I opened up today's episode talking about a badass sports owner who isn't afraid to admit he made a mistake. He's a rarity in a world of beggar billionaires who need government handouts to build brand new stadiums every 20 years. Plus, I'm no Ryan Tannehill fan, but he's not obligated to be a mentor to his new teammate Malik Willis...right? And to wrap things up, my uncultured ass took a look at the Met Gala.

65: Beggar Billionaires cannot be stopped, plus a defense of...Ryan Tannehill?

The Lions deserve a lot of credit for their 21-20 win Thursday, but the Chiefs were missing something that the Texans need themselves. Speaking of those Texans...how the hell are they going to overcome all these injuries and beat Baltimore Sunday?

The Texans are going to need TONS of luck Sunday | The Lions are...good?

First I reacted to the Eagles 34 - 28 Thursday Night Football victory over the Vikings. After that I explained who I'd pick RIGHT NOW between Texans QB C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. And to wrap things up, I explained why Houston matches up GREAT with Indy...

C.J. Stroud or Anthony Richardson...who'd you take RIGHT NOW?

Yes...we're just two games into both C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young's careers. But if we're living in the NOW, it's pretty obvious that Stroud's been the better quarterback. Plus, Deshaun Watson struggled YET again. Will he ever be the QB he used to be?

C.J. Stroud > Bryce Young already?!? Plus, Deshaun Watson STINKS

I still think the Astros WILL win the division. At the very least, I'm 100% confident they'll be in the playoffs. But given the suddenly human pitching, bad baserunning, and bad fielding...I'm starting to waver.

Can the '23 Houston Astros win the World Series?

They needed it to keep Texas and Seattle off their ass. A massive thank you to Baltimore for pulling Kyle Bradish after 6, letting Shintaro Funijami pitch AT ALL, and throwing to Mauricio Dubon when they absolutely didn't have to. It certainly takes a lot of focus off of Dusty Baker giving Yordan Alvarez the day off...only to use him as a pinch hitter. Also, a shoutout to the Astros pitching staff, especially Cristian Javier for a lights out performance against a Baltimore team that had scored 17 runs in the 2 nights before. I'm still of the belief the Astros probably WON'T win the World Series after this one, but it's good to see they won't go down without a fight.

Astros HANG ON to first in AL West with WILD 2-1 win over the O's

Yes, Derek Stingley has another hamstring injury...and is likely to miss significant time. Is this someone's fault? Plus, I discussed what I saw in Thursday night football AND something that's bothering me about media these days

I DON'T want to be on TV. PS: Derek Stingley Jr. is hurt again

The Detroit effing Lions look like LOCKS to win the NFC North. And it's not just because they stuffed the Packers in a locker on national TV. Plus we learned new details the dustup between Astros pitcher Hector Neris and Mariners star Julio Rodriguez.

The LATEST on Hector Neris' "words" with Julio Rodriguez | Did the Lions clinch the NFC North?

Rockett and Figgy reunite after a hiatus to discuss new Drake ft. SZA, Nas, CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans, an arrest in the Tupac murder case, Deion Sanders at Colorado, Chandler Jones, Colin Kaepernick's attempt to join the Jets, the Kevin Porter Jr. incident, Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift and much more!

Episode 258 - Ayoooo

The Texans DOMINATED the Steelers 30-6 thanks to Bobby Slowik and C.J. Stroud. The 24 point W was their most DECISIVE victory since a 57-14 shellacking of the Titans back in 2017! Meanwhile, the Astros won the AL West thanks to great pitching and bullpen work Friday & Saturday...not to mention some help from the Mariners and failure by the Rangers. All in all, it's a GREAT day to be a Houston sports fan!

Texans CRUSH Steelers for most lopsided W since '17! | Astros win the AL West!

I love that the Texans have a pulse again. But I've got to admit, watching the Seahawks win on Monday Night Football in a bizarre beatdown [classic 'Hawks] made me miss covering the team (which I did from '19 - '21). Plus, it sure seems like the Mariners forced Cal Raleigh to apologize for his very honest statements on Sunday. If they did indeed do that, it's another sign of how the front office still doesn't get the players. And to wrap things up, I rambled about some funny Seattle Times headlines I've seen over the past couple of weeks.

I miss covering the Seattle Seahawks | WTF do the Mariners do now?

A millennial with a short attention span and a potty mouth talks about the NFL, Houston sports, pop culture, politics, and his life.
