(00:00):
The work day is done. Nowkick back, pop a top and catch
up with your Houston team. Rightcap Ray Cap. This is the Nightcap
with Ross Viial Rank Cap k capTu six oh two pm here on Sports

(00:30):
Talk seven ninety. Hello and welcomeinto a Monday edition of the Nightcap program
with you until seven o clock,Ross Viial with Trey Campbell. Try.
I thought we did all our farewellson Saturday when I came back for a
one off edition of the Sports RVShow thanks to our good friends at the

(00:51):
Onion Creek Cafe and their Age TownChili throwdown. Yeah, we got one
more in us. Okay, good, he said, got one more?
You know what, The show goeson, one more. Trey has put
in his two weeks notice he isgoing to pursue his comedy dreams in beautiful,
lovely Austin, Texas, and well, quite frankly, is he spreading

(01:14):
his wings. He's grown too bigfor us, he says, We're we
can't cage him in any longer,and he is going out to forge his
own path in Austin, Texas.I liked working with you and Matt russ
Oh. I appreciate that, Trey. I enjoyed working with you, so
we argue it's a Trey Campbell farewelledition of the program. If you'd like

(01:36):
to recall your favorite either on airor off air Trey Campbell moments, you
can do that at seven one threetwo one two five seven ninety. You
can also do that at Sports RV. And also Trey's yet to be banned,
but feels like it could happen atany moment because that's how it goes
for him on Twitter Twitter account.I believe it's at sports r M seven

(02:00):
for nine, which is quite complicated, So you can also just send it
to me at sports RV if youlike, or like I said on the
phone line seven to one to three, two one two five seven ninety,
he is gonna bring us some ofthe top sports news items of the day
in a segment we called Headlines that'scoming up at seven thirty. We also
have anything that you want to getinto as far as the sports world.

(02:23):
Let's see the Houston Rockets beat overthe weekend the Phoenix Suns for the second
time in a week, winning twoout of three. Jalen Green signs of
life. Is he going to beokay? Maybe? But we feel like
we've seen this before and then theregression happens. But we shall see on
that front. The Houston Texans gettingsome free agency news that not necessarily about

(02:47):
the Houston Texans, but does impactthe Houston Texans. First and foremost.
Mike Evans, one of the possibletargets for the Texans, reached a two
year, fifty two million dollar contractextension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so
he is not going to be inthe fold for the Houston Texans. You
also have Lagerius Snead getting the nonexclusive franchise tagged by the Chiefs, probably

(03:14):
someone that you know, the Texansweren't hugely in the mix for, but
a possible target as far as oneof the top free agents on the market,
and the Texans he can always usesome cornerback help if they weren't going
to go with Steven Nelson, ifthey're going to draft a guy. We
shall see on that front, thensome news. It doesn't impact the Houston
Texans at all. The Broncos arecutting Russell Wilson and taking on in eighty

(03:38):
five million dollars in total dead moneycap hit. I think it's like thirty
this year and fifty million dollars asfar as a cap hit, dead cap,
not on the roster. They gaveup two first rounders, two second
rounders, a fifth and whatever elseand like Noah Drew Locke and somebody else,

(03:59):
like they gave up all these playersand picks, and then two years
later, see you later Russell Wilsonfor the Denver Broncos and then the Astros.
Of course, we can continue totalk about as we just get ramped
up for spring training, getting rampedup closer to the regular season opening day
coming up in March twenty eighth.We are now three weeks and two days

(04:21):
away from opening day and off dayin spring training for the Astros. But
some news coming out of West Palm, mostly that Justin Verlander sounding like he's
getting a little bit closer to beingat least close to ready for the season
as he cleared a significant hurdle.This is actually Sunday morning in West Palm,

(04:46):
throwing sixty pitches in the bullpen underthe watchful eyes of general manager Dana
Brown and manager Joe Aspotted. Thisaccording to Brian McTaggart of Astros dot com.
So it sounds good. Justin Verlanderapparently up positive, liking the way
that he feels, and if he'sthrown off of a mound and throwing sixty
pitches, that means we're getting closerand closer to him being readily available for

(05:10):
the start of the season. Willhe start the season on the injured list?
I don't know. I guess ifit I have to just put a
guess out there, it'd be fromRivaldez getting the game number one start against
Garrett Cole the New York Yankees.That should be a good matchup there at
minne A Park for opening Day.But justin Verlander, I think sounds like
he's round in the corner. Imean, if you're throwing sixty off the

(05:30):
mound, then sounds like you're nottoo far away from being ready for the
season, especially considering, like Isaid, we got three weeks in change
left to go for the Houston Astrosas they continue to get ready for the
season. Seven one three two onetwo five seven ninety is the phone number.
Let's see tweet coming in from teacheron break. Y'all got to play

(05:51):
tray the sound bed that you playfor Astros players that leave the Astros.
Oh, okay, are we gonnahave to go. It's so hard hard
to say goodbye Boys to Men withyou, Trey. No, I don't
think so. I don't think whynot. I mean, I don't think
it's that big of a da goodbye. Maybe the last segment. We

(06:15):
save it for the last segment.Where are you singing that in the and
like as Eddie Vedder? I don'tknow, like the nineties, Uh you
didn't know you didn't hear the mismatthe mashup? They did? I never
heard it. Yeah, I thinkit was Eddie Vedder went on tour with
Boys to Men right nineteen ninety seven. Forgot about that. Yeah, I
don't know how you forgot about it, but that's just I mean, it

(06:36):
slipped your mind. That's okay.Uh No, we can play later on
for Trey. It's so hard tosay goodbye because it is hard to say
goodbye Tray. We'll have all ofour great Tray member. You know what,
Let's go ahead and do this becauseit's in Anything Goes Monday here on
the it's not the Sports r Vshow. What is this the nightcap with

(06:56):
Tray Campbell? You know what?Rick and Downtown is called in He wants
to get in his favorite memory ofTrey Campbell, Rick, go ahead.
We don't normally take calls in thefirst segment, but we're making a special
exception for you today. Sorry.My favorite thing that Trevor said was that
NASCAR was looking into having a raceon the Moon. I don't know if
you'll remember that. Yes, ofcourse I remember that, Rick, Thank
you. I think so they're arace on them. Okay. They have

(07:20):
cars that they're going to control frommission control and on the third turn Kyle
Busch has crash and he's now intoorbit. It's gonna happen. Okay,
all right, thanks a lot,Rick, appreciate you getting in. Yeah,
that was I mean, I guessspoiler alert. That's certainly one of

(07:40):
my favorite Trey Campbell memories on airis when we did Gut Feelings and he
said he had a gut feeling thatthere was gonna be a NASCAR race on
the Moon, which I just I'dlook, I'm not a physicist, but
just judging from the logistics of Idon't know, getting entire crews and teams
and cars and drivers up on theMoon and then also building a track,

(08:01):
and I think they have what wasit one eighth of the gravity. What
is it? Something like that Ithink they have up there on the Moon.
I think that there is no gravity. Okay, No, there's some
gravity because you jump and you don'tjust fall off, so I mean you
keep going. But that's all right. That definitely is on the short list
of the all time favorite Trey Campbellmemories and we can you know what,

(08:24):
you can send more of them toat sports RV. You can also call
in with them at seven one threetwo one two five seven ninety. So,
yes, we are going to talksome astros. We are going to
talk some Houston Texans and free agencyrocket stuff you want to get into.
There's some college sports news to getto as well as things on the NIL
front continue to get interesting with collegesports. Uh, let's see what else.

(08:48):
Scott Boris is possibly lying talking aboutinterest getting drummed up for Blake Snell
and Jordan Montgomery as he continues tocomplain about teams not spending in this free
agency ecosystem that he helped create.He's gonna rail against it. So a
lot of different things we are goingto get to. Trey is going to
bring us some headlines as well,and we are going to talk about your

(09:11):
astros and all those other things.Fun lines open for you at seven one
three two one two five seven ninetyif you would like to get in seven
one three two one two five sevenninety. Tray also going to bring us
some headlines, like I said,and we'll have our favorite Trey memory.
So it's really at the end ofthe day, it's the tribute to Trey
Campbell here on Sports Talk seven ninetywith you until seven o'clock. It is

(09:35):
the Nightcap where we'll be back afterthis short break hit Rig and Rincon show
in the last welcome back to thenight Cap program here on Sports Talk seven

(10:01):
ninety ros Viria with you Trey Campbellalong as well as we say farewell to
a Sports Talk seven ninety legend.He's moving on to bigger and better things
in Austin, Texas. But wedo appreciate the time that you did make
for us, Trey. If youwant to get in with a memory about
him. I think I figured theNASCAR on the Moon thing would be the

(10:22):
go to, and we already gotthat right out of the gate. All
right, seven one three two onetwo five seven ninety. The phone number
if you would like to get inseven one three, two, one two
five, seven ninety mention you canget in your tweets at sports RV and
also at sports r M seven fortynine. I believe yeah as the correct

(10:46):
address as if you would like tofind Trey Campbell there. He's gonna bring
us some headlines as we go along. Mentioned in the last segment, we're
talking a lot of Houston sports,different things to get to even mentioning the
I mean Russell Wilson and what theDenver Broncos did there. It's a wonder
to me that the general manager ofthe the Broncos, George Paton or Peyton

(11:15):
at whatever, Sean Payton, theyall still gonna have their job. He's
still going to have his job afterthat. And that was a deal.
I mean, two first round picks, two second round picks, a two
hundred and fifty million dollar contract thatyou cut after two years, and now
you have eighty five million dollars indead cap money for Russell Wilson. That's

(11:37):
insane. What did the whole sale? What does the the salary cap number
go up to? It's like unprecedentedthirty million jump in the NFL. It's
like what two hundred and fifty ishmillion or whatever it is. Okay,
two hundred and fifty five point fourmillion, and they've got eighty five million
dollars in dead cap the next twoyears because they try to go with Russell

(12:00):
Wilson, who makes me feel betterabout what we got here in Houston.
And that's what we need to embraceand that's what we need to recognize.
Okay, Yeah, you're not reigningWorld Series champions like the Kansas City Chiefs
are right now, but it's somethingthat you've been searching for for years and
years and years. In Houston,you finally got it, or at least

(12:22):
thought you did, with the ShawnWatson in a franchise quarterback and somebody that
you can build around. And thensome unpleasantness happened. Twenty five plus cases
in massuses and payoffs and Tony Buzzby, Like, remember when the most thing
we talked about in Texans the newscycles was the new case filed by Tony

(12:43):
Busby. It felt like it washappening, and they were popping up all
over the place and multiplying. It'slike hearing about the new Okay, we
got one case of the coronavirus.Okay, we got two Okay, now
we got one hundred and seven.That's basically what it felt like with Deshaun
Watson lawsuits. Are we got two? Okay, we're up to eleven.
Oh my god, we're up totwenty five. And then that became the

(13:05):
story. And then now in numberseven, we trust CJ. Stroud is
here. We're in a really goodspot now. Of course, a lot
of AFC teams are in a reallygood spot. And that's where, you
know, we start to looking compareacross the league about what the Houston Texans
have and can or cannot do withtheir draft capital and with their free agency

(13:30):
money that they have, and you'retrying to get to the level of,
well, well, where the BaltimoreRavens were when they just completely destroyed you
twice this year, and it waspretty abundantly clear that you're not quite ready
to be to be a contender forthe Super Bowl title and the Kansas City

(13:50):
Chiefs, I don't know if youeven put the Texans at least where the
Buffalo Bills were probably not. Thenthat's where I'm kind of wonder where this
whole offseason goes, because you haveall these free agents Texans have, they
have all this cap space right sixtyseven sixty eight million dollars, and then
the question is they were The thinkingis now is the time to strike while

(14:13):
the iron is hot. Now isthe time where you build up the team.
You go out there, you dareto be great. You make some
splashes in free agency, maybe youoverpay for a couple of guys, and
because you have the most valuable thingin football, you have a franchise quarterback
on a rookie deal. But thenyou just look at all the free agents

(14:33):
that the Texans have of their ownthat they just have to keep, and
you're saying, where is going tocome that room for improvement? If you
run it back with the guys thatyou got, you're somewhat going to be
in a similar boat. Now.You can hit on draft picks, but
a lot of times you're not goingto have super mega impact rookies, certainly

(14:56):
not when you're drafting at number twentythree rather than where you were drafting last
year, number two overall CJ.Stroud, number three overall Will Anderson Junior.
Those are definitely, of course,big impact rookies, because there were
rookies of the year, but it'syou're in a different spot now. You're
in a different place now and theteam needs to get better. But if

(15:18):
you take care of Dalton Schultz andthen you take care of Jonathan Gernard and
Sheldon Rankins and Stephen Nelson and BlakeCashman, then it's basically a run back
and you can get the team anotheryear to grow and gel and get better.
So it's not a guarantee that they'regoing to be any worse. But
also listen to the words of NickCasario that he was saying at the combine.

(15:39):
He was kind of trying to temperexpectations. It sounded like when he
said, Hey, I want toremind you guys, just don't forget we
had really good luck in one scoregames that can turn year to year.
We also have the first place schedule. It's going to be a lot more
difficult. Every first place AFC teamyou can think of is going to be

(16:00):
on the schedule. For the HoustonTexans, you will be taking off on
the Chiefs, Ravens and Bills,and it's gonna be more tough sledding than
maybe it was this year. Butthat's also a challenge you need to be
up to, right. I mean, when you're one of the per perennial
greats. When you're winning your divisionyear after year after year, you're gonna

(16:25):
have those marquee matchups on your scheduleyear after year after year. Comes with
the territory. That's why it kindof didn't matter what the what the schedule
rotation was. Right back when PeytonManning and Tom Brady were in their prime,
they're each winning their division every year, so they each played every year
because of the first play schedules nomatter what the rotation was as far as
divisionally. So that's what's gonna happen. If you want to get up into

(16:47):
that level, you're gonna have totake on the tougher teams. You're gonna
have to take on the tougher schedule. But then the question is where where's
the growth gonna come from? Where'sthe improvement of the roster gonna come from?
When you do have this significant amountof cap space, but then you
have effectively like thirty free agents onyour team and you want to retain a

(17:08):
good bit of it while also gettingbetter. That's where Nick Cassario is gonna
have to get creative and you're gonnahave to make some tough decisions. You're
gonna have to decide, you know, is it much more easy to franchise
Dalton Schultz at eleven million dollars andgo with that? And then do that

(17:29):
maybe in lieu of paying Jonathan Garnardtwenty plus million dollars or paying one of
the big defensive interior alignment that aregoing to get be available in this offseason
and pay those guys the money,cause you also have to take care of
your own And do you decide thisyear to re sign Nico Collins and give
him that extension and use some ofthe cap space with that, and also

(17:53):
you're gonna have some of that nextyear as well. There are some difficult
decisions to make this offseason, anda lot of it, I mean hinges
around bringing back your own players whereyou had a good season, but it's
not like they were all world It'snot like they were one miss field goal
or mistackle or something away from theSuper Bowl. You played the Baltimore Ravens
in the Divisional round and you gotslapped. Now, if you play them

(18:18):
ten times, do you lose everygame by twenty four? Probably not,
But do you win over five ofthem? Definitely not. So you need
to improve, you need to getback into that level. You need to
get to tier one. You alsowant to keep your guys and retain your
guys, and you also want toget a little bit better. So that
to me the challenge faced by NickCassario on this offseason, because it is

(18:41):
going to get more difficult. TheTexans aren't going to be taking anybody,
so by surprise, they're gonna bean all likelihood on more national television games,
and the schedule is going to bemuch more difficult, and nobody's going
to be taking you lightly because theyknow what CJ. Stroud and this Texans
off no matter who the running backis. By the way, didn't even

(19:02):
mention that you're resigning Devin Singletary.If you're going for one of the big
names as far as the running backs, that's gonna I mean, sixty five
million dollars sounds like a lot,but that can dry up in a hurry.
I mean to be sure, whenyou just have talking about franchising Grenard
costing you twenty million as well,and the what is the name of that

(19:26):
Dolphins defensive tackle that people were talkingabout as far as a free agent,
Christian Wilson Wilkins, Yes, you'retalking about him. Possibly he's not getting
franchise tag. That dude is goingto come in like twenty plus million dollars
a year apparently. So it's it'sgoing to be interesting to see the way
things pan out, because it doesfeel like you would like a couple of

(19:49):
splashes in free agency, but withso many roster spots to continue to fill
and figure me out. Do youwant to play pay Blake Cashing? Do
you want to keep Grenard? Doyou want to keep this player X y
Z and some of them all verygood, not first team All Pro guys.
No, Sheldon Rankins, you'd liketo have him back, but he's

(20:10):
not thought of as one of thebest interior defensive line in the entire world.
He's not thought of as like aChristian Wilkins. But what's he gonna
cost you? How much of thatis he gonna eat up? Well,
no pun intended. There, Weshall see all right. Time for a
quick bottom of the hour break hereon Sports Talk seven to ninety. It
is the nightcap with Ross v Real. That's me. Trey Campbell is here

we'll just we'll just leave it atthat, all right, what else you
got, Trey. So, RussellWestbrook has had to have surgery on his

(31:00):
broken hand. Oh no, forquite some time. That's a big blow
to the Clippers bench. You gottathink, is this his shooting hand or
his non shooting hand. I thinkthis is his. Let's see surgery on
because I'm hoping that maybe for RussellWestbrook's sake, this could be like a
Rookie of the Year situation. Nonshooting hand. Oh damn, Well,

(31:23):
if it was his shooting hand,maybe he would break, he would get
it broken, set in a castand then much like Henry Rowan Gardner and
Rookie of the Year, he wouldall of a sudden great create these great
natural superpowers and then maybe Russell Westbrookcould finally knock down a jump shot for
real. Man, what a whata fall it's been for a former MVP

(31:44):
and Rockets Rocket Rockets legend, RussellWestbrook. Yeah, he's only averaging eleven
points per game. This makes mesad. He's uh it seems like he's
still going. Do you think he'sa Hall of Famer. I think yeah,
he's gonna be in the Hall ofFame. I mean's didn't like he
have three seasons where he averaged atriple double three or four. Correct,
that's pretty good. I think it'sHall of Fame worthy if you ask me,

(32:08):
Yeah, why not. Let's seethree straights, four seasons. Oh
my god, he averaged a wholelast triple double every game for four different
seasons. Yeah, he's going tothe Hall of Fame. Could never shoot.
Actually, I thought his numbers werelower than this career thirty point four
percent three point shooter, So congratulations, horrible three point shooter. Yeah,

(32:31):
he's not great. Those are JalenGreen numbers right now. Yeah, the
Jalen Green really struggling. Hey,hey, he's got two back to back
thirty four point games, that's true, all right. He's been getting chippy
with some of those, yes hehas. I was like DeMar de Rosan.
I thought, yeah, it's likeDeMar uh not Demartin Rose and Bradley

(32:51):
Beal. Yeah, he tried toget one with get get it on with
Beal on the court. Yeah,It's like, I don't know, man,
I think Bill Bill, Bradley Billlooks prett Jack. Yeah, Jalen
Green, and I don't. Hedoesn't strike me. I mean, who
are you gonna bet on the jackguy or the guy who wears nail nail
polish in a fight? Just sayingBradley Beal probably mean probably, but that's
okay. I mean, I gotJalen's back. I'd like to see.

(33:13):
I'm wishing him the best in hisfuture. Francases, Yeah, me too.
I'm a miss. I'm miss JalenGreen. What are you? He's
you're moving away, but you're not. It's not like you're gonna are you
gonna? Are you gonna league pass? So you can watch the Rockets yeah,
I'll probably watch it on Okay,shout out to t No, it's
because it's Spurs country over there inAustin. That is true, but uh,

(33:37):
that happened to me when I movedto Austin to go to UT I
had to get league pass if Iwanted to watch the Rockets. That's such
a scam, I know. Yeh. And then that was right around when
t Mac got traded to the team, and like, crap, they got
t Mac and yow, they're aboutto rip off five straight championships. I
better get league pass. Yeah,they did not rip. And then I
barely saw either of them because theywere all hurt the whole time. Yao

(34:00):
Ming, like all right, wellhere we go, here's more Louis Scola
action. Didn't they have that runthough, where they won like twenty games
in a row twenty two? Yeah, without yell Ming, Well, I
think partially without Yao Ming. Ithink he started maybe like the first game
of that or something like that.Yeah, and then it was Team X
season and well you knew the teamwasn't gonna do much just because of all
the injuries. Yeah, it's sadthe way that ended. I were glad.

(34:22):
I brought League Pass. I boughtLeague Pass in those years. You
spent a lot of money round.Yeah, I didn't have any money,
and well I don't have any moneynow. I certainly didn't when I was
nineteen years old buying League Pass andAustin like some kind of idiot. All
right, what else you got,Trey? All right? So? Uh
one more before we go. Alot of drama over there at red Bull

team boss, Christian Horner, he'smarried to one of the Spice girls I

(35:07):
there's apparently reports of harassment against anotherfemale employee at red Bull f one,
and people are mad Max for stappand might leave. Oh wow, okay,

he the goat? Yeah? He'slike the best F one driver in the

one hundred fifteen. It's fine.I sure hope that doesn't come up.
No, that didn't have any No, it wasn't. They weren't like kicking
the ball in the pitch and thenthat comes up. It's all about the
team, it's about the victory's trade. But I'm really worried about these fair

financial fair play, all right,Tray, anything else? Has anybody died
unexpectedly that you're gonna bring up?No? Just Chris Mortensen? Oh okay,
