  • 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.

Draft Guru on Rockets 2nd Round Options? | Who's Next Jalen Brunson or Ajay Mitchell?
Q: Is there a specific player who stands out as a realistic 39th pick for Houston, based on consensus boards?
Emmanuel Sharpe is highlighted as a realistic 39th pick due to his size, defense, and shooting trajectory, with potential to contribute early and appeal to local fans.
Draft Guru on Rockets 2nd Round Options? | Who's Next Jalen Brunson or Ajay Mitchell?
Q: What kind of players should the Rockets target in the late first to early second round given the current depth of the draft?
Targets should be players who can contribute quickly, bring shooting and defense, and fit a two-way or bench role rather than lengthy development projects, with some emphasis on veterans who can adapt and push for immediate roles.
How can Texans Make Super Bowl Run? | How can DeMeco Improve? | John McClain Joins Us!
Q: What are the main challenges with Nick Caley and the offense, and where does Stroud fit in the system?
The discussion suggests that Caley's play-calling and offensive approach need refinement in his second year, with Stroud handling more responsibilities and potentially needing a lighter load if necessary. The point is made that development is ongoing and better running game support would help Stroud perform more consistently.
How can Texans Make Super Bowl Run? | How can DeMeco Improve? | John McClain Joins Us!
Q: Have you seen progress from DeMeco? And what does need to get better for him to make that Super Bowl run?
McClain notes that while DeMeco Ryans has improved the defense and sparked growing confidence, the offensive side, especially the play calling, clock management, and some coaching hires, need to mature for Houston to contend for a title. He also points out that the offense must improve the running game and protect the quarterback to sustain success.
Nico Collins Extension: Bad Idea? | EJ Speed: Huge Loss? | Texans Free Agent Needs?
Q: What did you think of the Nico Collins extension and why were they willing to do this?
The extension is viewed as a no-brainer due to Collins' consistent production and demeanor, paired with the team's need to secure reliable targets for CJ Stroud; the deal also aligns with building a two-year window and managing the salary cap as they preserve core pieces.
