said, I didn't want to tell him. It's

1039
00:50:15,159 --> 00:50:17,079
but I didn't have a guy. Yeah. I don't know

1040
00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:19,079
why he thought I had a guy. You he used

1041
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:20,920
to have guys on used to But I'm not going

1042
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,079
to reach out. So I gave him my own picks, okay.

1043
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:30,840
I gave him Bucks plus the six that's Milwaukee Bucks, okay.

1044
00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:33,559
And I didn't realize shortly after that Giannis was not

1045
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:38,480
playing in that game. I gave him Buccaneers plus six

1046
00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:42,119
and a half and the over. Ooh, so I had

1047
00:50:42,159 --> 00:50:46,159
all three? Uh oh because Buccaneers covered the six because

1048
00:50:46,159 --> 00:50:50,440
of the overtime yes and the Bucks without Giannis only

1049
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,280
lost by two points of the Cavaliers yesterday. As somebody

1050
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,400
who has witnessed this with my own eyes, you are

1051
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,239
a lucky some bitch when it comes to sports betting

1052
00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:03,679
and randomly picking picks out of your ass. Out of

1053
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,920
your ass completely, I will say it. You hit like

1054
00:51:07,079 --> 00:51:09,679
eighty percent. It's ridiculous if I give it a thing,

1055
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,119
telling you if it's a loss. If you are walking

1056
00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:14,840
in a sports book and you see Matt Thomas and

1057
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,599
tell it, the more research he does, the worse his pick.

1058
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,280
So Matt does zero research on a pick, and he

1059
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,320
didn't even know Jannis was playing. That's what I'm talking about.

1060
00:51:24,639 --> 00:51:27,000
I've seen it with my own eyes. He hits parlays,

1061
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:32,360
he hits picks'iculous first five innings. It's honestly, it's it's incredible,

1062
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,000
Like I'll have guardians rolls over in the first five

1063
00:51:35,039 --> 00:51:38,840
I don't know who the pictures are, day off or

1064
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,280
not break up, he doesn't know the X slug in

1065
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,719
the lineup, none of that, and it hits. It hits eight.

1066
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,039
So that's the reason why I'm going to be in

1067
00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:49,480
Detroit on Saturday for the Rockets. We're gonna get there

1068
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,760
probably late afternoon. I'm going right to the MGM. Yes,

1069
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,159
and I'm gonna beound a bunch of West Coast football

1070
00:51:55,159 --> 00:51:58,280
games and not give two blanks who's playing. What it is,

1071
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,400
just look at the line and probably do based oneography.

1072
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,400
And if I've been to that airport before, if you

1073
00:52:02,599 --> 00:52:05,159
try to give like thoughtful analysis. If you make the

1074
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:07,760
pick on air, it's got no chance. If you make

1075
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,400
it in a book randomly, it's eighty percent eighty percent minimum.

1076
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,400
And it's funny you the picks you get right are

1077
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,159
the ones you've never been on. You give to your buddies.

1078
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,480
So there you haven't all right? Uh yeah, I think that.

1079
00:52:18,519 --> 00:52:20,159
I think the I'm thinking about this. I think The

1080
00:52:20,199 --> 00:52:24,880
Lions was new tailors. I mean, I guess you know

1081
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,280
what I could do walking bets. That's going to be

1082
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:32,840
a jiggle. We don't want to see. That's fair. Seven

1083
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,239
one three two one two five seven, Honty, we'll have

1084
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,079
more of our gut feeling is coming up in just

1085
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:38,480
a couple of seconds, if you will like to get

1086
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,079
your gut feeling in. I have not checked on Taylor.

1087
00:52:41,119 --> 00:52:43,639
She did, okay, I think she's back on those Twitter

1088
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:46,480
streets again. You don't lie. You've checked on her six

1089
00:52:46,519 --> 00:52:49,000
times since the show started. Okay, maybe that's accurate, but

1090
00:52:49,039 --> 00:52:51,360
I didn't want to come across that way. Seven one

Speaker 10: Rousing that Thomas, Yo, they got a gut feeling.

Speaker 1: Lunchtimers.

1116
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,559

Speaker 1: All Right seven one three two one two seven seven

one three two two five seven niney if you have

1119
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,440
any gut feelings. I had the Texans losing by ten

1120
00:54:22,519 --> 00:54:26,239
this week. I'm gonna feel better about them going to Dallas.

1121
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,679
Though Dallas is imploding, I ain't scared about the Cowboys.

1122
00:54:30,039 --> 00:54:33,639
Dak's not playing. Look rough times ahead. We knew this

1123
00:54:33,639 --> 00:54:35,360
would be a tough part of the Texan schedule. So

1124
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,360
it's just you know, six and four still good. You

1125
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,480
can win the AMC South. You probably just gonna settle

1126
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,800
for the fourth best spot in the West the AFC playoffs.

1127
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,960
I wonder if we'll see a friend of the show,

1128
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:51,199
Trey Lance, in that game. You put your name on

1129
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,119
it a while ago, and so far you're good that

1130
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:54,960
he is gonna He is a bust and will never

1131
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,960
have any kind of NFL career, that is correct, but

1132
00:54:58,079 --> 00:54:59,679
he'll he'll probably play before the end of the year.

1133
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:02,719
Oh and I think I think Zion went. Speaking of that,

1134
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,039
I think Zion Wimson's been having hamstring issues, so you

1135
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,519
might be good there too, Is he really? I think so.

1136
00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:10,400
For those who don't know, I've always ross and I

1137
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,159
have argued about Zion Williamson's health. You said he would

1138
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:16,159
never ever play seventy games in a season, and he

1139
00:55:16,159 --> 00:55:18,639
played seventy last year. Yeah, but that was that was

1140
00:55:18,679 --> 00:55:21,599
the extra playing game. So that was a very technical

1141
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,840
if you know what, we gotta check the tay. If

1142
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:30,239
you want that one, you can have it. Uh. Yeah,

1143
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,679
I think he Yeah, I think he didn't play. He's

1144
00:55:32,679 --> 00:55:37,639
got hamstrings. Also, don't just go away, Nope, Nope, Nico Collins,

1145
00:55:37,679 --> 00:55:39,880
especially when not in great shape. Now Nico's in good shape. No,

1146
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,039
Apparently Zion lost a lot of weight this off season

1147
00:55:42,039 --> 00:55:43,719
and he's like in the best shape of his life. Well,

1148
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,000
there's also training camp dining table too. Some people are

1149
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,360
playing themselves into the shape, like alprin Chington. All right, Uh, Connor,

1150
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,280
what are your predictions on this week's edition of Gut Feelings. Oh,

1151
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,000
that's right, we didn't get Connor. That's rude. We gotta

1152
00:55:56,039 --> 00:55:58,639
make sure game involved. I appreciate it, thank you.

1153
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,039
Speaker 11: I'll be over twenty points against the Spurs On Wednesday,

1154
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,119
he was held against Wemby.

1155
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,119
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you.

1156
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 11: He had twelve and six last time they played. So yeah,

1157
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,719
but he's gonna have a breakout like he did last season.

1158
00:56:11,519 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: Well, I would be nobody. Forty five on his head.

1159
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:15,280
Well I would say this. I would be impressed with

1160
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,159
your prediction. But the problem is last year he played

1161
00:56:17,159 --> 00:56:19,400
against Wemby three times and average twenty eight points per

1162
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,559
game in those three. Well, it's forty five at one

1163
00:56:21,599 --> 00:56:24,039
though in one of those games? What are the others do?

1164
00:56:24,119 --> 00:56:25,000
The math man? What was the other?

1165
00:56:25,039 --> 00:56:25,199
Speaker 12: Twam?

1166
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not doing it. Okay, So I'm sorry.

1167
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,599
What did you say, Connor? Twenty points? Twenty points? Say?

1168
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,519
And then Nico Collins does not play against the Lions?

1169
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:35,199
Speaker 3: You know what?

1170
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: I will join you on that. It just it didn't

1171
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,039
sound like Demiko was overly optimistic. When you when you

1172
00:56:41,119 --> 00:56:42,719
want to come out of a press camrace on Monday

1173
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,719
saying yeah, we're gonna be fine. Demiko's I mean Nico's

1174
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,400
coming back. He was very much of the we're gonna

1175
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:49,760
or wait and see mode.

1176
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,559
Speaker 11: I think Will Anderson will play, but not Nico okay, okay,

1177
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,960
and Dalon Schultz will get his first touchdown of the year.

1178
00:56:56,039 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: You are on team Dalton love it, I love it

1179
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,800
plays college football to Missouri or something, or if he

1180
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,440
says it every week, it's got to come true at

1181
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:05,400
some point. Exactly.

1182
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 11: I didn't say it last week, but I said for

1183
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,480
his first touchdown of the season this week.

1184
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: It's the line. Okay. Is there a Houston athlete that

1185
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,320
you can remember off the top of your head, either

1186
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,920
one of you that you just kept saying it's going

1187
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,519
to break through and be something special and just never did.

1188
00:57:19,639 --> 00:57:22,280
Like your your love for Dalton Schultz is at some

1189
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,800
point uncomfortable. Uh, you keep predicting these great things. Is

1190
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,159
there anybody else that you've like he's going to break through? Now?

1191
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,800
I did have Jake Myers. I did have Drake here,

1192
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,760
you are the president of the Jake Myris Fan Club.

1193
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,000
I give you that he broke through for a month.

1194
00:57:35,599 --> 00:57:38,000
His May was good. The other five months weren't so hot.

1195
00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:39,639
But I never really thought he's gonna be an All star.

1196
00:57:39,719 --> 00:57:40,719
I just thought he was going to be a good

1197
00:57:40,719 --> 00:57:43,400
everyday player. He was a gold Glowe finalist. Help me,

1198
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,000
I you know, mean better than me? Sometimes give me

1199
00:57:46,039 --> 00:57:48,320
somebody that I've been pushing that just never ever did

1200
00:57:48,639 --> 00:57:52,639
Isaiah Hartenstein. Isaiah Hartenstein turned out to get a hilatiously

1201
00:57:52,639 --> 00:57:55,639
big contract with Localhoma City. But I wasn't one of

1202
00:57:55,679 --> 00:57:59,039
those guys on him. Uh, who was? Who have I been?

1203
00:57:59,239 --> 00:58:02,199
Russell Westbrook? I'm just kidding. I don't know. I didn't

1204
00:58:02,199 --> 00:58:03,719
think John wall would be that big of it. They're

1205
00:58:03,719 --> 00:58:06,039
just mostly a hater. So, I mean, I can't think

1206
00:58:06,079 --> 00:58:09,400
of anybody you believed in. So that's pretty tough. Oh,

1207
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,800
I said, hmmm, I can tell you I can rattle

1208
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,800
off fifty people you didn't believe in that was probably

1209
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,159
right forty five times wrong five still a pretty good percentage.

1210
00:58:20,719 --> 00:58:22,960
I'll think I'll think of somebody that I that I've

1211
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,760
been such a fan of that let me down. Oh, okay,

1212
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,440
I'll give you one. I keep trying Cabbage well. Uh

1213
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,599
will Levis, Oh, will Levis is good. Thomas Sports Enterprise

1214
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:35,519
and Ross slightly bullish on will Levis, TSC's biggest hit

1215
00:58:35,559 --> 00:58:38,559
of Dak Prescott looking a little shaky. It is, although

1216
00:58:38,559 --> 00:58:41,199
if we're looking for potential income, he's doing quite well.

1217
00:58:41,239 --> 00:58:44,320
For Joel doing very well. Ts declared him a peronneal

1218
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,920
pro bowler. That's right. What about that tight end too?

1219
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,480
That was the first round pick Brock Yeah, Brock Perry

1220
00:58:49,519 --> 00:58:51,880
was dominating with the rate is yeah. Thomas Sports Enterprizes

1221
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,840
generally speaking of a good good year. Last year not

1222
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:58,159
so hot. I mean Joelt was like the first tackle

1223
00:58:58,199 --> 00:58:59,239
off the board and went like fifth.

1224
00:58:59,280 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: Is that?

1225
00:58:59,519 --> 00:58:59,599
Speaker 4: Like?

1226
00:59:00,239 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1227
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: Should I be bragging about that? Probably not?

1228
00:59:02,199 --> 00:59:02,519
Speaker 2: All right?

1229
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: Seven one three five hours ago, and there was people

1230
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,079
doubting rock Bowers, including myself. Yeah, she's been really good.

1231
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:09,480
Last call seven one three two one two five seven

1232
00:59:09,559 --> 00:59:11,800
nine zero seven one three two one two five seven

1233
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,159
to eight of any other predictions, I do go ahead

1234
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:18,360
under forty nine and a half Texans Lions. By the way,

1235
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,920
the latest Super Bowl odds are out for the winner

1236
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,079
of the Super Bowl Winner just winner. Okay, Texans went

1237
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:27,760
from fourteen to one to twenty two to one. Ooh,

1238
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,639
I might as get down on them to win the thing. Yeah,

1239
00:59:32,679 --> 00:59:34,239
it's funny because you know what, you may be right.

1240
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,239
It may be harder win the AFC Championship than it

1241
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:38,760
will be to win the world's the Super Bowl. While they, well,

1242
00:59:40,119 --> 00:59:42,679
the Lions. If it's not the Lions, I feel pretty

1243
00:59:42,719 --> 00:59:44,679
good if it is the Lion's gonna be tough, they'll

1244
00:59:44,679 --> 00:59:47,440
be dogs. Texans went from six and a half to

1245
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,679
one on the twenty ninth of October to win the AFC.

1246
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,000
They are now twelve to one to win the AFC.

1247
00:59:54,159 --> 00:59:56,920
They are going their numbers way up. I got them

1248
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,119
in the off season at twenty seven to one, and

1249
01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:02,519
you had that ticket. You know, there's a part of

1250
01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:05,400
me wants you to get that's just when the AFC. Right, No, oh,

1251
01:00:05,559 --> 01:00:07,400
well you're not cashing. Well if they make the Super

1252
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,679
Bowl aheadge oh, you're going to win like seven hourd bucks?

1253
01:00:10,719 --> 01:00:13,840
Did they win? Wait, Maitte, you put a ticket in

1254
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:17,480
at twenty seven to one, so you bet what twenty

1255
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,599
five bucks somewhere at twenty seven? Actually okay, it was

1256
01:00:20,639 --> 01:00:22,840
what's left. It was the balance left over in the kiosk.

1257
01:00:23,039 --> 01:00:25,159
I was at the betting kiosk at the math means

1258
01:00:26,559 --> 01:00:29,360
mortzmook and you don't have to rhyme the molden at

1259
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,719
the molden mugget. It got much better, And I was like,

1260
01:00:32,719 --> 01:00:35,559
you know what, bleep it? I maybe I had had few.

1261
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:38,599
I was like, all right, Texas and went so basically,

1262
01:00:39,039 --> 01:00:41,719
I do this sober when I make these grandiose picks,

1263
01:00:42,119 --> 01:00:44,239
you have to have alcohol infuse in your body to

1264
01:00:44,239 --> 01:00:46,599
make that happen. I told the story, I thought, because

1265
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,800
then the machine ran out of paper, no I at all.

1266
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,239
I had to get the lady till I was waiting.

1267
01:00:53,239 --> 01:00:55,239
I had to go all the way to the Mortsmook

1268
01:00:56,239 --> 01:00:59,199
and you don't have to rhyme sportsbook. And then the

1269
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,599
danager of the Mortsmook, Oh my gosh, and she was

1270
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,639
and I brought her over there and she's like, what

1271
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,360
was your bet? I was like, Texans to war the

1272
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:08,039
super Bowl?

1273
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:09,079
Speaker 2: She like that.

1274
01:01:09,159 --> 01:01:12,199
Speaker 1: She gave me the biggest side eye, like what that

1275
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,519
way minute that looked there are side I bet you

1276
01:01:14,519 --> 01:01:16,880
could make. The Texans winning the super Bowl is not

1277
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,079
a side It was like in January before they traded

1278
01:01:19,079 --> 01:01:21,760
for steph On Diggs as well. She was like, what, well,

1279
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,280
the only reason why you get a sid eye is

1280
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,960
if if everybody in America thought Kansasity was going to

1281
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,800
repeat is another She had to like write down the

1282
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,480
bet number. We had to go. But it was a

1283
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,199
whole ordeal. Whole ordeal. I'll say the only thing about

1284
01:01:32,239 --> 01:01:35,000
the negative about the sports book there is that the

1285
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,199
tickets are like four and a half pages, So when

1286
01:01:37,239 --> 01:01:39,320
do they run out of paper? Those things are They're

1287
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,719
like CVS receipts. Yeah, yeah, ridiculous. By the way, percentage

1288
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,159
of time you use a CVS coupon off those receipts,

1289
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,320
I'm not gonna say zero, Maybe I've done it once.

1290
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,760
Maybe I'm gonna say about ten percent of the time. Okay,

1291
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,920
I'm gonna say Candy Green cards say two percent and

1292
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,639
buy one. I asked to get one free. Kind of thing.

1293
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,239
It does to work out its itself. Yeah, ever, occasionally

1294
01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:01,920
get on seven ninety biscuit. What is in your gut

1295
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:02,639

shooters now and they still playing detail. But let me

1307
01:02:31,639 --> 01:02:34,000
ask you this, Matt, who is the who's the third

1308
01:02:34,039 --> 01:02:36,119
big man in the rotation? Is that they got laid

1309
01:02:36,119 --> 01:02:38,880
them out? Because I just see the game a lot.

1310
01:02:39,079 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: He's yeah, they lost their big guy. Lot he didn't.

1311
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:43,599
He know, he's not gonna play that much.

1312
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 9: But if somebody got to play in the third big

1313
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,519
man role, who's going who is gonna be the.

1314
01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:50,639
Speaker 1: Probably a lot because of the injury, or to McFarlane

1315
01:02:50,679 --> 01:02:51,320
earlier this week.

1316
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 9: So yeah, okay, and who is I seen another guy?

1317
01:02:56,039 --> 01:02:59,679
I know, you got Miller who's the shooter, and you

1318
01:02:59,719 --> 01:03:01,599
got all over the shooter, and he got sharp as

1319
01:03:01,639 --> 01:03:04,519
the shooter, and you got Crier as a shooter. Who

1320
01:03:04,599 --> 01:03:06,719
is that other guy? I've seen that that came in

1321
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:07,239
last night?

1322
01:03:07,239 --> 01:03:08,119
Speaker 6: He hit a bunch of threes.

1323
01:03:08,199 --> 01:03:11,119
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't see the game because I was calling

1324
01:03:11,119 --> 01:03:13,000
the Rockets. But you're talking about usin he's a new

1325
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,519
point guard, he's the replacement for.

1326
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's good, and he transferred from where.

1327
01:03:18,719 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: He is a transfer. Oh, you're putting me on the spot.

1328
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,320
It's always so hard with college basketball. Oklahoma, Oklahoma, there

1329
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:27,280
it is, thank you Ross.

1330
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:30,599
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, okay, But yeah, I've seen my Cougars man

1331
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:33,039
Matt back to back Big twelve ten.

1332
01:03:33,159 --> 01:03:34,679
Speaker 1: You know what I'm You know what I am? I

1333
01:03:34,719 --> 01:03:37,880
am thank you for this actually works good this time.

1334
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,280
I feel about the Cougars like Texans fans feel about

1335
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,920
the Texans. Winning the Big twelve is cool and everything. Yes,

1336
01:03:44,079 --> 01:03:45,519
I want bigger and better things. I want to go

1337
01:03:45,519 --> 01:03:47,199
to the Final four. And that works out perfectly because

1338
01:03:47,199 --> 01:03:50,360
this year's Final four is in San Antonio. Ooh, you're

1339
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,039
gonna go? H depends on my rocket schedule. Okay, but

1340
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:54,920
I if I can go, I'll try to go. I'm good.

1341
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,719
I'm glad you haven't brought up the Longhorns loss of

1342
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:02,280
the Ohio State Buckeyes last night. That's not terrible loss. Yeah,

1343
01:04:02,559 --> 01:04:04,400
they're one and a half point face. By the way,

1344
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,679
keep an eye on five star freshman Trey Johnson. He

1345
01:04:07,719 --> 01:04:10,320
had twenty nine points, shot five of eleven from three

1346
01:04:11,039 --> 01:04:15,079
from the Longhorns five stars, scoring wing twenty nine points

1347
01:04:15,079 --> 01:04:17,119
in his debut as a true fresh Is that a VS?

1348
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:18,119
Is that a VS?

1349
01:04:18,639 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 12: Pick?

1350
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Right there?

1351
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: It might have to because she's like a gud. He's

1352
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,039
looking smooth with it. All right, I got you all

sounds great. Time Now for the NFL rewind, Yes, Matthew,

1412
01:07:24,119 --> 01:07:26,719
Well we'll go before we get to Sunday. We'll get

1413
01:07:26,719 --> 01:07:30,599
to Monday. And what happened last night with the Chiefs

1414
01:07:30,639 --> 01:07:34,880
and the Buccaneers banned off terrem hunt right sny Kyrie,

1415
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:35,480
he is.

1416
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:42,559
Speaker 13: Give it time touchdown JNA City. It's a lot off

1417
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,199
touchdown fight. Terram Hunts and the Kansas City Chiefs stay

1418
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,719
undefeated at eight to zero, the only unbeaten team in

1419
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,519
the National Football League. Fourteen straight wins for the Chiefs Kingdom.

1420
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: That's in all.

1421
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:02,119
Speaker 13: Time Kansas City record and seven in National Football League history.

1422
01:08:02,559 --> 01:08:06,039
Speaker 1: Wooh, that call just kept going. But the Chiefs get

1423
01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:09,719
the victory walk off in overtime. Matthew. The Buccaneers come

1424
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,760
back late to tie it at twenty four, but they

1425
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:18,680
kicked the extra point. The entire nation was waiting for

1426
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,319
Todd Bowles to go for two in that situation. He

1427
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,279
did not. Here's what he had to say about it,

1428
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,000
very minor. We want to get it the overtime. With

1429
01:08:26,079 --> 01:08:28,079
the wet conditions on the field, we felt like we

1430
01:08:28,079 --> 01:08:29,840
had to go on overtime instead of go for two,

1431
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,399
so we had our shots. You know, we lost the game.

1432
01:08:34,239 --> 01:08:39,279
Agree or disagree with Todd Bowles's decision to not go

1433
01:08:39,319 --> 01:08:42,159
for it on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs

1434
01:08:42,199 --> 01:08:45,640
and play for overtime. You know, me, I go conservative

1435
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,920
in this particular situation. I will go for the tie.

1436
01:08:49,039 --> 01:08:51,960
That's just me. Sorry, you were the Ronald Reagan of

1437
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:56,680
going for it. My goodness, the Ronald Reignan for going

1438
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,640
for it. All right, anyways, all right, thank you mad

1439
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,920
for that. Let's keep it AFC. A clash of Titans

1440
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,760
in the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills eque out against

1441
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,720
the Miami Dolphins.

1442
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 14: Wattle in pursuit is Rousseau, and he wraps him up

1443
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,039
and drops him at the six yard line. Daddy long

1444
01:09:16,159 --> 01:09:20,279
Legs gets all over Jalen Wattle and drops him at

1445
01:09:20,279 --> 01:09:25,359
the six and that'll do it. The Bills, in inspiring fashion,

1446
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:29,680
went thirty to twenty seven and improved to seven to

1447
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:30,760
two out the season.

1448
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills go to seven and two. A couple of

1449
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,600
angles on this one, first of all, to a tongue

1450
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,680
of a loa. Congratulations, he made it through another game.

1451
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,000
He didn't get a concussion. I watched some of that

1452
01:09:40,079 --> 01:09:42,960
on the red Zone on Sunday, and just like you,

1453
01:09:44,079 --> 01:09:47,920
having to watch Tua do anything scares the Jesus out

1454
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,199
of me. I don't I don't want anything about it.

1455
01:09:51,239 --> 01:09:54,199
But you know what I'm thinking about. Yes, so you're

1456
01:09:54,239 --> 01:09:57,039
thinking about him getting hurt again? And how about this,

1457
01:09:57,119 --> 01:10:01,720
Matt for a bat beat? If you bet on the

1458
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:05,079
tua yards prop. It was two hundred and forty three

1459
01:10:05,199 --> 01:10:07,520
and a half yards, which is a very small group

1460
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,760
people that are doing this. He was at two fifty two,

1461
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,880
but on that last lateral play, Jalen Waddell catches the ball,

1462
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:18,840
he runs back twenty one yards and now to at

1463
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,039
two thirty one. If you bet that prop, you took

1464
01:10:21,039 --> 01:10:23,399
an l But again, the number of people in this

1465
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,600
world that bet the Tua Tagolowa prop probably, I mean

1466
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,079
there could be pople that have it in Underdog. Oh,

1467
01:10:30,119 --> 01:10:34,159
that's actually true. I was thinking just book only if

1468
01:10:34,199 --> 01:10:36,680
you went to Underdog that that's gonna certainly get you.

1469
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,560
So yeah, that's probably a lot more than I would

1470
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,079
have thought. It's still not a huge play though, So

1471
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:44,279
Dolphin's down to two six, two and six on the season.

1472
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:49,279
Matt neutral field this week. Bill's Textanus soil, you take it?

1473
01:10:49,319 --> 01:10:52,800
Bill's Texans on a neutral What made you think of that?

1474
01:10:53,159 --> 01:10:57,920
I'm just asking thinking about AFC pecking order, Bill's I

1475
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,840
don't think. I don't think Josh Allen can have that

1476
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:02,880
bad of a game a second time in one year,

1477
01:11:04,119 --> 01:11:05,960
although he was slow to get going last week. I'll

1478
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,079
say this, but not he had epically bad numbers against

1479
01:11:09,079 --> 01:11:11,239
the Texans. Now, again, that may be granted to the

1480
01:11:11,279 --> 01:11:14,199
Texans defense, or that maybe it was just Josh Allen

1481
01:11:14,239 --> 01:11:16,239
not being able to throw the ball accurately. Yeah, I

1482
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:17,920
think you're right. I would go with the Bills right now.

1483
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,479
They're playing a lot better football, and even though you

1484
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,439
got the head to head win, and that's important, you're

1485
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,359
a game behind them now in the eight FC. Let's

1486
01:11:25,399 --> 01:11:27,800
go to the NFC. By the way, can we stay

1487
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,079
on the AFC for one second? Yes, if the playoffs

1488
01:11:30,119 --> 01:11:31,720
were to start today, let me give you the matchups.

1489
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,560
You ready, Yes, Kansas City at eight No, would have

1490
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,960
would have the buy it's really a bye, because this

1491
01:11:37,039 --> 01:11:40,680
really is a tournament. You would then have Denver at Buffalo,

1492
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:53,399
the Chargers at Pittsburgh. Yes, Baltimore at Houston. Just rest

1493
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,199
on that for a second. Uh. Well, it's funny you

1494
01:11:56,239 --> 01:11:58,199
brought that up because I was going to go to

1495
01:11:58,239 --> 01:12:01,119
the NFC, But I do have this on the dockets.

1496
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,000
Lamar takes a stab, rolls out, throws.

1497
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,079
Speaker 8: Patrick Card touchdown Ravens.

1498
01:12:08,159 --> 01:12:13,039
Speaker 1: The Ravens destroy the Broncos eviscerate the Bills win a

1499
01:12:13,039 --> 01:12:16,000
shootout against the Bengals. They take care of business against Commanders,

1500
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,840
but they've also lost the Browns. I got a bad

1501
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,960
loss to the Raiders. They lost to the Chiefs in

1502
01:12:20,039 --> 01:12:22,159
the opening. They you do have the Bengals on a

1503
01:12:22,239 --> 01:12:25,279
Thursday night, Matt, But who are the real Baltimore Ravens.

1504
01:12:25,319 --> 01:12:28,560
The Baltimore Ravens are gonna win that NFC North. Pittsburgh's

1505
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,359
gonna go in as a wild card probably, which then

1506
01:12:31,399 --> 01:12:35,439
means it'll be Pittsburgh against Houston in Houston. No no, no, no, no

1507
01:12:35,279 --> 01:12:38,399
no no no no, no no, no Texans. I would pick

1508
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,920
the Texans to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. TJ Watt, Hello, game,

1509
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,840
Cam Heyward says hello and hello, Kimi Fairmay will not

1510
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,600
hit us upright this week or in that playoff game. No,

1511
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,920
it's true. I think the Texans was a Baltimore playoff

1512
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,600
home game. They beat Pittsburgh at all, I think, well,

1513
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,840
I mean, Russell Wilson's been playing great football. They were

1514
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,279
on a bye last week. That phrasing has not been

1515
01:13:00,319 --> 01:13:03,119
said in about five years. I know, ain't scared, I understand,

1516
01:13:03,199 --> 01:13:06,640
I'm not okay. This is very This is a rare

1517
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,000
change of a changing of the guard. I'm scared. I

1518
01:13:10,039 --> 01:13:12,800
know you so sound like you're scared of everybody in

1519
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,479
the AFC. Are you scared of Baltimore coming here? Absolutely? Yeah?

1520
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,520
So I mean you can't be scared of everybody. Uh

1521
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,560
Khalil Mack and Joey both saw in the Chargers. Yes,

1522
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:25,199
I'm scared of them. The Denver Broncos defense. Yeah, have

1523
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:28,800
you seen this? Texans? Don't worry Damiko Ryans and Nick

1524
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,199
Cassario loved their offensive line. They're not gonna make any moves.

1525
01:13:31,359 --> 01:13:35,319
Well about the three o'clock deadline today, unfortunately, Uh, that

1526
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:39,760
is probably gonna happen. I said, who did I say,

1527
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,720
Alonzo Highsmith? I meant Alex high Smith, Alex high Smith,

1528
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:48,439
T J. Watt, Cam Hayward would feast on this offensive right, Yes?

1529
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:54,600
How about the seven and two Washington Commanders ladled up

1530
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:55,279
towards the edge.

1531
01:13:55,439 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 14: George mcclardy catches that touchy touchyoun watching perfect Daniels.

1532
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,239
Speaker 1: To the farm seven and two atop the NFC East,

1533
01:14:06,279 --> 01:14:10,840
ahead of the Eagles, ahead of the Cowboys. Contender status

1534
01:14:11,239 --> 01:14:14,680
Washington Commanders or pretender status in the NFC. I think

1535
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:19,119
Philadelphia is better than there. They're obviously not better than

1536
01:14:19,159 --> 01:14:26,840
the Alliance. Okay, Commanders or Vikings. Vikings by a smidge.

1537
01:14:27,039 --> 01:14:35,239
I think he goes Detroit one, Philadelphia two, Minnesota three,

1538
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:45,399
Washington four. Atlanta is leading the South, Arizona's leading, Arizona five,

1539
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,479
Green Bay six, Arizona seven, San Francisco. You left out

1540
01:14:49,119 --> 01:14:52,680
I don't know. They're four and four and Arizona got

1541
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,199
another big winning over the weekend. They're also should be

1542
01:14:55,199 --> 01:14:59,560
getting Christian McCaffrey back this week. Yeah, you're right, I'll

1543
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,720
take out the Cardinals and put the Niners in instead.

1544
01:15:02,399 --> 01:15:04,720
NFC is starting to get interesting. He's still better, but

1545
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:07,560
NFC's getting interested. All right, Now, that's your NFLR three one.

1575
01:16:45,239 --> 01:16:48,039
We are with you now ten o'clock until two. We'll

1576
01:16:48,039 --> 01:16:50,319
have a new feature today and it's just called the

1577
01:16:50,359 --> 01:16:53,319
News at Noon. It's nothing crazy, it's just opportunity to

1578
01:16:53,359 --> 01:16:55,319
run through the headlines to day from either what happened

1579
01:16:55,359 --> 01:16:58,359
last night. We could play highlights of Astros games. We

1580
01:16:58,399 --> 01:17:00,239
could play highlights of Rockets games. You know, the Rockets

1581
01:17:00,239 --> 01:17:01,840
announcers pretty good, so you want to play those as

1582
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,840
often as you possibly can. Craig does a great job.

1583
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,680
I mean, he's spectacular. I was on the radio that

1584
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,800
you hear on this radio station. Oh he's fine, he's

1585
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,800
a fine. So well, it gives us a chance to

1586
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:16,159
kind of just reset the show. What's going on, what's happening,

1587
01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:18,720
and we'll call those called the News at Noon, nothing crazy.

1588
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,399
And you're gonna find one offbeat news item for me

1589
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:27,600
to please make sure it's something involving the election today. Okay,

1590
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,520
all right. I was looking at a tweet earlier today.

1591
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,119
Charles Barsky was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show

1592
01:17:35,399 --> 01:17:39,680
and they were you know, Charles has been very outspoken

1593
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,199
about today's athlete and a lot of old school players

1594
01:17:42,199 --> 01:17:45,560
have done that. And he says there are two things

1595
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,159
that are a large part of the reason why the

1596
01:17:48,239 --> 01:17:51,199
NBA continues to have issues with lower viewership and their

1597
01:17:51,319 --> 01:17:55,439
ratings so far, remember very early sample size, Yes, very

1598
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,720
very poor. Okay, I think it'll get better. I always

1599
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,439
think the the NBA numbers this time of year are

1600
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,520
low because you've got college football, pro football. You started

1601
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,239
college basketball yesterday night, that would do a huge dent

1602
01:18:07,319 --> 01:18:09,319
in do it. But you're fresh up the World Series,

1603
01:18:09,319 --> 01:18:11,159
and I just think ultimately college and pro football just

1604
01:18:11,199 --> 01:18:13,920
dominates sports more than any of the other sports combined.

1605
01:18:14,359 --> 01:18:16,800
He says, there are two problems. Number one problem is

1606
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:21,239
you've got a league that is that is heavily focused

1607
01:18:21,279 --> 01:18:24,840
on three point shooting and that the low block game

1608
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,239
is just not part of the offense anymore. I've I

1609
01:18:28,279 --> 01:18:30,119
can see. I mean, obviously I'm in the minority, and

1610
01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:31,760
I don't mind three point shooting, but I think I'm

1611
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:36,079
in a minority. I think there is a bit of

1612
01:18:36,119 --> 01:18:41,960
an issue as to where a lot of times it boils,

1613
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:44,960
every game simply boils down to which team made their threes,

1614
01:18:45,039 --> 01:18:49,880
that team wins. And if that's not saying you're personally

1615
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,119
dumbing it down, but that could be a dumb down

1616
01:18:52,159 --> 01:18:54,119
statement of what the NBA is all about. I can

1617
01:18:54,159 --> 01:18:57,079
get that. I don't bother me because the Rockets are

1618
01:18:57,119 --> 01:18:59,720
down thirty one points in Golden State on Saturday night. Now,

1619
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:01,640
they used the three ball to their advantage, started one

1620
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,199
for ten for three they did. The Warriors were eight

1621
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:06,199
for twelve in the first quarters. So they were down here.

1622
01:19:06,319 --> 01:19:09,439
But they also use their steals and defense, yes, and

1623
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,359
fast break opportunities to get back in the game, not

1624
01:19:12,399 --> 01:19:14,479
relying exclusively on the three. Now, Jabar hit a few,

1625
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,800
but point being is that the three is the great equalizer.

1626
01:19:18,239 --> 01:19:21,560
No game is like in an NBA game in nineteen

1627
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,439
eighty four. If you're down thirty one in the first half,

1628
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,760
there's no chance, no way you're getting back. So to me,

1629
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,199
it doesn't bother me. But the second issue you brought

1630
01:19:30,239 --> 01:19:33,319
up was the most important thing is the load management.

1631
01:19:34,079 --> 01:19:37,880
And you've got you've got salaries rising, I mean unbelievable

1632
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,680
seventy eighty ninety million dollars year, players that are not

1633
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,840
gonna be playing back to backs, and Charles was asked

1634
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,960
about and I'm Gonnam paraphrasing here, how do you control

1635
01:19:46,079 --> 01:19:49,439
load management? You know what his answer was, you play

1636
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:54,119
three to four times a week. Suck it up, Sally, Yes,

1637
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,319
suck it up. And if it means you don't practice

1638
01:19:58,359 --> 01:19:59,720
during the week, if you don't go to a pregame

1639
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,640
show rounds, if you take days off in between, he says,

1640
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,039
most NBA teams play three times a week. There are

1641
01:20:05,079 --> 01:20:07,359
gonna be some times you play four, but the average

1642
01:20:07,359 --> 01:20:09,159
team plays three times a week. If you can't play

1643
01:20:09,199 --> 01:20:10,800
three times a week and you are expecting to make

1644
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,359
eighty five ninety million dollars, you're going to see a

1645
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,399
you're gonna see dropping ticket sales, and you are going

1646
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:22,239
to ultimately see a drop in and ratings of broadcast games,

1647
01:20:22,239 --> 01:20:23,960
of which at least half of them next year will

1648
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:29,239
be on streaming. You if you've got the Lakers playing

1649
01:20:29,279 --> 01:20:31,720
the Bucks and Giannis and Lebron both are not playing

1650
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,159
because of the load management, and that game's on Amazon,

1651
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,079
there ain't no way in the world and the average

1652
01:20:36,119 --> 01:20:38,279
human being's going to go try to find Amazon video

1653
01:20:38,319 --> 01:20:40,680
broadcast of an NBA game that doesn't feature Lebron and

1654
01:20:41,119 --> 01:20:45,520
uh Yannis is was Giannis load managing? Why is he missing?

1655
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:46,399
Is that why he's missing?

1656
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 2: Honest?

1657
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm just using you an example, Okay, I don't know.

1658
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,279
I don't know. So they did try to, and so

1659
01:20:52,359 --> 01:20:54,079
we know what the problem is. The question becomes what's

1660
01:20:54,079 --> 01:20:57,520
the solutions that Charles says, there's no solution except you play.

1661
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:01,079
I think the NBA did a good thing they made

1662
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,760
was sixty five games. You have to play now to

1663
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,920
be eligible for end of the season awards. So if

1664
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,279
you want first team, second third team All NBA. But

1665
01:21:08,319 --> 01:21:10,279
if you've already got the huge contract, if you want,

1666
01:21:10,319 --> 01:21:13,279
it's moot. I think a lot of these players, Matt,

1667
01:21:13,319 --> 01:21:15,239
I think it matters as far as MVPs and all

1668
01:21:15,239 --> 01:21:16,800
that type of stuff. Okay, then one I want to

1669
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,439
see is I want to see a direct correlation to that.

1670
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,439
I want to say. I want to hear an athlete

1671
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,520
say ROSSI that I've got to get the sixty eight

1672
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,439
games because i think I'm worthy of being All first

1673
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:28,239
team or All second team. And I also I'm curious.

1674
01:21:28,279 --> 01:21:30,000
I guess we need to go case by case basis

1675
01:21:30,039 --> 01:21:33,479
of who is load managing. If it's Lebron, First of all,

1676
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,680
Lebron James doesn't want to load manage. It's the trainers

1677
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,039
and the organization telling him he has to. He's he

1678
01:21:40,199 --> 01:21:41,920
or his argument is like, I'm as healthy as any

1679
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,560
twenty two year old out of there, but the way

1680
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,520
that I take care of myself, You're accurate what you

1681
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,399
just said. But he's the face of Lebron. It's the

1682
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,119
no one's gonna go, well, Lebron, we believe you. We're

1683
01:21:53,159 --> 01:21:55,279
sorry that you've got trainers that are trying to treat

1684
01:21:55,279 --> 01:21:57,520
you with kid gloves here. Yeah, but you are your

1685
01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,319
own grown ass man. If they and they, if they

1686
01:21:59,359 --> 01:22:02,760
inactivate them, there's nothing he can do. Lebron's run as

1687
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,439
a general manager the team Lebron wants to play. Lebron's

1688
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,119
gonna play. He wants I mean, I saw the documentary

1689
01:22:09,199 --> 01:22:11,760
on Netflix or like there was He's like he's arguing

1690
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:16,119
with the trainers. He wants to play. So he's also

1691
01:22:16,199 --> 01:22:19,119
thirty nine years old turning for Maybe he's a poor example.

1692
01:22:19,319 --> 01:22:21,960
So that's what I'm saying. So who is load managing?

1693
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 3: Kay?

1694
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean Joel Embiid is load managing? He's got a

1695
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,319
million knee injuries lately, So that feels like okay, then

1696
01:22:29,359 --> 01:22:31,359
you know what, Then if that's the case, you can't

1697
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:35,039
go in and ask the NBA to compensate you for

1698
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:40,119
all these obnoxious contracts if you can't give seventy to

1699
01:22:40,119 --> 01:22:43,319
seventy five games. Yeah, Kawhi Leonard has been load managing.

1700
01:22:43,399 --> 01:22:46,000
He's got like degenerative knee issues that affect him every

1701
01:22:46,039 --> 01:22:48,319
single year. Like Steven Adams load managers right now for

1702
01:22:48,359 --> 01:22:51,079
the Rockets. Steven Adams is a is the backup center

1703
01:22:51,279 --> 01:22:52,680
and a guy wh's been the league for eleven twelve

1704
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,960
years ain't gonna break the bank. I can totally get that.

1705
01:22:55,119 --> 01:22:57,960
And nobody's nobody's buying well, unless you're from New Zealand. Literally,

1706
01:22:58,039 --> 01:23:00,319
if New Zealand's got a strong contingent, maybe you're right.

1707
01:23:00,319 --> 01:23:03,199
You're right about that. You're not buying tickets. It's interesting

1708
01:23:03,199 --> 01:23:06,159
the first time I've seen an athlete ex athlete, obviously

1709
01:23:06,199 --> 01:23:10,039
with Charles say, there is no answer. You want to

1710
01:23:10,079 --> 01:23:13,920
be a top ten, compensated player, top fifteen, top twenty,

1711
01:23:15,279 --> 01:23:17,039
you've got to play now. The only player that I

1712
01:23:17,039 --> 01:23:21,279
can remember that I've covered called games for that was

1713
01:23:21,279 --> 01:23:24,000
making obscene amounts of money and yet wanted to play

1714
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,119
all the time. And I appreciated that was James Harden.

1715
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,079
A lot of things you could criticize James for. James

1716
01:23:29,239 --> 01:23:31,720
always wanted to play and James would be a questionable

1717
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,880
going into games, and James would go out there and

1718
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:35,399
warm up before the start of the games and he

1719
01:23:35,399 --> 01:23:38,640
would go. So for all the criticism that Harden received

1720
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,079
here in Houston, obviously the ability to want to play,

1721
01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:44,520
he I mean, there were just nights that he said, no,

1722
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:46,359
I'm gonna go. I don't want to go, but I'm

1723
01:23:46,359 --> 01:23:48,600
going to go. Yeah, And I think that's what Charles

1724
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,439
Barkley is saying is sometimes you don't want to do it,

1725
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,119
you gotta do it if you want to be in

1726
01:23:52,159 --> 01:23:56,079
that super high echellent salary. So I guess the question

1727
01:23:56,199 --> 01:23:59,800
is Embiid and Kawhi would be the two greatest examples.

1728
01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:03,399
Now guys that are load managing. That are the superstar,

1729
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,880
super highly compensated players that probably could play but are not.

1730
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,680
And they they've been hurt every playoffs. It seems like

1731
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,960
both of those so basically legacy. You could so at

1732
01:24:15,039 --> 01:24:16,920
first the point you could load manage it, it doesn't

1733
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,760
pay off. In April, yeah, I mean, the NBA sent

1734
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,479
a report. They sent a report to all the teams.

1735
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,479
The NBA is trying Adam Silver. They they made the

1736
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,880
player of Participation policy where they're trying to get players

1737
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:31,159
to play, and they also they had doctors. They commissioned

1738
01:24:31,159 --> 01:24:33,880
a report, and these doctors sent this report to the

1739
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:38,439
teams saying, load management we can't say for a fact

1740
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,800
that it helps, but we also can't say that it hurt.

1741
01:24:42,199 --> 01:24:45,039
Excuse that it hurts, but we can't it doesn't help. Yeah,

1742
01:24:45,359 --> 01:24:48,119
they're finding that the injury frequency is about the same

1743
01:24:48,399 --> 01:24:55,239
load management or not. Yeah. How many players are we

1744
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,359
legitimately worried about this? Yeah, I think it's not as

1745
01:24:58,359 --> 01:25:01,520
many as we think, really, but it's just a sumer.

1746
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,800
Jason Tatam's not load managing. Nikol Yoakic is not load managing.

1747
01:25:05,079 --> 01:25:08,039
Jalen Green. Nobody in the Rockets load Steven Adams, No,

1748
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:13,199
he's the only one. Are they Shake Gill just Alexander

1749
01:25:13,239 --> 01:25:15,000
Like I'm trying to think of star player Luka Doncic

1750
01:25:15,079 --> 01:25:17,600
is not is not load managing. He just can play,

1751
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,000
manages a lot. It feels like ninety ninety five percent

1752
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,560
of star players are not. Donovan Mitchell's not load managing

1753
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,720
Jaylen Brown. I mean, yeah, so maybe he's just speaking

1754
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,000
in wide. Maybe he's you know, what he's doing. He's

1755
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,399
basically pointing out KWHI, that's what he's doing. Yeah, he's

1756
01:25:31,399 --> 01:25:33,960
got he's got degenerati knee issues and he's hurt all

1757
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,439
the time. In that particular case, then it's up to

1758
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:38,800
the teams to say, we love you, but we can't

1759
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,560
pay you oubnoxious amounts of cash for you not to play.

1760
01:25:42,079 --> 01:25:44,640
The News at Noon is next eleven to fifty eight

1761
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,000

election days day in Little Lie. Make sure you take

1772
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,960
your umbrella. At twenty five percent, you had to ray

1773
01:26:29,359 --> 01:26:30,920
in the center of the city. Count Are you like

01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,520
this this theme song for the News and Noon? I

1775
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,520
don't think it's bad. I mean it's two thirds vote

1776
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,960
majority here, so if it is the one I chose, So,

1777
01:26:40,119 --> 01:26:42,920
I mean, if you don't like it's the Matt Thomas show.

1778
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,079
No no, no, no, no, no, no no, it's two thirds, he says, yes,

1779
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:48,479
you say yes, we'll keep it. Then we can still

1780
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,319
try and improve. If you find something, we'll try and

1781
01:26:50,319 --> 01:26:54,000
find different things. We'll try another one. Uh tomorrow, tomorrow, Yeah,

1782
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,560
we got Look, we just figured out we're doing this

1783
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,119
show twenty three hours ago. So trust me, we had

1784
01:26:58,159 --> 01:27:00,239
no idea what we were having a four hour show after

1785
01:27:00,279 --> 01:27:03,840
the show yesterday. So we're trying this. But a new

1786
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,640
feature of the show every day at noon is we

1787
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,880
want to recap what we saw from last night. Things

1788
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:09,359
were talked about in the show, so we present to

1789
01:27:09,399 --> 01:27:13,079
you the news at noon. Okay, I'm really gonna try

1790
01:27:13,079 --> 01:27:16,520
not to do a TV guy voice. That's part of

1791
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,880
the challenge on this is challenge. You're bad. Oh no, okay,

1792
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,520
I'm sorry. Okay. So some trades made in the NFL

1793
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,119
mat unfortunately not in Houston. I will run them down

1794
01:27:27,239 --> 01:27:30,720
for you for it. With Zach Moss Houston Toro down

1795
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:35,359
with his injury, the Bengals have traded for Khalil Herbert.

1796
01:27:36,359 --> 01:27:39,239
That's a sixth Excuse me, uh, he was a sixth

1797
01:27:39,279 --> 01:27:41,880
round pick. I don't know what the compensation exactly was

1798
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:45,199
on that one, but Khalil Herbert is now going to

1799
01:27:45,239 --> 01:27:48,600
be a Cincinnati Bingal. This is bad for the Texans.

1800
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:52,560
Zadarius Smith, good edge rusher for the Cleveland Browns, is

1801
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,359
now a Detroit line He'll be in uniform, I'm sure

1802
01:27:55,359 --> 01:27:59,279
for Sunday's game down at NRG Stadium. That's the bad news. Yes,

1803
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,720
that is the bad news. I do not have compensation

1804
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,399
on that one and the story that I have either,

1805
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,800
but this is the one that's funny to me. Cowboys

1806
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:13,199
trading a fourth rounder getting back a seventh and Jonathan Mingo.

1807
01:28:14,279 --> 01:28:17,920
I mean, they're losing games, their quarterback is possibly going

1808
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,680
to go on ir with that hamstring injury, and they

1809
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:27,359
trade for Jonathan Mingo and they give away more compensation

1810
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,000
than they got in the Amari Cooper trade a couple

1811
01:28:30,039 --> 01:28:31,920
of years ago. I'm asking a question, and I mean

1812
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,199
this in all sincerity. Why is everybody else making moves

1813
01:28:34,239 --> 01:28:36,800
and the Texans can't do it? Because all teams are

1814
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:41,079
probably strapped financially with the salary cap. The Texans actually

1815
01:28:41,159 --> 01:28:44,560
have lower, much more lower round capital than other teams do.

1816
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,760
And now, now that's a great question, Matt. And it's

1817
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:50,840
not that we're not trying to make deals. It's about

1818
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,640
finding the right deal for us. And you know, I

1819
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,319
talk a lot of teams, and it's about compensation, it's

1820
01:28:56,319 --> 01:28:59,279
about contracts, it's about salary cap, and and it's also

1821
01:28:59,279 --> 01:29:01,920
about fit with the so a lot of factors in play.

1822
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:03,960
And the bottom line is, we do believe in the

1823
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,119
guys that we do have in the building. I feel

1824
01:29:06,159 --> 01:29:07,640
like we've got a lot of good players on this

1825
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,880
team that we have who can step in in the

1826
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,720
place of Kenyon Green. So do we want to improve

1827
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,000
the team, yes, do we want to do it at

1828
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,880
a great cost? No, So we have to toe that

1829
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,199
line and find the right deal that makes sense for us.

1830
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,800
The three previous years for the Texans under general manager

1831
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:29,520
Nick Cassio, they've only made one deadline deal. If you

1832
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:35,680
get this, you're it's a running back. And the Texans

1833
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,880
didn't give a player, get a player. They gave up

1834
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,520
a player. I don't remember mark ingram goes back to

1835
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,239
the Saints. Yeah, I remember that. To you say it,

1836
01:29:43,239 --> 01:29:47,479
but I wouldn't have got that. Okay, So teams are

1837
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:49,720
making deals. What time is the deadline matter? Do we

1838
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:52,800
have aqu three o'clock? Three pm? We will not be

1839
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,079
on ears. I was about to say, well we were almost.

1840
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,399
You know, the song sounds better than I thought. It'll

1841
01:29:57,399 --> 01:29:59,319
fall in the lapse of Adam and Adam. I mean

1842
01:29:59,359 --> 01:30:02,760
we're used to that. That's fine, Okay, So no deals

1843
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:06,520
made there. Now, let's keep it moving. On the news

1844
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:10,920
at noon, Jason Kelsey, Remember Matt, did you end up

1845
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,399
seeing the video and then smashing the guy's phone and

1846
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:16,720
then picking it up as he was calling his brother

1847
01:30:17,279 --> 01:30:20,479
a gayesler? That starts with an F for dating Taylor Swift,

1848
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:22,840
which doesn't make any sense in the first place. I

1849
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:26,479
think they're very heterosexual. Jason Kelsey on Monday Night Football,

1850
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:27,800
issuing an apology.

1851
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 15: I'm not happy with anything it took place. I'm not

1852
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:34,600
proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to

1853
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,920
greet hate with hate, and I just don't think that

1854
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:41,119
that's a productive thing. I really don't. I don't think that,

1855
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:44,880
you know, it leads to discourse and it's the right

1856
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,760
way to go about things, and in that moment I

1857
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,600
fell down to a level that I shouldn't have. So

1858
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,239
I think the bottom line is, you know, I want

1859
01:30:53,279 --> 01:30:55,079
to live my life. I try to live my life

1860
01:30:55,359 --> 01:30:57,560
by the Golden rule. That's what I've always been taught.

1861
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:01,800
I try to treat people with common respect, and I'm

1862
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,960
going to keep doing that moving forward. Even though this past,

1863
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,319
even though I fell short this week, Good for.

1864
01:31:08,399 --> 01:31:14,520
Speaker 1: Him Soft everybody was rooting for Jason Kelce when that happened,

1865
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:16,880
and he was living by the Golden rule that guy.

1866
01:31:17,119 --> 01:31:19,199
He was treating that guy the way he was treating him.

1867
01:31:19,319 --> 01:31:21,800
So what is the golden rule? Technically? And treat others

1868
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,680
how you want to be treated. And I think he

1869
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,560
is saying that I don't want to condone violence and

1870
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:29,680
words with other forms of violence and work. Is this

1871
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,159
Jason Kelsey saying this or was he pushed that way

1872
01:31:32,199 --> 01:31:35,760
by Disney exact? He was absolutely one d pushed by ESPN.

1873
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:40,840
You don't want a network employee throwing down phones or

1874
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:44,680
doing anything except smiling pretty on camera and saying funny things.

1875
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,039
I would agree with that, but also, some punk kid

1876
01:31:47,119 --> 01:31:50,319
calling your brother a slur for dating the most famous

1877
01:31:50,359 --> 01:31:54,239
woman in the planet is ridiculous. Behavior, and I'm sick

1878
01:31:54,279 --> 01:31:57,159
of these kids going over the line and be like

1879
01:31:57,279 --> 01:32:01,600
people taking shots at me on Twitter and me respect.

1880
01:32:02,039 --> 01:32:05,039
You're matching their energy. I think, how if you pulled

1881
01:32:05,039 --> 01:32:07,720
a thousand people, how many were upset with what Jason

1882
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:12,319
Kelsey did? It should be zero? Yeah, but I hadn't

1883
01:32:13,119 --> 01:32:17,359
all right? Moving along with the news at Noon, big

1884
01:32:17,399 --> 01:32:19,760
win last at a Tona Center. Oh oh, you just

1885
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:21,840
look at Matt is shoving this box score in my

1886
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:23,960
face because he wants his own highlight. No, if you

1887
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:28,479
were no, I don't want to no, no, no sets

1888
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,600
the screen green doesn't take it right side angle trying

1889
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,000
to get bike Brunston Jalen contested three. It is odd.

1890
01:32:35,239 --> 01:32:35,800
It's god.

1891
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:42,199
Speaker 8: Two triples in the fourth quarter the only threes he's

1892
01:32:42,239 --> 01:32:44,439
got all night long. And it couldn't have come in

1893
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:49,039
a better time. Rockets one oh five, next ninety seven?

1894
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: Didn't you have to play? It was good. I'm just

1895
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:55,880
saying the News and Noon doesn't have Matt just wants

1896
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:57,920
his man, wants his own calls after every game and

1897
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,960
News and New, I'm figuring out the rules here. Were

1898
01:33:00,319 --> 01:33:01,680
you think of Robert Ford did a show, he would

1899
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,319
have won his own calls. I don't know, I'd probably not.

1900
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,199
I'll ask him mix time, I say some of the

1901
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,600
he's a big Knicks fan. I'm not happy last night. Actually,

1902
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,239
it's the new contract for the show. We have to

1903
01:33:10,239 --> 01:33:12,840
play a Matt highlight every segment. He's demanded it. And

1904
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,960
that's just how we have mean that doesn't sound of terrible,

1905
01:33:15,039 --> 01:33:17,319
it's just okay, one O nine to ninety seven. The

1906
01:33:17,399 --> 01:33:20,640
Rockets to get the victory, and then Thompson defense great

1907
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,359
Aubry ching Goon twenty five and fourteen and the Rockets

1908
01:33:24,359 --> 01:33:26,720
improved to four and three on the air and San

1909
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:30,560
Antonio coming in on Wednesday, then a very difficult matchup

1910
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,720
with Oklahoma City on Friday, and then a piece of

1911
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:36,079
cake against Detroit on Sunday afternoon. Me strange. Detroit Houston

1912
01:33:36,079 --> 01:33:41,399
played each other in two sports in the same day. Wow, incredible,

1913
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:46,439
And they will go one in one two and oh no,

1914
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,399
I'm just kidding. I may that I don't want in one.

1915
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:51,880
Let me tell you beat Detroit with the way they've

1916
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:53,600
been playing the last month and a half or actually

1917
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,640
this entire season, that would be ten times more impressive

1918
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:01,239
than beating Buffalo three point dogs in night games generally

1919
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,520
pretty good play. But I'm also scared of three times

1920
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,960
do road teams typically went on Sunday nights? Not not

1921
01:34:09,079 --> 01:34:13,039
a lot, not a lot. I mean, hello, the Colts

1922
01:34:13,039 --> 01:34:16,319
were like up at the half against the Vikings on Sunday,

1923
01:34:16,359 --> 01:34:18,319
but then the Colts Joe Flacco looked like he was

1924
01:34:18,359 --> 01:34:22,079
fifty three. Well also, I mean that Vikings defense is incredible,

1925
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,840
and well, Joe Flacco did probably about as good as

1926
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,319
Anthony Richardson would have. They lost Acond lastly on the

1927
01:34:27,319 --> 01:34:30,359
news at noon. That's it, okay, Well unless you went

1928
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:32,199
I had one more thing. If you really want to

1929
01:34:32,199 --> 01:34:35,359
get to you just want to Garrett Cole opted out

1930
01:34:35,359 --> 01:34:37,720
of his deal. Yes, then the Yankees would have to

1931
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,880
attack on another year of his contract to keep him.

1932
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,560
And then somehow they're saying together on the original deal

1933
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,640
that he opted out of. So four years, one hundred

1934
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,720
and forty four million dollars for Pete's sake left on

1935
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:52,720
Garrett Cole. And we try to reach out to Garrett

1936
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:55,039
Coleder congratulate on le deal. I think he's sick of

1937
01:34:55,079 --> 01:34:57,680
talking to you, very upset. He had back to back

1938
01:34:57,680 --> 01:34:59,640
appearances on this show and it was none too pleased

1939
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:03,479
about it. And that's the news at noon. Yes, now

1940
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:05,680
sometimes when Ross and we had more time for this,

1941
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,199
because I'll give you a wacky store, a little wacky store.

1942
01:35:08,239 --> 01:35:11,720
I'm sorry, sorry, and it give me I did find one? Actually,

1943
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:13,199
do you want to real quick? Yeah? Go ahead. A

1944
01:35:13,319 --> 01:35:15,880
woman is going viral for explaining her date with a

1945
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,800
forty five year old who left one dollars on the

1946
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:22,600
table and walked out after she ordered lamb chops, oysters

1947
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,159
and crab fried rice while he only ordered a drink.

1948
01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:32,640
How did you find that story? Marstool Mortz okay, and

1949
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:37,600
they've always got seleshy stuff. Yeah, and guess what I clicked?

1950
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:42,039
What was it? A first date? Yes, I'm walking out.

1951
01:35:43,319 --> 01:35:46,079
She's ordering oysters and crab fried rice and in the

1952
01:35:46,159 --> 01:35:49,600
lamb chops. That's that's the don't you typically have Connor?

1953
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:53,039
You're your single among those us group here, you uh

1954
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,399
try to order light on your first date, right, you

1955
01:35:55,399 --> 01:35:56,840
don't try to show off what you can eat or

1956
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,840
the right? Yeah, because I know I'm paying, I'm gonna

1957
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:02,720
order or light. No, no, no, no, I wouldn't No, I

1958
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:04,640
wouldn't wory about the costs. I'd be worrying about ordering

1959
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,680
like a like if I ordered a big prime rib,

1960
01:36:08,399 --> 01:36:10,319
she's like, this guy's a pig. Like when I was

1961
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:12,199
when I was dating, when I was fat, I was

1962
01:36:12,319 --> 01:36:14,760
ordered salads and they would look at me and going, man,

1963
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,560
you're the one ordering double big Max when you leave

1964
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,920
the date. So my rule on first dates is you

1965
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:22,560
don't need anything with your hands. Oh this guy, Look

1966
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:25,720
at this guy. Now you eat the eat the double

1967
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,199
big Mac before Matt. That way, you're already kind of

1968
01:36:29,239 --> 01:36:31,520
you're not super hungry for that meal, so you don't

1969
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:33,680
pick out. Oh so you're saying, like, eat it five

1970
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:35,399
o'clock for the seven o'clock if you got a seven

1971
01:36:35,399 --> 01:36:38,039
o'clock at least, because I'm kind of snack. I'm not saying,

1972
01:36:38,039 --> 01:36:39,760
gorge yourself because then you're gonna throw up in the

1973
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,760
middle of the meal. Yeah, all right, that would be

1974
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:45,399
my tip. That's the News at Noon, Thank you. I

1975
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,840
kind of like the segment and the music kind of

1976
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:49,239
grew on me. By the way, one hundred and fifty

1977
01:36:49,319 --> 01:36:52,399
nine dollars tab and the guy left her one hundred dollars.

1978
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,439
He only had a sixteen dollars Old fashion left her

1979
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:58,640
a hundred and pieced out that's generous. I just left,

1980
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,880
so there was no sun, no second date. I'm assuming

1981
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,760
at this point, all right, Uh, when we return, are

1982
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:09,600
you concerned that we're hearing no buzz about Texans making

1983
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,880

Speaker 4: This is the Matt Thomas Show twelve twenty.

2004
01:38:33,319 --> 01:38:35,399
Speaker 1: It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. We are

2005
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,119
now with you every day between ten and two o'clock.

2006
01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:42,319
We had a station change. Unfortunately, we are going to

2007
01:38:42,319 --> 01:38:47,560
miss our man staying northfully tremendously. He is no longer

2008
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:49,279
with the station. We had to move all the shows

2009
01:38:49,279 --> 01:38:52,039
around a little bit. Unfortunately, our parent company did a

2010
01:38:52,119 --> 01:38:57,960
reduction in workforce nationwide, which yeah, luckily for us, didn't

2011
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:00,199
hit Houston as hard as hit other areas. Lot of

2012
01:39:00,239 --> 01:39:01,800
shows and a lot of different cities, both in the

2013
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:04,279
music dial on the FM side, amside that were cut

2014
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:07,079
released a lot of long time AOL sports, a lot

2015
01:39:07,079 --> 01:39:11,119
of sports. So feel terrible. And as I've told that,

2016
01:39:11,159 --> 01:39:13,439
and we mentioned ten o'clock today, worth repeating one more time.

2017
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,680
We really enjoyed working with Stan. He was so fun.

2018
01:39:17,119 --> 01:39:21,239
We love to bust each other's Cojones Chops chops, that's

2019
01:39:21,279 --> 01:39:27,039
the PG friendly version. And I give him this and

2020
01:39:27,079 --> 01:39:30,520
I'll say this, and I hope Stan's listening. It is

2021
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:32,680
not easy, and I've done this in two different places.

2022
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,199
It is not easy to go to a market in

2023
01:39:36,199 --> 01:39:38,199
which you do not know now. Stan lived here for

2024
01:39:38,239 --> 01:39:40,159
a while many many moons ago, but was never in

2025
01:39:40,159 --> 01:39:44,039
the media business. It is not easy to go into

2026
01:39:44,079 --> 01:39:45,920
a radio show in a market that you're not from

2027
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:47,680
and you didn't grow up with. I did it in

2028
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:49,119
Salt Lake City for a couple of years. I did

2029
01:39:49,159 --> 01:39:50,920
at Minneapolis for three years and then chose to come

2030
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,159
back to Houston in twenty ten. To get ingrained with

2031
01:39:55,239 --> 01:39:58,239
a community that lives and breathes the local sports teams

2032
01:39:58,239 --> 01:40:00,279
when you're not from it, it's very difficult, takes a

2033
01:40:00,279 --> 01:40:04,319
lot of time, but stand to his credit one hundred

2034
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,840
percent went full throttle into learning as much as he

2035
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,199
did about the local teams as he could. Doesn't mean

2036
01:40:10,239 --> 01:40:12,039
you had to agree with every one of his takes.

2037
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,279
Doesn't mean that maybe he and I would argue about

2038
01:40:15,279 --> 01:40:19,039
a variety of things he would say, But that man

2039
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:25,119
put in the time. There are so many lazy, non

2040
01:40:25,239 --> 01:40:30,800
talented mailing in people in our industry that didn't put

2041
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,479
the time into becoming a good radio host. And stand

2042
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:37,479
did that. So Stan, if you're listening, uh, we still

2043
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:42,319
have our bet number two, you'll be missed number three.

2044
01:40:42,399 --> 01:40:44,199
You know, I know people across this country have been

2045
01:40:44,279 --> 01:40:45,720
very fortunate to be in this business a long period

2046
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:47,119
of time. And he knows that he can find me

2047
01:40:47,119 --> 01:40:49,680
anytime he wants to, and I can put any recommendations

2048
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:52,680
I can in and he will be missed. And like

2049
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,920
I said, we did not know of this change until

2050
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:57,239
we got off the air yesterday. In fact, the boys

2051
01:40:57,239 --> 01:40:59,000
in front of us and behind us knew of it,

2052
01:40:59,199 --> 01:41:01,239
but were told by our boss is not saying anything

2053
01:41:01,279 --> 01:41:04,119
to us until we spoke with him. So when we

2054
01:41:04,560 --> 01:41:07,079
heard about the decision in the reduction new workforce by

2055
01:41:07,079 --> 01:41:09,720
the parent company, the things are gonna be all moved around,

2056
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,479
we were literally the last ones to know. So Stan,

2057
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:16,239
we're gonna miss you. And uh, hopefully you will get

2058
01:41:16,359 --> 01:41:18,119
the back in front of a microphone in the not

2059
01:41:18,159 --> 01:41:24,800
too distant future, perfectly said, I no notes, I back everything.

2060
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,079
Matt just said. There you go seven one three, two,

2061
01:41:27,159 --> 01:41:29,560
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one

2062
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,119
two five seven nine zero get believe it or not

2063
01:41:32,199 --> 01:41:33,960
today coming up at one fifty, that's gonna be hard

2064
01:41:34,119 --> 01:41:38,720
and again a lot of our funny oh okay, which

2065
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,520
you're gonna throw the two fifty crowd off because there

2066
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:41,720
are a lot of people that were just tuning in

2067
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:44,039
for that are going to be so shocked when they

2068
01:41:44,119 --> 01:41:45,920
are Adam and Adam. They're not gonna know what to do.

2069
01:41:46,119 --> 01:41:48,199
They're gonna be calling Dan like, yeah, I'm calling for

2070
01:41:48,279 --> 01:41:53,279
believe it or not? Did what now? Huh Okay, They're

2071
01:41:53,279 --> 01:41:55,399
gonna have to readjust their clocks. They're gonna be on

2072
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,680
mountain time. Let's talk to some people. Let's say hi

2073
01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,840
to uh Travis and Katie. Then we'll go back to

2074
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,239
our question what you're brought up about. Are you, as

2075
01:42:02,239 --> 01:42:05,159
a Texan fan, concerned that you're not hearing the trade

2076
01:42:05,199 --> 01:42:07,880
winds of blowing? Speaking of that, we do have a

2077
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,279
trade in the NFL. Real quick, go ahead. Mike Williams

2078
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:16,319
receiver receiver traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers from the New

2079
01:42:16,359 --> 01:42:21,840
York Jets. It's a fifth round pick to the Jets. Okay,

2080
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:23,680
so mich Williams. So the Steelers are trying to get

2081
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:27,680
better because they think they're gonna make a plaoff push. Yeah,

2082
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:30,840
they needed they needed WR two with George Pickens is

2083
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:34,560
good but yeah, and Jefferson, but Pickens is even largely

2084
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,399
inconsistent too. Pickens has been good since since he got

2085
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,680
a better quarterback, that's true, and when since he's not

2086
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:44,520
walking off the field. Travis and Katie on seveninety High. Travis, Hey,

2087
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,680
how you doing, Matt Good time listener, friends time. How's

2088
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:51,560
it going over there to hear about all that stuff?

2089
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:53,079
I understand? Thank you.

2090
01:42:54,399 --> 01:42:59,039
Speaker 12: Anyways, So, the Dallas Cowboys made a trade today for

2091
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:02,800
Johnathan Mingo, and I'm pretty upset about it. You know,

2092
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:06,199
I don't understand why they would give up a fourth

2093
01:43:06,279 --> 01:43:11,279
rounder for such a diminishing return. But I had a

2094
01:43:11,399 --> 01:43:16,239
question for you guys personally. Do you guys think that

2095
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:20,319
Jerry Jones read Jonathan Mingo and thought it was that

2096
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:21,800
Jonathan man Dingo.

2097
01:43:22,319 --> 01:43:23,319
Speaker 9: I'll hang up and listen.

2098
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:30,279
Speaker 1: Was that Trey? I don't know, but there's always a

2099
01:43:30,359 --> 01:43:35,840
key asset part of the show. My ears perked up

2100
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,960
the start of that. I was like, yeah, when you

2101
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:45,319
go to the long time, first time, Trey, I was

2102
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,079
wondering in the middle of that if it was Trey.

2103
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,720
So I'm not sure if it was If it was

2104
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,720
Trey shout out to Trey, But no, I don't think

2105
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:58,399
he was trading for a male porn star, although probably

2106
01:43:58,439 --> 01:43:59,920
I don't know. Jerry Jones is a fan. I don't

2107
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:03,159
yeah what he does in his own world. I'm not

2108
01:44:03,239 --> 01:44:08,640
here to judge. I'm texting him right now. Yeah, if

2109
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:11,560
that was Tree, he's an apology. We've only promoted his

2110
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:16,159
his comedy career. By the way, do you how about

2111
01:44:16,239 --> 01:44:19,119
kill Tony going up in that that Trump rally and

2112
01:44:19,159 --> 01:44:23,000
nobody knowing who kill Tony is? I love kill Tony. Well,

2113
01:44:23,079 --> 01:44:26,159
what happened? So kill Tony was up at the President

2114
01:44:26,319 --> 01:44:29,920
Trump rally? Why because he was like a comedian and

2115
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,920
he brought up some jokes unfortunately about Puerto Rico, and

2116
01:44:33,319 --> 01:44:35,760
it was he was being what he has a roaster,

2117
01:44:36,159 --> 01:44:39,000
taking in jabs at everybody. Why he had a political rally,

2118
01:44:39,039 --> 01:44:40,720
that's my I don't know. I don't know they think

2119
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,079
about it, but nobody knew who he was, so they

2120
01:44:43,119 --> 01:44:45,359
just kept just keep calling him the comedian that was

2121
01:44:45,399 --> 01:44:47,399
so out of touch and wrong, and I was like,

2122
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,439
that's kill Tony, That's what kill Tony does. Trump didn't

2123
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,239
even know who kill Tony was, then, why did he

2124
01:44:52,279 --> 01:44:55,159
have him up there. It wasn't his call. He says, well,

2125
01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:58,159
whose call was it? He said, hey, let's bring up

2126
01:44:58,359 --> 01:45:02,039
let's bring up a roaster who insults everybody's nationality and

2127
01:45:02,079 --> 01:45:04,840
ethnicity as a joke. And again, if you go to

2128
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:06,479
a kil Tony event, you know that kil Tony is

2129
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:10,119
gonna make fun of people. It was just an odd situation. Hmm,

2130
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:14,840
all right, sorry about that. I just was like, our boy,

2131
01:45:15,079 --> 01:45:17,359
our guy Tray has been on kill Tony a few times.

2132
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:20,159
So yeah, I don't know he's claiming it wasn't him,

2133
01:45:20,279 --> 01:45:23,119
or he says he just gave me a what Maybe

2134
01:45:23,159 --> 01:45:24,520
it wasn't he's in Austin. I don't know. What do

2135
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,039
you have called the show on that? Maybe? Who knows?

2136
01:45:27,119 --> 01:45:30,640
He's a Cowboys fan? All right? Uh so to recap

2137
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,600
quickly here and we gotta give a quick time out.

2138
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:36,079
We've got one minute here. Are we nervous that the

2139
01:45:36,119 --> 01:45:37,840
Texans are gonna sit back? And are we? Are we

2140
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:39,760
gonna be okay? Because you are a battle red ross.

2141
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:42,039
I'm not better read Matt. Okay, So what's the question?

2142
01:45:42,079 --> 01:45:44,479
My question is how concerned are you that they're gonna

2143
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:48,199
stand pat and that are they doing this because they

2144
01:45:48,199 --> 01:45:50,279
don't want to give up draft commodity. They don't think

2145
01:45:50,279 --> 01:45:53,720
there's generally anybody out there, or they think that this

2146
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:59,359
is the best we can possibly get in Nick, we trust.

2147
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:03,560
It's made one trade since the deadline, and it was

2148
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:07,479
trading mark Ingram to New Orleans. He's never acquired anybody

2149
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:12,319
at the deadline. You're nervous, Nelly, I would like a receiver.

2150
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:19,000
You're like alignment, You're nervous. But Kenyan Green out. He's

2151
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,720
the worst guard in football, So they're gonna be better.

2152
01:46:22,199 --> 01:46:24,479
I think so. Jared Patterson's supposed to fix all this.

2153
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:27,600
You are Kendrick Green. Are you sure you feel Green?

2154
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:31,560
Or Jared Patterson can make can be will be better? Okay?

2155
01:46:32,760 --> 01:46:34,520
Am I excited about it? No?

2156
01:46:35,399 --> 01:46:35,520
Speaker 2: Am?

2157
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:39,319

2158
01:46:39,359 --> 01:46:45,840
All Pro loading No, okay, I would rather have seen

2159
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:49,520
a receiver. Really, Adam Feeling's available if you want him. Oh,

2160
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,119
thirty three year old Adam Thielen who's been hurt all year,

2161
01:46:52,680 --> 01:47:03,439

01:50:22,399 --> 01:50:24,239
very much. I appreciate that. ROSSI means a lot coming

2230
01:50:24,239 --> 01:50:29,279
from you, all right? Uh so ESPN has their projections

2231
01:50:29,319 --> 01:50:32,000
of a of the free agents. Oh can I say

2232
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:33,840
one more quick trade that happened in the NFL that

2233
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:39,000
didn't involve the Texas. Go ahead, go ahead. Marshawn Latimore, cornerback,

2234
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:45,039
four time Pro bowler, traded to the Washington Commanders New Orleans,

2235
01:50:45,039 --> 01:50:49,319
getting a third round pick and a fourth round pick.

2236
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:50,359
Is Gardio kay on this?

2237
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:51,079
Speaker 6: Sure?

2238
01:50:51,079 --> 01:50:52,800
Speaker 1: He's a I don't think he's going to be great.

2239
01:50:53,199 --> 01:50:58,600
Third and fourth to the Saints. Washington gets Marshawn Latimore

2240
01:50:58,600 --> 01:51:03,079
and a fifth Okay, So again, these are deals involving

2241
01:51:03,119 --> 01:51:06,479
players who recognize now they could be passer primer getting there.

2242
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:10,920
But at least these these contending teams Latimar's twenty eight. Yeah,

2243
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,760
I mean they're they're contending teams that want to get better.

2244
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,720
A third and fourth is pretty steep. Tomorrow, I'm gonna

2245
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,399
make it. I'm gonna say your little lake gut feeling

2246
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:20,840
right now. Tomorrow people are gonna call this show and

2247
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:22,800
are gonna be unhappy with that. The Texans didn't do anything.

2248
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:27,159
That's fine. Fans don't run the team. But we've seen

2249
01:51:27,359 --> 01:51:32,000
in baseball locker rooms, clubhouses, when teams don't make trades.

2250
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:34,600
That there's a small segment and say all right, it's

2251
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:36,880
us against the world. Let's go. Yeah, and there's also

2252
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:39,720
large segal there's also a large segment, says man. We

2253
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,159
ain't good enough. Don't what this general manager's not doing here?

2254
01:51:43,199 --> 01:51:47,520
CJ strout. Let's if we can call CJ right now. Okay,

2255
01:51:48,119 --> 01:51:50,880
he wants an additional alignment. He wants an additional slot

2256
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,800
receiver too. I'm sure he would want both or no

2257
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:57,520
outside receiver. No, I'm thinking about fields. What I'm thinking about. Okay,

2258
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,680
you got feeling on the mind. What you want? Mike Williams, see,

2259
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,840
I don't, not really, Mike Williams washed. That's I'm saying.

2260
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:06,960
The guy and the reason why IM bringing up Thealding

2261
01:52:07,079 --> 01:52:08,359
m is because he's the name that I see that

2262

I gotta read this is off my phone. Look, we're

2269
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:38,079
trying to get a word of the mantra of us

2270
01:52:38,119 --> 01:52:41,760
being a giggle fast showing you helpen the callus. I'm sorry, sorry,

2271
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:43,680
we like to have fun on the show. Coach Kurt

2272
01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:45,359
the Douche says, we're a giggle. If you wanted to

2273
01:52:45,359 --> 01:52:47,159
scream at each other for two hours, is just thinking

2274
01:52:47,279 --> 01:52:50,399
happen for four hours. The fifth most prolific free agent

2275
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,279
in this off season twenty twenty four markt is Alex

2276
01:52:53,319 --> 01:52:57,359
bregmant what, Yeah, I'm assuming this is number five. I

2277
01:52:57,399 --> 01:53:00,359
got this off at two fifth. I thought you said most. Sorry,

2278
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:07,039
he said fifth most, the fifth most sought after for age. Yeah,

2279
01:53:07,039 --> 01:53:09,560
I missed. My brain skipped over fifth. I was like

2280
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:13,920
most more than one sewed up. Okay reading This is

2281
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:17,000
what ESPN has to say. We wrote this passing or

2282
01:53:17,039 --> 01:53:19,239
some other geomo no no, I got this off a

2283
01:53:19,279 --> 01:53:22,119
tweet from Michael Schwab. I think he didn't write it.

2284
01:53:22,159 --> 01:53:24,760
This is he didn't write. He was not on pacing

2285
01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:27,880
things here. Bragman seems to be the primary target of

2286
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:33,840
the Astros. That's a good sign check and the Washington

2287
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:38,359
Nationals a very widely rumored landing spot for him. Two

2288
01:53:38,399 --> 01:53:40,439
teams that tend to be aggressive and not worry about

2289
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:43,399
models when chasing their targets. Will Bregman get more than

2290
01:53:43,399 --> 01:53:48,319
a narrow market than shortstop williadamis Will while having three

2291
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,760
or four times as many teams engaged. Bragman has posted

2292
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:54,239
three straight four to five war seasons with a wide

2293
01:53:54,239 --> 01:53:56,840
baits of skills, though he hasn't topped twenty six home

2294
01:53:56,920 --> 01:54:01,199
runs since twenty nineteen and plays a corner position. The

2295
01:54:01,279 --> 01:54:07,079
projected contract is what ross the range game belongs like

2296
01:54:07,119 --> 01:54:10,239
all this already? They have him at six years one

2297
01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:13,399
eighty seven, six years. I think if you signs for

2298
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:15,199
six we don't. Nobody wins a lunch bet on this

2299
01:54:15,279 --> 01:54:19,039
yeah or in our case no, it's yeah. We said

2300
01:54:19,079 --> 01:54:21,079
plate lunch, though we can do breakfast. We up the

2301
01:54:21,079 --> 01:54:23,680
bet from a snack to you up the bet to lunch?

2302
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:26,800
I did updated. Did your phone continue to go crazy?

2303
01:54:27,039 --> 01:54:29,680
Are people texting? You know, listening to the show? Yes,

2304
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:31,680
you can't turn the volume down on that. I'm trying

2305
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:33,800
to look at this all the way down, Okay, sees

2306
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:36,279
I cannot. It's still texting like it's out of control.

2307
01:54:36,359 --> 01:54:37,800
I'm getting a new phone this week, so if you

2308
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:40,319
have my phone number. Just text me all the way

2309
01:54:40,439 --> 01:54:42,479
you can do it. You can do the scroll down

2310
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,199
and then you should be able to have ten texts

2311
01:54:45,439 --> 01:54:47,239
like this. Please do it. Do it for me, please.

2312
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:50,600
I don't think it's gonna make a difference. Six sevens.

2313
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:54,520
You're right, it already has the sound off. Yeah, I

2314
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:56,079
don't hear anything else. Do you want me to test it?

2315
01:54:56,199 --> 01:54:58,800
Go ahead, it's not gonna work. Focus on sports here.

2316
01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:05,600
Six years one eighty seven. Okay, that sounds about right. Okay,

2317
01:55:06,159 --> 01:55:09,600
sounds about right, six years one eighty seven. I'm thinking

2318
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:13,279
about one one seven years one. I think the Astros

2319
01:55:14,479 --> 01:55:17,840
I would like for them to offer five one fifty. Yeah, okay,

2320
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:19,960
he's not gonna sign that. But what is he really

2321
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,840
gonna is? Your take yesterday was that they wouldn't offer five.

2322
01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:26,119
I want him to. Why wouldn't they Because I don't

2323
01:55:26,119 --> 01:55:27,319
think the Astros are gonna be a deal at all,

2324
01:55:27,319 --> 01:55:30,720
offer and all. They're gonna make some sort of offer

2325
01:55:31,479 --> 01:55:32,840
and then it's it gonna it's gonna leak out of

2326
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:34,399
the public and people are gonna get mad about that.

2327
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:38,880
I don't know Korea leaked his own offer. Maybe the

2328
01:55:38,920 --> 01:55:45,560
Astros don't want to get burned like that. Why can't

2329
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:48,880
I not see the glass half full on this?

2330
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:51,079
Speaker 2: You know?

2331
01:55:51,119 --> 01:55:51,319
Speaker 3: Why?

2332
01:55:52,159 --> 01:55:54,560
Speaker 1: On why I don't think Bregnant's coming back. No, he's

2333
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:58,399
there's because he's gone. But see there are Astro fans

2334
01:55:58,439 --> 01:56:01,560
that are running to their Twitter accounting sign Bregman Royals

2335
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:06,960
Wall says, sim Bregman. Well we said this, and I

2336
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:11,760
mean it feels different, feels really different. Why because he's

2337
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:14,920
older than all of them, because he is mister Astro

2338
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:18,760
in the last ten years, well outside of Hoseel Tove. Yeah,

2339
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,520
but two, Bay's not worried about a contract. He's taking

2340
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:27,319
care of Yes he is. I'm going off of what

2341
01:56:27,359 --> 01:56:30,199
I've seen in the past and the track record of

2342
01:56:30,239 --> 01:56:33,039
the organization, and the track record is will pay you

2343
01:56:33,079 --> 01:56:36,560
a lot. We're going to keep the years, not in

2344
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:40,479
a minimum but very club friendly under five. We don't

2345
01:56:40,479 --> 01:56:42,479
want to pay old players. And what happened when they

2346
01:56:42,479 --> 01:56:45,960
did pay old players Jose Abreu and Justin Verlander, who

2347
01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:50,159
are either hurt or useless. I wouldn't say, oh, Jose

2348
01:56:50,239 --> 01:56:54,680
b Yeah, you're right, they got the bray you signing

2349
01:56:54,800 --> 01:57:01,399
has burned. The Jim may never get over that any

2350
01:57:01,439 --> 01:57:03,560
thought of I mean, yeah, they paid an old player.

2351
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:05,000
Now was a three year deal, but he was what

2352
01:57:05,039 --> 01:57:06,800
like thirty five when he signed it, correct for thirty

2353
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:08,680
four whatever. It was the only team in Major League

2354
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:11,319
Baseball want to gi him a third year. Seems like

2355
01:57:11,359 --> 01:57:15,960
the rest of baseball was smart on that. Yeah, Okay, well,

2356
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:18,479
I just I see these things. These things pop up,

2357
01:57:18,479 --> 01:57:21,880
and I think, okay, six one eighty seven, I think

2358
01:57:21,920 --> 01:57:23,319
a lot of baseball teams would sign Hm for that.

2359
01:57:23,399 --> 01:57:24,920
I don't think he's gonna get the seventh year. That's

2360
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:27,279
why I'm at the bet with you. Okay, well we'll see.

2361
01:57:28,359 --> 01:57:32,239
Well it takes one hm, Hm. You have channel room

2362
01:57:32,279 --> 01:57:34,000
on your side. He thinks he's getting seventh. That's a

2363
01:57:34,039 --> 01:57:36,159
good guy to have him my side. Baseball wise, if

2364
01:57:36,199 --> 01:57:38,800
we're talking about LSU, he's gonna be a little biased. Yeah, probably,

2365
01:57:38,840 --> 01:57:41,520
So all right seven one three two one two five

2366
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:43,560
seven nine if you want to jump in seven to

2367
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:48,439
one three two one two five seven nine zero If

2368
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:50,600
I say that Alex Bregman's gonna sign a six year,

2369
01:57:50,680 --> 01:57:53,439
one eighty seven deal with the Astro or with anybody,

2370
01:57:53,479 --> 01:57:57,600
and it's not the Astros, because here's the thing. The

2371
01:57:57,720 --> 01:58:00,479
love for Alex is immense and I love him person self,

2372
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:06,960
but there were a lot of There are a lot

2373
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:11,600
of people that just think that it wouldn't be worth it,

2374
01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:15,800
that the offensive production really since the finishing second MVP

2375
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,680
building just hasn't been the same and it is only

2376
01:58:18,680 --> 01:58:20,600
going to go south from there. It's six eighty seven.

2377
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:23,600
I say do it. I say six seven.

2378
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:24,319
Speaker 3: Do it?

2379
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:27,239
Speaker 1: Your threshold is five. You're going one year extra for

2380
01:58:27,239 --> 01:58:30,399
one of the hard Team Gold Glove winner. By the way,

2381
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,680
you're taking a big l on that year of that

2382
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:35,640
contractor that last maybe couple of years. Yeah, but you

2383
01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:39,079
want to win now? Yeah? Seven one three two one

2384
01:58:39,119 --> 01:58:42,479
two five seven nine zero. It is the Matt Thomas

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Matt Thomas Show with Ross our

2413
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:32,199
number three drawing to a conclusion, I want to say,

2414
02:00:32,279 --> 02:00:35,520
first time ever a fourth hour unless there was some

2415
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:39,760
special circumstance of I don't know, a hurricane or a flood,

2416
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:42,760
or when Lance and I first started the morning show,

2417
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:44,800
we did four hours. That doesn't count. That was the

2418
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:48,000
proper gentleman. Yeah. Uh. And then we would fill it.

2419
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,000
We would do it. Took pictures in a suit that

2420
02:00:50,199 --> 02:00:53,399
was true. It was a good suitan nice gray suit. Yeah, good, great,

2421
02:00:53,439 --> 02:00:55,680
tile great. I was the start of my weight loss.

2422
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:58,800
That was probably about fifteen pounds ago, okay. And then

2423
02:00:59,239 --> 02:01:02,079
we would fill it. We do an extra hour sometimes

2424
02:01:02,159 --> 02:01:05,720
when Charlie would take vacation time. Oh okay, I don't

2425
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:09,800
really remember that, which was always, by the way, I'm

2426
02:01:09,840 --> 02:01:12,760
gonna use the Charlie Pelo philosophy at vacation time, Like

2427
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:15,079
this year, I'm gonna leave a couple days on the

2428
02:01:15,119 --> 02:01:21,079
table just cuz well, I'm proud of you, Matt five,

2429
02:01:21,199 --> 02:01:28,840
I'm taking every day. Hmmm. That's that's eight weeks of

2430
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:35,520
Gordy between the two of us. You will not be

2431
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:37,960
seeing me much in the second half of this month,

2432
02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:40,520
as and I will be gone. Well, we're gonna get

2433
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:42,880
some damn Matthews in here. We'll get some Gordy in here.

2434
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:44,439
We may be getting a couple of other people come

2435
02:01:44,439 --> 02:01:45,840
in and do something because I'll be on the road

2436
02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:48,720
of some special guest stars trying to Okay, Yeah, we're

2437
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,640
reaching out to Mike Tyson. I believe Michael Jordan. Yeah,

2438
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:54,319
Tiger Woods. We used to be able to have really

2439
02:01:54,319 --> 02:01:57,439
good replacements around to like Ryan T. Smith. We miss him. Yes,

2440
02:01:57,560 --> 02:01:59,239
Ryan T was an excellent filling because he could do

2441
02:01:59,239 --> 02:02:01,399
a little bit of everything. He had a few opinions.

2442
02:02:01,840 --> 02:02:03,319
I just don't want to have people in here just

2443
02:02:03,319 --> 02:02:04,960
to have people we can get them on from across

2444
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:09,479
the pond to talk about Houston sports. Yeah, I don't

2445
02:02:09,479 --> 02:02:11,479
want to. I don't want to deep dive into NFL Europe.

2446
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:13,960
He's still locked down. He is not doing soccer stuff.

2447
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:17,359
He's writing articles about American sports in Britain. Yeah, and

2448
02:02:17,399 --> 02:02:20,680
pretty soon did I get feeling this that there's gonna

2449
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:24,439
be an NFL game in Europe every week of the year,

2450
02:02:24,439 --> 02:02:26,560
Maybe I think you did. You know what, I don't

2451
02:02:26,560 --> 02:02:29,680
want to say every week. I think week one will

2452
02:02:29,720 --> 02:02:31,640
be no, and I think Week eighteen will be no,

2453
02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:33,600
because I think the week eighteen is gonna be too important.

2454
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:36,199
They're in Germany this week. Yeah, but do you see

2455
02:02:36,399 --> 02:02:38,800
what the game is? It's a dog game? What is it?

2456
02:02:38,880 --> 02:02:45,039
Giants Panthers? Seriously, you have serious problems if you're gonna

2457
02:02:45,039 --> 02:02:46,800
get up early to watch that game. Is this punishment

2458
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:49,000
for World War Two? We're sending them Bryce Young and

2459
02:02:49,079 --> 02:02:51,439
Daniel Jones? By way, there is some talk of Bryce

2460
02:02:51,479 --> 02:02:55,399
Young being traded you see that for what? People thinking

2461
02:02:55,439 --> 02:02:59,560
that maybe a change of scenery would help him. They

2462
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:01,960
did trade away all those weapons. Now who's his best

2463
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:05,000
weapon over there? Jalen Coker, let me ask you this

2464
02:03:05,079 --> 02:03:08,960
lot more legend of Javian Sanders. Were we probe Bryce

2465
02:03:09,079 --> 02:03:13,600
or do we flip flop on him? I don't. I

2466
02:03:13,640 --> 02:03:16,039
don't remember if I liked him or not. I'm Bryce.

2467
02:03:16,079 --> 02:03:19,119
I didn't love Bryce. I was concerned. My biggest concern

2468
02:03:19,279 --> 02:03:24,239
was the height. And I wasn't advocating for the Texans

2469
02:03:24,239 --> 02:03:26,960
to trade if memory sirs for them to trade up.

2470
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,920
When a CJ. Stroud happened, I was like, Okay, well,

2471
02:03:30,439 --> 02:03:32,640
at least here's what I do remember about c J.

2472
02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:36,680
Liked him in the National semi final game and gets Georgia.

2473
02:03:38,039 --> 02:03:40,960
Didn't like where he played college football? See, and I

2474
02:03:41,680 --> 02:03:44,399
got caught up in that, and I will I told you,

2475
02:03:44,439 --> 02:03:46,560
I'll take the loss on that. I fully accept that.

2476
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:49,680
Told you it doesn't matter, does Texas Teleo? The prime

2477
02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:52,079
example has always been the Texas Tech quarterbacks. They never

2478
02:03:52,079 --> 02:03:53,680
work out in the NFL. Well, that Pat Mahomes guy

2479
02:03:53,720 --> 02:03:59,319
is pretty good. Yeah, there's not real quarterback factory really

2480
02:03:59,399 --> 02:04:03,760
with the NFL. Brady went to Michigan Manning, Tennessee. Well,

2481
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:05,520
let's take a look at who's great right now, my

2482
02:04:05,600 --> 02:04:09,279
homes tex detect that would not be one. Uh, josh

2483
02:04:09,319 --> 02:04:13,920
All went to Wyoming far for a factory. Jay Stroud,

2484
02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:17,640
Ohio State, they had that huge history, Lamar Jackson Louisville.

2485
02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:21,159
I mean you had Bridgewater and Jackson back to back.

2486
02:04:21,199 --> 02:04:25,880
That wasn't terrible. But Teddy was never a great quarterback. Yeah,

2487
02:04:26,119 --> 02:04:33,560
Mississippi State for dak No, Matt Stafford, Georgia, Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield,

2488
02:04:33,800 --> 02:04:41,079
Kyler Murray, uh Tua Tongua Valoa. Wait, no, Alabama, I'm sorry, Yeah,

2489
02:04:41,079 --> 02:04:44,239
he's Alabama. Alabama's was two and uh Jalen Hurts and

2490
02:04:44,239 --> 02:04:47,880
Bryce Young, Bryce Shunk's no good. You know, I think

2491
02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:50,159
we answered our question. There is not a quarterback factory

2492
02:04:50,159 --> 02:04:56,359
in college football anymore. I think it's just quarterbacks, special quarterbacks.

2493
02:04:56,399 --> 02:05:01,000
It just seems to be pretty random. No, there's no

2494
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:03,880
I can go to X y Z school and grab

2495
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:07,319
a quarterback. That's because it's such a hard job. To me,

2496
02:05:08,159 --> 02:05:10,760
it's such a hard job. It's the hardest job in

2497
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:14,239
sports being a great special quarterback. There's literally ten of

2498
02:05:14,319 --> 02:05:17,239
ten good ones in the whole country. Yeah, and I

2499
02:05:17,319 --> 02:05:20,680
and there's been a lot of tweets about that in

2500
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:23,000
the NFL circles the last couple of years about and

2501
02:05:23,039 --> 02:05:24,680
actually in the last couple of weeks, I should say,

2502
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:29,640
why does the NFL have a quarterback development problem? Number

2503
02:05:29,680 --> 02:05:33,760
one problem is it's just super hard. Yeah. Oh, but

2504
02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:36,439
I hear Chris I can hear Chris Gordy in the

2505
02:05:36,479 --> 02:05:39,399
distance talking about Jaden Daniels and Joe Burrow. Okay, well,

2506
02:05:39,439 --> 02:05:41,199
then maybe he's right. But my point is this, you

2507
02:05:41,199 --> 02:05:43,479
know that you can sky things. Why aren't there more

2508
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:45,119
great physicists out there? But it's hard to be a

2509
02:05:45,159 --> 02:05:47,359
great physicist. That's true, Matt, You're making a lot of

2510
02:05:47,359 --> 02:05:53,880
good points. I should record that. I would. I mean,

2511
02:05:55,039 --> 02:05:57,439
you can't begrudge the crazy money that is spent on

2512
02:05:57,439 --> 02:06:00,199
those guys because they just mean everything you're I mean,

2513
02:06:00,479 --> 02:06:04,520
in CJ. If he was to go down fran Treis quarterback,

2514
02:06:05,359 --> 02:06:08,039
you're going from him to Davis Mills. I mean, please,

2515
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:12,319
c J. Straus, he's gonna get If you think CJ

2516
02:06:12,920 --> 02:06:15,760
is having to run for his life, imagine the stoic

2517
02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:20,640
Davis Mills going against a French seven presure. Yeah, it's

2518
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:24,279
not good, not good at all, but we'll be fine.

2519
02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:26,600
So let me ask you this, Why can't we have

2520
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:29,600
at least how many Okay, let's go, let's go quickly

2521
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:31,479
through this for the next minute and a half. Here, how

2522
02:06:31,479 --> 02:06:40,399
many teams have just absolutely disaster quarterback situations? Carolina is

2523
02:06:40,439 --> 02:06:43,439
a disastrous quarterback situation. I mean Bryce, Bryce Young has

2524
02:06:43,439 --> 02:06:45,760
been an absolute bus I'm gonna say, the Saints, I'm sorry,

2525
02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:51,520
Derek Carr Saints, Okay, Giants, Yes, that's one. New Orleans two,

2526
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:56,840
Carolina three, Dallas No, Seattle Spence okay, Gino's good, Tampa.

2527
02:06:56,960 --> 02:06:57,000
Speaker 7: No.

2528
02:06:57,720 --> 02:07:03,159
Speaker 1: So we're talking about three teams right now in the NFC, Browns, Okay,

2529
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:07,880
let's go. Let's go to the FC New England. No, No,

2530
02:07:07,960 --> 02:07:11,039
they're not a disaster. Drake mays you like him. I

2531
02:07:11,039 --> 02:07:15,239
think he's playing decent. Okay, Vegas yes, four, Yes, Jacksonville,

2532
02:07:15,359 --> 02:07:18,359
even though they're two and seven. Taylor Shriver has been

2533
02:07:18,399 --> 02:07:23,359
over rated, but not a disasters four Cleveland five, Tennessee

2534
02:07:23,439 --> 02:07:29,079
makes six. Yes, Jets No, even though Aaron Rodgers is underperformed.

2535
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:32,279
I would say I think I think they'll be looking

2536
02:07:32,279 --> 02:07:35,159
at quarterback in the in the Indianapolis. Yes, it makes eight.

2537
02:07:35,239 --> 02:07:37,279
So we're talking about eight. We're talking about twenty five

2538
02:07:37,279 --> 02:07:39,119
percent of the teams in the NBA or the NFL.

2539
02:07:40,359 --> 02:07:41,560
That's not as bad as I thought it was going

2540
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:44,600
to be. Yeah, but I think it's about that many

2541
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:47,159
that are like feel like they're completely set. Now, do

2542
02:07:47,159 --> 02:07:48,079
you have a lot of mids?

2543
02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2544
02:07:48,840 --> 02:07:51,800
Speaker 1: You app you have way more mids today than you did, say, fifteen,

2545
02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:55,319
twenty years ago. All right, let's get to the final

2546
02:07:55,359 --> 02:07:57,439
hour of the Matt Thomas Show with Ross Today's edition.

2547

Not to give a shout out to a fast food restaurant,

2583
02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:52,239
but there is a fast food restaurant breakfast item that

2584
02:09:52,279 --> 02:09:56,319
I happen to adore. Okay, it's the steak, egg and

2585
02:09:56,399 --> 02:09:59,840
cheese baked from So Glad it's back from Rick Ronalds.

2586
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:03,920
And usually I split that with my wife because there's

2587
02:10:03,960 --> 02:10:06,199
a lot of food. Oh really, I crushed it by

2588
02:10:06,199 --> 02:10:07,800
myself on the way to hear this morning. I'm proud

2589
02:10:07,800 --> 02:10:09,199
of you, that's why you've been having a little extra

2590
02:10:09,199 --> 02:10:11,319
pep in your step? Is that what it is? Yeah?

2591
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:14,399
And late coming back to a couple of breaks. No,

2592
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:17,720
I'm fine, So I'm gonna rotate that. In the morning.

2593
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:20,920
I'm gonna have uh French toast sticks from uh racking

2594
02:10:20,960 --> 02:10:22,920
the rocks. Can you bring me some? And then I

2595
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:25,720
will do probably an eight muffin and then maybe oatmeal

2596
02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:29,000
from raw rucks to just rotate those four. The oatmeal

2597
02:10:29,119 --> 02:10:33,439
is good and cheap. Does does Rona red do it?

2598
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:36,840
What oat meal too? Are you have a good stroke?

2599
02:10:37,279 --> 02:10:39,039
Sounds like it? Isn't it all right?

2600
02:10:39,159 --> 02:10:39,319
Speaker 4: Uh?

2601
02:10:39,479 --> 02:10:42,079
Speaker 1: Seven? One three two one two five seven OUTI believe

2602
02:10:42,079 --> 02:10:43,640
it or not? Today is all things about the election.

2603
02:10:44,039 --> 02:10:46,039
One fifty today, which is gonna throw some people off.

2604
02:10:47,319 --> 02:10:50,560
Oh yeah, you have forty six minute. You keep saying it,

2605
02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:52,199
and it keeps throwing me off because I keep looking

2606
02:10:52,199 --> 02:10:53,399
at the clock. I'm like, oh, I got two hours

2607
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:57,119
tomorrow email Doki will be with us. What time? Uh, well,

2608
02:10:57,119 --> 02:11:03,680
it's supposed to be one. We can still do one. Yeah,

2609
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:06,359
and then I guess we could still do next year

2610
02:11:06,399 --> 02:11:09,079
a spot at twelve thirty. Still this spot is still good.

2611
02:11:09,079 --> 02:11:11,479
The player interview will have to be moved. Oh, that's right, right,

2612
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:12,800
and I'm going to the eight team.

2613
02:11:14,359 --> 02:11:14,600
Speaker 2: Man.

2614
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:18,079
Speaker 1: They always you know what, catching bikes for us. That's fine,

2615
02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:19,600
good luck interviewing.

2616
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 4: Well.

2617
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:21,159
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Seth Martinez, but he was.

2618
02:11:21,279 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 6: Let go.

2619
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, Seth Martinez gone, Trey Cabbage gone yesterday.

2620
02:11:26,159 --> 02:11:29,399
All right, there was somebody else that, Hosy. That's a

2621
02:11:29,439 --> 02:11:31,520
gut feeling I hit. I told you I was never

2622
02:11:31,520 --> 02:11:33,359
pitching for the Astros. Again, I was right about that.

2623
02:11:33,399 --> 02:11:35,119
Am I to put your name on that? Let me go? Look,

2624
02:11:35,239 --> 02:11:36,800
I think I did give me at least some credit

2625
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:39,840
on that. Oh well, all right seven one three two

2626
02:11:39,920 --> 02:11:42,439
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one

2627
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:45,079
two five seven to start the one o'clock hour, we

2628
02:11:45,119 --> 02:11:47,159
talked to Larry and Tomball on seven. Aunty, you put

2629
02:11:47,159 --> 02:11:50,159
your name on it. Thank you very much, Marry fourth,

2630
02:11:50,279 --> 02:11:52,800
that's a dub. Thank you, Larry. Good afternoon. How are you, friend?

2631
02:11:52,840 --> 02:11:53,439
And delete?

2632
02:11:54,239 --> 02:11:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh fine, Matt, you were talking about quarterbacks from multiple

2633
02:12:00,079 --> 02:12:03,640
quarterbacks from the same college. You mentioned three that have

2634
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:07,800
an o U connection, but actually for the past few

2635
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:13,319
weeks there were have been five starting NFL quarterbacks, all

2636
02:12:14,119 --> 02:12:19,600
with an o U connection. The uh, well, the Baker Mayfield,

2637
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:27,119
my favorite boy, Conler Murray, Jalen Hurts, Callub Williams, and

2638
02:12:27,720 --> 02:12:36,439
Spencer Ratler, who Williams Spencer Rattler. Rattler was the common denominator.

2639
02:12:37,319 --> 02:12:40,880
Speaker 1: You're you're, you're, you're claiming Spencer Rattler and Caleb.

2640
02:12:40,640 --> 02:12:45,439
Speaker 2: Williams, they were both recruited to oh you, but then

2641
02:12:45,439 --> 02:12:46,600
they go because.

2642
02:12:46,319 --> 02:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Of the Baker Mason, then Mayfield, a tech quarterback.

2643
02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:57,960
Speaker 2: All five of those players started for OU at one

2644
02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:02,399
time or the other. There's a fixed one, uh that'll

2645
02:13:02,399 --> 02:13:05,720
be there next year, and that's Dylan Gabriel. He's likely

2646
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:07,359
to win the Heisman year.

2647
02:13:07,359 --> 02:13:11,840
Speaker 1: They'd be Oregon Duck's great Dylan Gabriel. Man, you are clean,

2648
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:15,000
You're like you're. What's an analogy for this? Rossick? I

2649
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,720
can't think of one right now. I don't know.

2650
02:13:20,239 --> 02:13:22,720
Speaker 2: I have the common The dominator for the first five,

2651
02:13:22,840 --> 02:13:24,359
of course, is Lincoln Riley.

2652
02:13:25,680 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lincoln Riley, Yeah, how about this? How about Lincoln

2653
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:30,600
roy Let's go to Lincoln Rally for a second. He

2654
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:32,840
left Oklahoma to go to the Pac twelve because he

2655
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:34,960
thought it'd be an easier chance for the national championship,

2656
02:13:35,000 --> 02:13:36,880
and then one year after he's there. They decided to

2657
02:13:36,880 --> 02:13:38,880
go to the Big ten, and now he's middle of

2658
02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:41,600
the pack in that conference. He's getting a bulllot of

2659
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:43,560
money and getting a boloat.

2660
02:13:43,359 --> 02:13:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, that's the agreea boy. He did stay

2661
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:50,720
at ou though, for five years, so I can't blame

2662
02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:51,399
him too much.

2663
02:13:51,880 --> 02:13:52,319
Speaker 14: Been right.

2664
02:13:52,399 --> 02:13:53,520

Does another school do it? But I don't know. It

2685
02:14:50,319 --> 02:14:53,039
just seems it seems like what's not entertaining about it?

2686
02:14:53,079 --> 02:14:56,279
Nothing good entertaining. It's one of those if you know

2687
02:14:56,359 --> 02:15:00,199
you know things, Matt, all right, I guess and I'm

2688
02:15:00,199 --> 02:15:02,560

2689
02:15:02,600 --> 02:15:04,199
bunch of eighteen nineteen year olds came up with this

2690
02:15:04,279 --> 02:15:06,119
and god knows when and then the probably the nineteen

2691
02:15:06,159 --> 02:15:06,760
forties or something.

2692
02:15:06,760 --> 02:15:06,840
Speaker 3: No.

2693
02:15:06,840 --> 02:15:08,279
Speaker 1: One of that female listener who took a shot of

2694
02:15:08,319 --> 02:15:09,960
me on Twitter hates me. She's a big ut fan,

2695
02:15:10,359 --> 02:15:12,920

2696
02:15:12,920 --> 02:15:16,079
beat that goes it's one or nine us. Don't worry

2697
02:15:16,119 --> 02:15:18,239
about these people's that's fine, all right. I only do

2698
02:15:18,279 --> 02:15:21,319
that one day a year, and I respect you for that.

2699
02:15:22,319 --> 02:15:24,079
I can't do it one day a year. Come on,

2700
02:15:24,279 --> 02:15:27,159
I'll give it to you one day a year and

2701
02:15:27,319 --> 02:15:30,159
clip that seven one three two one two. I'm clipping

2702
02:15:30,159 --> 02:15:33,079
my own stuff said seven one three, two one two

2703
02:15:33,239 --> 02:15:37,119
five seven out eight seven one three women's field hockey.

2704
02:15:37,119 --> 02:15:39,840
That's what else is on. I don't know what's difference

2705
02:15:39,840 --> 02:15:43,000
between field hockey and lacrosse. Uh the ball has to

2706
02:15:43,039 --> 02:15:45,319
stay on the ground in field hockey like a puck.

2707
02:15:45,880 --> 02:15:48,279
Oh my god, that's gonna hurt their backs. Yeah, I know.

2708
02:15:48,319 --> 02:15:53,479
I'm sure they all have back issues, some more than others.

2709
02:15:56,479 --> 02:16:01,520
I mean, i'd watch this all right, Matt, focus up.

2710
02:16:02,359 --> 02:16:04,680
We always try to watch live sports in here, and

2711
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:06,840
we're definitely not gonna watch Pat McAfee. So I put

2712
02:16:06,880 --> 02:16:10,479
on we had on some Turkish League basketball at that game,

2713
02:16:10,680 --> 02:16:13,680
Turkish League basketball ended. So now we're onto women's field hockey.

2714
02:16:13,720 --> 02:16:15,840
And by the way, Syracuse is the one nothing Liover Virginia.

2715
02:16:15,880 --> 02:16:17,479
It's on the acc. You want to make a bet

2716
02:16:17,479 --> 02:16:20,199
on this what we got? Hockey players have been down

2717
02:16:20,199 --> 02:16:22,680
the whole time. They had longer sticks. Can we get

2718
02:16:22,720 --> 02:16:25,199
them longer sticks? Everybody once to have a longer stick

2719
02:16:25,239 --> 02:16:28,520
once in a while. Yeah, absolutely, two fifteen. These ladies

2720
02:16:28,560 --> 02:16:31,960
need longer sticks. Oh so we have we brought up

2721
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:35,040
field field hockey before? How did you find that? Click?

2722
02:16:35,079 --> 02:16:38,760
Because Matt Thomas would say, only one show in the marketplace.

2723
02:16:38,879 --> 02:16:43,559
That's exactly talking women's field hockey. We're not talking NFL tray.

2724
02:16:43,600 --> 02:16:46,079
We got an hour forty fifty minutes left and Texas

2725
02:16:46,120 --> 02:16:49,120
have done squad getting back surgery after the season. They're

2726
02:16:49,239 --> 02:16:57,319
very attractive generally speaking. What they're old enough to be

2727
02:16:57,360 --> 02:17:01,360
your daughter. First of all, that's half plus. Well that's true.

2728
02:17:01,680 --> 02:17:05,120
Forget what I said. They're all lovely young ladies and

2729
02:17:05,159 --> 02:17:09,280
their parents must be very proud. This has hurt my

2730
02:17:09,319 --> 02:17:12,000
back watching this. I gotta change change pat maxeyback on. No,

2731
02:17:12,120 --> 02:17:14,159
let's not do that, all right, seven one three two

2732
02:17:14,239 --> 02:17:16,760
one two five seven seven one three two one two

2733
02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:18,520
five seven And we have we taken a rocket call

2734
02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:23,799
yet today. I don't want to do obligatory rockets call.

2735
02:17:23,799 --> 02:17:26,959
We're getting your squad's above five hundred, right, ROSSI. They're

2736
02:17:26,959 --> 02:17:30,000
four and three now, three baby, I done seven games already. Yes,

2737
02:17:30,079 --> 02:17:35,120
you have the season just flying by. Yeah, game number

2738
02:17:35,159 --> 02:17:37,479
eight of eighty two, ten percent of the season coming up.

2739
02:17:37,479 --> 02:17:40,000
When that is crazy? You know, in all seriousness the

2740
02:17:40,559 --> 02:17:46,079
text and season, there's six and three, Yes, there's eight

2741
02:17:46,120 --> 02:17:48,360
games left for the bye week, there's nine by week

2742
02:17:48,399 --> 02:17:50,600
and off week. Yeah, when when I was watching Red

2743
02:17:50,680 --> 02:17:52,760
Zone on Sunday, at some point Scott Hansen said, by

2744
02:17:52,799 --> 02:17:55,200
the end of the games at noon, we will be

2745
02:17:55,239 --> 02:17:57,200
over halfway through the season. And I wanted to cry.

2746
02:17:58,280 --> 02:18:01,799
It's like we spend all these months dreaming of our

2747
02:18:01,879 --> 02:18:04,440
fantasy drafts and getting in front of the Red Zone

2748
02:18:04,479 --> 02:18:07,920
and going to games and planning our trips. It's like

2749
02:18:07,920 --> 02:18:10,559
like the Cougar's football season is might be over in

2750
02:18:10,559 --> 02:18:13,520
three weeks now they win the one, Okay, that's enough

2751
02:18:13,559 --> 02:18:15,440
from you. If they go two out of three, they

2752
02:18:15,479 --> 02:18:16,760
go to a bowl game, so we'll get to another

2753
02:18:16,840 --> 02:18:21,680
month of excitement. Yeah, it'd be nice. Go kooks. That's

2754
02:18:21,760 --> 02:18:25,000
nice you to say that, wishing them the best in

2755
02:18:25,200 --> 02:18:27,639
the Birmingham Bowl or whatever it's. You know what, let

2756
02:18:27,680 --> 02:18:28,920
me take you something. I'll take a ball out of

2757
02:18:28,959 --> 02:18:30,799
this year? Are you kidding me? After what I thought

2758
02:18:30,840 --> 02:18:32,879
was gonna happen. As somebody who lived through the Charlie

2759
02:18:32,879 --> 02:18:34,760
Strong and Tom Herman eras, I do not take bowl

2760
02:18:34,760 --> 02:18:36,360
games for granted. So you get to a ball game,

2761
02:18:36,399 --> 02:18:38,719
that's fun, all right? Seven one three, two, one two

2762
02:18:38,799 --> 02:18:40,239
five seven on any of the Rockets did get a

2763
02:18:40,280 --> 02:18:41,959

I don't know. I've about fifteen times a day. I

2812

gotta bite my tongue on this show. It's funny. I

2813
02:21:16,600 --> 02:21:19,680

2814
02:21:22,719 --> 02:21:27,719
so so what are we gonna do? What are we

02:21:28,760 --> 02:21:28,959
Speaker 2: Now?

2817
02:21:29,159 --> 02:21:32,159
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to vote, okay, yeah, and then I'm

2818
02:21:32,159 --> 02:21:33,680
gonna go to Carly's volleyball game.

2819
02:21:35,159 --> 02:21:35,280
Speaker 13: Kay?

2820
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Can you can check the lines right as far as

2821
02:21:38,559 --> 02:21:40,840
how long they are? Well, I'm gonna go to She's

2822
02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,280
they're playing. They're playing at Summer Creek High School tonight.

2823
02:21:43,319 --> 02:21:45,760
So I'm gonna go buy a school by elementary school

2824
02:21:45,760 --> 02:21:48,520
by where Summer Creek is so kind of knock out area.

2825
02:21:48,680 --> 02:21:50,079
By way, if you live in Harris County, you can

2826
02:21:50,120 --> 02:21:52,479
vot anywhere you want Harris County. Okay, I didn't know that. Yeah,

2827
02:21:52,479 --> 02:21:55,079
I didn't know that either, so I'm just gonna do it.

2828
02:21:55,120 --> 02:21:55,399
Speaker 3: Just do it.

2829
02:21:55,440 --> 02:21:57,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like that's if we're given the

2830
02:21:58,040 --> 02:22:01,639
right to do him as, we'll do it. Okay, I'm

2831
02:22:01,639 --> 02:22:04,000
looking up election stuff for believe it or not. Lowest

2832
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:06,399
this would be a little nugget for people. Okay, lowest

2833
02:22:06,440 --> 02:22:11,719
percentage turnout of voters in by state is The lowest

2834
02:22:11,719 --> 02:22:16,879
state was Oklahoma in twenty twenty. Okay, Oklahoma, that's a

2835
02:22:16,879 --> 02:22:20,079
freebie for you guys. At one fifty today you can

2836
02:22:20,159 --> 02:22:22,079
use Oklahoma. You can use a different six. The lowest

2837
02:22:22,120 --> 02:22:30,000
to turnout Texas, Texas, Yish Okay, highest turnout your folks

2838
02:22:30,040 --> 02:22:35,399
in Minnesota. Oh, yes, seventy nine turnout. That's wow. We're

2839
02:22:35,399 --> 02:22:36,719
going to say. I think we're gonna see some record

2840
02:22:36,760 --> 02:22:40,760
numbers because, first of all, the early balloting, early voting

2841
02:22:40,799 --> 02:22:43,040
has been astronomical in a lot of states. Yeah, but

2842
02:22:43,079 --> 02:22:44,959
there are people that think that the I guess the

2843
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:47,719
early since so many voted early, that might put the

2844
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:52,000
day lower turnout here. So who knows? Yeah, all right, rockets.

2845
02:22:52,440 --> 02:22:54,200
By the way, the NBA is off tonight because they

2846
02:22:54,200 --> 02:22:57,040
want them read to vote. We had stagger games last night. Yes,

2847
02:22:57,479 --> 02:22:59,000
I think that's cool. That's great. I think it should

2848
02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:01,840
be a nationville holiday. Guy, wouldn't election day be a

2849
02:23:01,920 --> 02:23:05,159
national holiday? Kids are off school today? Oh they are? Yeah, Okay,

2850
02:23:05,840 --> 02:23:08,799
why are we here because we were told to work

2851
02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:10,840
ten o'clock? That's true. We do it. We're told, yeah,

2852
02:23:10,879 --> 02:23:14,879
we will. That question win on a ruffle feathers. You

2853
02:23:14,920 --> 02:23:18,879
know what I'm saying. But I think it should be

2854
02:23:18,879 --> 02:23:19,600
a national holiday.

2855
02:23:19,639 --> 02:23:21,959
Speaker 3: What do you think? Uh?

2856
02:23:22,079 --> 02:23:23,840
Speaker 1: No, you can suit of your business and be done

2857
02:23:23,840 --> 02:23:25,920
in ten fifty minutes. Some people don't. Some people have

2858
02:23:25,959 --> 02:23:28,319
to work multiple jobs. Yeah, but there's early voting. I mean,

2859
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:33,040
if if you're not going to vote, you're not going

2860
02:23:33,079 --> 02:23:35,239
to use my job as an excuse. You've got plenty

2861
02:23:35,280 --> 02:23:37,040
of days. I think it'll be I think there are

2862
02:23:37,079 --> 02:23:39,239
people who it would be a lot easier if this

2863
02:23:39,319 --> 02:23:42,159
day were a national holiday. Absolutely, I think it would.

2864
02:23:42,360 --> 02:23:44,399
You don't You don't think it would upturn out? I

2865
02:23:44,440 --> 02:23:46,719
couldn't hurt it put it that way. But but but

2866
02:23:46,799 --> 02:23:49,360
you get plenty of opportunities to do it ahead of time.

2867
02:23:49,399 --> 02:23:50,920
I think turnout would go up. And I think that's

2868
02:23:50,920 --> 02:23:53,239
a good thing. Yeah. Well, like I said, I'm gonna

2869
02:23:53,239 --> 02:23:54,319
be get out the air in a few minutes and

2870
02:23:54,319 --> 02:23:56,799
we'll go down and see what we'll do. We'll decide.

2871
02:23:56,799 --> 02:23:59,959
Good luck. I'm undecided. You're a ride in Ville right

2872
02:24:00,079 --> 02:24:03,520
yourself in? If I could get ten percent of vote,

2873
02:24:03,520 --> 02:24:07,239
would writ myself in. Oh you know what, I'll go,

2874
02:24:07,399 --> 02:24:10,000
I'll go write you in so all these it would

2875
02:24:10,000 --> 02:24:13,760
be like Trump forty nine point nine, Kamala Harris forty

2876
02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:17,200
nine point nine. M. Thomas point one. Yeah, that'd be cool.

2877
02:24:17,479 --> 02:24:21,840
Go down in history. Didn't who was the Uh? Wasn't

2878
02:24:21,879 --> 02:24:24,520
there a guy with a strange name that was running

2879
02:24:24,559 --> 02:24:28,360
for office? I got like one percent one time cowboy hat,

2880
02:24:28,479 --> 02:24:33,920
old guy, old Godkyankinky Friedman. May he rest? Yeah he did?

2881
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:37,040
He's dead. I think he ran for governor and he

2882
02:24:37,120 --> 02:24:39,399
got one percent. I think I don't remember something crazy

2883
02:24:39,440 --> 02:24:40,959
like that. Go look, No, you don't have to. No,

2884
02:24:41,000 --> 02:24:43,719
don't look. I want you to focus on sports because

2885
02:24:43,719 --> 02:24:45,719
people come to us to get away from politics. That's true,

2886
02:24:45,840 --> 02:24:48,600
you're talking about I'm moving on. I'm moving on all right. Rockets,

2887
02:24:48,639 --> 02:24:51,399
last Night, Goeta Win, san Antonio Tomorrow Night died this

2888
02:24:51,479 --> 02:24:54,079
year in June. Kinky Friedman boy I should have used

2889
02:24:54,120 --> 02:24:55,440
him for a life or dead, believe it or not

2890
02:24:55,840 --> 02:25:02,159
yeah too late Rockets last night. And if you're a

2891
02:25:02,239 --> 02:25:03,799
Rocket fan, want to call in and say, Hey, had

2892
02:25:03,840 --> 02:25:05,360
you feel better about what Jalen did in the fourth

2893
02:25:05,440 --> 02:25:06,799
quarter the game last night? Do you feel better that

2894
02:25:06,799 --> 02:25:10,040
Apple and Shingoon was out there playing valuable minutes? Amen

2895
02:25:10,200 --> 02:25:14,760
Thompson playing some spectacular defense. And here's the thing, if

2896
02:25:14,799 --> 02:25:16,120
you're in New York, I know you're not happy that

2897
02:25:16,159 --> 02:25:18,120
you lost last night, but you basically tried to beat

2898
02:25:18,120 --> 02:25:21,440
the Rockets with seven players. Kinky Freeman got twelve percent

2899
02:25:21,440 --> 02:25:23,959
of the vote. You got that much, I thought we're

2900
02:25:23,959 --> 02:25:25,799
going back to sports. Get off that damn page whatever

2901
02:25:25,879 --> 02:25:28,280
you're on. Rick Perry thirty nine percent, Chris Bell twenty

2902
02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:32,760
nine Carol Keaton Strayhorn eighteen percent, Kenkey Freeman, So how

2903
02:25:32,760 --> 02:25:35,760
long ago is that? Two thousand and six? Okay, sorry,

2904
02:25:35,760 --> 02:25:37,079
what were you talking about? I'm zoned out? I was

2905
02:25:37,159 --> 02:25:39,079
you got me in this is I get a Wikipedia

2906
02:25:39,079 --> 02:25:41,879
hole fourth hour. I'm sorry. Tried to get you to

2907
02:25:41,920 --> 02:25:44,799
talk sports with me for twelve seconds here and repeatedly

2908
02:25:44,799 --> 02:25:47,719
said get off that website, turned close the computer down,

2909
02:25:48,319 --> 02:25:50,600
don't stare at me like that. That makes me it's creepy.

2910
02:25:51,760 --> 02:25:53,760
I was like now you look, you're looking at me

2911
02:25:53,959 --> 02:25:58,280
with adoring eyes. I'm closing my eyes on this. All right,

2912
02:25:58,319 --> 02:26:01,440
I'll back up locking in and what you're saying though, Matt,

2913
02:26:01,559 --> 02:26:03,559
all right, I got locked in. I got the Rockets

2914
02:26:03,600 --> 02:26:06,639
winning forty eight? Can they get to forty eight? Maybe

2915
02:26:06,680 --> 02:26:10,079
because I'm biased purely. Look, I put him in forty

2916
02:26:10,079 --> 02:26:13,280
five totals forty three and a half. You got him

2917
02:26:13,280 --> 02:26:14,079
five over the total.

2918
02:26:14,159 --> 02:26:14,440
Speaker 3: So what?

2919
02:26:14,719 --> 02:26:18,639
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not bad. You see Milwaukee's one and six. Yeah,

2920
02:26:21,079 --> 02:26:24,440
I think they said it's been like only a bunch

2921
02:26:24,520 --> 02:26:26,680
of hundreds of teams have started that way and only

2922
02:26:26,719 --> 02:26:28,600
like twelve of them made the playoffs. And honesty not

2923
02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:32,559
play last night. It's Drew Holliday playing for them. I

2924
02:26:32,559 --> 02:26:37,120
feel like he's hurt. I don't know, not Drew Holliday, No, no, no, no, no, no,

2925
02:26:37,920 --> 02:26:43,360
Chris Middleton. Drew Yeah, yeah, Chris Middleton. Has he been playing?

2926
02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:45,520
I know he's been hurt a lot less legend, I

2927
02:26:45,520 --> 02:26:49,200
don't know. Yeah, I do want the Rockets to make

2928
02:26:49,200 --> 02:26:52,959
the playoffs. There's a good buzz in the total Center

2929
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:55,600
can get fun if they make the play It was

2930
02:26:55,680 --> 02:26:59,680
going on on Saturday. A lot of Knick fans of

2931
02:26:59,680 --> 02:27:01,559
the game last night. By the way, I heard some

2932
02:27:01,760 --> 02:27:04,280
Nick fan roaring. It was like in one section of

2933
02:27:04,280 --> 02:27:07,000
the arena. How did New York fans find a particular

2934
02:27:07,040 --> 02:27:08,719
area of the arena and buy up all the tickets?

2935
02:27:08,760 --> 02:27:11,200
Is Robert Ford probably bought them for everybody. Well, he

2936
02:27:11,239 --> 02:27:15,079
had my tickets, he did. I mean, he's he's giving

2937
02:27:15,079 --> 02:27:17,639
me some of his astro tickets at least. Wow, that's good.

2938
02:27:17,680 --> 02:27:19,920
Tomato tomat. Wait, that's on tomato to modal. Tit for

2939
02:27:19,959 --> 02:27:28,319
tat Tomato tomato is better? Yeah, yeah, tamato tomto doesn't

2940
02:27:28,360 --> 02:27:30,559
apply at all. No, it doesn't. Tit for tat is

2941
02:27:30,600 --> 02:27:32,719
what I mean. Okay, tit for tad. It's the fourth hour.

2942
02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:34,600
I'm tired. No, we're gonna get past this. We're gonna

2943
02:27:34,600 --> 02:27:36,479
We're gonna roll. I'm gonna get some good rest tonight.

2944
02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:39,000
My sleeve schedules a little off. I'm ready to go.

2945
02:27:40,319 --> 02:27:42,120
I got tomorrow night. We got the show and the

2946
02:27:42,120 --> 02:27:44,079
Spurs rockets tomorrow night. So we'll have it for you

2947
02:27:44,120 --> 02:27:47,959
here on seventeen. Uh college basketball. Last night, Houston Cougars

2948
02:27:47,959 --> 02:27:52,079
took care of Jackson State. Longhorns lost Ohio State a

2949
02:27:52,120 --> 02:27:54,920
and m lost to Central Florida Power the Big Twelve.

2950
02:27:55,280 --> 02:27:58,639
What was the line on that one? I've been an upset,

2951
02:27:58,639 --> 02:28:00,879
but Aggie's were ranked, but I mean maybe a small

2952
02:28:00,920 --> 02:28:02,879
favor for any Long Horns are ranked in Ohio State wasn't.

2953
02:28:02,920 --> 02:28:04,000
But it was a one and a half points spread.

2954
02:28:04,040 --> 02:28:06,680
I mean we won by fifty seven points. That's a cover.

2955
02:28:06,799 --> 02:28:08,959
Wasn't it thirty seven and a half or something? It

2956
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:11,159
was in the mid thirties. Yeah, now here's the thing.

2957
02:28:11,200 --> 02:28:13,399
You want have home games to kind of get warmed up.

2958
02:28:14,799 --> 02:28:16,879
But I would say this and like, I'm not gonna

2959
02:28:16,879 --> 02:28:18,520
tell Kevin Hunter to do his thing because he's won

2960
02:28:18,559 --> 02:28:20,920
on bothload of games. But I almost feel like you

2961
02:28:20,959 --> 02:28:23,719
want to play somebody a little bit better just to

2962
02:28:23,799 --> 02:28:25,799
keep a competitor. No, I'm okay with that. I mean

2963
02:28:25,840 --> 02:28:27,600
to start off the season for a game or two,

2964
02:28:28,479 --> 02:28:30,799
like the Long Wins played their first game against Ohio State.

2965
02:28:30,840 --> 02:28:33,680
It's like, can't can we get a warm up because

2966
02:28:33,680 --> 02:28:35,920
we're gonna go from playing Jackson State last night to

2967
02:28:35,959 --> 02:28:39,840
playing Alburt on Saturday. I feel like, ad, that's good.

2968
02:28:39,840 --> 02:28:41,440
You ramped the season up. That's how you do it.

2969
02:28:41,479 --> 02:28:45,920
I like that, and I would like for I'm doing

2970
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:47,799
two of their games on television the rest of the way.

2971
02:28:47,879 --> 02:28:50,760
One is against Toledo. Hey, you get the dress rehearsal

2972
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:53,760
against Jackson State. Yeah, and then you get the main event. Yeah.

2973
02:28:54,639 --> 02:28:56,319
And then they're gonna go to Vegas over thanks. Give

2974
02:28:56,319 --> 02:28:58,159
me where they're gonna play in that big tournament where

2975
02:28:58,159 --> 02:29:00,840
they pay the athletes. The only reason I'm going to

2976
02:29:00,920 --> 02:29:03,479
this thing is I can pay my athletes off. Well,

2977
02:29:03,520 --> 02:29:05,639
long runs were in Las Vegas for what the Hall

2978
02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:07,760
of Fame series? That something else. No, this is a

2979
02:29:07,760 --> 02:29:10,399
brand new event. This is where they're giving each one

2980
02:29:10,440 --> 02:29:14,879
of the eight teams a million dollars, one million dollars.

2981
02:29:14,879 --> 02:29:16,639
You know what I don't like about college football year

2982
02:29:16,639 --> 02:29:18,559
to year? I don't know. Is it more stable with

2983
02:29:18,600 --> 02:29:21,680
the Cougars there? You have to learn the team every

2984
02:29:21,719 --> 02:29:25,079
single year. There's like, okay, where did he transfer from everything?

2985
02:29:25,200 --> 02:29:26,280
Where was he there?

2986
02:29:26,120 --> 02:29:26,159
Speaker 3: That?

2987
02:29:26,399 --> 02:29:28,760
Speaker 1: If you looked at a spot or board or the

2988
02:29:28,799 --> 02:29:32,559
too deep of every college football team basketball, I'm saying

2989
02:29:33,239 --> 02:29:38,040
football team, it's a load of with transfers. I mean

2990
02:29:38,719 --> 02:29:40,959
I look at Kevin Ashenfelder, he does his spotting boards

2991
02:29:41,040 --> 02:29:44,120
and he'll put name weight where he's from, and then

2992
02:29:44,120 --> 02:29:45,600
there's always going to be a space for where that

2993
02:29:45,639 --> 02:29:48,799
person was previously, where he transferred from. I mean, teams

2994
02:29:48,840 --> 02:29:51,639
are litterate transfers. Yeah, I guess it's football too. It's

2995
02:29:51,680 --> 02:29:54,479
hard harder to learn the team every year too, because

2996
02:29:54,520 --> 02:29:56,159
you used to watch guys, you know, back in the

2997
02:29:56,159 --> 02:29:58,239
old days. This guy is a freshman, he got some

2998
02:29:58,360 --> 02:30:00,440
snaps or some minutes, and then he got better and

2999
02:30:00,440 --> 02:30:02,760
then you're like, oh, wow, he's really grown, or well

3000
02:30:02,799 --> 02:30:04,639
he added some weight, and then by their time they

3001
02:30:04,680 --> 02:30:06,959
were junior there. You know what my philosophy about college

3002
02:30:07,159 --> 02:30:10,520
football is, and to a lesser extent, college basketball. The players,

3003
02:30:10,559 --> 02:30:13,159
the fans of those teams don't care what their names are,

3004
02:30:13,239 --> 02:30:17,719
who they are. I mean, if you're Texas, Alabama, Ohio

3005
02:30:17,760 --> 02:30:21,600
State perennial national title contender teams, you get to know

3006
02:30:21,639 --> 02:30:23,719
your players. Yeah, but I can say my U of

3007
02:30:23,719 --> 02:30:27,319
ahe Brethren doesn't know eight U of AH players, maybe

3008
02:30:27,440 --> 02:30:34,280
the four or five basketball players. I think it's different

3009
02:30:34,319 --> 02:30:37,079
for bigger prof Okay, how many if I wouldn't find

3010
02:30:37,120 --> 02:30:39,000
a Baylor fan, could Baylor fan give me ten Baylor

3011
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:42,280
football player? Now I'm talking about like, I mean, how many.

3012
02:30:42,840 --> 02:30:47,600
For example, there's like five six message boards for Longhorns

3013
02:30:47,639 --> 02:30:51,040
and Longhorned fans. How many Baylor ones are there? I

3014
02:30:51,040 --> 02:30:52,760
don't know. I don't I don't go to those things. Yeah,

3015
02:30:52,799 --> 02:30:55,639
I don't know, but I think there are a lot

3016
02:30:55,680 --> 02:30:58,399
of people people who get into recruiting, get into transfer portal,

3017
02:30:58,440 --> 02:31:00,520
get into all that type. Okay, then I'm gonna speak

3018
02:31:00,559 --> 02:31:03,559
on behalf of only my school. My school I don't

3019
02:31:03,559 --> 02:31:05,879
think cares what the players' names are on the back

3020
02:31:05,920 --> 02:31:08,920
of the jerseys. They care what's in front, and I'm

3021
02:31:08,920 --> 02:31:10,840
okay with that. I will speak for Longhorn fans. I

3022
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:12,959
think a lot of them do get heavy into the

3023
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:16,280
recruiting and heavy into I mean, there's well, if you're

3024
02:31:16,280 --> 02:31:19,159
in Austin, the Orange Blood, But if you're in Austin

3025
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:21,920
and you are not competing with pro sports teams, your

3026
02:31:21,920 --> 02:31:25,399
sports talk is going into deep detail of Like when

3027
02:31:25,440 --> 02:31:28,000
the Craig Way Show goes on, he's not breaking down

3028
02:31:28,120 --> 02:31:31,040
the NFL from last night. He's getting into Texas getting

3029
02:31:31,040 --> 02:31:33,120
ready for this week's game against set Upon that can

3030
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:36,959
Alfred Collin step up with Devandre Sweat and Byron Murphy

3031
02:31:37,760 --> 02:31:40,879
going into the draft stuff like that exactly. We're in

3032
02:31:41,239 --> 02:31:43,799
bigger cities. I'd be I'd be, I would be safe

3033
02:31:43,799 --> 02:31:45,760
to telling you that Miami Sports Radio doesn't have a

3034
02:31:45,760 --> 02:31:51,879
deep dive into Miami Hurricane too deep talk. Okay, frankly,

3035
02:31:51,879 --> 02:31:53,120
the only thing we worry about it you of h

3036
02:31:53,200 --> 02:31:55,200
is which who's the quarterback going to be? And Donmin

3037
02:31:55,239 --> 02:31:57,200
Smith has been replaced by Xion Chris and he has

3038
02:31:57,239 --> 02:32:01,559
been really, really good. Let's ask Gordy dropping. Oh but god,

3039
02:32:01,600 --> 02:32:03,680
he's on and every every market he goes on is

3040
02:32:03,719 --> 02:32:07,559
college football heavy. I know, all right. Seven one three

3041
02:32:07,600 --> 02:32:09,639
two one two five seven nine. If you want to

3042
02:32:09,719 --> 02:32:12,920
jump in seven one three two one two five seven on,

3043
02:32:13,079 --> 02:32:14,639

3045
02:32:20,399 --> 02:32:23,879

to Chris in Missouri City. Chris, thanks for holding on.

3080
02:34:15,360 --> 02:34:17,479
Good afternoon. Hey man.

3081
02:34:17,879 --> 02:34:19,319
Speaker 6: So I was at the game last night, six and

3082
02:34:19,360 --> 02:34:22,920
one o six, surrounded it by New York fans. I

3083
02:34:22,920 --> 02:34:25,200
don't know how they got that many tickets, but whatever,

3084
02:34:25,280 --> 02:34:26,639
I was surrounded by fans.

3085
02:34:26,920 --> 02:34:29,719
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I wonder why that one section in particular.

3086
02:34:29,760 --> 02:34:31,399
I wonder if there was like a New York Knicks

3087
02:34:31,399 --> 02:34:33,040
fangroup for Houston and all aside to buy in the

3088
02:34:33,079 --> 02:34:33,559
same area.

3089
02:34:34,760 --> 02:34:37,479
Speaker 6: Right, and then they also won like they were next

3090
02:34:37,520 --> 02:34:39,120
to the section that won, and that was full of

3091
02:34:39,200 --> 02:34:40,479
New York fans, like they.

3092
02:34:40,440 --> 02:34:42,000
Speaker 2: Know the section that cheers loudest.

3093
02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:44,159
Speaker 6: They won because there was nothing with New York fans.

3094
02:34:44,159 --> 02:34:44,760
Speaker 3: That was crazy.

3095
02:34:46,600 --> 02:34:50,799
Speaker 6: But what I caught about was the closing team that

3096
02:34:50,920 --> 02:34:54,920
was on the floor last night is jelling and going

3097
02:34:54,959 --> 02:34:58,600
to be so good as they would toured together. That defense,

3098
02:34:58,639 --> 02:35:02,000
I think it's the youth at leticism and the just

3099
02:35:02,040 --> 02:35:05,920
a will to play defense. I'm in was spectacular on Brunson.

3100
02:35:06,159 --> 02:35:06,920
Speaker 3: In the fourth quarter.

3101
02:35:07,040 --> 02:35:09,600
Speaker 6: I think it's length is Lynt just bothered.

3102
02:35:09,319 --> 02:35:10,719
Speaker 3: Him at the end and the end of the game.

3103
02:35:10,719 --> 02:35:17,600
Speaker 6: But Tarry Eathan, i'm in, Thompson, Green, Sengoon, and I

3104
02:35:17,600 --> 02:35:19,440
forget who the fifty is on the floor last night,

3105
02:35:19,479 --> 02:35:22,399
but they clapped down and I'm sure the coach was

3106
02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:26,120
extremely happy. Man, that five closing is going to be

3107
02:35:26,159 --> 02:35:27,920
tough on Western Conference teams.

3108
02:35:27,959 --> 02:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's defensive minded. Thanks for the phone call, Chris,

3109
02:35:31,440 --> 02:35:33,239
And as we talked about a little bit on the

3110
02:35:33,239 --> 02:35:37,559
show yesterday, EMA is not going to be afraid to

3111
02:35:37,680 --> 02:35:41,000
not worry about who's making how much money, who's playing

3112
02:35:41,040 --> 02:35:46,719
that many minutes. He wants defensive stops in the fourth quarter. Now,

3113
02:35:46,719 --> 02:35:49,399
obviously running and pushing and scoring, it's a huge part

3114
02:35:49,399 --> 02:35:51,879
of the thing. But last night, Rossie, the Rockets give

3115
02:35:51,959 --> 02:35:56,719
up ninety seven points. That is such an abnormality in

3116
02:35:56,760 --> 02:35:59,760
today's NBA that I guarantee you as much as fun

3117
02:35:59,760 --> 02:36:01,840
as was seeing Appi Scoes what he did in the

3118
02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:04,440
first half and seeing Fred hitt those three pointers early.

3119
02:36:04,959 --> 02:36:08,559
He had to be as more proud, if not even

3120
02:36:09,319 --> 02:36:11,239
than anything that you saw offensive b by the work

3121
02:36:11,280 --> 02:36:13,920
that Amend Thompson did on Jalen Brunsias. Jalen it's just

3122
02:36:14,520 --> 02:36:16,360
really really hard to stop, and it's really hard to

3123
02:36:16,360 --> 02:36:18,399
stop a guy that's still primarily left handed ninety five

3124
02:36:18,440 --> 02:36:22,360
percent at the time too. Yeah, they want to push

3125
02:36:22,559 --> 02:36:26,200
pace and they want to defend well, and that can

3126
02:36:26,239 --> 02:36:28,680
be harder with Alprynching Gooon on the floor who did

3127
02:36:28,719 --> 02:36:30,680
get a lot of minutes, but he also wasn't in

3128
02:36:30,719 --> 02:36:34,239
the closing lineups against the Golden State Warriors and the

3129
02:36:34,319 --> 02:36:38,000
Dallas Mavericks. So you want to use Alprynching Gooon's strength

3130
02:36:38,000 --> 02:36:39,559
and his skill set and that is the back to

3131
02:36:39,600 --> 02:36:41,719
the basket game, the playmaking, all that type of stuff.

3132
02:36:41,760 --> 02:36:46,680
But also sometimes it can come at a cost, meaning

3133
02:36:46,879 --> 02:36:48,920
I need a perimeter jump shooter. I don't have one

3134
02:36:48,959 --> 02:36:52,559
on the floor, because yes, if you have on lineups

3135
02:36:52,559 --> 02:36:56,559
through you have Amen Thompson and alprynching goon on the floor,

3136
02:36:57,399 --> 02:36:59,840
teams don't have to respect either of their three points.

3137
02:37:00,920 --> 02:37:03,120
You lose a deep perimeter game. So what you're gonna

3138
02:37:03,159 --> 02:37:05,799
have is you're gonna have the paint packed. Everyone SAgs

3139
02:37:05,879 --> 02:37:08,200
way off of a men Thompson and SAgs way off

3140
02:37:08,239 --> 02:37:11,760
of albrnching gound. So that's fewer cutting, that's fewer driving

3141
02:37:11,799 --> 02:37:14,680
lanes for a guy like Jalen Green, who is best

3142
02:37:14,680 --> 02:37:16,399
to add his best when he is cutting in getting

3143
02:37:16,440 --> 02:37:21,120
to the basket. But what I see from a men

3144
02:37:21,239 --> 02:37:25,799
fifteen feet in I can live with. Problem is when

3145
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:28,840
you watch the Rockets and a man has the basketball,

3146
02:37:28,959 --> 02:37:32,520
the defenders sag off yes, and you see him wide open,

3147
02:37:32,639 --> 02:37:34,280
and then you have to make the decision do you

3148
02:37:34,360 --> 02:37:36,920
take the shot and trust it or do you try

3149
02:37:36,920 --> 02:37:39,959
to take wondribble in to get a little bit closer.

3150
02:37:40,079 --> 02:37:41,799
Then the body comes after you, and then all of

3151
02:37:41,840 --> 02:37:44,360
a sudden, that free and easy, wide open shot becomes

3152
02:37:44,399 --> 02:37:47,239
a contested shot. Yeah, So he's a man is doing

3153
02:37:47,280 --> 02:37:50,719
a good job adjusting. He's still driving, He's attacking those situations.

3154
02:37:50,719 --> 02:37:52,559
If somebody's sagging way off of it, he's still trying

3155
02:37:52,559 --> 02:37:54,239
to get to the basket and create for others, which

3156
02:37:54,280 --> 02:37:56,840
he can do. So it's it's gonna be an adjustment

3157
02:37:56,879 --> 02:38:01,559
period and we'll see what happens long term. But very clear,

3158
02:38:01,920 --> 02:38:06,920
very clearly, Udoka loves amend Thomas's defensive energy and playmaking

3159
02:38:06,959 --> 02:38:11,600
ability and kind of do everything Swiss army knife type

3160
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:14,360
of ability he has. And I said this about anything

3161
02:38:14,559 --> 02:38:19,040
in basketball, it's hard to play defense. It's a lot

3162
02:38:19,040 --> 02:38:22,920
of effort, hard, it's athleticism, it's scouting the opponent to

3163
02:38:22,959 --> 02:38:25,319
know what he does, when he doesn't do well, how

3164
02:38:25,360 --> 02:38:27,479
to put him in different spots of the floor. But

3165
02:38:27,559 --> 02:38:30,799
most importantly it's about athleticism and effort and want, I

3166
02:38:30,799 --> 02:38:34,319
would say, also extremely important fighting the referees. And you've

3167
02:38:34,360 --> 02:38:37,319
got guys like Jalen Brunson and who'll swim moves that

3168
02:38:37,319 --> 02:38:40,600
will try to drive foul foul hunters. Yeah, yeah, And

3169
02:38:40,680 --> 02:38:43,239
I mean Luka Doncic does it. I mean Luka Donc's

3170
02:38:43,239 --> 02:38:45,319
pump fakes eight times and then flops and then they

3171
02:38:45,360 --> 02:38:47,799
call a foul, and again the NBA doesn't make it.

3172
02:38:47,799 --> 02:38:49,920
And this is college basketball too. It doesn't make it

3173
02:38:49,959 --> 02:38:52,000
easy for you to play good defense. No, it's a

3174
02:38:52,159 --> 02:38:55,680
very very difficult challenge to be an on ball defender

3175
02:38:55,840 --> 02:38:58,280
and not say at a foul and hand check. I mean, yeah,

3176
02:38:58,520 --> 02:39:03,159
these games are the rules have beuilt for offense to

3177
02:39:03,159 --> 02:39:05,799
facilitate offense, and that's smart, and that's good for the

3178
02:39:05,879 --> 02:39:08,639
overall health of the league. And you know, with remember

3179
02:39:08,680 --> 02:39:10,840
we were watching the Last Dancing, We're like final score

3180
02:39:10,959 --> 02:39:12,760
seventy two to sixty eight. Let me tell you, the

3181
02:39:12,879 --> 02:39:15,200
NBA wants no part of ninety seven to ninety four.

3182
02:39:15,319 --> 02:39:17,280
They any, they don't want games like that on the

3183
02:39:17,319 --> 02:39:23,079
regular under any circumstance. So, you know, but as much

3184
02:39:23,120 --> 02:39:26,600
that we don't talk about loving defense, we respect the

3185
02:39:26,600 --> 02:39:29,920
hell out of it. Yes, and if you have somebody

3186
02:39:29,959 --> 02:39:33,840
who can do it, do it proficiently without fouling. It's

3187
02:39:33,879 --> 02:39:35,760
a big asset. And that's what A Men Tom said.

3188
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:37,959
And that's what the sweet part was of the Saturday comeback,

3189
02:39:38,000 --> 02:39:41,000
which eventually the Rockets came up short, was that they

3190
02:39:41,319 --> 02:39:44,639
triggered their second half comeback because of Tari Easton and

3191
02:39:44,680 --> 02:39:48,319
A Men's Thompson's defense, more so than Golden State getting

3192
02:39:48,360 --> 02:39:53,000
cool or the Rockets getting hot from three. But I

3193
02:39:53,000 --> 02:39:54,360
will say this, when we were talking about this a

3194
02:39:54,399 --> 02:39:56,840
little bit earlier, on the show today about how the

3195
02:39:56,959 --> 02:40:00,319
NBA is sagging a little bit from an interesting point

3196
02:40:00,360 --> 02:40:03,079
because it feels like it's a three and D league

3197
02:40:03,159 --> 02:40:07,000
and that's about it. We almost get mad when our

3198
02:40:07,000 --> 02:40:09,120
favorite shooters take the two point shot when they could

3199
02:40:09,159 --> 02:40:11,239
have taken one step back and made it a three.

3200
02:40:11,319 --> 02:40:15,000
I like open threes. I don't like just like, for example,

3201
02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:16,959
at the end of the Golden State game, I thought,

3202
02:40:17,319 --> 02:40:19,040
like Jabaris Smith Junior and some of the Rockets, they

3203
02:40:19,079 --> 02:40:20,639
just got a little two three happy. They were just

3204
02:40:20,680 --> 02:40:23,639
ready to let it fly within the flow of an offense.

3205
02:40:23,680 --> 02:40:26,280
For open shots. I'm more on board just letting it go,

3206
02:40:26,440 --> 02:40:28,440
just to let it go. I'm less on board.

3207
02:40:28,600 --> 02:40:28,799
Speaker 2: Well.

3208
02:40:28,840 --> 02:40:30,799
Speaker 1: And another thing is too is that coaches will say

3209
02:40:30,799 --> 02:40:33,239
you got to keep shooting. Yes, Like Fred van Vliet

3210
02:40:33,239 --> 02:40:35,000
didn't hide the fact yestually he said, look, my numbers

3211
02:40:35,040 --> 02:40:37,520
were terrible, but I'm a shooter. I'm still a guy

3212
02:40:37,559 --> 02:40:38,920
that can make threes in this league, and I'm going

3213
02:40:38,959 --> 02:40:41,120
to continue to shoot until tid get out of my slump.

3214
02:40:41,200 --> 02:40:43,760
Jalen Green started that game zero for six last night.

3215
02:40:43,799 --> 02:40:45,600
I'm sure there are people saying, oh, you start zero

3216
02:40:45,600 --> 02:40:47,440
for six, don't ever shoot a game, Well, he made

3217
02:40:47,479 --> 02:40:49,440
his next two and those were clutch threes that won

3218
02:40:49,479 --> 02:40:52,639
them the game. Yea. And while the score card doesn't

3219
02:40:52,639 --> 02:40:55,399
look great, the statueet if you watch the game last

3220
02:40:55,479 --> 02:40:57,760
night and listen to it, eight points from Jailing Green

3221
02:40:57,840 --> 02:40:59,440
were a huge part of the reason why the Rockets

3222
02:40:59,479 --> 02:41:01,360
were able to wast and that late push by New York.

3223
02:41:01,840 --> 02:41:04,280
All right, uh, Connor, what are our today's gifts that

3224
02:41:04,280 --> 02:41:06,280
we're giving away on today's edition of Believe It or Not,

3225
02:41:06,319 --> 02:41:07,239
which is coming up next.
