  • 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.

Tytus Howard Trade: Big Mistake? | RB David Montgomery: Perfect Texans fit? | Stroud's New QB Guru?
Q: What was your immediate reaction to the Tytus Howard trade?
The move surprised me because Howard was versatile and valuable, but the cap savings and a clear plan to reallocate resources in a way that could strengthen multiple positions in the near term made it understandable, especially given the age and cost of keeping him. It signals a value-based approach to roster building rather than simply chasing a single player.
Can Rockets Learn from Udoka's Celtics Experience? | Celtics Insider Zach LeBlanc Joins Us!
Q: How did Udoka affect player development and accountability according to the Celtics experience?
Udoka held players accountable, helped develop Tatum and Brown, and shifted the culture toward accountability, though there were concerns about balancing offense and defense.
Can Rockets Learn from Udoka's Celtics Experience? | Celtics Insider Zach LeBlanc Joins Us!
Q: What was the fan and media perception of Udoka's offense during his time in Boston?
There was criticism that the offense could become stagnant and relied too much on isolations, even as the defense was elite; fans believed the team needed more ball movement and additional offensive tools.
CJ Stroud, Equal to Sam Darnold? | Will Tank Dell Help? | Texans Free Agent Fits?
Q: How do you see this NFL draft matching up with the Texans' needs?
It's a deep tight end and interior O-line draft, which aligns well with what the Texans need.
CJ Stroud, Equal to Sam Darnold? | Will Tank Dell Help? | Texans Free Agent Fits?
Q: How would you approach free agency in a couple of weeks?
Target positions of need like running backs, where there's more value compared to wide receivers.
