  • Love the show

    Payne & Pendergast make other sports radio shows sound like that character Bulldog from Frasier.

    If I miss y’all in the morning I still listen to you in the afternoon. I’d rather get outdated news than listen to hosts I don’t like.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FULL SHOW - Tuesday, March 31st
Q: What stood out most about the Astros' performance and the pitching staff in the early season?
The standout was Lance McCullers' seven-inning, one-run gem that suggested a significant upturn in form and endurance, complemented by a stronger offensive showing led by Altuve and Alvarez, and a generally improved bullpen management.
HOUR 3 - Rockets Season Slipping Away + Could We See Clamoring for Omar Lopez to be Manager? + Blankenship Excited to Play for DeMeco
Q: What does it sound like when a player gets a call from DeMeco Ryans and is excited about joining the team?
Reed Blankenship describes the moment of contact from DeMeco Ryans as very affirming, conveying that Houston really wanted him and that he felt valued as a player and person, which helped seal the decision.
Texans EVP/GM Nick Caserio Joins Us to Talk Trades, Draft & More
Q: What's the status of cap space heading into free agency?
Caserio explains there isn't a single answer; space is created through a mix of contract adjustments, potential auto-conversions, and conversations with players and agents to set up options for the new league year.
FULL SHOW - Thursday, March 5th
Q: What led to the David Montgomery trade and how does he fit into the Texans' offense?
Caserio described Montgomery as a productive, leadership-driven player whose previous teams valued his toughness and consistency, and he framed the trade as adding a cost-controlled, high-impact back to bolster the offense while keeping cap flexibility.
Was Tytus Agitating for an Extension? + Is an Anderson Extension Coming?
Q: Do you agree with the assessment that Will Anderson Jr. is even better than what the Texans thought they were getting when they moved up from 12 to 3 to get him?
Yes, it's likely that while they expected him to be great, he has exceeded those expectations.
