  • Clint and who?

    The show is not interesting I not have a itch that won’t go away. Clint doesn’t even like our basic milk in Texas because he’s a Coleman kid. You would think that our Borden milk would be enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Texans Linebacker EJ Speed has Torn his Quadriceps Today, NOT Good Folks! + The Class of AFC South - Hour 2 Friday 05/22/26
Q: Are you confident that the Texans are the class of the AFC South?
The hosts discuss that while Houston can win the division, they don't crown them class of the division yet, noting a traffic jam at the top and Jacksonville's recent dominance as a comparison.
Your LAST Weekly Rockets Report of the Year with B. Scott!! SEASON'S END for Rockets-Big Decisions to Come Y'all!
Q: Well, what's your feel for what happens moving forward this offseason?
The guest outlines that the organization seems to be comfortable with running it back but with margins improved by internal development and addressing injury-related gaps, while signaling sharp focus on adding shooting and replacing older, less productive bench pieces.
Can this Houston Texans Defense Really Get EVEN BETTER Next Season?!
Q: Is the O-line enough of a priority to overhaul, or can the defense carry more weight this season?
The consensus is that the O-line remains a concern, and while the defense can improve, the offense must support its progress; the team may lean on draft and depth pieces to complement a steady core.
Can this Houston Texans Defense Really Get EVEN BETTER Next Season?!
Q: Do you think this defense will be better than last year's, and what would it take to get there?
Both hosts and McClain acknowledge the unit was elite last year, but health and depth are the critical variables; improvement hinges on staying healthy and the defense capitalizing on opportunities created by the improved run game and a sturdier interior line.
