1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten on

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,960
one of ah Town. Good morning, and welcome to a

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,320
Tuesday edition of The Matt Thomas Show. And Ross this

4
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:28,199
is Sports Talk seven ninety. I was always thinking about

5
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:30,079
a song where we always like to play with wins

6
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,399
and we'll play some songs a couple of times over

7
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:35,840
and over, because it's no, there's not an infinite number

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,399
of songs, but this kind of just fit. Last Night

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,640
feels Good wasn't one of those amazing, dominant, oh my gosh, games,

10
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:47,039
but it was a game that, as you said moments

11
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:49,600
ago for an on the air, the Rockets never worned out.

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,759
Dallas had a little lead second half, not much. The

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,880
talent over rules everything. Aman Thompson and Appera and Shngoon

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,119
were working assists to assist and then they flipped it

15
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:02,960
in the system to each other. Katie had a couple

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,519
of threes. Late Rockets lived without Jabari Smith's Last Night.

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,599
Rockets have now won four consecutive games. And Rossie, I

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,120
simply say to you, it feels good. It does feel

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,439
good song from nineteen ninety on the program. I like this.

20
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:19,519
We're getting there, We're getting there, We're working our we're

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,359
working our way back to modern times. Baby. I love it,

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,079
love the pick. And yes, as we were talking off air,

23
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:28,680
it's one of those things you know they call the

24
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:30,959
eye test, you can call it the gut test, Like

25
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,239
how confident are you and your team? We'll kind of

26
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:36,480
tell you in theory how great they are, And I

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,359
was My confidence was never shaken in the Rockets last

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,239
night against the Mavericks. I was like, they're gonna pull

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,359
this out. They're gonna win. It's fine. Even a couple

30
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,200
of years past, I'd be like, Okay, they're gonna try

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,959
to blow this game, Like they need to start making

32
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:49,680
some shots, they need to get their act together. I

33
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:51,799
was like, Yeah, they're gonna be fine. They got this guy,

34
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,359
Kevin Durant, he's pretty good. All Star Outrunchtin Gooon he's

35
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:57,040
pretty good as well. Iman Thompson was playing very well

36
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,000
last night. Is also so I wasn't My confidence was

37
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,280
not shaken, and they rewarded all of us Houston Rockets

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,879
fans with a victory. Yeah, some of the numbers were

39
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:08,960
not great. Three point shot for a team that entered

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360
the game at forty five percent from distance, when only

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,319
eight of twenty nine again the Russian guys for to

42
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:17,159
do that twenty thirty from the free throw line. That

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,000
doesn't we would like that not to regress. But also,

44
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:24,360
who is the big culprit? Oh, you mean six to

45
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:28,080
eleven outprea shingoon? And are we shocked with that? It's

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,360
been a trend. Who is the second biggest culprits man Thompson?

47
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:33,400
Who are we shocked with that? Four and seven? So

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,800
those guys combined for ten of eighteen from the line.

49
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,520
Tigers can change their shooting stripes in the NBA, but

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,240
it's it can be rare, you're saying. I'll just say this.

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,199
Dallas is a decent team. They'd be a better team

52
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,240
if they had Anthony Davis and the fort and they

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,240
would be a really good team if Kyrie Irving was

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,800
able to go. Derek Cleveley, they were missing, they were wounded.

55
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:56,879
Even a guy like Dante Exum is a guy that

56
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:00,240
comes off the true scores for them. So, but the

57
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:02,759
Rockets won forty six percent from the floor. Hey, they

58
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:06,520
didn't have Javaris Junior. It's true, that is true. Rockets

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,120
win it there four and two after zero and two

60
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,680
start which two? Good man, you don't want to say

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,639
good losses because I was talking the Tari sent up

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,800
the game. You don't have an ugly win and a

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,039
good loss. That's the old standby phrase. Of course. Uh,

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,719
you had good losses against Oklahoma City detried not as

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,039
much because you can ugly. Yet thirty eight point six

66
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:23,599
from the field that game, if they'd have made a

67
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560
couple easy bunnies, they would have won. Yep. But four

68
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,719
wins against Look the Mavericks. As long as Anthon Davis

69
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,199
is in on the lineup, it's not gonna be very good.

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,039
And Kyrie doesn't put him in the elite category. Uh,

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,680
first live look at the Cooper flag. Yes, Okay Athletic

72
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,879
scored a couple of buckets. Was taking Reed Shepherd off

73
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:46,879
the dribble. But a lot of the NBA has been

74
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:49,240
doing that well. I think Ema and Doka noticed that

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,039
because he put in Aaron Holliday for a long stort

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,240
of time in a game and a lot of times

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,120
when Reed Shepherd is on the floor, and it's Stu

78
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,639
observation by Gerard in the post game, and it is

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,039
true that Reed Shepherd is they put they used zone

80
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,039
when Reid is out there as well. Yeah, where they're

81
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:06,199
worried about his defense. So flying to me and the

82
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:08,319
guys from before us the morning show, we're talking about

83
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:11,159
this Cooper Fly could have probably used one more year

84
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,199
of maturation, maturation in the college game, just to kind

85
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,519
of get all the kinks out of him. He's young,

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560
he's very talented. Uh, he was worthy of the first

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,040
overall pick. Yes, but he's gonna be a guy that's

88
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,319
gonna have to learn on the fly a little bit,

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,199
play probably more minutes he probably would want to as

90
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,680
an NBA player in his rookie season. The running point

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,199
at thirty four minutes. I will say this, and this

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,759
is kind of nice to finally say. Clay Thompson, I

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,519
believe his fifth all time in three pointers Maine in

94
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:40,720
the history of the NBA. Found correct on that. Okay,

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,920
he's completely washed. A non factor last night. And how

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800
many times in our lifetime you and I Ross have

97
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:48,839
come on this radio and ship, oh man, Clay Thompson

98
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,959
wasn't a factor in a game in Houston, Texas. I'm zero.

99
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,360
I've been fearing Klay Thompson since I can remember him

100
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,240
being a Golden State Warrior. So it was nice to

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,959
not be super scared of Clay Thompson. He was even

102
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:03,120
pretty good for the Mavericks last year. Yeah, and he

103
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,000
had a big game answer Rockets last year, didn't he.

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480
I think we're just knocking down a bunch of threes

105
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,519
if it's at least once a year. Yeah. So I

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,399
did ask some of my friends in the Dallas side,

107
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:13,839
I said, Hey, is this Clay and giving up? And

108
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120
you know he's Clay works hard, he's putting the time. No,

109
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:18,600
he's just by the time, just as undefeated it always is.

110
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,439
He's had a cl injuries, Achilles injuries, I think. So

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,920
it's Yeah, he's thirty five and he's doesn't have the

112
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,240
luxury of being as tall and lengthy as Kevin Durant.

113
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,920
No no defense or whatsoever. And the shot is not there,

114
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:33,519
and he was seeing in some open looks. Mean the

115
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,399
Rockets were giving him some open looks. Yeah, one freight

116
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:37,560
from three points. I think the shots will fall for him.

117
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000
But the athleticism is just it's completely gone from his

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,199
body due to all the injuries that he suffered. So

119
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:44,839
all right, so if you want to chime in on

120
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,360
the Rockets last night, I will say this, I really

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,839
hope now is what's the cliche term hope in one hand?

122
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,199
What's neither here the other? And stan which one fills

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:06:00,639
up first? I mean, we have to be realistic. Word,

124
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:06,439
how do I put this? Uh? Not the most not

125
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,720
the most feverish NBA town. Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay. Uh,

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,360
it's gonna have to take a serious two round playoff.

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,720
I mean and for almost I think multiple years, super run.

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,560
This team's gonna have to get to the Western Finals

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,439
to really get crazy multiple years. I'm sorry. Even the

130
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,439
James Harden great days with Chris Paul, those those crowds

131
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,560
were not even full until thirty minutes into the game,

132
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,959
you know, So you have that recent example. I'm not

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,519
going to go to your you know when when you

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,519
were the PA and the championship years to win, it

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,680
was really really really rocket right right right, And I

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,000
don't want it to get to that. I mean, I

137
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,720
wanted to get to that level. This was an NBA town,

138
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:42,240
but I don't want it to have to go all

139
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,160
the way just to get to that level. This was

140
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,519
not a baseball town until twenty fifteen ish, That's right,

141
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,360
That's right. So, uh, yeah, you gotta win in this town.

142
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:52,240
I will just say this and again take it for

143
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,319
what it's worth. You just we're just want friends hanging out.

144
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,000
I'm just trying to tell you about my great new

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120
cardial I got on my on my Twitter account this morning.

146
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,079
It's a really fun team. So it's gonna be a really,

147
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,120
really good team. It's going to team that's probably gonna

148
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,240
be north of fifty wins, which is so funny because

149
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,879
I think the NBA naysayers whens soon as Van Vliet

150
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:15,480
went down, like, oh it's over now. That very I mean,

151
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,399
they don't have to win fifty to win a championship

152
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:20,560
because it's so super competitive in the West. They may

153
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,319
have to ultimately decide what they want to do with

154
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:24,240
the point guard position if they don't think Reids can

155
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:26,839
do it over the long term, but that's stuff down

156
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,439
the road. They do have Durant still a superstar, despite

157
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:32,480
the fact he didn't not shoot well last night. Ta

158
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:35,920
Resan has been a awesome six man started last night.

159
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:39,120
Alprin Shingoon wakes up with almost a triple double. Despite that,

160
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,120
sometimes you get frustrated by some of his performances. Josh

161
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,959
Coby's been suitable as an off guard, and then Aman

162
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Thompson continues to be a guy that can play a

163
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,680
four or five different positions and has done a really

164
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,680
good job, been shot very well and actually got another

165
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,279
three point last night and had twenty seven points. I'm

166
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:57,399
going to tell you, Houston, Texas, if you are down

167
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,399
on the Texans and you are nervous about the future

168
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,720
of the Astros, there's a certain basketball team in this

169
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,079
town that wouldn't mind you putting your eyeballs on them.

170
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,160
You don't have to go buy season tickets. You don't

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,319
mean they like for you to do that. But my

172
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:12,120
point is this just to say, wake me up at

173
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,759
a certain time like Christmas time is always the cliched

174
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:16,959
NBA term. That's true. I think you're doing yourself at

175
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:20,319
disservice because it's a good basketball team. It's running through

176
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:23,160
the competition. Right now, it's fun and right now it

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,240
is we, of course, continue to have to use these caveats.

178
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,279
It's early in the season. They have the best offense

179
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,800
in the NBA offensive rating points per game, They are

180
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,279
the best. And the scary thing is, as you mentioned,

181
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,919
I would think we've used the words sloppy, plunky, disjointed,

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,039
so they haven't looked completely fluid. They turned the ball

183
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,159
over seventeen times again yesterday and gave up seventeen points.

184
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,360
Off of that, they're going to get even better. And

185
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:50,559
they're the number one offense in the NBA right now.

186
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:52,600
And some of that will come down because the three

187
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,320
point shooting I don't think is going to continue as

188
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,279
hot as it has. But as far as the actions

189
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:57,840
they get into and the shots they're going to take

190
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:00,279
and make and getting better chemistry, that's going to get

191
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,000
even better. So I would just say public of public

192
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,600
service announcement. If you are down on the Texans for

193
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,840
yet another reason. And by the way, I want to

194
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:13,440
make sure I mentioned I have amended the Texans will

195
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360
never win a Super Bowl as long as mcnaire's own it.

196
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,000
It's going to be the Texans will never win a

197
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,799
Super Bowl as long as Nick Cassarki is running the

198
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,799
front office. So you're extinguishing their previous claim is gone.

199
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,759
I think you're recanting. I think I'm allowed to do

200
00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:27,200
that because you're canting. It's really the only decisions they

201
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,720
have to make as an owner, to their general managers

202
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:31,519
and their coaches. Those are the two most important things

203
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,639
I know. So if you if you make bad decisions there,

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,519
it's going to cost you. I think both guys are safe.

205
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,799
I mean I think I know if a fact, that

206
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,120
Miko is safe. I think Casario is going to have

207
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,639
one more goal around at this I think the team

208
00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:47,320
doesn't make the playoffs, it will be some soul searching

209
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,559
in that building over there energy, But I think he'll

210
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,480
be given one more draft to go fix some things

211
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,759
and get more aggressive and fre agency and certainly address

212
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:55,960
the offensive line in the draft. But I feel like

213
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,039
we're a broken record on that. We'll get to that.

214
00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:02,559
We will get to. Another survey is out about the

215
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,600
top free agents in baseball. It's almost like they're just

216
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,559
intentionally sending me emails to piss me off. And frankly,

217
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,840
Ross's belly is getting bigger as every one of these

218
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:17,480
emails comes to us. An NBA owner is being sued

219
00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:21,720
and it has to do with Kawhi Leonard. Oh yeah,

220
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:24,120
this is a mess. That is a hot mess on that.

221
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,440
We have a gut feelings coming up today at eleven thirty.

222
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,559
The News at noon is coming up also ross all

223
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,360

224
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:32,840
out with you tw one o'clock then head off with

225
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:34,919
the Rockets to a Memphis. So we want you to

00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,320
be a part of the radio program. How do you

227
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,720
do it? You simply say, hey, I got something to

228
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:40,600
tell Matt and Ross. It could be SPORTSWA, it could

229
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,720
be out of Sports Readier. We don't care. It's seven

230
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:45,559
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one

231
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:48,639
three two one two five seven nine zero. If you

232
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:50,440
want to follow us on Twitter, we would love for

233
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,039
you to do that at Sports MT at Sports RV.

234
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:57,240
Actually you can't follow my Twitter account because it's been compromised. Yeah,

235
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,879
it looks like you picked up a new Mercedes. Yes,

236
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,799
that was the joke, running joke this morning. Everybody's sending

237
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,320
me the tweet of Matt Thomas getting nineteen thousand dollars

238
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,240
out of the crypto bag and getting a new car.

239
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,679
You're welcome, big love to my crypto coach, whatever her

240
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:19,240
name is. Can't they find this person? So I said,

241
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:22,399
tie the account to that. I sent another email today

242
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,320
with two photos on to whoever it is they. I

243
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,679
don't think they particularly care. I sent them two photos

244
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,519
of two tweets that I did not send. I said,

245
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,279
I have been hacked. Those are not my tweets. This

246
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,159
should be cut and dry. But apparently from what people

247
00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:39,840
have told me is that, first of all, Twitter, I

248
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:44,120
think doesn't really care that it's been compromised. Secondly, there's

249
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,200
so many people that are getting hacked ross that I'm

250
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,799
on a list of probably fifteen thousand deep that I

251
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:52,200
have to get my account fixed up again. So if

252
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,279
anybody has any friends at work at Twitter, if there's

253
00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,720
such a thing as at Twitter that works, you know,

254
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,639
you should send a new and free four MT on

255
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:04,120
your Twitter account. Get that, get that, get that Twitter. No, honestly,

256
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,639
it's it's a it's a form we want. Shame on

257
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080
you situation for me, the third time you've been hacked,

258
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,960
shame on me. You should add two factor so you're

259
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,720
you're flat out saying this is my fault, shame on me.

260
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,000
If if you want to say that's fine, you get

261
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:20,480
Look you're looking like you're mad at me for a

262
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,399
little man. I'm gonna do it from now. Yeah, I'm

263
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:24,919
gonna get I'm gonna you know what, you know what,

264
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,679
it's shame on me. I should have set you up

265
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,759
with some two factor authentication. My password, my password is

266
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,720
very difficult I thought you did. Yeah, I'll do it

267
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,039
from now. I mean I have on my last It's

268
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,759
price is right one, two three, isn't it? Bob Barker

269
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,519
r I P six. I'm gonna set you up a

270
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:44,000
two factor. But I do feel some responsibility I said this.

271
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,320
I'm sorry. I use my wave Busters account to see

272
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,519
what's going on. But ultimately, if this takes a week

273
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,200
or a month, I'm gonna be fine. I I but

274
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,559
I want to get a going because I want to

275
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,600
be able to promote the show and tosh some pictures

276
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,519
and talk about stuff with you guys. But I'm just

277
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:00,200
not gonna go off of waight Busters because that's its

278
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,279
pristine count just for those of us that are trying

279
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,559
to stop the damning Yeah, pristina count seven one, three, two, two, five, seven,

280
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:08,440
ten to fifteen of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross

281
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:16,480
with the word right here for Citter pro painter. Shout

282
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:21,440
out to Calvin Sampson winning eight hundred college basketball games yesterday,

283
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360
If not win eight hundred and one game, he won

284
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,639
the eight hundredth of his career. And now is that

285
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,919
with the ones that were vacated taking off? How does

286
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:34,240
that work? Are there vacated wins at Indiana? Is that

287
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,879
what it is? I'm asking, Why are you looking at

288
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,879
me like that? It's an honest question. Well, first of all,

289
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:43,879
I don't know if they were vacated. Okay, but I

290
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,039
I see your tone. I'm asking an honest question. No,

291
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,519
you're not why it wasn't. That wasn't one of the

292
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,840
things that crossed my mind at all under any circumstances.

293
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,039
In my mind, your mind is demented. Okay. Did he

294
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,039
not get wins vacated? I'm not sure. I don't. No,

295
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,080
he had multiple runs within with the NCAA. I'm just asking.

296
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,240
And by the way, all the things he got in

297
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720
trouble for league that is correct, but at the time

298
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:09,799
they weren't. So I'm just asking if there was anything vacated.

299
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,879
By the way. Geez, yeah, wait, we know what your

300
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:15,519
tenor was and you're just mean. By the way, quick

301
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,240
check of the college basketball scoreboard yesterday. Let me just

302

331
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,440
Probably I will be watching the game. And you know,

332
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,360
college basketball it was kind of hard to stay into

333
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,840
year after year. I don't know who's on the team.

334
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,879
I know Kenda Weaver is there. I know maybe like

335
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:13,480
one or two other players. If it give me a

336
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,320
second to think about it. There's so many trends, Like

337
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,240
five people in the transfer portal came in, so I'll

338
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,200
learn about the team tonight. Here's the thing about college basketball,

339
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,279
and as much as I love college basketball the pageantry,

340
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,440
it is even more of a secon sport that's split

341
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:35,840
up among its fan bases. A lot of people won't

342
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:38,159
even stare at a basketball game until after the bowl

343
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000
season is done. And frankly, ninety percent of anybody that's

344
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,200
a basketball fan of a particular school, with exception of

345
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,360
maybe Kentucky and Kansas and a few others, doesn't even

346
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:48,559
bother paying attention to school until the march Man his

347
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:50,759
bracket is announced, and then it became all always been

348
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:54,240
this diehard fan. Yeah, so that's just it's what college

349
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,840
basketball is. College it is the greatest one month in sports,

350
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,320
but the other five months or rather boring from Matsvoka

351
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:06,920
ty Tis who's this brother? Well, I don't think Craig

352
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,400
Way says it that way? Is that what he says

353
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,519
when he introduced m No, I don't think he's the

354
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,000
name like you did. Seven footer from Lithuania. I'm feeling good,

355
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,880
let's go. Oh yeah, Tremon Mark is still there. I

356
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,200
remember that Tremont Mark, former Houston Cougar, a Cougar legend,

357
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,559
Tremont Mark. That was five schools to go for him. Yeah.

358
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,200
I don't know any of these guys. For them, I

359
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,920
know like three of these guys. All right, Well I'll

360
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,799
learn tonight when they're getting their asked. What by Duke

361
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,680
Manual Sharp twenty four Last Night models Uzan twelve points,

362
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:39,759
Joseph Tugo, Jojo eleven points. Cougar shot forty three percent

363
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,480
for the game. Yo, they got this guy from the

364
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:45,839
Ivory Coast, Lithuania, England. This is international school. Nobody wants

365
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,920
to go to Austin shut The traffic is too bad.

366
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,799
All right, don't you wait? Watch out now, Sean Milly,

367
00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:54,480
gon't build a powerhouse. You'll be scared. That's fine. You can't.

368
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:57,319
You can't fix thirty five in Germany. You can't fix I.

369
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,160
You can't fix I thirty five. I have a German,

370
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440
a Lithuania, A dude from England. Who's the best baller

371
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,960
from England? Oh, I can't even name one, but yeah,

372
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,200
So this will conclude our college basketball talk for the

373
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,200
conversation for probably today the next time we're all in

374
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,839
on Longhorn basketball this year, Maddie, I don't think so. Okay,

375
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,839
Well it's just me, I guess I mean we can

376
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,880
do that. No, it's okay. I I don't mind Texas

377
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000
b Houston in a first round matchup in a fifteen

378
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,279
verse two big game against Duke, and then the next

379
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:26,519
three games Lafayette, Fairley, Dickinson, Kansas City, and writer As.

380
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:28,720
The next four, well, we've got any powerhouse known as

381
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:32,359
Townsend on the next on the schedule. Next, why would

382
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,359
you schedule the ass whooping versus Duke in the opener?

383
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,279
Can't you play Lafayette and fairly? Dickinson and the boys?

384
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:40,680
Do you think there's a financial Yeah, the Dicky v Invitational.

385
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:44,119
They get some cash at worst case it helps your schedule.

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Second one, they probably don't pay for the trip, right.

387
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Would you think it's gotta be a real confidence builder.

388
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:53,680
You'll be fine. You just got to be fine. All

389
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,400
these guys on the roster. By the way, they have

390
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,640
a dollar sign icon mean me and go get money,

391
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,519
you think, and it goes to open indoors nil marketplace. Yeah,

392
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:06,279
most websites, I should say all, but a lot of

393
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:08,680
Division one websites. Matter of fact, one of the schools

394
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,960
Carly was being recruited by for volleyball had dollar signs

395
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,640
next to the girls next you know, and again what

396
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:15,799
they were getting any I don't know. But point being is,

397
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,720
you could if you saw athlete you wanted to endorse,

398
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,039
you could hit the dollar sign and you could connect

399
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,559
not directly through the school, but through the collective, which

400
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:28,160
is kind of a subgroup of the school mates. Vokatayas

401
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:30,640
that's my dog. Oh he just came from Florid Atlantic

402
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:34,440
born in Lithuania. I'm ready. Why do you feel like

403
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,720
the need to learn about your team live on the radio.

404
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:39,960
I'm sorry, go ahead. What are we doing? What were

405
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,519
we talking about last time? For a break? Yeah? We

406
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,680
the show has come to a crashing halt. What do

407
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400
you mean everybody didn't want to talk Longhorn basketball? List

408
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,720
the whinny in transfers from FAU. I watched this. That's

409
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,759
how we break down like nobody's business. Watch this. I'm

410
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:57,440
going to I came. This is a serious face. I'm

411
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,960
going to openly ask for one person that listens to

412
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,119
our shut up, just stay let's stay with me on this.

413
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,680
One person that listens to the show on a semi

414
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,519
regular basis. Orry, maybe you listen every day to call

415
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:14,680
in and let's talk Texas basketball. One person and you

416
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,759
get one segment. I have asked a lot of our audience.

417
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,359
I've asked you to support our sponsors. I've asked you

418
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,839
to listen to our show. I've asked you to go

419
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:26,839
to our events. I've asked you to support charities. This

420
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,200
is perhaps the greatest charitable thing I've asked for you. Please,

421
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:34,400
please please call Ross right now with any sort of

422
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,799
Texas basketball question. And it can't be involved past players.

423
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:39,640
It must be on the current state of affairs. Oh,

424
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,920
we can't talk about Brian Bodeker or Kevin Durant and

425
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,319
Brad Buckman. None of those people. Kenton Paulino, No, okay,

426
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:48,880
is it BJ Tyter?

427
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: No?

428
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: It was PJ. TUCKERJ No. PJ Tucker would be one.

429
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,960
Oh TJ FORDA. I was thinking about TJ. Ford. By

430
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,920
the way, Manus Votetias is his major is physical culture

431
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,920
in sports. So one person out of potentially six million

432
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,000
people in our metropolitan area, can you call in the

433
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000

00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,559
the Google AI response and they ask Google AI about

453
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:32,079
the Longe worn season. You know what you can do?

454
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,480
You can actually ask questions to Google eye and just

455
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,200
recite them back to us. That's true. That'd be great radio.

456
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:38,880
All right, So let's get let me get We'll go

457
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,279
back to the rock to a minute. But it is

458
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:43,000
the trade deadline day in the NFL, Yes it is.

459
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:49,079
We had another trade just made and the the Jaguars

460
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:51,799
have traded for Jacoby Myers, a wide receiver from the Raiders.

461
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,559
Really he had been wanting a trade. So that'll be

462
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:02,559
someone to keep an eye on, all right. Texans are

463
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:06,440
not gonna be trading for a wide receiver? Is it? Now?

464
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,839
You are a battle red yes, red Ross? Yes? Is

465
00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:14,960
it malpractice if the Texans do not go get alignment

466
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:20,440
by today's deadline? Malpractice, a disservice injustice, whatever you want

467
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,000
to say. Um, how long is Titus Howard gonna be out?

468
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,440
He's got a concussion? Right, Yeah, my guess is he's out.

469
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,759
My guess is CJ. Strata's out at least this week.

470
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,079
I but even if Titus Howard was available, I mean,

471
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,079
you're don't you want depth? Don't you want somebody that

472
00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:39,519
you feel a little bit more secure than having a

473
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,119
road take. I'm gonna call it malpractice because I don't

474
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,640
know what the markets are. And Casario doesn't like trading

475
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,480
Way picks for players. He likes trading Way picks for

476
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:52,519
other picks. Okay, He's like, uh, I got a stake,

477
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:54,720
I'll trade you for two Hamburgers. Because here's the thing.

478
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,160
When it's trade deadline in baseball, we have so many people,

479
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,440
granted maybe just because we have a larger baseball audience,

480
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,680
we have so many people call and say, hey, Dana's

481
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,440
got to do something, or before that, its got to

482
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,519
be Uh, Jeff's got to do something. Yeah, but there's

483
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,839
no trade deadline is bigger in the NFL than it

484
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,759
used to be. Still nowhere close to baseball or basketball

485
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:19,119
for that matter. But there are diehards that say, look,

486
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,279
I love my team, I want them to be successful.

487
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,240
I would like for some I would like for them

488
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,079
to get better, and you, in theory, can get better

489
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,319
by making a trade. Now, I don't know what the

490
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,880
market is. You know, it's people don't sit around and

491
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,839
go what's the old line market out there? Yeah, Jacoby

492
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,160
Myers was for a fourth and a sixth, but that's

493
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,480
a that's a skill position player. It's harder for us

494
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,279
to judge that deal. Uh yeah, I don't know how

495
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,160
many offensive linemen have been traded. I can go look

496
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:51,079
look that up. The Ravens have traded for too defensive linemens.

497
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:54,000
So you think the general public that are the Texans

498
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,039
fans that got the energy stadium in the second quarter

499
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,319
are going to be the ones that are like, yeah,

500
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,680
I get it, Nick, there was anybody out there you try,

501
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,279
we appreciate you. I think they're checked out general public.

502
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,359
I don't know, are people banging the drums saying something

503
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,960
must be done this straight. I'm not getting a feeling either.

504
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:12,319
We never get that feeling. But I'm not huge on

505
00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:15,720
the Texans Twitter streets. I'm not on huge anybody's Twitter

506
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,880
streets because I'm locked out. So hey, Grdian'll laugh my fault. Yes,

507
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:26,839
so oh go ahead? Hid it? There we're going. We're good. Yeah,

508
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:28,799
it's it's ahead. Where are you on that?

509
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: Because you're posting pics of Mercedes benzes and I mean and.

510
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,599
Speaker 1: Not sponsors either. Don't click on the links from Matt

511
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,920
Thomas's Twitter account. I sent a second Twitter just unfollow

512
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,599
him to be safe. Stop. I sent a second request

513
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,720
by account of being hacked, and they've not responded.

514
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:50,079
Speaker 3: You guys neglected to mention that the Longhorn game is

515
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,279
here on seven ninety to talk about the game.

516
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:53,799
Speaker 1: You were like, I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna watch

517
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:55,799
them like Ross, how about some blood that it's gonna

518
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,279
be right here on the car and that guy that's

519
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:02,319
not very good with him right? Yeah? Something I can't

520
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:04,440
remember his name. You want that just sounds got a

521
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,200
mouthful of chaw? How to get you out there? If

522
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,880
you want to? I love it. I think you do.

523
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,079
You would do a better job. I would love meeting,

524
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,200
but it's just it's a tough lesson. I'll let them

525
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,599
though your fourth string. It's three other people call in.

526
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,920
I will never get a basketball color job because I'm

527
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,440
not a former player, but that'd be a dream. Mm hmm.

528
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:23,960
You can talk to the game pretty well. You do it, hair,

529
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:26,119
Thank you, Matt. You're okay with it all right?

530
00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 4: Uh?

531
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Where are we going with this? Back to the trade deadline?

532
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,119
Thanks Gordy for the seven uety plug on that Texas

533
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,000
bad don't go out tonight with your friends and family, Well,

534
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,400
listen to Texas basketball instead. Yes, a good game. I

535
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,160
mean it's a good game.

536
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

537
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,039
Speaker 1: Why don't try to promote Texas versus nicol State or something?

538
00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:39,279
See I they can cover the nine and a half?

539
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,920
Is that what it is coming down to that? Uh? Okay,

540
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,440
So I ask of you Texans fans if they don't

541
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,480
make a trade and don't improve their offensive line or

542
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,359
for that manner, go get maybe like a breeze hallway

543
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,799
from the New York Jet Topolitans. Is that a disservice

544
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,319
or do you say that Nicko's here in the back

545
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:57,759
of his mind's like you know, what Rah this season

546
00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:00,559
wasn't meant to be because they're gonna have to put together.

547
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,160
They're ROSSI they're three and five right now, they're gonna

548
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,039
have to go seven and two. I think it's gonna

549
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:10,599
take at least ten wins to get to the playoffs

550
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:13,319
this year. I agree, and so note an a ain't

551
00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:16,319
gonna cut it seven and two. We have to go

552
00:27:16,519 --> 00:27:19,720
seven and two the rest of the weaponing. But that

553
00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:25,400
schedules too with Kansas City, Buffalo two, Indianapolis's you just

554
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,319
laid out three losses minimum staying out there all right,

555
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,240
Jimmy and Tomball is calling it. It does not mention

556
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:33,400
what he wants to discuss. And for this matter, I

557
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,759
don't really care what we love Jimmy, Jimmy, it's literally,

558
00:27:35,799 --> 00:27:37,319
what do you want to discuss with us? We'll be

559
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:43,480
ready to do it. James, I'm sorry about that, sure.

560
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: Second off, you know.

561
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,839
Speaker 1: First no, no, you can't. Second you have to have it.

562
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,160
First off, First, my.

563
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 5: First off was I was sorry you're locked out of Twitter.

564
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much. I appreciate that.

565
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I kind of think it's funny, but I'm

566
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,720
still sorry. B Second off, I just wanted to talk

567
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,680
about that U of H football game on Saturday. You know,

568
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,160
U of H can't really get anybody to come to

569
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:08,559
the game.

570
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: R're ranked correct.

571
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 5: Honestly, man, I could have gone to the game with

572
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,799
offer three tickets, but ultimately I just, you know, I

573
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,039
just decided I'd rather stay home because home's more fun.

574
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:23,079
But anyway, just wanted to call in and offer you

575
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,240
a few condolences and hope next week's better for you.

576
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,799
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. So certainly a very inspiring call

577
00:28:28,839 --> 00:28:31,000
from Jimmy. Great call, Jimmy, thank you. Jimmy first of

578
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,839
ball says I'm appreciate you, but he doesn't. He thinks

579
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,000
it's actually kind of funny, as he said, his own words,

580
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,480
not mine, and I'm locked out. And that number two

581
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:41,640
we had nobody in our building. Twenty five thousand strong.

582
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,640
He won, twenty five thousand, twenty five thousand announced accurate

583
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:54,119
for a ranked team. A beautiful Saturday, perfect weather it

584
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,759
was I wasn't here, but the weather was good, right,

585
00:28:55,759 --> 00:28:59,880
And a massive enrollment, massive alumni base in the city.

586
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,000
So well, this just feel like a loaded question. If

587
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,519
we were to take the pie of blame. Okay, approximately

588
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:13,599
seventy percent of the Houstons three hundred and fifteen thousand

589
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,440
living alumni reside in the Greater Houston area about two

590
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,039
hundred and twenty thousand alumni. So if you add that

591
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,079
up with fifty thousand enrolled, that's two hundred and seventy thousand. Yes,

592
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,119
so it's one out of ten cows and the Actually

593
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,279
it's not true, for they were two hundred and sixty

594
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:30,119
nine thousand, nine ninety nine available because I was sure

595
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,400
out right, okay, but I would have been there. Yes,

596
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:34,640
I'm not in the stands, no, but I mean I

597
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,839
would have been there. So in the pie of blame,

598
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,799
I blame probably thirty percent of it on the student

599
00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:47,000
body wasn't there. I mean they get they get in

600
00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:49,640
for free, or you know, they got like an athletic past.

601
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,039
You know, like okay, you know, you get like one

602
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:57,880
hundred bucks for everything you possibly want. I blame I mean,

603
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,400
obviously the other seventy percent has to go to the

604
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,799
people that would give a damn about you of h football. Right,

605
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,160
I can't blend the general public. I'd like to be

606
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,680
able to say, come on you A and M graduate

607
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,440
of two thousand and six, or come on you horn

608
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Frog graduate of nineteen ninety nine or you beler grad

609
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,599
of two thousand and two, but you don't care. And

610
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,839
I'm sad about that. I'm sad that college football in

611
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,359
Houston can't translate to people that don't have a direct

612
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,519
relationship with the school. That you just can't say, Look

613
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,039
because I've been talking. I talked about it last week.

614
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920
You get twenty dollars tickets, you got, you got, you

615
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,480
got in to get in the building for twenty dollars

616
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:34,200
and fifteen cents. Now, I don't know about the parking situation,

617
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,079
and people have complained about that. I don't think it's great,

618
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:39,880
and they're working there. It's a it's a continuing process

619
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,160
to get that resolve somehow somewhere. Again, I don't that's

620
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,359
out of my frame of reference or knowledge. But to

621
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,119
literally get in the building of twenty bucks this was

622
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,680
and so you know again, people pay for parking and everything.

623
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,319
People pay to park downtown of go drinking. People pay

624
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,000
to park to go to the rodeo. People pay I

625
00:30:57,039 --> 00:30:59,559
mean parking and take You could park somewhere and take

626
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:01,519
the light red. You could do that too. I mean

627
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:03,960
there are there is light relative for Rodio right next

628
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,319
to TD tds U Sam, So it's I mean, it's

629
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:08,640
just everybody had an excuse.

630
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: You know.

631
00:31:09,319 --> 00:31:11,079
Speaker 1: I had a great friend of mine who's a U

632
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,359
of HLUM and he's a die hard, and he's like, Matt,

633
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,359
we know we're a city of Houston. Eleven o'clock on

634
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,400
a beautiful Saturday, people are doing other things. I'm like, Okay,

635
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:21,079
that means five point three million people can do something else.

636
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:24,799
I can't get forty thousand people in my building. Can't.

637
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,799
Don't even comme in. I'll let me. Let me do

638
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:29,960
the heavy lifting on this. Steve staut of this. Sorry,

639
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,279
We're just we just can't. We just or The only

640
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,279
time we've ever been able to fill up TD east

641
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:37,119
U Stadium is the year that we went to the

642
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,400
Peach Bowl beat Louisville on national television play for the

643
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000
conference championship game. We had a great crowd for the

644
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:47,039
Texas Tech game, which was awesome because I was definitely

645
00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:48,640
afraid that the Red Raider fans were going to fill

646
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,519
the building up, and they had some fans there for sure,

647
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,480
But we had blue shirts that day and seventy five

648
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,480
percent of the stadium had blue shirts on. So if

649
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,880
you're a Red Raider fan, you're not putting the blue

650
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,440
shirt on. You're's not. I took a photo to prove

651
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,880
that I knew that we could do it. So it

652
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,440
basically comes down to, if you're a U of H fan,

653
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,640
you gotta have a halfway sexy opponent. If you don't

654
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,559
have something that has close to anything interesting, you're not

655
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:14,960
gonna go. So I'm sorry. I know the Big twelve

656
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,440
is good, but you can't rely on Texas Tech to

657
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,759
fill your building up. You just can't because TCU is

658
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,200
not gonna do it. Baylor's not gonna do it. Uh

659
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720
maybe Texas Techs is the large public institution. But you,

660
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,880
I mean by you frankly would do it because b

661
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,799
why you travels very well. B why you probably travels

662
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:33,000
better than anybody else in the conference. Really. Oh yeah, well,

663
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:35,359
the first of all, the religious faith has a I mean,

664
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,240
you can get the LDS here in town to just

665
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,559
go to the game. Mormons are spread out. I didn't

666
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:42,400
know that well, I mean, what is it. It's got

667
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,400
to be a top five in terms of denomination ryan

668
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,279
of religion in the country. I think I don't know.

669
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:48,759
I don't know. I'm sold by power rankings together next week. No,

670
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:51,279
you you skipped the Rotten five last week, so you can't.

671
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:53,599
You're not getting a new listing. You did get three.

672
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:55,920
Three people called in and told you I did it

673
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:58,839
three different Rotten five and what them said, you put

674
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,960
the bills and bills in there. They're second confused. It

675
00:33:04,319 --> 00:33:06,880
was on shrooms. But he was correct that I did

676
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,119
the segment. No, that's a lie. Ten forty six, it's

677
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:12,240
a Matt Thomas show. Ross got Feelings coming up in

678
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,880
forty five minutes here on seven ninety ten fifty two

679
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,119
The Am Here on Sports Talk seven ninety Matt Thomas

680
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:25,440
Show with Ross coming up at eleven thirty. We have

681
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,680
got feelings. I think I think we locked in one

682
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,200
from you last week. I think he gave one before

683
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,119
you left. I did, I did. I can't remember what

684
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,039
I was calling or something. I don't remember. I can't

685
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,640
remember either. Figured out we'll chick the archives. Yeah. By

686
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,759
the way, we'll have Amay Doka with us on Thursday

687
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:45,039
this week, Oh Thursday. Yeah, it helps out a little bit.

688
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,440
That sounds great. Wait, you just wellwed your teeth. That's

689
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,839
not true. I saw you do it. I didn't know.

690
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,359
I got a cut on my lip earlier from last week.

691
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:03,720
It's from Uh, we'll do with this on Thursday. That

692
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:07,400
sounds great. So are you doing Friday's launch pad? I

693
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,639
think I'm just doing Dad did yesterday. I'm doing Wednesday. Okay,

694
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,440
put me down for two weeks, baby, that's what I said. Yeah, Wednesday, Memphis, Friday,

695
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,960
San Antonio, Sunday Milwaukee. The NBA geography is san Antonio

696
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,719
at home. No, they're all in the road. Oh okay,

697
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,480
three share road games. So that's a big clash. It's

698
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:28,079
a group play game. It's a it's a strange court game.

699
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:33,559
Oh great. Hopefully Wendy plays like he did against Phoenix. Yes,

700
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,400
a off night for him as the Phoenix suns one one.

701
00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:40,760
So uh, all right, we got that to get to

702
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,679
what else we got? Oh we have uh okay. So

703
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,920
I think people at the Athletic know about our bet.

704
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,639
I think they send me emails multiple times in a row.

705
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,760
You're speaking of our Kyle Tucker bet where you have

706
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,719
under seven and a half years and I have over

707
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:05,280
seven and a half. So they always say today's listing

708
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,719
on the Athletic story. And by the way, it's a

709
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,159
great piece. It's a great journalism. Our friend chandlah Ross

710
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:11,760
is a writer for the was that the Rockets game

711
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,559
last night. I saidhi to them, did you okay? So

712
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,000
they just they don't give you the A team scored

713
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,320
B team. They gave you the behind the scenes stuff,

714
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,000
which I always appreciate. They're great journalists. That's why the

715
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:26,679
whole thing was started. And then they got by by

716
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,920
The New York Times. And I don't know if they're

717
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,159
in it for the long term. I hope they. Hey,

718
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,119
they've listened this long. Hey, you don't have to say that.

719
00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:37,719
What has it been ten years? You think I didn't

720
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,239
feel like ten. I'm gonna say six or seven? Okay.

721
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:45,480
So Kyle Tucker, the spring projection, hopefully it's a winter projection,

722
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:47,679
is much lower than the current spring projection nine years

723
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:53,920
so it's twenty sixteen. They launched January. Tucker is being

724
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,639
comped to the Wan Soto and the VLA Guerrero deals.

725
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:01,440
She said, I'm sorry you say that one more time.

726
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,960
Soto was seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. VLA

727
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:14,719
Garrow is five hundred million dollars. The deal. In the

728
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,039
article says that the Correro deal is it doesn't get

729
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:20,400
done I knew news is coming. What The Guerrero deal

730
00:36:20,559 --> 00:36:25,079
is especially helpful as it removes a comparable bath from

731
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:27,599
his winter market, and set's a very sturdy baseline for

732
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:37,079
value in Tucker the deal that the Athletic has it at.

733
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,719
I appreciate you powering through that. That's very brave of you.

734
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,480
Ten years, three hundred and fifty million dollars, so I'm

735
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,199
going to be off by two years. What's that year about?

736
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:56,159
Ten three fifty? Whoa? Now if I'm not I mean,

737
00:36:56,159 --> 00:36:58,079
I like cal Tucker. I hope he gets as much

738
00:36:58,119 --> 00:36:59,920
money as possible because he's earned it. But I just

739
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:03,559
want the years to be limited, like seven seven for

740
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:09,440
two billion dollars. Let's go. He's twenty nine. Sorry, I mean, hey,

741
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,880
I'm be honest with you, and I've been very consistent

742
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,440
about this. I don't think you. I don't want to

743
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,840
pay ten ten year contracts anymore. Now for guys who

744
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,400
are twenty nine, I don't want to do it. I

745
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,960
can't do it. I can pay, I can buy out

746
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,400
arbitration years ross and you know, give to give the

747
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,239
Bobby Wood Junior Captain town type deals with the Kansley Rawls.

748
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,280
If you want to mega deal, that bad boy. I

749
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,360
can do that all day. I'm not. I'm not paying

750
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,079
for ten years for a guy who's a free agent

751
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:34,400
for the very first time. You're paying for a couple

752
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,239
of things. You're paying for the premium for the prime years,

753
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:39,760
knowing that you're going to lose on the back end.

754
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,440
You're also hoping that contracts and revenues go up and

755
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,599
contracts continue to inflate to where thirty million dollars a

756
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:50,840
year now is it as much in ten years to

757
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,079
where that's kind of a lower high end contract and

758
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,280
not as much as it is now? And so that's

759
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,119
what you're betting on, and you want to win, and

760
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:02,119
it's gonna cost you the premium to win. Well, the

761
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:04,880
only thing I got going for mere regretting the ten year,

762
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,559
seven hundred million dollars a deal to show you, O,

763
00:38:06,679 --> 00:38:08,920
Tony right now, they're not regretting it. No, No, because

764
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,360
again that's deferred to. I believe the year twenty four

765
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,920
to thirty six, that's true. The only thing I'm hoping

766
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,840
for is there's a very limited base of people that

767
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,639
can do this three three or four teams. There's nobody

768
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:22,960
in there, not even the Cardinals. A great baseball organization,

769
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,559
are like, you know what, can we put this together? No,

770
00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:27,320
you can't. The Braves aren't even thinking about this. They're

771
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,719
this workstop is just coming. These owners are gonna want

772
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,079
I mean, I mean, what is gonna be the big crucks?

773
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:35,960
Are they gonna want a full salary cap? Salary cap?

774
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,679
Dang will hide it either. And this is gonna be

775
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,719
the twenty five owners telling the Dodgers, you can't defer

776
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,039
this money like you've been deferring. You got to put

777
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:46,800
some money in the back. That has to happen that

778
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:50,159
you can't. They can't. They can't defer all the money

779
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:52,840
to where a high percentage of it comes off the

780
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,960
books towards luxury tags. And you know, they're also ridiculous,

781
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,360
they're all. You know, they're also going to do two,

782
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,760
which is gonna be a real sticking point. I think

783
00:39:00,119 --> 00:39:03,320
us they're going to pool their local TV money together,

784
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,360
is what is what they're going to do. That's yeah,

785
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,800
that's because the Dodgers. The Dodgers want no part of that.

786
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,960
They're playing a different ball game. So the Dodgers are

787
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,679
getting this hilatiously large deal from a cable company. Meanwhile,

788
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:20,079
the Podreys didn't have anybody. Some major League Baseball is

789
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:23,960
producing their broadcast, and major League Baseball is selling Podrais television.

790
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,000
And they're also going to limit rosters only three Japanese

791
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,599
phenoms per roster. That effects three teams. I'm sure that'll

792
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:34,760
really make a difference maker. So Dodgers too many Japanese phenoms.

793
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,400
They're too good. These Japanese players are too good. They

794
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:46,480
can't pitch every other every days. No, to me, they're

795
00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:48,840
not going to be unified. The owners are not gonna unified.

796
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,519
And that's what the that's what the players have a

797
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:53,679
chance to really dig in because they're going to say,

798
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,320
all of y'all have different agendas. This is it feels

799
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,719
like every time there's a baseball work work stoppage, we

800
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,719
said the same thing. The Miami Marlins have different interests

801
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,320
than the New York Yankees, the Cincinnti Reds have different

802
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,000
interests than the Los Angeles Dodgers. And at least in

803
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,320
the NFL and at least in the NBA, when those

804
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,599
owners get grumpy, they're a unified front. They're not gonna

805
00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:17,519
be unified in baseball. And I'm telling you, if I'm

806
00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:19,480
the cut out of the Rockies and I get fifty

807
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:22,920
dollars to broadcast my games, or as compared to the

808
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,199
Los Angeles Dodgers get one hundred million dollars. The Rockies

809
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:29,360
are gonna be like, we can't compete with this. So

810
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,920
are they're gonna pull the TV money together? Are they

811
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,159
going to force a salary cap. That's the easiest way

812
00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:36,599
you can so you can salurny cap. It's by saying, hey,

813
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,639
the Dodgers spend all this money because they have it,

814
00:40:39,039 --> 00:40:41,159
but if you put a threshold on them, no matter

815
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:43,320
how much money they're making from their outside TV deals,

816
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,559
you can only spend so much per season. That's how

817
00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:48,960
you probably do it. The Dodgers have no interest in

818
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,360
giving the Rockies any TV money, but they would probably say, Okay,

819
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,079
if we need a salary cap, this to make sure

820
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:55,960
that we can at least stay even on one regard,

821
00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:59,079
we can do that. This is gonna be interesting. It

822
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:03,960
is going to be long, exhaustive and frustrating. There's gonna

823
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960
be big division between the owners and the players, but

824
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:10,840
also I think big division between the owners. Absolutely. Like

825
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,000
I said before, you've got the local television deals are

826
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,440
such a seismic difference between the habs and the have nots.

827
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,599
Even the astros get got screwed because AT and T said,

828
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:28,280
We're not gonna pay you anymore. Here's the network, here

829
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,039
are the cameras, here are the here's your Dirk TV deal.

830
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:35,079
You can have it. Eleven o'clock gout feelings in one

831
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,719
half hour on Sports Talk seven ninety I'm Tomas Show

832
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:45,519
with Ross Matt and Ross with eleven o four. We

833
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:50,119
did not give the proper attention to the Dallas Cowboys,

834
00:41:50,119 --> 00:41:53,599
who lost last night to Arizona as the cardinal's nap

835
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:56,559
of five game losing streak. Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

836
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,000
what we had? The guy called yesterday, Cowboys, we're gonna

837
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:02,840
put up forty points. How can we?

838
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 4: You know?

839
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,599
Speaker 1: The Texans are our little brother and farm system. Give

840
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:10,239
us Will Anderson fore, George Pickens, right, where's that guy?

841
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,639
Dak Prescott twenty four thirty nine for two hundred and

842
00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:17,280
fifty yards a touchdown. I n T Cowboys were down

843
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,079
ninety percent of the game, got close a little bit

844
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:21,840
down the stretch. They let you Kobe Brissette beat them.

845
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:25,119
I mean, seriously, if you're a you're a Dallas Cowboy fan,

846
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:26,400
do you just want to be kicked in the testicles

847
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:31,679
repeatedly for like a half an hour? I mean one,

848
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,599
Larry Fitzgerald out there wasn't well Marvin Harrison Junior? Did

849
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:38,719
you see he had? Uh? Who was the was it?

850
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:44,719
Doron Bland? Who's the dB fella broke his ankles? Oh? Bland?

851
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,920
I think ye, yeah, Deron Bland. Marvin Harrison shook him

852
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,119
off like a bad habit. He broke his ankles. He

853
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,440
crossed him up like Alvint Allen Iverson. And the Cowboys

854
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:59,440
kept turning the ball over yesterday? Yeah, what at least

855
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,639
three turn of was that? I counted Javonte Williams turned

856
00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:04,800
the ball over? I can't remember exactly. Three was five?

857
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,119
And I saw this? You got the Texans are three

858
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:10,679
and sick. Now they're four and what's the Texas record?

859
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,599
Three and five? Three and five? The Cowboys are three

860
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,719
five and one. Yes, out of tie on one has

861
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,639
television ratings that are in the seventies in terms of share,

862
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,480
One's agin them in the twenties. If you combined the

863
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:25,119
teams with the Cowboys offense and the Texans defense, you

864
00:43:25,159 --> 00:43:27,320
did the best team in football probably that you would.

865
00:43:28,159 --> 00:43:30,159
You know, the USFL back in the eighties merged teams.

866
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:33,039
Why can't the NFL do it? The the the Eagles

867
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:35,119
and the Steelers did and in the forties when World

868
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:38,880
War Two was happening, they became the steegles See, there

869
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,400
is a president for it. All we need is a

870
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:47,280
world World war. That's a bad idea. Nice rouss nice,

871
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,599
thank you, Joda. So you went to battle in their

872
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:53,719
football reference, Okay, I would not go in that direction.

873
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,400
But that's teachers. I mean, that's what happened. You were

874
00:43:55,400 --> 00:44:03,159
talking about combining teams. Yeah, uh, Cowboys, that's crazy. You

875
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,679
think we're helpless here with Nick Cassario, Nicky c how

876
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,960
do you think Dallas fanfield Jerry Jones things. You had

877
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,920
Troy Aikman taking shots at him last night of the

878
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,039
broadcast apparently, by the way, I always thought Troy was

879
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,880
just okay. He has taken up his analysis up a notch.

880
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,159
I think he's given the zero f's factor now I

881
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,239
agree with it. I think he was measured probably in

882
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,239
his first ten years and want to step on toes

883
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:30,199
and I think ultimately Tom Brady will be that kind

884
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:32,679
of person. Brady's been getting better. I think. Yeah. I

885
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,360
like Tom. I I didn't think he was as bad

886
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,159
as people thought he was early on, and I think

887
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:39,760
he's steadily improving. Agree, I mean he was. He was

888
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,400
a little stiff at first. Anybody, anybody, Yeah, I'm sorry.

889
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,199
When this show started in twenty ten, God, Ross, Oh

890
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:51,880
you should have heard me talking like an ironing board. Lord.

891
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,719
One time you were on location and we went off

892
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,719
air and I was like, hello, it is Ross. This

893
00:45:00,559 --> 00:45:04,840
we're off air. Back in a minute. You know. I

894
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,280
had a producer in Salt Lake City that was that way,

895
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:09,280
and so what I did to open him up is

896
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,840
I would write the introductions for the show each of

897
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,679
the three hours, and I would say, Hey, everybody, it's

898
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,159
one o'clock. It's the Matt Thomas show. Here on sports

899
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,599
we call ourselves hot Tickets seven hundred back then hot ticket. Yeah,

900
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:27,280
it was a bad, bad format. Sorry, And on the

901
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,840
show today, this, this, this, and this, and at the

902
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,320
very end it would be a jab at me. Now

903
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,039
here's a man who thinks, Stephen that Jerry Jones is

904
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:38,159
in the primate GM career. Matt Thomas. So it kind

905
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:40,199
of opened him up. He got you got used the microphone.

906
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,360
That's beautiful, man. I gave you. I told you very

907
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,840
early and I said, hey, if you ever hear anything

908
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,199
you don't like, feel free to take a jab at me.

909
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,559
Oh yeah, you've you know it quite well. You've been

910
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:52,480
very nurturing. You've carved a crew out of yourself into

911
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,280
Uh yeah, you probably you have some regrets and that's okay,

912
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,599
it's fine. We were doing good. Uh hey, hello, I'm

913
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:05,199
about to hit sixteen years y'all out there. Well, some

914
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,880
people couldn't see your your intro to your your tweet

915
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:10,880
about what the show's gonna be about. Yeah, I have

916
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,719
nothing to repost and everything. It's crazy. I've got his

917
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,239
more savans. What's happening? By the way, how about Twitter

918
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,519
and not even responding to me? By the way, I

919
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:20,000
had a friend in front of the show. Jay listens

920
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:21,599
and sends me emails all the time. He says, why

921
00:46:21,639 --> 00:46:24,400
don't you get the rockets to tweet at Twitter? Would

922
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,119
that make a difference? Maybe you know the social team.

923
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:30,920
I do know the social team, and they've got how

924
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,920
many Twitter followers or rockets have millions? At least right

925
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,079
four or five million.

926
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: So.

927
00:46:37,679 --> 00:46:39,039
Speaker 1: I gotta have it. I gotta have a serious heart

928
00:46:39,039 --> 00:46:40,360
to heart with the social team and think I can

929
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:46,440
do it. Hashteg free mister Texas, Oh that's three point

930
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,400

931
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,159
me angry and it works every time. What if I

932
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,400
got a new account and called myself mister tex Yeah,

933
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,280
you should do that and keep that account with me

934
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,360
as aunt with a cowboy hat on. So you don't

935
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,559

936
00:47:01,119 --> 00:47:07,199
Butt beckle butt butt becklele belt buckle. No, I'm not

going honkey talk. Yeah, yeah, you're not, mister Texas. Yeah.

938
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,119
I'll be in San Antonio on Wednesday and on Thursday

00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:25,159
great text mex just tacos. No, that's right, the cheap

941
00:47:25,159 --> 00:47:28,679
piece of meat that became overpriced due to marketing. Go

942
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,800
tell Mama Nap about that man waiting for Mamma even

943
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:37,400
knows she knows skirt steak was cheap. Tell the story.

944
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:39,920
My dad and his live with his grandma and she

945
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,719
was the greatest cook ever lived in our family. And

946
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,840
he said, why don't we eat Fagita's Grandma and she said,

947
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,360
because we're broke, but we're not that broke.

948
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:45,679
Speaker 2: Oh.

949
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:49,119
Speaker 1: But now it's it's like there are some restaurants I

950
00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:51,119
won't mention where they are that you go there. Oh yeah,

951
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,000
it's like you look at the price, it's like it's

952
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000
like a quarter quarter pound, not a half. Usually, when

953
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,800
Fidus first came around, everybody used to eat a half

954
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,480
pound individually. Now it's a quarter pound because the half

955
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:04,039
pound is like fifty dollars. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I don't care.

956
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:07,239
I don't need fifty hours worth of cilantro flavored rice

957
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,960
and beans and your tortillas that you get you get

958
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,320
all mad at when I asked for a second round

959
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,079
of What about Tomalleys? You like ma Leves? No, No,

960
00:48:14,519 --> 00:48:17,920
those are actually originated in the valley. Say he's not

961
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,079
mister Texas Valley. Go ahead and say it. And there.

962
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:23,199
That's like you gone there and then you spit at

963
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:30,920
their food. I like Taketo's, Oh Keto, it's gonna be nice.

964
00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:34,320
Let's move. You're not. I I'm nice every day on

965
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:39,000
this show, believe it or not. Not not not hiding

966
00:48:39,079 --> 00:48:48,119
a head, not one hundred times not not not. Oh man, hey, Hey,

967
00:48:48,159 --> 00:48:50,840
cowboy fan, Seriously, you can that guy call what was

968
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,280
his name? I don't remember. I think it was Skeeter. Uh,

969
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,880
you let Yourcoby Brissette beat you, Jacobe. Jacoby is bawling.

970
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,039
He the sneak. He got three touchdowns. Do he ever

971
00:49:02,079 --> 00:49:03,920
beat the Texans as a member of the Colts? Yes?

972
00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:07,320
Do you beat the no as a Patriots? Of playoffs?

973
00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:11,079
Was it a playoff game? Don't you copt started? Or

974
00:49:11,159 --> 00:49:12,840
was it a regular season It was a big regular

975
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,440
season game. I think we would have known it if

976
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,239
Brissett would have been this in account, been him in

977
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,639
a playoff game? All right, Oh, I'll look it up.

978
00:49:19,679 --> 00:49:22,519
But you know, he's carved out a nice little NFL career.

979
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:25,000
He knows who he is. His brain isn't scrambled like

980
00:49:25,039 --> 00:49:28,920
eggs because of being hit too many times. Yeah, he's

981
00:49:29,039 --> 00:49:31,519
he's like in the backup backup Hall of Fame. Who

982
00:49:31,559 --> 00:49:35,719
is in a backup Hall of Fame? Cole McCoy, Gary Kubiak,

983
00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:42,280
Nick Foles, Gary Kubiak. But when I think about it,

984
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,159
when I think he's Keenum, hold on, when I think

985
00:49:44,159 --> 00:49:48,840
of backup quarterbacks, I don't. I think attendance is only

986
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,440
half the great the limited times you get out there,

987
00:49:52,119 --> 00:49:57,639
have you done something special? Brissette would be in that group.

988
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,639
Would Chase Daniel be in the Kase Keenum Case Keenum?

989
00:50:01,639 --> 00:50:04,239
Maybe in that Chase Daniel Chase Daniel, Right, he's an

990
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,400
all time backup because he just never played. Okay, fifty million,

991
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:09,440
that doesn't really count that. I'm talking about guys backups

992
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:15,719
why stuff? Yeah's not necessarily. Would Steve Berline back in

993
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,360
the day. Oh, would Jason Garrett be in the backup

994
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:20,800
Hall of Fame?

995
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

996
00:50:21,039 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: I think Nick Foles count qualifies that. Jonathan Allens, Yeah,

997
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,480
he won a Super Bowl? Yeah, then that would be

998
00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:28,920
what's his name, Jeff Hosteler, Hosteler backing up Phil Simms

999
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:29,800
Super Bowl?

1000
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:30,039
Speaker 2: Right?

1001
00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who else has been a backup quarterback that really

1002
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:39,480
has kicked some ass? Oliver Luck? No, Hey, Shawn Salisbury

1003
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,159
had some big games? Sean did Sean did okay for himself?

1004
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 5: Uh?

1005
00:50:46,119 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, No, you'll see that Sunday. Jake Delom I

1006
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,239
think and more. Jake Glom is more of a starter

1007
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:07,239
with the Panthers. Anything else wasn't uh, which he wouldn't

1008
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,679
call Kurt Warner. That just John You unitis, the backup

1009
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,760
to somebody. Yeah, but but he got the I mean

1010
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,079
that'd be like calling Tom Brady a backup to Drew Blodwell.

1011
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,400
Was he was the greatest backup. But I mean the

1012
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,480
greatest backup then. But but but when I say the

1013
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,079
greatest backup going back to his normal spot as a backup,

1014
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:23,719
Steve Young doesn't count then, No, Steve Young was a

1015
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,519
Hall of Famer because of his wife. Fitzpatrick, Uh, Fitzmagic

1016
00:51:27,519 --> 00:51:28,920
certainly would be in the mix. I mean he did

1017
00:51:29,039 --> 00:51:31,559
get a couple of starting opportunities. One year one in Buffalo,

1018
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:33,880
big contract. I made a lot of money. I mean

1019
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,360
there's some commercials. Teddy Bridgewater comes in as the backup.

1020
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,000
Teddy Bridgewater is a good example. Uh who else would

1021
00:51:40,039 --> 00:51:43,800
be a good example of a backup? Been around forever,

1022
00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:46,239
He's called on two or three times. Oh you know what,

1023
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,880
I got one for Andy Dalton. Oh, I was just

1024
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:55,239
thinking that back entire life started years with the Bengals. Yeah,

1025
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:56,840
but the thing but I think he's spent the last

1026
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,599
nine years a backup with like six different teams. Yeah,

1027
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:01,679
but he was starter for several years with the Bengals

1028
00:52:01,679 --> 00:52:03,559
before they finally like went very good and went very

1029
00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:06,280
good though. Seven one three two one two five seven

1030
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000
ninety seven one three two one two five seven ninety

1031
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,440
It's Matt and Ross and we are with you today

1032
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:13,599
until two pm. Seven one three two one two five

1033
00:52:13,639 --> 00:52:15,480
seven nine. We got gup fillings coming up at bottom

1034
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,760
of the hour where you get to make your predictions.

1035
00:52:18,119 --> 00:52:26,760
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety All right,

1036
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,159
seven one three two one two five seven. We got

1037
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:31,039
a lot of you trying to give examples. When I

1038
00:52:31,119 --> 00:52:36,960
think of backup quarterbacks, I think of guys that would

1039
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,599
be starters less than three years in the NFL. Okay,

1040
00:52:40,679 --> 00:52:43,760
that have always been right place, right time. Now, maybe

1041
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,800
I guess Andy Dalt would not be a how many

1042
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:51,199
years did he starting in Cincinnati? Nine? He's just a

1043
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,719
nine year starter. Yeah, remember they were they were trying

1044
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:58,440
to convince themselves he was good forever. Wow, maybe there's

1045
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,800
no such thing. And that was That was the Marvin Lewis.

1046
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,480
It was the Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton Blair era. Well,

1047
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:08,719
now it's just they can't stop a nosebla nine and

1048
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,400
seven every year. No, it looks like they went ten

1049
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,440
and six ten five. I guess the greatest example would

1050
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,960
be I mean not the greatest, but a good example.

1051
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000
What I'm speaking of is Case Skeem. Case started less

1052
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,719
than three years of his NFL career. Okay, well, would

1053
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,599
you say what ninety percent of your appearances and were

1054
00:53:26,639 --> 00:53:29,400
as a backup? Would that be fair to say eighty

1055
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,039
something like that? Seventy five? I mean, like I got

1056
00:53:32,039 --> 00:53:33,639
something in the line here, like I'm gonna get to

1057
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,760
Travis here because I'm Travis, are gonna prove my point

1058
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,280
a little bit on this, Travis, good morning to you peddlers. Yes, sir,

1059
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:46,800
Doug william was seller. Now now see but Travis, Doug Williams,

1060
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,760
as you know, because you sound like your wise football man,

1061
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:54,280
was a long time starter for the Buccaneer. You do

1062
00:53:54,360 --> 00:54:00,880
the dishes, Yeah, yeah, okay, good, Yeah. I mean he

1063
00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:03,760
was a backup. Yes, I understand that. But when I

1064
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,239
think of Doug Williams, I think of as two things.

1065
00:54:06,519 --> 00:54:10,159
One a long time Buccaneer quarterback and a guy that

1066
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,039
left to go to play in the USFL then came

1067
00:54:12,119 --> 00:54:15,159
back as a backup. But I'm talking about the true

1068
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:17,679
epitome of it, and it is not terrible. Thank you, Travis,

1069
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:21,559
With her phone call just never was never considered. QB

1070
00:54:21,639 --> 00:54:25,920
one regularly five year starter for the Buccaneers and then

1071
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,960
yeah in eighty from eighty eighty three eighty forty five,

1072
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,239
he was usfl okay and then he came back to

1073
00:54:31,639 --> 00:54:34,400
him was the backup in Washington, but then won a

1074
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,320
Super Bowl. Yeah, that's a great backup role. I mean,

1075
00:54:37,559 --> 00:54:42,719
that's that's great backup performances. Like who Like when you

1076
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,760
look at a depth chart, you never saw this guy

1077
00:54:45,159 --> 00:54:46,679
on the first line, but he was always in the

1078
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,239
second line, and he wind up happening on a little

1079
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:49,719
bit here and there. I think it's gotta be maybe

1080
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,239
it is Nick Foles. It could be Nick Foles because

1081
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,360
he was only a well, no that he was a

1082
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,679
full time start. I forgot about it. I wouldn't even

1083
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,599
use the guy. I wouldn't even use the guy that's

1084
00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:00,719
playing this year, that's playing well for two different teams

1085
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,239
or at least dead. I wouldn't even use And I

1086
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,280
hate to say this to you, Chris, but Chris, I

1087
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,360
think if Joe Flacco as a starter in the NFL

1088
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,199
for the Baltimore Ravens, Chris, do you want to fight

1089
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:08,679
me on this?

1090
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:15,079
Speaker 6: What I'll say is between him and Foles. They they

1091
00:55:15,119 --> 00:55:17,719
actually do have Super Bowl rings and they were backups

1092
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,480
quite a while. I mean, wouldn't that actually the fact

1093
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:22,480
that you want a championship?

1094
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: Nick Foles has a statue.

1095
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,599
Speaker 6: Outside of their stadiums as a backup because of one play?

1096
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,559
Speaker 1: Come on, it's true. Wait, he does have a statue

1097
00:55:31,599 --> 00:55:33,159
outside of the Eagle Stadium. I didn't know it, does

1098
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,920
Nick Foles? Yeah? Nicks to Ron Jowarski and know over Montgomery,

1099
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,639
I had no idea about that that. I think he's making.

1100
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 6: That up, and I think they were talking about it.

1101
00:55:43,079 --> 00:55:45,559
Speaker 1: You sold it as a truth, Chris. Come on, now

1102
00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:47,079
he'd be back counts.

1103
00:55:47,159 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 2: Right, that's true.

1104
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,159
Speaker 1: Hey, you know sold it. Let me tell you some Chris.

1105
00:55:50,199 --> 00:55:52,280
When a lot of people I sell it very well.

1106
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:59,159
Apparently they're hm, is this real or fake? Bud light statue?

1107
00:55:59,199 --> 00:56:02,519
Philly Special State at you? Maybe he's Maybe Chris was

1108
00:56:02,519 --> 00:56:05,800
telling the truth. Look to me, Jason Garrett's a great

1109
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,599
example of that. I don't I think Nick Foles might

1110
00:56:09,639 --> 00:56:12,480
have to be the ghost he started two years. Nick

1111
00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:14,559
Foles would be a great example. He started a full

1112
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:18,960
year basically with the with the Saint Louis Rams, and

1113
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,480
then that year he won the Super Bowl. He was

1114
00:56:21,519 --> 00:56:25,079
the backup to Carson Wentz, right, and Carson Wentz got

1115
00:56:25,159 --> 00:56:30,480
hurt and then went on and won the Super Bowl. Yep, yeah,

1116
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,440
I'm going with case Keenum. I'm going with uh, Nick Foles,

1117
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:45,000
Jason Garrett's on my short list, and of course the

1118
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,920
great Texan backup Tony Banks. Tell you what Tony Banks now, Now,

1119
00:56:50,039 --> 00:56:54,159
Tony Banks did start for the Rams for a couple

1120
00:56:54,199 --> 00:56:57,000
of years, I want to say, but he basically lived

1121
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,400
his life as an NFL backup quarterback right somewhere it

1122
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,960
was St. Louis? Was it anywhere else too? I'm trying

1123
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,320
to think of. Let me get to uh Woody here

1124
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:12,000
online two is this so high Woodrow Woodie Baltimore. You're

1125
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,440
there's only one, guys.

1126
00:57:16,239 --> 00:57:19,519
Speaker 5: You missed it, the only one in the the greatest all.

1127
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,719
Speaker 1: Time backup quarterback Don Morral of the Miami.

1128
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,119
Speaker 7: Dolphins, Bob Greasey's backup.

1129
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt, it's it's not Don Morral, it's Earl Moral. Yeah,

1130
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,599
Donna's second Donn is his second cousin. Yeah, yeah, I

1131
00:57:37,599 --> 00:57:41,239
know You're you sold it on Don Morrils. So stay

1132
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,119
with you, stay true to it Woody, we'll see you later. Thanks,

1133
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,840
it's good. It's a good point back of quarterback down.

1134
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,519
But that's that's basically your Doug Williams. But that was

1135
00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:53,079
it wasn't he Earl Morrel was in the Uh, yeah,

1136
00:57:53,119 --> 00:57:54,320
that's what I was thinking of when it was I

1137
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:55,639
was trying to think of Earl Moral when I was

1138
00:57:55,639 --> 00:57:57,719
thinking of United. Weren't they on the same team in

1139
00:57:57,719 --> 00:58:01,079
the Baltimore Courts Colts and Earl morrele he won the

1140
00:58:01,159 --> 00:58:03,840
MVP in sixty eight. But he's talking about Earl Morral

1141
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,159
backing up Don Greasy in Bob Greasey Earl Morral, but

1142
00:58:07,239 --> 00:58:09,239
he he was the backup to UNITEDS or something like

1143
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,440
that too, right, and United got her. So maybe maybe

1144
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,760
it's an Earl Morral reward or his brother Don he's

1145
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,159
the OG. That's great, you guys are forgetting I can't

1146
00:58:18,199 --> 00:58:22,639
believe you didn't talk about Don Morrel Don Morrel Morrel's

1147
00:58:22,719 --> 00:58:25,880
beef barn down in WESTA. You're getting out somebody for

1148
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,239
forgetting somebody and you can't even get their name right. Eyeah? Yeah,

1149
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,239
good times. No, I actually knew I was thinking of

1150
00:58:31,239 --> 00:58:32,760
Earl more I just didn't. I didn't know how many

1151
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,880
how many games did he started in the seventy two season.

1152
00:58:35,559 --> 00:58:38,840
In seventy two he started nine games. Yeah, because that

1153
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,599
was the perfect season for the UH for the Miami Dolphins.

1154
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:47,159
Okay at thirty eight years old. Yeah, I think if

1155
00:58:47,159 --> 00:58:49,719
guys are like forty something that backed up over there, mean,

1156
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:53,480
what like Vinnie testa Verdi. Yeah, well testa Verty started

1157
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:54,960
a lot in his NFL career. I mean he started

1158
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,880
with Cleveland, he started with the Jets, he started with

1159
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,519
the Buccaneers. He was a prolific backup, though, did you did?

1160
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:03,840
Part part of being a great backup is being able

1161
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,320
to stay a backup for as long as he was.

1162
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,639
My case came them. I mean, I think Case is

1163
00:59:09,639 --> 00:59:11,880
not retired. I think he's still activist on the injured

1164
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,559
lest I think, but he's I think he's still active

1165
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:20,360
on a football team. Wait, Case, I think now he's

1166
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,960
still in the league. I think, so let's see, Oh

1167
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,320
he's he's with the Bears. Yes, I knew that. It's

1168
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,960
just real, it's not fake. He's not on the practice squad.

1169
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,280
I don't think a player coach. I don't think he's

1170
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:33,960
suiting up. I think he's doing color commentary. I think

1171
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,159
he's doing Suldent reporting. He's got a parabolic micael. If

1172
00:59:37,199 --> 00:59:39,559
he's the fourth string quarterback and also on the sideline

1173
00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:41,760
one year, three million dollar deal, he'll be a great

1174
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,159
analyst if he wants to. I think he's going to

1175
00:59:43,199 --> 00:59:44,719
being a coach, but I think he'd be a great

1176
00:59:44,719 --> 00:59:48,679
tell the third string behind Tyson Bagent. Who Tyson? But

1177
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,199
he came out for a game like last year. Did

1178
00:59:50,239 --> 00:59:51,760
any of you I know the answer this is no,

1179
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,800
But did some of you see what Chicago did is

1180
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,960
Cincinnnie on Sunday. They scored a touchdown with forty second

1181
01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:02,000
left to go in the game. All since I need

1182
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,760
to do was prevent something from not happening, and they

1183
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,360
didn't prevent it. And Chase Brown was calling out the

1184
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,280
defense afterwards. You see that. Yeah, he's at his locker

1185
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,599
room saying, finish the bleeping game. That was bad. It

1186
01:00:15,719 --> 01:00:20,519
was pretty bad bad. He's right, though, I hope he

1187
01:00:20,519 --> 01:00:24,920
doesn't get benched my fantasy teams. You should give up

1188
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,480
on your fantasy team. No, No, the work league. I

1189
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,039
just lost some two and seven. That one's done. But

1190
01:00:29,039 --> 01:00:30,559
I'm gonna make the playoffs in two of the league.

1191
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:32,480
So I've never said this before in the history of

1192
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:34,159
you and I being the same football league. I have

1193
01:00:34,159 --> 01:00:36,119
a five game lead on you. I am the Colt

1194
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:38,159
and you are the Texans. That's fine, suck. We gotta

1195
01:00:38,159 --> 01:00:39,559
win out to make the playoffs now, So I don't

1196
01:00:39,559 --> 01:00:41,119
think it's gonna work out, but we're gonna try. We're

1197
01:00:41,119 --> 01:00:42,800
gonna try our damn justs We're hitting the waivers hard

1198
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,480
this week. Man, all right, seven starting, starting, Bam Knight

1199
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:50,760
and Woody Marks didn't work out for us. Woody Marks, Yeah,

1200
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:54,960
I like him. Durable times is tough, working hard, but

1201
01:00:55,079 --> 01:00:58,199
not an RB one times is tough. Yeah, thanks, madam Aware.

1202
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,639
I don't want them to. I just wanted to. I

1203
01:00:59,679 --> 01:01:02,199
just wanted to further aggravate you. I appreciate it's working well.

1204
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,559
Ladies and gentlemen. It's time for you to make some

1205
01:01:04,599 --> 01:01:06,639
gut feelings. This is this half hour of the show

1206
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,880
you enjoyed because we get to make some sports predictions.

1207
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,360
I wait, I made one yesterday that I will not

1208
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,760
necessarily double down, but I'll actually move it over to

1209
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,920
the gut feeling category about the Texans the rest of

1210
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,760
the way. Seven one three, two, one two five, seven

1211
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,320
ninety seven one three two one two five seven ninety

1212
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,719
If you have any sports predictions, we want to hear

1213
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,119
from you right now. Seven one three two one two

1214
01:01:27,159 --> 01:01:29,280
five seven Aunty. If you get them right, you get

1215
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,239
to call us back and brag. If you get them wrong,

1216
01:01:31,679 --> 01:01:34,079
we don't make fun of you unless you're Brad. And

1217
01:01:34,119 --> 01:01:35,920
by the way, Brad does call the show, which at

1218
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,760
this point he has not done. Anybody that calls will

1219
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,440
get in before Brad gets in. That's how easy it is.

1220
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,039
But it Brad's the only person that gets in that

1221
01:01:44,119 --> 01:01:45,599
Brad has to go on the air. So it's really

1222
01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:47,920
up to you. The longer you call in with your

1223
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,320
gut feelings, the less time Brad has a chance to

1224
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,239
speak on his on this show seven one three two

1225
01:01:53,239 --> 01:01:55,400

1226
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,880

1258
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:38,400
illegal border crossings at an all time low because Donald

1259
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,400
Trump and Senator John Cornyn have been fighting side by

1260
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:44,360
side to seal the border. Cornon has led the charge

1261
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,480
in the Senate, funding more agents, more technology, and more

1262

miles of secure border pall beating back Biden's border failures,

1266
01:04:04,599 --> 01:04:08,840
and together Trump and Cornyn put America first. They've worked

1267
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,760
to keep our family safe and are boarder defended.

Speaker 2: This Thomas, you only got a good feeling.

1316
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: This is their gut feeling on the Matt Thomas Show.

1317
01:06:53,639 --> 01:06:56,079
All right, last week, I was alf on a Tuesday

1318
01:06:56,079 --> 01:06:57,880
because I was doing the college schedule for a week,

1319
01:06:58,079 --> 01:06:59,960
and which means I think I called in with one prediction.

1320
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,360
You and Jonathan had to take over. Now you didn't

1321
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,480
do the Rotten five. I have proof of that because

1322
01:07:07,519 --> 01:07:09,360
I got a great email from a listener of ours

1323
01:07:11,079 --> 01:07:14,920
that listen to your Live Wire and he says the following,

1324
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,679
It's from Robert Ross and under the Rotten five. Last week,

1325
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,880
I was highly disappointed because I knew the Saints would

1326
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:21,400
be in the Rotten five and we would hear the

1327
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:28,880
Chris Gordy Cajun Crawfis drop say the shaman Ross. Ha ha,

1328
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:32,280
that's from Robert. So Robert out you. Robert, You're a

1329
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,679
snitch and nobody likes you. I'm going to reply to him.

1330
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,000
Thanks for the honesty. We don't get enough honesty on

1331
01:07:39,039 --> 01:07:42,199
this show. Seven one three two one two five seven

1332
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,519
ninety seven one three two, one two five seven ninety

1333
01:07:44,519 --> 01:07:46,480
How did you guys do last week in your gut feelings? Well,

1334
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:50,000
let's go with uh, well, your gut feeling Oh, I

1335
01:07:50,039 --> 01:07:53,199
forgot about this is random? No NFL games at nine

1336
01:07:53,239 --> 01:07:56,840
pm next year. Yeah, stay with that. We'll see, we'll

1337
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,039
come check back that next year. I mean there's any chan,

1338
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,239
there's any chan will happened to probably be on the

1339
01:08:01,239 --> 01:08:04,599
Week one, like a doubleheader. I said that the Texans

1340
01:08:04,599 --> 01:08:07,639
would defeat the Broncos twenty three to nineteen. I would

1341
01:08:07,639 --> 01:08:10,920
have been right if CJ. Shreud weren't knocked out by dirty,

1342
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,679
reckless hits. It was Denver Broncos, clean play. That's fine.

1343
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,479
Uh so the Texans did not beat the Broncos. I

1344
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,279
was also off on this. I said Dodgers in six.

1345
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,720
I was with the Dodgers in seven. You know what

1346
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,640
you get more credit is I want to I think

1347
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,399
I said Dodgers in five. Honestly, I didn't think it

1348
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:33,119
was gonna be a series, and you know, they gave

1349
01:08:33,199 --> 01:08:37,239
us a great series. That's why, again, it takes money

1350
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:39,560
to get to the playoffs. You have to still be

1351
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,159
excellent in the playoffs. Well. Also, lest we forget, the

1352
01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:46,000
Blue Jays had the number five payroll in baseball. It's

1353
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,359
not like they are these plucky underdogs with a small

1354
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:49,560
payroll in a small market.

1355
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1356
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not saying you're saying that. No, I'm

1357
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,079
spinning flat and George are a lot of money. Vlamo

1358
01:08:55,159 --> 01:08:58,399
Guerrero signed like a half a billion dollar contract which

1359
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,600
is worth six hundred million dollars on it. That's not

1360
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,680
like this upstart you know nobody, but team of nobody's

1361
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,439
ragtag group. The Blue Jays had a big payroll too.

1362
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,079
But I will say this, don't you think I'm fair

1363
01:09:08,079 --> 01:09:09,880
and saying that ninety eight percent of North America were

1364
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:13,000
rooting for the Blue Jays. I don't know about ninety

1365
01:09:13,039 --> 01:09:15,560
eight percent? Sure? Why not? By the way, ratings for

1366
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,000
the World Series astronomically high, yes, which is saying something

1367
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:22,800
because usually when you include a Canadian team in said

1368
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,680
NBA of Sports Finals, you don't get to draw any

1369
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,640
of their TV numbers from there. It was also seven

1370
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,880
games and a lot of the games are extremely compelling.

1371
01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:33,640
Baseball is good, Baseball's in a good spot, playoff baseball

1372
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,079
is good, and they I think I saw forty seven

1373
01:09:37,159 --> 01:09:41,359
percent of Canada watch the game seven at some point.

1374
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,560
Think about that for a second. For every one hundred

1375
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,840
households that you have been knocking the door and say hi,

1376
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,159
I'm ross, forty seven of them were watching the game,

1377
01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:52,880
Which made me think what are they have the fifty

1378
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,800
three ye watch hockey of course, yeah, probably hockey hockey

1379
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,399
was on. You know, Canada's a sports crazy country. I mean,

1380
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,520
I know we're sports crazy, but they're really sports great.

1381
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,359
They stay indoors. You gotta watch sports. They don't want

1382
01:10:03,359 --> 01:10:05,279
to do the even watched curling two, which I've been

1383
01:10:05,279 --> 01:10:07,439
trying to watch twenty outside. You're not gonna go out

1384
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,680
there and you know, go play some pickle ball. That's true.

1385
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,520
All right, what else you got, uh, Jonathan? So I

1386
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,119
said that. I said Dodgers and six Texans beat the Broncos.

1387
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:22,359
Jonathan said the Astros will sign Dylan Cease, Okay, to

1388
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,000
be determined on that. I think the projections are round

1389
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,560
a five year deal for him. So that's within the

1390
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,239
realm of possibility. This could be a nice hit for

1391
01:10:28,279 --> 01:10:30,560
Jonathan Allen, Jonathan, that one. If you hit on that one,

1392
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,880
that'll be that's give yourself like multiple round of applauses. Yeah,

1393
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,239
and it was. You know, I have to give a

1394
01:10:35,239 --> 01:10:37,640
little Uh. I got a little nuds from our man

1395
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,000
over there, Gordy. So I'm not gonna take Okay, I mean,

1396
01:10:40,039 --> 01:10:44,560
you're still in Gordy's bitch. You know. Oh, okay, you

1397
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,119
just want to take give him the blame if you're wrong.

1398
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:48,439
I got you. I see where you're working. Uh. He

1399
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,439
also said the Blue Jays, Now, when we did this,

1400
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,119
they were down to one. He said they were gonna

1401
01:10:52,119 --> 01:10:54,920
win three straight and win the World Series in six.

1402
01:10:55,159 --> 01:10:58,319
He was almost there, Yeah, until the ball got stuck

1403
01:10:58,319 --> 01:11:02,239
in the Yeah. But Brady Norwood tells us almost doesn't count.

1404
01:11:02,359 --> 01:11:04,880
Let me ask you this, can we can we go

1405
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,479
to every baseball stadium and make sure that never happens again?

1406
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,399
Or is that just gonna sometime is going to happen

1407
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:15,039
that because the outfield wall is made of obviously soft material,

1408
01:11:15,079 --> 01:11:18,239
that you're gonna have stuff stuck. I mean that we're

1409
01:11:18,279 --> 01:11:20,159
in twenty twenty five, ross, how can we not? We

1410
01:11:20,279 --> 01:11:23,600
need to make sure that doesn't happen again. We'll get

1411
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,479
some people right on it. People at the Rogers Center,

1412
01:11:26,319 --> 01:11:30,039
people everywhere. You mean, like physicists, Yeah, sure, why not?

1413
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:36,159
Chemist uh huh, mathematicians, everybody, profile focus all of our best. Yeah.

1414
01:11:36,359 --> 01:11:39,159
The pooonhounds that they are, the pooonhounds, that's for sure,

1415
01:11:39,159 --> 01:11:40,600
all right. I would kind of go in my predictions,

1416
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,680
So sure, why not? Number one Texans do not make

1417
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,680
the playoffs. It's not on a gol Okay, yeah, cool,

1418
01:11:46,079 --> 01:11:49,520
it's like you have like a one percent chance. Number two,

1419
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,279
Nick Cayley gets a relieved of his duties at the

1420
01:11:51,319 --> 01:11:56,159
end of this year. Oh come on. Number three. If

1421
01:11:56,199 --> 01:11:58,800
Mike McDaniel becomes available, which he will be, the Texans

1422
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,880
will grab him, as they often. It's a coordinator. I

1423
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,359
mean he was with San Francisco while Demiko is there.

1424
01:12:04,399 --> 01:12:06,239
Is it his turn to pick? Do they? Are they

1425
01:12:06,279 --> 01:12:10,159
alternating offensive coordinator picks? All right, Demiico, you got slowick

1426
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,000
Kaylee was my guy. Now it's your turn. Here's how

1427
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,439
it's gonna go down. Hannah and and Demik are gonna

1428
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,399
have lunch at the Nema Marcus Cafe. You know they

1429
01:12:18,399 --> 01:12:20,479
have a cafe and Nema Marcus. I mean it's the

1430
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,600
Oh absolutely, it's the most sheshy place in town. Really.

1431
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,079
You have lunch at the department store, and that's where

1432
01:12:26,079 --> 01:12:27,800
Demiko's like, you sure you want to meet it? We

1433
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,560
can go eat it like a big city.

1434
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 2: You know.

1435
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Well we didn't even mark. She's like, I gotta pick up.

1436
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,159
I gotta go there anyway, I got a block card

1437
01:12:33,159 --> 01:12:34,600
to pick you know. I got him a new black card,

1438
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,800
Platinum card. He's like you, let Nikki see to this.

1439
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,239
It's my turn now. I want a guy I can trust.

1440
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,199
So that's my third one, and my fourth one is

1441
01:12:42,279 --> 01:12:45,119
much more. On the media, the Houston Cougars will defeat

1442
01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:51,079
UCF by at least ten points on Friday night. Boom,

1443
01:12:52,119 --> 01:12:57,319
where's that game in Orlando? Friday, Friday night primetime on

1444
01:12:57,399 --> 01:13:04,000
a Friday night Houston, Central Florida America waits. There's a

1445
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,239
lot of sting is taken out of that last week,

1446
01:13:06,279 --> 01:13:08,479
a lot of sting. I mean the entire thing. It's

1447
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,680
nude on that one. I don't know. I don't care

1448
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,600
about you're saying by at least ten, at least ten.

1449
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,560
I'm just curious, you know, just seeing uh, just seeing

1450
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:21,119
what it is relative to the line. Oh yours okay,

1451
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,319
Central Florida favorites in that one. You heard me, I

1452
01:13:24,319 --> 01:13:27,920
didn't stutter minus one point five. It's a close one.

1453
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,680
Cougar's by at least ten. I'm gonna go with the

1454
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,399
UCF Knights win. What are they called the Southern Knights,

1455
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:39,319
the Golden Knights, the Platinum Nights? Are there? Just the

1456
01:13:39,399 --> 01:13:41,000
Knight that used to be the Golden Knights. Right now

1457
01:13:41,039 --> 01:13:43,520
they're just the Knights. You usually it's just the Knights. Okay,

1458
01:13:44,199 --> 01:13:47,439
the Golden Knights are in Las Vegas. Sure why UCF

1459
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:52,399
Knights can win? That'll be my prediction. Okay, and a

1460
01:13:52,399 --> 01:13:55,720
big one. You hear that, Cook Fans dot com and

1461
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:02,159
the University of Texas basketball squad in Charlotte, they're gonna

1462
01:14:02,199 --> 01:14:05,079
brave the elements and cover the spread and cover the

1463
01:14:05,159 --> 01:14:07,479
night half. I you were gonna say they were gonna win.

1464
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:12,720
I knew that was coming. Matas Muta Zechias and the

1465
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,800
boys are ready to pounce and cover the nine and

1466
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:22,560
a half. Jonathan flor Is yours. Uh, next time we

1467
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,920
come back to the show, Rockets will be on an

1468
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:29,000
eight game win streak. Eight games games? Yeah, got they

1469
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,680
wouldn't been five? Are not right? No, they're four? Okay?

1470
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,640
So seven okay, So let's see. Let's see how smart

1471
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,720
you are on this. That's not too difficult. I don't think.

1472
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:37,079
Speaker 14: Uh.

1473
01:14:37,319 --> 01:14:42,319
Speaker 1: At Memphis, at San Antonio actually the only one actually

1474
01:14:43,199 --> 01:14:45,119
this is gonna be this will be a feather in

1475
01:14:45,159 --> 01:14:49,159
the cap. And at Milwaukee. Okay, that's tough. So I

1476
01:14:49,159 --> 01:14:50,920
see where you're going with this, because after that it's

1477
01:14:51,159 --> 01:14:55,399
Washington home Portland at home in Orlando. Who's been disappointing

1478
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,359
so far? Portland's been good though. Did they win last night?

1479
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:01,800
I know they're tough with the Lakers. Okay, I see

1480
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,560
where you're going with this. It'd be tough. I'm just

1481
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,960
a nice feather in the cap. If that works out,

1482
01:15:08,319 --> 01:15:12,399
the Lakers beat the Blazers. Okay. DeAndre Aiden had twenty

1483
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,960
nine and ten. Does he care about basketball? Again? That's

1484
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,840
actually be good for the Lakers, if he's actually caring

1485
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,720
about basketball. The second oldest player ever to play in

1486
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:23,119
the NBA behind Greg Odin, That's not true. He just

1487
01:15:23,159 --> 01:15:26,640
looks like your your uncle. It looks like he's a

1488
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,880
character in an Eddie Murphy movie. Okay, you know with

1489
01:15:30,039 --> 01:15:36,399
Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy's actually is actually Deander Eaton and

1490
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,880
Austin Reeves is bawling, averaging thirty one game. Yeah, it's

1491
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,239
like Lebron got the way his glute still hurt. I've

1492
01:15:43,319 --> 01:15:45,840
never I'm not checked on his glute. You haven't. No,

1493
01:15:46,159 --> 01:15:48,039
I don't check out a gluteus injury. I don't check

1494
01:15:48,079 --> 01:15:51,119
on men's glutes. Do you are the Lakers for real.

1495
01:15:52,399 --> 01:15:54,600
This is a problem because I was looking at the

1496
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,039
standings last night Matt Thomas on the Rockets Wrap. Wait,

1497
01:15:58,239 --> 01:16:00,279
you can't look at standings this early. Well, somebody on

1498
01:16:00,279 --> 01:16:01,920
the Rockets Rap Collin Show was saying, hey, do you

1499
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,720
think they have a shot at the championship. I'm saying,

1500
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,039
you watch this team on the floor. Their championship caliber,

1501
01:16:06,079 --> 01:16:07,479
but you have to do it. Relative. That's not the

1502
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,479
only team in the NBA thunder or tough. Are the

1503
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,920
Spurs and Lakers going to be real? Nuggets are there

1504
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,239
right now? You're the fifth seed. Timberwolves are back to

1505
01:16:15,279 --> 01:16:18,159
back Western Conference finalists, and they're getting Anthony Edwards back

1506
01:16:18,199 --> 01:16:21,199
from his hamstring injury. Golden State Warriors, I haven't even

1507
01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:24,439
mentioned the unction with the Clippers are actually not that bad.

1508
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,600
Freaking Western Conference is ridiculous. Let's ask the commissioner for

1509
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,640
a mid conference change. You know what, Rockets finished top

1510
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,640
three though I'm saying it, there you go. I believe

1511
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,039
that's a gout feeling. I'm listen to me, lazy gentlemen.

1512
01:16:38,079 --> 01:16:39,880

want to do such a thing. I don't want you

1523
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:23,039

01:17:23,159 --> 01:17:26,119
Houston related? Save it? How many? Now you guys gotta

1525
01:17:26,119 --> 01:17:28,439

1526
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,079
I don't I don't have Twitter. Look you're locked and

1527
01:17:31,239 --> 01:17:35,119
locked down. I can't say don't go on Wavebusters listen up?

1528
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:37,520
Speaker 15: So appealing?

1529
01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Wasn't that toomit? Yo? They got a good dealer. This

1530
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,359
is their gut feeling on the Matt Thomas Show. All right,

1531
01:17:45,359 --> 01:17:47,880
a corner to Ross. We gotta we got some breaking news.

1532
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:56,760
That's one. That's two. Are you gonna go thirty? Yes?

1533
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,560
Can I try to guess? Absolutely sure? What's sport? I got?

1534
01:18:00,039 --> 01:18:06,199
I get texted to you, uh NFL trade, I'm gonna

1535
01:18:06,359 --> 01:18:08,479
you know what I I that's there's thirty two teams.

1536
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,680
I couldn't do it. It's nothing Texans Texans related, Isn't

1537
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:16,479
it not? Really? Please? It's in division. Go ahead. Sauce

1538
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:28,000
Gardner Thomas Sports Enterprises traded to the Indianapolis. Hell yeah,

1539
01:18:28,119 --> 01:18:31,560
let's go, Sauce, let's go. Oh sorry, why are you saying? Oh,

1540
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:35,520
hell yeah? Because I'm a Sauce Gardner guy. What does

1541
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,760
it matter to you what team he's on. Thomas Sports

1542
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:44,079
Enterprises remains bullish and has always been bullish on Sauce Gardner. Oh,

1543
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:47,399
this is not good for the Texans. Two first round picks,

1544
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:56,119
damn Ian Rappaport first on the scene. By the way,

1545
01:18:56,199 --> 01:19:05,720
another trade, Eh, this is probably one. Rashid Shaheed to

1546
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:11,760
the Seahawks New Orleans Saints wide receiver. Okay, I don't

1547
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,880
care about that. Breese Hall needs to be Houston, Texan

1548
01:19:15,399 --> 01:19:21,399
in two hours. Wow. Sauce Garden is already gonna get

1549
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:22,640
big money. By the way, I don't think it kicks

1550
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:27,199
until next year. Yep. Like they are paying his premium

1551
01:19:27,279 --> 01:19:32,319
cornerback price contract and two first round picks because he's

1552
01:19:32,319 --> 01:19:35,199
worth it. Coults are going all in. Yeah, they want

1553
01:19:35,199 --> 01:19:36,960
to win the Ams. Oh my god, you're such a

1554
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,600
sauce lover. Just because you randomly thought he'd be good

1555
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,000
because he played for Cincinnati. I didn't randomly think of it.

1556
01:19:42,119 --> 01:19:44,720
I saw him play in person. What the dog in college?

1557
01:19:45,159 --> 01:19:47,199
Thank you very much, Thank you very much. And I

1558
01:19:47,239 --> 01:19:51,000
saw him play in person twice, So I accept your apology.

1559
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:55,560
My scouting services were saw him right there at Nippert Stadium. Knipper,

1560
01:19:56,079 --> 01:19:59,319
that's nip p language. Wants your language, Matt All. We

1561
01:19:59,359 --> 01:20:00,479
got people to talk to here.

1562
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 2: Now.

1563
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,279
Speaker 1: Remember the rule is the longer you call in. It's

1564
01:20:03,279 --> 01:20:06,520
already on his wiki page that he's a cult. Love it,

1565
01:20:07,359 --> 01:20:11,560
not all of it for the Texans, rad spartacular, the culture,

1566
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,279
the culture going all in, culture going all in. Imagine

1567
01:20:14,279 --> 01:20:16,920
that France, an NFL team in the ANC South going

1568
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,399
all in. Yeah, but two first round picks for cornerback

1569
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:22,359
and you're paying him big money. That's pretty wild. He's elite.

1570
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,880
Alan Conrae, what's in your gut this week?

1571
01:20:26,159 --> 01:20:26,399
Speaker 16: Hey?

1572
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,239
Speaker 7: My feeling is that the Texans dollars just reach out

1573
01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:31,840
to plase Keenum for the rest of the season. He's

1574
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,399
the only one that's available that's led the NFL team

1575
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:35,640
to the NFC champs.

1576
01:20:36,279 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: Bear He's unembarrassed. You have the trade for him.

1577
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know he's with the Bears, but not using him.

1578
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't just reach out to him. You

1579
01:20:45,319 --> 01:20:48,600
got you got the trade for him.

1580
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 7: Oh so he's not available?

1581
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: Not available?

1582
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,560
Speaker 7: Well, then then the Texans to that. When Keenum was

1583
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,720
with Saint Louis Cardinals and they pulled him and we

1584
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:59,119
won two games to make the playoffs.

1585
01:21:00,079 --> 01:21:01,079
Speaker 1: Was never a Cardinal.

1586
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:03,039
Speaker 2: He was.

1587
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,359
Speaker 7: He was with other team and he was like, I'm

1588
01:21:05,399 --> 01:21:08,760
the third string quarterback and he led the Attentions to

1589
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,199
win their last two games of the season to make

1590
01:21:11,239 --> 01:21:11,920
the playoffs.

1591
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: Was any Minnesota Viking was at a Minnesota Vianking He

1592
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:16,800
was good with the Vikings. I think for for brief,

1593
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,800
we're gonna we're gonna end this. And then he's he's

1594
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,399
been a backup at like four different stops. Yeah, I forgot.

1595
01:21:21,399 --> 01:21:28,479
He was with Buffalo. His career earnings astronomical correct for guys,

1596
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:31,880
well relative to you and I yes, you I should say,

1597
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,079
all right, next up, I can find his career earnings

1598
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:39,560
like Matt can I try to guess. Sure, when I

1599
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,800
want to get within a million dollars, within one million,

1600
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,760
that'd be tough. Go ahead, how about two million dollars.

1601
01:21:45,199 --> 01:21:47,359
I'll give you within I'll give you within five. That's

1602
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,920
nice of you. Dave on seven Day was in your gut.

1603
01:21:51,119 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 4: Here's what's in my gut. This weekend, we saw an

1604
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,600
NFL kicker on the Jaguars set of record with a

1605
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,199
sixty eight yard field goal. And I'm going to tell

1606
01:21:59,239 --> 01:22:01,680
you that, based on what I'm seeing the leg strength

1607
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,520
of today's kickers, that record's not going to last long.

1608
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,479
And before this season is over, we are going to

1609
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,720
see a seventy yard field goal from somebody.

1610
01:22:10,079 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: What do you think that is not a crazy thought?

1611
01:22:12,039 --> 01:22:13,960
We were just talking about the other day and I

1612
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,840
want to know, Ross. Is it because the day's kickers

1613
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,960
are bigger, faster, stronger, or is it because they get

1614
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,640
to choose the ball and they put a bottle rocket

1615
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,319
in there? The ball is helpful? But yeah, it's just

1616
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,840
I mean, people have kicking coaches and this is what

1617
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,760
they work on their entire lives, and I mean, you

1618
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,720
still have some bad kickers. The Falcons are on their

1619
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:37,319
third kicker. I think at this point, Oh, the a

1620
01:22:37,359 --> 01:22:39,079
spot track is trying to make me make an account.

1621
01:22:39,199 --> 01:22:42,000
Don't do that. We don't need that. Google AI says, Oh,

1622
01:22:42,079 --> 01:22:44,760
do you want to guess with you even within five

1623
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:50,159
million dollars, Yeah, twenty six million, fifty five point seven

1624
01:22:50,399 --> 01:22:53,960
case Keenum has made fifty six million dollars ladies and gentlemen,

1625
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:58,399
fifty six million. Not bad. Not bad for one of

1626
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:02,359
the greatest college quarterbacks of all time. Yep, Roger, Roger

1627
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:03,039
was in your gut.

1628
01:23:05,039 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 17: Oh man, I'm just Rocket related. I really think that

1629
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,439
the uh the Rockets. First of all, a game like

1630
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,880
that yesterday would have been easily lost yes last year,

1631
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,199
last season. Uh that the shot making just wasn't there.

1632
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,079
And if if we're hitting.

1633
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 2: The shot last year wouldn't easily lost that game.

1634
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 15: But I gotta I got a feeling we're gonna have

1635
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,640
two All stars, uh the we'll got three. Also, I'm

1636
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,920
gonna have a of course, KD gonna have Shangoon and

1637
01:23:32,239 --> 01:23:34,479
uh I'm in. And you're gonna have a sixth Man

1638
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,960
of the Year in uh Interry Easton and two guys,

1639
01:23:39,079 --> 01:23:41,800
two players I'm not sure whose players will be uh

1640
01:23:42,279 --> 01:23:44,399
top five defensive player of the year, would.

1641
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:51,359
Speaker 2: Two two two two to the top five?

1642
01:23:52,319 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 17: Was it wasn't Man and was Jabari probably most like that's.

1643
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:01,239
Speaker 1: Proba Jabari may not had a type of name recondition

1644
01:24:01,319 --> 01:24:03,119
is going to get into that spot. You gotta get

1645
01:24:03,159 --> 01:24:05,600
him up there, though, Alpryn sching Goon's already pushing it.

1646
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:12,720
He said, dpo, Y see him on the second team. Okay, defense,

1647
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,640
it'd be nice if you got the first team, but uh,

1648
01:24:16,039 --> 01:24:18,119
I don't know. It's gonna be hard for a guy

1649
01:24:18,239 --> 01:24:21,640
that's gonna that doesn't get the kind of limelight that

1650
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,000
Franklin Man Thompson gets. But do you know what you

1651
01:24:24,119 --> 01:24:25,840
keep defending the way that you do, you can then

1652
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,079
you can definitely that. Yeah, let's go to uh Caso.

1653
01:24:29,119 --> 01:24:30,520
What's in your chilikin gut Caso?

1654
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:37,039
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, I got a couple of things for the Rockets.

1655
01:24:37,279 --> 01:24:40,520
I feel like the offense will take a slight dip

1656
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,479
here as the season goes on. I just think with

1657
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:47,439
LP and Katie having a lot of the heavy load

1658
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,359
that it's just eventually that time is going to kind

1659
01:24:50,399 --> 01:24:53,399
of come back down to earth. But I do expect

1660
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,279
the defense to ramp up. I think they're ranked nineteenth

1661
01:24:56,399 --> 01:24:58,880
right now, which compared to last year when they were five.

1662
01:24:59,039 --> 01:25:02,560
It's pretty big slide. So I think things will come

1663
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,319
back down to earth. And then my second gut is

1664
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,600
I think the Rockets go and get a band aid

1665
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,479
this year for a point guard. I don't know what who,

1666
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:13,840
but I want to know what you guys think as

1667
01:25:14,199 --> 01:25:17,960
not a major hall but just a small upgrade to

1668
01:25:18,279 --> 01:25:19,600
help that point guard position.

1669
01:25:20,239 --> 01:25:23,119
Speaker 1: Thanks, okay, thanks to the phone call. I think the

1670
01:25:23,239 --> 01:25:25,399
Rockets will kick the tires of the trade deadline if

1671
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:26,920
they don't, if they feel like that Reid does not

1672
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:27,880
progressed to that level.

1673
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:29,239
Speaker 7: And again.

1674
01:25:31,279 --> 01:25:34,199
Speaker 1: I feel stupid doing this, but damn it, I listened

1675
01:25:34,239 --> 01:25:37,199
to the Rockets wrap yesterday and you did that a

1676
01:25:37,279 --> 01:25:38,920
six to seven point guard is going to have more

1677
01:25:39,039 --> 01:25:41,439
turnover prone because of the size of being six to

1678
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:46,199
seven and drip on the ball. Maybe sick to hear

1679
01:25:46,279 --> 01:25:50,199
that and agree with it. Is the mac Thomas Show

1680
01:25:50,800 --> 01:26:09,760
with rock Yeah, straight away, holiday down the heart of

1681
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:11,880
the lane. He's the smallest guy on the floor. It

1682
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:13,720
doesn't matter. He's gonna ana one come up because he

1683
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,439
drops the lamp in for two. Played some good minutes

1684
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:23,279
here in the second round. Thompson between the rings. The

1685
01:26:23,319 --> 01:26:25,119
bounce pass to the top of the key for shingting

1686
01:26:25,199 --> 01:26:28,199
with his back to that top face the double team.

1687
01:26:28,239 --> 01:26:30,479
Gaffer comes out out by himself, back up behind him

1688
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,479
to Durant. Give it a go. Sheng gun pump fakes

1689
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,359
once twice, window goes os O A PJ. Washington for

1690
01:26:36,399 --> 01:26:46,039
two moments behind him Durant Durant top of the key

1691
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,760
step been looking for his first three. Is gonna try

1692
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,600
right here and nail him. It took him seven attempts

1693
01:26:52,039 --> 01:26:54,640
for the three ball gives the Rockets of four pointly.

1694
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,359
In ninety six ninety two, now Gaffard won on one

1695
01:26:58,359 --> 01:27:00,600
against dram I'm up back to back three. We're cany.

1696
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,279
It took him to the fourth quarter, but it works

1697
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:14,199
bye poorly. Ninety nine ninety four, Houston Alfie just dribbled

1698
01:27:14,239 --> 01:27:16,479
the basketball the mid cord or shot clock at ten

1699
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,239
Game Park at one. Alfie crossover dribble left hand against Grafford,

1700
01:27:21,319 --> 01:27:23,720
turned spins floater five footer. That's the best move that

1701
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,000
Alfie said all night long. Went one on one against

1702
01:27:27,119 --> 01:27:30,920
Daniel Gafford. He went up, spun right, hit the eight footer.

1703
01:27:31,239 --> 01:27:34,079
Rockets up by one O five one O two store,

1704
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:40,920
I was holding you outside nineteen the shot, but I'm

1705
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,479
going to try a contestantry that's blocked by men Thompson.

1706
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:49,159
My goodness, a kogie lobs de Eathan Gathers, dunks sales

1707
01:27:49,279 --> 01:27:53,680
a rocket victory fifteen seconds remaining, one ten to one

1708
01:27:53,720 --> 01:28:02,399
O two. Sports Talk seven ninety it is Madden Ross,

1709
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:07,119
let's get right to it. Time now for the Edward R.

1710
01:28:07,279 --> 01:28:10,840
Meurrale of sports news headline journalism. It's well, he's not here,

1711
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,119
so it's Ross. Thank you, Matt, I appreciate it. Yes,

1712
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:19,720
you're Houston Rockets holding off off the Dallas Mavericks with

1713
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,119
the one ten to one oh five excuse me, one

1714
01:28:22,159 --> 01:28:25,760
O two victory to improve to four and two on

1715
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,279
the season, fourth straight victory. Amen Thompson leading the team

1716
01:28:29,359 --> 01:28:32,520
in scoring, he had twenty seven points. Now he was

1717
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,319
just four to seven from the free throw line on

1718
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,520
a night where they did not play their best, just

1719
01:28:39,039 --> 01:28:43,399
twenty seven point six percent from three, just sixty six

1720
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,039
point seven percent from the free throw line. Turned the

1721
01:28:46,119 --> 01:28:49,359
ball over seventeen times, seventeen points off of those given

1722
01:28:49,399 --> 01:28:51,159
to the Mavericks. A lot of fast break points for

1723
01:28:51,199 --> 01:28:53,560
the MAVs as well. The Rockets able to get the

1724
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,439
victory win. They're fourth straight when they don't have their

1725
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,600
best the mark of a good team, even though, of

1726
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:02,279
course the Dallas Mavericks were down several key players. Rockets

1727
01:29:02,319 --> 01:29:05,000
play at Memphis tomorrow night. John Moran after the game

1728
01:29:05,079 --> 01:29:07,319
last night as they lost to the Detroit Pistons, says,

1729
01:29:07,359 --> 01:29:10,479
he's got no joy, So that should be a real

1730
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,560
fun atmosphere for the folks in the midsto have been

1731
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,159
suspended for conduct detrimental of the team. Yeah, correct, Yeah,

1732
01:29:15,199 --> 01:29:18,520
one game. Okay, Well he's back. Maybe he'll be angry

1733
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,760
or maybe he'll be completely checked out. That'd be nice

1734
01:29:21,119 --> 01:29:24,039
to see for the Houston Rockets in action Wednesday, and

1735
01:29:24,119 --> 01:29:26,439
then a big game coming up Friday against the five

1736
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,840
and one San Antonio Spurs. NET rating, which you know, Matthew,

1737
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,600
is the offensive rating points pro procession minus the defensive

1738
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,000
rating points procession given up. Huh Rockets second in the

1739
01:29:37,159 --> 01:29:40,920
NBA thunder the best team in the league. Houston Rockets

1740
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,640
number two. There is a very strong correlation between net

1741
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,720
rating and the best teams in the NBA year after year,

1742
01:29:46,079 --> 01:29:49,640
so the Rocket's number two early on in that metric.

1743
01:29:50,359 --> 01:29:53,560
Nice to see elsewhere. You have the news that we

1744
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:58,079
talked about recently, Sauce Gardner. Full details coming in about

1745
01:29:58,119 --> 01:30:02,359
the trade, the Jets raiding Sauce Gardner, who signed the

1746
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,399
four year, one hundred and twenty million dollar extension this

1747
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:09,680
offseason that does not kick in till next year. Sauce

1748
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:13,000
Gardener going to the Indianapolis Colts on the way back

1749
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:19,680
to first round picks, and wide receiver A. D. Mitchell

1750
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:24,560
going to the Jets Jets are building for twenty twenty six.

1751
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:26,960
Clearly a great deal for the Jets. Absolutely, you get

1752
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,319
off the hook of that big contract to play a cornerback. Now,

1753
01:30:29,359 --> 01:30:31,560
of course you have to pay cornerbacks big money, but

1754
01:30:32,159 --> 01:30:35,760
they're not necessarily the premium position like quarterback or defensive

1755
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,840
end or left tackle or anything like that. You get

1756
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:42,039
back two picks, two first round picks, and you take

1757
01:30:42,039 --> 01:30:44,079
a fire on eighty Mitchell. Eighty Mitchell hasn't been good

1758
01:30:44,119 --> 01:30:46,720
early on in his NFL career, but he was a

1759
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,760
first round pick or beginning of the second round pick,

1760
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,680
I believe, out of course, out of of course, the

1761
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:57,680
University of Texas, Uh, let me see, yes, second round

1762
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,920
O the middle of the second round, fifty second over

1763
01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:03,520
all pick in twenty twenty four, has yet to score

1764
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,520
a receiving touchdown, of course, famously drop the ball in

1765
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,119
that game earlier this year, Colts have been fed up

1766
01:31:09,119 --> 01:31:12,800
with ad Mitchell. About seven people that have dropped the ball. Yeah,

1767
01:31:13,199 --> 01:31:16,359
so Ady Mitchell could already be wide receiver too if

1768
01:31:16,399 --> 01:31:18,560
he's gonna get the playing time. Eric wils has been

1769
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,800
hurt the last couple of weeks, yes, knee injury, but

1770
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,920
he is practicing this week. Probably going to be back

1771
01:31:23,399 --> 01:31:28,239
is Garrett Wilson. But still I'd say a bit of

1772
01:31:28,239 --> 01:31:30,159
an overpay for the Colts, but they're going all in

1773
01:31:30,279 --> 01:31:32,800
trying to win a championship. You understand AFC is very tough.

1774
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,560
You don't think Indianapolis Radio is going bonkers over this, ah,

1775
01:31:37,199 --> 01:31:40,279
I mean, I think it's a steep price to pay.

1776
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:42,520
Even though just the two first round picks not worried

1777
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,159
about Ady Mitchell necessarily, he didn't factor into their offense.

1778
01:31:45,279 --> 01:31:49,439
Ask you, this is the AFC absolutely winnable this year.

1779
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,840
Kansas City looks human. Buffalo still looks like Buffalo. The

1780
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,279
Chargers haven't done any postseasons. The Ravens are coming on

1781
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,920
the Patriots are playing well, but nobody is striking intense fear.

1782
01:32:00,199 --> 01:32:04,000
I you know what, I applaud the cults for this,

1783
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,720
I just do now. Am I scared the death of

1784
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,199
Daniel Jones is gonna regress? Remember how Sam Darnald was

1785
01:32:10,239 --> 01:32:13,359
awesome last year from Minnesota first rounder? How great he

1786
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,239
was and then he failed the last couple of weeks

1787
01:32:15,279 --> 01:32:17,960
and it was the old Sam Darnald. That's if I'm

1788
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,840
a coult fan, I'm thinking it. When is the slipper

1789
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,680
gonna fall off of Daniel Jones? Two first rounders from

1790
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,359
Micah Parsons is steep, But I mean pass rusher is

1791
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:29,039
extremely valuable and you're getting the number one best pass

1792
01:32:29,119 --> 01:32:30,039
rusher on the planet.

1793
01:32:30,319 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 5: Yep.

1794
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. You win a Super Bowl and

1795
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,520
Sauce Garner is no, You're not going to care. Is

1796
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:40,439
locking down the best Kandasity receivers or the best Buffalo receivers,

1797
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,079
You're going to be very happy you made. That's basically

1798
01:32:43,159 --> 01:32:45,319
the only way that it's completely worth it because you

1799
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,279
have to pay because you're paying him, and you're paying

1800
01:32:47,319 --> 01:32:49,800
him big money, which the Packers did too. They signed

1801
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,119
Mike Parsons to a historic contract. Well, I'll say this.

1802
01:32:52,199 --> 01:32:54,279
What it does do is it does make things a

1803
01:32:54,359 --> 01:32:56,359
little awkward when it comes to what value is for

1804
01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:59,800
elite players. You're telling me that Sauce Gardner is worth

1805
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:02,880
two first rounds. Now, that's gonna be a tough ratio

1806
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,079
to with other players that are good players too, maybe

1807
01:33:05,119 --> 01:33:07,800
not as good as Sauce Garner. But giving up the

1808
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,159
two for a top five to guy in his position,

1809
01:33:12,359 --> 01:33:15,199
is that now the bar if your top five and

1810
01:33:15,319 --> 01:33:18,399
something that's gonna cost you two first rounds. Yeah, but cornerbacks,

1811
01:33:18,399 --> 01:33:20,560
it's just not that the value is not there relative

1812
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,920
to pass rusher. It's just not unless you lockdown cornerback

1813
01:33:24,039 --> 01:33:26,039
is great. Yeah, gonna. I'm not gonna say it's not.

1814
01:33:26,079 --> 01:33:27,800
There's no value. I'm not saying like they traded for

1815
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:31,239
a punter, like it's great value. Tommy Town's is available,

1816
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,079
but it's not. It's not. Micah Parsons, I get it

1817
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,239
in my opinion. All right, what else? Uh, Well, it's

1818
01:33:37,319 --> 01:33:40,239
time to go unless you want this weird offs off

1819
01:33:40,319 --> 01:33:43,319
color story that I found. This sport's kind of sports related.

1820
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,000
Did you see the Tom Did you see the Tom

1821
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,600
Brady story? I did not? Oh yeah, but the dogs.

1822
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:52,600
Tom Brady had a beloved family dog named Lua, who

1823
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:58,720
unfortunately passed in twenty twenty three. Well on Tuesday, Tom

1824
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,520
Brady revealed that his new juny is a clone of

1825
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:06,279
his dog that died in twenty twenty three, Lua mask

1826
01:34:06,319 --> 01:34:08,840
How much does this cost? He is an investor in

1827
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:14,279
a company called Colossal Biosciences that he paid with or

1828
01:34:14,399 --> 01:34:20,199
worked with to clone his dog Lua. According to an

1829
01:34:20,239 --> 01:34:25,239
interview with People magazine, I love my animals. They need

1830
01:34:25,279 --> 01:34:27,399
the world to me and my family. A few years ago,

1831
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,239
I worked with Colossal and leverage their non invasive cloning technology.

1832
01:34:30,319 --> 01:34:32,520
Throw a simple blood draw of our family's elderly dog

1833
01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:37,079
before he passed. She passed. Excuse me, so they can

1834
01:34:37,159 --> 01:34:40,399
do wait, they do equine pets too? Or that can

1835
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,840
be serious with horse racing? Can you get some secretary

1836
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:46,119
at DNA? How does that work? Do you know that

1837
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:52,359
if it was reasonable, I would clone my Sadie? I felt, admitute,

1838
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,359
but I don't think the cost is probably something I

1839
01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:58,960
could afford. Okay, see that's what I was gonna ask.

1840
01:34:59,119 --> 01:35:02,880
Is this fair or fouls? You say fair? Yeah, it

1841
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,520
doesn't seem like I'm the first of all. I have

1842
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,840
a Laborde. No, no, we're late. I have a labradoodle.

1843
01:35:08,279 --> 01:35:10,239
I will own if the next dog I get in

1844
01:35:10,319 --> 01:35:12,319
my life once Sadie and we're gonna a little time

1845
01:35:12,359 --> 01:35:14,079
to heal whenever. Miss Citi's still with us and she's

1846
01:35:14,119 --> 01:35:17,199
doing great. But labradoodle is my favorite breed of dog

1847
01:35:17,279 --> 01:35:21,479
because they don't shed, they don't bark, they're very, very friendly,

1848
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,000
and they're just the nicest dog. I've only had one

1849
01:35:24,039 --> 01:35:25,720
in my life, and Sadie's been awesome for me for

1850
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:29,319
fifteen years. I would absolutely clone her if I could,

1851
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,319
but I just only I can afford it. Okay, where

1852
01:35:33,319 --> 01:35:35,680
do you draw the line? Would you clone? Would you

1853
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:41,119
clone a child? Yes? Ah, this is crazy, this is

1854
01:35:41,199 --> 01:35:43,920
this is this is doesn't getting wild. This is extrarecteral.

1855
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,039
This is getting wild on a Wednesday, yeah, or Tuesday,

1856
01:35:47,079 --> 01:35:51,760
whatever today is? Would I clone you? No chance? You're right,

1857
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,119
I'm unclonable, baby. One of one who call twenty four

1858
01:35:55,199 --> 01:35:58,960
on Sports Talk seven ninety Real Quick. JJ Watt is

1859
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:03,199
going to do his second Texans game on CBS this week.

1860
01:36:03,199 --> 01:36:06,640
He did Houston Baltimore and uh, he is going to

1861
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,960
do Texans Jaguars. We're in the number two crew to

1862
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,640
come in for this one. Texans Jags must be a

1863
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:17,079
light week, well, a lot of buys. I just reached

1864
01:36:17,119 --> 01:36:18,600
out to Iron Eagle to try to get on Friday

1865
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:21,279
because I think I think Ian's gonna do the Rocket

1866
01:36:21,359 --> 01:36:23,800
Spurs on Amazon on Friday, so it's kind of a

1867
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:26,560
two two, so we're trying to get him on. I'm

1868
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,279
just calling to see if he's gonna do that game.

1869
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:31,439
I was I gonna tell you, oh uh so, uh

1870
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:33,960
You've got New England Tampa Bay is the main game again.

1871
01:36:34,039 --> 01:36:37,399
The two playoff teams, Jim Nance Tony rom are doing that.

1872
01:36:38,039 --> 01:36:40,760
The other games at noon would be Buffalo at Miami

1873
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,479
Clean on the Jets. That's the worst game on the slate.

1874
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:49,920
That's that's Spiro Adidas call him that one the Browns

1875
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:54,840
and the Jets. Spirodidas is very talented, good guy. He's

1876
01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:56,920
probably thinking to himself, can I get a good game?

1877
01:36:57,039 --> 01:36:58,960
Can I get one Jim Nance game? Can we can

1878
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,880
we do one flipsis per year? The total on that

1879
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:06,359
game is thirty six and a half on Browns Jets.

1880
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:13,239
That's ugly. Honestly, if I'm if I'm CBS, I probably

1881
01:37:13,239 --> 01:37:15,760
would have sent them to Buffalo Miami.

1882
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:16,119
Speaker 7: But might.

1883
01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 1: But maybe because Irons and San Antonio and Friday, if

1884
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:21,479
he is that, maybe they're saying, hey, you're You're right

1885
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,920
around the corner. You can just come back. My name's terrible. Well,

1886
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:26,880
the reality is this, It's New England. Tampa Bay is

1887
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:28,239
gonna be seen by most of the country. I mean,

1888
01:37:28,279 --> 01:37:31,359
that's just the big game. People in New England. I

1889
01:37:31,399 --> 01:37:33,079
was in Boston this weekend. People are losing their mind.

1890
01:37:33,079 --> 01:37:34,680
They get to finally get a jim Nance game. They've

1891
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:36,720
had a jim Nance New England game since Tom Brady

1892
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:38,359
was a quarterback. Is that true. I don't know if

1893
01:37:38,359 --> 01:37:41,000
it's true, but they they were. I mean I never

1894
01:37:41,039 --> 01:37:42,880
thought to myself, oh man, it's a big time we

1895
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:46,880
get this crew are the panthers of the most anonymous

1896
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:49,159
five and four team in football. Let me tell you

1897
01:37:49,159 --> 01:37:51,239
a sports Harvey. They went to Green Bay and won.

1898
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:52,880
Do you know how hard it is to win in

1899
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:59,840
Green Bay? Period? Yeah, And I did not start Rico o'daddell,

1900
01:38:00,119 --> 01:38:01,920
and that made a mistake and that will not be

1901
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:03,840
done again. You talked to doctor rote about that. I

1902
01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,399
don't even want to hear it. Well, we got I

1903
01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:06,920
got a bunch of guys on off weeks, so it's

1904
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:10,119
gonna be He'll be playing too. He's going to Remblin

1905
01:38:10,199 --> 01:38:13,640
Mumblince Dumbling. Let's go to uh. I'm going to the airport.

1906
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:14,359
Speaker 2: I know you are.

1907
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,119
Speaker 1: Jay north Side of twelve twenty six.

1908
01:38:16,239 --> 01:38:16,520
Speaker 4: Hi J.

1909
01:38:19,039 --> 01:38:22,279
Speaker 1: Hello Dad, Jay, j j.

1910
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 12: Oh J.

1911
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 2: Jay.

1912
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: You think our shows are best ever? Yeah? I agree.

1913
01:38:31,239 --> 01:38:35,159
You listen every day you support all our advertisers. Thank you, Jay,

1914
01:38:35,319 --> 01:38:39,039
appreciate the phone call. JA. Awesome, great stuff. Can somebody

1915
01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:41,319
be better than Jay? Can somebody be better than Jay

1916
01:38:41,399 --> 01:38:45,479
and possible worse than Brad? Think about that combination. Better

1917
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:49,119
than Jay, worse than Brad. Okay, they didn't speak.

1918
01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:50,800
Speaker 2: Right.

1919
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:55,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everything you said as a baseline, he's better

1920
01:38:55,399 --> 01:38:59,359
than Brad. Silence is better than Brad. Sometimes deaf air

1921
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:01,159
is better than a Definitely he was dead. There's better

1922
01:39:01,239 --> 01:39:04,199
than us. He was giving us misinformation saying Richi Gannon

1923
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:06,560
won a super Bowl. You guys forgot Rick Kane and

1924
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:09,079
he wanted and he sold me on because I always

1925
01:39:09,119 --> 01:39:10,880
thought that Kevin Harnan was a partner of Rich gans

1926
01:39:11,079 --> 01:39:12,880
used to always say super Bowl champion. You know what

1927
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:14,960
he does? He says that about Kurt Warner when he

1928
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,159
works game to Kurt Warner super Bowl and Trent Green?

1929
01:39:17,159 --> 01:39:18,680
Did he also win a Super Bowl? Kanmas City?

1930
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:19,600
Speaker 5: No?

1931
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:24,079
Speaker 1: No, no, they went, No they ever go? Was he

1932
01:39:24,199 --> 01:39:26,920
the Was Trent Green the backup on the ninety nine team?

1933
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:31,760
Or is Mark Bolger? Mark Bulger? You just dropped that

1934
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:36,640
name out of nowhere? Mark Bulger? You remember him? I

1935
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:41,920
do for different reasons. Why because I mean kind of

1936
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:47,119
a presumptive name. Oh, because he's the Bulger. Oh you

1937
01:39:47,159 --> 01:39:49,800
think that was his his name Labert. That's the nickname

1938
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,560
he got when he was in high school. All right,

1939
01:39:55,319 --> 01:39:58,840
that's about See. This is what happened in the Texan suck.

1940
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,880
You'll check out, you're you're all mad on Monday and

1941
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,680
you check out the rest of the week. I find

1942
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:06,680
that when the Texans win, you don't even bother calling

1943
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,279
on Monday either. So it's Dan if you do, Dan

1944
01:40:09,319 --> 01:40:11,880
if you don't. We're doing good, Matt, We're all good.

1945
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,319
We got rockets, we've got rockets playing well. We got

1946
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,239
Kyle Techer about to get a mega deal. It's gonna

1947
01:40:16,239 --> 01:40:20,319
get you some free food. Uh, who oh, that's you forget.

1948
01:40:20,399 --> 01:40:23,199
By the way, you wanted to add on we upgraded

1949
01:40:23,279 --> 01:40:25,800
I think it was fast casual. You upgraded to abachi,

1950
01:40:26,279 --> 01:40:30,079
and then you upgraded again to the the Cherry on top,

1951
01:40:30,119 --> 01:40:32,800
which was fast food for us three. Yes, yeah you did.

1952
01:40:33,279 --> 01:40:36,560
He upgraded it twice. That's why I'm trying to leverage here.

1953
01:40:37,359 --> 01:40:39,479
I mean, we can shave off the fast food meal.

1954
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:43,119
I'll just be nice that you're gonna be owner dessert

1955

1959
01:40:55,279 --> 01:41:00,359

01:41:00,399 --> 01:41:01,760

01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:16,600

1966
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,880

He's a good guy. There is there are some national

1968
01:41:21,279 --> 01:41:24,760
people that are PUDs. Yeah he's not one of hey, pud. Yeah, okay,

1969
01:41:26,319 --> 01:41:28,399
I'm gonna just figure it out. Go look at Urban

1970
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:32,359
Dictionary twelve twenty nine. On urban is urban seven one

1971
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,479
three two one two five seven ninety two ulcer disease.

1972
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:38,359
That's what a PUD would be. Yeah, seven one three

1973
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:43,079
two one two five seven ninety there are Yeah, I

1974
01:41:43,119 --> 01:41:45,600
don't want to go to that list seven one three

1975
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:47,560
two one two five seven eighty with the word for

1976
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:51,760
uptown appliance repair. I believe that if you're gonna be

1977
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,840
bringing your leftovers home and you're a bochie, after you eat,

1978
01:41:56,039 --> 01:41:57,880
you're gonna want to cold refrigerator to make sure everything's

1979
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,319
taken care of. Right, what's the matter with you? I

1980
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:09,560
went to Urban Dictionary and looked up pud. Hmm, all right,

1981
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:11,600
I have to say this when we come back back

1982
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:15,119
to uptown. Two eight one is the anatomical phrase to

1983
01:42:15,199 --> 01:42:19,000
keep it kosher? Would you read it to me off air?

1984
01:42:19,079 --> 01:42:38,840
What it really is? Pound twelve thirty four PM here

1985
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,399
on Sports Talk seven HY the Matt Thomas Show, with

1986
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:46,560
Ross continuing along till two o'clock. You were going to

1987
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,439
say something and I stopped you mid sentence. What was

1988
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:49,800
it about coming back from this break?

1989
01:42:50,119 --> 01:42:50,279
Speaker 9: Oh?

1990
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 3: Oh?

1991
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:57,520
Speaker 1: About what? By looking up pud? Yeah, I will just

1992
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:02,479
read the the clean version. It's I mean it's it's

1993
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:10,439
I mean it's a human male's penis. Sorry, okay, that's

1994
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:14,439
what the Urban Dictionary says for the definition of pud.

1995
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:16,319
So I was gonna say some of the national guys

1996
01:43:16,359 --> 01:43:24,079
are PUDs. Yeah. Also a definition a lazily is lazy, useless,

1997
01:43:24,159 --> 01:43:28,159
or very weak person. Yep, keeps going. Usually their syracuse

1998
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:30,760
used in a sentence. He just sits around all day

1999
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:34,880
like a little pud. All right, we've got the drift

2000
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:39,279
of this. We were trying to be educational on the show, Matt.

2001
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:41,760
We like entertain and in ful. I'm sorry, but people

2002
01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:43,560
want to know about four to three defenses, not not

2003
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:46,640
about what a definition of a putt is. Okay, yeah,

2004
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:49,319
we can break that down. Let's go uh okay, So

2005
01:43:49,399 --> 01:43:51,000
the trade deadline? When it is it? Do we have

2006
01:43:51,039 --> 01:43:53,760
an official ending on this on this trade deadline? Sometime tonight?

2007
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 2: Right?

2008
01:43:54,039 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: I think it's four o'clock? Yeah, okay, so ten, It

2009
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:58,640
could be halfway dark here could be a big trade

2010
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:02,920
landing in the lap of the eighteen What does your

2011
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:04,399
guys say to textan make a move in the next

2012
01:44:05,039 --> 01:44:09,319
three and a half hours? No, what precedent do we

2013
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:13,680
have under Nick Cassario for deadline deals. My guess is,

2014
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:15,760
if we looked at the transaction list, there's been something

2015
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:17,239
that's been done, but it would be nothing that would

2016
01:44:18,079 --> 01:44:19,760
shake things up for a lot. This is the question

2017
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:23,720
for for Adam Wexler. Oh, he'd have a doubt. I

2018
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,439
mean he's got the snapcounts going, so he's got it. Yeah,

2019
01:44:27,039 --> 01:44:31,680
snapcounts are important, mat Eh, I've never really worried about snapcounts.

2020
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,159
Sure you're worried about should I start Amari de Marcato

2021
01:44:34,239 --> 01:44:36,119
or a Bam Night. No, but he doesn't getting tough.

2022
01:44:36,279 --> 01:44:38,399
He gives me snap counts of like secondary people. It

2023
01:44:38,399 --> 01:44:41,560
doesn't affect my fantasy never. Okay, it's true. It's it's important.

2024
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:43,920
It's important, it's information. Well, then you know what you

2025
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,279
don't Why don't you do a snap count next week? Okay,

2026
01:44:46,319 --> 01:44:49,239
don't let don't let we look anything by himself. Why

2027
01:44:49,279 --> 01:44:51,880
don't you He's got it. I'll just retweet them. Okay,

2028
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,760
I catch you. I can't retweet. By the way, for

2029
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,119
those of you that think I try, I can't tweet

2030
01:44:56,119 --> 01:44:58,279
at all. I'm not gonna open up a burner account.

2031
01:44:58,319 --> 01:45:00,640
I've already got my two. I'm very very happy. I'm

2032
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:02,760
not gonna add and I'm gonna wait for Twitter to

2033
01:45:03,119 --> 01:45:05,680
reinstate my account. I've given them the evidence on two

2034
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:10,439
straight days. Okay, And like I said, I can use

2035
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:11,960
my wavebusters to kind of see what's going on.

2036
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:12,359
Speaker 9: In the world.

2037
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:14,680
Speaker 1: They haven't replied to you. Yeah, in the meantime, follow

2038

2039
01:45:16,359 --> 01:45:16,479
Speaker 9: Now.

2040
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,279
Speaker 1: Look, because here's the thing that's the key to all this.

2041
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,439
Because my Twitter account is down doesn't mean my Instagram

2042
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:27,159
is not free flowing and vibrant at sports empty on Instagram,

2043
01:45:27,359 --> 01:45:30,640
it's Instagram ig. I'm not on Snap, i am not

2044
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:33,760
on TikTok, but you can follow me on Instagram and

2045
01:45:34,279 --> 01:45:37,479
empt or you can follow me there. I am twenty

2046
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:41,720
two away from thirteen hundred, twenty two away. We were

2047
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:43,680
struggling to get to one thousand for a while. I no,

2048
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:46,840
you're glad, You're welcome. We're growing. I mean the content creation.

2049
01:45:47,119 --> 01:45:51,840
You know, it's going up, getting slapped up, getting some

2050
01:45:52,159 --> 01:45:56,199
likes and comments, and we're doing great. Okay, all right,

2051
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,560
so we have I put a poll up, by the

2052
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:00,319
way on my Twitter account, so you have seen it.

2053
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,840
I can't see it Tom Brady cloning his dead dog. Now,

2054
01:46:05,319 --> 01:46:08,119
my presumption is that people think it's disgusting. I put

2055
01:46:08,239 --> 01:46:13,000
fair or foul, that's it, and uh sixty one percent foul,

2056
01:46:13,319 --> 01:46:16,000
thirty nine percent fear. If you'd like to weigh in

2057
01:46:16,079 --> 01:46:18,199
on that, you can find my Twitter at sports Harvey. Now,

2058
01:46:18,279 --> 01:46:21,399
you just it strikes me as weird. It could be,

2059
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,640
but because apparently it costs. Somebody tweeted me it cost

2060
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:27,119
fifty k. I were also very rude. I wouldn't do

2061
01:46:27,159 --> 01:46:30,319
it for fifty thousand, Trey says. Looked up cloning dogs

2062
01:46:30,319 --> 01:46:33,159
approximately fifty k to clone ross thirty nine to ninety

2063
01:46:33,199 --> 01:46:36,359
nine on sale. That's rude, that's not nice. It's all steal.

2064
01:46:37,239 --> 01:46:46,359
Let's see, tall, handsome, smart, humble, giving has no filter, caring, rude, condescending.

2065
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,199
If you want all that, you can have it. You

2066
01:46:49,239 --> 01:46:52,760
can clone all that forty bucks. That's a deal point

2067
01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:56,359
being asstant and we'll get back to sports. Here are

2068
01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,359
we We've had our We've had two dogs in our life. Sorry,

2069
01:47:00,399 --> 01:47:02,159
go ahead, since the kids that we moved to Texas,

2070
01:47:03,039 --> 01:47:04,680
and you know, say, he's been with us since we

2071
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:08,199
moved in that house. So it's fifty thousand. I can't.

2072
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:11,159
I literally can't afford that. But if I really needed

2073
01:47:11,159 --> 01:47:13,439
to get five thousand, I probably could do it. I

2074
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:16,439
don't know, I don't, I don't know. Apparently it's fifty k. Yeah,

2075
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:18,359
that's just that's way out of my price. And then

2076
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:21,039
Sam says, if Matt ever has the opportunity to clone

2077
01:47:21,079 --> 01:47:23,399
an adult Lauren Shahati, this will be his response, and

2078
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:25,199
it's a gift saying shut up and take my money.

2079
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:31,319
I'm going to try to get Shahati to a Knicks

2080
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:34,760
or a Nets game. What do you mean invited her

2081
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:42,840
to come? Introduce myself? It's all that's it? Nice simple?

2082
01:47:43,119 --> 01:47:46,119
Would you like to come to a Rockets game? How's

2083
01:47:46,119 --> 01:47:48,319
your wife feel about this? I don't think she knows.

2084
01:47:49,399 --> 01:47:50,800
And as long as you guys don't say anything, I

2085
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:59,319
would say, between y'all, all right, I'll just say that's

2086
01:47:59,359 --> 01:48:01,399
making sure you're covering your bases. Well, I mean, I'm

2087
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:04,840
on a public airways. I would hope none of you

2088
01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:07,800
would call her or text her reach out, say Matt

2089
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,479
likes Laurence. Some people are already snitching on me about

2090
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:13,079
Fantasy Fire or what whatever. It was rotten five. They

2091
01:48:13,199 --> 01:48:15,560
did snitch on you that because because you portrayed a line.

2092
01:48:17,159 --> 01:48:20,319
Let's talk to you speaking your truth. That's true, Larry.

2093
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:23,479
In spring at twelve forty the Matt Thomas showed Ross Larry,

2094
01:48:23,520 --> 01:48:26,399
good afternoon, Let's talk some sports, please please please?

2095
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:33,119
Speaker 2: Hey emt Rose say, man, you know I turned seventy

2096
01:48:33,239 --> 01:48:37,119
years old last week, right, and I've been listening to

01:48:49,079 --> 01:48:50,439
heard from you in a while. Second of all, Larry,

01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:53,720
young on that you really are.

2104
01:48:55,119 --> 01:48:57,880
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, don't judge the book bands cover.

2105
01:48:58,159 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: There you go. That's all I'm talking about. So I said,

2106
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:01,119
all the people.

2107
01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 2: Around town say, man, you are great. You cared me

2108
01:49:05,159 --> 01:49:06,880
for ten years and not just going to the Karen

2109
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:08,359
apartment of the team. And I love you.

2110
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:15,079
Speaker 1: Thank you, Larry A, thank you very much. All right,

2111
01:49:15,239 --> 01:49:17,520
all right, thank you? All right? How about that heavy birthday?

2112
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,680
Larry turning seventy sounds fruciating. He's been calling us for

2113
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:23,119
a while. By the way, I ain't etle just send

2114
01:49:23,159 --> 01:49:27,479
eleven o'clock Friday morning, our time, our time. Oh, he's

2115
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:29,520
gonna be in San Antonio two. So I wonder if

2116
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:30,920
me he'd got to my hotel. But I don't think

2117
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:32,960
he's gonna he ask you for tomalw and chul out

2118
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:38,079
of recommendations Iron's and East Coast guy. I'll have to

2119
01:49:38,159 --> 01:49:40,239
ask him if he wants that. I don't know if

2120
01:49:40,279 --> 01:49:44,119
he'd be in for it. Hmmm. I feel like mild

2121
01:49:44,199 --> 01:49:46,079
might be too spicy for him. I don't know. I'm

2122
01:49:46,079 --> 01:49:49,039
just getting that gut feeling. It's like a Northeast guy.

2123
01:49:49,239 --> 01:49:50,920
He's it's got such a good sense of humor. Do

2124
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:54,560
you think there's no how tall is jj Watt six

2125
01:49:55,199 --> 01:50:00,520
five or six six? Iron's gotta be maybe five eight?

2126
01:50:03,199 --> 01:50:06,479
Jj Watt listed at six foot five inches. How tall

2127
01:50:06,600 --> 01:50:10,119
is Iron listed is? I don't think he's normally in

2128
01:50:10,199 --> 01:50:12,079
the I don't want to go his combine numbers. I

2129
01:50:12,159 --> 01:50:14,439
mean there's I guess you you could look up how tall?

2130
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:17,840
What comes out? Yeah, this says six feet tall. That's

2131
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,920
there's no chance that's a I mean that is wrong.

2132
01:50:22,239 --> 01:50:24,279
This picture next to each other. So let's say Iron

2133
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,079
five is listed at six just like hachemolage ones. Listen

2134
01:50:27,119 --> 01:50:30,159
to seven. You always go back to that's because you

2135
01:50:30,279 --> 01:50:34,439
are perpetrating lies. So I was given I was told

2136
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:37,640
to say seven feet tall. How about this picture of

2137
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:39,439
JJ WT and I and next to Ith gotta be

2138
01:50:40,039 --> 01:50:42,439
about a nine inch difference between his height and and

2139
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:45,880
JJ's height. Use me, you heard me, nine inch tight difference,

2140
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:51,880
not be the angle. The angle is important.

2141
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 10: Man.

2142
01:50:52,119 --> 01:50:56,279
Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins is seven feet Craig, how tall would you say?

2143
01:50:56,319 --> 01:51:00,800
Craig is? Craig's not taller than me. He's around six,

2144
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:02,800
isn't he? But I don't know. I don't pay attention

2145
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:06,479
to these things. But I don't notice people's height unless

2146
01:51:06,479 --> 01:51:09,439
they're extremely tall or extremely short. But weird, But it

2147
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:11,760
is funny that they make it kind of a running

2148
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,119
gag out of the fact that Iron is so much

2149
01:51:14,159 --> 01:51:20,159
shorter than JJ is. Yes, he's doing another Texans Gamey

2150
01:51:20,319 --> 01:51:22,199
Texans are one? And oh who's on Prime with him?

2151
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,199
I don't know. Usually I get the releases of who

2152
01:51:25,199 --> 01:51:27,239
the announcers are, but I don't know. They rotate their

2153
01:51:27,279 --> 01:51:29,079
guys all right. It could be Stan van Gundy. It

2154
01:51:29,159 --> 01:51:31,159
could be well they got Stan. I forgot about that.

2155
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,840
Who else could it be on? There could be Blake Griffin.

2156
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:35,399
There's a bunch of different guys that do it. Blake

2157
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:38,479
Griffin's good. Yeah, I've not watched one Amazon or one

2158
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:42,880
Peacock broadcast yet. Lead color commentator is stan Van Gundy. Oh,

2159
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:48,000
they got Brent Barry, Jim Jackson, Dell Curry, Dwayne Wade,

2160
01:51:48,199 --> 01:51:53,279
Steve nash Kandae Parker. It's funny because Dwayne Wade was

2161
01:51:53,319 --> 01:51:55,880
We're doing all the Olympic stuff on NBC, and NBC

2162
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:59,560
said we don't need you with the NBA. Was it

2163
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:02,800
a little I mean great, great red player. I mean

2164
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:04,479
we're not trying to done grade. He kind of said

2165
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:06,720
the same cliche like five times and one I can't

2166
01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:08,800
remember what it was. You know what's crazy is that

2167
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:11,079
these athletes are the best at what they do in

2168
01:52:11,159 --> 01:52:15,279
their sport, but you get to network television level, these

2169
01:52:15,359 --> 01:52:20,119
networking executives have zero problem cutting you. It's hard, there's

2170
01:52:20,159 --> 01:52:22,319
a standard to be held to and that it almost

2171
01:52:22,399 --> 01:52:24,199
feels like when you watch a broad this is the

2172
01:52:24,239 --> 01:52:27,319
same thing can be said for NFL broadcast. Maybe the

2173
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:32,439
mid level guy like Tony Romo, good quarterback, but not

2174
01:52:33,119 --> 01:52:35,279
Hall of Fame ever. Very good, but he's not going

2175
01:52:35,279 --> 01:52:38,319
to the Hall of Fame. No, JJ Watt maybe now

2176
01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:40,279
JJ Watt is on a pedestal to get to the

2177
01:52:40,279 --> 01:52:41,520
Hall of He's going to go to the Hall of Fame.

2178
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,640
He may be a great analyst. The number three guys,

2179
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:48,399
Trent Green, good player, but nothing spectacular. Look at NFL

2180
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,800
on Fox. I got Tom Brady. Okay, that's that's bucks.

2181
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:53,399
The trend has star power. Greg Olsen is probably the

2182
01:52:53,439 --> 01:52:54,960
best in the business today and he's gonna go to

2183
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:58,680
the Hall of Fame as a tight end. Oh yeah,

2184
01:52:58,800 --> 01:53:00,920
greg Olsen is going to the Hall of Fame. Order line.

2185
01:53:01,319 --> 01:53:04,439
He's really it's gonna take a while. He's going. Now,

2186
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:07,279
I'm gonna Mike shoot me down. God feeling is no,

2187
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:09,479
but we can look it up. Three time Pro bowler,

2188
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:15,119
any receptions fourteen years, not even ten thousand reception yards.

2189
01:53:16,239 --> 01:53:17,800
It may take him while. He's gonna get in. He's

2190
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:21,359
not getting in, okay. Jonathan Wilma is one of their analysts. Yes,

2191
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:23,640
Sarrel Johnson was a nice full back, but by no

2192
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:25,920
means was three time Super Bowl champion. But I mean

2193
01:53:26,039 --> 01:53:27,439
that was I mean, it was part of it, but

2194
01:53:27,479 --> 01:53:29,760
it wasn't the all time great nickname Moose Johnson. But

2195
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:34,039
I mean you're talking about the super super elite players

2196
01:53:34,079 --> 01:53:36,159
don't always try to be like Michael Jordan never did

2197
01:53:36,199 --> 01:53:38,960
a game magical johnsare he didn't need to. Magic Johnson

2198
01:53:39,039 --> 01:53:40,600
was not a great commentator, you know what I mean.

2199
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,760
I mean, just yeah, it's hard. It's a hard thing.

2200
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:45,159
And everybody thinks our jobs are easy. Mat they're hard.

2201
01:53:45,359 --> 01:53:49,319
Oh my god. Yes, that's why us. We were never

2202
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:52,520
exceptional anything that's true. That's what we're going to talk

2203
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,159
about it on a daily basis. That's what makes me

2204
01:53:54,199 --> 01:53:55,880
mad when somebody is good on air and they were

2205
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,960
like an all time great JJ Watt, Yeah, Jackass, he's

2206
01:54:00,039 --> 01:54:01,600
can be really good. No, he's so, he's pretty good.

2207
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:05,159
And Treigman is outstanding on him. NFL pick a lane, yeah,

2208
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:08,760
bedmitted something yeah. Seven one three, two one two five

2209
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:11,520
seven nine. We've got another hour plus to go. Ross

2210
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:13,079
is gonna go solo for an hour because I got

2211
01:54:13,159 --> 01:54:15,119
to head off with the boys to Memphis. I know, Oh,

2212
01:54:15,199 --> 01:54:17,239
I forgot, But you're gonna take off or to go

2213
01:54:17,279 --> 01:54:19,239
to the airport Friday, and by the way, we we

2214
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:22,239
I'm you're leaving at one o'clock, regardless of the airline situation, Marge,

2215
01:54:22,680 --> 01:54:24,119

2216
01:54:24,199 --> 01:54:26,319

2219
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 2: Rodo?

2220
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:33,359
Speaker 1: Be kind of fun for a live report from the airport. Okay,

2221
01:54:33,439 --> 01:54:35,720
little man on the street, if you will, how long

01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:39,119
you been waiting? Boy, you can't. You can't the TSA

2223
01:54:39,279 --> 01:54:41,000

2224
01:54:41,039 --> 01:54:43,000
That's fine, where you do? Come on? All right, let's

2225
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:44,800
talk about I have a prince. I don't want to

2226
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:47,800
pay for some You are in apt at your jobs,

2227
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:49,039
and I have to stay in a long line and

2228
01:54:49,119 --> 01:54:51,000
I have to pay to get a better line for

2229
01:54:51,119 --> 01:54:54,640
something that should be free. No, no, I'm drawing a

2230
01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:56,840
line in sand, Matt. It's ridiculous. I don't even know

2231
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:58,560
how much TSA prej is. I dont want to pay

2232
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,199
for it. I have an airport experience from last Friday

2233
01:55:03,159 --> 01:55:04,640
that I'll be using on Shut your bum mass up,

2234
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:06,039
and I hope it doesn't get in trouble. It's like

2235
01:55:06,119 --> 01:55:08,119
toll roads. You all should be building roads that we

2236
01:55:08,199 --> 01:55:10,319
can use. Are they using R and this wants your

2237
01:55:10,359 --> 01:55:12,920
charge in the search charge. Yeah, shut your bomb, masses up.

2238
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:15,760
It's called convenience, ridiculous say the trip. All right, Tonight,

2239
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:21,680
we're gonna get our first college football playoff rankings. Uh,

2240
01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:24,680
I got news for you. And I know you've not

2241
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:27,720
been uber pleased with your beloved Longhorns this year because

2242
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:31,600
they've struggled. But uh, they've been winning lately, Matt. They're

2243
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:34,800
seven and two. Yes, they're right now. In the Associated

2244
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:38,520
Press poll they're number thirteen. Now, you do have to

2245
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,720
include a group of five in the group in the

2246
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:45,640
group of in that twelve group. So if you're holding

2247
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:49,600
to this, you're gonna be your two. You and Theory

2248
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:52,239
be on two spots out on the outside looking in.

2249
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:54,199
But that can all change. You run the table you're

2250
01:55:54,199 --> 01:55:56,840
gonna read in the SEC Championship game and you'll have

2251
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:59,279
a chance to get that automatic spot. I'm not worried

2252
01:55:59,319 --> 01:56:01,399
about it. Yeah, there's some Longhorn fan talking to me.

2253
01:56:01,479 --> 01:56:03,239
It's like, Okay, the games are still to be played out.

2254
01:56:03,279 --> 01:56:04,680
I don't care if they're in or out this week.

2255
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:07,960
I really don't to be fair BYU plays Texas Tech

2256
01:56:08,039 --> 01:56:10,520
this week. One of those two teams is going to lose,

2257
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:12,560
which means you're gonna knock one of those teams. I

2258
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:14,920
would think out of the top there. Right now they're

2259
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:20,000
at eight to nine mm. So I have been startled

2260
01:56:20,039 --> 01:56:22,159
by a lot of things in sports. I don't know

2261
01:56:22,199 --> 01:56:24,319
if there's anything more startling to me than seeing Indiana

2262
01:56:24,439 --> 01:56:27,239
number two in the Associated Press Top twenty five. It's crazy.

2263
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,479
I mean, you're telling me that crotchety old Kirk Signetti

2264
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:33,640
goes to there in Indiana after winning games.

2265
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:34,039
Speaker 15: What was it?

2266
01:56:34,319 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Was he an old dominion or something like that, some

2267
01:56:36,039 --> 01:56:39,720
small school I remember it was William and Mary or somebody. Really,

2268
01:56:40,119 --> 01:56:42,520
it wasn't something big. Yeah, but he is a he's

2269
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:45,399
a Saban disciple though. Yeah, he does have the Saban

2270
01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:49,159
roots for sure. Yeah. James Madison, James Madison. He goes

2271
01:56:49,199 --> 01:56:52,319
from James Madison to a mid level Indiana and turns

2272
01:56:52,359 --> 01:56:55,680
Indiana into a national title contender. And I'll say the

2273
01:56:55,720 --> 01:56:58,279
same thing about A and M. Mike Elko has got

2274
01:56:58,319 --> 01:57:03,720
the Aggie's at number three in this country. Was there

2275
01:57:03,760 --> 01:57:06,960
a world ross in your mind when this show began

2276
01:57:07,079 --> 01:57:09,640
back in twenty ten that you ever thought you'd have

2277
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:12,880
Indiana and A and M in the top five of

2278
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,800
anything A and M less surprising. I mean, yeah, they've

2279
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:18,760
been shelling out millions and millions and millions and millions

2280
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:23,880
and millions of dollars every year. Did Indiana do this?

2281
01:57:24,279 --> 01:57:25,239
Did I miss something?

2282
01:57:25,279 --> 01:57:25,399
Speaker 17: Whin?

2283
01:57:25,479 --> 01:57:27,479
Speaker 1: Did Indiana all of a sudden this pulpourri of cash

2284
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:31,439
and he signed this huge deal now too. We'll see

2285
01:57:31,439 --> 01:57:35,279
how long that lasts. It'll be interesting. Good for them.

2286
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,640
They're rest of our schedule. By the way, they're going

2287
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:39,920
undefeated in the regular season. And it's the crazy Here's

2288
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:43,159
the craziest part of it is that Indiana was asked

2289
01:57:43,159 --> 01:57:46,159
before the start of the season, went there, Big Timmy days,

2290
01:57:46,199 --> 01:57:49,479
Hey Indiana, you haven't played anybody, And He's like, yeah,

2291
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:53,239
we're not gonna play anybody. We're gonna get out to

2292
01:57:53,319 --> 01:57:56,039
a very fast start and we're gonna see where we go.

2293
01:57:56,079 --> 01:57:58,359
And if we don't win, we don't win. But I'm

2294
01:57:58,479 --> 01:58:01,720
not going to suffer a law and perhaps ruined my

2295
01:58:01,880 --> 01:58:04,279
chances of taking my team to a top twelve spot.

2296
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:09,279
Indiana's non conference schedule was Old Dominion, Kennesaw State in

2297
01:58:09,399 --> 01:58:12,399
Indiana State. They beat those two teams.

2298
01:58:13,359 --> 01:58:17,439
Speaker 14: One twenty nine and fifty seven take your time, one

2299
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:22,119
sixty six car the one one sixty six to twenty three.

2300
01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:25,680
The old Dominion game was closed, and we're like, oh,

2301
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:30,079
Indiana sucks. Yeah, it was twenty seven Illinois. That's Illinois

2302
01:58:30,079 --> 01:58:32,119
been since they since they were in the top ten.

2303
01:58:32,319 --> 01:58:35,720
There's six and three losing to Ohio State and they

2304
01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:38,000
lost from sixty three to ten. And again, I don't

2305
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:40,039
know if nobody's gonna feel bad for cbscos, the guys

2306
01:58:40,039 --> 01:58:42,760
making big money, but brad nessers sitting there calling Indiana games.

2307
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:45,560
I mean, just one ass kicking after the other.

2308
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: At Penn State, home Form Wisconsin, at Purdue, they're going

2309
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:54,640
to win, win, So even if they lose Ohio State

2310
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:56,840
in the Big Ten title game, it's not gonna ran

2311
01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:01,319
yeah into freaking it again, I don't even know. I'll

2312
01:59:01,319 --> 01:59:03,039
have to ask Vanessa because we're gonna be on the planet.

2313
01:59:03,399 --> 01:59:07,800
She's gonna have to know what happened. Because when you

2314
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:11,159
think of the the power brokers financially in sports the

2315
01:59:11,279 --> 01:59:14,479
last five years, Texas text top of the list, right,

2316
01:59:16,319 --> 01:59:19,439
SMU super high on the list. Who else has been

2317
01:59:19,479 --> 01:59:21,199
known for throwing Who's throwing a bunch of cash at

2318
01:59:21,239 --> 01:59:26,279
people in Oregon. Well Oregon always has Yeah, but they weren't.

2319
01:59:26,319 --> 01:59:28,960
They're not a traditional power. No, no, no, uh who

2320
01:59:29,039 --> 01:59:30,560
else is throwing a lot of money? That's all of

2321
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:32,600
a sudden on the on the well, you need to

2322
01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:34,880
look at the standings. Is anybody that's in that group

2323
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:39,319
that normally isn't in that group? I just liked that

2324
01:59:39,359 --> 01:59:45,319
their quarterback is named Fernando Fernando Mendosa. I mean they

2325
01:59:45,359 --> 01:59:50,239
are They are ranked higher than Alabama, Georgia, Oregon. Oh,

2326
01:59:50,319 --> 01:59:52,159
by the way, b Yu also has some money to

2327
01:59:52,239 --> 01:59:54,840
throw a people. But by us had a top recruit

2328
01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:57,079
in basketball. Yeah. Basketball team is gonna be good, right, yeah, Oh,

2329
01:59:57,079 --> 01:59:59,520
they're gonna be very good. Oh is Vanderbilt throw money?

2330
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:02,720
And people say it in two Vanderbilt usually remember wh

2331
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:05,319
Vanderburt was the gimme remember Vanderbert was the Well, if

2332
02:00:05,359 --> 02:00:07,960
they really do create a mega conference, they're gonna have

2333
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:10,720
to kick Vanderbilt out because Vanderbilt doesn't spend money in athletics.

2334
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,920
They're doing it. I don't know what they're doing. Well,

2335
02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:18,920
they lost to Texas. I know that they covered they did.

2336
02:00:19,039 --> 02:00:21,800
Thanks for the referees. Oh a little referee driven there

2337
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:25,840
huh okay, all right, Hey Hi. By the way, how

2338
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:32,880
is Oklahoma ranked higher than Texas in the AP pole? Well,

2339
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:35,000
it's it's subjective. I can't tell you the reason why

2340
02:00:35,119 --> 02:00:38,560
beat them head to head. Who has more impressive victories overall?

2341
02:00:40,159 --> 02:00:53,560
Probably Texas. Is The Matt Thomas Show with Ross one

Jonathan Allen is here as well. Jonathan's gonna bring us

2349
02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:20,800
an NFL rewind as I just sprung that on him

2350
02:01:20,880 --> 02:01:23,159
like ten minutes ago. It's fine. There's a ton of news.

2351
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:27,119
There's been like five different trades. We can just run

2352
02:01:27,199 --> 02:01:28,880
through those and go through that. So we'll get the

2353
02:01:29,000 --> 02:01:31,680
NFL rewind coming up in about fifteen minutes. In the

2354
02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:34,520
meantime or actually the entire time. You can get in

2355
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:36,439
as well on the phone lines if you would like,

2356
02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:40,199
at seven one three two one two five seven ninety

2357
02:01:40,239 --> 02:01:44,079
seven one three two one two five seven ninety The

2358
02:01:44,279 --> 02:01:47,039
big trade that we will talk about in that segment

2359
02:01:47,119 --> 02:01:53,239
the Colts adding Sauce Gardner in a blockbuster trade, two

2360
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:57,760
first round picks and a d Mitchell, the second round

2361
02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:00,600
wide receiver out of Texas they took last year in

2362
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:04,840
the draft, all for a lockdown corner. I mean, this

2363
02:02:05,079 --> 02:02:07,680
is this is Michael Parsons prices, So a bit of

2364
02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:09,880
an overpay if you ask me, because you're also going

2365
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:11,560
to have to pay Sauce Gardner the four year, one

2366
02:02:11,640 --> 02:02:14,319
hundred and twenty million dollar extension that he signed this

2367
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:17,359
offseason with the New York Jets that hasn't kicked in yet.

2368
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:20,840
Jets win on this deal, Colts could win two. I mean,

2369
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:23,640
if Sauce Gardner is there and he's locking everybody down

2370
02:02:23,680 --> 02:02:25,880
and that defense is really good, we know great that

2371
02:02:26,039 --> 02:02:28,279
offense has been with Jonathan Taylor as far as an

2372
02:02:28,359 --> 02:02:32,760
MVP candidate, Daniel Jones resurrecting his career, and a really

2373
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:35,560
good Colts team that is going. I mean, they're gonna

2374
02:02:35,640 --> 02:02:38,359
run away with the AFC South. Right now, it's seven

2375
02:02:38,439 --> 02:02:42,960
and two Jaguars and Texans playing each other. Jacksonville in

2376
02:02:43,039 --> 02:02:45,800
second place at five and three. If the Texans are

2377
02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:47,920
able to win that game this week, as they are

2378
02:02:48,079 --> 02:02:51,720
favored in that game. So if the Vegas line holds,

2379
02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:53,039
I think it's just what is it one and a half,

2380
02:02:53,079 --> 02:02:56,560
I haven't checked recently, then you're probably gonna have a

2381
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:58,920
situation where you have the five and four Jaguars, four

2382
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:01,479
and five Texans. Yet AFC sou champis it's already going

2383
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:04,279
to be the Indianapolis Colts. We're basically already there. So

2384
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:07,840
I understand why the Colts did what they did, a

2385
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:11,399
bit of a premium overpay, and it begs the question,

2386
02:03:11,560 --> 02:03:13,199
at what point do you say that this is a

2387
02:03:13,319 --> 02:03:16,039
successful trade. I mean, do they have to win the

2388
02:03:16,039 --> 02:03:18,840
Super Bowl this year? Probably not, within the next couple

2389
02:03:18,880 --> 02:03:21,279
of years, get out of the AFC. It's gonna be tough.

2390
02:03:22,159 --> 02:03:24,239
But if you have a team that's good and close,

2391
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:26,960
which the Colts are, and you're not necessarily the caliber

2392
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:29,560
of where I think the Chiefs will be, where I

2393
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:32,439
think the Buffalo Bills will be, even though the Chiefs

2394
02:03:32,479 --> 02:03:35,159
are just five and four, then you got to make

2395
02:03:35,199 --> 02:03:38,159
some moves. So Chris Ballard, who have been much more

2396
02:03:38,199 --> 02:03:40,239
aligned there in Indianapolis. A lot of people wanted him

2397
02:03:40,279 --> 02:03:42,840
gone the last couple of years, Jim Mersey before his passing,

2398
02:03:42,960 --> 02:03:46,479
sticking to his guns and sticking with Chris Ballard through

2399
02:03:46,479 --> 02:03:49,239
the whole Anthony Richardson debacle and the old I mean,

2400
02:03:49,279 --> 02:03:51,399
it's been a bunch of debacles a quarterback over there,

2401
02:03:52,119 --> 02:03:56,039
Carson Wins and Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers and all

2402
02:03:56,079 --> 02:04:00,159
the backup dudes. It's been crazy over there with with

2403
02:04:00,279 --> 02:04:03,880
what the Indianapolis Colts got going on. So big trade

2404
02:04:04,119 --> 02:04:08,520
not a direct impact to the Houston Texans, but impact

2405
02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:10,760
to the AFC South, which was already pretty much out

2406
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:12,600
of the Texans grass. But they still have two games

2407
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:15,119
left with the Indianapolis Colts, but some tough games with

2408
02:04:15,199 --> 02:04:20,079
the Chiefs Bills. I'm not gonna call it a must

2409
02:04:20,079 --> 02:04:22,079
win game, Jonathan, because you know, I don't you know

2410
02:04:22,119 --> 02:04:24,199
how I feel about must win games. Oh no, man,

2411
02:04:24,479 --> 02:04:27,560
it seems like it's getting pretty close.

2412
02:04:28,239 --> 02:04:28,279
Speaker 13: No.

2413
02:04:28,760 --> 02:04:30,720
Speaker 1: No, We've already had must win games earlier in the

2414
02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:33,359
season and they lost them. People said Jaguars was a

2415
02:04:33,479 --> 02:04:36,239
must win game in Week three. People said the Titan

2416
02:04:36,439 --> 02:04:38,359
the Ravens game was a must win game in like

2417
02:04:38,479 --> 02:04:41,079
Week five. Nobody said the Seahawks game was a must win.

2418
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:43,520
Broncos game would have been nice to have. I mean,

2419
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,399
you should have won that game against the Broncos. He

2420
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:48,800
basically say that about every Texans loss that they've had

2421
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:51,159
so far, not necessarily that they should have won on

2422
02:04:51,159 --> 02:04:53,399
the road against the Seahawks. They were getting vastly outplayed

2423
02:04:53,399 --> 02:04:56,079
in that game, but every other one, every other loss

2424
02:04:56,600 --> 02:05:00,239
they should have could have would have won those games. Games,

2425
02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:04,960
the one score games against the Rams, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Seahawks,

2426
02:05:05,359 --> 02:05:09,319
and Broncos. They have been in five one score games

2427
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:13,520
this year. They are zero to five in one score games.

2428
02:05:14,119 --> 02:05:15,680
So they just could have won a couple of those.

2429
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:18,560
They'd be in much better position as far as making

2430
02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:23,720
the playoffs. Now they're down to to I mean, just

2431
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:25,920
a few chips left on the table, and if they

2432
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:28,119
lose against the Jaguars, it's gonna be really bad. They

2433
02:05:28,159 --> 02:05:29,920
can rip off a bunch of wins after that, if

2434
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:32,439
they get CJ. Stroud back and he's healthy, and this

2435
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,359
offensive line was looking better, the offense had been looking better,

2436
02:05:36,560 --> 02:05:38,199
and the defense, of course we know, is one of

2437
02:05:38,239 --> 02:05:41,880
the best units in football. It's tough, but like that

2438
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:43,760
one cost. I think it was yesterday. He was saying

2439
02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:45,520
that he was just checked out of everything, and I'm

2440
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:46,039
almost at.

2441
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:46,319
Speaker 2: The c J.

2442
02:05:46,399 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Stroud's checked Oh the oh Texans fans always check out.

2443
02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:52,479
But like, look, we talk go ahead, no, but I'm

2444
02:05:52,520 --> 02:05:55,680
saying that if we lose again, what is there to

2445
02:05:55,800 --> 02:05:58,119
really even hope for at that point? Because right now,

2446
02:05:58,279 --> 02:06:01,760
like Matt said earlier, nothing's gon happen. Deadline, You'll you'll

2447
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:03,840
be three and six. You have lost three of your

2448
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:08,359
last four. Nice win against the forty nine Ers, an ugly,

2449
02:06:08,479 --> 02:06:10,640
ugly game. And that's another thing too, when people are

2450
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:12,520
checking out of the Texans. I get it, Like I

2451
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:15,199
look at the board. I look at the spreads every week,

2452
02:06:15,239 --> 02:06:16,960
I look at the biggest, smallest spreads. I look at

2453
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:20,479
the totals, biggest smallest totals, like a good fun NFL

2454
02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:22,319
game is going to have a total of like fifty

2455
02:06:22,319 --> 02:06:27,359
to fifty two plus. The Texans are always at or

2456
02:06:27,439 --> 02:06:29,439
near the bottom of the league. This week, you're not

2457
02:06:29,560 --> 02:06:33,960
the worst Jets and Browns. I mean, you want to

2458
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:35,600
claw your eyes out or you want to watch Jets

2459
02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:38,920
and Browns thirty six and a half in an NFL game.

2460
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:44,800
That basically implies like, if these teams can course score

2461
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:50,039
eighteen points, they're lucky. That's how bad that is. What

2462
02:06:50,159 --> 02:06:54,039
is that like eighteen? Yeah, basically an eighteen to sixteen

2463
02:06:54,159 --> 02:06:58,159
game at this point, or I guess in nineteen and nineteen,

2464
02:06:58,159 --> 02:07:02,680
twenty twenty to eighteen game. Yeah, that's nasty. Nobody wants

2465
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:05,880
to watch that. That's what the Texans have. They're at

2466
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:08,039
thirty seven and a half. They're one point better than

2467
02:07:08,079 --> 02:07:12,279
that Jaguars. Texans. This is ugly football, at least if

2468
02:07:12,279 --> 02:07:14,119
you're gonna be bad like the Cowboys. Now, they didn't

2469
02:07:14,119 --> 02:07:16,159
score a ton of points against the I guess the

2470
02:07:16,199 --> 02:07:18,840
Cardinals yesterday. I think it was was like seventeen. But

2471
02:07:18,960 --> 02:07:22,079
for the most part they've been in some fun neck knockdown,

2472
02:07:22,199 --> 02:07:24,359
rock them, sock them, drag it out. Last team that

2473
02:07:24,439 --> 02:07:26,960
get the ball wins because we have a horrible defense

2474
02:07:27,239 --> 02:07:31,119
like that, that's at least entertaining. Like for the most part,

2475
02:07:31,239 --> 02:07:34,079
these games are just bad and they come down to

2476
02:07:34,199 --> 02:07:38,920
these marginal calls that Demico Ryans continues to fumble as

2477
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:41,680
far as decisions on when to kick, what to do

2478
02:07:41,800 --> 02:07:44,680
in this short down situation, Like they get to the

2479
02:07:44,960 --> 02:07:49,199
the one yard line. How often they get to the

2480
02:07:49,359 --> 02:07:51,600
one or two yard line and they cannot punch in

2481
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:55,600
a touchdown. That is not fun football. That is not entertainment.

2482
02:07:55,960 --> 02:08:00,239
The NFL is supposed to be entertaining sports. So where

2483
02:08:00,279 --> 02:08:03,359
we're seeing all these crazy touchdowns and plays and oh

2484
02:08:03,439 --> 02:08:05,279
my gosh, you see that, and you're on the group

2485
02:08:05,399 --> 02:08:08,239
chat and you're like, oh my goodness, did you see

2486
02:08:08,279 --> 02:08:11,680
that Nico Collins catch? Did you see that CJ. Stroud throw?

2487
02:08:12,159 --> 02:08:14,560
Did you see I don't know Woody Marks's catch and

2488
02:08:14,640 --> 02:08:17,560
his stiff arm into the end zone. They're not getting

2489
02:08:17,560 --> 02:08:22,279
into the end zone. It's not been entertaining. So I

2490
02:08:22,439 --> 02:08:25,000
understand why people are saying they're checked out and they're

2491
02:08:25,039 --> 02:08:27,479
gonna further check out if you watch this Jaguars game,

2492
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:31,079
because it's not gonna be Trevor Lawrence versus Davis Mills

2493
02:08:32,199 --> 02:08:36,479
is not appetizing at all. We don't have any update. No,

2494
02:08:36,680 --> 02:08:39,279
he's probably I'm gonna get just in general, when you

2495
02:08:39,479 --> 02:08:41,760
leave the game with a concussion, that means you already

2496
02:08:41,800 --> 02:08:45,079
failed concussion protocol and then they generally hold you out

2497
02:08:45,079 --> 02:08:47,960
a week from there for your for your own safety.

2498
02:08:48,119 --> 02:08:51,279
So my guess, without knowing for sure is that CJ.

2499
02:08:51,359 --> 02:08:54,000
Stroud is gonna miss this week and then he'll be

2500
02:08:54,079 --> 02:08:56,239
back next week. Normally, if it's the first one of

2501
02:08:56,279 --> 02:08:58,359
the year, you miss week. If it's multiples, then you're

2502
02:08:58,359 --> 02:09:01,239
probably gonna miss multiple weeks. In the NFL, that's just

2503
02:09:01,319 --> 02:09:03,000
kind of been the general rule of thumb. Of course,

2504
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:07,840
there have been exceptions to that, So yeah, get ready

2505
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:14,199
to learn. Davis Mills, Iron Eagle, and JJ Watt not pretty.

2506
02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:16,520
So I get it. I'm battle red Ross though, I'm

2507
02:09:16,560 --> 02:09:19,000
a Texans fan now and I'm gonna continue to root

2508
02:09:19,039 --> 02:09:20,760
for them. Okay, we're gonna take quick break here on

2509
02:09:20,880 --> 02:09:24,159
the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. We're talking some Texans

2510
02:09:24,319 --> 02:09:26,720
football as they have the big game coming up against

2511
02:09:26,720 --> 02:09:29,239
the Jaguars. A lot of NFL news with the moving

2512
02:09:29,319 --> 02:09:32,359
and shaking with the trade deadline. Do you think the

2513
02:09:32,560 --> 02:09:36,199
Texans will make a trade. Should they make a trade,

2514
02:09:36,239 --> 02:09:38,600
you can get in and talk about that. Rockets get

2515
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:41,720
the victory over the Dallas Mavericks last night one ten

2516
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:44,000
to one oh two. Phone lines open for you at

2517
02:09:44,039 --> 02:09:47,239
seven to one, three two one two five seven ninety

2518
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:50,000
seven one three two one two five seven ninety We

2519
02:09:50,079 --> 02:09:53,119
also have the NFL rewind coming up. It is the

2520
02:09:53,159 --> 02:09:55,279
Matt Thomas Show with Ross without Matt Thomas with you

2521
02:09:55,359 --> 02:10:00,439
until two o'clock here on Sports Talk seven niney all right,

2522
02:10:00,520 --> 02:10:04,119
you know what that music means. It is time for

2523
02:10:04,520 --> 02:10:09,000
the NFL rewind. Here on the Matt Thomas Show with Russ,

2524
02:10:10,800 --> 02:10:12,800
where we had to start off. We got some breaking news.

2525
02:10:19,239 --> 02:10:25,920
I would say it's at least two. Okay, Now, if

2526
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:29,680
you're a Cowboys fan, it's like a four. But most

2527
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:32,399
of us, I would say, in the Houston area, not

2528
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:35,880
Cowboys fan, I'm gonna stick with two. Still a pretty

2529
02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:40,520
big blockbuster trade the Jets. You know, I give it three,

2530
02:10:40,640 --> 02:10:45,119
Give it three? Why not? Quinn Williams is a baller.

2531
02:10:46,720 --> 02:10:50,760
The Jets are trading three time a Pro Bowl defensive lineman,

2532
02:10:51,039 --> 02:10:54,960
Quinn Williams to the Cowboys. Wait, let me make sure

2533
02:10:55,039 --> 02:10:56,960
this is the see this is how it used to be.

2534
02:10:57,079 --> 02:11:00,760
You see a blue check and you're good. Tom Pelissaro,

2535
02:11:01,399 --> 02:11:05,319
Tom Pelisaro, seven hundred and ninety one followers. This has

2536
02:11:05,319 --> 02:11:11,640
got six hundred retweets. Quinn Williams to the Cowboys. Tom

2537
02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:15,920
Pelissaro says, New York getting a twenty twenty six first

2538
02:11:16,039 --> 02:11:21,279
round pick and more for Williams. Oh yeah, Adam, okay,

2539
02:11:21,439 --> 02:11:24,439
long as okay, Chefty's got it. Pelisara, I mean, Pelisara

2540
02:11:24,560 --> 02:11:27,720
is very reliable too. But if Schefti's got it, were

2541
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:30,520
definitely in the clear. Okay, So Jess's clean house. So

2542
02:11:31,039 --> 02:11:34,600
you had Jerry Jones was talking about a possible trade

2543
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:36,920
being made or that there was already a trade lined up.

2544
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:42,880
Quinn Williams, three time pro bowler, been one of the

2545
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:45,319
best on the interior. Isn't this the guy who blessed

2546
02:11:45,359 --> 02:11:47,079
himself on that interview when he came into the league.

2547
02:11:47,079 --> 02:11:48,319
This is the same dude, did he you know what

2548
02:11:48,319 --> 02:11:51,520
I'm talking about? No, wasn't he the one that can

2549
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:54,039
cussed c J Stroud or heard him on that turf

2550
02:11:54,079 --> 02:11:56,960
that meant life turf. Quinn Went is a bad man,

2551
02:11:57,439 --> 02:12:00,439
like he's good. He's twenty seven years old. I don't

2552
02:12:00,439 --> 02:12:04,640
know what his contract situation is, but that's good for

2553
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:09,560
the Cowboys who are three and five and one. Excuse me,

2554
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:11,119
I don't want to I don't want to forget their

2555
02:12:11,399 --> 02:12:15,720
their uh their tie for a first round pick. So

2556
02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:18,520
they gave away, say they got two first round picks

2557
02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:21,800
for Michael Parsons they're giving one away to get Quinn Williams.

2558
02:12:22,720 --> 02:12:26,039
Interesting stuff. So the Jets's Jets fire sale. How do

2559
02:12:26,039 --> 02:12:31,760
you feel right now? If you're Aaron Glenn? How can

2560
02:12:31,840 --> 02:12:35,479
they disgrace Nimitz cougar legend Aaron Glenn like this? If

2561
02:12:35,479 --> 02:12:39,119
you're Aaron Glenn and you're looking like this, like so

2562
02:12:39,239 --> 02:12:41,840
they traded away? So I mean you are a defensive

2563
02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:44,479
minded coach, by the way, the defensive coordinator of the

2564
02:12:44,560 --> 02:12:47,600
Detroit Lions who was hired away to helm the New

2565
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:51,600
York Jets. They just traded away your best cornerback and

2566
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:54,880
your best defensive lineman. Your team is in a fire sale,

2567
02:12:55,159 --> 02:12:59,079
and Justin Fields or Tarrod Taylor are your quarterbacks. And

2568
02:12:59,239 --> 02:13:03,760
Breece Hall might be going away as well. You're still winless.

2569
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:07,399
You need to start looking for real estate. Man, I

2570
02:13:07,439 --> 02:13:10,039
hope he isn't there. Well, it probably didn't buy in

2571
02:13:10,079 --> 02:13:13,399
New York anyway. It's too expensive out there. It's New York.

2572
02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:16,439
So you are you are one in seven on the

2573
02:13:16,560 --> 02:13:23,359
season and they're trading away your best playersikes. Al right, sorry, Jonathan,

2574
02:13:23,399 --> 02:13:27,840
I was gonna have you bring us NFL this. Yeah, no,

2575
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:31,319
you're fine. This is some meaty news. Also as well

2576
02:13:32,319 --> 02:13:37,399
moving for oh else, Yes, somebody somebody tweeted somebody uh

2577
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:42,880
tagged thank you to Strostros. Yes, Quinn Williams blessed himself

2578
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:46,880
in his interview Please I knew, was like, he looks

2579
02:13:47,359 --> 02:13:50,920
my gosh, he looks so young. He's got braces. It

2580
02:13:50,960 --> 02:13:53,600
looks like he's twenty two years old. And now he's

2581
02:13:53,720 --> 02:13:57,680
just this big, menacing, three time Pro Bowl defensive tackle

2582
02:13:58,600 --> 02:14:02,279
who was in wreaking havoc on NFL the offensive lines

2583
02:14:02,920 --> 02:14:04,720
for the last three years. He was a bad man

2584
02:14:04,800 --> 02:14:07,760
in Alabama. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Georgia.

2585
02:14:07,800 --> 02:14:08,800
But I was like, no, he didn't go to Georgia.

2586
02:14:08,800 --> 02:14:10,239
I know he was had to be one of the

2587
02:14:10,319 --> 02:14:13,159
last two. Now it it was sixth year or seventh

2588
02:14:13,239 --> 02:14:17,119
year in the NFL. Are you serious? Twenty ones year

2589
02:14:17,520 --> 02:14:20,119
he's he's oh never mind, he didn't slip in the draft.

2590
02:14:20,159 --> 02:14:24,319
He was third overall. Yeah, I'm getting old, beast, Yeah,

2591
02:14:24,319 --> 02:14:26,840
you are getting old, Johnathan gosh winning get you a wheelchair,

2592
02:14:27,039 --> 02:14:30,159
high school, get you a walker interviewing like last week,

2593
02:14:30,439 --> 02:14:34,399
twenty nineteen. Apparently, Okay, so yeah I was junior school.

2594
02:14:34,399 --> 02:14:36,119
All right, nobody cares, All right, what else you got on?

2595
02:14:36,239 --> 02:14:39,800
What else? Shut up? Shut up? Hey, So so Seahawks

2596
02:14:39,920 --> 02:14:43,560
also got another weapon out of the out of Saints

2597
02:14:43,640 --> 02:14:48,359
with Rashid Shaheed. I don't know what else he's got here,

2598
02:14:48,439 --> 02:14:51,359
but what was the what was the trade for Rashid Shaheed?

2599
02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:54,560
Now a Seattle Seahawks. That's good draft picks for him.

2600
02:14:54,560 --> 02:14:57,600
Seahawks didn't tell me what got from I'm telling you, folks,

2601
02:14:57,720 --> 02:15:01,600
bad journalism. I apologize you. Seattle is sitting their twenty

2602
02:15:01,920 --> 02:15:04,800
twenty six fourth and fifth round picks to New Orleans

2603
02:15:04,880 --> 02:15:06,920
for Rashidi Sahied. And that's kind of cheap if you

2604
02:15:06,960 --> 02:15:09,119
ask me to add another weapon over to the seats.

2605
02:15:09,199 --> 02:15:12,199
Seahawks are legit NFC contenders. I'm just gonna tell you

2606
02:15:12,279 --> 02:15:14,680
right now. The Dogs they look I mean, the Eagles

2607
02:15:14,720 --> 02:15:21,319
are great, the Rams are really good. Seahawks, Buccaneers, that's

2608
02:15:21,319 --> 02:15:24,600
your top four. Maybe you put the Green Bay Packers

2609
02:15:24,640 --> 02:15:28,479
in there. I'm buying in on the Seahawks. They're legit.

2610
02:15:29,199 --> 02:15:32,720
Sam Donald's been great, Jackson Smith and Jigba is maybe

2611
02:15:32,800 --> 02:15:37,399
the best receiver on the planet right now. Honestly, I

2612
02:15:37,439 --> 02:15:39,840
mean he's up for that. I mean Jamar Chase certainly

2613
02:15:40,399 --> 02:15:43,880
justin Jefferson. Certainly he's getting in that conversation. Like if

2614
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:46,119
you told me Daniel Jones and Sam Donald and you're

2615
02:15:46,239 --> 02:15:48,479
twenty twenty five going to twenty twenty six, we're gonna

2616
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:50,960
be be somebody, and I'd be like, this is they

2617
02:15:51,000 --> 02:15:52,920
have a one score loss to the Niners, a one

2618
02:15:53,000 --> 02:15:55,880
score loss of the Buccaneers in a shootout. I mean

2619
02:15:55,960 --> 02:15:58,119
they were very they lost. They only beat the Texas

2620
02:15:58,159 --> 02:15:59,960
by eight, but they were very clearly the better team

2621
02:16:00,079 --> 02:16:02,399
in that in that game they got up like twenty

2622
02:16:02,439 --> 02:16:05,359
eight to nothing on the Commanders. Seahawks are legit and

2623
02:16:05,479 --> 02:16:08,680
Rashid Shaheed is gonna be good. Raiders are also trading

2624
02:16:09,680 --> 02:16:13,319
dealing Jacobe Myers to the Jaguars for yes and six

2625
02:16:13,880 --> 02:16:18,760
pick and what are the Jaguars doing? You know it's

2626
02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:21,239
Brian Thomas been that bad. I guess he has. Hey,

2627
02:16:21,399 --> 02:16:23,399
that's not too different. He's been hurt and disinterested.

2628
02:16:23,560 --> 02:16:23,680
Speaker 7: Man.

2629
02:16:24,680 --> 02:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jacob Parris is good. Jacobin Myers has been one

2630
02:16:27,720 --> 02:16:29,880
out of there. He's been disgruntled. And I forgot that

2631
02:16:30,000 --> 02:16:33,200
Travis Hunter was hurt as well, so that Travis Hunter's

2632
02:16:33,239 --> 02:16:35,440
missed a couple of games. Brian Thomas has been bad,

2633
02:16:35,559 --> 02:16:38,000
So this is a good trade for the Jaguars. Jacobin

2634
02:16:38,040 --> 02:16:41,040
Myers hasn't had a great season for the Raiders, but

2635
02:16:41,120 --> 02:16:42,399
I think a lot of that is he's in a

2636
02:16:42,440 --> 02:16:44,760
bad situation. You don't want to be there. I would

2637
02:16:44,840 --> 02:16:48,680
expect him to hit him to produce more in a

2638
02:16:48,799 --> 02:16:51,600
Jaguars uniform, even though I don't think Trevor Lawrence. I

2639
02:16:51,600 --> 02:16:53,760
don't think Trevor Lawrence is a bad quarterback. He's just mid.

2640
02:16:53,840 --> 02:16:56,040
I think he's gotten watching some of the games this year.

2641
02:16:56,040 --> 02:16:57,600
I think he's done a little better. He's a little

2642
02:16:57,600 --> 02:16:58,079
more comfortable.

2643
02:16:58,079 --> 02:16:58,200
Speaker 14: You know.

2644
02:16:58,280 --> 02:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a guy who's around

2645
02:16:59,799 --> 02:17:02,159
like the fourteenth to eighteenth best quarterback in the league

2646
02:17:02,159 --> 02:17:04,920
at any given moment. And that's okay because he was

2647
02:17:04,959 --> 02:17:08,959
this all world prospects. Sometimes all world prospects don't work out, yeah,

2648
02:17:09,079 --> 02:17:12,239
I mean, and guys can hit their ceilings at a

2649
02:17:12,239 --> 02:17:14,840
certain age. You know, there are child prodigies who are

2650
02:17:14,959 --> 02:17:18,000
geniuses at twelve who don't develop and they just develop

2651
02:17:18,079 --> 02:17:20,319
in a regular people. I've seen them in my just

2652
02:17:20,440 --> 02:17:22,559
people I grew up with. You see them now exactly.

2653
02:17:22,600 --> 02:17:24,280
It's crazy to think about that. I don't know if

2654
02:17:24,319 --> 02:17:26,360
you think of like child prodise he's at the age

2655
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:28,319
of twelve and chess like, oh, he's the best in

2656
02:17:28,360 --> 02:17:30,719
the world, and they don't develop necessarily to the one

2657
02:17:30,760 --> 02:17:32,799
of the best. Everybody hit the ceiling at some point

2658
02:17:33,159 --> 02:17:34,799
or they lose a passion. I'm not saying that happen

2659
02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:39,559
for Trevor Lawrence, but uh, he's just he's not going

2660
02:17:39,600 --> 02:17:41,639
to be a Tier one quarterback. I don't think in

2661
02:17:41,680 --> 02:17:44,520
his NFL career. Did you mention the other Cowboys trade

2662
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:47,399
with Logan Wilson? I did not, So that was a

2663
02:17:47,479 --> 02:17:51,840
sou after this loss man. Jerry Jones, Jry Jones, Mike

2664
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:57,680
some trades. Now, I don't know why I talk like lace, Hm,

2665
02:17:59,159 --> 02:18:01,239
I don't know. I mean, I don't have time to

2666
02:18:01,360 --> 02:18:03,120
jack with you today. Let me try to find this.

2667
02:18:03,200 --> 02:18:03,799
I got some of these.

2668
02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:08,520
Speaker 9: I don't have the patience to jack with you today.

2669
02:18:08,639 --> 02:18:11,079
Speaker 1: I can't jack with you today, all right, Jerry, thank you,

2670
02:18:12,040 --> 02:18:15,079
appreciate you. This was yesterday as well.

2671
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:18,600
Speaker 7: Raven's acquiring a whole bunch of time when I have

2672
02:18:18,719 --> 02:18:19,959
to put a damn out of you.

2673
02:18:21,239 --> 02:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Okay, this is Jerry Jones to his defense. Put your

2674
02:18:24,239 --> 02:18:27,280
damn act together, all right? There you go. What was

2675
02:18:27,319 --> 02:18:29,079
the name of the What was the name of the linebacker,

2676
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:32,559
Logan Wilson. Logan Wilson for the Bengals. You can't be

2677
02:18:32,639 --> 02:18:36,000
that good, That's what I don't. I think that's why

2678
02:18:36,079 --> 02:18:38,360
why he doubled up and got somebody else. Quinny Williams

2679
02:18:38,360 --> 02:18:40,920
is a great acquisition. So that Cowboys defense is going

2680
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:44,040
to be a little bit better. I still think they're

2681
02:18:44,079 --> 02:18:45,959
on the outside looking in as far as those contenders

2682
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:48,639
that I mentioned in the NFC, but that's trying to

2683
02:18:48,680 --> 02:18:52,879
get something done. Meanwhile, any updates on the Texans, Jonathan,

2684
02:18:52,920 --> 02:18:55,959
do we have any big Texans trade news. Let's see,

2685
02:18:56,399 --> 02:18:58,319
they could use a pass catcher, they could use a

2686
02:18:58,440 --> 02:19:01,719
running back, they can use it off the lineman defense

2687
02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:03,920
is pretty good, but I mean you can still I

2688
02:19:03,959 --> 02:19:06,760
don't even know a linebacker or maybe some secondary help

2689
02:19:06,799 --> 02:19:11,840
anywhere in there. Any pig nudes. I've been refreshing my

2690
02:19:11,879 --> 02:19:14,600
page the last five minutes, in the last hour, we

2691
02:19:14,719 --> 02:19:19,000
haven't got anybody. Okay, don't be disappointed. Maybe this is

2692
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:22,399
something happening. And so it's a first rounder a and

2693
02:19:22,600 --> 02:19:27,959
a second rounder from the Cowboys and Mazzie Smith, who

2694
02:19:28,079 --> 02:19:32,319
is a defensive lineman for the Cowboys. So a d lineman,

2695
02:19:32,399 --> 02:19:34,239
a second rounder in a first rounder going to the

2696
02:19:34,360 --> 02:19:39,479
Jets are loading up? Dude, Wow, I hope they keep

2697
02:19:39,520 --> 02:19:42,120
Aeron Glynn there. I think he's a good coach. I

2698
02:19:42,319 --> 02:19:47,680
know it's New York. He's a fall guy, all right,

2699
02:19:47,680 --> 02:19:50,280
anything else in the NFL? Rewind Jonathan, We're gonna we

2700
02:19:50,399 --> 02:19:52,360
clear now. There's a a bunch of other trades. We

2701
02:19:52,399 --> 02:19:54,840
geeat a bunch of little small trades, especially like with

2702
02:19:54,920 --> 02:19:58,600
the Ravens and Dramonte got a trade Hendrickson, Right, are

2703
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:01,680
the Bengals Are they giving up? I don't think they

2704
02:20:01,680 --> 02:20:05,600
should be given up right now? Joe Flacco's been good,

2705
02:20:05,799 --> 02:20:09,600
but they're three and six. You gotta be realistic. And

2706
02:20:09,799 --> 02:20:11,879
it doesn't seem like Joe Borlo is coming back anytime

2707
02:20:12,040 --> 02:20:16,079
from that. Yeah. That turf toe surgery, what is even

2708
02:20:17,040 --> 02:20:19,200
It's like a ligament dam damage in your toes. It

2709
02:20:19,319 --> 02:20:22,760
sounds like the most harmless injury. It's the most harmless

2710
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:25,520
sounding injury. That's pretty serious. I think you can have

2711
02:20:25,639 --> 02:20:28,079
like ligament, like multiple ligaments turning your toe and then

2712
02:20:28,159 --> 02:20:30,799
just call it turf to what's the actual is the injury?

2713
02:20:30,879 --> 02:20:33,520
Just call it turf to like, you know, you want

2714
02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:35,280
to get you the actual name. Well, I don't know

2715
02:20:35,440 --> 02:20:43,879
what it's called. Uh, meta tarsa fullane geel. It's a

2716
02:20:44,159 --> 02:20:47,879
meta tarsa fulanengeal joint sprain. There you go. That's why

2717
02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:50,360
they just call it like it's called it turf tow.

2718
02:20:50,760 --> 02:20:54,559
It's good, We're good. Confused anybody, Well, you know the

2719
02:20:54,600 --> 02:20:58,040
meta tarsals that's foot and the falangeel that just means

2720
02:20:58,079 --> 02:21:01,200
the the toe, right, I don't no, you know what

2721
02:21:01,280 --> 02:21:02,840
this is, your Faul Johnson. We're gonna take a break.

2722
02:21:03,159 --> 02:21:04,719
We're gonna go get out. I'm gonna dust off a

2723
02:21:04,840 --> 02:21:06,799
medical book out of the medical library up here, and

2724
02:21:06,799 --> 02:21:09,000
then we're gonna go in. Uh, we're gonna dive into that. Okay,

2725
02:21:09,360 --> 02:21:12,920
big trades made in the NFL, Texans not being a

2726
02:21:12,959 --> 02:21:16,680
part of it. If Nick Cassario sits on his hands,

2727
02:21:17,479 --> 02:21:21,840
is that general managing malpractice? Yes? Or do you say

2728
02:21:21,879 --> 02:21:24,760
it's giving up too much in the draft or does

2729
02:21:24,799 --> 02:21:26,760
it depend? What do you think? Seven one three two

2730
02:21:26,799 --> 02:21:30,399
one two five seven ninety. I'm getting like I'm getting

2731
02:21:30,440 --> 02:21:35,000
trade envy. Cowboys are making multiple trades, Jets are ownloading stuff.

2732
02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:38,879
But the Seahawks have traded for players. The Jaguars and

2733
02:21:39,040 --> 02:21:41,239
the Colts, the two teams that are ahead of you

2734
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:44,319
in the AFC South, have made trades. How do you

2735
02:21:44,399 --> 02:21:47,520
feel about it? Seven to one three two one two five,

2736
02:21:47,879 --> 02:21:51,159
seven ninety. Is it a must trade trade deadline for

2737
02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:53,719
Nick Cassario and the Texans seven to one three two

2738
02:21:53,799 --> 02:22:09,360
one two five seven ninety. All right, my head is spinning.

2739
02:22:11,200 --> 02:22:13,559
I'm trying to keep up all these trades happening in

2740
02:22:13,600 --> 02:22:17,760
the NFL. Jets are gonna be a really good spot,

2741
02:22:19,559 --> 02:22:22,639
really good spot. I hope they don't do my boy,

2742
02:22:22,680 --> 02:22:27,120
Aaron Glenn dirty. Don't shake your head at me, Jonathan,

2743
02:22:27,799 --> 02:22:34,079
It's fine, all right, welcome back to the Matt Thomas Show. Well, okay,

2744
02:22:34,239 --> 02:22:36,559
if you thought he was this great coach, he was

2745
02:22:36,639 --> 02:22:41,120
a hot name defensive coordinator, wasn't there franchise he turned

2746
02:22:41,159 --> 02:22:43,200
down to go to the Jets. I can't remember where

2747
02:22:43,239 --> 02:22:46,040
he told them thanks but no thanks. Maybe the cycle

2748
02:22:46,120 --> 02:22:49,639
before or something like that, like a really good defensive

2749
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:56,079
coordinator with the Detroit Lions held in high esteem, was

2750
02:22:56,120 --> 02:22:59,840
a Pro Bowl player. It was a Texans legend for

2751
02:23:00,040 --> 02:23:03,680
a couple of years. And of course, hey name it's

2752
02:23:03,760 --> 02:23:06,639
Cougar and uh Texas A and m right. It is

2753
02:23:06,680 --> 02:23:10,479
the aggie graduate I think, or at least an aggie player. Yeah,

2754
02:23:11,239 --> 02:23:15,159
so we'll see. I'm just saying like, if you like,

2755
02:23:15,239 --> 02:23:18,280
this is our guy and then you give him justin

2756
02:23:18,440 --> 02:23:20,719
fields and a team that has completely fallen apart, and

2757
02:23:20,719 --> 02:23:23,440
you're saying he can't win, it's tough. I mean, if

2758
02:23:25,360 --> 02:23:28,399
that means Brece Hall is definitely got to get moved

2759
02:23:28,479 --> 02:23:30,799
right talking about doing it right now, and there's no

2760
02:23:30,920 --> 02:23:33,680
way Texans aren't putting their first foot forward to get him.

2761
02:23:33,680 --> 02:23:37,399
I don't know, I just don't. It just hasn't been

2762
02:23:37,559 --> 02:23:39,520
in Nick. Cause if somebody could bring to my attention,

2763
02:23:39,719 --> 02:23:45,840
Nick Casario dead like blockbuster deadline deals, I just I

2764
02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:48,559
can't think of any What time is the is it?

2765
02:23:48,719 --> 02:23:51,000
Is it four o'clock eastern? I think it's four o'clock eastern.

2766
02:23:51,200 --> 02:23:54,000
H Okay, so three o'clock our time is the deadline.

2767
02:23:54,680 --> 02:23:57,159
So we're coming down to like the final ninety minutes.

2768
02:23:57,719 --> 02:23:59,879
This has felt like this has felt like the Major

2769
02:24:00,200 --> 02:24:03,200
Baseball or the basketball trade deadline. We've talked about how

2770
02:24:03,280 --> 02:24:06,000
normally in years past, I mean, teams don't want to

2771
02:24:07,280 --> 02:24:09,399
they don't want to give up draft capital for the

2772
02:24:09,479 --> 02:24:12,159
most part, but you got a lot of draft capital

2773
02:24:12,280 --> 02:24:15,840
being given up, and maybe just people getting in win

2774
02:24:15,959 --> 02:24:18,959
now mode because these general managers, you know, the leashes

2775
02:24:18,959 --> 02:24:21,399
are shorter. If you're going out there and you're losing

2776
02:24:21,440 --> 02:24:25,440
all these games and your job is on the line,

2777
02:24:26,920 --> 02:24:28,959
you're gonna have to do whatever you can to try

2778
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:31,760
to at least give your fan base and your ownership

2779
02:24:32,200 --> 02:24:34,040
a semblance of hope that hey, I'm doing something, I'm

2780
02:24:34,079 --> 02:24:35,719
not sitting in my hands. Yeah, look at this trade

2781
02:24:35,760 --> 02:24:37,680
I made. Look I got us into the playoffs, or

2782
02:24:37,799 --> 02:24:41,520
look I got us a division championship. Maybe that's what's happening.

2783
02:24:41,520 --> 02:24:44,239
Maybe it's just more urgency from people. Why we've seen

2784
02:24:44,319 --> 02:24:47,760
more trades in the last several years, Because I don't

2785
02:24:47,799 --> 02:24:49,760
care about trading a first round pick. In two years

2786
02:24:49,799 --> 02:24:51,520
from now, I could be gone if I don't make

2787
02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:53,040
the playoffs, I could be gone if we don't win

2788
02:24:53,079 --> 02:24:54,959
the make it the divisional round or the AFC or

2789
02:24:55,000 --> 02:24:59,399
NFC championship game or something like that. Because this is crazy,

2790
02:24:59,440 --> 02:25:02,399
and the Jets are cleaning up. Quite frankly, they have

2791
02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:07,079
five first round picks in the next two years. The

2792
02:25:07,200 --> 02:25:10,959
New York Jets. They have next year, they have theirs,

2793
02:25:11,159 --> 02:25:14,840
then the Indianapolis pick. In twenty seven, they have a

2794
02:25:14,959 --> 02:25:19,200
Dallas pick in Indianapolis pick, and then their own. And

2795
02:25:19,399 --> 02:25:22,959
by the way, in case you were wondering that Dallas

2796
02:25:23,120 --> 02:25:26,280
pick that the Jets are getting, it's going to be

2797
02:25:26,399 --> 02:25:29,639
whatever is the highest between their pick and the Green

2798
02:25:29,680 --> 02:25:33,239
Bay Packers, So they get to choose whichever won is

2799
02:25:33,319 --> 02:25:37,200
the best pick in twenty twenty seven between Dallas's own

2800
02:25:37,280 --> 02:25:38,760
pick and the one that they have from the Michael

2801
02:25:38,799 --> 02:25:42,600
Parsons trade. That's going to the Jets. That's a great

2802
02:25:42,680 --> 02:25:47,840
trade for them. Quinn Williams big miss Sauce Gardner, great cornerback.

2803
02:25:48,799 --> 02:25:50,760
But you got five first round picks in the next

2804
02:25:50,799 --> 02:25:53,120
two years, and they have two round picks two first

2805
02:25:53,200 --> 02:25:57,520
round picks next year as well in that deal. Jets

2806
02:25:57,559 --> 02:26:01,079
are cleaning up. Let's go and check any news anything

2807
02:26:01,120 --> 02:26:05,959
on the Texans. I'm hity fresh, I'm hitting that. Five

2808
02:26:09,239 --> 02:26:11,600
Breese Hall to the Houston Texans makes perfect sense. That

2809
02:26:11,639 --> 02:26:13,360
would also signal to us. I mean, we haven't heard

2810
02:26:13,399 --> 02:26:16,200
anything from from as far as an update on what's

2811
02:26:16,239 --> 02:26:18,159
happening with Joe Mixon. He's got to be gone for you.

2812
02:26:18,239 --> 02:26:19,959
But wouldn't that help as well at getting Breese Hall,

2813
02:26:19,959 --> 02:26:22,440
would just pass blocking, just you know, having some extra

2814
02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:25,600
backing anything. I mean, we had Nick Chubb and Woody Marks.

2815
02:26:25,600 --> 02:26:28,040
They're fine pass blocking, they just can't they're just not

2816
02:26:28,200 --> 02:26:30,600
very good runners. But also you have to ask yourself, Okay,

2817
02:26:31,079 --> 02:26:33,559
we can have these these great running backs, but if

2818
02:26:33,600 --> 02:26:36,159
we can't block for them, we don't have a good

2819
02:26:36,159 --> 02:26:38,559
offensive line. The run blocking has been a lot better

2820
02:26:38,639 --> 02:26:41,840
for the Texans, especially, and Ingram's been good. Titus Howard

2821
02:26:41,879 --> 02:26:44,719
has been good, but he's out of with concussion. Offensive

2822
02:26:44,799 --> 02:26:47,799
line running game, that's what I would like to see.

2823
02:26:48,079 --> 02:26:49,799
If you don't if you know, if you're saying, oh, okay,

2824
02:26:49,799 --> 02:26:53,879
we're okay with Nico Collins. We got Dalton Schultz and

2825
02:26:54,760 --> 02:26:57,680
Jalen Knowles made some plays. Christian Kirk as long as

2826
02:26:57,719 --> 02:27:01,479
he's healthy, I'm okay with that. Necessarily needing pass catcher.

2827
02:27:02,559 --> 02:27:04,840
Offensive line is also difficult to make those types of

2828
02:27:04,920 --> 02:27:08,440
trades because guys don't want to give up good offensive linemen.

2829
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:10,120
I don't think you're gonna be getting some kind of

2830
02:27:10,120 --> 02:27:13,319
Pro Bowl caliber guy, not anyone of the caliber of

2831
02:27:13,399 --> 02:27:15,639
you know what, Queenn Williams is to the defensive line

2832
02:27:15,719 --> 02:27:18,639
or what Micah Parsons is. Of course that type of stuff.

2833
02:27:18,719 --> 02:27:21,120
But I mean, if you can get somebody that's just

2834
02:27:21,520 --> 02:27:25,959
a plus starter, that'd be nice. But Nick Cassario is

2835
02:27:25,959 --> 02:27:30,639
from that kind of old school Patriots where the for

2836
02:27:30,680 --> 02:27:34,000
the most part, they like to accumulate draft picks. He

2837
02:27:34,120 --> 02:27:36,799
has made some deals, especially of course the will Anderson

2838
02:27:36,840 --> 02:27:38,319
deal with it, where they wanted to get C. J.

2839
02:27:38,399 --> 02:27:41,000
Stroud in will Anderson and they gave up some premium

2840
02:27:41,120 --> 02:27:44,079
draft capital for that. But for the most part it's

2841
02:27:44,120 --> 02:27:47,479
been we want to hoard picks and we're gonna trust

2842
02:27:47,520 --> 02:27:51,120
the process and all that type of stuff. And it

2843
02:27:51,239 --> 02:27:55,600
just seems to me just in general, Nick Sio's not

2844
02:27:55,680 --> 02:27:59,879
wanted to quickly admit a mistake. They've built this offensive line,

2845
02:28:00,239 --> 02:28:03,559
they drafted ariante Ursery. They made a couple of those signings,

2846
02:28:03,639 --> 02:28:06,639
the Laken Tomlinson signing, the ed Ingram Sigling did admit

2847
02:28:06,680 --> 02:28:09,680
a stake, admit a mistake getting rid of Cam Robinson,

2848
02:28:11,079 --> 02:28:14,840
saying we got too many guys, or maybe that's saying, ah, well,

2849
02:28:14,879 --> 02:28:17,799
we didn't need him anyways, because Orianti Ursery is so good,

2850
02:28:18,319 --> 02:28:23,280
which he's been mid as a second round rookie. So yes,

2851
02:28:23,799 --> 02:28:26,959
not a lot of precedent for Nick Cassario making a

2852
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:31,079
bunch of moves at the deadline. Be nice to see something.

2853
02:28:31,879 --> 02:28:36,959
Got an hour and twenty minutes to go, Will the

2854
02:28:37,120 --> 02:28:43,079
Texans be making a move before now and the trade deadline?

2855
02:28:43,200 --> 02:28:46,159
I just keep refreshing Ian Rapaport and Adam Schefter at

2856
02:28:46,200 --> 02:28:49,000
this point and we'll see what happens. We got a

Speaker 1: I'd like to be lady and docamental break I don't

2885
02:30:08,680 --> 02:30:10,559
have to write the questions. See, I was trying to

2886
02:30:10,559 --> 02:30:13,159
help him, guys, but I did tell him myself, you know.

2887
02:30:13,200 --> 02:30:14,799
And I try to be open and honest in this

2888
02:30:14,959 --> 02:30:18,920
life of ours, Jonathan, okay, and sometimes too honest, But

2889
02:30:18,959 --> 02:30:22,799
then I say white lives help, you know. I just

2890
02:30:22,920 --> 02:30:26,200
I've been a bad liar since I was like a kid.

2891
02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:31,879
Like agree, Oh you cannot agree. I cannot agree. My

2892
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:34,559
mom and dad they knew exactly like you're lying ross, Like,

2893
02:30:34,559 --> 02:30:36,799
why are you even trying? I am very kind of

2894
02:30:36,879 --> 02:30:40,120
I have like an expressive face, and I'm just a

2895
02:30:40,280 --> 02:30:42,719
bad I just a bad liar. So you know what,

2896
02:30:42,959 --> 02:30:47,920
the true shall set you free. That's my philosophy. That's

2897
02:30:47,959 --> 02:30:50,479
what I go with. Anyways, you prize horse calling in

2898
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:53,840
no Believe it or not today because Matt Thomas is

2899
02:30:54,000 --> 02:30:56,639
out for the final hour. He is traveling with the

2900
02:30:56,719 --> 02:31:00,639
Houston Rockets. They won last night against the Dallas Mavericks,

2901
02:31:01,280 --> 02:31:06,799
and your Houston Rockets number two in net rating. I

2902
02:31:06,879 --> 02:31:08,959
try to explain. I think it's very simple. I know

2903
02:31:09,120 --> 02:31:11,360
sometimes you know the metrics goal over everybody's head, but

2904
02:31:11,399 --> 02:31:13,959
net rating is very easy. Points per possession, offense minus

2905
02:31:14,040 --> 02:31:17,280
defense net rating. That means who's the best in basketball?

2906
02:31:17,319 --> 02:31:20,600
Oklahoma City, thundered by that metric, are number one, They're

2907
02:31:20,680 --> 02:31:24,520
seven and freaking Oh the Houston Rockets, who almost beat

2908
02:31:24,520 --> 02:31:26,840
the Thunder on opening nine. You were there. You can

2909
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:28,879
argue could have should have would have won that game.

2910
02:31:29,040 --> 02:31:31,239
Tar Easton would have shut up and reseparate games, throw

2911
02:31:31,280 --> 02:31:35,000
every possession away. Wow, you said it, not me, Jonathan,

2912
02:31:35,319 --> 02:31:38,479
appreciate you. Yes, And by the way, there are some

2913
02:31:38,559 --> 02:31:40,760
folks unhappy with Reed, sheperd. We can talk about that

2914
02:31:40,879 --> 02:31:45,120
in a second. But the Rockets number two in net rating.

2915
02:31:46,079 --> 02:31:48,159
Problem is the top four teams are all the freaking

2916
02:31:48,239 --> 02:31:53,000
Western Conference. The West is so tough. Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets,

2917
02:31:53,120 --> 02:31:55,680
and Spurs. Your top four teams in net rating. Of course,

2918
02:31:56,079 --> 02:31:59,559
we shall say short sample size, only six games played

2919
02:31:59,600 --> 02:32:01,879
for the Rocket, It's only seven for the Oklahoma City Thunder,

2920
02:32:02,159 --> 02:32:04,159
so that will all shake out, and quite frankly, I

2921
02:32:04,159 --> 02:32:06,399
think the Rockets offense can get even better. The three

2922
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:08,840
point shooting is gonna cool somewhat from how hot it

2923
02:32:08,879 --> 02:32:11,920
has been started the season. But hey, Kevin Durant was

2924
02:32:11,959 --> 02:32:14,000
two for eight last night, and how many of those

2925
02:32:14,079 --> 02:32:16,479
looks were open for him? I would say the two

2926
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:19,000
that he made were like the toughest ones. He's like,

2927
02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:20,879
all right, I'm taking this game over. I'm gonna hit

2928
02:32:20,920 --> 02:32:22,399
threes at the top of the key, and that's just

2929
02:32:22,479 --> 02:32:24,040
how it's gonna go, which is why they got him

2930
02:32:24,479 --> 02:32:26,680
eat somebody like that. It was awesome. I'm gonna tell you.

2931
02:32:26,719 --> 02:32:29,120
I was sitting there at the Toyota Center doing pre

2932
02:32:29,239 --> 02:32:34,440
and postgame show, uh, and I was like, dude, this

2933
02:32:34,760 --> 02:32:37,399
is awesome to watch in person. I know, folks, it's

2934
02:32:38,120 --> 02:32:41,840
this is a city that we are. And I don't

2935
02:32:41,840 --> 02:32:44,440
even want to say bandwagon or frontwork because that has

2936
02:32:44,559 --> 02:32:48,040
more of a negative connotation, because I get it, Like you,

2937
02:32:48,200 --> 02:32:51,639
you have to say what people get mad when they're fans.

2938
02:32:51,760 --> 02:32:54,239
And when the Astros got all good and everybody hopped

2939
02:32:54,280 --> 02:32:57,760
on the bandwagon and they became at Stros fan for

2940
02:32:57,920 --> 02:33:01,440
life on Twitter and their account was created in November

2941
02:33:01,520 --> 02:33:05,000
of twenty seventeen. Like I get it, people like, hey,

2942
02:33:05,120 --> 02:33:07,159
I stood all this time with this team and you

2943
02:33:07,319 --> 02:33:09,879
come show up when they're winning. But doesn't that kind

2944
02:33:09,920 --> 02:33:12,879
of make sense. Doesn't that makes sense to only spend

2945
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:16,600
your money and your time and bring your family down

2946
02:33:16,639 --> 02:33:18,399
to the game even when they're losing. You can have

2947
02:33:18,440 --> 02:33:20,319
a good time. It's a better time when the team

2948
02:33:20,399 --> 02:33:22,840
is good. Especially in Houston when you got to go

2949
02:33:22,959 --> 02:33:25,600
through sixteen, go go to fifty nine. All this traff

2950
02:33:25,639 --> 02:33:28,840
making downtown traffic and we're spread out city because you

2951
02:33:28,920 --> 02:33:31,799
have people all the way west and Katie and Sinco

2952
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:34,479
Ranch and fullsher or whatever people all the way north,

2953
02:33:34,520 --> 02:33:37,559
and spring Woodlands people all the way southwest, and you

2954
02:33:37,600 --> 02:33:39,680
know you can go everywhere every corner in Pairland and

2955
02:33:39,719 --> 02:33:41,520
sugar Land and Baitdown. Don't want to leave everybody out,

2956
02:33:41,920 --> 02:33:44,680
you know what I'm saying, Like it's tough, and this

2957
02:33:44,799 --> 02:33:48,840
traffic is hillatious, and getting downtown to the Arena Toyota Center,

2958
02:33:48,920 --> 02:33:51,239
getting downtown to the stadium and at minute made and

2959
02:33:51,360 --> 02:33:53,600
parking and figuring it out, and then it's gonna be

2960
02:33:53,639 --> 02:33:55,879
another hour commute for you to get home once you

2961
02:33:55,959 --> 02:33:59,600
get through all that traffic. Traffic, it's difficult. So I

2962
02:34:00,159 --> 02:34:04,000
get it. I really I when I say we're a

2963
02:34:04,079 --> 02:34:07,040
front running town, I really don't mean that to be

2964
02:34:07,120 --> 02:34:09,920
as negative as it sounds like. I get it. But

2965
02:34:10,120 --> 02:34:14,799
this Rocket team is fun to watch. Man Kevin freaking Durant,

2966
02:34:15,520 --> 02:34:19,200
he is one of the twelve at the worst fifteen

2967
02:34:20,120 --> 02:34:23,079
best players to ever walk the planet as far as

2968
02:34:23,120 --> 02:34:25,520
a basketball player, and he is on your team right now,

2969
02:34:26,159 --> 02:34:28,440
and he's fun to watch. And Alpi sching Gun and

2970
02:34:28,520 --> 02:34:31,920
Men Thompson and this Rocket squad who's number one in

2971
02:34:32,079 --> 02:34:35,600
offensive rating in basketball right now, they're going to get

2972
02:34:35,920 --> 02:34:40,799
even better offensively. They're gonna get more cohesive, they're gonna

2973
02:34:40,840 --> 02:34:44,680
get better chemistry, and I think the turnovers are gonna

2974
02:34:44,680 --> 02:34:48,280
be limited ball handling turnovers. I don't know how much

2975
02:34:48,319 --> 02:34:50,600
those are gonna get better just because you got a

2976
02:34:50,639 --> 02:34:54,000
bunch of tall guys who aren't great ball handlers, who

2977
02:34:54,040 --> 02:34:56,399
aren't elite ball handlers, like Alpi sing Gun for a

2978
02:34:56,440 --> 02:34:59,000
seven footer center. He's a good ball handler, but he's

2979
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:02,719
not elite. Same thing for Kevin Durant, Men Thompson, Tar Easan.

2980
02:35:02,799 --> 02:35:04,959
Like these guys, how often do you see them just

2981
02:35:05,079 --> 02:35:06,959
kind of just dribbling the lane, ball goes off their

2982
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:11,600
foot or gets ripped. I mean, it just happens. So Rockets, though,

2983
02:35:12,040 --> 02:35:14,840
gonna be real fun to watch. Next in action Wednesday,

2984
02:35:15,280 --> 02:35:17,799
seven o'clock. Tip here on Sports Talk seven ninety. It'll

2985
02:35:17,799 --> 02:35:20,479
be a six o'clock a launch pad with yours truly,

2986
02:35:20,479 --> 02:35:22,440
all right, John and Perlin has gotten real quick, only

2987
02:35:22,440 --> 02:35:23,799
a couple of minutes left in the show, so let's

2988
02:35:23,799 --> 02:35:25,360
get him real fast. What's up, John?

2989
02:35:27,440 --> 02:35:27,879
Speaker 2: Oh much?

2990
02:35:28,040 --> 02:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Man?

2991
02:35:28,639 --> 02:35:31,799
Speaker 18: Just uh bumping me out seeing all this stuff going

2992
02:35:31,840 --> 02:35:33,559
on over the NFL trade.

2993
02:35:33,639 --> 02:35:35,239
Speaker 1: Now you get deadline ivy, don't you?

2994
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2995
02:35:38,079 --> 02:35:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh great?

2996
02:35:39,239 --> 02:35:44,120
Speaker 18: Uh Texan's not going to do anything, of course, Uh

2997
02:35:44,239 --> 02:35:52,079
yeah sorry, said Nick Atrio. Is just so arrogant and sorry,

2998
02:35:52,159 --> 02:35:54,200
but he's a prick and he's not gonna do anything

2999
02:35:54,239 --> 02:35:57,040
because he actually thinks our offensive line is good and

3000
02:35:57,120 --> 02:36:00,920
they just need to execute a little better and keep situations.

3001
02:36:01,040 --> 02:36:04,680
But honestly, they're horrible and he has a terrible job

3002
02:36:04,719 --> 02:36:07,200
building it, and he's not gonna trade for any boosting

3003
02:36:07,319 --> 02:36:09,079
the offensive line or in the run game.

3004
02:36:10,479 --> 02:36:13,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll all right, thanks a lot, John, Look, I

3005
02:36:13,639 --> 02:36:17,319
hope you're wrong. I know we're running short on time.

3006
02:36:17,719 --> 02:36:20,600
It is now just an hour and seven minutes left

3007
02:36:20,760 --> 02:36:23,000
the trade deadline. Keep it tuned here on Sports Talk

3008
02:36:23,040 --> 02:36:25,559
seven to ninety because when news breaks, you want to

3009
02:36:25,600 --> 02:36:28,639
hear the great wonderful analysis you're gonna hear from Adam

3010
02:36:28,680 --> 02:36:30,319
and Adam comeing up with the A team starting here

3011
02:36:30,319 --> 02:36:34,040
at two o'clock in just a couple of minutes. I'm

3012
02:36:34,079 --> 02:36:36,719
gonna hold out hope that something happens because I'm with John,

3013
02:36:36,840 --> 02:36:39,879
like I'm just I'm getting like trade envy. Everybody else

3014
02:36:39,959 --> 02:36:42,360
is making all these cool trades, and this feels like

3015
02:36:42,399 --> 02:36:45,360
this happens with the Houston Texans always, and there's been

3016
02:36:45,479 --> 02:36:48,520
more and more and more deadline deals. Maybe he's not

3017
02:36:48,719 --> 02:36:51,719
feeling the heat. Maybe he's feeling very secure in his job.

3018
02:36:52,239 --> 02:36:56,319
Maybe there is a thin line between urgency and desperation,

3019
02:36:57,559 --> 02:36:59,479
and he doesn't need to be I don't think he

3020
02:36:59,559 --> 02:37:01,559
needs to be desperate, but I think he needs to

3021
02:37:01,600 --> 02:37:05,159
be urgent. I think especially when you when you've added

3022
02:37:05,239 --> 02:37:06,840
the fact that it's not only that the team can

3023
02:37:06,879 --> 02:37:10,559
get better internally, it's that your divisional opponents are getting better,

3024
02:37:10,879 --> 02:37:12,879
the teams that you are trying to beat. The team.

3025
02:37:12,920 --> 02:37:16,000
You have two games against the Indianapolis Colts and they

3026
02:37:16,040 --> 02:37:18,600
are improving. You have the do You have the Jaguars

3027
02:37:18,719 --> 02:37:22,479
in town this week and they got better with Jacobe Myers.

3028
02:37:23,639 --> 02:37:26,239
Don't know what kind of impact he's gonna have with

3029
02:37:26,399 --> 02:37:29,600
only a couple of days practice and going out there

3030
02:37:29,799 --> 02:37:33,120
and getting a feel for the offense. But you're battling

3031
02:37:33,159 --> 02:37:35,600
it out with them, not only for the division, which

3032
02:37:35,639 --> 02:37:38,239
you're probably lost already to the Colts, but for an

3033
02:37:38,239 --> 02:37:45,280
AFC wildcard. So yeah, I would like to see something

3034
02:37:45,399 --> 02:37:49,040
happen here because this is a not complete team. You

3035
02:37:49,120 --> 02:37:51,799
can't if you say we're gonna dance with who brung ya, well, yeah,

3036
02:37:51,799 --> 02:37:54,280
you're gonna end up seven and nine. Then if you're

3037
02:37:54,360 --> 02:37:57,319
dancing with this is who who who got brought right

3038
02:37:57,399 --> 02:38:02,000
now on this roster, so they need to improve. This

3039
02:38:02,239 --> 02:38:04,760
is not you are not anywhere close to the Colts.

3040
02:38:05,639 --> 02:38:07,760
You're not anywhere close to the Bills or the Chiefs.

3041
02:38:08,079 --> 02:38:10,440
In my opinion, you're close to the Broncos who were

3042
02:38:10,440 --> 02:38:12,920
seven and two. We saw that this last week, so

3043
02:38:13,040 --> 02:38:16,360
I understand. But then we're talking about the Steelers. Are

3044
02:38:16,399 --> 02:38:21,159
the Ravens gonna come back with with Lamar Jackson? What

3045
02:38:21,280 --> 02:38:24,440
about the New England Patriots? How legit are they? They've

3046
02:38:24,520 --> 02:38:27,639
won six games in a row now, it's been a

3047
02:38:27,959 --> 02:38:33,760
fairly soft schedule as of late. Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons

3048
02:38:34,479 --> 02:38:37,920
weren't great for the but they beat the Bills. They

3049
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:42,440
beat the Panthers who were five and four. So yeah,

3050
02:38:43,479 --> 02:38:47,520
not only improving internally, but keeping up with those other

3051
02:38:47,600 --> 02:38:51,040
teams in the AFC who are improving as well. That's

3052
02:38:51,079 --> 02:38:53,200
why I would like to see a trade in the

3053
02:38:53,280 --> 02:38:56,799
next hour from Nick Cassario and the Houston Texans. You

3054
02:38:56,799 --> 02:38:58,719
want to continue talking about it, you can do it

3055
02:38:59,200 --> 02:39:01,639
with Adam and Adam they are coming up next. That's

3056
02:39:01,680 --> 02:39:03,479
gonna do it. For the Matt Thomas Show with Ross

3057
