Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten oh one
in ah Town.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition to the
Matt Thomas Show at Ross. This is Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I think I took my shirt off this morning outside
a couple of degrees warre than it was in the
last few days. Ball me it is uh, it is
definitely hoodie quarters zip oh sweatshirt.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Weather. I was born for sweatpants. Weather.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I was born for eighty one degrees in Florida today.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Friday, seven degrees.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
It'll be a beautiful weekend, sixty five seventy one sunny
on Sunday. Oh, that's nice, and you can enjoy the
day because the Texans don't play until the evening. That's right,
that's right. I'm looking at Fort Lauderdale's current weather. Fort Lauderdale, Why,
oh my god, it's eighty one degrees in Is that
where the tap is? That where the Blue Jays facility

(01:04):
is where they're meeting with Kyle Tucker, allegedly according to reports.
My guess is the report would be accurate and you
don't get to well, I guess we didn't do an
aav bet. You can't convert to Canadian dollars. I'm we're
not worried about the dollar amount, worried about the years.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
But if it's seven and a half years, is that
like eight and a half years Canadian? No, that's not
how it works. Hey, good morning everybody. It is the
Matt Thomas Show with Ross on a Friday and said,
anything goes Friday. I mean, any thing goes Friday. Anything anything. Okay,
I've had a wonderful day. Let me peel the curtain

(01:41):
back for a slight moment. On my cell phone I
have my number has been picked up by the spams
and telemarketers and I probably get on average, and I'm
not lying about this about forty spam calls a day.
They don't reach me because I silence unknown call. So
if I don't know who's calling me, it does it

(02:03):
goes right to voicemail.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, today I went on a Kansas City pregame show
with Soren Petro who will be with us coming up
at eleven o'clock today from a WHB and Kansas City,
And so I had to undo the silence on that
because I had to have this phone his phone come
the studio line come in.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't have the studio line put in my on
my phone.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
So I got a few telemarketers and I had some
fun with some telemarketers today. Yes, and unfortunately the line
that eventually got me hung up on I cannot mention
on the radio show because you heard me do it
once already.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes, I did. Were you offended by such a market
or are you finding it to be check? Check? I
think you're a sick human being. Okay, that's what I think.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
They basically asked me if I had any disabilities, and
I said, yes, I do, and then I explained what
my disability was.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You were not overly pleased with that response. I hung
up immediately. As long as you entertain.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yourself back, I can't kid with what I'm over there,
Like she goes, that's funny, m hm. So as long
as you keep your wife happy with your.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Kid for the comedy.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh, I heard one of them told you where you
could stick that disability. That is actually correct. I told
him of my disability or my enhancement, and he told
me what I could do with that enhancement.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
There you go. Hey, we got a busy show today.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
We're gonna we mentioned sore and Petro from Kansasy where
I was going to join us at eleven o'clock today. Oh,
wonderful we have I'm sorry that eleven thirty. I guess
we should apologize the telemarketing industry. You should uh for
me basically being crude and obnoxious and vile to them.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
You're wasting their time. They're wasting my time. Stop calling me.
They're not wasting your time if you don't pick up.
That's true. We have doctor Rhode at one o'clock today.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Wonderful, by the way. Jamiir Gibbs, thank you very much.
Oh what did end up with? Thirty three points? I
think something like that. Three touchdowns?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
You know you should be thanking me for you making
the playoffs. Yeah, I finally taking Jamiir Gibbs would like
I should have. I mean, I'm the premier general manager
in the league. You're Nick Assaria.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
No you're not. You make mistakes. I have four championships,
you have zero.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Nobody cares about the past. It's about the president of
the now. You're terrible, Okay, I'm not terrible enough. I'm
already in clinched a playoff spot.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
I know.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I think you might actually get your first championship.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm really hoping you don't fall flat on your face
in the playoffs. Oh really completely dis' so sad you
news the number one on our league is Cole Thompson.
Is he Yeah, he's got nothing but SEC players in
his group. Well that's usually a good idea.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Uh so We've got doctor Roto, we got now Florida stories,
we have believe it or not today, and then we
have Rockets basketball tonight home against the Phoenix Suns. Dylan
Brooks is in town for the first time since being traded.
He'll get what a warm round of applause in the
first quarter and be booed I'm notoxiously in the fourth quarter?
Is that feel by right? How much of a hype

(04:45):
video is he gonna get pregame? He should get a
good one? Should He is a huge part of the
part of the reason why where the Rockets are today?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Was it one season or two two? Okay too?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Was the best three point shooting the team last year,
had a little veteran moxie to him. Okay, Now, should
they show nothing but flagrant ones called against him, that'd
be that's actually the appropriate video, right all the flagrance
and staring down with people. Yes, all the technical fouls
he got. That's how that's how you honored Dylan Brooks.
You don't show like the the community stuff and he's

(05:19):
in the chair, you know, uh, you know, serving food
to people and had thanksgiving a Christmas or giving toys
to kids. You show him getting in a into an
argument with Lebron James. You show him getting teed up
by a fit by referees. That's how you give a
tribute video. Right, Yeah, I guess we'll see. Oh, you
know it's gonna be campy. I mean, he had some

(05:39):
big games. He was terrific good. The Rockets won almost
one hundred games with him in two years. That's pretty good.
He wasn't the sole reason, but he was a part
of the reason for sure. And he brought you, Kevin Durant.
So thank you for your sacrifice.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
We have the Texans against the Chiefs. I was on
as I said sorin Petro's pregame show, they're gonna plan
on Sunday they're winning out because I've gone on a
variety of other cities stations before. First of all, the
amount of respect we talked about this a little bit
on the show yesterday. The amount of respect the Texans
defense is getting nationally. You can't hide it anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Everybody.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Even though the Texans are not the main game usually
because the game against Buffalo was on Thursday night, they
have had some The game against Indianapolis was a high
profile game nationally.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
People know who they are.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Now.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
There's no hiding the Houston Texans. Even Texans tatter met
has tomit the defense, the Texan tainer. I'm a Texans
realist and the insider. Okay, so goss me property next time.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Thank you. Yeah, you have to respect the hell of it. Now.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
This is to me, and again, I gave you plenty
of analogies yesterday that didn't fit, okay, one being you
are Texas A and M and you have to go
to Texas and win. You hated that one, right, Well,
it just doesn't fit, Okay, to be the man, you
gotta beat the man, Rick Flair. I mean they're six
and six though, this is like, uh, this is like

(07:06):
a faded champion, But don't you throw the records out
when they're at home. I mean they're a pedestrian the road,
but they have they came back and beat the Colts
at home.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
They beat Detroit at home.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
They're really good at home screen twenty five degrees, whatever
the case may be. I mean, aren't they a Jacklin
High team? Very pedestrian the road and super awesome at home?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Maybe it's like, uh, Muhammad Ali at the end of
his career and you're looking to see if he still
has it in a rematch against Ken Norton.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
He's gonna throw Mohammed's gonna throw one more haymaker.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
I e.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Pat mahomes to probably what Rashid Rice and then you
take your chances.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh wait, I was thinking of Leon Spinks. If that works,
it's fine. Nobody really paired. Oh no, he rematched kN
Norton and beat him late career two That works too.
That was there.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
I believe that was in the Astrodome. If I'm not mistaken,
look at this guy. Yeah, so we call you mister boxing. Well,
the rematch was at Yankee Stadium. Muhammad Ali took on
somebody was the was the White text Coot maybe Cleveland Williams. No,
there were Muhammad Ali late in his career, was at
the Astrodom. A matter of fact, it was a you're
thinking of? Are you thinking of George Forman?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
No, no, no, no, I'm thinking Muhammad Ali. Please tell me
I'm right. Please thought Jimmy Ellis and Buster Mathis at
the Astrodome? What year six? Oh no, no, this has
got to be early eighties. Oh god, Now I'm gonna
be gonna drive me nuts. I'm sorry, We're Leon Spinks
in the Superdome. Ross, tell me, guess it sounds like

(08:33):
you're right. I have his career in front of me
at the Astrodome. All right, Ross, promote your instent you
know what? Follow me at sports RV. We just got
over thirteen hundred. I'm trying to post more content. It's
really gonna it's really gonna help me out personally up here,
if you know what I'm saying. If I could get
my brand built and I'm trying to do those things
I'm actually trying to try. I haven't really tried basically

(08:56):
my entire life. I'm actually trying to try. So if
you could throw a brother a fall at sports RV
on Instagram, I really would appreciate it. Thank you very much.
I told you I have his career in front of me.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah. The last fight. I see him in the home
was seventy one. Yeah, we see somebody helped me out.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
There was a there was a fight in the early
eighties at the Astrodome. Yeah, text Cob fought somebody in there.
It was Textcob again, somebody recognized Larry Holmes. Okay, that's
what it was. I think.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But it was here's a crazy party. It was blocked
out here in town.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Can you believe it was Larry Holmes?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Isn't that the fight that made Howard Cosell quit calling box?
Might be his Text Cob was like just a bloody,
mashed up mess and he's like, this is terrible. Yeah,
there's a generation of people that don't know what the
word blackout means in sports. Yeah, because when I was
a kid and a young adult, the Orders Who, when

(09:50):
they were struggling, had a difficult time selling out games
at the Astrodome, and they would black the game out locally.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Do you remember the much of that at all? The
bloodied one fight?

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Sorry, what do you remember? When I remember? Like I
can say, Randall's right, there still somewhat around it. But
Randalls would like scoop up and buy five thousand tickets
and then prices are too Gallery Furniture would buy a
bunch of tickets at the very air Land to sell
put these games down and they would give them the kids
and shooting various organizations. And yeah, Howard Cosell was horrified.

(10:18):
Text God got beat up so bad by Larry Holmes.
He's like, I can't watch boxing anymore. And then I
gave up the spooked.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
He has an absolute bloody mess here at the Astroid
Now Ashtum.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Used to be the place. Well now it's full of rats. Yeah,
in an embarrassment and that should be dismantled.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
And that hag was trying to keep it alive with
spending money because their husband's rich. Is what it is.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Why is everybody got to be a hag? Matt, I
apologize to the hag. What do I need to apologize?
I said about you yesterday? I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
It's always daily something you need to have just submit
to write it down. You need to Rea, because you forgot.
You didn't want to wrench it all right.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
On the radio program today we mentioned we've got checking
in Kansas City, we have the rockets tonight, we've got
to doctor Rohta.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
We have fantasy, not fantasy. But we've got non four stories. Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And by the way, we do have a list of
the ten worst Christmas songs of all time. I think
it's worthy of discussing today. And how much of that
do you agree or disagree? Do you have any idea
of the worst Christmas song of all time? Well, I

Sports Talk seven ninety All right, let me really quickly

The ten worst Christmas songs according.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
To who is this?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Uh let's see what website?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
This is well, YEAHOO did the story, but a bunch
of different people have jumped on this. I saw this
on the Today Show this morning, so I don't even
know who did it.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
But here it is.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
This is a no particular This is from ten down
to one. These are ten worst, number ten in sync.
I never knew the meaning of Christmas. I don't know
that song at all.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
This is the problem.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I don't know in the modern ones. I stick to
the Classics. Number nine Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry Christmas. What
the hell is that? I never heard that? One? Sounds terrible.
Neil Diamond sucks.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (13:46):
You know what I said that just to trigger you.
I want to apologize.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Never shake that one off. Number eight The Killers Don't
Shoot Me Santa What?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Never heard of that? Okay?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Number seven The Pussycat Dolls Santa Baby. I know the song,
Santa Baby. I'm assuming anything the pussy Cats saying would
be wretched. That feels about right.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Number six lou Montes Dominic the Donkey. Never heard of that? Yeah.
Number five New Kids in the Block Funky Funky Christmas.
Not familiar with that? Nope, jam that Diddy? Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Number four here is one Jessica and Ashley Simpson's rendition
of the Little Drummer Boy. Now that's a personal favorite
of mine. Sounds terrible, but that does sound terrible. Number
three on the Worst Christmas Song list of all time
would be The The Christmas Shoes by something called new Song.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Don't know that?

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Oh, I know that one, The Christmas Shoes and it's like, uh,
it's all kind of heartfelt and mushy, mushy, Yes, it's
a great way to put it. Number two one. You've
definitely heard many, many at times. Elmo and Patsy's the
nineteen seventy nine cult classic Grandma Got run Over by
a Reindeer.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I have not heard Elmo's version. No, not that Almo
different one. Oh and got run over by reindeer.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
And the number one worst Christmas song ever. And I
don't know who I should find out who this was,
but this is the same list that Today Show had
this morning. The Chipmunk Song by Alvin and the chip
Mon Hell no, that's a classic banger. Oh no, tell them, Jonathan,
that's a banger. The Christmas Oh wait, oh the Christmas song?

(15:34):
E no, no, well hold on, well the Christmas song
is Chestnuts Roasting on an open field. This is their
play it, Jonathan. But what does it say? What does
it say on the list? Oh uh, it says number one.
It's I heard it this morning they played it. It's
called the Christmas Don't Be Late, Christmas Don't be Christmas
double a. I thought you said Christmas. Somebody said Christmas song.
Christmas is the Chipmunk song Christmas Don't Be Late? Okay,

(15:55):
Chipmunk's sorry. Christmas Don't be Late is a jam. You
know what, this whole website playing playing you got fine,
let him find it? You know it's it's in the
system called baby.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
We got Sunday Night and.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Christmas in the City, six million Christmas song. That's how
we make our money. The song you want to find
it is in the system because we got sunny. This
is according to the USA Todays.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Jam Yeah okay, Simon okay, crank at the bass okay,
album album an Okay, it's the jam Maddy.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's not a favorite of mine because I don't like
Christmas music in general.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
But this isn't the worst thank you I want because
when you were a kid, you loved the Chipmunks. If
you love the Chipmunks, you weren't a kid. And they
act and they bicker in between the verses. You want
to kick Alvin.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
It's fun to just be sitting at home saying Alvin
yeah Yeah. Norah Jones did a nice version of that
song as well.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Did the Fat Albert grew Ever do a Christmas song?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey, hey, no stop, don't even I'll go ahead so bad, No,
I won't no, I won't do my fat Albert.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
I can't even pull it off. What are you looking,
oh dear, anything goes Friday. I did make a prediction
on the Texans game on the Kansas City pregame show. Okay,
I am not doing it here in Houston. Really, Yes, okay,

(17:49):
I did pick a score of a game earlier this
year because I think it's just.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
One of those why don't you do it? We'll see.
Come on, you got three and a half hours, like
the fenceitter I got. You're wrong.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Take yeah, that's what you told me, Matt. In this business,
you must have an opinion, all right. I will take
you the score of the game, okay, coming back now,
come back from be Haben the twelve o'clock hour. Oh,
we'll save it for twelve wait the strippers. With the
score of the game. We will build up the drama. Yes,
you ten o'clock, as we love you, but you're we're

(18:20):
gonna make you waiting because I know people bump around time.
I wonder how man thinks about this game coming up.
I know I want to know what you think. Do
you know every week I get it, I pick it,
I pick it wrong. That's why I want you to
pick the Chiefs.

Speaker 8 (18:31):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
You don't know what I'm gonna You're a Chiefs Matt, No,
I'm not. I'm Chiefs realist. It's that thing. Let me
give me. I'm gonna give myself a little space here. Oh,
here is so many, so many water carriers and boot
liquors in this town.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
In fact, the Texans only invite media over there that
lick their boots. I mean, that's just the reality of it.
And that's a problem with the Texans. But that's that's
their issue, is not mine. We are Texans realist. That's
why this show is what we are. Because when we're
going to love them when they're good, and we're gonna
rip on them in their bad just like normal human
beings would do.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
We're not gonna over.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Sell a victory against a particular team, and we're not
gonna say the sky is falling when they lose to
a particular team. By the way, I did put a
poll question up on my Twitter account at Sports MT
and I simply asked the question call your shot. One
hundred and twenty nine votes are in sixty seven percent Texans,
thirty three percent say cheeps. I'm feeling another upset run.

(19:29):
I just am Tuesday. I said it on gut feelings.
I wasn't sure. I'll tell you I met after this
when we come back here. Oh, Mary, this is way
too early, like for two weeks. And seriously, my home

(19:50):
has multiple televisions with a Hallmark channel on.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Tis the season matter? Oh, it's not the season. It's
the season to have an It's fine, but the Hallmark
channel blows super wow. I can't help you with that out.
I've never seen more than five minutes. Nothing more than
a bunch of white people love it on each other.
I hate that terrible. Okay.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
By the way, friend of the show, Chase says, I
love the Chipmunks Christmas song because that's when playing in
The Sopranos, when Tony realizes Pussy wore a wire when
he came in with a Sanda outfit. Oh okay, I
never watched more than two or three episodes of The Sopranos.
A little too violent for you, no question about that.
That's fine, great, one of the greatest shows, top five,
greatest show of all time.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I would have to agree with you, evenough I've never
seen it, because everybody consensusly says it's one of the
great shows of all time. Just like its consensus, Kirby
Enthusiasms is the funniest show ever made.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
That absolutely that's your opinion. That's okay, thank you very much.
All right, So, oh, another thing, real quick, we just
had an ad for Donnie Rinson Refresh. I'm sure great
sponsor here of seven nine. Okay, are you bothered when
people sell their songs for commercials?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm not bothered.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
In Bonnie Tyler, the song is blatantly a rip off
of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. Yeah, a
terrific nineteen eighty song, A great, great song, eighties.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
It was a good one, Okay.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
I just think it cheapens the song when you sell
your song for an ad for Bondy's Total Eclipse of
the Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart work. His
song is such a sacred monument to music that it
can't be used in a downy commercial.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's what I'm saying. I didn't sut her.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I will say I'm with you that some songs seem
a little too I mean, I'll stick with sacred, hallowed.
Whatever you want to say for to be cheapened by commercialization,
Total Eclipse of the Heart does not make the list
for me personally, So you are you are subjective. You're like,
if that song was just kind of a mid hit,
it's okay to sell to Downing rig for several led

(22:02):
Zeppelin for years and years and years wouldn't wouldn't license
their songs to anyone, and then they did rock and
roll for like a Cadillac campaign. They're very judicious with
the way they give out their music. I think Stevie
Wonder is one of those that only does it for
certain things, Like there are certain people who, yeah, they
want to gate keep their songs and stuff like that
for for television, movies and commercials. Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse

(22:26):
to the Heart is fair play.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I love that song and I just out when I
hear a commercial that rips it off. It just it
just makes me think of old school when the guys
singing the cover. Yeah, but it's happening all the time
and sometimes and to be fair to the to the advertiser,
they're getting run because.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
It gets stuck, gets stuck in your head, gets stuck
in my head. Yeah, So I just s C.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Johnson wax Or whoever the hell was major conglomerates that
owns Downy.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
All right, so you are ready to make your prediction, Yeah, yes,
I am. Go ahead. Houston Texans win twenty three eighteen.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
So you think the Texan defense is so good it's
gonna hold Pat Mahomes eighteen. I think they will again.
They're firing on all cylinders. They're healthy. The Kansas City
Chiefs aren't this. They aren't the boogeyman that they once were.
You're not worried about him? Kamari Last for not playing.
I'm not saying I'm not worried about it. Okay, I'm

(23:41):
worried a little bit about it. I mean, Rashie Rice
is good. We know Xavier Worthy can stretch the field.
Travis Kelsey has been very good. I mean overall, Pat
Mahomes is having a pretty good season. They've been scoring
some points, and their defense is good. It's gonna be
a low scoring, one score type of game, because that's
what the that's what the Texans have been in basically
all all five of their losses are by one score,

(24:01):
all four of their last wins, that's nine games there
right there by one score, and they've they've been in twelve.
So nine of their twelve games have been one score.
It's gonna be another one score game. Agaus our most
NFL games. Yeah, So even though Arizona's been terrible this year,
they played with him at one score games.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'm not I'm not gonna go with like they're rallying
the troops that are gonna make a statement and all
this other stuff. No, they're gonna get it.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
You gotta get it down on the field, all this
narrative stuff and whatever.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
Like.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
They they're just too good on the field. And the
offensive line continues to get better. And I think as
long as what's the Woody Marxist status, I think, okay, okay,
so as long as Woody Marx is gonna be up
there and he's gonna be fine.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
And c. J.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Stroud is playing a lot better or not playing a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
But I mean, he had some cobwebs he had to
shake off early in that game, but he made a
ton of great throws. He's looking like himself. He's gonna
be good enough, and they're they're gonna get it done.
It's a combination of things. I think the Texans are
are playing being better, and I think the Chiefs aren't
what they once were, and I think this defense is
going to carry the day.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's all those things and we'll see I have been right.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Jwan Taylor bad triceps and knee. Those are two members
of the offensive line, their offensive lines. And I can
tell you this being just on Kansasity Radio about an
hour and a half ago. They're wigging out about their
offensive line. And we'll talk more about that with Sore
and Petrick coming up in a few minutes. Okay, so
you've got a team that's worried about their offensive line
going against the one of the best front sevens of
the NFL. Okay, that sounds like a recipe for text

(25:36):
and six.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
That sounds good to me.

Speaker 9 (25:37):
Now.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Of course, the big X factor is this guy named
Pat Mahomes m h And by the way, the and look,
Travis Kelsey wasn't what he was five years ago, but
the discussion of his demise, in my mind still is
over exaggerated.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Guy still gets the in zone once a game. He
just does. I know this for a fact. He's in
my fantasy league. He doesn't.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
He's not nine for ninety three and two scores anymore.
Buddy's four for thirty seven and a score. And if
you forget about him, like the Texans have had a
history of, he can come back. So this thought of
Travis Kelsey's old and is getting ready for his wedding
is premature.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
They got plenty of offensive threats.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Except the problem is will my homes be able to
stand stand upright long enough to find those people?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
This is the rally of it.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
We'll see, all right, Let's talk to Yankees Keith at
ten forty on the Matt Thomas Show with Rows and
Anything Goes Friday.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Keith, what do you have today?

Speaker 10 (26:29):
Good morning? Just a quick question, is anybody tried the
steak tips from Arby's that they look good on TV?

Speaker 3 (26:36):
You know, I'm I'm glad you brought them up. It
looks like to me first for they look delicious. But
the issue I have is I like my meat medium,
rare or medium. They look like they're all well done,
which then makes them beef jerky. And so why would
I want to go get up a piece of steak,
which I'm assuming is sirloin cut up it's well done?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Why would I want to do that? Keith? Help me
out with that.

Speaker 10 (27:00):
Well, I'm gonna try him today. I just wanted to
find out if anybody ever called in.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
And said, yeah, they have not done so, so I'm
I would you please call us next week with a report.

Speaker 10 (27:11):
Yeah, but here's what Here's what I'm calling about. So
the Yankees are really desperate.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
You know, we lost that.

Speaker 10 (27:19):
Punk Sodo and he went to a losing team, so
that's good for him. And we also lost Cody Bellacher.
So right now, I think we're gonna overpay for x Astro,
who's injury from Kyle Tucker. We're gonna outdid everybody for
him to protect Judge.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
What do you think, Uh, there'll be a contender for him.
I mean I could have told you that a year ago.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Keith said, Kyle Tucker will be interested in the teams
that will have money, Metts, Yankees, Cubs, Angels, Dodgers, I mean,
all the familiar foes. There's I didn't I didn't anticipate
Keith having the Royals having a mean offer ready to
go for Kyle Tucker.

Speaker 10 (28:07):
No, I'm pretty sure that that the Yankees going to
outbid everybody for him, and he is injury and they
do have to have protection for Judge. We also are
going to try to get bowl the Hick, but we
need a short stop that can hit.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
All right, that's not I mean, this is not Yankees radio,
so I can't really get I mean, I don't have
a comment. I don't particularly care what they're doing.

Speaker 10 (28:28):
All right, Yeah, I have a good day.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Give us a report on the on the Arby steak nuggets.
We need that, alright, see you later.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Frankly, to me, the Yankee steak nuggets is a more
interesting to me than what the Yankees doing free agency
A great disagree, hmm, I think I'm more interested in
Yankees free agency. Oh no, no, no, no, no, don't
you want to know what those I mean the commercials are. No,
I'm saying, I'm how long have they been out? Probably
a couple of months? The commercials, Oh, you love Darby's.

(28:58):
I do love Darby's. And there's actually one important You
usually can't sprint there fast enough. It's more of a gallop.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
So if they've been out for a couple of months
and you can't wait, you haven't had them yet, so
you're not that interested. Let's give up the hot pot
today and go get some mar reasons. I'm going to
hot pot. It's cold, warm, beef nuggets can help you too.
I want some soup. I've been dreaming I had, I
was dreaming about it. If I had different dreams, and

(29:26):
you're gonna be so good. You dream about soup, I
dream about other things. Yeah, you dream about these AI
models that you're giving shelling out cash to.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
You know what, I'm sorry that was. That's first of all,
that's not true, Missus Thomas. It's just a joke.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Not.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Second of all, I apologize, thankfully. People are not going
to try to be better than the new Year. People
are starting to realize what I've been trying to say
for years. Joan our great listen.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know what she says. Yeah, I'm mean to you,
and I'm like you are.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I've been extraordinarily nice to you the last couple of
weeks and months, and we're watching now the tide turn here.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right. Up next, Randy, We've got an Arby Steak Report.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Randy wants to talk Texans and the Arby Steak Report,
and Alexander of the Chronicle reporting the Kamara Lasser is
at practice but working off to the side with trainers today.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
That doesn't sound great.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Now again, Friday is the last day before they really
work out Saturday. It's like I walk through the jump
on a plane, go to Kansas City. Kamara Laser could
be saying, Hey, this is a really important game. I'll
figure it out somehow, some way to get on the
field to try to help.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Which would be good.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
But usually if you don't practice during the course of
the week, even if it's late in the season, unless
you just all of a sudden wake up filling five
percent better than you did today, then I would say
I would consider him doubtful for the game on a Sunday.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
He is working off to the side with trainers or
is that practice? Yeah? Not beating up people. Who's he
gonna beat up? He's not. He didn't go to the
m M A Jim. Yeah, you know those those Texans
practices are pretty physical. That's true. I said I know
this because I swarm. They do. They do swarm a lot.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Let's go to Randy. Randy, are you gonna talk Texans first?
Or RBS Steak Report.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
The RB Steak Report, Go for it.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
What do you got?

Speaker 7 (31:32):
I thought that was funny when I was listening to
you guys. Yes, I did try them, and uh, but
I must say I am an RB fan. I do
love the sandwiches, but I did try those, uh those
steak bites, and I must say, yeah, you're right, Matt.
It's it's it's like beef jerky.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
You know, they're dry.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
They are dry, and make sure you had your gno
flows because you're gonna need it, brother, after knocking those down.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
But so like it.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
But if you dip them in arvy sauce for about
thirty minutes, you.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Know, looking for a marinate on that or what.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, if you if you dip them in
arvy sauce for about thirty minutes, let them marrynate. Uh,
they're they're pretty appetizing, brother, But yeah, you're right. It's
a little bit of big turkey yesh.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
You know because again you if you're cutting those nuggets
up they're buying and putting them on our a heat lamp.
They're they're not going there's gonna be no pink to it,
and you love the pink.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
You're right, Matt, they're dry. You know, they're they are dry.
You're right, brother, So you know, if you got the
money to the spurs on them, I would try them
out and see what you think. But okay, that was
that was my that was my experience. Brother, Let them
marinate Army sauce for about thirty minutes. Okay, and uh
And as far as the Texans, Hey, my prediction, my opinion,
But I think the Texans win this Sunday. And uh,

(32:52):
I've kind of been spun on with them, So I
say they win this Sunday in a close matchup. Defense
comes through again, and hey, I think we get into
the playoffs. I think we go to the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's my opinion.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Brothers.

Speaker 7 (33:04):
Hey, you guys have a great weekend.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Thanks Randy. Nice to hear from you. Appreciate the report
on the Arby's well done shoe leather.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's what they look like. I mean, it's not They're
not going to give you prime ribi.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
And in a steak bite, they didn't mention the word
sirline ever, No what kind of steak it was, right
right right?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Okay, So let's back to Texas for sake.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
But hold on, what's more authentic as a meat, the
McRib or the Army Nuggets?

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Probably the nuggets. I don't know, is there such thing
as fake steak? The McRib is is congealed pig splatter.
It's slurry. It's pig slurry. It's pig slurry pressed into
a sheet with bumps on it. It's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
We're done. I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I'm not having this conversation with you. You're going he
brought it up. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
I'm not bringing up the mcribs of bringing up the
r I know. I'm getting still about three tweets a
day and about two dms some people. I've got it.
All these people are sitting the video.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
People always send this when when the McRib comes back,
the video of the guy making the McRib Yeah, oh no.
The video I got yesterday was appetizer. Is a family
that had a platter of mcribs and fries on a plate,
and so this as an appetizer. That's what I got yesterday. So,
you know, just keep making fun of it. I think
ten and seven gets in. I keep saying that, but

(34:28):
it's not even not I mean, I don't even have
the gospel on that, unfortunately, because you got time breakers
and whatnot. So if the Texans go with their their
seven and five, they go three and uh three, and
to the rest of way, they puts them at ten
wins wish in theory would get them into the playoffs
in theory. In theory, but again, as you've talked about before,
ten and ten doesn't guarantee it.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I think it does, but it does.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Only one team hasn't made it since they've gone to
a seventeen game season and they have. Their conference record
is six and two right now, and they're all excellent. Yeah,
they're only NFC game left is the Cardinals, right right,
So even if they were to lose that one, which
would be a major bummer, it's not going to be
nearly as detrimental as saying losing to Indianapolis are the Chargers.

(35:10):
In theory, if they go three and two, as you said,
their conference record will be nine to four. That's getting
they're in. They're that's getting them in. But let me
ask you this, if you lose this game and when
when the rest of the way, they will put them
at eleven and six, which will get them in, or
eight and five at the worst conference record, I should say, but.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, that'll be enough.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
But would that give you encouragement or you say, man,
we had that chance to get on the road and
get rid of a demon. No, I mean, they're Honestly,
it feels like kind of I know they're rounding in
the shape and it's a long season.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's feeling in a way like found money right now.
I thought they were out of the playoff. And three
if we thought we were all gut feeling and that
they were out of the playoffs and Nick Caleb was
gonna get fired and there were three and five.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
I mean, all three of those losses look a lot
better than they did at the time. Rams, Buccaneers, Jaguars.
Jaguars are leading the AFC South. I think that is
that three division leaders?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Actually, so uh.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah, that's three division leaders. You lost to the start
the season, oh three all by one score, and we
were thinking they're horrible. So I feel great as battle
Red Ross, I was losing all kind of hope. But
the the offensive line has gotten better. Let me, defense
is the elite. Let me give you one elite. You

(36:32):
finally slay the dragon. Yeah, this year is different. I
don't care if the Chiefs are average. It's still a
Sunday night game, national television, Arrowhead Stadium, twenty five degrees.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Okay, that's you need to win that game. And of
all years for them to be as vulnerable as they
are this thar, you will need to win it. Okay,
that's number one. If you do that, you exercise a
lot of demons. If you lose the game, you create
the I guarantee you ross it's a here we go
on Monday. I guarantee well, okay, here's how it goes Monday. Hey,

(37:07):
the Texas have an easy schedule rest away. They're probably
gonna get in the playoffs. Good for them. But they
had a chance to win on the road a Kansas City,
to really separate themselves from a mediocre Kandasity team, and
they couldn't do it. It's like it's again, I hate
paralleling the playoffs. A and M's doing great, but guess what,
a M fan, you can't get rid of little brother syndrome.

(37:27):
You just can't because you didn't beat them. I think
the Texts have a chance to get rid of little
bro syndrome this week. Let's go do it, as you
like to say, go win the game.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Go win the game. Yeah, they can do it, It's possible.
Go in the game spreads down to three and a
half and the juice has turned towards the Texan side.
Feeling good. We had roal gambling the same. It would
be really fun to discuss these things.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Well whatever, forty one and a half total, it's going
to be a knockdown, drag out, not fun to watch game,
and we'll watch it fourth quarter. Pat Mahomes is the
thing that scares me the most. Kimie fairbaron outside, does
it scare you or is it kind? I mean it's fine,
Harrison Bucker knows that stadium. Now, Fairbar is more accurate

(38:13):
than Buker. It feels like to me the last couple week. Yes,
but Bucker knows feeling it's wobbley, I mean fairburan case.
He goes into spurts like he can be very reliable,
and then he goes into spurts where he's missing three
out of four and a half. You get that injection.
Let's go, yeah, that's fine. I'm okay with that, So
get steroids. Who gets the Win's a win?

Speaker 1 (38:32):
All right.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
We're gonna talk with sing Petro next. He's our Kansas
City Insider reporter. We'll talk to him. He's talking all
things Chiefs. Here at ten fifty seven on Sports Talk
seven ninety is the.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Matt Thomas Show with Ross eleven on one on seven
ninety Man and Ross with you here on anything goes
Friddy will be saying a sorry.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
He's coming up in a half an hour from right now.
Right now, we say hello to sore In Petro host.
I mean, look, there are some original names for sports
radio shows, Soren Petro, but yours is just the program.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
That's all. You call your show, the program.

Speaker 11 (39:09):
That's right, the program you know, you know what you
ask for itself.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
I know why it is because you're a legacy host
in Kansas City. When you had that kind of cachet,
you can call yourself the program.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I love it.

Speaker 11 (39:21):
I was just called old and the nicest way possible.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
I appreciate no chance.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Sports Radio eight ten WHB is the show that Soren
Petro and I think Ross and I have both been
on over for a number of times over the last
couple of years. I've been replaced. That's okay, though, No,
they just called me because you were unavailable.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
That's how it is.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Sorry to have your producer called Ross. He's feeling good,
he's feeling elect over here.

Speaker 11 (39:43):
Well you know what I think it is like like
when you we change producers and then like whatever the
last number that was called as long as somebody keeps saying, yes,
he just keeps calling that person, right, so I think
you know, you know, that's where he's gotten out of
the rhythm of Colin Ross.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
So basically I should just avoid your producer is sending
me tax and to say a new phone.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Who do this is what you're trying to tell the audience.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Okay, yes, we're.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Great forgetting about this game.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
Let's get to the more macro version of Kansas City
Chiefs football this year at six and six? What has
gone right? What has gone wrong? And have your fan
base and not necessarily the locker room they would publicly
ever tell you this, But is this the eventual downplay,
downfall regression of the most dominant team in the AFC

(40:32):
the last five or six years.

Speaker 11 (40:35):
I would say potentially, yes. You know, they they have
always talked, in fact, their owner, Clark Kind has always
talked about, you know, never wanting to go all in
on one year because they've got Patrick Mahomes and they
want to make sure that they're a contender every single season.
That's what he said. But in reality, the chance to
win three in a row had them making some decisions
that maybe they shouldn't have made right like giving Chris

(40:56):
Jones a contract into his thirties. He's not a bad player.
He's still very good. He's still the first guy you
got account for on defense. But he's not what he
was a couple of years ago. And he's a massive
number of the cap, going to be forty eight million
against the cap next year. They didn't want to, you know,
look around anywhere, so they re signed Creed Humphrey gave
a center of the biggest contract in football. Then they
added on with Trey Smith getting the biggest guard contract

(41:18):
in football. Those aren't premium positions. Nick Bolton the beden
of linebacker. They gave fifteen million dollars too, So you know,
they had all these players that have been a part
of the run. They wanted to keep the band back together.
And because they've been trading up a lot in the draft.
You know, the draft is in an exact science. Everybody
has misses on. Every fan base thinks every pick should
be a gem, but you know it's a fifty to fifty,
sixty to forty proposition. And then when you give away

(41:41):
those picks, be it for you know, veteran players or
to move up and rounds you get and fewer young
talented Chief players, and the Chiefs have a very top
heavy roster right now with some of the guys getting
old and that that's that's created a problem for them
this year.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Offensive line, you described my visit on your sho tell
the audience it feels like, as you were rattling it
off with me, it has been a hot mess, not
only just coming into this week's game, but it's been
all season.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Correct, Yeah, it has.

Speaker 11 (42:09):
And I mentioned you know, the expensive interior guys. Juwan
Taylor carries a huge number at right tackle as well.
They're the second most expensive offensive line in football, and
they have not played to that degree.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Now.

Speaker 11 (42:19):
When Josh Simmons was healthy and was playing, they look
like they found a gym if he's going to play.
He left the team for unspecified reasons for like five games,
so that'll be an issue until it's not. But now
he's got an injured wrist and he's out. Well, they
doubled down at left tackle because it was so bad,
ultimately moving All Pro guard Joe Tooney out to left
tackle in the Super Bowl, which you know, the Eagles

(42:40):
exposed and blew them up in that game. And that's
why they spent so much in the in the offseason
on getting a guy like Jalen Moore. You know, two
years thirty million for a guy who started eleven games
in San Francisco, but they wanted to make sure that
they had options at left tackle. Well, now Jawan Taylor's
banged up and Jalen Moore may have to go at
right tackle, which brings them right back to the guy
while Morris, who was so bad last year. They ended

(43:02):
up moving They're all Pro guard from left guard to
left tackle and in just a desperation move, so Wania
Morris a left tackle? Were everyone in Kansas City is
hoping that's the Chiefs just sending a smoke screen out there,
and that Jowan Taylor is going to be able to
go at right tackle and Jalen Moore will be solid
okay at left tackle. That gives him a pretty good
chance to attack. But Tray Smith, the guy that gave

(43:25):
all the money to a right guard, he's been hurt
pretty much all year, hasn't been as good as he
was last year. And if they have Wanna Morris at
left tackle, I mean go ahead and get the paint out,
because you can put a couple of stripes right from
the left tackle spot straight to Patrick Mahomes because Wanna
Morris I don't think could block me. I don't know
why he's on the roster. We didn't make a big
deal out of it, sat Joe at training camp when

(43:46):
they kept him, because you thought you had redundancy. You
had two different guys Josh Simmons and Jalen Moore that
would have to go down before you got back to
Wanda Morris. Well, now here it is against the worst
possible team. You may send out the worst left tackle
in football.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
And that brings me to the running game, which just
seems like it's been nonexistent. What do you make of
what's been happening with Isaiah Pacheco And then we know
Kareem Hunts kind of to me, just a guy. How
much is that as the offensive lineer? How much is
that they need to improve at that position?

Speaker 11 (44:16):
A little bit of everything, you know. I think the
line is a part of it. You know, Juwan Taylor
is a pass blocker, not a run blocker.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
You know.

Speaker 11 (44:25):
So they've got some guys like they want to throw
the ball. They also look Andy Reid is a is
a passing coach at a heart and listen. All the
analytics will tell you you should throw the ball. It's
more efficient. But the running does help set up the passing.
And that's pretty much what the running game's been, is
the setup to the passing game. But now more and
more teams are not doing what they used to. Andy
Reid had a lot of success in this league because

(44:46):
teams would talk about like, yeah, yeah, we you know,
we're going to establish the run, we're going to pass,
and defenses would set up to stop the run, and
then Andy ree would just keep throwing over it. Well,
now defense is set up to stop the pass. They
play nickel. The Chiefs face the most light boxes. To
get teams out of that, to get the safeties moving up,
to get some freedom in that passing game, you have

(45:07):
to run the ball. And they just haven't been able
to do it. Their running numbers aren't that bad, but
you when you dig deeper, you're right to talk about
the running backs because it's Patrick Mahomes running on scrambles
and smart teams and I think the Texans will be
one of them. Have started to put a spy on him.
He's not Lamar Jackson like he's gonna beat you, but
he consistently runs for first downs, backbreaking first downs that
allows Andy Reid to get deeper into the play sheet

(45:30):
and be effected that way. Well, you know, teams are saying, Ah,
that's not gonna happen. We're gonna spy Patrick Malhmes. You're
gonna have to beat us with the pass. And they
haven't been willing to pound the running game enough, and
they don't have the person They don't even have a
fullback on the roster to really play a heavy personnel.
All their tight ends are pass catchers first, so they
don't really have the personnel to play the style of

(45:51):
football that teams like the Rams are doing. And then
they just don't seem to want to get under center
and give the running back a moving starting effective, so
many of their runs are RPOs our draws, with the
running back standing still when he first gets the football
as opposed to getting ahead of steam and headed towards
a hole. So you know, maybe they'll turn over a
new league, maybe they'll do something completely different here against

(46:13):
the Texans, but I think they'll show the run. And
Kareem Hunt has been You're right, he's a jag, but
he's at least a pilemover. He's great in short yardage
and he does, you know, put some thump and can
wear down a defense because he is a physical back.
But there is no threat of anybody in the run
game unless it's some kind of wide receiver reverse of
getting any kind of ten fifteen yard run. It's just

(46:33):
not existent with this team.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Saarn Petro, Kansas City's Sports Radio eight ten WHB with
us here on Sports Talk seven to ninety. You mentioned
Andy Reid and there's been a lot of talk here
in Houston about one score games, games management of Demico Ryans,
and a lot of one score talking Kansas City as well.
How how do you think Andy Reid is as a
game manager with challenges and tied end timeouts and those

(46:57):
types of things.

Speaker 11 (46:59):
You know, he's been fantastic. That was one of the
big knocks on him when he came to Kansas City,
and it persisted in Kansas City because he had Alex Smith.
I mean, I will tell anyone who knocks a coach
on their clock management and they're running out there guys
that are good or bad at quarterback, that's the problem.
You want good clock management get a great quarterback. Suddenly
Andy Reid's a genius with Patrick Mahomes taking twenty yard chunks.

(47:20):
You know, when Alex Smith would would have a minute,
ten and one time out and he'd checked down to
a wide receiver in the middle of the field and
he'd get tackled. You know, you look up and you
had fifteen seconds and you've gone twenty five yards and
burned your time out. Because Alex Smith just wouldn't push
the ball.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Down the field.

Speaker 11 (47:35):
Andy Reid has looked like a genius with Patrick Mahomes
in that spot because Patrick Mahomes will take those chunks.
He understands that we got to go. We got to
get the ball down the field. So thirteen seconds against
the Buffalo Bills in a playoff game, that's plenty of
time to get down the field and get a field goal.
So you know he has the ultimate weapon there. If
they provide time for Patrick Mahomes, I think in the

(47:56):
hurry up where defenses can't change their personnel and they
start to wear down, Patrick Mahomes becomes even more effective.
They do have talent at wide receiver. They don't have
a Nico Collins. Rossie Rice is pretty close it's pretty good.
Travis Kelsey still finds holes in defenses. Xavier Worthy's fast,
but literally a breeze will knock him off his route
because he's so slightly built. You know, Juju Smith Schuster

(48:19):
is actually pretty effective still for them when they need it.
The Hywood Brown is kind of Hollywood Brown. He's there
every now and then he makes a play and a
few people in town get excited, but he's not consistently
a threat. But there are guys that can beat you,
and so you know, he does a pretty good job
of managing the clock. Last year they won all those
close games, some of them with block field goals and
miraculous endings, but other ones just making plays. They are

(48:42):
still dangerous even though they're one and six in one
score games, but they just have not been able to
find the rhythm and they have not been able to
get the big plays when they need them. And really,
penalties have crushed them all year long at the worst times.
They're a heavily penalized team. They talk about it every
week gets better, and that's been crippling them this year.

(49:02):
So it hasn't been what they've normally been. Where if
you get the fifty seconds to give the Chiefs the
ball you're going to lose. That hadn't been the case
this year.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
All right, sore, and so obviously confidence here in Houston
is very high. This is the great defense against a
as mid of a Kansasity franchise we've seen in a
long period of time.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
So let's flip at this script a little bit.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Texans don't go to Kansas City and win very often
playoff games, regular season games, night games, day games. If
the Chiefs pull this off, it keeps the Chiefs season
alive in terms of being a robust playoff contender.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
How do they do it?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
If there is a scenario where Kansasdy pulls off the
victory and again Vegas believes that they're still a three
and a half point favorite for a reason, explain that
to the Houston audience.

Speaker 11 (49:46):
I think the reason is just the stubbornness of the betters. Right,
like the points spread is not a prediction. It's based
upon trying to bring money in. Right, Sometimes it's waited
a little bit, based upon a sharp player putting something.
But for the most part they're, you know, trying to
bounce it out. And the public and the Chiefs were
still the favorite to win the Super Bowl like two
weeks ago, right, I mean, you know, it's just that,
like fans were continuing to put money down because they've

(50:08):
just seen it time and time again. Most fans don't
want to see it. But Patrick Mahomes is gonna get
it done. They're gonna turn the corner. Two years ago
is carrying a lot of weight in this town. Everybody
wants to point to or remember how awful they looked
against the Raiders on that Christmas Day game, and from
that point on they really took off. And so everybody
in this town, a lot of people are expecting that
that corner to be turned. And I think that's what

(50:28):
Vegas is expecting. I think a lot of football fans
on the outside are expecting that because they've.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Always done it.

Speaker 11 (50:33):
But what changed in that season was they quit playing
Kadarius Tony, they quit playing Sky Moore, they quit playing
the guys who suck. They're already playing the good players. Right,
There's no one to bench now in this situation, right,
there's no one to turn to. They started focusing on
getting the football to Rashie Rice and Travis Kelce two
years ago.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Well, they're already doing that.

Speaker 11 (50:53):
And so I don't see this magic bullet that they
seem to have two years ago, which really got that
offense going was when they eliminated all the stuff they
were trying to do for guys that simply were not
good football players. So that makes it harder if they
get it done in this game, there's going to be
a lot of misdirection. They're going to try to get
those edg rushers go in the wrong direction. They're not
going to be afraid to punt. I mean, I think

(51:13):
they are aware. They can look in the mirror and
know who they are. They are a good defense. They
can't pressure the quarterback with just four In fact, they
haven't had a sack in two weeks for the first
time in four years. So CJ. Stroud's going to have
more time than he normally does. Even though the Texans
offensive line is a problem, the Chiefs will have some
success because Chris Jones is still a player, but George
Carlotis has got a hurt hand that's affecting his passion

(51:34):
pass rush somewhat. So I think they'll be happy to
tear this into a rock fight. Turn it into a
rock fight, and play in the mud. And try to
find one or two big plays. I think that's what
they'll be looking for. If the Chiefs get there, you know,
they'll stay on the field with the Texans, but they're
going to need to find a couple of big plays
somewhere where they get that Texans defense going the wrong

(51:54):
direction and have a gotcha moment because they're not going
to just grind it out down the field.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
So on, great conversations always, Thank you very much for
the time, and stay warm of this holiday season.

Speaker 2 (52:03):

You didn't go anywhere? Yeah, I did, you know?

Speaker 3 (55:10):

Let's go. We'll got We'll go to Big City Watch. Okay,
that's probably I'll watch it. All. Is the draw done?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
I just saw that people were just losing their mind
over the draw. But apparently a bad presentation. By the way,
FIBA is is corrupt, FIFA whatever, same thing.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
FIA could be Corruptiba's corrupt. Toyah, they're all corrupt. Oh yeah,
international agencies?

Speaker 4 (55:55):
All right?

Speaker 2 (55:55):
So real quick?

Speaker 13 (55:59):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Two thousand and seven. January fifth, What were you doing
January fourth, two thousand and seven?

Speaker 3 (56:11):
I was living in Austin two thousand and seven. For me,
I was living in I just and recently moved to
Saint Paul, minnesot I probably wasn't well January fifth. I'd
probably be back in Houston before go aheading back to Austin,
go to UT.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Last time this.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Happened was January fifth, two thousand and seven. Lebron James
did not score ten or more points in an NBA
game one thousand, two hundred and ninety seven games. Came
to a streak yes end yesterday when the Raptors and
the Lakers played in Toronto one thousand, two hundred ninety
seven times, and he's took a floor and scored at

(56:47):
least ten points. I think that we take Lebron James
for granted. So there are people who are scoffing at that.
So I want to provide a little context. I'm curious
because Lebron haters, come on, there's people hate Lebron a
minute a crime. He's one of the all time great scorers,
he's one of the he was like a five time
first team All Defense he's had. He's been in a

(57:08):
pressure cooker since about the age of sixteen. I'd say
he's doing okay. Yeah, he made a few ill informed
comments about China and all of a sudden we need
to like hate the guy and he's the worst human
being that ever lived.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Shut your bumb ass up.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Anyways, second greatest player of all time depending on who
you talk to.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
And you're talking to me, yes, so I said your period.
That's okay, behind Kareem.

Speaker 11 (57:29):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
But to contextualize that, the second highest longest ten point
plus streak is Kevin Durant and I read on the
Twitter verse yesterday he'd have to do eighty two games
for twelve straight years to match Lebron from where he
is right now. I mean, it's a it's an incredible feat.
I am able to because I'm actually of an IQB

(57:53):
above seventy five. I'm able to context your line. Appreciate you,
Lebron the player is get Lebron, the ill informed person
a lot of things.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
So, but again, everybody we meet isn't always perfect.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
About every twelve hundred ninety seven games, Durant is second
and most right now with two hundred and sixty seven.
You can add a thousand, and he's behind Lebron's streak.
You know, we always do this. We do this sometimes
in sports radio. That's a streak that will never be broken.
I called my shot, right, yeah, I think you're it's
you know, it's DiMaggio. Well, it's eighty the average in

(58:26):
NBA season eighty two games. Yes, if you don't play
all eighty two, you're still looking at probably what seventy
let's do seven something whatever, seventy seventy. So that's fifteen
seasons essentially, give or take of scoring ten every time.
That means not getting kicked out, That means not injuring yourself.

(58:48):
That means getting up enough. You have to you have
to shoot the ball, yeat. The ball has to go
through the net some formal way, either at the free
throw line or with field goals of two or three
point Brianty tennis.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I mean, it doesn't seem like a lot, but.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
It's remarkably a consistent number that people leave with injuries
in the first and second quarter. You get sideways with
an official and get tossed out. Well, you get mad
at your coach and you put you to the bench.
You know, so yeah, uh, not that I think it's
one of those sad moments, but it does show you
that he, for the first time in quite a while,
is becoming rather human. It makes me sad for what

(59:22):
it signifies. And they still want historiraphy. I don't generally
when we talk about all time all time greats, like
watching them decline and fade is like it makes you
sad to watch it, and then it also just makes
you feel old and you're so it's like in a
personal way, it's.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Like, oh, I'm getting old Lebron James. Lebron James is washed.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
But see, I my whole adult life, I'm because I'm
like two weeks older than Lebron. So for me and
when I was born, it was always Now he's only
four championships ahead of me, so we're pretty close, but it.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Was all he. It was always that guy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
I don't know if there's anybody like this for you,
like like he watching him play has been basically my
whole adult life has been watching Lebron James been be great.
When when I'm watching sports and it's it's going away,
So it makes me sad. It has not happened to
me with one athlete that's happened to me with five
hundred of them. Yeah, it's like every great athlete I've

(01:00:21):
ever loved watching Right now, Aaron Rodgers in a Steelers
uniform like when I was ten years Right now, we're'll
be like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Oh my god, remember Steelers Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Ew When I was a kid, I marveled at Nolan
Ryan being forty one, forty three years old pitching at
ninety six miles an hour. When he started going to
the injured list for boosters and stuff like that, and
the velocity was down and he was hurting his arms,
it was like good his last season though, right Yeah,
I don't think he embarrassed himself, but I will. I
will say that about some of your favorite baseball players

(01:00:51):
of all Old Bryant's farewell tour. Josel Tubay is starting
to controp a little bit. He doesn't wake up with
two hundred hits like he used to. Nod, that's a
great one to pull up. Last year. We're seeing, we're
seeing multiple years of decline, Josel Tuova. It doesn't make
us happy, Boston Celtics. Shack is not making us happy.
Larry Bird with a bad back all the time. I
hate Larry Bird, I appreciate the talent that he brought

(01:01:14):
in in ten years. Back to the Clippers, Chris Paul
is going to be like a trivia question.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Yeah makes me sad, so yeah, but again we father
time never ever loses Bastard.

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
But Lebron thought but as you say it, though, Lebron
fought him as good as anybody. I think Lebron's on
the verge of retiring.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
I think there's just there's a huge party because I
think his ego is huge that wants to play until
hes fifty or want.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
He wants to get to six championships. That's why he
played as long as he has and he ain't happening.
And that Laker team is good though they yeah, it
ain't happening, though I would hope not. That means if
he gets to six, it means the Rockets are having
to wait a while.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
And I don't want to wait. I don't want to
wait much longer. I mean, I'm like, I mean, I'm
still looking great at my age, but I wait. Shake Goldes, Alexander,
how oldest chet Homebird? We need Oldes? Jaylen Williams.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
As I said earlier, this week. Let's get one torn
peck muscle. That's what it's gonna take. I'm sorry, that's
what it is. I'm not ready under that healthy thunder. No,
it ain't happening. You can push them to six and
push them to seven. Let's go, let's push push, push
it real good? All right, salt? Or are you pepper?

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
I'm pepper? Hey, you're salty. Maybe would you like to
apologize for the things you said this week? I know
Johan's gonna have a lot of apologies. I'm think about him.
I don't know I've been a good guy.

Speaker 8 (01:02:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Should we call the girl and find out?

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:02:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):

criticize her for sleeping in this in the movie theater?
Did you make it public knowledge on a radio show?
Does she know you're putting on a blast? I did
tell her.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
She does.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
She knows you are you are?

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
You said you're sorry to her about one thirty this
morning seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven ninety Time
for you to say I'm sorry. Let's do it next
on seven ninety. This is the most cathartic half hour
in Houston radio. I forget about sports radio history of

(01:03:09):
Houston Radio. We asked you to simply call seven one
three two one two five seven NINETI and say these words.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
I'm sorry, so sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
I didn't know this is the time that you need
to apologize for what you've said. I want to apologize
to any of the spam people that I told them
about my medical condition that they didn't think it was
very funny. I found it to be very hysterical talking
about my issues, and they told me to stick that
issue up my.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Blank and hung up on me. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
I'm sorry, telemarketers, you should be I want to say
sorry to Lebron James fans. By the way, we're talking
about less than ten points. Last night on Sunday's game
against a Monday's game against Phoenix, he had ten points.
So there was a trend to colling Lebron's scoring numbers
of dropping.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
He's declining, and I'm gonna cry. Don't cry that sorry.
I'm not sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
I'm glad, Thank God, get out, go bye see you.
It's that greatest player of all time. All right to
the sorryes of this week. Wow, I feel like I
apologize during the week for a lot of things that
I do. So it's like, if I shouldn't say I
should actually start to save these.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):

handball And I was so pleased with myself that it
annoyed Adam Wexer, And I want to apologize. I'm sorry
for purposely annoying Adam Wexler by putting on random sports
that make him upset.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):

recognized she saw and she started talking to her, and
she forgot frankly about paying my flowers. So I whispered

up the state in front of her directly, I said, today,

would be no. Man, come on, man, So I want
to apologize the eighty year old bitty that I said
today while we're young, when she's not young and I
was sitting there waiting to get my flowers paid for.
You know what, why are you always coming after old ladies,
defenseless old ladies? You know that's a bad reflection of character.
Quite frankly, you know you don't know how jacket the table.

not surprised.

Speaker 15 (01:09:27):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
So if you want to apologize for you being a
meani at the grocery store seven one three two one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven nine zero seven one three two one two
five seven ninety let's talk to our friend KESO now
Caso calls and he really uses this time as a
cathartic measure for his life, and we appreciate him. We

(01:09:50):
are certainly here if to hail hitting a lot of
crimes that he is. Keso, what are you apologizing for
this week?

Speaker 8 (01:09:59):
All right, guys, I have an absolute doozy for you today.
Let me start from the beginning. I'll make it quick.
I live here in the wonderful second Ward Eastwood, Edo,
whatever you want to call it. It's been here for
twelve almost thirteen years, and I've seen a couple crazy

(01:10:20):
things happen, but this was probably the craziest thing that
I've experienced. I was pulling out of my house on
the way to the grocery store with my wife, Ms. Kseo,
and We're at the closest intersection off of Harrisburg, and
it's off of Harrisburg, and I'm sitting there at the
light and there's this shady little gas station to the

(01:10:43):
left of us, and these half a million dollar homes
to the right of us. So I'm just sitting there
waiting for the light to go green, and all of
a sudden, this car just speeds out of the parking
lot reverse style. And then a guy comes running out
of the gas station saying, that's my car, that's my car.

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
And then the guy floored the truck and.

Speaker 8 (01:11:05):
I could tell it was stolen because it was he
was flooring it in first gear, a stick shift.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
He didn't know how to how to switch.

Speaker 8 (01:11:14):
Gears, and he just flies down, rubbing the engine twenty
miles an hour down Harrisburg. As this guy approaches me,
he sees that I'm filming everything from my car because
I'm in disbelief, runs up to my window and says,
that's my car.

Speaker 4 (01:11:31):
Man, you got to help me. Go get it. Come on,
let's go, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
And he runs around to the side of my car.
And while I'm filming, I go, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:11:39):
I can't help you. I can't help you. I ask
my wife in the car.

Speaker 8 (01:11:43):
I'm sorry, and then I take off and I watch
as his truck goes twenty miles down, twenty miles per
hour down Harrisburg, probably destroying his engine, and this four
gentleman running after his truck.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
And for that, I say sorry, sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
That doesn't make him feel any better. Honestly, you could apologize.
You're blue in the face. I mean, what are you
do in that situation. Dude, you do exactly what he did.
I mean, I guess you could try. I mean, if
you've got stuff to do, you can try. I mean
you could follow the car and call the police to
follow the car and tell them where they are.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
Until the guy gets smart and baiales out, that's an
interesting choose your own adventure. I'm gonna go ahead and
just do what Caeso did and call radio show two
days later and apologize.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
You're not gonna help out, You're not gonna you're not
gonna busy. Later, we will watch you go.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
We will watch your car go, leave the wife and
the Let me ask you this, if that happens today,
like we you and I are going, We're gonna have
some soup autter the show today.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Then I'm gonna go to the Toyter Center and take
a nap and then I have the game. Now, if
it happens during my potential nap time, that takes that
cuts into a nap.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
That's what I'm saying. It's context dependent. First of all,
if it's just you, that's fine. You don't want to
put your wife in danger with some stranger who's got
who's obviously gonna be in an emotional bad emotional state yep,
or hann forbid your children or whatever. If I was
by myself and I had nothing to do, I might
scoop the guy up.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
An I don't think.

Speaker 9 (01:13:28):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
I think it's easier for you to say this on
a radio show that it is in real life. I
think I might.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
I'm not saying. I'm saying I don't know. You never
know until you get in a situation, right, Okay, all right,
you're right. Maybe I would tell him to shut his
bass up, because then you're stuck with him. But I
like helping strangers. You like picking up strangers. I don't
know if I've ever picked up a stranger ever in
my life. Do people even hitchhike anymore? No, I actually
have seen one.

Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
It's rare, going to Bowling Green from Texas m and
they were just having enough thumb on it, like the
whole like out of a movie type of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
I saw one within the last year. I didn't pick
him up.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
Yeah, it's just it's twenty twenty five. Sadly, I mean,
it sat a truck, you know, just get the guy
in the back of the trip. Well, if it's a
bumpy or rye.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
You can't have him back there like that and fall
out of there like I'm not going off roading and
I'm on a highway future. If you're seventy five and
I'm putting some in the back, they go. We got
paved roads here in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
All right, A short time out then back on the phones.

with my contractor and he invited me to lunch. He
ended up taking me to lunch at Rurby's Rice House
and they don't serve food. And uh, several hours in

Speaker 7 (01:16:31):
Yes, it does.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
The toad on my front door, it's still it's still works.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Are your clothes on your h your driveway.

Speaker 9 (01:16:40):
You're still in the closet.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
The game tonight, so we're all good. Oh my gosh,
And what is she doing tonight?

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
I guess she's gonna hang out with her parents.

Speaker 16 (01:16:49):
They live down the street, which is a blessing and
a curse.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Zuri, do you have a rule about parental welcoming to
your home? They have to call ahead of time.

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
I prefer a text.

Speaker 16 (01:17:01):
You know, I'd like to I'd like to know they're
about to walk into my house, but they generally don't.
They just roll up on the golf cart. But you know,
you froze and cons you live with it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
But if they're good people, you accepted. Yes, oh, my
my in law, Yes, Oh they're great. Okay, so you
don't mind. I we have thank you for the phone call. Ryan,
my father in law, and when my mother in law
was still alive. They live about three miles from our house.
And one of the great things about them. Among many
things is they've never come over unannounced. Every time they

(01:17:34):
call or text or replete plant plan a visit, just
because you know it's just the right thing to do.
We don't go to their house unannounced. Yeah, vice versa.
That's good well courtesy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Yeah, I don't think you should, and I think you
should always announce when you're coming over somebody's house.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
I would agree. Nobody likes the unannounced popping because you
don't know what you're doing, what you're wearing, what you're
thinking about doing, what you want to rest, you want
to take a nap, you want to issue.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
If you came home a day early from your trip.
Who does that? You know he don't want to catch
something you want to see. Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
I got a long trip coming up too. Won't be
seeing the family for quite a while. James on seven, Oni,
what are you apologizing for?

Speaker 12 (01:18:17):
I'm apologizing to the Houston Texas because when they ain't
made that draft about man little wasted draft, but it's
turned out to be a really good draft. Everybody they
draft seem to be contributing. So I want to apologize.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
I didn't mean it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
Hey, all right, James, look at the apologize an entire organization.
You probably should apologize to Jayden Hill.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
Let me see, let's see Jayden Higgins coming along airing
on to Earth series, coming along.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
All the Jalens. What he's been good when he's healthy.

Speaker 4 (01:18:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
It was asked by Soren on his show about what
he marks long term, and I'm like, uh, I don't
think so.

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
I mean, I think he's got a spot on the roster,
but I don't think he's I don't even envision him being, say,
I don't know on Ashton Genty or something like no
third down back, Yeah, has the spot in the NFL
great blocking running back and third down back and out
of the backfield.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Yeah, you change of pace third down back, but not
a not a uh what are they called bell cow
carriers over? They call it bell cow, but there's only
a handful of bell cows in the whole NFL. By
the way, we've not had anybody call in today that
is a Dallas Cowboy fan. What's going on with that?
Are they toast?

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
What happened to that Cowboys fan that said trade us
Will Anderson for what was it for George Pickens or something? Yes,
By the way, George Pickens. He is getting his getting
on social media. He's getting crushed. Yeah, that is not good.
By the way, the Cowboys yesterday, well the Cowboys defense
showed up like we thought they would, giving up forty
four points.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
Oh that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:47):
That's pretty light. That's the light work for them. That
actually was a close game in the fourth quarter of
eight minutes left to go. Us so, but the Cowboys.
Now the standings in the NFC, the Cowboys are the
number ten.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
They are oh, they're two Dickson one, They're two and
a half back of San Francisco. They're toast, right, I think.
So that's a shame. Like the number seven seed. You
know who's not in the playoffs right now, the eight
and five Detroit Lions.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
Wow, So it's gonna take eleven wins to get into
the NFC, it feels like. And if that's the case,
the Cowboys can't get to eleven because they're six six
and one. Yet another season of no Dallas Cowboy playoff football.
I will say this, I applaud you, Houston, Texas because
the Cowboy fans of the last twenty five years have

(01:20:41):
been very braggadocious for absolutely no reason whatsoever, noxious and
they have been super silent this year. They've made trades,
They've signed guys, They've acquired receivers who are really good
when they want to be good, and they'll be lazy
when they want to be But yeah, George Pickens, if
you're a George Pickens fan, don't go on the Twitter
streets because the video of him basically doing with George
Pickens did as a Pittsburgh Steeler has been on display.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
For the Dallas Cowboys, especially.

Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
Was last night.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
And the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
A I wouldn't sit down say a heavy favorite, but
a decent sized favorite to win the NFC if the
playoffs were to begin today, would not be in them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Hmm. Should be fun down the stretch.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
NFC is even it feels like even more competitive than
the AFC is at this point. I think it's pretty
wide open, right, Seahawks probably the best two teams.

Speaker 7 (01:21:27):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
Are you ready to make Sam Darnell a NMC tattle contender?
What do we come with the I'm just saying they're good, Okay,
I said the Rams first.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Yeah, we are. We down on the Eagles to the
point of, uh, they're out? Are we just sleeping on
the Bears, or they're just not that good. I we
sleep on the Packers, could be.

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
Always sleep on the Buccaneers, who can score thirty five
points of their eyes closed. Bears are plus are nine
to three with a plus six point differential. Fine, I'm
calling it paper tiger frondsters. They are the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Be Braudler.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
I'm putting the Bears on fraud alert. I have the
Jaguars on faralert, and I've been there all I should too.
By the way, I do believe.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
With that being said, I do.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
I think I want Jacksonville beating Indianapolis because I think
if you beat the Colts again, I think they are
so down on the doldrums that this is a free
fall they can't get out of.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
You beat them.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
If the Colts beat the Jaguars this week, they get
their mojo back.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
And you want to win the AFC South though, so
and you don't play the Jaguars anymore. So maybe it
would go to win and then beat the Colts. It
go of the AFC South records, would it go to So?
All right, eleven fifty eight, we need to wake the
strippers up.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Ross. You're ready to do that, yes, all right. We
got the news at noon coming up as well, including
an anecdotal note about Kevin Durant. Something specially could happen
tonight inside Tota Center besides me being there. Okay, it's
Rockets and Suns. It's all been fifty eight on Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):

his Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 10 (01:23:36):
Yeah, I admit it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
I would like to see four to five major injuries
at Oklahoma City thunder Wow. Listen, being honest, Have you
no decency, mister Thomas? Have you no shame?

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
I have zero shame. I need my Rockets to win
the championship for multiple reasons. I need a ring, I
need the boat, chrisp the playoff bonus, and I need
a opportunity to uh enjoy the life that is the
NBA world. And if it takes some injuries to make
that happen.

Speaker 2 (01:24:04):
Not cancer, but just like you know, maybe I don't know,
uh acl tears, rib cage, maybe separated shoulder or something
like that, Tommy John. Maybe I don't know, Tommy John.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Yeah, you never heard of a basketball player getting Tommy
John's always the first time for everything. Okay, ladies, job
in twelve six is the time. It is the Matt
Thomas Show of Rosses and Anything Goes Friday. Ross explained
the essence of an Anything Goes Friday. Yes, Matthew, anything
you want to get into. We'll cover some top sports
news items of the day momentarily, but anything sports related

(01:24:37):
or not sports related. We've been talking steak nuggets for
some reason. We've been talking mcribs, We've been talking anything text,
the game coming up, worst Christmas songs we were talking
about earlier as well. Seven one, three, two, two, five,
seven ninety also women's beach uh soccer full breakdown as well.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
It's just a five seveney. It's kind of a low
paced game because you have to run in sand. Yeah,
it's it's I mean, soccer itself sucks, it's not there.
Flowing it down makes it work. I mean it's four
to one. You're you always complain about scoring. There's been
some goals.

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
There's like thirty yard field then man, but they've been
scoring some colossos. Actually, these chicks can kick, all right.
It's just fine. It's just a slow paced game because
you nobody runs fast and sand. I mean, look, unless
you're Rocky. Do we have yeah, he did run fast
and sand. Do we have the draw for the World
Cup announced yet? I have no idea we should find

(01:25:30):
out right now during the news and news Is it
all still TVD?

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
I don't know. I'm looking. Is it happening that was
supposed happen? I mean, just wake me up when when
the games start.

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
I mean, it's interesting to talk about, but I'm not
going to really heavy and heavily invest my my life
in which teams are going to beat USA's ass in
the World Cup. Hopefully they get a little favorable FIFA corruption.
Good draw, all right? Anyways, Man, a lot of stuff
going on in the news at noon. Of course, you
have the Rockets in action tonight again it's the Phoenix Suns.

(01:26:01):
You have the Texans in action Sunday night football against
the Kansas City Chiefs. Both must win games for each
of their respective teams. Matt, every game is a must
win in the Western Conference, and the Texans must win
against the Kansas City Chiefs to exercise the demons of
Pat Mahomes and Andy Reid elsewhere in the news, though
we talked about this earlier. Lebron James only scores eight points.

(01:26:25):
His double digit point streak ends. The Lakers did win
the game. Lebron James did have an opportunity to tie
the game and shoot a basket and get his double
digit scoring streak, but he whipped a pass to the
corner to a wide open Rui Hachimura, who hit the
three pointer and they won the game.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
So he's team Lebron, He's team Lakers.

Speaker 3 (01:26:47):
So asked after the game what he thought about the
streak ending, he said, no thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
We won the game a selfless act from Lebron, him
burning up his streak. He made the right play. I
do believe him now, Is he is he saying? Is
he saying at the end of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
Like at a quiet time when he's by himself, he's
gonna reflect and say, dang, the streak is over.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
That sucks. But I think he's happier that they won
the game. Yeah, all right, speaking of the Rockets and Suns,
when you briefly brought up, go to the game tonight
or listen to it here on seven ninety Cal Durant
needs four points for thirty one thousand in his NBA career. Wow,
he would tie Lebron for third fastest in the history
of doing it. This is game number eleven forty one

(01:27:30):
for Kevin Durant coming up, and that's where Lebron got
to his thirty one thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:27:34):
Only two people do it faster. This should comes no surprise.
Kareem Michael, Jeffrey Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain who win. Wilt
Jordan did it in one thoy eleven games. Durant will
have and Lebron will have done it in one thousand
and forty one games. All time Great at all time
rate is playing in your town two nights, yes, on

(01:27:55):
a Friday, and get there like before seven o'clock. Matt,
How many years did you get at.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
Seven fifteen ish? Maybe? I don't know. Just don't hold
your breath. Just asking second? Happy either?

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
That a second half?

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
I'm getting light headed. I need to I can't wait
to crush his food after to it. Can I buy
you a lunch or something? Kay, you're buying me lunch?
You are No, I'm saying I can buy you a lunch. No,
we're doing all you can eat lunch at two o'clock.
I'm saving for that. I actually and I WoT Rginia
this morning coming to work. Who has a Whopper Junior
for breakfast? This guy and you would be hating on
Burger King. Yes, no, no, I don't hate on Burger

(01:28:33):
had on their fries. Their fries or not not great?

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
Their fries suck.

Speaker 7 (01:28:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Anyways.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
Elsewhere in the news, Kyler Murray is out for the rest.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Of the season.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
According to head coach Jonathan Gannon, he has a wink
week foot injury that wink wink hasn't progressed to the
point to where he could play. According Arizona Cardinals. No,
I think I'm good, okay, Jonathan Gannon. Believe him or not, Matt,
I just feel bad for the quarterback. He got hurt

(01:29:07):
and he wasn't healthy enough to play. So I mean
that's first and foremost, that's where I would leave it
right now. Uh No, I think Conler Murray and probably
the Cardinals have gotten sideways with each other, and the
Cardinals are deeply regarding the money they've spent on him.
I saw a tweet that made me chuckle. Go ahead
and get ready for Kyler Murray to the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
Well, down right, I send a mid quarterback. Take they
take all the quarterback scraps, give them all those Steelers.
He could be a Las Vegas rater. You never know,
that makes sense too, ye who knows where he could
end up? All right?

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Moving along, you had Thursday night football last night, as
the Dallas Cowboys lost forty four to thirty two of
the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. One of the big
stories after the game was George Pickings Ceedee Lamb exit
of the game with a concussion early in the third quarter,
a couple of plays where people felt like George Pickens

(01:30:02):
was not giving his full best effort. Richard Sherman blasting
him for his quote half ass effort after the game,
George Pickens throughout the game, especially late in the game,
just looks uninterested in playing football. That's what you cannot have.
You can never be disengaged. It doesn't matter if the
game's going your way or not going your way. You

(01:30:23):
can't disappear in these games or else you're not gonna
have an impact. George Pickens disinterested in a football game.
We've never heard that before, never, or maybe we have.
And there you go, Matt, that's your News at noon.
All Right, today's college financing report. We'll focus on East Lansing, Michigan,

(01:30:44):
home of the Spartans of Michigan State. Congratulations to Greg
and Don Williams. They felt very charitable. They just wrote
a check to Michigan State University for four hundred and
one million dollars. Who two hundred and ninety of that
is going to athletics. Of course, the overall one billion

(01:31:09):
dollars in fundraising by Michigan State was a campaign launched
this week and promoted by Magic Johnson. Well, so far
he's forty percent of the way there with one person,
one group of people. So Jonathan Smith was the former coach.
He had a buy out of thirty plus million dollars.
He got the check and said, gone easy pace. He

(01:31:30):
paid for because this nice couple decided to pay thirty
million dollars to go away. Pat Fitzgerald's got a new
five year contract to be the coach of Michigan State.
We're thirty million dollars. They are also giving one hundred
million dollars as part of on top of the four
hundred and one million to something called Spartan Ventures, a
nonprofit tech extemption corporation set up to raise funds for

(01:31:50):
the athletic department.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
So there's your collective. There it all it takes.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
And I went to dinner last night with a couple
of text totech read and they were getting so upset
because people were mad at them because another all of
a sudden good. All it takes now is decent leadership,
decent facilities, decent athletes, and a lot of cash, straight cash, homie,
it's beautiful. Get these pairs players paid. Let's go see. Look,

(01:32:20):
Michigan State can get in the game, Texas Tech can get.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
In the game.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
I didn't say it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
I didn't make the list. I'm just reading it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
It's Ai generated. Oh okay, it's dangerous, Okay. So, ladies
and gentlemen, that was the prediction. Why did you choose
that song as a prediction? So don't stop thinking about
tomorrow even though it's Sunday. I was gonna say, I
can think about something about tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
Song about the future.

Speaker 3 (01:35:56):
I am a guy that has done a woeful job
of predicting final score some games.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
So are you before I do it. Are you sure
you want me to do this? Yeah, I'm one hundred
percent sure it. Get off the fence.

Speaker 3 (01:36:07):
Let's go Houston Texans will defeat the Kansas City Chiefs
twenty to sixteen.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
Oh no, that does make me worried. Now you're doing
this on purpose. You're reverse jinxing. I see what you're doing.
I'm not wow terrible. No, you asked me for a prediction.
I gave you one. Twenty to sixteen.

Speaker 4 (01:36:26):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
I think the Texans pass rush, we've already talked about,
three fifths of the of the offensive line is either
hurt or not good. That's in their place. There's no
running game to speak of. And the fact is the
Texans secondary has had even with no Lasser, probably it's
still very very good. I think there has been so
much heavy lifting for Pat Mahomes and granted the games

(01:36:50):
at home, but this is a different Texans football team.
If the Texans are ever going to really be who
Texans fans want them to be, they have to go
win the game, have to go do something that they
have never really have they ever won in Kansas City ever,
I'm sure they've done at least once. I'm sure they
probably have, But I mean it's a long line of futility.
Matt Castle or someone, Yeah, Dave Craig when he was there,

(01:37:15):
was that a narrowhead when when Andre Johnson had that
big catch against the Chiefs or was at at home?

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Was Trent Green the quarterback? I mean we're going back
that far they beat I'm sure they've.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
Beaten Alex Smith before, have they not? Probably point being
get up there, you're on paper a better football team.
You have the momentum, and you have a chance to
kick out the AFC champions or from being a playoff team.
Goude go do something this franchise has been asking to do.
Go get a super big road win and get in

(01:37:46):
the playoffs and get rid of a potential team of
get in your way. Because if you go to the
Kansas City and you win and you lose Ross, you
still can make the playoffs. But confidence will be mid
because beating Arizona Lowe Vegas ain't gonna You can't beat
your chess or beating those two teams, you just can't.
You can beat your chest to be Kansas City. Yeah,

(01:38:06):
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
They just have to.

Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
They have to make enough plays. It's gonna be a one.
It feels like it's gonna be a one score game.
Kansas City has been in a million one score games. Yep,
Texans have been in a million one score games. Because
they both don't have good offen there's a reason the
total as low as it is. The thing that does
scare me is if it comes down to game management.
As we talked with Sore and Petro earlier, like Andy
Reid's good game manager, it also helps have Pat Mahomes

(01:38:28):
to be a good game manager. And quite frankly, Demiko
ryans that's one of his major deficiencies as a head coach.
And by the way, when we say that, and I
feel like we have to say this about once every
week or so, Demiko is not an exceptional game manager.
He ain't the only one. Doesn't mean he's not buying
large a good football coach. The guys love him and

(01:38:50):
that's the most important thing. He has created this defense,
which is one of the five best defenses maybe in
the last twenty years in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:38:57):
And that's that too much of embellishment. One of the
best in the last twenty years. Yeah, you don't want
to go there yet.

Speaker 3 (01:39:04):
Could be it could be now as I said, it's
not it's not the eighty five Bears, not the two
thousand Ravens. But it's it's as good as I mean.
It has carried one side of the ball has carried
the other.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
This entire season.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
What are you talking about? I'll me be don't hit
on money meals Davis money mills like that. Okay, he's
the greatest things in sliced bread. Just ask some Texans
fans like Darlene saying stuff like that, or is it okay?
Well that I don't really counts. By the way, I
have a poll question up on the Twitter account at
sports mt. Who wins sixty nine percent? Texans thirty one percent?

Speaker 2 (01:39:44):
Chiefs. If you'd like to vote on the pole question,
it's added sports MT. I voted for the Texans.

Speaker 3 (01:39:52):
Okay, good, well, you're part of the sixty nine percent.
Then let's go all right, twenty to sixteen, low scoring game,
take the under, take the points if you're so inclined
to bet on these things. I said, twenty three to eighteen, Okay,
that'd be a right. What is the number forty two
and a half somewhere there? That would be So it
was forty one and a half last night. Look I
can go look again. Yeah, which is very low. All right,

(01:40:13):
So let's let's run through the scenarios. Then I'm gonna
put this case. You are the Texans fan of the
two of us. Whoo if the Texans win, tell me
what your life is like Monday when we open the
show at ten o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
And they're going to the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
I mean, I don't know what the exact math would be,
but their playoff ods are going to go off to Mathah.
Not only winning, it's winning a conference game, and it's
winning a game against a team that is also in
the thick of the same running you're in, and you
get the head to head tiebreaker.

Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
But from an.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
Emotional standpoint, you are on Claude nine because you have
finally won in Kansas City, cold weather game on the road,
and you have started to slay the dragon.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
You know, I've been saying the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
I'm not saying it's happening, but you've been saying popping
it in my head the berl AFC contenders, which we're
saying the same thing, but yours sounds crazier than what
I'm saying. No, because we said it's wide open championship contenders,

(01:41:17):
which they are right now.

Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
But if you make the playoffs, aren't you automatally an
AFC championship contendent. Did you feel like they were contender
last year? No, Darling did. No, it didn't feel like
they were close last year, last two years? How about this?
How about can I tell you this?

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
There will be seven teams that will make the AFC playoffs,
all seven of them. I could legitimately have an argument
for to win the whole Last year we didn't feel
like it because the Chiefs were very good, the Bills
were insane, the Ravens were good. Everybody's vulnerable this year
that we just named Yeah, yeah, all right, so I've
given you all all the flowers here. Monday, ten o'clock,

(01:41:55):
Texans lose the game to Kansas City. How do you
think you will be feeling?

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
I'll be okay, I will it almost be like, uh,
did you get too excited? Did you get too excited?

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
I thought I did, and then I predicted them to
upset the Colts and then they did it, and they
look like clearly the better team in that game. That's
the thing, Like they were better than the Bills, and
it was at home on a short week, so that
was kind of like, eh, whatever, Like go on the
road and look better than the Colts. And if they
go on the road and look better than the Chiefs,

(01:42:28):
I'm feeling good. I'm gonna give you the national narrative.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
If they win, you will have everybody in their mother
and this is going to be something that we have
not had in the history of this city. If the
Texans beat the Colts this Sunday in Kansas City, you
will have the national pundits not again, whether you choose
to believe them, ignore them, treat their words as gospel.

(01:42:53):
You will hear Super Bowl attach the word Texans. I
promise you that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:43:00):
If the Texans beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, and
you know what you should Patriots are the favorites right now.
I guess Patriots and Broncos, you know, and I'm you
know what, I'm not calling put them on fraud alert.
But I'm not scared of the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (01:43:12):
I am the Patriots. If they lose the game, the
narrative is not going to be.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
The Texans were fraudulent or they finally they show that
they're true colors or they are who they've always been.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
The argument will be on the Monday after on the
national shows. Again. You can choose to listen or mute.
I won't. We'll see for a second.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Don't sleep on the Chiefs. Yeah, that's a big game.
It's a week two week league. That's the NFL. Yeah,
Week three, the Texans were the worst ever and they're
never going to do anything. You beat the Chiefs this weekend,
we're talking about going to the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
That's how it works.

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
And Jonathan, that's why I brought it up. If Kansas
City wins, you better be ready as you're getting your
cereal about hearing about the Chiefs being an AFC tech
can title contenders. If you guys make a bet, or
he's just been salty, he's just been solid.

Speaker 2 (01:43:59):
Okay. He said they were gonna win out and win
the AFC as a whole. I did not say. I
did not predict that. I said, don't sleep on them
doing it. Wanted to check the thing. I wasn't here.
I wasn't here win the whole AFC ck.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
I could they could win the AMC, but you gotta
watch us to tell the truth, but you could I
can easily amend that because you're kicking them down the ladder.
If you beat them period into story, you're kicking them
down the ladder and it may be too much for
them to overcome.

Speaker 2 (01:44:29):
I'm just saying seven one.

Speaker 3 (01:44:32):
Three two, one two five seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ninety We've got doctor Rotal
coming up in one twenty five minutes. We'll get those
fantasy football questions ready for the good doctor. He's coming
up in a short period of time here on Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
We've not talked much about the Astros offseason because I've
never heard of the people they're signing. Astros yesterday made
a minor trade, acquiring minor league right hander Nico Zegglin
from the Cubs for international bonus pool money. Zegglin is
twenty five years old.

Speaker 3 (01:45:11):
He pitched an A ball in twenty twenty four and
missed the twenty twenty five season due to injury. Wait
a minute, he was twenty three years old pitching an
A ball and he's gonna pitch one hundred and fifty
five innings for the Astros of an era A two
point sixty six let's go. I don't even know who
the other dude is that was they signed. I mean,
I will legitimately. He was in the Mexican League. Yeah, Zegglin,

(01:45:34):
he was playing for a Tabasco. I'm proud of us,
neither of us making a Tabasco pun.

Speaker 2 (01:45:46):
Good job.

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
I was gonna go with then East Bounding Down reference,
but it's been a few years since it show's been on,
so I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
He played for the Charles at Guinea Powers. That's short
list greatest comedy show of all time. Of the shows
that he did, Eastbounding Down by far, the best, Vice
Principals was a distant second, and then the Righteous Jemstones
just fell off the map. Those little clips show up
in my YouTube algorithm. Which one is the Eastbounded Down?

Speaker 2 (01:46:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
Eastbounding Down cause the little kids Shrek phenomenal. Anyways, Vice
Principals Okay, and then again he's Rights Jimsones.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
People say, I know people they love it.

Speaker 3 (01:46:27):
Yeah, I mean there are parts of it that are hysterical,
but there it just got so freaking weird and too
many male genitalia shots for anyone.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
To look at.

Speaker 3 (01:46:36):
Okay, there is one of those in Walkcard, which I
keep telling you to watch. Excuse me, Walk Hard movie. Yeah,
I'm good. Yeah, mister cinema Matt Thomas.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
Yeah, did you see the twenty five best movies that
twenty five came out? I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:46:53):
I only saw one of them. I think that a
zero twenty four. One battle after another.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
I'm done.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
I'm down to basically watching anything that's on the Netflix
apples and then biopicks I'll go see. I'm I'm actually
going to see so when uh when I take my
time off? One battle after another and Sinners are coming
back in seventy millimeters imax, Matt, So I'm gonna go
see them out in Dallas. Only one theater in Texas
is showing him.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
It's in Dallas. Why does Dallas get over Houston?

Speaker 3 (01:47:18):
Uh, well, they don't have any seventy millimeter screen imaxes
here in Houston. So what will seventy milimeters do that
other ones don't. It's supposed to be a bigger, more
immersive experience. They only have one in San Antonio and
one in Dallas, I think, are the only ones in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Lost time Houston is checked your game up?

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
Well, I know they're the the seventy millimeter Imax of
Christopher Nolans and The Odyssey has already sold out and
that doesn't come out until next summer.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
I'll watch them at DVR, Hannah, i'max. It's a great experience.

Speaker 11 (01:47:47):
Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
It's fine seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven ninety
If you want to chime in, it's anything goes Friday.
Uh are you a little disappointed in the fact that
we've had enough to chew on Astros offseason wise?

Speaker 7 (01:48:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
I'm not either. What are we expecting, folks, Come on,
we're expecting minor Lakers have never heard of it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:08):
I mean we we got Maurice who dubond traded that
was a hot ticket for a couple of days to
talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
Yeah, and uh, ramon Uria is not being tendered.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
And if Jake Myers is going to be gone, I
mean it's just two years a club control left, right,
I think that's what it is. Yes, but he's made
what do we figure out what he filed that or
what happened with that? There's no arbitration and he make
a deal. I forgot, Well, let me ask you this,
and you and I are not a town evaluators. But
we know at the very top who Jake Myers is.

(01:48:41):
We know what he is at the very bottom, and
that is a soft hitting, injured player. The middle of
that is, oh, come on, you know he's had injuries
the last couple of years. How many games you played
last year? He didn't play the last week, Well, he
would have if they carried off their field. Oh he
only played. Oh I thought he played more than this.

(01:49:02):
He only played one hundred and four, Okay, one hundred
and forty eight the year before. So let's put the difference.
A now standing defensive player, Yes that win plays on
a regular basis, is about a two to eighty hitter
with very minimal power but good on base percentage, good
bass dealer, excellent defensive player, and all around small fela
and is cheap relatively speaking.

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
Yes, So what what I just describe? You get you
what in return?

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
If you look, if if Danna Brown is insistent on
going after a starting pitcher as part of a Jake
Myers compensation package, what does that get you?

Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
Is I get you a number three starter, number four?
It's kind of I don't get you an Ace. I
don't I feel like it gets you. You know, I
feel it gets you.

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
A guy that was eleven and ten of any area
of four and a half, it'd be some some starter
where they like a couple of his traits or one
of his pitches that they need to use more than
they think that they can tinker and get here and
turn him into something like what Hayden was an escue
was before he ripped his elbow in half.

Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
You know, somebody that we.

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
Looked at Hayden wasn't Esking were like a numbers aren't
that great. But clearly the astro saw some stuff in
that I can't even remember what the pitch mix was
that they liked, and they wanted to throw more curveball
or whatever. And he was successful here before he got hurt.
All I'm saying is when the trade is done and
Jake is gone, I predict ross it's gonna be for
somebody we've very seldom heard of.

Speaker 2 (01:50:29):
Yeah, then we're gonna be like you traded Jake Myers
for this slum.

Speaker 3 (01:50:35):
It's gonna because whoever they trade for probably gonna have
team control, probably arbitration as well.

Speaker 2 (01:50:40):
You need an arm.

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
You you have guys Jacob Melton can come in and
fill that good glove, soft hitting role, and he has
more value as a lefty than Jake does as a righty.
And maybe injury concerns are part of the package, which
also again is gonna go to the fact that other
teams have they have I mean maybe yeah, but the

(01:51:01):
other teams. Yeah, if if he's mister injury pronly is
always gonna hurt. Nobody was gonna trade for him. So
I mean, I don't I don't think that is a concern.
I would put the percentage chance of Jake Myers being
on this team in spring training at zero percent. Okay,
I'll put it at six point five. Okay, that sounds
about right. I mean, if he's on the team, you win.

Speaker 2 (01:51:19):
By way.

Speaker 3 (01:51:20):
We ran the algorithm a few times, you really a
few million iterations. That's what I'm afraid of, is that.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
I you know, like when the trade was made for
that uh, soft hitting infielder for the Braves, in the
deal with Mauricio Dubon, We're gonna be underwhelmed in the.

Speaker 3 (01:51:36):
Regular name what was his name, Nick Allen or something.
I believe he had a regular name. I think his
name is Mark Jones. I don't know, but I think
we're gonna have the day of two of Astro's discontent.

Speaker 2 (01:51:46):
Who is this guy? I've never heard of him, and
you're you're training for a guy with any area of
four and a half five.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Yeah, they're gonna throw uh, They're gonna throw Zach Cole
out there, They're gonna throw Jacob Melton out there. People
are saying Bryce Matthews could be a name play some outfield,
so they'll they'll have options when, if, and when they
get rid of Jake Myers. Do you think Bryce Matthews
has a leash here because of the fact that it
was a it was a Dana Brown guy, right, you

(01:52:12):
know what I mean, wasn't Dan He's a major league player.
He's got obviously. I mean, it's gonna be how many
something have you heard this before? Got a lot of
power strikes out a lot You girls had said about
ninety percent of minor leaguers, Trey Cabbage, Zach Dezenzo. You
drop a Drake Cabbage on us, Trey Cabbage, Zach Denzo,
Jake Melton, Bryce Matthews, tremendous upside needs season needs some

(01:52:37):
AB's by the way, you throw Cam Smith in the
mix on that too, because I would say Dana Brown was.

Speaker 2 (01:52:40):
Like Zach Coley, well camp Smith.

Speaker 3 (01:52:44):
We weren't seeing power or anything. We just weren't seeing contact.
I mean, the book got out on him and.

Speaker 4 (01:52:49):
He was just.

Speaker 2 (01:52:53):
He's fighting for a spot now, no guarantee he makes
the major league team, said Joe. A spot at the
end of the year, said Dana Brown or Brown, and
one of them. Joe's like, I'll need I need to
ever whoever I can get to help me because I
need to keep my job. It is weird you get
lame duck seasons for both Dana Brown and for Joe
a spot in the final season. Not often happening, but

(01:53:15):
in the.

Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
World of sports today, smart teams don't start paying people
way ahead of time. College football could take a note
of that, right, College football, what's the first thing you
do with team wins the game? You extend them as
fast as you can and you're stuck with big contracts.
How long are they gonna let Jimmy Sexton run run
these guys into the run these programs into the ground,

(01:53:37):
and these these giant buyouts. When is somebody gonna wise
up and say, you know, what we we can win
as long as we have our nie. You got to
get the boosters together and say, hey, as long as
we pay for players, we don't need to pay these
these certain coat unless you're talking about a handful of
coaches who are real difference makers. Like if the Aggies
next year go eight and four, well, there'd be people going,
what are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
What are we doing? Michael?

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
Yeah, it was happening after the game. After the game,
people were like, Michael Coo, you can't win with Michael Coo.
It's crazy. I think Mike Elko is a very good
football coach. He's a very good coach. But is he replaceable?
I think so absolutely. I Mean, the previous place he
was was Duke. It wasn't like it was a football
factory there. The name I'll keep bringing up, Joey McGuire.
What happened, by the way, what happened when he was fired?

(01:54:18):
When he was hired at Texas Tech football and genius
or who the heck is this guy?

Speaker 2 (01:54:22):
Yeah? Not great at Texas Tech. You get fifty million
dollars in il all of a sudden, he's a top
five genius. You can pay for defenses after all, while
it's crazy hacking birthday wishes out to uh an og
Resu to home sixty one years old today. How's she doing? Uh?

(01:54:45):
Looks great? Good for her.

Speaker 3 (01:54:50):
Yep rockets tonight at home for the hated Phoenix Suns.

Speaker 11 (01:54:56):
And what else?

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):
DeLand Greens Hamstring still done? Yeah, no, Jaylen Green, No,
Devin Booker, No Devin Booker.

Speaker 4 (01:55:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55:05):
Uh you know what, I can't make it to the
arena all of a sudden, Wait a minute, I think
we're going to bond today for the show. I'm busy,
all right, that's fine. Oh wait, actually yeah, I'll go okay,
And what else? We got a Big twelve Championship game
tomorrow eleven o'clock. Uh save travels with my son and

(01:55:25):
his buddies that are going up there to see their
beloved TEXTA Tech Red Raiders and h B Yu. Cougar's
sold out, by the way, there would be the first
cell out in Big twelve Championship history. Really stadium. That's great.

Speaker 3 (01:55:40):
They've sold it out before and Arrowhead, but they this
will be the first time I think a Jerry world
they've sold it out, so good for them and Jerry
not particularly pleased at by us. There because that's alcohol
sales drops. But again text tech kind of evens it out.
Uh huh, so coffee sales will be up?

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
No, oh wait till coffee. I'm sorry, No tea, no
root beers, and sprite its up.

Speaker 3 (01:56:03):
It's ridiculous. I mean what, it's their religion. Okay, fine,
it's great. Yeah, you know to each.

Speaker 2 (01:56:14):
You may not agree with it, but you know it's
gonna say.

Speaker 4 (01:56:19):
Fine.

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
Sal On seven ninety and twelve fifty four. Sal Good
afternoon to you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:56:26):
How are you doing today?

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
Good?

Speaker 14 (01:56:29):
I wish you didn't bring up the Oilers in uh
Kansas City game. I was the last game I went
to at the Astrodome, and I've been having flashbacks for
three days of Chris Dishman getting beat by Joe Montana
in the fourth Oh geez.

Speaker 4 (01:56:43):
But anyway, stay with me on this.

Speaker 14 (01:56:47):
I'm thinking this is more like a gut feeling that
the Astros are pairing down this team because they just
recently saw that Tampa Bay Rays get sold for one
point six billion dollars and if that's what Tampa Bay
is worth, they're going to probably send some feelers out
to see what it's worth.

Speaker 11 (01:57:06):
So that's just I've got a.

Speaker 14 (01:57:08):
Sneaky feeling that maybe Jim Crane is going to shop
around sometime during the season and maybe make a big
profit and head off into the sunset.

Speaker 3 (01:57:18):
First of all, we would have absolutely no indication of
that whatsoever. But I will say, I don't know how
much the Crane kids want the baseball team. I don't
I really don't have an answer for you on that.
I know they're not intimately involved in the organization. Like
Patrick Fortita, one of Tillman's sons, is now running things

(01:57:40):
for the Rockets.

Speaker 11 (01:57:41):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
I think Cal's kids are too young to be an
active part of the Texans organization.

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
But I don't know there.

Speaker 3 (01:57:49):
I just know for the fact that two of Jim's
kids don't have anything to do with the team except
just go to the games. So you now have like
six or seven kids Jim Crane does Cal got a bunch, Yeah,
two different wives, quite fertile, barely quite frisky.

Speaker 2 (01:58:07):
Point being is this.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
I usually can tell a trend based off of how
all the kids are, and there has been no sign
that the Astros one of.

Speaker 2 (01:58:14):
The son's supposed to be involved with the baseball ops
or something. I don't think so. I don't think that.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
I think it was discussed. It was discussed, for sure,
but it was perhaps in name online. Okay, how old's
Jim gotta be one? You know, I aims Robert Crane.
Now my guess is now, also, when you have other
things going on, like Jim's logistics company is one of
the world wide leaders in that, So I mean there's

(01:58:40):
stuff to fall back on. Plus it's also I would
say if I if I own a sports team in
twenty twenty five, I wouldn't get rid of it. All
they do is their values go up. Unless you just
want that, you didn't want the headache of it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:53):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
It feels like massive returns. But can that happen forever?
That's what I'm curious about. I think we were saying
that twenty years ago could have happened forever. Yes, the
answer is yes. Well, I've mean relative to inflation, yeah,
they can keep growing and growing.

Speaker 2 (01:59:07):
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:59:08):
I think you do hit a You're gonna hit a
brick wall at some point. I just don't know when
that's gonna be. How long is Tillman on the rockets?
About nine or ten years? Eight nine years and the
value of that's gone up triple. Yes, NFL franchises, they've grown,
they've grown greatly worldwide. Yeah, I mean, do you just
go take over the world? Is Major League Baseball take

(01:59:30):
over the world? NFL is trying to explain the worldwide reach.
That's the next frontier for them, all of them. To
Sala's point, if the Rays are going for one point
six billion, they put in two dollars a year in
the operation. By the way, they're going back to Tropic
Cana the field this year. Oh really, Yeah, they're gonna
they think they're gonna be ready for the light over
the top. I think they've put some sort of like
a balloon covering or something. They stapled some garbage bags,

(01:59:52):
the hefty dough. Yeah, let's get to doctor Rotornecks. You
want to everybody, let's all right, youre gonna work on
believe it or not. Yeah, give me a topic. Uh,
you want to go with our girl.

Speaker 2 (02:00:02):
Sixty one years old today, Marisito to Let's do it,
Marisa te May, Happy birthday, girl.

Speaker 3 (02:00:07):

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
Should I do it? Bron's next twelve fifty eight on
Sports Talk seven, Thank.

Speaker 4 (02:00:24):
You, Jess.

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 15 (02:00:43):
Waiver, Claims have to be made and I've got trade
proposless fly in my way. My first round pig turned
out to be a big flop.

Speaker 17 (02:01:02):
I don't know which what receiver I need to drive.
Doctor Routo gave me the new Who's I really don't
know what I should do. My quarterback keeps getting sacked.
I've got a bad keys of fair Deceive Blue.

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
It is the fastest thirty minutes in major market radio.

Speaker 3 (02:01:29):
And Ross, did you know that Doctor Odo, besides being
the number one Fantasy football expert in America, is an
accomplished volleyball player and coach.

Speaker 2 (02:01:37):
How about that? I did not know that at that road.

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
It's awesome. It's a great support. The tournament's getting fired up.
And then, man, yes, Rodalho, the hell are you?

Speaker 4 (02:01:47):
I'm doing great? I was so proud of your daughter.
You'd be a starting center. You are right, So we.

Speaker 2 (02:01:52):
Gotta get her there.

Speaker 3 (02:01:53):
Our goal is to be a ten Freshman of the Year.
We're gonna work on that for next year, but we
gotta we gotta get up there.

Speaker 4 (02:01:58):
First, presser, no pressure.

Speaker 10 (02:02:00):
All right.

Speaker 3 (02:02:00):
Let me ask you this, because I think the Cowboys
are toast the rest of the way, and there's other
teams that are already long set and done. How are
we feeling, generally speaking about the vegas Is of the world,
the Jets, some of our fantasy football players that are
long out of the playoffs? Can we can we still
thrive on them on Sundays? Are we worried as hell
about how ambitious they are? Like I'll give you an example.

(02:02:22):
George Pickens last night against the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 4 (02:02:25):
Man didn't it look like he was jogging in the field.
I mean there was a play at the end, we're
back through that bomb. He just laid up. I mean,
I don't know whether he's injured. I'm not sure what's
going on. But when you want a big contract, which
we know Pickens does, you can't be doing stuff like that.
So I think you answer ask a really great question.
So years ago on Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio, I

(02:02:46):
had Jake Arians on Bruce Arians's son, and I was
talking about, you know, to our teams trying for next
year's top pick. He goes. Players don't think that way.
Players want to win, right, even if they haven't won
a game all year. Nobody wants to lose. So I
think the key is in fantasy. Look is Ashton gent
He is still a good fantasy player. He is, He's

(02:03:06):
just on a bad team. I think what you're going
to see as we move forward are these incentives. And
I know that happens a lot in week seventeen and eighteen.
If this guy gets a certain number of yards, he
gets an extra two hundred and fifty thousand, extra five
hundred thousands. You got to pay attention to those things.
So when I see those things, I'll certainly bring them
up on air for people because that'll help deciding who

(02:03:26):
to start. But obviously, this is why when we draft
early in August, we want players on good teams, because
players on the bad teams, like the Jets, they're not going.

Speaker 2 (02:03:36):
Far all right.

Speaker 3 (02:03:37):
Speaking of two teams that had lousy weekends last Sunday,
Pittsburgh was atrocious in the second half.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
Baltimore kept turning the ball over.

Speaker 3 (02:03:45):
How we feel about anybody in skill positions Between the
Steelers and the Ravens, This week.

Speaker 4 (02:03:50):
You're gonna laugh at me. I think I told you
last week I like Carolina to play well against the Rams,
and they did. I think Lamar Jackson's gonna be a
great week.

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
I do.

Speaker 4 (02:03:58):
I think he's gonna have a great week. Just when
you bury guys, just when you think that they're going
to do nothing, they start to do something. Now, Pittsburgh
also plays a lot of single high man coverage, and
that's Dave Flowers loves that. So Lamar to day feels
like something that's gonna win people money this week in DFS.
I think Lamar is a good play. Mark Andrews is
a good play. Garrett Henry is a good play. On

(02:04:21):
the other side, I don't really love any Steelers. I mean,
maybe DK Metcalf, but I don't love it. Maybe Jalen Warren,
but I think Baltimore rolls on this one.

Speaker 3 (02:04:29):
I'm hoping you're right about Zay Flowers. He got me
a minus four point four. I've in better use just
forgetting about the position and getting zero as compared to
my I mean too, fumble.

Speaker 2 (02:04:38):
Is terrible, terrible. I digress Indianapolis and Jacksonville. Did you
see what Jonathan Taylor didn't do against the Texans defense
this past week, and what does that mean for this
week at Jacksonville.

Speaker 4 (02:04:52):
I think there's gonna be a really good game. It's
one of the highest scoring games in the FLATE. And look,
they have to feed Jonathan Taylor. He hasn't had one
of those touchdown weeks in a long time, right, so
maybe he gets one this week. But I think this
is gould be a competitive game. Daniel Jones in play.
I really like Michael Pittman this week, and I really
like Tyler Waarn and I like Taylor on the other side.

(02:05:14):
Will we ever see a Brian Thomas junior game? This
could be it. There's no Sauce Gardner, so there should
be no excuses. And also Brenton Strange Indianapolis very soft
against the tight end. Strange has been terrific since he's
been back from the IR I like him a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:05:30):
Cincinnati shocked the world and knocked off the Ravens last
Sunday on Thanksgiving. They're going to Buffalo this week. First
of all, where are we on T Higgins And how
do you like this matchup between these two teams?

Speaker 4 (02:05:41):
Yeah, last I saw T Higgins as expected to play
So that's a great thing. So you've got Cincinnati firing
on all its cylinders. Now the other thing is Buffalo
without two key defensive players, so they Terrelle Bernard, their
best linebacker is out and Joey Bosa is out. So
you're not going to get the pass rush, You're not

(02:06:02):
going to get some tackling. I think there's gonna be
a wide open game. So let's talk about the players.
You want. You want Josh Allen, you want James Cook,
you want Shakir I'm hoping that Dalton Kinkaid comes back.
If he comes back, he's a must play. Cincinnati is
the worst team in the league against opposing tight ends.
If not, I'd played Dawson Knocks, no problem. On the
other side, Burrow, great start, Chase Brown, great start, Higgins,

(02:06:27):
Chase load up this game. This game is in the fifties.
It's the highest scoring game on the slate. I think
it can end up in the sixties.

Speaker 2 (02:06:34):
Wow. All right.

Speaker 3 (02:06:35):
Jane Daniels sounds like he's back for the Commanders. We'll
make a difference for them at Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (02:06:40):
I think, look, it'll make a difference, and he's certainly back.
I think it helps Deebo Samuel, I think, I mean
zach Ertz, Kary McLaurin. This could be a wide open
game because you have two defenses that haven't been great.
So the question is everybody's done well against the Commanders defense.
Can j J. McCarthy, because if he can, then I mean,

(02:07:01):
isn't Justin Jefferson finally in play? We haven't seen Justin
Jefferson do anything in quite some time. I think another
guy is really sneaky is Jordan Mason If Aaron Jones
is out and he's not a sure thing. So I
love Justin Jefferson. I potentially love Jordan Mason. On the
other side, I'm with you on Daniels, I'm with you
on McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and zach Ertz. I'll stay away

(02:07:22):
from Chris Rodriguez.

Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
We as America except the win for the Windy City
Roto are waiting for the Chicago Bears burst, bubble to burst?

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
Is it happened in Green Bay this Sunday?

Speaker 4 (02:07:33):
Yeah? I think he bursts. I do so right now.
Kyle Manong guy is questionable. Roma don Za is questionable.
He's a little bit more doubtful than questionable, but so
a sneaky start is I like Luther Burton. I think
he's interesting in this one. I obviously like DeAndre Swift
on the other side. One of my locks for the week,

(02:07:53):
and I'm gonna give you it's on no locker other week,
but it's close. I think Josh Jacobs has a game.
I think he has a game. I think he scores.
I think Bay is a better team. Chicago has been.
Is extremely well coached and they're schemed up, but they're
not really that good. I don't know how they're doing it.
I really don't. So I like Jacobs this week. I
like Christian Watson, I like Romeo Dobbs, and like I said,

(02:08:17):
Burton might be a DFS flyer.

Speaker 3 (02:08:19):
This game between Philly and the Chargers on Monday night
is so intriguing. Chargers want to keep momentum and keep
this solidify their spot in the AFC Wild Card. Philadelphia
has been mid for about six or seven weeks. We
don't like West teams going east? How do we feel
about East teams going west? And can Jalen Hurts with
get that mojo back for that Eagles offense this Monday Night?

Speaker 4 (02:08:42):
I don't know this game feels messy to me because
you have two good defensive teams, you have good offensive players.
But look, Justin Herbert's not one hundred percent, that's for sure.
I expect Hampton to be back, and I expect him
to be integrated into that offense and running the football
with Batal. I like Labriconky a little bit, but I
lacked any of these receivers. Dad mcconkee, Keenan Allen, you

(02:09:05):
start them. But this is not one of those boom weeks,
right This is one of those games where it's like,
I don't know, twenty four to twenty one, twenty one,
twenty something, a little ugly like that. On the other side,
I don't know whether a J. Bwll makes a big play.
I do like Barkley a little bit. You always play
Jalen Hurts, but man, it's so hard to watch Jalen Hurts.

(02:09:25):
If they got rid of the push push, I mean,
this guy would be a below average quarterback right now.

Speaker 3 (02:09:32):
Seven one three two one two five seven. And if
you got a question for Rodos seven one three two
one two five seven, Aine will take those. In the
second segment, Houston Texans defense best defense they've had maybe
in the history of the franchise, second worst at the
second best of the very worst. They are playing hot,
they're beating up on good teams or second quarterbacks. Buffalo
Indianapoli's an impressive run as of late, but going to

(02:09:54):
Kansas City different animal, cool Weather Mahomes having a great season,
but he's got a decimated offensive line. I've set it
up for your rod o forgetting about the end result
in who you like or don't like it in terms
of winning the game, who are playing and who is
sitting between the Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (02:10:11):
Yeah, you don't want to start tection running backs. Okay,
if they're gonna win this game, I think it has
to be with c. J. Stroud, and then it has
to be with Nico Collins. Daland Schultz has been great
and by the way, Jayden Higgins is coming into his
own He's looked pretty darn good recently. So I think
all those guys are in play. You're not gonna start Woody.
You're certainly not going to start Nick Chubbs. Just don't

(02:10:33):
even think about those through that first a jumb But
if the Texans can just stop the Chiefs pass rush,
and give Stroud a little time. Stroud, Collins, Schultz, Higgins
are all potentially decent starts. On the other side, easy
Pasy Mahomes, Yes, Rice, Yes, Kelsey, Yes, forget Kareem Hunt,
forget Pacheco, for worthys May on the borderline if you

(02:10:56):
like to have one of those, you know, Sunday night
Monday games. I have no problems starting him, but I
think this is this game is all about defense. It's
all about tactical you know, maybe more punts than we're
used to. So sadly, this is not a boom fantasy game.
This is more like field position, field goal, you know,
fair band butcker guys like that, So be careful starting

(02:11:19):
too many guys in this game.

Speaker 3 (02:11:20):
So you think it's gonna a little scoring I think
all of America at this point think it's gonna a
little scoring game. All right, let's get to your questions
next seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven. Hoey, you
have a question for Roda. We are coming down the
last couple weeks of the regular season. I'd have Ross
ask he is an obligatory fantasy question in the week,
Doctor Roda, But he's in dead last place in our league,
and nobody really cares.

Speaker 2 (02:11:40):
About dead last.

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
I'm in the playoff hunting two other leagues. So shut
your my mess up. Okay, okay, get your question in
the scow right now.

Speaker 2 (02:11:46):
All right, good lunch timers, lunch timers, It's the Mad
Thomas Show with Ross on Sports Talk seven ninety. They

(02:12:08):
got a doctor with us to the bottom of the
hour on Sports Talk seven ninety. If you got a
question for doctor Rono seven one three two one two
five seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
That's seven to one three two one two five seven
nine zero. Let's start today with Josh for doctor Roto Josh,
you're on seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (02:12:25):
Good afternoon, and thank you for holding.

Speaker 13 (02:12:28):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (02:12:29):
Yeah, so quarterback, I got to pick up one.

Speaker 7 (02:12:31):
Jordan loves c j Stroud or Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (02:12:35):
Well, this is an easy Well, I'm Joe Burrow all
day every day. He looked at the highest scoring game
in the slate and Cincinnati when they get pushed like that,
when the other team scores, Zach Taylor calls more offense, Right,
So you gotta go with Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (02:12:49):
All right, Joe burn Is, Let's go to uh Josh
in Cyprus on seven. Andy, go ahead, Josh, Hey.

Speaker 5 (02:12:56):
Guys, I got two of them real quick. I need
a wide receiver and a flex. I got Michael Wilson, Deebo,
Samuel Willie, Woody Marx or Terry McLaurin. And then the
other one is a quarterback. I got everyone injured or heard.
So it's Aaron Rodgers, Tyrod Taylor to.

Speaker 3 (02:13:18):
Whoever's on the bench, I'd go with a I'd skip
the weekend a quarterback spot. If you're thinking about Tyrod
Taylor mine, God.

Speaker 4 (02:13:26):
Yeah, you know, don't laugh. Here's a guy that nobody
wants to pick up. But maybe Tyler shuck against for
New Orleans against Tampa. You can kind of throw a
little bit against Tampa. It's not like the greatest start ever,
but it's not like you name me guys out there
that I really liked. I hate all those guys. I
do like Michael Wilson. They ruled Marvin Harrison Junior out
and PMC looked good by the way. I kind of

(02:13:49):
like JJ McCarthy too. I know that he's been awful.
But if you can't throw against the Commanders, maybe you
need another profession. So I think if you're desperate for
a quarterback. Look at McCarthy, look at Shuck. Let's are TMC.
I'm Michael Wilson, all.

Speaker 3 (02:14:02):
Right, since you asked, I'm desperate. I I had a
choice of I had I picked up two at Tagavoloa.
Should I go with Taga Vloa or shucked this week?
Oh man in the background, Yeah, shut up, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (02:14:16):
No, you know what, I would go with Tua. Miami's
gonna win that game, right, so that we feel confident
that Miami is gonna win that team It may not
be a pretty game, but you've got to think they're
gonna score three touchdowns a chance should get one. So
I'm hoping that Tua gets two. Maybe down Waller gets
a couple of touchdowns that work.

Speaker 3 (02:14:33):
By the way, you are so influential in NFL circles.
We need to have the elimination of the the off
weeks in December. This is atrocious. This is we gotta
get all this done by like week nine, tops.

Speaker 4 (02:14:45):
That's my business.

Speaker 2 (02:14:46):
Sty Oh sorry about that. I know what I do.

Speaker 3 (02:14:48):
Have a question now, obligatory ross in last place question.
I'm not a last place I'm uh, well, seven and
six in this league. Need to win, must win week,
baby Pat Mahomes or Jaden Daniels is on the waiver wire.

Speaker 4 (02:15:04):
Oh that's an interesting one. Do you really think that
Mahomes booms because I don't know. I'm thinking like a
good week for him is two fifty and two, right,
And that's like an upside because this Texan defense playing great,
where Daniels could run one in Minnesota can be beaten
with the pass, especially now with mclaurin's back. I think

(02:15:25):
I would go with Daniels here. I think that game
has a chance to be more high, to be higher scoring.

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
Are people sitting justin Jefferson on my mind, just high
in the night here because he was so grumpy last week?

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:15:35):
So here's what happens. It's like that whole thing with
the Rams in Carolina. Nobody wanted to play Carolina because
you saw them two weeks ago on how disgusting they were.
The Rams are the greatest team ever and they laid
an egg. So this week, nobody wants to play Jefferson.
That's why you need to play Jefferson. Remember, Washington's defense
has been terrible, so McCarthy to Jefferson could be that

(02:15:57):
the stack you didn't know that you needed it. On
DraftKings or Fan Duel if you want to win.

Speaker 3 (02:16:03):
Money seven one three, two one two five, seven ninety
Chad for Dr Rodo, Go ahead, Chad.

Speaker 4 (02:16:09):
Hey, roto RJ Harvey or Marion Hampton. Yeah, I really
love r J. Harvey. I'm sorry that he got the
job this way, that JK. Dobbins got hurt. But this
guy's explosive. He can catch out of the backfield. If
he can get around the corner on Max Crosby, I
mean he can. Guy could score a touchdown on virtually

(02:16:30):
every play. I don't dislike hampton tough defense, and I
think that Jim Harbaugh is going to phase him in
meeting maybe twelve fifteen touches. He's not getting twenty five
touches this week, So I think I'm going r J.

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):
Harvey, John for Roto on seven ninety go ahead, John.

Speaker 4 (02:16:46):
Hey, Derek Roda, how's it going?

Speaker 9 (02:16:49):
I have two questions, Do I start Deebo Orwano?

Speaker 12 (02:16:55):
And my other question is if Dar Jacobs does play,
I'll start Jacobs.

Speaker 9 (02:17:00):
Are doesn't have anything?

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (02:17:03):
Oh wow? I mean, look like I said before, Josh
Jacobs is going to play and I think Josh jak
is going to score. Could this be a good Jefferson week? Yes,
but I'm not going to say Josh Jacobs. What I
feel is like a lock for eighty yards and a touchdown,
So listen. I normally like Waddle, I don't love him
this week. I love a Chan and I like Darren Waller.
I think those are the two Miami Dolphins that I

(02:17:24):
like more than Waddle. So I'll go with Deebo. You know, look,
Jaydon Daniels, how's a report with Deebo? It throws that
quick little out. Deebo could take advantage of that Viking's secondary.
That's a little overly aggressive. I mean maybe good things
can happen all right.

Speaker 3 (02:17:37):
On the email, Andrews or from Baltimore. Johnson in New
Orleans needs one tight end to play, says Sean.

Speaker 4 (02:17:44):
I mean, look, I think you're playing Mark Andrews. It's
not that I don't like Juwan Johnson. It's just hard
to get behind your saying here. I like Chris Alave,
He's my favorite saint. But Mark Andrews just signed a
big contract. If Lamar has the week that I think
Lamar is going to have, Andrews probably find the Enzo
all right.

Speaker 3 (02:18:00):
Who sits Trey Tucker, Alec Pearce or T Higgins? Which
does the three sit from Cody?

Speaker 4 (02:18:07):
I mean Terrey Tucker's does not have a great matchup
this weeks against Denver. That could be a little ugly,
so I'm probably sitting him.

Speaker 3 (02:18:13):
All right, Tyler Shucker, JJ McCarthy again, Cody, I would
leave that blank.

Speaker 4 (02:18:18):
Yeah, I'll go JJ McCarthy. Let's find some love for JJ,
because if you can't get it done this week, they
need to figure out options.

Speaker 3 (02:18:25):
All right, who do you trust, Lamar Herbert or Daniels?
And by the way, how nervous are we about this
Herbert injury?

Speaker 4 (02:18:32):
I think we have to it's pause, you know, cause
the pause right especially you're playing the Eagles, So I
mean don't love it. So it goes back to that
Mahomes and Daniels thing. Normally we love Mahomes, but we
don't love this matchup. Right, This is not a thirty
point game for the Chiefs. I think the team that
has a better chance of scoring three or four touchdowns
might actually be Washington.

Speaker 2 (02:18:53):
So I think it's Daniels, all right, Kelsey Goddard or Kincaid.

Speaker 4 (02:18:59):
Oh, Dalton kin Ka plays you play him. I mean,
Cincinnati's epically bad against opposing tight ends. They've let up
more touched, double the amount of touchdowns, and then the
other teams let up against the posing tight ends. I
mean that is a crazy statistic.

Speaker 3 (02:19:13):
All right, we go to Jeremy and Montgomery before we
get to the lock of the week. Jeremy or in
seven ninety with doctor Rodo.

Speaker 9 (02:19:19):
Yes, I need three out of four.

Speaker 12 (02:19:23):
DeVonta Smith, Shakir McLaurin or Christian Watson.

Speaker 2 (02:19:27):
Which three.

Speaker 4 (02:19:30):
I think we're gonna go Shakir and McLaurin for sure.
So now comes down to Watson and DeVonta. I don't
love DeVonta start this week, but I think he's I
like having that guy on the Monday night game, right,
Sometimes there's just something about that I don't I mean,
Christian Watson is an okay play. Here's what we'll do

(02:19:51):
if Jaydeen Reid is out. I'm fine playing Watson because
Chicago lets up big plays. But if Jane Reid is activated,
I want no part of it. It becomes very in
Green Bay and I'll pass.

Speaker 3 (02:20:02):
Ladies generally asked doctor Rono once a week to give
us the player who's going to be dynamic, amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
The must play. We present to you Doctor Rodo's Lock
of the Week MT.

Speaker 4 (02:20:14):
There are guys who are chasing records, and you know
who's chasing a record, Jackson Smith the jetBook JSN is
chasing a record. I think he's got a great chance.
He was a disaster last week. I think he comes
back this week. Sam Darnold to JSM, I really love it.
I think he goes eight for one fifteen a touchdown, eight.

Speaker 2 (02:20:31):
For one fifty. JSN is Doctor Rodo's lock of the Week. Roto,
Where do we find you between now and Sunday.

Speaker 4 (02:20:41):

them to or no?

No?

Speaker 2 (02:21:47):
I mean I don't know. It doesn't really matter what
we get here. I mean we're gonna have a full stadium. Correct,
it'd be nice to have one in Houston. What do

three matchups in the group. I'm just looking with sports
are Yeah you l A c l l A three.

Speaker 5 (02:22:10):

That'd be a European club. They're having playoffs basically, one
last thing. I gotta give a shout out, like, so
whoever wins the playing game kind of it's like a
European playing type thing.

Speaker 2 (02:22:22):

old bit and it's still as good as it was

(02:23:21):

interesting stories that cure outside the state of Florida. Are

(02:24:00):
them with the people of Huston.

Speaker 8 (02:24:05):
It's time for no Florida.

Speaker 4 (02:24:13):
I's time for no Florida.

Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
Stole from coast to coast will bring the.

Speaker 4 (02:24:26):
Strange and wild.

Speaker 6 (02:24:31):
No alligator tales, but something that will make you smile.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
It's time for last from.

Speaker 10 (02:24:41):
Far and wild.

Speaker 2 (02:24:45):
In this crazy world.

Speaker 4 (02:24:48):
There's nowhere.

Speaker 2 (02:24:53):
November twenty fourth, Cold Birtles, thirty three years of old,
was in a convenience store in front of it in
Saint Charles, Missouri, and he kicked the front glass door
of the convenie store down. He climbed into the locked
business guys, and he proceeded to eat a bag of
beef jerky and drink a sweet tea that he did

(02:25:13):
not pay for. Well quoted by Bertles to local police
in Saint Charles, Missouri, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy,
but there's an AI intelligence speaker in my neck. What

(02:25:33):
When Cobs arrived at the rokel Ray Stoor Birtles was
detained and asked about Brickle Ray.

Speaker 3 (02:25:40):
Yeah, it'll spend money, Burtles was He was detained and
asked about the break in. Burtles repeatedly confessed the voices
in my head told me to kick it open since
it was locked, and that he quote just.

Speaker 2 (02:25:54):
Wanted to use the bathroom. Good gosh. He is unclear
what role the purple an implant played in the alleged burglary.
Burtles loves about forty minutes away from the forty miles
away from the Missouri store. He added that he walked
to the Circle K from Illinois. You ever walked forty
miles ago to a convenience store? I don't know what
the longest I've ever walked. It's probably like ten to

(02:26:16):
twelve miles on a hike. But that was over several hours,
and you meant to do it.

Speaker 10 (02:26:20):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:26:20):
Burtles was arrested for burglary a felony, a property damage,
a second degree misdemeanor. He was also charged with stealing
property value at less than one hundred and fifty dollars
locked up in a little of two thousand, five hundred
dollars in cash. Burtles has been ordered to have no
contact with Urkal Ray and submit to a mental health
examination if he bonds out of custody until his parole.
Earlier this year, Burtles was locked up in the Illinois

(02:26:42):
State Prison for aggravated robbery, in which he was sentenced
to nine years. His rap sheet also includes multiple felony
burglary convictions. Do you have an AI device stuck in
your next sports RV?

Speaker 2 (02:26:52):
Not that I know of.

Speaker 3 (02:26:54):
Sounds like that person needs a lot of help, and
that is my non Florida story. But AI having set
something in your neck to make you want to go
to convenience store forty minutes away, forty miles away and
steal beef jerky if you're a stolen beef jerky before.

Speaker 2 (02:27:07):
No, I did steal things from convenience stores when I
was a teenager.

Speaker 3 (02:27:10):
Well, I stole quarters from my mom, So it's worth
It's fine. We're all not proud of it, I know,
but you at least you fast up and for that
we appreciate you. I'm sad uh Jonathan. What is your
non Flora story this week?

Speaker 2 (02:27:23):
All right?

Speaker 6 (02:27:23):
So this one was given to me by a fellow
collar this morning at ten o'clock.

Speaker 2 (02:27:28):
Are you just getting held down too. I'm getting held Wow,
that's good. Get on it. So mine's from New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (02:27:34):
Police in New Zealand have charged the man with death
after he allegedly stole a jewel encrusted gold fabrijagg egg
locket from a jewelers by picking it up and swallowing it.
The unusual incident occurred on a Friday afternoon at a
store in Central Auckland, according to a statement from Inspector
Gray Anderson, Auckland Central Area Commander, store staff concents police
around three thirty pm local time, and officers responded minutes later,

(02:27:57):
arresting the man inside the store. The thirty two year
old man has been hard with death and reprimanded the
custody prior to a scheduled core appearance on December eighth.
Given this man's man is in polit custody, we have
a duty of care to continue moditoring him and given
the circumstances of what has occurred the stolen items of
fiber Jacks James Bond Octo.

Speaker 2 (02:28:20):
Octo Anyway, I think I know the back half of
that word. It's a movie title, all right, yes, okay, okay, yeah,
don't say it. Okay, yeah, okay, man, it's a movie title.
I mean, go ahead say it. Then here you go.
As are very expensive, by the way, are they not.

Speaker 6 (02:28:38):
Yes, the luckey was worth thirty three thousand News Zealand dollars,
so nineteen thousand USD.

Speaker 2 (02:28:45):
According to court documents. Listener here and then there's one
way to get it out, correct. Yes, that's what they're
keeping it. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:28:53):
Yeah, it was eighteen carried yellow gold and green cool.
I'm not gonna read this, but yeah, fifteen blue blue
sapphires when there sixty white diamonds.

Speaker 2 (02:29:02):
If you pulled this off, he would have been rached.
So if you steal it, I wouldn't think you consuming
it would be the best plan of action unless you
were gonna go home.

Speaker 6 (02:29:11):
And well, it's saying one of them sold on Tuesday
for twenty two point nine million pounds because it was
an original Russian to see Alexander the Third and Nicholas
a second.

Speaker 2 (02:29:25):
But if it goes to your digestive system, doesn't lose value.
I mean, if let's he posted up when he comes
on back end, I mean, oh my god. People do
that all the time, with like stealing jewelry and stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:29:35):
Like this.

Speaker 3 (02:29:36):
Do you mean so you steal jewels, you swallow them
and then you get them out. Okay, if that's how
you do it, I would put it into a jacket.
I would try to maybe put it in a pants pocket.
I don't think I would want to have to ingest
it in order to.

Speaker 2 (02:29:53):
Get away with it. This is crazy and it's kind
of big too. Huh.

Speaker 3 (02:30:00):
So you're saying the guy and Jess did a big
thing and that is Jonathan's non Florida store.

Speaker 2 (02:30:07):
Yes it is.

Speaker 3 (02:30:09):
Did you ever see a movie Octopussy? I don't think
I did. The midst I didn't see a lot of
the seventies eighties James. I saw quite a few of them.
Maud Adams was the woman in that Mad Adams? I
mean ud A Maud? Okay, thank You's okay?

Speaker 4 (02:30:23):
Sure? Why not?

Speaker 2 (02:30:25):
Generally bond girls very hot, generally speaking, they are, okay.
Was mister Tomay ever a bond girl? Missa Tomay? I
don't think so? Could be believe you will never know? Yeah, well,
I guess you could very easily google it. All right,
I guess it's my turn.

Speaker 4 (02:30:41):
Let me take you to.

Speaker 2 (02:30:44):
Ashland, Virginia, where there was a burglar breaking into a
Virginia liquor store early on a Saturday last week.

Speaker 3 (02:30:57):
Scotch and whiskey were dan by this burglar. Bottles were smashed,
the ceiling was destroyed as well. Alcohol was pulled over
the floor, and the burglar was found passed out drunk
in the liquor store bathroom.

Speaker 2 (02:31:17):
Oh, this is gonna end. This burglar was a raccoon. Yeah,
I knew it.

Speaker 10 (02:31:21):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (02:31:23):
What was the name the rocky raccoon? It did not
have a name.

Speaker 3 (02:31:28):
An employee at the Ashland, Virginia liquor store found the
trash panda as they are called, of course, passed out
on the bathroom floor at the end of his drunken escapade.
Samantha Martin, works at the local animal control in Ashland.
Viner said, I personally like raccoons. He fell through one
of the ceiling tiles and went on a full blown rampage,

(02:31:48):
drinking everything. The raccoon was taken back to an animal shelter,
of course, as everyone had their laughs along the way.
After a few hours of sleep and zero signs of injury,
the raccoon was safely released back into the wild and sober.

Speaker 2 (02:32:08):
We think so.

Speaker 11 (02:32:09):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:32:09):
He might have the itch.

Speaker 3 (02:32:11):
He's gonna break back in just just wondering. Raccoon says,
take off. Yeah, and that had a rough day. Was
on an Flora storing for this week.

Speaker 2 (02:32:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:32:22):
Real quick, let's go to our friend Mark Online two
wants to have a deep conversation with the Longhorned Ross.

Speaker 2 (02:32:27):
Hello, Mark, Mark, Mark, Mark, you guys, you know what
this is? The anti Longhorn agenda? Oh you know it's
an online b You guys have a line. B Oh
what are you doing over here? Matt? I didn't do anything?
Is Mark on there?

Speaker 12 (02:32:46):
He is?

Speaker 2 (02:32:46):
Oh look at you guys. They're trying to shut down
the Longhorns.

Speaker 11 (02:32:49):
Mark.

Speaker 9 (02:32:51):
Well, first of all, congrats on the greatest prediction you've
ever made.

Speaker 2 (02:32:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (02:32:57):
Then we're going to win.

Speaker 12 (02:32:59):
They did.

Speaker 9 (02:33:00):
You said they were going to cause.

Speaker 2 (02:33:01):
A lot of pain.

Speaker 13 (02:33:03):
They did. I've got I've got Aggie friends that I
guess have been muted or blocked on Facebook. Now, oh
my god, the amount of pain that the Longhorns costs.
Who cares about the college football playoffs?

Speaker 2 (02:33:20):
I mean, if we sneak in, we sneak in.

Speaker 9 (02:33:22):
They lost to Florida. Everybody gets that. That's a Longhorn fan.
But to beat them and run that perfect season, that
was epic. That's the kind of pain that Longhorned fans
want to see Aggie's have. So it was one of
the best sports moments of my life. I've seen the

(02:33:43):
I've seen Marl Campbell, I've seen Nolan Ryan, I've seen
the Rockets win two championships up there. Yeah, I've seen
that too. I'm pretty old.

Speaker 4 (02:33:54):
So anyway, I just.

Speaker 2 (02:33:59):
Upset. I'm just kidding, Mark, I'm just teasing. Hey, thank
you for the man.

Speaker 9 (02:34:04):
I will tell you this. Yes, uh, you're not up
there with the best of the Rockets analogras, but I
do enjoy listening to you on the radio.

Speaker 2 (02:34:12):
Wait, man, I'm not among the best. What you said?
He said?

Speaker 4 (02:34:14):
Now?

Speaker 9 (02:34:14):
Now, okay, you're among the best.

Speaker 3 (02:34:17):
Oh mon okay, I got you, thank you. I got
you my top five man. I'll take that, thank you
