  • Best in Houston

    Houston’s BEST sports talk show hands down. Coverage varies from upcoming developments during the offseason for the Texans to deep background on historic moments in Houston’s rich sports heritage.

    The focus of every episode is different reflecting the changing seasons. If you’re new to the series, definitely go back as far as you can for some very special interviews and reflections on events in your favorite sport.

    I listened for years especially enjoying baseball highlights and stories we’d ... more

  • The worst!!!

    I’ve tried and tried to buy in to this podcast. As a diehard Houston fan, I am embarrassed by your takes. You guys spend more time trying to clarify the others takes. It takes up half the show. I hate to say it. But I am very envious of Dallas sports radio/podcasts. Do better!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Surviving without Durant? | New Rockets Bench? | Jacked up Amen Thompson?
Q: What are you looking for from Amen Thompson in year four to make the leap to a star level?
A continued fit at the wing rather than point guard, improved decision making, and a stronger all‑around game including improved shooting and defense; with Fred back, Amen could play off-ball more and become a reliable secondary ball handler.
Early Texans 53 Man Roster? | RB Injury? | New Live 'Texans Truth Serum'
Q: What is the big decision at the tight end position?
The hosts debate Brevin Jordan vs. Cade Stover, weighing injuries, potential for blocking, and whether Stover's versatility could push him ahead, with considerations about keeping four or five tight ends given 12 personnel trends.
Walt Williams Talks his Rockets Days, Hakeem, Barkley, Steve Francis, Michael Jordan & Hootie Video!
Q: What was your first memory of playing against Michael Jordan, and how did that moment shape your view of the league?
My first NBA game had me matched up against Michael Jordan; Jordan's anticipation and skill level were immediately evident, and the moment underscored how high the bar was for any rookie entering the league, shaping my respect for preparation and competition.
Did Rockets Really Steal Undrafted Gem? | NC State Insider Breaks Him Down Quadir Copeland!
Q: What are his biggest strengths that the Rockets would value?
His elite ball-handling, length, on-ball defense, and playmaking ability stand out, with the caveat that his three-point shooting needs to be more consistent to maximize his NBA potential.
Did Rockets Really Steal Undrafted Gem? | NC State Insider Breaks Him Down Quadir Copeland!
Q: Can you tell us a little about his backstory and what shaped him as a player?
Copeland has a varied path through high school and college, with formative stops at Life Center Academy, IMG, Syracuse, McNeese, and NC State, where he developed ball handling, leadership, and a willingness to play multiple positions.
