Speaker 1: This is the Mat Thomas Show with Ross ten oh
two in h Town.
Speaker 2: Good voting and welcome to a Friday EDITIONE to the
Matt Thomas Show at Ross. This is Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't want to wiggle it all of it. Wiggler
Thomas's they call no baby. We got some serious smack
talk in the world these college football street sports v
what's going on? Can can take an umah fans get along.
Come on, guys, it is just getting worse. And again
I don't particularly care. H'm again I'm all for it,
but some of my cougar brethren and are not all
for it. So let me guess each is calling each
other like they have too high of acceptance rates when
I think both their acceptance trades are pretty close. Each
is calling themselves a bad academic institution. Each is selling
each other they they don't have much of a football
history and they have a lot of failure. That's not accurate.
Let's see, each is telling each other they're not desirable colleges.
You have ages pointing the finger and saying it's all
about nil and you just got oil money or what
is Cody's Campbell's business? Oil and gas money, and they're
still not accomplishing anything. Houston people are calling Lubboca dirt hole,
and Lubbica's side is saying Cougar high. What else? I'm playing?
All the hits you pretty much nailed? Said Willie Fritz
is going to the game in a wheelchair. All right,
I'm going to tell you the latest round of this
is from someone that got one hundred and seventy eight
thousand impressions. Wow, one thousand and five hundred likes. That's
a good number. Three hundred and eighty retweets, eighty four comments. Okay,
this person represents Texas Tech University and is at its
perhaps highest level. The athletic director. Oh really, what did
he say twelve hours ago? Sports RV. By the way,
I have no idea who the Texas Tech athletics. Oh
that's the same. Sounds familiar. He's been around, Okay for
quite a while. He was there when cameras going to school. Okay,
all right, Red Raider Nation, it's official. We have declared
Saturday Night's game in Houston are eighth home game this season.
Houston is West Texas hashtag reckham, hashtag fifteen to one
and home sellout streak why Center with a photo of
the University of Houston being ten one there it is
right there? Oh man, what to one mean? I who knows?
Is that like they're some kind of rallying cry. I
don't know. Uh, I mean, I guess you could look
it up, but damn ross, I mean that is that's intense.
So when you're eight these getting involved baby home sellout streak,
that's I guess you're not really gonna be able to
truly tell because of the red. Now, even though it's
eah Town Blue, right, there's gonna be people that are
gonna be going to the game that are gonna being red.
They're gonna be oblivious or just not care, right right,
I mean again, it's I mean, part of selling the
blue is to sell a few more shirts, which is
I'm okay with. That's fine. Like A and M this
weekend is having a blackout at their game. Yes, And
because my son is a good aggie, he went to
bally Bows and got himself, him and his grandfather a
couple of black and shirts. So well, the it's cute
to have certain colors, the things, there's always a h
you know, intangible if you will not to sell some merchae. Yeah,
we're gonna need the honest, unbiased report from you, Matt
about the the roaring in the crowd, the game you
have a is there a window open where you watch it.
Speaker 3: Open?
Speaker 2: Okay, so I I will tell you and again to me,
And I think I'm in a clear minority on this.
I want the full stadium no matter what. Now, if look,
TEXTA Tech doesn't get a lot of games in this
part of the country. There's a huge alumni base, including
my son. So he gets to go see his team
play at home. He's gonna go, yes, and he's going
to root for the Red Raiders, And I'm okay with that. Again,
we love I love the oldest one. He's a great kid.
But his team must lose. I don't know that they're
going to eleven and a half point. Dog says otherwise,
but favorite, I should say, but y, this doesn't mean anything, Matt.
It doesn't mean anything. Strong mean anything when we celebrate
on the game on paper. Yeah, Oh, they don't play
the game in Vegas. They think about it. The game
is played on grass, Matt. Yeah, well not there, it's turf.
But that's a different issue for don't have turf. You
don't have grass either, man, shame shame on you. And
I said the same thing about Texas, So don't get
mad at me. Texas should have turf. I mean, I'm sorry, grass.
They should have natural grass in an open air stadium.
I understand the costs are higher, but it's better for
the players, and it's it's just better for football. It's
only a cost cutting measure of the reason they do it.
You it should have grass, and Texas certainly, I mean, look,
that's a small rinking program, so I get it, but
Texas should have grass. Oh I'm sorry, you know what.
That was just the jab that you need to open
up the show with that. I put you on the
clock at eight minutes past nine minutes past ten o'clock
for your first shot at than usual and oh usually
I get you not knocked out between ten oh one
and ten oh three, really held off, really held off. Hey,
everybody into anything goes Friday to day on the radio program,
and that means you can literally talk about anything. We
give you now, we gave our is his name William
earlier this week or yes, he also was called went
by Bill. Okay, we give what we've give pretty decent
sized leashes to the show. I mean other shows won't
even take callers, so they don't love you like we do.
We like to talk to you. Yes, it's part of
our The essence of this radio program is too anything
goes Friday and hopefully our phone lines work and they've
been pretty good. Yeah, it's been. It's about a seven
and a half out of ten. I mean, we're in Houston,
should be a ten all the time. But you know,
we can't trust for everything. Well, I mean our board
has been fried twice this week, but that's not here
nor there either within a fifteen minute period. Yeah, it's
not been great. Poor Jonathan on a record aging terribly.
Now we can't see him because of the cameras. The
camera froze up, so we can't see that recent something
off that. Well, i'm gonna start unning. I'm gonna rrie
now everything ten minutes ago. I'm gonna start Monday for
a full week of how many how many technical issues
we have and it's not our fault and we don't
hopefully doesn't affect our programming. We should stop bitching about it.
But it's just, you know, we wish we had excellent
working equipment we have fair that's all right. We're gonna
power through. Yeah, we're gonna power through.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: Anything goes Friday can be about Texas Tech Houston smack. Yes,
Texas versus Florida.
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not? Is this an opportunity for Arch to get
back in not necessarily good graces, but to get in
the Okay, we know why he was so highly recruited,
we know why he was so cool. Many people are
calling me stupid on social media for what would you
do that? Okay, save that because I I that should
be a full segment. I think I know what it is.
It was about your little post yesterday. Yes, some people
are very upset with me. Okay, so we'll save that
for segment number two of the show. Nestor Apparicio is
going to join us from w NST Radio coming up
at eleven o'clock. Okay, he is, I mean, mister Baltimore
Sports nasty. Nestor is what is wikipedias? And we need
him to explain that to us. And he's been barred
from both the Ravens and the Orioles games covering them.
So I don't know if it's because he says the
way it is, And sometimes those teams don't like to
hear what they like to say. I mean maybe they
called him stealing media food. Ummmm, that does happen. Yeah,
there's one person and I won't say their name, Beau,
I don't want embarrass him too badly. And this person
doesn't cover the astros anymore for some odd reason. But
he would wait till the media dining would be the
guy that would take the money was gone, and then
he'd go in there and get his food. Is the
name Ryan with rat ramis?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I pay all the time. I got the receipts, literally,
I got receipts on that. So we got that coming
up today eleven thirty, we got up, I'm sorry's twelve o'clock.
We've got the Stripper wake up call today, doctor rhtals
at one o'clock. Oh what a show. And then we've
got one thirty nine Florida stories and hell yeah not
at one fifty. Can we deal with things about Schlittler. No,
he's a rookie, twenty four, he's got to be some
part of this. Yeah, sure, he looks playing video games.
Believe it is that what you assume every twenty four
year alexplay video games. I mean yeah, I mean I'm forty.
I like playing video that's actually I forgot about that. Yeah, okay,
so hmmm, we'll figure it out. The Yankees looked great yesterday,
Slitler looked amazing. Watch your language? Yeah, uh did you
watch the end of the Padres Cubs game yesterday? Oh
you're talking about our the our umpire friends. Oh my god,
was in a horrific call. That's fine, We're just we're
just gonna decide playoff games with bad calls. It's all
human element tradition. Let's go which that would have been
a walk, which would have eventually had the basis loaded,
which had a sacrifice fly that would have tied the game.
Speaker 5: Game.
Speaker 2: I think it was a two run deficits okay, three
to one, but it would have been you had had
you got a man on base. I don't know what
the exact win probability is, but it goes up at
least five six percent. That's significant, especially in a baseball game.
It was I almost I almost thought about calling you
because I was like, this is right up your on this.
It was, I mean not even like again the box
does the umpires no favors right, it is a measuring stick.
And by the way, umpire Twitter defender is out there
that says the box is corrupt, and I could see
the box being a little of a far less of
exact science. But my god, was the call bad? It was?
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 2: It was way off on Major League Baseball's game Day,
which I think is the like the real tracking the year.
But somebody posted a Baseball Savant screenshot and it was
on the edge, So I don't know. I don't know.
I I thought when the entire broadcast crew said it
wasn't a strike and they're right there, Yeah, I thought
it was a pretty bad mess. I really really thought
it was a bad miss. We'll get to that. Who
are we rooting for? Are we Singo Mariners?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: That fod hell We're Sango, Tigers, Yankees, blue Jays. Is
gonna be a very interesting series. Cubs Brewers are gonna
be good. I mean, I'm gonna watch. And then last
night the Niners versus the Rams, look ad game? Do
the Niners have a quarterback geast? You already like a
quarterback controversy? Yeah? Party is the guy? Okay, but Mac
Jones is good. Yesterday I'm just telling me he's still
mac Jones. It's true. They played. They paid party like
tw hundred and sixty minutes, paying him Mac Jones a
lot of money too, Yeah, but a lot of money
spent up in quarterbacks. And I have to convince you
between now and two o'clock today, and I'm not going
to do it because you are mister litteral Oh, i'd
a must win game. Four eye Ladies and gentlemen must
convince Ross that Sunday's Texans game at Baltimore is a
must win, not for the future of the franchise, but
just for the future of mental health. Because if you
can't go to Baltimore, and I said this yesterday, I'll
I'm gonna say for the next four hours today, if
you can't go to Baltimore with all their injuries, I'm
talking about Humphrey is out I'm talking about Lamar Jackson
out way. I mean their defensive their secondary is a mess.
There no defensive defensive line is a hot mess. If
you can't go and beat them, you're never gonna beat them. Ever,
this Ross is a must win for the Texans. I
say so because one of two things. One, I'm a
Texans insider. Okay, and two I'm mister Texas ten sixty.
Neither of those things. Seven, I am definitely an insider.
I've been telling you about Joe Mixon forever. Seven uh,
probably not this year, and you're welcome on that. Okay,
lets say the silence is speaking volumes here. He's not
even around you noticed. I mean he's not eating lunch
with anybody. I mean he's nowhere to be found. He's
not eating. I think he's eating, well him, he's not
eating in the seven one three, he's not trapped in
a dungeon. I mean putting the lotion in its skin?
What was you when watching that? Is a very popular movie,
and I will tell you a tweet at Sports MT
what movie that was? Say that one more time went
against it puts the lotion on its skin or else
it gets the hose again. All right, that's not I
don't know that one. Saint Johnathan can do the same
thing to me that I do to him. Yeah, you
know what I'm gona starting to do with that? Yeah,
see how far it goes? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This one time I was an FBI agent and I
was investigating this serial killer and I needed to use
the help of a of a different serial killer who
was a genius. Yeah, and he scared me a lot,
but I used all of his help. And then eventually
we caught the guy who was a serial killer. His
name was Buffalo Bob and he had a little puppy
and he liked to tuck and we'll just leave that
at that. And then he kept people in a well,
would you like to invite all of them to be
City Wings for lunch today? Thank you to one of
our listeners, Big Texas tech fan uh Chasby Bought says,
fifteen to one ratio is the big twelve vote to
band throwing tortillas. Oh, they're embracing their love of throwing tortillas.
You know what you do here, here's my simple thought
on the tortilla thing. Or first of all, I think
it's stupid and I love text tech. You guys know
that if they want to keep doing it's fine. Just
give them a fifteen yard penalty delay game, a sportsman
like kind of get it out of the way. Okay,
you want to you want to live to the field
and delay the game, Let's get you fifteen penalty called good.
I thought it was their chlamydia ratio. Wow, ugh, like
that one off? A pitocilla shortage up there? You cut
man up there, isn't it it?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 2: That is so funny? What they get out voted no
fifteen to one, uh, to get rid of tortillas and
then they make it a rallying cry. So what happens
if so? I'm totally lost on all this. I guess
so they've threw tortillas for years and now they can't
do it, or there's some kind of penalty, you're fine
from the league. I really haven't gotten. Can we get
a Red Raider. We need Red Raider breakdown on this?
What exactly is it? Because y'all still do it and
I don't know if you get penalized or not. But
you know, so if you are a Red Raider fan
and can give us the definitive what's going on with
the damn tortillas? Let us know. Now the question is
do you you just go to the store get the
generic cheap ones out of the you know, you go
to you know, reesting get the cheap ones, right? Uh huh? Yeah,
you're throwing like yeah, you're you're you're throwing Kroger brand
ones like in Bussinus bear does her tortillas. Nobody likes
business beards. Does she even make?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: She makes them? Okay, not good. Yeah, you're not making
You're not throwing up the rachery red butter.
Speaker 7: No, you're not.
Speaker 2: You're knocking those out quickly. I'm kind of looking. Yeah,
what a my I had a breakfast Talcot this morning.
As a matter of fact, thanks for rubbing it in, Matt.
I come in here. Matt's like, Hey, a couple of
tacos in there. Go get you some. I just saw
them and then they're all gone. Matt got my hopes
all up, very rude. That's fine. Seven one three two
one two five?
Speaker 3: What oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, apparently somebody's gonna tell us so that we
gotta Yeah, I just don't know exactly what the Yeah,
we'll figure out. So if you're if you know the
definitive rule about if you get penalized, if you get
fine again. I don't want the game to late. If
you're gonna throw the ttoes, throw them at each other. Okay,
don't throw them on the field. I don't want to.
Didn't They have to sneak them in into uh dark,
dark dank places to get them in the stadium in
the first place. If you are a story, you've put
them in your crotch. Let us know, Wait a minute.
In nineteen eighty nine they were throwing to soda lids,
and then lids were banned, So basically Texas take a
bunch of hoodlums and then nineteen that's actually true. Like
I said, I heard horror stories. I wouldn't never as
go to a game in Lubbock in Longhorn gear because
I heard so many horror stories. When I was on campus,
they would throw stuff at the band. I knew several
band members who would get real thrown at them, and
they'd say they would say it was the worst place
to go as a visiting band. Was a love I
don't know what it is now because obviously they're in
the SEC. MAC and Monday Matthew. They were in the
Big twelve when MC Grandpappy is Grandpappy. Torrian Henderson was
a nice scat back for Texas Tech and Rodney Blacksheet
took one to the house exactly, So I don't know
what's the worse now, but it used to be the
back of my day. They would say, yeah, great quarterback
back in the day. Well, Robert Hall, I can go.
I give you some text tech QBS Tory. I was scared,
Torrian Henderson, he was good. Yeah, I let's talk to
guild on anything goes. Friday at ten twenty eight, Gill,
thank you for holding it. Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 3: So you're talking about the Empires doing horrible jobs. Is
it true that going to change it to the machine
next year.
Speaker 2: They're gonna have be an ABS challenge system. Yeah, and
they'll have a challenge system. It's not gonna be full
full blown. It will be challenged. You get Each team
gets two challenges and as long as you get them right,
you keep them.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the umpire is still gonna be behind the plate.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct that the umpire will never go
even if they go full machine, the umpire will still
be back there. Somebody's got to get the pitcher ball,
so he's gonna dust off the plates. Somebody's gotta call
out save at home. They're never going to yeah to
to robot ups.
Speaker 4: All right, because I've been hearing stories about the umpires
are so pissed off.
Speaker 3: They're doing calls on purpose back because they know they're
losing their jobs.
Speaker 2: But no, no, nobody. That's what. That's the thing. You
can get eliminated with all that, you can get rid
of all that. There are people literally tweeting like, oh,
this is match fixing. Oh they're they're throwing the game.
This umpire is met. Somebody was saying that the umpire
was met with a Bogart's the umpire's mad at Boguarts
because he showed them up the pitch. Before you take
away all that, all this questioning of the integrity of
the game, it wouldn't be no fun.
Speaker 5: Thoughes.
Speaker 2: No, I want on getting twenty six thousand incorrect calls. Correct. Yeah,
I mean, Gail, I want the guy.
Speaker 3: But I want the coach. We don't have one of those.
Speaker 5: We won't want the coach got there and like Danella
and all the old coaches got there long.
Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Boone's carrying the torch right now. I
guess is he got He's the guy who gets ejected
the most. It feels like Lupannello is eating food out
of a blunder these days. So you know, thanks you
for the phone call. Not that I'm against that, but yeah,
that happens, like I don't know five times a year.
You don't even do get the calls right for one
hundred and sixty two. I'm sorry. You know I'm passionate
about this. Yeah, you're also good. Yeah, we we got
to get to your abuse. What you're still getting. I
see getting called it four years chat is not I'm
getting cool clown emojis. Oh my god, I know you're
loving this. I'm not hating it. We'll get to why
Ross is being annihilated on the social media street. So
we'll talk to Savage, who says, uh, fifty thousand dollars
fine for see you Buff's Big twelve. It is official.
The Red Raiders Cougar's game is sold out. So if
it was secondary market, and I believe Johnathan, we're done
with our tickets, right, we give all of ours away.
Yeah okay, so come on, come only be loud. Wear
blue if you can. If eachtown blue, eachtown blue, I'll
be wearing Chetown blue tomorrow, so you see, say, what's
up kind of wearing htown blue now that it's Kingwood blue.
We got a big We got a big, big revenge
matchup with Goose Creek Memorial tonight six thirty over there,
Goose Creek can't wait. I didn't even know there was
such a thing as Goose Creek until my daughter was
schools in their district playing volleyball. Do you know what
it is? Uh, it's east somewhere. Oh you mean you
had a twenty five percent chance, So it's good. Thank you?
Close to Baytown? Yeah? East, you got it right, all right?
I could have said northeast, you could have, yeah, but
I didn't. All right. So Savage is going about to
talk to us, about to see you.
Speaker 3: Fine.
Speaker 2: For those of his name is Savage. I mean, I
can't even believe that missed that Savage, like Michael Savage. Well,
I mean, I wonder if it's his last name or
did his mother say, you know, I'm looking at this
beautiful baby boy, eight pound six ounces. You gonna be
a savage in line, most are calling you Savage. The
first show I have, one of the first shows I
ever worked here in radio, was the Michael Savage Show.
Speaker 3: How was that?
Speaker 2: I was like, man, this guy really hates Obama.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The University of Colorado find fifty thousand dollars by the
Big twelve this week because of the fans at Colorado
were screaming anti hurtful and discriminatory language in regards to
their religion. So that's the reason why they were fined
fifty thousand dollars. Stay out of religion, ethnicity, sexual wility,
just stay out all it just smack talk. You can
do plenty of normal smack talk. The toy is okay,
Well it's a serious affliction, map h. I'm sure it is,
but antibiotics usually take care of us. Lene loveock.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: It's well, the the eighties smack talk was good. Home again.
It's what what's your guy doing? You is cook it up?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I gotta find twenty four hours to respond. When's the
game smart at six o'clock? Okay, so there's got a
little more than that. Yeah, yeah, but he should You know,
you gotta let the tweet breathe, Matt, you gotta get
it out in the morning. Well, you just we have
receipts because if the Cougars win, what if they don't,
I'll be reposting it. Well, I am, actually I'm getting
increasingly curious to see or hear about what the split
is as far as the crowd. Yeah, I mean, it
is what it is. I mean, and I'm gonna bark
back on my own text. Can't buy tickets if they're
not available, that is correct. So it is what it is. Mhm.
So you know that's that's really you know, if you
if you don't want the other people coming in again,
I want a full building. That's what I dreamt of
when like when Batter you know Batler is not coming
here this year. We go to Baylor, but point paying
us a better wants fill the building up, let's go.
If you can't sell it yourself, get others come in
and help. You just want the revenues. I don't care
about the rev I just want I want a great
college atmosphere and two foreign oh teams playing. It's good. Yeah,
two four and OH teams playing. Frankly need more quality
wins and a regional rival coming into town. You would
hope you of h would get up for this. Yeah, yeah,
we'll be up for it. Give me some text text
people up for it as well.
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 2: So Savage, is that your real name or is that
a nickname?
Speaker 9: No, that's my real name. I was born with that name.
Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool. That is awesome. So your what
is your last name? Like Smith or Jones or something,
do you live off the land and you're calling us
from a satellite phone?
Speaker 9: Last name is Savage?
Speaker 2: Oh, I see, I see, But you want to use
it because you do what you are? You the Okay,
I'm sorry. I was gonna go there, like, are you
related to Tom Texans legend? Are you related to Randy?
Actually that was his real name, but that's the different
You talk like that when you were a kid, your man?
All right, Savage, what do you got?
Speaker 9: Sorry, go ahead, Savage, you got to use it.
Speaker 2: Understand, he's only heard these references have five thousand times. Sorry,
go ahead.
Speaker 9: No, I'm hey, if they're throwing tortilla shells, I think
they're going to be throwing some f bombs from b Why.
Speaker 10: You comes to town?
Speaker 9: I just I hate to say it, but it's a
it's a Texas Tech thing.
Speaker 5: So what do you guys.
Speaker 2: Think about what?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 9: I think they're going to get fined.
Speaker 2: Also, who who is what Texas Tech is? You think
that Texas Tech fans when BYU goes there, are going
to say the same things that Carlo did. So you're
presuming you're presuming ugliness.
Speaker 9: Hey, it happened in Arizona State last year and Arizona's
full of Mormon. So you know, I'm just putting two
and two together.
Speaker 3: What do you guys think, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not well, I can't mean savage. I can't predict if
how a fan base is going to react. I mean,
I would assume that Kirby Holcutt would tell the student
body and anybody's fans to keep religion out of it.
There's again, I'll say this again. I love I'm back talk,
but religions of deeply personal thing to a lot of people,
and whether you agree with it or not, stay out
of it. That's all I'm saying. If you want to
make fun of the fact that Lubbocks in West Texas
or Flyover Country or that b what I mean. I mean, Franklin,
there's a lot more things you can talk about with BYU.
They do goofy stuff. I used to live there. I
know these things. I mean, they're all you know. They
are twenty eight years old. Along the offensive line, you
can't have caffeine, can't have caffeine or booze. I mean there,
women are attractive. There's also more plastic surgery in Utah
per capita than there's any other state in the country.
Not that that's a BYU thing, but that could just
be utah thing. The kids are soaking.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 2: You can go look that up. I'm not gonna say that.
I'm not you know what. I don't know what that is,
and I don't even want to know. It's just just
good urban dictionary. I'm good. Just stay out of the religion.
There's plenty of things you can make fun of. Allegedly
I should say, oh wait, I I know it. Okay, Okay, Yeah,
I'm gonna look at my phone because I think if
I get in trouble to an urban dictionary, hold on
ross kills some time. Yeah, folks, if you want to
yell at me, uh for my latest post, stand by
for that. Follow me at sports r V on Instagram.
My latest post is getting people very upset at me,
so we'll see what happens there. But uh, you know,
I wasn't trying to be hot take here controversial, don't
so I'm not explaining what it is yet, but if
you want to find out, you can find it at
sports RV on my Instagram. I would appreciate a follow.
I'm trying to build it up and get more followers.
What I was waiting for that. Wow, because the kids
can't correct. Well, they're not supposed to, not supposed to
to help them. They found a loop. I don't need
a third party.
Speaker 4: They pay them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need a third party for that. Yeah, they
pay them to do what to rock the boat? Y? Shush,
yes see, I'm not making this up. It's a real thing. Okay,
all right? What lord? You know this is an educational program.

me on Instagram, I would love that. I cannot guarantee
a follow back. You're not a man of the people. Now,
I'm not saying I'm just saying that. I just I
only have so much time. So I'm eight, I'm eighty
two people away from three thousand. What let's go. You're man,
You've been climbing. Yeah, I know you're so, you're the worst.
You weren't mentioning this at all until I started mentioning mine. Correct.
Now I'm pissed at Sports Empty. He will not follow you.
I will Sports are Now there's a chance I could
follow you back. You probably won't, Okay, if you're a
young lady with your bust out again, I will follow
some of you back. But it's but something time. If

sure at all. It means he hates you. I'm following
you back at Sports Empty, and you'll find out why
Ross is hated. Next here on the Matt Thomas Show
with Ross. All Right, we're gonna check in with love it.
We gotta love a correspondent gonna dial in here in
a minute. But I do want to get to something
that is outraged a small section of the world, the
social media streets, and that's Ross for some reason said hey,
let's go after people. So I'm gonna let you explain
what you did and the repercussions. Well, you know, man,
as I said, I've been trying to post more videos
on my social medias these days, and sometimes I struggle
to come up with ideas. And it was a topic
on the show, and it's something that came up organically,
and I didn't want to I don't want to do
hot take content for likes and views. I just want
to do stuff. I want to speak my truth. And
I talked about it on this show that I went
to the Texans game this weekend and against the Titans,
and there was a good ten to fifteen percent of
the crowd wearing Oilers gear and you had no idea
what side they were rooting for. And some people were
wearing like Oiler's gear with a Texans or a Titans
hat to try to make it a little bit easier.
But it was like, people, we can't be going to
this Texans game rooting for the Texans wearing Oilers gear.
It is time to let it go. We can remember
the oilers. I remember the oilers. I was a bit
of a different error than some. I don't remember Earl Campbell,
that was before my time, but I remember Lorenzo White
and Warren Moon and Ray Childress and Sean Jones. Those
were all the oilers when I was a kid, and
I loved the Oilers and people are talking about how
they bought you. I bonded with my father over it.
I remember my father. I love sports because of my father,
Shout out Pops and all that type of stuff. And
I can cherish in love and embrace all those memories
and still move on from the fact that that we
don't have to wear their gear to games that act
like they're still playing. The Oilers haven't played a game
in Houston since nineteen ninety six. It's twenty twenty five.
We got it at some point, move on as a city.
Amy Adams struck. If they would give the Colors back
and the Texans could wear Oiler stuff, I would be
on board with it. But Amy Adams Strunk clearly either
is carrying the torch or under instruction from her father
saying do not under any circumstance. Let the city of
Houston have their history back, have their logos back, and
their players. And now it's all up in Tennessee. Warren
Moon is up there handing cam Ward his number one jersey.
They don't want you, Houston, they don't love us, Houston.
So they've moved on and they're not coming back. So
I think we need to move on. Very passionate.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: But it's time for the people to speak. So let's
read the comments. Okay. First of all, a lot of
people agree with me. I would say it's somewhere around
a fifty to fifty split. And of course the fifty
there are against me are having tapioca putting for dinner.
Not everybody. That's rude. Wait a minute, my group and
a lot of people are accusing me of not being
from Houston or growing up in a Houston Oilers fan folks.
I was born at Park Plaza Hospital in nineteen eighty four.
It's shut down now was in the Houston Medical Center.
I was born in the Houston Medical Center in nineteen
eighty four. I grew up an Oilers fan. I have
lived here for thirty five of my forty one years.
That lived six years in Austin. I'm a Houstonian through
and through. I grew up rooting for the Oilers, Rockets
and Astros and the Arrows. Sure, why not shot this?
This is all respectful? No, you want to there's some
of it's not good. Yeah, I read the ones that
are ever ripping you.
Speaker 11: Bro.
Speaker 2: You have been in Houston for a long time. But
are you from here? If not, stay out of it.
I and several have gone to hate Warren Moon, who
was my hero for saying this and more. The team's
history and colors are ours. Amy Adams is a clown.
She's still selling merch in Katie.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 2: Let's see, this is a dumb take that. Thank you.
Umpire sense says this is stupid. Hm hmm. By the way,
Houston versus y'all says, not gonna lie, We not listening
to you. Ye that did you drop alke on that one?
Let me hit that one. That's a like, uh huh
does he even follow me? Doesn't follow me? Come on now,
oh does he follow me? I don't know follow sports mt.
I'll give him a little that on that one. There's
some people that are in like a here we got
a man, Yeah, not gonna lie, We're not listening to you.
I dropped like on that. Okay, Oh he does not
follow me, but that's okay, so how yeah? Uh yeah,
So this has been a it's a here's the thing
that makes me man, It's a fairly respectful conversation here.
M Let's see, somebody says you're not the boss of me.
Mm Jason Big j seventy one giving you a index finger. No,
all right, look I can speak to this. Yes, the
owners left when the Orders went to Tennessee, Nashville to
a Memphis first in the Nashville they died. I grieved,
but I've moved on. Now I've not moved on. I'm
I'm you know, I'm not remarried like I lost a
loved one. Yes, uh huh, I'm not going. I don't
think I can remember the scene. But also we're remembering
the great times. But it's like there was more failures
than great times. So that's another thing, as there are
with most sports team exactly like when when when a
team moves away. For example, when the Oakland Athletics move
away from Las Vegas, they won World Series, they were dominant,
four no championships. Oilers. That's another thing that I just
don't get. It's the Oilers never gave us. Okay, Earl
Campbell was awesome, bum Phillips was great. We're gonna kick
the door in. Well, they got kicked out twice twice
of the AFC Championship Game. They haven't been since nineteen
seventy nine. And then they they they were the victims
of the worst are a good best you want to
call it come back in football history in the playoffs
collapsing against the Bills. Then they followed it up with
losing the old Ash Joe Montana when there was Marcus Allen.
What was the wind Street thirteen games or twelve? Yeah,
they went like twelve and four that year they won
like twelve games in a row. And then Marcus, yeah,
with a with a knee replacement. Marcus Allen came in
and ran all over you.
Speaker 13: That was it.
Speaker 2: That's why when I lost my loved one, I lost
my girl. The orders. Oh there's so not with anybody else.
I don't have time for anymore that they were great.
They never went to a Super Bowl. And I appreciate
the nostolarship, but absolutely, but I moved. You know, seventy
nine was forty six years ago. Okay, stand by, we'll
get to all of you, will quickly before the top
of the hour. Will good morning.
Speaker 14: Guess Yes, I don't appreciate this Texas Tech slander.
Speaker 9: This is going to be a home game for the Red.
Speaker 15: Raiders, the worst fan base in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 5: They're soft, they don't.
Speaker 4: Show up to sporting events unless it's basketball, and.
Speaker 10: So what we throw tortillas in a few batteries, that's
part of the game.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 16: And you're gonna hear Raider power all the time.
Speaker 2: But throwing batteries not part of the game. Throwing throwing
batteries not part of the game. You know that, it's
not part of the game. It's criminal.
Speaker 17: Quipping quip ross, yeah, quipping shop assault, will it's like
committing assault.
Speaker 2: How about you quick committing a sault.
Speaker 9: I've never thrown a battery, but I'm just saying, I don't.
Speaker 2: You don't want you don't want to hear this, Let
me hear this. Go ahead, say I don't. I'm an
issue with people throwing batteries. They were passed. Oh oh my, god, god,
oh my. You are taking a massive l on a
major market radio show. I'm sorry. You just are major loss.
We'll see you will appreciate it. That that didn't help out.
I was with everything until he said it's okay to
throw batteries and players in the opposing band. Yeah, that's yeah.
Stop being soft Frost not wearing pads. Chri's ridiculous. Chris
and John, We'll get to you coming back in mere moments?
Is this who you want representing you Red Raiders now again?
Kirby Holt Cup put it out there another home game,
Spicy ROSSI it just is that's real spicy. Does he
know something? We don't know? What's that crowd gonna be? Like, Matthew,
I don't answer that. I'm gonna answering that question. We'll
go to Baltimore next on seven out of ten to
fifty eight Matt Thomas Show with Ross eleven O one
Sports Talk seven ninety. We will go to Baltimore in
mere moments. If everyone do it right now? Yeah, I
don't think that Baltimore Radio is doing a deep dive
on Colts breakdowns, do they? I don't know, like, oh
probably not. No won super Bowls? Yeah, damn yeh mm hmmm.
It's funny becausehen I went on Nestra's show there today.
He's pepper me with order stuff and I look, I'm
an orders five. You get people know that. But I
just that time is long time and girls, Duncan and
the boys. Mmm, I can give you, Uh, Mike Renfro,
I could go further back than that. I can't really
I need to be curly Culp, Kenny Houston, Kenny's little
before my time, but let's move on. Yes, George Blanda
and Georgia I'm not that old.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 2: Nestor Apparratio is one of the long time voices of
Baltimore's sports. When you want to get I mean the
know how know what what's going going on? We said
I had a Nester WNST Radio. Now my partner Nester
wants to know how you got the name Naster Nasty Nester,
So please explain to him how you got such a nickname.
Speaker 4: It's a long story. But there's an artist the sports
cartoon is her name, resig R c ig. He's a
bit of a legend here and drawing Bob Ersay cartoons
back in the eighties, back when we lost the Colts.
And I do remember George bland to believe it or not,
I'm kind of old. But so I lost the bet
about Eddie Murray in the Philadelphia Phillies and I volunteered
to babysit his kids, who were six and four, and
my kid was like four at the time, and I
sent them all to bed early, and they started calling
me Nasty Nester instead of Uncle Nestor. And when I
went on the radio in nineteen ninety two. You know,
I'm a sports writer from the Sun. In the eighties
is what I did. I was a music critic and
hockey writer. When I went on the radio, I had
a guy he said to me, you know, like a
radio guy. He's like, you should have a nickname. You
should do you know, you should be something. And I'm like, well,
you know, these kids call me nasty nest, so I'll
start calling myself that. And he said, you better damn
well be nasty. So thirty five years later, here I am.
And it's not even something I use. You know, get
Nasty was on billboards here in the nineties around the city.
But you know that kind of has a different kind
of connotation. I mean when I took it on, it
was like Janet Jackson Nasty Boys, you know what I mean,
Like the Beastie Boys had you know, uh, he had
an album, right, So it was just sort of a name.
But now it's you know, given to certain the political
ramifications of that. I'm nice nester, now you are, and they.
Speaker 2: Call me mister Texas down here in the only one
stopping right now? All right, sons, soon let me ask
you this. The Texans have blanked the bed multiple times
in Baltimore over the years. I have told my honors,
Oh yeah, I appreciate it. Let's he brings facts to
those kind of conversation that was nasty. So my partner
and I argue about the definition of a must win.
How is either you're definitively a must win or it's
a relative must win. I'm telling my audience Nester, if
if the Texans cannot beat the Ravens this Sunday, it's
never going to happen. First of all, how banged up
are the Ravens besides what you're seeing on the injury
port And on top of that, how just desperate is
this squad going? Oh my god, Cooper Rush is gonna
try to beat one of the best defenses in the
NFL coming up on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Well, I've been covered hardball from the beginning, right, so,
you know eighteen years of watching him come out and
you know, be a gloaty sort of when they're you know,
beaten teams fifty to ten as they've done, and you know,
run NFC team's ragged. Here, they're twenty four and two
against NFC team since a Lamar came at defenses couldn't
stop them. You know, when Lamar's in peril, there's a
whole different dealing in the building, right, I mean, Cooper
Rush and Lamar. It's just, you know, it's like Tom
Moore used to say with the Colts, if Peyton gets
hurt West, you know that's it. You know, whoever the
backup is, it doesn't matter. But then you get into
this one and three and you know Lamar's gonna come
back at some point. It might even be Sunday for
crying out lads with the hamstring. But how bad a
shape are they going to be in? I mean, Cleveland's terrible,
Cincinnati's terrible. Pittsburgh has a forty one year old quarterback
and their defense hasn't been good. But Pittsburgh's Pittsburgh, right,
So you know, I don't know if they can. If
the Ravens win the division at nine and eight or
ten and seven, it's a far cry from thirteen and four,
fourteen and three, like they thought they were going to
be in hosting THEFC championship game, but you know they're
they're piling up the losses and injury wise, I've never
seen anything like it. I mean, it's the thirtieth year
for the Ravens. This year, I can't remember a time
where there's been more promise, And we just came off
a baseball season here where you know, they were supposed
to win ninety games and they were dog meat because
everybody got hurt and they weren't very good. So the
fan base here's a little reeling on that in a
geral sense, although the Turfs are winning in football for
the first time like ever, but for the raven sans
to think playoffs, playoffs, playoffs, Lamar Super Bowl, getting knocked
out in Buffalo, Andrews dropping a pass, losing an AFC
Championship game with Taylor Swift on the field two years
ago to the Chiefs, like all the bad vibes of
that were well, Rokeland's getting better, Kyle Hamilton's great, Marlon
can still do, Marlon Hilfrey can still good. Ronnie Stanley
got signed to a.
Speaker 18: Contract this offseason. Three or four teams are gonna chase
him down and give him twenty million dollars a year.
And he was thought, I don't know a year or
two ago, to just be damaged good because you've been
injured now, Stanley's hurt, Lamar's hurt on the offense defensively, everybody,
all their twenty million plus dollar players, Marlon Humphrey, Rokwan Smith,
Justin Madabikeez now out for the year. He has a
neck injury, which is concerned the whole building that you know,
he might not play again. I mean, there's some real
career concern about his neck injury. And then Kyle Hamilton
showed up on the injury report the other day and
he's thinks their best player on defense for sure, and
they haven't figured out how.
Speaker 4: To use him. You know, they'd like to have him
up on the line and be sort of that eleventh
guy to do whatever he could do, because he's built
a little bit like a linebacker, a little bit like
a gigantic safety, but he's quick as a cat and
he's the smartest guy on the field. I mean, Kyle
Hamilton is a Hall of Fame prospect for them, and
they they've had to move him back to a traditional
safety role because their inside linebackers have been garbage, their
pass rush has been non existent, and their defensive lines decimated.
I mean, this is a mess, You're right, I mean
it's not one and eight on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: I'll be shocked, guys Nester Apparicio with us here on
a sports Talk seven ninety and we here in Houston
have had nightmares. And Derek Henry, he has owned the Texans,
especially when he was a member of the Tennessee Titans.
What do you make of his season? Obviously the fumbles
have been an issue. Yards per carrier still pretty good,
and especially knowing that with Cooper Rush with the reins
that the Ravens are going to try to establish the
run on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I could sit here and go all
day about Lamar and Derrick Henry and what's been wrong
with it. So I mean I'll just start with that.
I mean that the offensive line hasn't been great and
they have not put a lot of resources into the
offensive line. I just gave you a whole bunch of
guys that are giving twenty million dollars to including line
Stanley Tyler, Linderbaum is there is there center and the
right tackle they drafted in Rosengarten last year. They were
expecting better at them all left. But the guard play
has just been awful, and really the offense and Monkin
and the things he wants to do with Lamar with
sleight of hand and RPOs and getting day Flowers into
mismatch situations and getting Bateman down the field. And you know,
they have your guy d Hop who's had one of
those crazy aerial catches that you all are so familiar with,
have won every week here in four weeks. He's straight
Hall of Famers. So they've got a crowded room, Mark
Andrews at tight end and Isaiah like that. They have
all these weapons. They really missed Pat McCard, who is
there sort of a uniquely you know, cannon ball sort
of blocking back that has really been effected for them
over a number of years. He was a defensive lineman
out of Maine, and he was Hardball's project like seven
years ago to make him a fullback or make him
a sort of an h back blocking back, gigantic tight
end when they want to go heavy, and when they
were going heavy with crappy running backs or banged up
running backs, it wasn't very good. But once they brought
Derrick Henry and I thought they were a championship outfit.
You know, I lobbied for that Derek Henry thing for
two years when it was obvious that the Titans him
almost delt them at the trading deadline at one point,
and the Ravens could have used him in their running
game a couple of years ago in playoff time. And
when they got him, I thought, this is a game changer.
And other people like he's these old you know, other
side of thirty whatever. Last year he was unbelievable. But
it really was scheam and it really was you know,
I was taught football thirty years ago by Marvin Lewis
alignment assignment technique. I mean, those guys held their blocks
last year, they pulled guards, they did athletic things. They
had pat Riccard, They have the best quarterback and the
fastest guy on the field in Lamar, and then they
had this bowling ball with Derrick Henry, who would go
the other way because you're scared that Lamar is gonna
get loose on the right side. Next thing you know,
Dereck Henry's running and you've got a safety trying to
bring him down.
Speaker 16: It was a brutal offense last year to deal with.
Speaker 4: This year, I don't know your defensive side, Demiko Rans,
everybody's gonna you know, look at this and say Cooper
rush Derek Henry. I who can stop Derrick Henry? Great,
but it's really about losing blocks at the front line
because Henry's had no place to run. The scheme's been
a little weird, you know. They haven't really wanted to
run Lamar much really over the first five weeks. And
now he's hurt with the amstring. When he comes back,
what's the burst of speed gonna be like, weapons wise
for Cooper rush, like you can throw the ball a
little bit. These tight ends got to wake up here.
I mean, they gotta be. They've got to win that
five to twelve yard range, especially on first down. And
this offense over seven years with Lamar, it's been astonishing.
They're in second and two second and one second and
three more than any outfit I've ever seen until this year.
And that was really their benefit is first down getting six, seven, eight,
nine yard or twelve yards and get getting fresh sticks
and never going into third down, and when they do,
it's short distance. And then on fourth down they they
would just go for it, you know, any distance, any
place on the field.
Speaker 3: They would do that.
Speaker 4: All those things are gone now, I mean, I don't
feel that mojo even with Lamar coming back, because the
offense hasn't been very good in general.
Speaker 2: All right, nest, let's get the crystal ball up four
o'clock Eastern time. When you're talking to your folks post gaming, youtubing,
whatever you do, how's this going to play out in
your mind?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's I mean, if Cooper Rush is
gonna play, it's a different team. And I don't even
know what it looks like. I watched it in the preseason.
He wasn't very good. He was very accurate, and again,
he's not gonna have a lot of time if I mean,
you guys have edge rushers, it's a different it's a
different gaming. They really struggled against Cleveland. You know, Cleveland's
ach good defense, Mileth Garrett and all of that. Really
good players have overwhelmed the offensive line here even before
Lamar came. And Derrick Henry he's sort of the savior
this week, right, I mean, if he can run and
get him four or five yards and they can maintain
the ball a little bit with Cooper Rush, maybe they
can win the game by field goal twenty to sixteen
or something. But I expect a low scoring game and honestly,
I expect the Texas to win. I expect the Texas
to win twenty seven to seventeen something like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think it's that may be too high, to
be honest with you. Last question thirty seconds the obligatory. Hey,
the crab cakes for Baltimore. Agreat You've brought that up
many a time. What's the second best food in your city?
Speaker 4: Ooh, oh, we're seafoods, so I would have to say
something with rock fish or you know like that. Uh yeah, well,
the second best food in our city is a place
called Ekkabin here that makes broccoli te poor. That's unbelievable.
But we have a pretty interesting cuisine palette here. But locally,
you know, go with the rock fish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Nestor, you are a star. Thank you
for coming on the show. I would say we'll talk
to you come playoff time, but I think one of
us will not be in that situation, so we'll just
see who that is later this year.
Speaker 4: The teams can still make the playoffs, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, fine, but we'll be We'll be in the
three thirty Netflix game on Saturday, no matter what the
case may be. You know this right.
Speaker 4: Hey, you guys are really really you're like the second
city in Texas. Don't be that way. You're a way
better city than the other place.
Speaker 2: So you know, a better city. But have you seen
the football history. I mean, come on, please, we're out
football here we come. Oh here it is. We don't need.
Speaker 4: Nasty nest.
Speaker 2: Yeah they suck too, nice, Nester, Thank you.
Speaker 4: I love the stay with my life and you know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why I was on

Speaker 8: What did he do?
Speaker 2: You'll find out in ten minutes. Oh is there really something?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, trying to build, just trying to build some drama.
But you guys had some beef or so we got nothing. Okay,
I got nothing. I mean we could sell it. I
was trying to Oh, I'm new here. Clearly we get
to wake the strippers up. We got rotal on a clock,
and we have Don Florida stories and believe it or not,
today Jane good Old did quite well for the audience.
We get a high rate of listenership for that we did.
I'm making I'm making this up. Man, You're supposed to
keep selling it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: By the way, Taylor Swift's new album is out. That
was the very first thing I heard today from my
wife when she woke up. She said, yeah, your thoughts.
Apparently eight of the twelve songs have Travis Kelsey singing, well,
he's on auto tune. Eight of the twelve songs apparently
have explicit language in them. Oh really, yeah, that's good
for Apparently she's got a potty mouth. Okay, I mean,
can't people curse? Can't do you need cursinging your songs? Though?
Why not? I mean her fan base is frankly, she's
real talk Maddie thinking older too, you know. Yeah times
she's been making music for like twenty years, right, yeah,
and she does use cuss words in her I don't know.
I just think that you know, she grant somebody think
of the children. Well, I mean, her audience is getting older.
But there's also a lot of people that create songs
that don't have swear words in them. Okay, well, yeah,
they can go listen to the kids. About version. Maybe
maybe there's a maybe there's a g rated but yeah,
eight of the time I thought I thought it was
kind of strange generally. I know, on Spotify you can
find the clean versions of most everything. I don't know
about Apple Music or apparently her sex life is discussed
quite a bit during these these songs. Okay, so she's
cursing and talking about Travis or ex boyfriends. Well, she's
thirty five years old, and I would like you to
listen this weekend and give me say full review on Monday.
I honestly, because she's so iconic. I haven't gotten dove
into any Taylor Swift music except for, like, you know,
I've heard a couple of her hits, right, I've been
thinking about it because people say she's a great songwriter.
I do appreciate good songwriting, but I think it's also
mostly just relatable to like millennial women. So I don't
think this is gonna be relatable. It may not, it
may not hit you like it hits twenty nine year olds,
but I mean, I'll you know again, anybody, she can't
do anything wrong. I can't imagine any of her nine
hundred billion fans going this album sucks. I doubt it.
It's like as a Beatles fan, I can tell you
there are some Beatles songs that are atrocious. Okay, Octopus's
Garden being one of the Multipus's golden What do you
mean that one of Fantasy Vive Well, for Roe Rorche,
we made we made an executive decision on that. What
do you mean that we get rid of people that
like octopuses Garden? That was that was an all. I mean,
I've lost some Fantasy fives to you, and I can
kind of get it when I lost that one on
my birthday of all days, I, by the way, voted
for you. If you recall, Oh my god, with all
they have forty number one hits and he went to
like number five and eighty four in their catalog. Anything

Speaker 12: Man, man, my god, I can't even believe you busin
this man. You actually brought up some really important uh
points about the all us in type texting thing.
Speaker 3: This is ridiculous.
Speaker 12: Man, I'm tired of hearing these textan fans trying to
hold on to something that doesn't belong to you.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 12: You guys are the text ads, Okay, embrace that, you know.
And it's crazy because I've been I've been, like you know,
just not in the best of moves since we lost
the Tallet Bowl and it really was a tilet bowl, and.
Speaker 14: I agree we we we stunk it up.
Speaker 3: It was really bad.
Speaker 12: I think Cam tried too hard in front of his
fans or whatever I mean, in front of his family
or whatever, so we look terrible.
Speaker 3: But you guys. Not you guys. We're gonna be fighting
for last place.
Speaker 12: But just to wake up because I've been struggling through
this all week knowing that we lost this game, man,
and wake up to hear.
Speaker 3: My God, wrong, dude, be wrong. We never rock.
Speaker 14: We never agree with you on this one.
Speaker 12: The best take you have ever given in the last
ten years.
Speaker 3: Man, absolutely list Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Mean christens for a decade. That's the first time he's
agree with you on anything. It just shows you how
it's the first time he's been right. It's the first
time he's been right, Chris.
Speaker 12: But the thing is, Man, it was so funny because
I mean, just really quick, I just would you know.
On that day of that Sunday, I went into my
local store pick up some stuff because I was gonna
about to cute, feeling good about the game.
Speaker 3: I'm just knew we're gonna win.
Speaker 12: And I walk in with my camera ward number one jersey,
and I see a guy in line with his warmth
moon number one jersey. So he looks at me and
we greet each other and stuff, and he was like, yeah,
we've benna kick those texts, I mean Titans ass And
I'm like, wait a minute, bro, we we up on
the wrong side of the fense. This represents the Titans.
I don't know what you've got this jersey on, but
you know, we kind of just kind of, you know, we.
Speaker 3: Agree to not this to disagree.
Speaker 12: But the thing is, man, that tradition, those jerseys, those colors.
But all of this now in Tennessee, for those that
still hold on the tradition, you welcome them, come over,
but you're not to drop your flag and renounce your
crazy belief in this team in Houston and become all
a slash tightened law your fan. I'll let you, guys,
a rank rod takes you ever had. Man, let's take
you out ahead.
Speaker 2: This is really shaky. Feel right now. I feel horrible.
I don't know. You should erased that tweet. Titan Chris
and I are on the same page. If you think
that Titan Chris and Ross should be in the same page,
you should unfuddle at sports surveys. No, this is you low, now,
this is you've sunk low. This is the lowest you
could possibly sink. I mean, if that's what kind of
mature you want on your instagrams, let's go go follow him.
I mean, come on, folks move on thirty years ago
and they didn't even win. You can have like an
Earl Campbell jersey. Sure, you want to hang pictures on
your wall. I guess if you want to be an
Orders fan, then go be a Titans fan. That's what
I'm saying. Go do that, but don't go to the oilers.
Don't go to the Texans game. We're an Orders gear
and root for the Texans. Yeah, Like he's saying, you're
at the grocery store wearing a Warren Moon jersey saying
we're gonna kick y'all's ass today, and you're like, who,
who's we? It's it's just too much. It's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 19: There is.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying this is someone who doesn't have a
dog on the fight because I'm not a Texans fan.
But you love the oilers. I love the Orders that
the very clear Texans own nothing of the Orders. They
never I mean, I don't want it. If I'm the Texans,
I don't want it because again, yeah, what are you
gonna do? There's an the franchise still exist. The other
team embraces the Orders, as you said, Warren Moon, Alan Pinkett,
Ernest Gibbons, Hey Wood, Jeffard, they all go to Nashville.
They they're welcome there. The Texans and not said well
Warren don't come. They just said, hey, we know you
have your team. That's your squad. We just changed the name.
And Amy Adams is not gonna bunch him budge on it.
If they would budge and then Texans could wear Boiler's alternates,
it'd be cool. But it's not gonna happen. It's not
gonna happen. No, All right, time for you to apologize. Look,
I've met many of you, and uh, you don't live
in pristine life. You have issues, some more than others.
So id you'd like to apologize for something you've done
or said this week? Seven one three two one two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five
seven ninty, it is time for you to apologize. Let
us you and no matter of fact, if you don't
come and apologize and we find out you've done something wrong,
we're gonna be doubly hard on you. Come in here, apologize,
say you're sorry so you'll feel better. It's the most
cathartic thirty minutes in Houston Sports radio. It's next seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. Some of
you pay for therapy. Some of you should be going
to therapy. We give you an opportunity here to say
these very very simple words.
Speaker 20: I'm sorry, so sorry, God.
Speaker 2: Good, all right, here we go seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one
two five seven ninety. You've done something this week, you apologize,
and you'd apologize for let's hear it. Seven one three
two one two five seven ninety Ross. Would I let
you go first? I don't really how. I don't want
to apologize to Oilers fans. No, I mean I was
an Oilers fan. I'm sorry to those that are misinterpreting,
and I'm saying, like, hey, burn all your Oilers gear.
Perhaps I could have been clear. I'm just saying, don't
live like the team is still alive. They are dead.
They are long dead, and that organization does not care
about you except to take your money. I'm also sorry
for believing the Astros but they were gonna go playoffs.
I'm sorry for doing too much fanboying at Kevin Durant
on Monday. I'm not sorry. I know you wouldn't be.
I'm supposed to be the objective right down the middle
journalist of the duo.
Speaker 8: I shook his handle.
Speaker 2: Then he put his arm on my shoulder. You know,
I had to wipe the beads of sweat off your forehead.
So what, Kevin freaking Durant? Top twelve player all time?
What's up? Argue with your mama? See, I haven't say
top fifteen is. I feel like it's a nice safe
zone to put that in. I'm gonna put him in
top twelve, and I'm blessed I get to call hopefully.
I don't think's gonna play eighty two, but if I
can get seventy out of him, I'd be pretty pleased
with that. I'll make a lot of national highlights. I
gotta be I gotta be on my game this year.
Ros said, I can't. I can't. I can't slack off
it all. You have four or five times scoring cham
you're asking me google it. I'm looking four time scoring cham. Okay, MVP?
How many MVPs one?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 2: How many All Stars? Fifteen? How close is he to
a what's his free throw percentage? Eight eighty two? So's
eight point two. He's almost a fifty forty ninety gal
like for his career. Yeah, that's insane. The only thing
he does thirty nine percent threes, fifty percent field goals,
eighty eight point two for oh, he's almost fifty forty
ninety four his career. And this is the guy who's
had defenders draked all over him. This is not you
know what we were talking about, Seth versus Seth site
verse seven.
Speaker 19: Steph.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is not I'm open in the corner, come
find me. This is I am the initiated the offense,
and guys are draped all over me and I'm getting
double team. The only stat I don't like about him
is his turnover camp. It's not even that bad. It
was bad last year three point two per game, three
point one last year to yeah, to four point four assists.
Not great, No, but you know what, that's his biggest plummish.
I can live with it, and I will be because
I'll be fan boarning this year. So I'm saying in
advance if I'm losing my adjectivity with Kevin Durant, this
for a reason. He's one of the all time greats.
So I say, I'm sorry, sorry, It's all right, Matt,
you don't have to be sorry. All right, let's see
what else? John? That what you got this week? You
can you do anything wrong? You know what actually did?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 2: I feel bad about this. Yeah, you know I someone
else in the stall. I went at the restroom right
uh oh uh oh.
Speaker 7: But you know, I'm just you know, I'm taking a
leak and I didn't you know, you see led a
little red occupied, but I didn't notice that. So I'm
just thinking, I'm in the bathroom alone and I just
cropped this so loud, like a good five seconds. I mean,
I like I was released.
Speaker 4: I was good.
Speaker 2: Would you eat?
Speaker 7: I don't even know the Tucos? It was yesterday, I no.
I had looked back and then I heard him like
moving the pub. I ran out there, so I ran
about them so fast.
Speaker 2: So you want to apologize for the crop dust or
you can just stick around and find out who you
cropped up. I feel so bad form I apologize by
the way. Bleacher Report put a list out this summer.
Kevin Durant thirteen of all on the All Times, Alaji
one twelve interesting, Kobe Bryant eleven, Steph Curry ten.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I love this list. Look I'm
sorry Curry's getting dingmed for his defense. He's I'm putting
him behind Kobe Alaju one and Kevin Durant. What's up? See,
I don't know if I can dang him. I know
I'd like to add to but I can't think we're
splitting hairs. Yes we are all right. Uh so nobody
has called yet with any apologies. So everybody that's listening
to our show today perfect has behaved themselves this week.
Kevin Duncan, I'mann Duncan, Tim Duncan, number seven mm hmmm
mmm head a bird and Wilt No, you raise This
list does not count. You know, I'm gonna be safe
in saying Kevin Durant top fifteen of all time period,
be nice and safe, Kareem three, Lebron two, Jordan one, yeah,
and Wilt's four. I'm assuming nine. Who's four? Magic? Ooh okay,
multiple positions. I mean they've got shock number six, so
six spots ahead of a KAKEM. I were feeling about that, Houston,
What I just say, delete the account block it, put
adwear on a spyware whatever you need to get on there.
I can't believe this. We usually have people calling and
left and right are upset. Maybe other stations are doing
better textans breakdown than we are. Have people switched to us,
not today, they don't't listen to us today. I think
we've had a great show so far. We will text
a text smack talk. We've had you getting annihilated by
the audience of Houston for your horrifically rude takes about
wearing an order skiar. Great show. I've been very pleased.
It's been great, fantastic, spectacular. Maybe getting into Twitter fight. Sorry, Well,
here's the thing. I send Adam Clinton ten to fifteen
rude voice memos per week. I could apologize for the
people that I attack, but then that would end the voicemails.
You should apologize. Yeah, you got to grow up. Yeah,
you know what, I'm going to grow up. I'm not
going to attack you know how. I'm done attacking woo
the want to be radio people that are hosting YouTube pages.
I'm wishing them the best. I mean, I can't go
that far. You should be stopping attacking them. You can't
encourage them. I get it. Yeah, So I'm gonna do this.
I'm gonna say I'm sorry for all of you who
have had failed radio careers that are not doing YouTube pages.
M hmmm, that's rude. All right, I'm gonna do this
right now. This is the last call. If no one's
going to apologize for anything they've done this week. You
haven't angered your wife for something you've done. You haven't
cut somebody off in the middle of the freeway. You
weren't rude to the subway. A person making your sandwiches,
they didn't put enough letuce on your sandwich. I mean,
come on, now, this is the most cathartic thirty minutes
of the week in this in the radio world, no
one gives you more leeway to apologize for things that
you've done than this radio show. Seven one three two
one two five seven nine zero seven one three two
one two five seven eight. I'm serious. Maybe we've been
Maybe you and I have been nicer, have we been?
Have we insult anybody? I feel like I've been a saint.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you take your normal sixteen to seventeen shots
at me, but I just give you. You know, it's
part of the radio show. Yeah, it's part of the bit.
Speaker 15: Matt.
Speaker 2: It is true. I think you're great because because I
was thinking if you were going to be nice to
me for the whole twenty hours per week. We have
a tough show, lose our listeners. That's true.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: You know every time I run into people like get
a remote or wherever, they're like, keep giving that a
hard time. Yeah, I know I've heard that before. Take
your cheap shots at me. That's fine, all right, now
we got Now the people have company. Thank goodness, because
I mean we've just been two nice with each other
this last four minutes seven one three, two two five seven. Honey, Aaron,
thank you very much for calling. I know you've got
something to apologize for, so the floor is yours.
Speaker 21: Yes, I got two things, Matt.
Speaker 9: Preemptively, I wanted to apologize to all the Cooper.
Speaker 16: Fans this weekend because they're fixing to get the long
barrel from Texas Tech.
Speaker 2: Hmmm.
Speaker 21: And then the second one, I've had this bad thought.
Every time you see Hanna McNair and her and Andre,
do you ever think of blazing saddles where she's lily
gone through asking if Andre is gifted?
Speaker 2: No, I don't, No, I don't.
Speaker 21: It's true, it's true.
Speaker 2: It's all going away. Thank you. I have it's all
going over my head. I've never seen Blazing Saddles all
the way through. You haven't.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Uh, you would love it, I know I would. I
do love the scene where the cowboys are in the
middle of nowhere and they they the guard the guardrail
comes up and they have to good stay and they're like,
we can't get around it. That's pretty funny. It's a
great movie. So you know what, buddy, and it's you know,
a lot of the racial overtones wouldn't fly. It wouldn't
fly today, that's for sure. But I've got a I've
got a Rockets road trip coming up in a week.
I'll watch it on the road. I'll give you a
full Blazing Saddles report. Give me two weeks. That fair, okay.
So I'm sorry for seeing Blazing Settles and having all
those references to go over my head. Let's go to

just go tell Steve Bryant that much. Tell Steve, I
don't think he's wearing his helmet his jersey on the couch.

in the Easton called moontower In. I got it in
twenty twelve. She asked to borrow it. I reluctantly said no.
She took it without my knowledge. Oh, I asked I
need you to bring it back that night. She didn't
bring it back. I asked her to bring it back
the next day.
Speaker 3: The next day.
Speaker 13: The next day, about two weeks go by, and I said,
something's up, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Where's my where's my glass? I need it for my
five dollars syllips.
Speaker 23: Only to find out she smashed it the night I
gave it to her, and I flipped out.
Speaker 19: I freaked out and kind of feel bad.
Speaker 2: Same time, I don't so Actually I'm not sorry.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Did you call her names?
Speaker 3: Yes?

Speaker 2: Did you attack her physical appearance?
Speaker 4: Yes? I did.
Speaker 2: You need to apologize? Okay, so apologize for that.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 2: The thing is, no, I don't think I can ask you.
You attacked her physical appearance? Was was your wife next
to you when you did such thing?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, she did, And how did this girl react to
you attacking her physical appearance.
Speaker 13: Well, let's just say I did it behind her back,
and I complained mostly to my wife about it, and
for the first time, and I guess in our marriage,
she kind of agreed with me and said that she
should have listened to me. But ultimately, I will never
get that that glass back and I'm looking for someone
to repair it.
Speaker 2: You have, So basically, you called for two minutes on
the show and didn't apologize for anything you've done. Uh,
that that's correct, Governor Thomas. All right, we'll talk with
you during Rohta. We'll let you go. Could you at
least you admitted your flaws, Thank you very much. All right?
So he called and really didn't apologizes. He just wanted
to tell the whole world. I mean that he misses
his class. And then he made fun of the girl
and he didn't. Now, he didn't even attack her physical
appearance in front of her. Okay, his stones aren't that big.
He didn't seem like he's that What can we said
that he was valid if he did, though, you can't
attack their physical appearance. You can call them stupid. That's
what my property do that's free range. Well, so you're
saying you're gonna attack those or no, he doesn't, he
doesn't know it was she goes to him. So that
means you. You means that means if you go somebody
and you break a glass, it means go after their
physical appearance.
Speaker 7: Free shots, I mean I might not do it's free range.
Actions have consequences.
Speaker 8: Tough.
Speaker 5: All right?

now at twelve oh seven, as to do every time,
in this segment of the show, we present to you
the news at noon, and with that we go to
the We're gonna go to today, We're gonna go to
the Steve Levy of Houston Sports Casting. It's Rossville. Well,
sure what I'll take that, Matt. Appreciate you. Matthew A
big clash with the Ravens this weekend for your Houston Texans.
Some are calling it a must win game. We didn't
get to ask Nestor Apparicio if it was a must
win game for the Ravens. Well, my mind, it is
must win. You can't beat Cooper Rush. It's like I'm
doing a fish show on the fan cans Rush. You
can't beat Derek can read the fumble machine. Ain't got you,
Chatty Dan, He's on the injury report. Include Roe, Kwan Smith,
Patrick Ricard, Lamar Jackson, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, Chadobi Oozier.
It's not looking good for the Ravens and they're injuries.
Only one DNP for the Texans on the injury report.
That would be one fully Fadakasi. Texans two and a
half point favorites this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Also,
though Matt c J. Stroud is making national headlines with
what he said, did you catch this? I did, but
go ahead and tell the audience.
Speaker 4: C J.
Speaker 2: Stroud asked a question about improving his explosiveness, quote, being
twenty three, I'm not fully in my grown man body
all the way yet I'm still growing. I feel like
I'm getting old. I'm not as quick as I used
to be. I was watching my high schools high school
stuff a couple of days ago, and I was like
one eighty and I was rolling. He said, he's getting
too big and bulky, and he's too old. He's twenty
three years old. By the way, When any twenty three
year old tells me they're getting old, do you know what?
The first thing I want to say back to them
is they're they're hurt, they're banged uppe, not a hundred percent. Nope,
Shut your bum mess up. That's it. I never want
to hear anybody under the age of thirty tell me
how old they feel, and then when they get to
thirty they start telling you how old they feel or
they're now officially middle aged. Shut your bum asses up.
It's only gonna get worse, you because my shoulder kind
of sore. I don't know the old day. Yeah, how
old are you now? Twenty three?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's wow. So old are you twenty three?
You said only gonna get worse? Call hopes in dreams.
Continue on, all right, man, We will continue on with
some Major League Baseball, well not necessarily news, but the
ALDS and n LDS series are set. Cubs facing the Brewers,
Yankees at the Blue Jays, Dodgers, Phillies should be a
great matchup Tigers Mariners. Maybe not captivating the nation, but
that should be interesting as well. Give me four winners
of those series, Matt, I'm gonna give you that the
Yankees are gonna beat the Blue Jays. Oh, I don't
say that the Phillies are going to win, beat the
Doyers over the doe Yers Tigers, Mariners. I cannot ever
pick Seattle Detroit. Please beat Seattle. And I got the
Melliewalke Brewers beating the Chicago We want Blue Jays Tigers,
and whatever happens happens, right, correct? Okay? And I'm sorry?
Would you say for the Cubs?
Speaker 5: Ruors?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Brewers over the Cubs. A couple hits for Kyle Tucker
yesterday got his average up to two seventy three and
the three game set not terrible. I think they were
both singles, by the way, not ten years four twenty worthy.
And one more quick news item, Matt, the name Billy
Gillespie should ring a bell for you. Wait what's he
doing now? Tarleton State coach Billy Gillespie placed on temporary
administrative leave as the university investigates an anonymous complaint, the
school has announced Friday. The school is not commenting further.
No details on the nature of the complaint are made
immediately available. We have no idea what it's for. He
did face allegations, if you recall, of player mistreatment while
he was at Texas Tech, where he resigned as the
Red Raiders coach citing health concerns. Also questions about his
playing style and coaching. St'm student coaching style were made
during his time at Kentucky, including the treatment of players
and staff in the athletic department. Sixty five years old,
in his sixth season at Tarleton State, that's the longest
of his Division one. Stints got a second chance. Sometimes
you gotta make the most of it, even though it's
at a low end Division one. Arlton State. I forgot him. Yeah,
he's a Kentucky coach. That's where I urinated on the
on the girls closed at the house and at Tarlton State.
What I told you a story, haven't I? Yeah, I have,
I know I have. In Stephenville, we got some more
news at noon, folks, we do okay, go ahead, go ahead, No,
it's from you. Oh, you will to maintain the story. Okay.
It sounds vaguely, it sounds familiar. Buddy of mine in college.
We're at North Texas, went to go see his brother
who was going to Tarleton State. And we got to
the house where they were staying, and his brother and
his girl were I believe we're finishing up some sexual activity, okay,
And we said, hey, we're here. She starts yelling at
us like get out of the house. Get out of here.
We don't want about you here. They knew we were coming.
So uh, my buddy says, hey, let's let's give her
a little treat. And so we decided to yearnate on
her clothes and we did. Wow, that is the most
wild college to I've ever heard. I told you, here's
a young rappele rouser insane. So that's my news at dude,
just don't yump yelling at us, and we'll I want
yourna on your clothes and that's your news. And dude,
but I told that story before. I've heard it before,
I recall it now. Yeah, Tarlot, if you think what
Tarlton State is, it is Stephenville. You get in your
car and you go up and down the street. When
you look at people where if they're hanging out the
ironic if they're hanging out at the Rappelrease, that they're
hanging out at the Rick Ronald's, or their murder ring.
I mean there, it's all. It's it's just one long
now grand that this is also thirty years ago, so
maybe it's a little more cause of politan But I'm
assuming that Tarlot, that Steve Migle, Texas is in a
whole up. I thought Tarleton was a city up around there.
It could be it's in Stephenville. I thought there was
a tart in there. Tarleton, Texas. I don't know. I'm
just telling you Tarleton States in Stephenville, I think, Yeah,
I mean like I've only been there once because you
know what, No, I'm mister Texas does go all over
the place, unlike others. Okay, whose others?
Speaker 7: You me?
Speaker 2: You've never been to Charleton. No, I'm gonna walking down
of those street. You've never been a big bend. Yeah,
I don't know how to go to National part in Junction,
you know me in Atlanto? Shut up? They don't have
Marriots there. And first of all, I don't claim myself
to be mister Texas. I do exactly and you're wrong,
mister do like doctor Pepper. No Tomalley Eaton in Chilada,
Hayton worst mister Texas ever.
Speaker 17: I'm a Brendan driver. Brandam driving. Oh, Corpus Christie, a
buying car guy. McCallen, call me back, Corpus. Now you're
mister Texas. Yes, that was ridiculous. I went all over
the state to be and you let be. You want
beans in your.
Speaker 2: Chili, I'm not. I'm not opposed to it. Here you're out,
I'm not. I'm not opposed to it. I can go beanless,
I can go with full of beans. I love beans.
But if you don't beans in your chili, I don't
mind it. Like I like coke, I like pepsi too.
That's what it is.
Speaker 11: You know what.
Speaker 2: I am fraud open to all possibilities. Twelve fifteen Jemendwey
Guacamo on No Okay twelve fifteen on Sports Talk seven Euti.
Twelve twenty one on Sports Talk seven Nauti. It's Matt
in Ross. We're with you today until two o'clock. Doctor
Roto's gonna be with us in forty minutes. Charo's gonna
try to go five and oher Or already down a
little bit because Puknakua had a big game yesterday for
the Rams, so was like Toros, Yeah, I didn't realize. Yeah,
that's just great. I'm glad you're back into the fantasy season, Matt,
back back into the swing of things. It's fine. I'm
not thrilled. Let's go to the phones and talk to
a James. I mean I was playing against the Rams defense.
They're at minus two, so I'm feeling good about that.
Somebody use the Rams defense. Yes, I mean he's going
against Mac Jones on a short week. It doesn't seem
like the craziest idea the do the Niners have a quarterback?
I mean he was really good yesterday, very very fluid
for them. A lot of money spent on Brock party. Sorry,
I was just looking at my roster. It's fine, it's
not good. You you know what you needed, your come
up ins. At some point I got Brock, Pardy Molik,
Neighbors and Mike Evans. We're feeling good. James on seven
Hoy High, James, Hello, you're on all right.
Speaker 5: Oilers. I don't think they'll ever die as long as
they're remembered. I started watching them in Today's A Love
You Blue. I consider myself a Homer, and I think
these fans that are wearing oiler gear and tensing gear,
they're staking it. They're a Homer. Whatever team is here,
we're going to root for him. I mean, I've been
rooting since the Moses with the Rockets. I was rooking
for the Astros when they were losing to the Dodgers,
which made that victory over the Dodgers one of the
sweetest I've ever seen. I actually got to beat the
game when Commander Cody beat the Pittsburgh I will always
enjoy seeing Pittsburgh lose. I was there to see the
Mike Renfro catch and what in to catch. I will
always root for the home team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can root for him, but I mean, well,
there's nothing to root there's no Oiler games to root for.
Speaker 5: No, no, I'll root for the Testive. I'm saying, whatever
home team is here, I'm gonna root for the home team.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And you're seeing a guy wearing the oiler gear and
attention gear, they're saying they're a Homer. I root for
the local colleges. I root for the state colleges. You know,
I even like seeing Dallas win. I would love nothing
more to see Dallas play Houston and the Super Bowl.
It would hurt terribly to lose, but boy, if they
was to beat him in the Super Bowl, we could
hang that over their head for many, many years, probably till.
Speaker 3: The day I die.
Speaker 2: How's your overall health?
Speaker 5: Oh fairly good.
Speaker 3: I'm hanging in there.
Speaker 5: I didn't feel old till I hit fifty seven. And
if you want, you even call me Jimbo. I'll be
your Jimbo today.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jimbo. Appreciate you, Jimbo. All Right, we got
a Jimbo to call the show today. We got a
James Hopes. I just think it's I think it's lamed. Look,
I'm just gonna say sorry, everybody can hear you. I
think it's lame to wear oiler's gear to a Texans
Titans game and be rooting for the Texans. It just
doesn't make any sense. But during the way that baseball
game doesn't make any sense, people should do that. I'm
just saying there's thousands of people. I know I've ruffled
some feathers. Oh you have. I hope you've lost followers
over it. I have actually good Instagram. I gotta lost
a couple of people. That's okay at Sports RV on Instagram.
All right, so let's go back to something we brought
up very early in the show today. Yes, speaking of
the Texas stuff, what did you think of Kirby hol Cut,
the athletic director at the Universe the Tech Tech University,
tweeting out that he's considering tomorrow a home game. I
think that's good banter. It's funny, it's getting a reaction,
it's not taking personal shots in anybody, and I think
it's it's great. It's been a back and forth between
Red Raiders and Houston Cougar's all week long and it's continuing.
For those of you inerwebs it's k I RB Y
HOCU T T. Kirby Holcut Direct Athletics at Texas Tech
Kurby hill Cut. He he tweeted out fifteen hours ago
Red Raider Nation, It's official. We have declared Saturday night's
game in Houston as our eighth home game this season.
Houston is West Texas hashtag reckham hashtag fifteen to one.
It has been seen impression wise, not not necessarily read,
by two hundred and thirty thousand different accounts, seventeen hundred likes,
four hund and ten retweets, ninety three comments. So let's
go check on the retweets. Let's see if there are
quotes attached to it. Okay, James says, work for the
best eighty in the country. This is so fire hashtag
true story. Is he the best eight in the country?
I don't know. It's relative. I would say people, that's
the best aiding in the country. Hires good coaches, has
great support staff, doesn't get in trouble with the inte
of LA, pays its employees. Well, that makes it the
best eight in the country. Right, sure went out, Kirby
ho cut's doing a great job. Okay, h Kirby from
the top rope, we're seeing that quite a bit. Yes,
it's pretty good. Bulletin board from at barstool Koog's Wait,
what did barstool cook say?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 2: Bolletin boar material. I guess that's what I want. If
the Cougars win tomorrow, I'm going to retweet that fire
one hundred times. If the Cougars lose tomorrow, we'll move on.
I will move on. I will be next week. Next
week is at Oklahoma State. That's a win, Thank god.
I don't know they've got a rally around their fired coach.
Brett says, I love this man so much. Barsada says,
best ad in the country. Cougar Ot says, if we
get this w on Saturday, I swear to God happy you.
Tech Burner will probably have to block me. Something called
tiny nipples says, oh, excuse me, it's his account, not mine.
Speaker 4: O s h.
Speaker 2: This is the real kh account. He's officially getting ill
bro a little Brothered Jacob says, let Kirby Cook r
a d greater than their ad. Let's see here, Kirby
holc cuts the University of Houston. It's a hul Cogan
with a leg drop ouch. Now would he be doing
this if his beloved Red Raiders were not eleven and
a half point favorites? I don't know. What does he
know about ticket sales? That's what I want to know too, Well,
what's the crowd going to be? First of all, he
doesn't know the ticket sales. He just knows that he
probably has fans that are going, yeah, we'll see you there. Look,
the reality is I wouldn't and I hate to say,
I really hate to say this, but it is what
it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a fifty
to fifty sixty forty. I mean, I just it is
what it is. I was thinking sixty forty kops and
I guess I'm just off base. I'm I'm gonna be
sad for your fan base if you cannot have the
majority in your own house. When you're four to zero
and a ranked team's coming now. Majority is should be
at a minimum. But the texta Tech fans gonna be loud.
I mean we're not gonna be all. I mean, I'm
not gonna sit there in stir drunk, Oh for sure.
I mean they don't go to class. Some moneys any way,
no class at all. Yeah, I'm just gonna say, I mean,
Cameron went Cameron Harley went to school.
Speaker 5: I mean, it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Good kid, but he arted with the texting. What did
he get his degree in marketing? That's nice? Yep, we're
a house divided. Yeah, you guys, it's okay. You guys
been talking to because your son calling in? Uh ooh,
you know what, I'll call him Steve. You want to
come in the next break, Okay, let's see if you
can do that. Twelve twenty nine on Sports Talk seven ninety.
My son is wise. He has politely and respectfully declined
the invitation to come in and smack talking squad because
I think he's probably embarrassed at Texas Tech, and I
thought a director would call it a home game. You
know what, I'm Rossie, I'm treating. I'm teaching my kids.
The right thing to do. Just just back up, just
watch the game, enjoy it, not get into a war
war war of words in the social media streets a minute.
You've been talking about all week how you love smack talk.
Speaker 11: I do.
Speaker 2: I don't mind doing it. But if he doesn't want
to do it because he knows to seem might lose.
Is that why he doesn't want to do it. I
don't know. I'm busy. Yeah, that's a good question. So
let me alone, dad. He's like, damn, I'm trying to nap.
He's probably watching like Turkish League soccer or something.
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 2: He there's a significant chance he is. I don't know
how I got that. I've been hanging around from you
too much. No, he does that. He's way more into
soccer than I am. He I don't know. I follow English,
a little Spanish and a little very little Italian or French.
He's all in on like all of that. Yeah, he'll
say He'll come into the house and he'd be like, hey,
did you guys hear about this game? I'm like, what game?
There are no sports going on. Uh, He's like watching
Europa League and whatnot. It's just you gotta be. Hey,
maybe he doesn't want to. Yeah, the big Boornmuth versus
Fulham games coming on at two o'clock. I said, can't
go read a book, go learn something. Hey, wait, Turkish
super Leagua is going on. That's that's gonna be the
reason why he's watching. I'll Talia support versus kaikor Rise
up Spot. No doubt in my mind that he is.
He works tonight, so I know for a fact he's
in front of a television right now. That's right, all right,
twelve thirty five on Sports talks him and I've got
Doctor Royal coming up at till one o'clock. I have
a phyllis. We've not talked to any baseball today because
is get but the locally stuff. Because we've got the
series coming up, uh Division Series, and I think will
be fun. That's a good way to watch a week.
You know, It's funny because people always say certain months
of the year of the best is this This might
be the best month of the year, right college football wise, NFL,
you get the World Series, Baseball playoffs, the NBA starts
lighter this month. Tell me there's not a better month
than October. If I think I could it was the
best what's the second best March? For one reason and
one reason? Yeah, but you but I know, but you're
telling me the madness is so much better than everything
else we got going on right now. Yes, Okay, I
think the manage is great for the first two days
and after that it kind of just not not dwindles wrong,
but it's it's not as hectic, its crazy. Yeah, I
like the first two days are the craziest and best.
Those are the best days on the sports calendar, Like
right now, Saturday, you put the college game at eleven o'clock,
you may see an upsit. Then you watch a two
thirty game, and then you put the baseball December could
be good college playoffs, and then NFL is getting ramped
up in the Playoffsmber, and then you're got the NBA
ramping up. So I'm gonna go October one, December two,
March three. That's what I'm going with. Okay, let's stick
to it. Nobody's gonna say July no, not in sports
radio or not August little lean too. Let's break down
a training camp boy, Nick Cayley. He's a great offensive coordinator.
What do you all say, Hue wee are you having
a heart attack? I think I'm having some sort of aneurysm.
That is Nick Kayley, Light of the Bowlands up for
some Nicky? How are you geniuses that we're loving on?
Nick Kyley? I mean, well, how's it turned out? So
far's the goat? He sucks? He was great on so
Oh my god, your eyes rolled out of your head.
Speaker 5: Terrible.
Speaker 2: Oh now you're looking at place man, I got some bundle.
Oh geez, you know I was inspired by your son.
I'm putting on some Bundesliga.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: If somebody down, get him. Oh he's got a concussion,
get him an apple, get him a cart. Oh actually
they did knock heads kind of bad, so they're play
any more. Sorry, Sorry, y'all are so desperately terribly hurt
on all everyone. The stretchers are coming out, stretchers coming out,
and here comes to amble lamps all those you know,
the the ambulance noises out and overseas are really I mean,
it's it's like they're playing to die. They playing. Don't
stop believing. Hmm, that's actually good for an ambulances. Be
optimistic all right, now we're keeping a book right now,
we ask there you go see, that's exactly what I'm thinking.
That's because Nick Kayley was calling play is like nobody's business,
all right, Nick Keyley sucks and y'all know it probably
never shoot the job to be Kaylee cook. Okay, you
cook against half of the CFL all defensive team out well, hey,
by the way, get the job done. By the way,
Lamar Jackson not practicing in today, They're not there. He's done. Yeah,
mister mouthpiece. Seriously, they're gonna wrap his leg up and
maybe give it a You don't practice for six days,
you're gonna go out there, no chance not happening, and
if it, it's dumb on them. Actually yeah, I would agree.
All right. Uh, James Incline is not one of our
better callers, but he wants a smack on Texas Tech.
He's cook Scott. I'm really leery of how good this
call is gonna be. So ross, let's get a little
pre grade, pre call graded on James and Klin pre
get well, I'll be paying attention. Let's go, James, I
believe in you. Is he at least a one? Is
he on one of the ten scales? Will this call
be at least a six I'll give them a C sick.
We're going one to ten? Oh, a six, six, five?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: My expectation is a five, James, Can you give us
at least a five quality call?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 14: I can guns up? How about funds up? I guess
it's easier to loot and recruit you Texas ut wanna
bees uh uh leader tortillas at home. I know you're
gonna have fans in the stands, but that's fat cat
on Cohen.
Speaker 10: He wants to eat.
Speaker 14: We can run it on the ground, we can throw
it in the air, and when when they have the
last bout, there's gonna be no doubt. Who's house Kug's house.
I'm out, Jonathan, we're.

of the fund. But but he loses points for saying
I'm out. He was reading off a card, right you think,
oh I had to Yeah, Yeah, that's me, James. That's
a two and a half out of ten. Well, you
were hoping at least so I'm giving him a four
and a half. You're being way too generous. Great job, James,
you can't do it with a serious face. Appreciate you,
Thank you, James. Hey, look, anytime you call into a
major market radio show, it's nerve wreaking.
Speaker 4: I get it.

Twenty six year old Bathroom body Works associate was arrested
Thursday after what police described as a candle crisis sparked
by a heated sale. According to shoppers, Rachel was stocking
shelves during the store's three year Wick three Wick candle
promotion when a customer tried to apply an expired coupon.
That happens all the time of bath and body Works.
By the way, does it I've done it. Morgan allegedly
slammed the registered shut and shot it. These deals are
hot enough already. This is not true, is it? I
don't think so. When this is then, she said, she
lit one of display candles, held it aloft like a torch,
and declared no discount shall pass while blocking the expert.
No the exit police if Morgan refused to leave until
every customer recided the words limit ten per customer. This

and it's like, oh wait, that happens at every stadium.
Everywhere they say something, thank you for that. Texas Tech

I'm busy. Have you ever been to a tailgate once
in your life? Plenty of time? How many times? At
least ten? Okay, but i'm you. But usually when I
go to sporting events, now, I work them just like you.
And you can go get liquored up. No, I'm not
getting lickered up to theto a pregame show.
Speaker 14: Two.
Speaker 2: I can probably to one take the edge off. Now
if we're losing the fourth cour I can, and I'm
still spotting for Ash. I can just just pick Randall
players the guy should tackle. Yeah, you guy, I was
close exactly. Nobody's paying attention anyways at that point. No,
all right, So we got doctor Runald coming up at
about ten minutes from I'm very excited about that. Get
all fantasy football questions in. We got now Florida stories
and what is today's edition of Hell There? Now we're
playing four, and I'll make sure I get this right.
Ice Cube tickets in the Truth to Power four Decades
of Attitude North American Tour that's October the seventeenth inside
Tota Center. Oh, you can get in for sixty five bucks.
That sound terrible And here's the one thing. I know
you'd make fun of my stadium. But it's not a
bad seat in the place. Yeah, it's small, so there's
not a bad speed in the house. Not small, small twenty.
We're mid size with the ability to expand, and we
will expand once we win a national championship, which we
being right around the corner. Some places go up to
like one hundred and five years is forty. It's small? Well,
I mean how many there's two hundred and five in
size would be sixty. We go to sixty, easy, be
glad to I mean soon. I wasn't say tomorrow. Do
you want me to bring up the list of the
big twelve stadiums. We just built a taj Mahall, a
football operations center. We don't have time. We need a
construction break. All right, you said it's not small, so
I'm pulling up big twelve stadiums by capacity. Oh wait,
well I'm thinking okay, probably Iowa State's small Baylors is
not huge. TC uses big. But no, whatdy ever? Goes mean?
Build all you want to? You should build what you
should build? A Soli Virginia sixty, Texas Tech sixty AMG
cars forty five, Oklahoma State's fifty five. Okay, I'm trying
to find one small. Cincinnati is forty as well. Yeah. Yeah,
So you're tied for last out of sixteen. That's fine,
that's small, but we can get big in them in
don't click that twelve fifty four Sports Talk seven. It
is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross and I could
go for something else besides this topic of conversation right now. Oh,
I'm sorry. Arizona's got fitty. Arizona State fifty three. McClain
Stadium's got forty five. Yeah, it's not that super and
they built a new, brand new place only foot only
put forty five in there. Kansas State's fitty, as is Kansas.
Oh you're smaller Kansas football. By the way, I forgot
to pay off of my teas earlier. Go ahead, I am.
I'm not saying one hundred percent convinced, but I'm ninety
five percent events that Dana and Joe are back next year.
Did you know what part of that the reason why
I think of that is interesting, Well, that could be
also part of it, but there's already so many open
jobs right now. Angels, Atlanta, Kansas Kansas, Baltimoreansas, Texas. If
you're gonna, if you're going to if you gotta let
people go, you gotta you gotta let these people go
so you can go get jobs, you can go find
the top candiates because you've got so many different open spots.
Am I right about that? Don't you think you probably
don't want to be you don't know a way two
weeks and make the decisions searching and late in the game. Yeah,
that's true. So, by the way, another thing that I
failed to mention, and we will do this real quick.
Becau's got about a minute left to go. You know,
we got another NFL eight thirty game on Sunday morning. Yes,
I will not be getting up. Guess what we're gonna
be doing in the next handful of years. We're gonna
get seventeen of those things we might it's is it?
It's like seven or eight this year. Yeah, you're gonna
keep doing this because I guess the ratings are good
NFL trash fantastic. Well's nine thirty in the East. People
are by nine thirty. Yeah, Man City and Brentford at
ten thirty. That's all I'll get up for that, Okay,
you and three others. But my point is this nine
to thirty in the East, in the central's eight thirty
now the mountain times. On the Pacific there are sleeping
but nine thirties for most of the population is in
this country. You're gonna that's a huge audience. It's that's
watching these games. I'm not doing it like I would
never watch Cleveland, Minnesota unless I was forced to. Now
it's gonna be available for me as I'm cooking breakfast
Sunday morning, it's gonna be on TV. I'm gon watch. Yeah,
it's Dylan Gabriel versus uh McCarthy still not playing. It's
Carson went Carson Wentz. He Carson, You're getting up in
the morning for Dylan Gabriel versus Carson Wentz. I'm gonna
stare at it, but I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna have
it on cooking breakfast. Yeah, what are you making breakfast? Tacos?
Lab jacks, No kind of tacos. Probably gonna go potato
and egg Oh really yeah? Wow though, Brian potatoes O'Brien.
But on whever you know you go with the that's
an underrated classic. I say maybe I should go to Walmart.
You should get you some joy soda sand Manuel. That's
the good stuff. I just like you speaking Spanish Spanglish
to me that it's the most it's it's the best
thing you've done the hist from Walmart. Plus it can
be to your door within an hour. Am I gonna
pay extra for it? Can't drop your name and get smart?
Plus is free if you want an hour, it's gonna
cast you a couple bucks. That's nothing. I can do it,
all right. Doctor Rotto is up next. We'll get to
his thoughts on the NFL week number What are we
in week number five? We're gonna be about a third
away season done after this week? Season one. That moves
too fast? It just does Doctor Rotal for your fantasy advice.
Next on seven ninety, this is the Matt Thomas Show
with Ross Waiver. Claims have to be made.
Speaker 25: And I've got trade proposals fly in my way.
Speaker 20: My first round pig.
Speaker 2: Turned out to be a big flop.
Speaker 25: I don't know which wide receiver I need to dry up.
Doctor Routo gave me the news's I really don't know
what else you do. My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've
got a bad keys of Fair to save me.
Speaker 3: With.
Speaker 2: It is the fastest thirty minutes in major market sports radio.
We bring to you the wildly respected Dr Roto on
Sports Talk seven ninety in our second decade, Doctor rod
O Howard things.
Speaker 8: Things are great, empty ready to go. As a tough
week really between bye weeks, between the injuries, all these
injuries at running back especially, we just got to scrape through.
But there are some players I really like and I
want to tell people about, so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take your phone calls in the next
segment of the show. If you want to get on
a waiting list, you may do so at seven one
three two one two five seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ninety First and foremost, we
don't ever like I like to hold off on the
Texan stuff. But since there's so many injuries in his
Baltimore situation, first of all, who he playing on the
skill position side for the Ravens. Now that Lamar Jackson
did not practice again today, the perception is he's not
going to play, And how does that affect with all
the defensive injuries that raven have maybe thrown in a
few extra Texans skill position players.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the Texans are really interesting this week.
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 8: I mean c J. Stroud interesting, Woody Marx, we talked
about Woody Marx finally right, he finally got the football.
Let's do more more Woody Marks. Please love Nico Collins.
And my real favorite player of the week is Dalton Schultz.
The Ravens are epically bad against tight ends. Schultz to me,
really is the second target here. I know Christian Kirk
is evolving, but I mean this should be a field
d for Schultz where maybe sixty yards and a touchdown.
But you've got to think that the Texans have a
real good shot here against Baltimore with Cooper rushing kind
of a mess. Obviously gonna start Derrick Henry. You're obviously
gonna start Jay Flowers and probably Mark Andrews.
Speaker 2: And that's it, all right there you go on that.
So you got Texans or Ravens players, That's what doctor
Roto has you. We've got a quarterback change in Cleveland
to that help them out this week on the road
in London against Minnesota.
Speaker 8: No, but I think Joe Flock would have gotten killed two.
I mean, Flaccos just has no more mobility anymore. I
think he's best served as a guy who if there's
an injury, you can play him for three weeks and
that's about it. Here's what we know about Dylan Gabriel.
He's got a really fast release, and he played at
Ardon and he's a you know, I mean, so he's
he's been in the big games before. But he's got
a very quick release and he's gonna need that quick
release against Minnesota's pass rush.
Speaker 2: So take a look.
Speaker 8: I mean, Quinsawn Judkins is a must play. I don't
care how good the Vikings defense is. Judkins is a
great player. Jerry Judy's in play, David Jokhu's fine. Keep
your eyes on Isaiah Bond. I really believe had he
not had all that stuff with him in college, she
probably would have been a Round two pick. So they
were able to sign him pretty much after the draft
was over as an undrafted free agent. I think that
he's going to emerge, especially because Cedric Tillman is out
with a hamstring injury. They're gonna need a second receiver,
and I think that second receiver is bonded.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Cincinnati. They don't score touchdowns anymore.
So I've and I do have T Higgins, Jamar Chase
and there's plenty of positional players there for the Bengals
have used. How bad is that offensive situation there in
the Natty?
Speaker 8: Look, I think the only thing we have going for
us this week, if you have anybody on Cincinnati, is
that Detroit tends to get into high scoring games. Right
the Detroit's defense is better, but if they are, if
they're weak anywhere, it's in the secondary. Jake Browning is
not as bad as he's looked. He's just played two
really good defenses. I think they've got to figure out
a way to get Chase involved. They have to figure
out a way to get T Higgins involved. Look, Zach Taylor.
They could go get Russell Wilson. They can go get guys.
He wants to stay with Jake Browning. He believes in him.
I think we've got to give Cincinnati one more week
this week. I just don't really like Chase brown that
much because Detroit's run defense is very good. On the
other side, Listen, Jamiir Gibbs, we know as a superstar,
we get that. I'mal Ross Saint. Brown is in a
great spot. I think David Montgomery scores. He didn't do
it last week. It's one of those things where oh
the guy disappointed me one week, but he plays out
of the next. I think Montgomery scores this.
Speaker 2: Week, all right, Kandae that he put it together last
week and their best offensive performance against at Baltimore team.
Can they do it two weeks in a row Monday
night at Jacksonville.
Speaker 8: I think they can. I think Xavier Worthy being back
is huge this way. You're using Hollywood Brown on Juju
Smith Schuster as needed, right because you have your number
one guy. You have Travis Kelcey Mahomes. I think is
a great play this week if you have Mahomes. I
know that Jacksonville has done a good job of takeaways,
but I'm not really worried about that here. Mahomes is
too smart for that.
Speaker 2: Keep your eye.
Speaker 8: And a guy named Brishard Smith, Okay, Isaiah Pacheco is
not good, Cream Hunt is not good. Breshard Smith is
getting more snaps, and I think that's what you have
to look at here. So in week two we had
five snaps in week three at eight last week against
Baltimore nineteen, right, what does that tell you tells you
that they're going to try to get him the ball more.
He is the guy if you need a running back
and you want to stash somebody on your bench, Brishard
Smith's the guy would stash right now, because if he
becomes a starting running back on Kansas City, you're gonna
wish it had him.
Speaker 2: All right. Dallas scored forty at home last week and
they go to the MetLife citi Eman new forty on
the Jets.
Speaker 8: They might I mean the Jets. You think Aaron Glenn
would come in and fix this mess. No, it seemed
like the Jets are still the Jets. But in terms
of the Jets. Four guys that you will play, you
will play justin fields. Certainly against Dallas you'll play Breise
Hall for sure, you will play Garrett Wilson. And yes,
you'll play Jason Taylor's son, Mason Taylor. I mean, look
at what you know Green Bay Dallas. Dallas does not
do great against tight ends. Mason Taylor's turning into their
number two target. Let me give you a player for
the Jets. If you're desperate for a running back, Braylen
Allen is going to be out pretty much for the
restless season. This kid, Isaiah Davis can catch a little,
can run a little. If you're in desperate mode, you're
in a deep league. He should probably get about ten
touches this week. I'm not saying he's great, but it's
Week five. There's bye weeks, so we have issues.
Speaker 2: Las Vegas got the running game going a certain boys.
He stayed running back, had his best game, couple of
touchdowns out of the backfield and one rushing as well.
Can you do that for a second story week as
the Raiders go to Indianapolis.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean we've been waiting for this for how
long we've been Where was genty? Where was genty? We
finally starw Genty. I mean, he is that good. I
think they have to lean on him. Brock Bowers, he's
not one hundred percent. We know that. Michael Mayer not
one hundred percent, so they're not going to lean on
the tight end. I think Jacobe Myers is in a
good spot this week, but really Genty is great situations,
so I think you play him on the other side.
Alec Pierce is out once again. Michael Pittman is not
one hundred percent. I really obviously, we love Jonathan Taylor.
We love Tyler Warren this week. Tyler Warren is a
smash play So, I mean, the Raiders run a lot
of Cover three defense and Warren it's one that so
get him in.
Speaker 2: This will not be a Super Bowl preview Miami at Carolina.
But I'm curious how the Dolphins now go without Tyreek
Hill for probably the rest of the season.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think you want to focus on a
few guys. One is obviously Devana chan who is going
to get all the Carris he can handle. Two Jalen Wattle,
the new number one receiver. Whenever Tyreek has been injured
in the past, Waddle has stepped up. I like Maleik Washington.
Malik Washington is a guy who, look, you're in a
twelve team league for you need a receiver, Washington will
be a starter there. He's not sensational, but it's good
enough about ten Fantasy points a week. Darren Walla looked
really good empty right. It came in at a couple touchdowns.
I don't know if we could expect that every week,
but he's certainly in play for Carolina. I don't know
if people saw this. Chuba Hubbard is out with a
calf injury. Jatavian Sanders is out. Bryce Young I do
think is playable against his bad Miami defense. Rico Dowdell.
Let's not forget this guy doesn't suck. He was good
for Dallas last year and to Troy McMillan.
Speaker 2: As a mus start, Jackson dog gets a win in
his first start. Will he do make it two straight
at New Orleans?
Speaker 8: You know I'm gonna call this one. I'm gonna call
the Saints upset here I am. Look, the Giants are
coming off an emotional win at home. Okay, they played
really well, but you just lost Malik Neighbors. I think
people saw Jackson Dard and what the Giants want to do.
They want to make it like a college style offense.
The guy only threw what was it, twenty passes last week,
so I don't think they're gonna be throwing the ball everywhere. Obviously,
we like Skataboo. I like Darius Slayton a ton this
week because the Saints are a pass funnel defense. I
don't hate wan Dale Robinson. But on the other side,
I'm going to give you a couple of guys. First
of all, Alvin Kamara. They may trade him at any
point soon, so they could want to give him carries.
I love Chris Olave and I love Rashid Shaheed. The
Giants are terrible in the back end. If Spencer Rattler's
willing to take a chance downfield, Shaheed could be the
beneficiary of a long distance touchdown.
Speaker 2: All right, last one for me, Doctor Roto. I put
in Drake May last week. Was very pleased with that.
New England's on a sexy team. Probably not going to
contend in the AFC East, but that's what doesn't mean
they can't be helpful fantasy wise, and Drake May and
his skill position players put up similar numbers this week
going on a Sunday night game at Buffalo.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a divisional game, right, I think the reason
I don't look, who's your other quarterback MC besides May?
Speaker 2: That would be a certain but named player, Kyler Murray.
Speaker 8: Ah Okay, so yeah, I guess how are we playing
Drake May? I'm playing Kyler this week as am I.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: The thing is is that, look, the way beat Buffalo
is to run the football a ton. You just got
to keep running it, running it, running it, because that's
their weakness and the Patriots like to do that. They
give the ball to Stevenson, they give the ball to Henderson,
they give the ball to Antonio Gibson. So I like,
you know, I like Drake May. I just don't know
if I love him. This week, Vegas only thinks they're
going to score about twenty points. The Cardinals are in
a position where they really should slam. They don't have
James Connor, they don't have Trey Benson. Look, Michael Carter
is not a generational talent. We're going to see a
lot of Kyler throwing a Marvin Harrison and throwing it
to Trey McBride.
Speaker 2: All right, time now, ROSSI to get your obligatory question
in for your one and three. Sorry as team Oh,
first of all, I'm in multiple leagues, Matt, and we're
looking at the championship ready. In some other spots, we've
had some injuries. But keep it philosophical. You mentioned, of course,
a lot of injuries and some buys and all that
type stuff. Just curious some tight ends, you're thinking I
could have a chance to get a touchdown and be
some good streamers, and the same thing for quarterbacks who
could maybe perform.
Speaker 8: Oh, all right, give me a second on this one.
I want to let me. I want to look this
up for you models.
Speaker 2: You know streams. Do you take a break, Let's take
a break an answer already?
Speaker 8: Of course I have an answer already.
Speaker 4: That's what I do.
Speaker 2: Okaye.
Speaker 8: So, so, first of all, I really like I do.
I like Dalton Schultz a lot. I think he's in
a great spot this week. I like Brenton Strange. I
think Stranger is in a good spot this week. How
about THEO Johnson? THEO Johnson in a better spot. And
we saw that Dart used him last week. Quarterbacks that
I think that are interesting.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 8: I like Daniel Jones. I like oh, Spencer Rattler, don't laugh.
Speaker 3: I like C. J.
Speaker 8: Stroud and Spencer Rattler and Justin Fields. I think the
way to beat the Giants is if you can withstand
the pass rush, throw the ball deep. Rattler may have
the best game he's gonna have all season. I think
Stroud's gonna have one of the best games that he's
had all season. So and Justin Fields against Dallas all day,
all day.
Speaker 2: All right, there it is, ladies and gentlemen, your opportunity
to get questions for Doc Torotto Are next one fourteen
on Sports Talk seven ninety seven one three two one
two five seven ninety Everybody Space and the Candy Racis Fantasy.
Speaker 20: Take a rock.
Speaker 5: Side?
Speaker 2: Are you gens?
Speaker 18: Welcome to.
Speaker 16: We?
Speaker 20: Allright?
Speaker 2: We got people that are ready to talk to the
one and only Doctor Rode here on Sports Talk seven
ninety If you want to get in for the good
doctors seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two, one two five seven ninety we'll
start with Brian on seven ninety for doctor Rode'll go ahead, Brian.
Speaker 6: Thank you, hey, Doctor Rode, and gentlemen, I have two questions,
one uh Addison or Godwin and the other is the
slex But I think you already answered it, and that
was Olave or Tucker from a camp.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh look, I don't dislike Sean Tucker, but you're
playing Alave, right. Shawn Tucker is a guy who we're
hoping that gets ten to twelve touches. Alave is a
guy who gets ten to twelve targets, right, So he's
all in. If there's a weakness of the Seattle defense,
it's against slot receivers. So I think Godwin is very
sneaky this week, and I think he's a good start.
So I'm going goblin olave.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Alex for doctor Ronal. Go ahead, Alex,
hey dog, thank I mean yeah, I was just wondering
should I drop Joe Mixon and should I.
Speaker 16: Trade up or Stefan d Thank you?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 8: First of all, Sadly, you never should have drafted Joe Mixon.
I think that guy, sadly is done. I'm cutting Cooper Cup.
I don't see a pathway. Really, you got JSN, you
got this kid, Tory Horton, you got this other young guy,
Elijah Arroyo. I mean, Cup is a nice but I'm
cutting him in a Harvey. Yeah, who took Joe Mixon.
He wasn't even at OTA's.
Speaker 2: I mean that was all right, teach his own. Let's
go next to Uh Geo in a Taska Sita for
doctor Rode. Go ahead, Geo.
Speaker 3: Here rodo.
Speaker 26: So I drafted uh Joe Burrow and J J. McCarthy,
and they're both of course they're out. I'm at one
in three right now.
Speaker 4: So I made a couple of changes to my team.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to get your thoughts on it.
Speaker 26: My only real producer was a Chan, So I made
some trades. I sent Jackson dark Latt, McConkey, and a
Chan away for Baker Mayfield, Kenneth Walker and Terry McClaren,
and then I also flipped Brian Thomas Junior for Camps Kataboo.
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts on me?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 8: Not my favorite deal. Gotta be honest with you, you
know when people ask me that, and I know to
you g because you're a great caller and I appreciate
you always listening. I can't help you after you've already
done something.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he wants you. He wants you to verify
like I'm a good general manager. Rono, you just shot
him down, poor Geo. Big listeners show too. That's too bad.
Oh well let's go to uh Keso. What's your chilikin
question for doctor ron? Okay?
Speaker 3: So thank of it?
Speaker 27: For Texas, so I had uh, I had Lamar Jackson
and Cheba Hubbard. Obviously they're both out, So I picked
up Jackson, Dart and oh James, Oh, Chris Rodriguez. I'm
not thrilled about Rodriguez.
Speaker 5: Are we thinking anything about that?
Speaker 10: And is Addison's last week?
Speaker 27: An outlier or should we expect more big sayings?
Speaker 8: Thanks, no, no, Jordan Addison's good, right, I mean what
makes for Addison even great almost is that you have
to put your best guy on Jefferson. You also have
Hawkinson in the middle left field, so Addison gets to
play against the other team's worst cornerback. That's that's a feast, right,
So so long as there's time to throw, Addison is
normally open. So look, I love Jackson Dart. I think
Jackson Dart, though, has some limitations. He's a rookie, right,
it's a first first game. How did they use him?
He ran a ton, he didn't throw a lot. He
didn't throw a lot to spataboo, right, he took a
couple of shots downfield to neighbors. Is he gonna do that?
What is he gonna do this week without neighbors? What
is he gonna do with Darius Slayton? So we don't
know what we don't know? I think we know that
Dart is exciting. We know that he's got mobility, which
is good. But look, he's gonna play some good defenses.
And the more these guys see him, the harder it is.
So do I hate Dart No. I think he's probably
worth sixteen to eighteen points a week, but I don't
know if he's winning you a fantasy league.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you Rote for that. Let's go to
the back on the phones at seven one three, two
one two five seven Anti Josh is with us for
doctor Rodoll. Go ahead, Josh.
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 28: I got a real problem here with running backs. I
need three of these running backs between a Jane Mason,
Willie Marks, et In or Pollard.
Speaker 3: I need three.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm going Woody h Han and Etn.
Speaker 2: Look.
Speaker 8: I like Jordan Mason, but you can't run on Cleveland
and it's not like he catches the football a ton.
That other guy was in there. So I think those
are the three you go with.
Speaker 2: All right, let's continue on and talk to a Reethe
on seven one. Go ahead Reese for doctor Rodo.
Speaker 19: Hey, Yes, I got a trade question.
Speaker 24: I'm in the super Flex League and Jonathan Taylor and
John Robinson. I lost neighbors and stuck with Mike Evans,
Davonte Smith, and a couple other ones with g Trey
Davonte Williams for Cortland Sutton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might do that.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm Gravante's fine. They're gonna play Jaden Blue
this week. I mean there's no Miles Sanders, but Portland
Sutton's number one and a good team. So yeah, I
mean you've got Taylor and Jean Robinson. You're solid, So
go get something.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call. Email in what he marks?
Chris Godwin or Amari de Marcis Demersado? Is that a
dead Demarcata? What the hell is that he's in Arizona?
Come on, man, Yeah, he doesn't win. You know what,
I don't need to let me tell you something. I
love to be spend time with my family. I love friends.
I don't need to know who amar Demarcado is. You
do Roto because you have friends too, I do. Yeah,
you walk that back. Go ahead with Michael Carter. What
is going to be the split?
Speaker 8: Let's go wood Let's go Woody, Let's go on.
Speaker 2: Are you what is your what is your four week
projection on him? Do you think he really give me
an RB wanner at this point?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I do, because he's one of those guys. He can
catch the football really well.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 8: This guy played at Mississippi State. They played at USC
it wasn't like he played at Grand Valley State, where
he was in places that people didn't know. So and
he was one of the best receiving backs in all
of college football. So I mean he played with good
quarterbacks too. So look, Nick Chubb can't do enough. And
if the offensive line isn't opening a hole, how is
Nick Chubb at his five two speed gonna run through
that hole? He's not. I think they got to use
Woody Marks more.
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb online four wants to talk to you about
his forty time. Let's go to a Cassidy on seven.
Unty Cassidy, your question for doctor Roto.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I was looking at tight end.
Speaker 10: I need to know Mark Andrews or zach Ertz.
Speaker 8: Yeah, gimme Ertz right. Jayden Daniels is back. He always
has a connection with Ertz. I don't know, man. I
don't think Lamar Jackson's playing. I think Cooper Rush is
a bit of a mess. Sometimes he's good, sometimes he's
really bad going in against the Texans defense, not where
I want him to be. Andrews is spotty, give me,
give me zach Ertz.
Speaker 2: All right, And last one belongs to Brian on seven
Honty Brian, what is your question for doctor Roto Hey?
Speaker 16: Thanks roto standard scoring league mainly receivers. Lad got Ladd
McConkey could all throwing Travis Kelsey as a flex tight
end to go along with Sam Laporta or Shad or.
Speaker 19: Go at Chris the lave and.
Speaker 5: He got two of those?
Speaker 19: So which which would be.
Speaker 5: The best of the play? So all right?
Speaker 8: I think the safest plays are a lave in Ladd mcconkeye.
I know Lat McConkie's been disappointing. I have him in
a few leagues myself. I think this is the week
he get he turns it around. Washington's defense is bad.
That pass defense is really bad. And I think, look
Quentin Johnston, he's actually catching the balls that he's been
dropping the last two years. But you got to get
if you want to be a great team, Ladd McConkie's
got to be part of that solution right right now.
They're a good team, but they're a good team lost
of the Giants. You've got to get Lad involved. I
think Ladd has a big week. Woody Wattle or Ladd
for a flex? What do you think Waddle? I mean
you're talking about the number one receiver on that team right.
Speaker 2: Now, Ladies generally ask you once a week to listen
very closely to Doctor Rodal. He's gonna give you someone

Speaker 8: Imagine the Dolphins will be better without Tyreek Hill because
he's such a talented player. But you've got to think
that they're gonna rely in Savana Chan. I mean, how
do you not give this guy the ball against Carolina
who can't stop the run. How do you not throw
him out of the backfield? I mean, if he was
ever gonna get thirty fantasy points, it's gonna start now,
Devona Chan, Lock of the week.

An anonymous TikTok user is getting thousands of US likes
and comments on videos that he's doing at Coastal Carolina
University Coastal Carolina. Okay, yep, he's going to various campus landmarks. Boys,
you know what he's doing. No, he's urinating on them.
Oh you kids today. The entire ordeal is part of
a larger trend of campus and quote city pissars throughout
the country. Would you say? Okay? Piers. The videos from
the account CCU pen word dates back to September, the first,
each showing a stream of liquid aimed at a known
spot on the campus. A video at Coastal Carolina's logo
embedded in the campus sidewalk at one hundred and eighteen
thousand views over twelve thousand likes, and three hundred comments.
One taken outside of tradition, Hall got nearly fifty eight
thousand views and five thousand likes. Costa Carolina University did
not respond to questions about whether these schools aware of
the saga taking place on campus, or what kinds of
repercussions a person would face if caught. Question for both
of you, ROSSI, did you ever urinate on something at
the University of Texas? I mean probably the grounds around
near the stadium. All right, Jonathan, you have gone to
two different schools. Have urinated in any area that should
have been urinated on at either Western Kentucky or at SFA.
Never Now I'm thinking I probably should have. No, I'm not. No,
it's not to tend to be proud of I never
yeurinated anywhere at U of H. I should have urinated
in bathrooms, yes, of course by Cougar place. No, And that,
my friends, is my non Florida story. Coasta Carolina. I'd
be careful where you step. You guys are next. He's
careful where you step. I will go next. Then I
got some work to do, believe it or not. Texas
Tech kind of maybe Lubbock ish Texas Tech Texas tech adjacent.
Let's just put it down way so partly Lubbock as well. Matt.
Let me tell you a story of a man who
lived in Oregon. His name is John Wiley. And you
remember published Publisher's Clearinghouse, correct man, Oh yeah, guaranteed you riches.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: In twenty twelve, he was greeted by the Publisher's Clearinghouse
Prize Patrol and he was gifted as the recipient of
a lifetime fortune guaranteed five thousand dollars a week for life.
That's a that's good money from Publisher's Clearinghouse. Would you
quit your life and just do what you were doing
off of five thousand a week? Well, that yes, I would.
That's what John Wiley did as he received an annual
check for two hundred and sixty thousand dollars every January.
I think I know where this is going. The money
let him retire. He bought a house on six acres
in Bellingham, Washington. Unfortunately, Publishers Clearinghouse went bankrupt and now
mister Wiley, after they filed bankruptcy without warning to him
or other winners, is left out in the lurch, saying, quote,
it feels like a nightmare and he hasn't worked in
more than a decade, cannot find a job, and bills
are piling up. He has sold off items such as
a jet ski and his trailer, but he still expects
to lose his home. Kind of a sad story, but
I just found it interesting that he won five thousand
dollars a week for life and they've been doing this
for decades. Yes, now I understand why it went out
of business, because magazines are out of business. He is
still he is at one of at least ten winners
still owed money that they will likely never receive. A
conglomerate ARB Interactive paid seven point one million dollars to
buy publisher's clearinghouse, but it announced it would only honor
prizes one after it took over in July. It is
not honoring prizes one before it purchased the entity. I
actually feel sorry for him. He won the contest. Those
things are hard to win. M hm. He should be
getting the money for the foreseeing the future a publisher
clearing house, they collapsed after a sharp post pandemic decline.
They went from nearly nine hundred million dollars in annual
revenue pre COVID to just one hundred and eighty million
dollars per Last year they made nine hundred million dollars. Wow,
I didn't know that these rememories come to They go
to your house, they show you that big check and
put it, give you a bunch of flowers and a
bunch of balloons and stuff. Public Sure's clearinghouse also had
to settle eighteen million dollars of a fine with a
with the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive practices that tricked
people into thinking they had to buy products to improve
their sweepstick odds. The company filed for bankruptcy the same month.
All right, that you're non Florida story, Thank you very much.
Kind of a sad one. It's a sad one. I
don't know they're talking about cautionary tale. What do you
ran to talk about ping on stuff? I mean it happens,
that's true. Actually you're the original. Oh they're calling them
the CCR pissers, CCU pissers. Okay, founded by Matt Thomas.
Speaker 11: Not me.
Speaker 2: When I've never been to Colastal Caroline. Sure, it's great school, Jonathan.
Speaker 7: What do you got, uh listener discretion advised? Oh Rose
Minisse thirty nine. Appeared in court on September eighteenth, where
she faced charges of illegal possession of human tissues. The
BBC reported Minisse is a cleaner at a hospital maternity
ward in eastern upum Alonga, South Africa. Security officers were
tipped off that she was seeking buyers for human body tissues.
They arrested her with a plastic bag act of human placentas.
Police said Minissey might face charges feature charges and she
is due back in court in October. I advise everybody
what kind of tissue we're talking about, and any any
body testes, I'm assuming they were inside.
Speaker 19: I don't.
Speaker 20: I don't.
Speaker 2: I'll took the fine arts through. I don't know. Alright,
thank you for that. I don't really know what to
say except those are not Flora stories.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that was. I don't know where that story
came from. I think you need more detail were talking about.
I mean, just like scan, I mean I can get
for this. No, I'm sorry, I feel like it was.
It was as good for a brief story. You're looking
for brevity. I get you. We got a uage cougar
call wants to get in here, solder that before we
get to hell here not a nice segue. John on
seven Hoy, Hello John.
Speaker 10: Cool.
Speaker 15: So, uh yeah, I call it about the Tech and
you of aged, you know, I was kind of doing
some I don't understand how Tech became this football powerhouse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they bought their way this year, but.
Speaker 22: If you look at the Vancouver still lead the head
to head history of the teams, and it's been a
bad you know, six seven years, and at least we
have a freaking New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, a
New Year's six Bowl victory the last fifteen years, you know,
and it's at least we had some glory years.
Speaker 10: Tech's never had football glory years.
Speaker 3: In my life.
Speaker 15: And I'm fifty two years old, so you know, that's
where it stands with me. And at least we could
have at least we've had some great years and great teams,
and they've always pretty much sucked.
Speaker 2: So thanks guys, thank you. Uh No, the reason why
tex Attack is where they are today, it's because they
are now putting in millions and millions of dollar actually
one person is millions and millions of dollars in the
program to pay athlete and it's above board. I mean,
to the best I guess I don't know. I mean,
the nil game at Texas Tech is as strong as
it gets you do you know that? And I wish
I had the absolute number in front of me. I
think Texas techs nil game compared. People are trying figure
out what's going to happen to Oklahoma State. And part
of the reason Whyloma State is kind of behind a
little bit ross is because their nil money is not great.
I want to say, and I'm gonna do go ahead,
promote your Instagram at Instagrat's RV if you'd like to
follow me. People are calling me an idiot for saying
that the city of Houston needs to move on from
the Oilers and acting like they still play, and some
people have okay with me. You can check that out
at sports RV on Instagram. I would appreciate a follow.
So Texas TeX's nil money program wide apparently, according to
some reports, is fifty five million dollars. Now that's A
and M and Texas strong, right, I mean, yes, Oklahoma
State is trying to think the The story I'm reading
on on three is they're spending ten million dollars at
least less that they are not in the top twenty five.
When it comes to spending money, really, yeah, last year
there were twenty five teams that paid over fifteen million dollars.
This is twenty twenty three, twenty four. Last year they
spent two point seven on an al. So, yeah, it's
gonna come down to who has the money. And as
long as Cody Campbell, that big oil and gas guy
has got money, not throw away, but money he can
disperse to other people. They don't make the playoff, he's
thrown it away. How far do they have to get
before you say, Cody Campbell money, we'll spend. Oh, Cody
Campbell's they got to go to the playoffs. But what
if they what if they're on the first round, that's fine, Okay,
I mean again, compared to where they've been. I mean,
what when we think of Texas Tech Athletics, we think
of football. We think of seven and five every year?
Do we not six and six in there? Okay, maybe
maybe a four, you get my drift. Yes, they're they're
a top twenty program. They're double digit favorite on the road.
They're supposed to win tomorrow's game. Boom, Cody's money is working.
They have a defense for the first time in what
twenty five thirty years somewhere in that range, Not that
I've been around watching sports. Yeah, that's probably the first
time ever. All right, let's do this. Let's go to
