Anything Goes Friday, Rockets vs Spurs Tonight!

is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. Go to NH Town. Good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition of the Matt Thomas show with Ross from San Antonio. This is Sports Talk 790. Yep, one of us loves animals. One wants to punch a squirrel. And Stevie Wonder. And Stevie Wonder.

No, you're just flinching. Gosh. It's like what you do to your brother. Wasn't there like a report that Stevie Wonder was looking for a driver's license and whatnot? I mean, I can kind of see where you're going with that. Is that true? I don't think it's true, but it's a good. He's going for CDL classes?

Or motorcycle? Oh, no. Golf cart? Nobody needs to be on a motorcycle. Certainly not Stevie Wonder. Yeah, I'm anti-motor cycle. Good morning, everybody. It is 1005.

I'm coming to you from the Animal City of San Antonio, Texas. where tonight it's NBA Group Cup play. Do you feel the fever in the city for Group Cup in-season tournament action? Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Not really. I'm excited. It'll be fine. Amazon Prime. I'll watch it on the plane. That's right. So what's going on with your flight situation? For those who don't know, you're going to California tonight. Yes. I'm going to California with an aching in my heart, Matt. All right. Now, there has been a reduction in flights, a 4% reduction I checked last night. We were good to go. No, they will be emailing you if something happens.

I'll check my email. You know that. Yeah, or you're in text for that matter. That's double. Okay, so you're going to be there. So you're all set. I'm at B27. I, 15 minutes I checked in late. I messed up. Oh, okay. And what is your current wait time at Hobby Airport to go through T. It's funny, you ask. I was looking that up right now. current wait time at hobby airport is eight minutes because wex this morning went to Orlando

to go with the Cougars yeah and he said he was in line no more than I think he said 30 minutes from start to finish which isn't terrible that could happen in the middle of the year even when people are working so yeah website says eight minutes okay well it's good let's get the government working so we get these flight controllers working these TSA people let's just get back to

some normalcy let's get them making money so they could feed their families and take care of themselves. It'd be great. Yeah. And by the way, if it gets worse, they're saying as much as 10% work airline reduction in flight. So today's 4%. They're going to bump it up in a couple of days

if things don't get. Fantastic, Matt. It's not the highway I want to open up the show. Political system is totally humming along at all cylinders. Yes, sir. We're all great. That's why we don't talk about it here on the show. Because it is, and anything goes Friday here on Sports Talk 790.

May I go fanboy for a moment here to begin the program? sure why not last night had dinner at a restaurant here in san antono and walked in and with people i was with and about 10 minutes into the dinner i happen to see a rather large man who looked to be in his early to mid-70s um i mean i want to say you know 666 7 6-8 i mean those aren't you know showing up everywhere and it was the ice man george gervyn in san antonio I know, it comes as a Starload to you, but yes, he has stayed in San Antonio all these years. Yeah, it's a little starling. And I went 100% fanboy because, you know, look, I was a Houston Rocket fan for decades.

Still I am, obviously. But as a kid, I was a Houston Rocket fan, Moses Malone, Calvin Murphy, Mike Newellin, you know, even Colwell Jones back in the day. Elvin Hayes when he came back to the second go-around. But there was a guy in the 80s besides. you know, early 80s, we're talking about the early days of magic that would just roast the rockets on a regular basis. And frankly, George Gervin did that forever and ever and ever with the San Antonio Spurs. Now, they didn't win anything, but he would just wake up with 40 points. I mean, he was the most fluid player I ever saw in the NBA as an early NBA connoisseur because all he did was just hit mid-range, floaters, layups, the finger roll.

And I loved him. And he was a San Antonio Spur. You're not supposed to root for them. but I loved him because I loved him. And I went up to introduce myself, and he could not have been nicer. And I was happy and satisfied just with that. And then somebody in our dinner party said,

hey, Iceman, will you take a picture with Matt? And I did. And so I have been fanboy ever since. You got about a big of a smile as I do with Kevin Durant. Yeah, I mean, there's just going to be a handful. As the kids say, cheesin'. Yeah, I was cheesin. I mean, there's going to be about 10 or 15 players I grew up with

that I would do that for. I mean, if Magic was in the restaurant last night, I have done the same exact thing. I would have probably compliment him on his social media tweets and then got in the picture. You should offer to be his tweet writer. Yeah. Michael Jordan, I probably would have just fallen like down like putty.

I probably would not have been able to even conjugate a verb or anything. I'm trying to think who else would be in that early 80s fandom. If Joe Montana walked in, I would have been all struck over that. Baseball-wise, obviously, no one Ryan. we used to do radio with him, that was amazing. Keel, I still get, when I'm in an elevator with a Keem Elijah, and we're just talking about my golf game,

which I don't play golf anymore, it's amazing to me. But, yeah, there's just a handful of other city heroes to me, and George is on the top of that list. Because, and I know, I would say a fair number of our audience that used to love the NBA would have a pretty good feeling of who George Gerber was. I don't know, do you have much memories of all? I have the no name.

I know the name. I've seen the highlights, but no memories. Yeah. He's done in 86. So I was like two or one and a half Yeah, I don't remember him being a great three-point shooter Or for that matter, even shooting three-pointers He was not, but I was looking him up

When you were telling us that you were hanging out with them Yeah, I was just curious I didn't realize he was a four-time scoring champ I mean, that's that's stout Those early 80 teams were They just would, I mean, they were like Denver, the Nuggets They would score 137 points and give up 138 I mean, that's what that NBA was.

That's better than watching the Texans. It's 9 to 6. Yeah. By the way, it would be like the Broncos. Yeah, Broncos and Raiders last night. I got back from dinner. And oh, my God, it's funny, this hotel has Amazon Prime TV channel on. I don't know why that is.

Oh, and you are in a nice place. So I didn't have to even go to my phone to watch the game. It was 10-7. The Texans lost to a team that scored 10 points at home last night. That's not bad thing. have gone. Well, they should have beat him. And they would have beat him if their quarterback was healthy. What's up? And now you've got the girthy neck of Davis Mills and Davis Mills we trust. I would say, would you say it's more length or girth or both? Oh, it's both. And people are

going to social media and extending it of a man who doesn't need a neck extender, it's him. And by the way, the line has flipped since the confirmation of C.J. Stroud being out. And where was it before and where is it now? One and a half Texans now it's one and a half Jacksonville. Can I say, remember last week I didn't make a prediction on the game? I'm staying away from this one too. Texans get the victory. What's up? By the way, last night, Ashton Genti,

19 carries for 60 yards. Did it have a touchdown, however? Yes, he did. What's he on pace for? Let's take a look here. 547 yards, sports RV. Mm-hmm. You said he would never in his career have a thousand yards. So I'm feeling pretty good. So I'm going to because I'm going to win this year's bet. We'll see.

There's no bet. There's no bet. It's just a bragging right. It was just a ridiculous statement. What I want to do is I need to amend it. And I think I should be allowed to amend it. No, no, no, no. Stay with me on this as I meant.

Because I was talking about Boise State and how they have Ashton, he's really good and you're being dismissive. Here's my amendment. Okay. And I believe I absolutely should get this because I had really, I had really forgotten about the 17th game. Ash and Gentile will never rush for 1,200 yards in his NFL. In his NFL career? Okay, you want to bet on that? That's what I want.

I want to bet on that. Okay, let's bet. Habachi, what do you want? No, no, no. We're going to talk about this. This is going to be probably an eight or nine year bet. Yeah, that's okay. I think it's going to have to be.

I know you will. I'll be in the home. How about this? The loser has to feed the other one's night pudding to them. I don't want you to. That sounds like you're the loser. I mean, either way. That's a lose, lose.

It comes to airplane. That's what we can do. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so we need to think of an appropriate eight to nine year bet. Maybe, well, look, we'll

put $1,000 in a savings account. Well, how about we do this? We'll put it in Bitcoin. Bitcoin dipped pretty big this week. Why don't we put $300 into this account, and then we'll take the money and go to a casino,

whether it's like Charles or Las Vegas, and you'll spend the winner get suspended. So $300 in nine years will be $300 and $3. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Or put it in a 401K, whatever.

All right. It's an ending goes Friday here. Ian Eagle is going to join the presentation of our show today. We're looking forward to that. Ian's got double duty, Ross. He has the Rocket Spurs on Amazon tonight, and he's got the Texans and the hated Jaguars Sunday for CBS. Are they the hated Jaguars?

Eh. I mean, is it, is it, I mean, realistically, that's the Texans' biggest rival, yes? Got to be Jags or Titans. Colts whipped their ass for the most of their history. I'll go, is it Titans because of the Houston ties? Let me ask you this. Who are the rivals of the other teams in the division? I would say Jacksonville. I think Jacksonville, Houston's a two-way street.

Yeah, because both teams have had victories on both sides. Both teams win and the other teams' home field, typically. I mean, it's like the saddest rivalry. It's like, you know when they have a boxing card and there's the main event and then, like, the co-made event. And they're like, it's like the fight that happens before anybody even gets to the arena. It's like the off-TV fight. It's not one of the storied rivalries. As I say in TV, it's a dark match

in wrestling where there's no television cameras on it. That's basically the same thing in boxing. Yeah, that's not good. Iron Eagle 11 o'clock. You're going to apologize and some people at 1130. All of you will. We've got the news at noon. We have a doctor-rode at 1 o'clock, now in Florida Stories at 1.30, and at hell yeah, or not

today at 150? Are you staying with me the whole time? Are you busting out early? What do you do? I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Okay. So, right, believe it or not before you go. That's all I ask you do. Oh, crud. I'll get that done, right? What's the category? Um, it could be the ice man, George Gervin, if you want to. Uh, it could be, I mean, what's going on with Jacksonville?

I don't know. You could do I and Eagle. I mean, there's plenty of things. Just make sure it's get done freely. That's all I'm going to figure it out. And then we got, uh, so Jonathan, I'm going to read two non-Florida stories today to make up for Ross's one. Okay. So it could be, um, you know, I'm a little picky on my night.

I mean, I could record one. I'd call in. Well, the problem is, are you Uber into the airport or how are you getting over there? Uh, actually, my mother is offering. to pick me up. I mean, that's drop me off. From your apartment, right? So you're not going to be on before the close of the show, right? There's no way you get to hop me by then. No. I was going to say, I have to go home and finish packing.

Oh, that's the reason why you're leaving early, because you've got to finish packing. That's how you roll. Yeah, I got caught up last night. I had a bunch of stuff going on. You're not even using a TSA as an excuse. You're just looking to get in extra packing time. What a fraud. I mean, I just sit there during Dr. Roto, and I just sit there during, believe it or not, You can handle it. I believe it. Oh, I can handle it. You take off an hour early all the time.

I know. And then you're off all next week. Yeah, I don't want you to relax and have a good time. Have a great trip. 1016. It's an anything goes Friday. It's 713-212-5-7-90. Matt and Ross with you on Sports Talk 790.

We look forward to visiting with you. If you're out there. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. It isn't anything goes Friday here on the program. 7-1-3-2-1-2-7-9-9. zero. On Twitter, you can follow us at SportsMT at SportsRV. Texans

Injury Report, Rossi got better yesterday. Let's talk about people we care about. Right, quad for Kami Fairbairn out. Christian Harris. What did I say? I said great. Titus Howard concussion, likely out. Ingram knee probably out. Jalen Petrie concussion

out, likely. C.J. Stroud concussion definitely out. limited were Will Anderson, Denico Autry, Nick Chubb, and Damien Pierce. Full participants, Dalton Schultz, back on the field, Braxton Barrios as well. And not that I want to get into a deep dive on Christian Harris, but remember when he used to play and was good? What the hell happened to Christian Harris' career besides being hurt? I don't know, I'm just injured. And he was never like he was a Pro Bowl guy.

No, but I mean, I think they were ready to pencil him in at one of the linebacking spots, but they kind of held on them a lot last year. He has been one of the great enigmas of the last couple years for the Texans. It's like you don't even... Yeah, is he on the team? Is he on the team? Is he on the team? Is he hurt? Oh, he's got to...

When in doubt, he's got to be heard. I mean, he's got to be heard. So, today is the big injury day when you... If you don't typically have a full workout by Friday or at least limited, you're not going to play on Sunday. But, yeah, it's going to be ugly. Even if the Texans win, I can't imagine it being one of those situations are going, wow.

America's running for this. I might want to bring a book if you're going to the game or something. I mean, I'm not going to put them in a spot. I'm like, look, I mean, you should actually. We're the number two broadcast team. We got, we got given this game. We had Davis Mills and Trevor Lawrence. I mean, did we do something wrong?

I mean, what was it the, the Spiro-Didas group chat? It's called the AFC South group. Spira hasn't even done it. I don't think he's done it. Has he even done a Texans game this year? I think he's been busy with the, the Jets and the Browns. Yeah.

Or is he on that game? They play each other. He is, actually. It's a very good perception. So Spiro's a national guy. I've only had one or two conversation with him. He's good. I think he does a good job.

He is really good. But, you know, when you have Nance and you have Harlan and an eagle in front of you, you're going to be kind of stuck. You know what I mean? Yeah, there's thousands of play-by-play guys. If you're number five, you know, that's pretty good. You're just behind all-time greats. Yeah, so you're behind all these goats.

and you're doing the number five games, so there's only five in a week, so you're going to get the worst of the group, and the worst of the group is the Jets in Cleveland. So you're going to be stuck with those. Yeah, it could be worse. And what they do is the NFL will schedule, the networks will schedule out two to three weeks in advance.

So you might get lucky that maybe somebody, you know, three weeks down the road is a lot better than you thought it would be, so it would be a better game or maybe the feature game. But usually on the networks will, you know, like New England, Tampa Bay, they had Jim Nance at Tony Romo and that bad boy for a long time. And, you know, so maybe, again, I don't know if I am asked to do Jacksonville, Houston because it was so close to San Antonio. Yeah, that could be that situation. But no, it's, I mean, it's a bad game, but Browns and Jets is still worse.

Browns and Jets is worse. Buffalo Miami would probably, I don't know, Miami's not even that good. I mean, Buffalo should go down there and win, I guess. Yeah, but that's a 50 point total. That would be at least fun. Yeah. You got 37 and a half and What?

Browns and Jets is a... Oh no. Texans. All right, I'm going to take this back. Texans are the lowest total on the board now. Must be because of Davis Mills. Oh, 38.5 for Brown's Jets. Yikes.

I'm going to throw up. I'll be out of town. It's fine. Sam Warren, Chronicle writer, just put out his tweet. It says Texans, Jaguars has heated up, especially after Trevor Lawrence said, quote, I don't think it's a secret we don't like each other. But Houston insists distaste is one-sided and isn't buying the beef.

Quote, I'm not worried about none of that. I wouldn't call rivalry, man. Well, okay. Well, Z's a lot of sure here nearly decapitated Trevor Lawrence last year, so I imagine Trevor Lawrence doesn't like the Texans. I mean, our, okay, look, my cougars don't have a rival. My, the Texans don't have a rival. The Astros, maybe the Rangers, right?

I mean, there's just. Yankees. Yeah, I mean, the Astros have got some, because they've seen some people over the years in the playoffs. Who would you consider? The Rockets rival. I mean, it's Golden State, but unfortunately it's one-sided because they win every time. Yeah, you know, I was recently thinking about that. It was one-sided, but like you make the – it's not like you got swept every time.

You made them earn 18. Yeah, you went to Game 7 twice. I will say Spurs and Mavericks. It could be. I mean, San Antonio's 5 and 2. They've dropped two straight games. But they are, they're not becoming team. I mean, they had some big battles in the 90s too.

Oh, for sure. I can tell you know my worst memory of Spurs Rockets is? Was it game 6 and 18? Is that when it was? Oh, God, I'm going to throw up. I think it was 17. It was 17. Whatever it was.

It was my first year. He went one for 11 from the field, and he was so bad. I spent the whole post-game show speculating if he had a concussion. Yeah. So the worst part to me, beyond watching those misses, was to the right. I was doing the PA at the time and Mono Genoblee blocks his shot

right in front of me. That wasn't that game. It wasn't the last game. It wasn't the last game that happened? I think it was the last game. I think that's how bad it got. Okay. I thought that was one of the games in San Antonio, but I can't remember. It was definitely in Houston. It was definitely in Houston for sure. Well, either way. No, because that game was a blowout.

Game 6 was when he was 1 of 11, or we're talking about two different games? I'm talking about the, I don't know what it was, but I can tell you that I watched Mono Genombole block James Hardin shot face to face. Because, I mean, I wasn't clearly downstairs calling it in San Antonio, so it had to be on the floor. So it had to be in Houston. Okay. The block shot, okay.

Yeah. And let me tell you, if I'm wrong, then I need to go to a hospital. Game 6 was definitely a blowout. And I think Lamarcus Alders didn't even play that game, right? Or a Kawhi Linder or somebody was out. All right, I'm looking at the video right here. Um, okay, it says So there is one in San Antonio that's showing up here.

That was in, that was in San Antonio. Okay. There was something else. Let's check you in, Matthew. Are you telling me, wait a minute. Yeah, I thought he did it. I was right. All right, hey, I'm going to a home.

I thought he blocked the shot right in front of me. I mean, you were probably at, you were at the game. Oh, yeah, but I was way far left, so there's no. your binoculars out. I'm trying to help you. Well, I'm still going to a home. Okay. There's no way.

There's no eye pants or butts about it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for shorting James Harden. I said he went one for 11. He went two for 11. My bet. Oh, geez. Okay.

So we're both even then on our mistakes. Wait a second. I was one number off. You had a different city. And said you were there. I really thought, well, I was there. I could tell you that. But I thought I was in Houston.

I thought I was doing PA. But, you know, all these things blur together. You know what it was? I think I think I had my hand on my chin the whole time and just complete disbelief that they were kicking the crap out of the rockets in Houston. That was the first year I was doing every playoff game for postgame. Well, if there's a rocket San Antonio series, you're coming with me from now on. Let's go.

This hotel's okay. I mean, you'd enjoy it? I'm sure. It's quite nice. 1029 on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. It's an anything goes Friday at 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-70. I'll tell you, you know, this is what happens. happens too when you do all as many games i do this is a really fast story brad sham a long time dallas announced i've been the cowboys announcer since the 80s right remember you you're you may have been producing we had a mile like the first week i was on the air and he was talking about tony dorsets 99-yard run against the vikings on monday night football and he was talking about this like he was yesterday and he's

like man it was this really cold day at metropolitan stadium and it was wind was blown and snowing that run was in the metrodome. So it happens to all of us. Yeah, false memories are real. It happens to me too. Like, I have memories that you've never taken any shots at me or made fun of me.

No, those are real, yeah. That's probably true. 713-212-5-790. It's 1030 here on Sports Talk, 790. NBA League Cup play tonight in-season tournament. I don't think it moves the needle for the NBA. Fans, it might move the needle for the players. It may make a game.

a little more meaningful today than it would be a normal November game. And I think Ross, that's probably the gist of it, right? I mean, I don't think people are like, let's get a watch party together to watch an in-season game as compared to, oh, by the way, it's the San Antonio Spurs. Probably not. I mean, I like it. It feels a little different with the courts. I think the first year it felt, I don't want to say big, but it felt like cool. And then we're to the third year of this now, right?

Yeah. Second year was like, eh, kind of waned off a little bit, and we'll see this year. The games are good. The Rockets are in a very difficult group. They're calling it the group of death, Matthew. Oh, this one is being because it's the most competitive of the group? Yes. Okay.

The worst team in theory would be the Blazers and they've been very good. And is that Matt's connection or is that, it sounds like it could be me. Look, is that my microphone? Yeah, what's going on back there? Hmm. One, two, three. Okay, I'm going to switch mics. Not again.

Discuss amongst yourself, folks. All right, seven one, three. That's good. Okay. Yeah, I'm good, I think. That was a little bizarre. Let's, it's just part for the course.

Let's talk to Johnny on 790 at 1035. Hello, Johnny. Hey, what's going on, guys? Good morning. I've got two proposals to see what you think about it. Number one, minimum ticket fine for speeding in the cool zone, $500. Number two, once the person gets 75 years old, should have to take the physical driving. test, maybe every one or two years.

And if you think I'm ragging on the elderly, I'm 81 years old myself, so I'm included in that. Let me see what you think about that. Later, guys. Thank you. That is the perfect call for anything goes Friday. What was the very first thing he said, Jonathan? He wanted something.

I know about the age thing, about the driving. I think he was agreeing with Ross saying, like how 65, and up should be. Yeah. Oh, I'm, I'm set up. Hey, guys. Well, hi, Ross. This sounds better.

You sound like you're in stereo. Hey. Yeah, you know what? You always get the advantage of this, this, uh, better mic. I'm just kidding, I think. Yeah, we were talking about that earlier. Was it, uh, was, eh, nobody got time for that this week, right? Yeah, we were, we said the other day, 65, you get tested to get you to 70.

My philosophy was 70, get you to 73 and then every three years. Mm-hmm. And he called and said, hey, I'm not. trying to bag on my fellow seniors because I'm 81 years old. So there you go. Yeah, it's, it's ridiculous. I'm sorry. There, I can't, honestly, I cannot believe there is not some sort of limit.

Well, if there, if you wanted to move to me at the very least make it 90. Let me tell you, I, if I, I always said this to you, if I never drove again, I'd be okay. I don't, I know, man, I go for a drive. When I hit this Mega Millions lottery tonight, Oh, you're playing? I am never driving again. Oh, good tweet from Pedro. Yeah, my mic's going out.

I got to go home, guys. Wait a minute. You're already leaving an hour early. But my mic doesn't work. What do you want me to do? You know what? Go on the buzz and see if you can do it on air shift with the buzz. You can at least make your money for the day, right?

Yeah, that'd be nice, actually. Get some buzz money? Yeah. Let me tell you about old buzz money. You play a bunch of hits, and you talk for like 12 seconds at a time, and they make six times when we make. Yeah. How does that happen?

I don't know, Matt. Life isn't fair. I mean, Rod Ryan's in the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. He's making five times than I am. Deserved. He doesn't have to speak. I mean, we talk 40 minutes an hour. He talks four minutes an hour.

He's very nice. I love Rod. I love Rod, too. He loves his Buffalo Bills. I have mad respect to that. That's true. We're always talking trash about the bills. Yeah, we are.

You know, it was funny because when my wife and I sometimes I was like, if we lived in a certain city, would be a, will we be a fan of this? And we were talking about if we ever moved to Detroit, would be, we'd be Michigan fans or Michigan state fan. I said, look, you've got to go with Michigan. Michigan is the state school. I mean, that's the, that's the one you go to. And I said, imagine if we lived in Buffalo. We would be Bill's Mafia, although if you ought to be jumping on tables, setting myself on fire on the semi-regular basis.

I mean, it would be, we would fully embrace that. Because there's really only two things in town there. there's the bills and the sabers. They don't have much college there to speak of. They probably talk more bills than even the Texans flagship talks about the Texans for 12 months a year. Yeah. I mean, what else are you going to talk about, as you said? SUNY Buffalo?

Well, I mean, the Buffalo Bulls basketball program used to be good a couple of years ago, but that's not a, you know, I wouldn't think that's a... The football team's interesting sometimes. Kaleel Mack, Buffalo legend. Yeah. You all right over there? I hear some sirens. Yeah, we're in San Antonio.

It's downtown. It's downtown. By the way, did you see the photos of their new stadium? The, who's new stadium? Oh, Buffalo's? Yeah. No, I don't think so. It's almost done, and it's going to be a little smaller capacity.

Oh, really? And it's got no roof. I don't know of a community that embraces its cold, horrendous weather more than Buffalo fans loves its nasty weather. Yeah, and isn't it like, for example, that roof collapsing in Minnesota? I mean, isn't it way, you have to make a much stronger and probably more costly roof if you're in a place where it snows a lot? Yeah, Minneapolis, St. Paul's like, yeah, we'll do that.

You got to make it like a, yeah, but they didn't do it for the twins. No, they did not. No, the twins didn't want to spend the money at all. They're like, well, we don't care that you're cold in four months of the year. Yeah, we're good. people's bad hands are stinging every time they swing the bat well how about the fact they have like six snowouts in the month of march and april so they're having they're having to play like nine double headers in july ridiculous no one of the twins can't hang on because they're over you know they're being rained or snowed out but yeah buffalo's new stadium looks very nice smaller capacity so what happens when they do smaller capacity they're going to raise your ticket prices of what they're going to do because it's all about revenue it's not about getting many more people in the building but it's i mean it's why it's an open hold stadium it's a regular stadium. And, you know, like, you always see those yearly stories about Bill's fans that go to the

stadium and when it's like six feet of snow and, like, hey, we need you to come to our stadium and dig us out of this so we can actually play the game. I think people live for that stuff. Yeah, they do. They get paid very little or nothing, right? Is it volunteer work? I can't recall. Yeah, you can't get a ticket.

I think you get like a meal or like a voucher for like a Bill's jersey or something. Yeah. Well, like some hot chicken broth. Yeah. I mean, who pays for your pneumonia bills? I don't know. in the intensive care. The frostbite.

I was in the stadium, and I was sure my toes are frozen off. And what if your dad, what if you're like seven or eight years old and you just want to stay in the house and watch cartoons? Your dad's like, man,

let's go bills. Let's do a family event. Let's go to the stadium and dig snow out for a couple hours. And builds character. Also builds, perhaps the invitation bills. Oh, resentment.

Yeah. He builds resentment. Yeah. I'm going to be a Miami Dolphins fan. Sorry. Let's get a short time out. We've got I and Eagle coming up in 20 minutes. We got you to join us next as well.

We're talking about Miami. Buddy Ray is going to talk some Rockets basketball for Miami. So we are super popular Ross in Los Angeles. We crush it in Miami. We do okay in the heartland of America. We're just trying to dig into our own space here a little bit called Houston, Texas. So if you're in Houston, we'd like to join us, 713, 212-5-790. 7-13-212-750.

It's an anything goes Friday. It's Sports Talk, 790. It's Matt and Ross with you, Ion Eagle. The Amazon Prime on NBA, or NBA and Amazon Prime. We've got the NFL on CBS. He'll also be the voice of the Final Four. Again, he was a vote for his to the Final Four last year in San Antonio. Oh, man, I've been back here since then.

Oh, or I don't know. Doesn't matter. Sorry, Matt. It's fine. And then there were two. And there was only one standing. That's how it goes. Only one team happy at the end of the year, Matt.

Just one. Ray and Miami at 1048. Ray, good morning to you. All right, good morning. I have some bad news for you, Matt. You're not crushing it in Miami. I'm from Houston. I have some...

A question for you about tonight's game. It's going to be a showdown. It's going to be a big-time showdown. A Texas-I showdown. Do you think Kevin can cover the 25 because I think if the Rockets are beating them, if the Rockets are winning, Kevin is not going to play a lot. And I'm worried about Kevin and a man covering 15 points.

You know, I got a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I got a guy at 10 points. Wait, you're asking me for betting advice on an NBA? Have you not seen the NBA, my friend? I cannot discuss it. No, ask Ross.

No. Ask Ross. I'll tell you. I know. I know. I know because I hear these guys look. Matt is an NBA employee. He cannot talk about NBA gambling.

Well, it is the Rosvilla Real Show. That's true. There we go, Ray. I'm saying out of this. My brother Ray. The Rosvilly Real Real Show featuring Jonathan and sometimes with Matt Thomas. Because it's the NBA season matters on the road. But in all honesty, I think it's going to be a very good game.

And to Wimbayana, until you get a quadruple double like Hakeem the Dream or David Robinson, I'm not impressed. All right. He's got to get a quadruple double to impress you. All he's got to do is get a quadruple double. It's only like, what has it happened? Like three times or something? David Robinson?

Akeen. Akeen twice? Yeah. Have we had one since? I've been calling games? Have we had one in 10 years? Not with the Rockets. I'm just talking about in the NBA in general.

I don't think so. I'll give you, though. If there's one person I can get it, it'd be Nicola Yochich, right? I mean, I think Wimby could do it too. He gets 10 blocks frequently. If he can get 10 assists and 10 points and 10 rebounds, yeah, he's a lock. The rocket I would put as the favor to get a quadruple double, it probably won't happen because they're so rare.

I would go out on the first of the quadruple double. Yeah, you basically got to get, you had to find somebody who can get to 10 blocks. So Wimby can do that. I think he's got nine in a game this year. Yeah. I'm going to look, see what's his, Yeah, he had nine against the Pelicans, so he can do that. He's a threat to get a quadruple double.

Let's go to Dave in Spring on 790. Dave, good morning at 1051. Good morning, gentlemen. Hey, listen, it's anything goes Friday, so I'm going to test you on that a little bit. I want to talk about a couple of hair-related issues related to the rockets. One's a question, one's a comment. So my question, first of all, maybe I'm getting my eyes are failing me, or maybe my TV is going bad, but is Alpy rocking like frosted tips this year or highlights or something?

I mean, have I, do you notice that? And the reason I ask is it's kind of like Jalen Green with his painted fingernails. I start worrying about players who get a little too caught up in their appearance and stuff. So that's question one. You're around the team a lot, Matt, so what do you think? You know what? I don't stare at his hair, honestly. I did talk to him last night.

It's kind of light at the end, but I don't know if that's, it's like a lighter brown or something. I don't think he's got frosted tips, no. No, I think there is, you know, he is from Turkey, so they have the different hairstyles and approaches to their genuine care. But if I'm going to shoot the bologna with Alper and Schengun is probably going to be discussing about our follicles. Yeah, well, that brings me to my next thing. It's a comment, actually. And, Matt, you're uniquely positioned to do an intervention with your dear friend, Craig Ackerman because that man is hanging on for dear life to his hair and it's time for him

to realize that it's game over and it's time to bust out the razor blade because right now he looks like a Serbian prison guard with a bad case of mage okay I mean what do you think I'm not gonna he's always had short hair like that I don't think yeah I don't know I think he's no I think he's looking at it's right here's a thing correct I don't think he's patchy I don't think he's get Mange. You know, you watch the pregame shows. I'll watch the

pregame shows. I love them, but my goodness, the hair thing's guy. Let me tell you about Craig. Let me tell you about Craig Ackerman. Craig is one of my great friends. And again,

when he can make his own decisions about his hair. And I'm not going to comment on it because, A, I have been dealing with this for 30 years of my life, And so if he wants to hold on to what he's going to hold on to, let the man be. I mean, are you, are you, are you in Donnas? I mean, break down your life for me.

Is everything good for you? Do you have any belly fat? Are you got full main? What's going on in your life? Everything okay with you? Oh, I got a nice, you know, thin spot on the top for sure. Yeah, no question. But I'm not on TV.

Not on TV. You know, I'm trying to help. Well, there are bald. There are bald guys on television. Shaw McDonough is one of the great broadcasters, and he's bald. He is. Who else would be bald on TV I can think of

A lot of us Michael Chickles I don't know who that is Not in sports But all right Well I just You know anything goes Friday I thought to spend on my mind

I said let me call Matt He's around these guys I know you're close friends with Craig And I love Craig and I love Craig's work I do I do He's great at his job But the hair thing

I don't know All right guys I mean he does just get the buzz all around Like a foreguard Just he's like Does he do his own hair I'm not trying to be funny Okay, he does.

Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, that makes sense. If you're a guy, don't, yeah, I'm assuming he does. He slaps the three or the four guard on there and just goes it once around and then moves on about his day. Wow. What? No, I'm not talking about you. I'm just talking about the show.

You said anything goes Friday. You know what? Anything goes Friday. Monday through Thursday. We can't really get into this on Fridays. It's anything goes Friday. Mm-hmm. All right.

Let's go to Vince before we talk to Ian Eagle. Hi, Vince. Hey, um, on the Buffalo. Buffalo Bill's new stadium. I saw a feature on it one of their games here, I think it was last year, but I googled it just to make sure

what I was, you know, know what I'm talking about, but I'll just read the quick little paragraph. The new Buffalo Bill Stadium is designed to be weather resistant, though it's not a dome and will have a large, and we'll have a large canopy to protect fans from the snow and wind.

The design includes the world's largest snow melt system on the canopy, a heated exterior, and this is the most interesting part, and a wind blocking exterior and wind blocking exterior panels to minimize the weather's impact while keeping the field open to the elements.

So no, I don't need it, I guess. You know what? I think snow is snow. And obviously a lot of stadiums like Lambeau Field vince have heating mechanisms underneath the turf. Now, the stadium you can look at it from an aerial view, it does cover up quite a bit of the fans.

but Buffalo 15 degrees without a roof is still 15 degrees. And wind blowing and snow going when it's lake effect, it's not going to stop itself when it gets to the stadium. It's going to still blow and still going to snow. And again, part of it to me is I think is you could have put a dome, you could have put a roof on it and called it a day. And you mean to tell me the city of Buffalo would not have appreciated a nice warm place to watch their bills?

No, they were doing it because they were saving money. Yeah, and here's something they also mentioned. This is their field condition. The canopy is designed so that snow and rain can still fall on the field to maintain the traditional Buffalo Bill's experience. Yeah, so they're sickos is what they are, basically. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they're sickos. They throw that in there.

Thanks, Vince for the phone call. Ross, they like snow, they like wind, and they like setting themselves on fire. I mean, it's pretty much what Buffalo fan is. Hmm. Well, you mean setting things on fire and jumping on them. Well, yeah, they set the table on fire, and sometimes they light themselves up, they fall on the table. Self-immolating.

I would hope not. All right. Iron Eagle's going to join us. Morgan, Brian, and Neidiel. Look at you. You're welcome. Wow. I'm standing up.

I'm actually standing up in my seat. Don't stand up too long. It'll affect your microphone. Yeah, well. Things fall apart. Tom should be on the way. The text I'm getting about Craig's hair. I can stop it all of you.

Let the man live his life. I like how he's very utilitarian. I'm like, I'm just going to buzz this and move on. Let's get some other stuff to do today. You leave Craig's hair alone. It's great. I went on NBA TV today and I was bald and they didn't say anything of worry about it. 713-212-5-7-9.

This is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. What of the great broadcast? of our generation, a superhuman being and a man who's going to be busy covering Houston sports. He'll be calling Amazon Prime coverage of the Rockets and the Spurs. He'll be also on the call Sunday for Jacksonville v. Houston. It is the Matt Thomas Show at Ross.

We say hello to Ian Eagle, I believe it's probably four floors down on my hotel. Bert, how are you doing this afternoon? Good morning, yeah, yeah, getting ready for the Texas Tuesday. Great to be with you. Are you going to get shuttle service? so you actually want to jump on a plane to head to our Fair City, Houston after the game. Thank you. Thank you for caring about the logistics of my life, Matt.

Yeah. I will get there. It's that simple. Oh, that smells like a Kirk Herbstreet private jet moment. I think that's very... I mean, you are... Definitely not. You don't bring your dog with you, do you?

Forget it. We're moving on other things. Hey, so, Emmanuel Sharp is one of my favorite Houston Cougars, and I don't know if I have you talked since the chance of... championship game. I went bounce back and forth between the Rockets and coming to San Antonio for the title game. You've called some amazing game winning shots. You've also in your life called some amazing, oh my gosh, moments. And I would have to say as among your all-timers how that game between Houston and Florida ended up in San Antonio here this past April.

Yeah, what I think is so unique as a play-by-play announcer, you can play over in your head how to prepare for a potential game-winning shot. The build. up the stages of the call, you can't really prepare for not getting a shot off. That's not normally in the play-by-play game book. So the fact that it happened that way, that could be the only time a national championship is decided by circumstances like that. So it really was unique. A raft saw it in real time and said he can't touch the ball. And then time expires. It's over just like that. And then you have to shift into the mode of winners losers, which is Florida wins the title and Houston loses an absolute heartbreak.

So, very, very odd ending. He's a terrific player. That whole team is fantastic. I just so enjoyed telling their story, not just this past year, but previous years with Kelvin Sampson. And they're not going anywhere. He continues to pump out an incredible squad year and and year out. But that one may take the cake in bizarre, odd endings. Yeah, for sure. And hopefully you get a chance to call a different scenario this year. First of all, congratulations.

You and Kevin being the main announcers on Amazon Prime, a no-brainer. Let me ask you, when you finally took the position after, you know, working, you've been a Nets announcer for a long time, you'll be doing less of that this year. Did you get a chance to say, hey, I'm an old school guy. I like what the NBA used to do in broadcasting. I've got a couple of nuances. I mean, you've also hired an amazing, talented crew of producers

and behind the scenes books. But was Amazon ready to listen to some things about changing the way they broadcast games? Completely, completely. They came in with an open mind of how to attack this. They have really good people behind the scenes, really smart people, too. So it was interesting for me to head out. out to the seminar that we did out on the West Coast and hear from them. But they also were really good listeners and I think leaned on both me and Kevin with all

the years that we've worked the NBA. My first real point that I made, which fortunately they listened to, was look, day one, when we go on the air, it's got to look like the NBA, it's got to sound like the NBA. Don't reinvent the wheel day one. People just want to know that it's going to feel really. comfortable and it's going to be what they've come to expect when they turn on the television. And that's exactly what happened. And now I think you'll start seeing some new wrinkles. They'll try some things too, which I'm more than cool with. There has to be a period of

trial and error and see what sticks. But I'm definitely inspired by the way that they viewed this, the way that they've tried to take the best of yesteryear, while also recognizing. that there are places where maybe you can add to the coverage and find some new wrinkles. Ross with you as well, Ian, and I'm just curious, obviously, you as a veteran of the broadcast world, and it being radio platforms and on TV and now to streaming platforms, just I guess your overall view of where this is going is, do you think eventually everything will be on streaming platforms and just kind of the state of sports broadcasting in general? Well, I think there's a competitiveness now.

We're trying to get eyeballs and trying to get content, which obviously is where we find ourselves in the streaming world, not just in sports, but on the entertainment side, the amount of shows and movies that are being produced that are going straight to streaming. And it's found an audience. It's not just out in the wilderness somewhere. So the sports side was the next thing to really hit because of all the live programming that you can do, This is the one where you have to watch in the moment. You can't just record it and go back and watch it three days later. If you want to know what's going on in a game, you've got to be there.

And I think that's why Amazon and Netflix and others have jumped on board and why the leagues have seen that it is a viable option. I have not necessarily found, at least in the early going, the first couple of weeks, hearing from people saying, yeah, I just can't find you. You can find it. It's going to be a little different for people, and I think muscle memory kicks in,

and they begin to figure out, all right, this is my routine, this is what I do. I don't know what you guys do in terms of your live TV. I've made some adjustments in my life. We moved, and with that, it opened up an opportunity to try something else, which has been working for, our family. But I just know having kids, they don't

have cables. They don't have any designs on getting cable. It's just a new era when it comes to programming and how you consume it. Ian Eagle with us here on a sports talk 790 and talk real quick about the matchup tonight.

Obviously, Victor Wimbunyama, one of the early stories in the NBA, but has slowed down his last couple of games. Just your thoughts on him and the way teams are going to defend him. Rockets are going to do the same thing, try to get physical with him, send a second and third defender, and that's going to be something he's going to have to adjust to. Yeah, let me approach you from two perspectives. First perspective is just a pure basketball

perspective. He is just such a transcendent talent, and in year three of his career, as you turn on the TV, or if you're fortunate enough to see him in person, I would imagine that this is what a lot of people felt when Wilk Chamberlain first started playing in the NBA. There have been other great players, there have been people that have had Hall of Fame careers that have played the same position,

but he's just doing it differently. There's something in his movements, there's something in his body type that is just incredibly unique. So from a basketball standpoint, it's scary for the rest of the NBA. This guy is getting better with each time you see him.

He unleashes something a little bit new. And that leads to the second perspective, which is the play-by-play perspective. Matt, you can relate to this. When you're calling a game, the goal is to be on top of the action, and you never want to be the one that misses something that's special or different in the moment

because you're looking down at your notes or you're focused on the wrong thing and your priorities get out of whack. Every time this guy touches the ball, there's a chance he's going to do something. thing that you just haven't seen before. And a lot of it has to do in a subtle manner that the angle in which he takes, the fact that we've grown so accustomed to someone going on the baseline, someone his size, and you recognize, well, he only has a couple options. Well, not this guy.

He can take the baseline and what you would never see as a reverse layup being a possibility. He cannot just reverse layup it. He could dunk it with the offhand. So it really forces you to be on your P's and Q's as an announcer. And I'm just excited. I think, you know, this rivalry is really hitting a fevered pitch with four meetings this year. First one, Emirates, NBA Cup. I just think every game there's going to be a lot of anticipation when the Rockets play the Spurs this year. I will call tonight's game Rockets and Spurs and Amazon Prime.

We'll have it for you here on 790 with a 630 tip time. And then Sunday, it will be a. A lot of prep for I and for you for Logan Cook and Tommy Townsend conversation on that broadcast of the Texans and Jaguars. So please have your stuff together. And I don't want to get into a super deep dive of, because look, the Texans fan know they're beat up, backup quarterback, lots of injuries disappointment. Let me get to your new partner.

We knew JJ was headed for television stardom and whatever role he was going to be. And look, he reminds me of your counterpart of a counterpart of your other network and Greg Olson, studies the game, learns the game, trying to become a better broadcaster beyond this being an ex-football player. I think your chemistry has been amazing, but take us through what you can give to a guy like JJ, who's obviously very well recognized, but still has to learn the nuances of calling a sport on television week-to-week. Yeah, my whole approach when it comes to working with new partners has always been the same. Make them feel comfortable. Comfortable off the air usually translates to being comfortable on the air,

let them know that I'm going to be with them every step of the way. I'm not going to put them in a bad position. I'm not going to lead them down a road that has no exit strategy on the air. I'm going to go to those places with them, alongside them. And that goes a long way. Obviously, if you can form a friendship, that helps greatly. JJ came to the table equipped with so many skills to be really, really good at this. The fact of the matter is he's incredibly comfortable on television.

So that's the first thing that is either a mate to you or not innate. I don't know if I've worked with anybody, just from an on-camera point of view, that shows no hesitation whatsoever in whatever direction we have to go in at any moment. And then the other part, which you don't know about someone until you're really around them every day, he's such a thorough person. He thinks things through. He has great questions. So if he doesn't know something, he will ask you. And he's not afraid to ask you. Some people would be afraid to ask because they don't want to come across as not knowing what they're supposed to know. He wants to learn it. His football knowledge is through the roof. His humor is elite. His self-deprecation quotient, which I find to be highly likable and relatable,

is also excellent, and then he's got great instinct. So, you know, we just hit the ground running. It was really easy, which is not normally the case in television. Usually it takes a little time. By week one, week two, week three, it felt like we had been working together for 10 years. Final question. Who is the best team in the AFC? Because I can't figure it out right now.

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. I had Indianapolis last week. everybody was on the bandwagon. And I think they're really good, by the way. I'm not going to take the one loss and then just dismiss them. I think Denver's record is obviously probably not what it might show you in terms of who they are. I don't think there's a team in the AFC would be against playing Denver right now in the postseason. So you are what your record says you are.

I get that. But I think there's a caveat there. based on some of the limitations that I've seen. Kansas City, I'm not going to toss them aside just yet. I think Buffalo has the most potential, but I find myself saying that year in and year out. And here we are in the AFC North. Baltimore is a sub-500 team,

and everybody's picking them to win the division. So the whole thing just feels upside down. Well, I thank you for your time. Always appreciate you coming on the show. And the best part about folks, when you go to your Amazon account, if you drop Ion Eagle on the discount code, you get 10% off your next order. So, congratulations. 10%. Yeah, 10%.

Thank you, friend, for the time. We really appreciate it. We'll see you at the arena later this evening. Yep, and I do travel my parakeet. Thanks for asking. What's the parakeets name? Groucho. Groucho Eagle. Very good. Thank you, sir. We'll talk with you later. Thanks again. Awesome stuff. The amazing Iron Eagle. As good of a broadcaster as as a person, period. end of story. Parakeet and Eagle.

That sounds like a sitcom. Or like a buddy comedy. Yeah. Eagle and his parakeet. Of course, on Animal Planet, right? Yeah, of course. Stream the next day on Hulu or whatever that is stream out. I'd watch.

Yeah, I don't think I... Can you travel a parakeet? I mean, that makes it kind of noisy in the background, right? Yeah. You've got to sedate it for takeoff. Parakeet Benadryl. We do not endorse what Ross just said. What?

Okay, just making sure. Drugging your bird? Oh, Lord. All right. Time for a break. I am. Reincarnated. I was Stargazing.

Life goes on. Is this Kendrake-Lamara? Look up. Looking for the Bockely. Yes or no. Rostical in the studio. Don't blame me. He just sent me a text.

Grammy nominations out today. you, nine more nominations for this. Woo! Unbelievable. Your thoughts, Matt? Let's see, he's at 22 Grammy wins. Yeah. I don't think he's going to sweep all nine.

Most all time would be Beyonce with 35. So he can get closer to Chick Corea. This will be a song that the kids will be singing 30 years from now. Absolutely. I hope you know that. I know you're being your tongue in cheek, but you're actually telling the truth. I can hear his frown to the mic.

I see I'm gritting my teeth, actually. So congratulations to all the Grammy-nominated artists and leading the way, Kendrake Lamar with nine. Yes, congratulations. I'm sure he'll be very successful. He is. He already is.

He already is. I mean, I can't do anything about that. All right. We're going to apologize for some things we've said and done this past week. We'll do that in about 10 minutes from now. Brian is with us at 1122 on the Matt Thomas show at Ross. Brian, thank you for holding and good morning. Yeah, no worries. Good interview with I and Eagle.

I always love it when you guys have Monty. It's just a wealth of knowledge and just great demeanor and all. It just seems like a really good dude. But, hey, Matt, I know you guys talk to the team on occasion, you know, doing pregame prep, getting knowledge and stuff. like that or, you know, bits to work in. Last night, a buddy mine, he's a, he's a public official in San Antonio, and he took his daughter's basketball team out after their game for sushi

and happened to go to the same restaurant that some of the Rockets players showed up at. So they were gracious enough to take pictures with him. So their team got pictures with a man and KD and then Coach Udoca. So if you see those guys are having to talk to them, just say, hey, that made their day. they were so thrilled. They were still talking about it this morning. So that was really cool of those guys to stop and do that, even though they're out in public and in an away city.

But people who know who they are. He went to high school here. So a longtime Rockets fan, but it was really cool for them to have that interaction with those guys. So, yeah, if you pass that along to them, if you happen to see that guy. Real quick on the Astros. Oh, yeah, I was just going to say,

Brian, I saw that, I was eyewitness to that, and it 100% happened. And not giving away too many details. Kevin Durant is just a good dude. And again, look, I know he's got people on his crosshairs occasionally on social media. But there were a bunch of young ladies that were in their basketball uniforms, either had played a game or practiced. Yep. And several Houston Rockets took pictures with them. And it was just super, super classy.

Yes, I'll agree with you on that. Yep, awesome. And they were thrilled about it. So yeah, good. He sent in some of the pictures and really, really cool of those guys that did it. So that was cool of them. Real quick on the Astros front, I was kind of surprised to see, I know they made a bunch of 40-man roster moves yesterday to get back down. I wasn't surprised to see Pedro Leon get picked up. Everybody's always talked about the skill in that he has, and, you know, I think Baltimore is a good spot for him. I was kind of surprised to see that Chas McCormick actually cleared waivers. I know he struggled a little. bet and maybe it's the injury aspect but do you know if he would somebody would have picked him up off waivers would they have had to pay him at his current salary and maybe that's why he didn't get picked up or just maybe somebody wants to sign him to a minor league deal at first because i was surprised that he actually cleared waivers and that nobody claimed them when they did that

and then uh in the off season i hope they definitely go out and get uh i'd love to see them make a run at ranger swaras just have another lefty in the mix um and i saw they sign the uh the hit coach from the Padres. And I would love for them to go out. And at least as an assistant hitting coach or to have another voice, I would love them to have Michael Brantley turn them down. I know he's got some young kids, but I think he would be a huge asset to that room and to those hitters and that.

I'm sure he would say no. But I would love for, I hope maybe they've made the ask already of saying, hey, would you like to come back and be a part of this staff? and work with especially some of the younger guys, the Cam Smith and the Zach Coles and those guys who were coming through. But good show is always guys, Matt. And I think part of it was hard for me to watch the NBA tournament

is the floor. It's like watching Boise State Field 24-7. It's just hard to watch those games on that floor. So I have to listen to you on the radio. Thank you, Brian. I appreciate. Have a new weekend. All right, thank you.

The floor, by the way, in San Antonio, was great. I found it out today. So I don't think it would be nearly as obnoxious is perhaps other floors. I felt a piercing pain in my eyes when you said that, though, so I don't know. We'll see how it goes. Yeah, I've not seen it. You can go look on your Google images and whatnot.

I'm sure there's photos of it. I don't know the exact rules about waiver claims after end of season, but I'm going to presume Ross, I mean, kind of connecting the dots that if somebody took him, that they would have to inherit the contract. Because, yeah, I think Chasm... I mean, Chasmichael is going to play somewhere, but probably not at the dollar amount that I guess the team

I think he's still an arbitration isn't he? Yeah, but I mean, I think what Brian said makes sense maybe it's a minor league deal.

Yeah, he's got one year left of arbitration, it looks like. And probably not worth that money, whatever that happens to be. So, yeah,

he'll sign a minor league contract somewhere with an invite to spring training. I mean, he'll get, he's not done. But I, he'll end up somewhere.

Somebody will take a flyer on him, and we're wishing him the best. I mean, you have a guy who's hit 22 home runs in his career. That's interesting, but he's all, I mean, he's 30 years old. We're not, you're talking about some spring chicken here. Correct. So, yeah, fourth outfit or that fifth outfitter kind of thing. And then to the other point, the Pedro Leon tribute was kind of odd from the Astrosocial Media Department, you know, to each his own on that. And, oh, Michael Brown.

He's a space cowboy legend. Yeah. Do you see the Space Cowboys tweet? I did not. He's like their all-time. leader in like, hold, I'll pull it up because I don't want to say stuff that's wrong. All time leader and hits, total bases, RBIs, walks, stolen bases, and runs scored. They should retire a jersey.

That is a space Cowboys legend right there, Pedro Leon. Yeah. And by the way, when Michael Brantley said he wanted to retire to go hang out with his kids, I think he meant it. I don't think he was, yeah, look. He may go to Florida for a few days. I mean, you know, he lives in West Palm, so he might be at camp, but I have never heard Michael Brantley say, I'm ready to get back in the major leagues again, and it's a hitting coach.

So it might happen down the road, but I think when he retired, he was pretty explicit in saying, I want to see my children grow up. And so I think until they're at a point where they don't need dad around much, I don't know how old his kids are, I can't envision Michael Brantley doing it until the coast is clear from home. I don't think there's a single, like, legendary hitter who is a hitting coach in baseball. So it's, it's low-hanging fruit. I'll just say it. Well, I think it's, hey, it's let's go get a guy that was a quote-unquote professional.

Yeah, he could be a consultant or something like that. But, I mean, there's legendary hitters don't normally just become hitting coaches. No. I mean, the greatest hitting coach in the history of the Astros was Jeff Bagwell. And Jeff's like, I'm not going to do this. I heated it for like two months. He's like, I kind of not put in the time. Because that's video room, that's staring at people's swings.

That's extra time in the batting cage. and if you're a multimillionaire or one of the greatest of all time and somebody that can't do it as good as you can, you tend to not have much patience for that. Yeah. Okay, well, Pat Burrell, right? He's the Giants hitting coach,

and he was pretty good back in his day. Brett Boone is the hitting coach for a major league team. I want to say to the Rangers, I think. Yes. Good player, but I mean, nothing spectacular. I'll just say it's rare. It is rare. So, you know, if Michael, I mean, Michael Brantley doesn't have enough skin on the wall to be an all-time great,

but if he wants to come back and do it, yeah, but again, every time he's like, man, I miss my family. And so when you give up your life and plan other cities and don't get to see your kids be growing up, those guys just don't want to run back into a major league uniform to go spend some time in, you know, in Oakland or Sacramento for several weeks. Rossi, we owe some people some apologies. If you're out there in radio landing, want to apologize for anything you've done to someone in your life, whether it be your spouse, your work. your boss maybe you flipped somebody off on the freeway today anything is fair game at 713212 5 790 it is

one of the two most cathartic half hours in the history of sports radio you get a chance to say simply i'm sorry 713 212 5790 713 212 5 790 all right let's go you houstonians need to apologize for a lot of things so calling right now and say these magical words. I'm sorry. So sorry. And we have been fools on this radio show all week long. 713-212-5-790. All I ask you to do is think about what you've done this week and the regrets you've made.

And simply call 7-13-212-5-7-9 and say, I'm sorry. Ross, since you're living I'm sorry. Yes? What are you sorry for? You got anything going on? I get a couple things, I guess. Please do.

I think again, we need to apologize in the state of Louisiana. This is two weeks in a row now. Sorry. Please forgive me. We've been doing our Cajun stereotypes. We even did Louisiana governor, believe it or not now,

with House and Tiptoe. I mean, we're just straight up making fun of the state, of an entire state, in Cajun peoples. Well, the reality is this. There are two groups of people we make fun of. Louisiana's and anybody that lives in Baytown.

For those two groups, people, we're sorry. We're sorry. I'm sorry. Thank God. Pasadena's like, man, thank you. No one to worry about us anymore. Getting a free pass. Clear.

For now. For now, Pat. We ain't forgot about you pass to get down, Dina. Don't worry. And one more quick one. Yeah. I just, so last night, Jalen Green made his Phoenix Sun's debut. Yes.

And he was very good. Yeah. And Phoenix Suns are excited. The NBA world is a buzz. And I'm like, I've seen this movie before. I looked at his box score. Sure enough, he had made a bunch of threes. He's been about a 33% shooter his career.

Yep. And Jalen Green convinced me too when he was making three. So I made a meme on my Twitter account. that I posted. And you know what? That was rude to Phoenix Suns fans and to Jalen Green and all of his people. I want to apologize.

Oh, sorry. But you didn't delete it, did you? No, I haven't. No, I didn't think you were going to. People are bookmarking it, though. No, it's only got one bookmark. I feel like Suns fans going to try to come back and come back and get me,

but we'll see. Yeah, you got groups of people always coming after you for some reason. I'm getting bookmarked all the time. That's all right. That's not calling you Mr. Bookmark. I want to apologize to the room next to me because at 12 o'clock

when I wake the strippers up and they're going to be shocked in about 23 minutes or now. So early, I'm sorry to that. I'm sorry. That's a good one. Yeah. Jonathan, you've always got issues in your life. Who are you apologizing for and what?

You know, earlier this week, I was coming out to people that were giving me the spam calls. And it seems like I've gotten more of them. So I think I need to apologize. Can we guys, I'm sorry? Just can we stop giving you these hospital bills? Like, stop giving you your scam calls. Stop putting it to 790. Okay.

I'm sorry. Just please. Sorry. Rossi, I have 26 missed calls since 819 this morning. 26? 26 miss calls. Every single one of them was a spam. Spam risk.

Say sorry to me. Stop calling me. Stop calling my number. Oh, I'm sorry. What number did you put? You must have put it on a weird website. What are you talking about? Yeah.

Well, you know, here's the thing. He's been clicking some. weird links. Maybe they're getting them me back because I used to prank call them all the day and they would talk to me. I would prank them. Yeah, and then they start sharing your number. That's probably it. Yeah, it's probably your fault. They're not getting through to me. I mean, they're not winning. But I do have to delete my recents, you know, just every day or so because their recent counts like it was at 119 a few days ago, so I just get rid of all that. And the negative is that

if somebody who's trying to get a hold of me that I don't know their number that's going to write to voicemail because of the byproduct that is the special. spam calls. So for those of me, they're trying to call me that I don't have your number, I say, I'm sorry, you can't reach me right away. Sorry. I don't think I've done anything bad today or this week. I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all.

I don't know. Now, I get to meet the girl next Sunday. You do, yes. So we're going to have a little conversation about she needs to give me a direct pipeline for anything that you do that's bad in your life. I'm going to see. I don't know anything wrong this week, and then we always find out some things.

So we'll make sure the girl knows exactly how she can call 7-1-3-21-2-5-7-9-7-9-9-Bowge for you. I mean, I drive like a Houstonian. I mean, I can't apologize for every time. I mean, the next five cars do the same thing I'm doing. I'm like, you know. Worst drivers in America, by the way, are Salt Lake City, Utah. Not even close. The worst drivers in their 19-80s.

in their 1989 minivans. And I'm talking about 19-year-olds. The worst. They're driving like the rapture's coming? Yeah. Like the Angel Moranai is chasing after them. All right. So this has been a compelling segment.

We had Great Iron Eagle. Yes? Or hour you mean? Oh, we got a single person that's ready to apologize for any of their transgressions? 713-212-5-7-90. You know, J.M, Brad, need to come back. and I apologize to Matt. Yeah, because I think Jake confused me for somebody else,

and Brad was just rude. Yeah. No, you need to apologize for continuing to take Brad's calls. You know what? That's right, folks. He is on a two-week suspension. So I'm sorry for letting him infiltrate our radio show. He's on a suspension.

So for that, I say I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm pretty sad. I'm going to miss a week of that. I mean, you can put the radio app on. No, no. I want you to start the suspension when I come back because I'm missing a week free of Brad.

You know what I'm saying? I've changed suspension. It's now a three week suspension. Woo! Now, yes. He's not back until the Monday after Thanksgiving. Yes. How about that?

Oh, I think that's him though. If he wants to say sorry, can he say sorry real quick, I guess? Well, I'll let you be the judge and jury on this. Sorry real quick and he's out. Starting Monday, he's out for three weeks. Okay. Let's see how genuine Brad is with his apology if he's saying him sorry. If he's going to say he's sorry.

Sorry. If not, we can hang up on them. All right, Brad. I got a finger on the trigger here. Let's go, Brad. What do you got? I'm sorry, man. You didn't understand. I wasn't against you. I was against the radio station for just you get to be good in your profession. You want to get paid more. And they don't want to pay you. They let you go.

And that's why I brought up you and it has nothing to do with you. You're great at what you do. And I don't know if you worry about that one day that they're just going to say it. I do worry about that, Brad. Of course, I'm always worried about that. I mean, we're, you know, we're just trying to do a 20-hour show and trying to keep people entertained. And I just don't know many people pocket watching me

and worried about how I am to the bottom line. That's all I'm saying. But I will, you know what, Brad and Ross, I'm sorry. I'm going to accept his apology. It seems to me. I don't know. He's just trying to beg so we can get back on air. Brad, you're back on next week.

What? You want. You don't even care. You're gone. No, I think you should hold strong. You folded like a lawn chair. Come on, man. I folded like a 2-7-off suit, didn't I?

Terrible. No, I did fold. Because I'm trying to be nice. You know what? Sometimes some people are... But some people don't deserve it. And Brad is one of them. I am nice to everyone.

Unless I get proven wrong. People that I know. Oh, I'm sorry. Some celebrity I never heard of dies and I don't mourn and start weeping. Okay, big deal. But the people I actually... Okay, well, Coog's fans can suck it. Okay?

You know what? They should apologize to me. I wasn't called... You know what? CoogFans.com? You didn't come apologize to me. I'm debating my love for my universe. I'm a way bigger Cougar friend than you.

And they're idiots and we just don't need to pay them to them. They need apologize. I got called, what was it, a fat-ass t-shirt fan and all these radio hack and I shouldn't be on radio. I didn't know anything personal to Coox fans. So I don't have to apologize to them one lick. All I've ever said is those sorry-ass fans can't get more than 25,000 in a a building. You have an enrollment of 49k

and you can't get 25 into the building. There's like 300,000 alumni in this city. Y'all suck. Yeah, y'all do. Cougfans.com, you do suck. I don't care if you're all Cougars. You're probably aren't even, you're probably even T-shirt Cougar. All right, I'm sorry for you. I'm not for saying, sorry for what I said, but I'm sorry for you. You don't think of you. That's okay.

I'm so sorry. Yeah, exactly. On the phones next, 713212-5-790, 1144 on Sports Talk 790. All right, 7-1-3-212-5-7-9. Time for you to apologize for things you've said and done. I know all of you. You need to do this. This is cathartic. Let's talk to Paul on 7-90.

Paul, what are you apologizing for? Well, apparently, I got banned from the nightcap for the week because I question a question Ross's ability and is fluidness in speaking Spanish I've heard that Walmart commercial

and I think he's an excellent Spanish speaker and Ross for doubting your ability I am sorry All right I don't problem Pablo

Some genuine apologies Huh Can I tell you something What We've all done commercials Over the years I'm all known for him when I am on my deathbed

and they say bring up memories of Ross it will be losing the bet on the Roger Clemens it will be Oh, that was a good one Our trips to Lake Charles and whatnot But I don't know if there'll be a better memory

Of you coming into my hotel In my hospital room On my death bed and whispering I did go I mean That will get me out of my hotel Oh my hospital bed and back running marathons.

That's how powerful those messages are. So shout out to you, Walmart, for investing in our station first and investing in sports RV. The perfect endorser. When I think of Ross, I think of Walmart. I'm sorry. Thank you. Sorry about it. It's congratulatory.

Yeah, let's go. Code Express for your first free delivery. I don't know if that still works. I think it was the end. It might have ended in October. Okay. Well, come on. Ballbart. Come on, I'm back.

We're trying to see about the rehab. Dan and Crosby, what are you apologizing for? I'm apologizing for the way our TV people are treating Kevin Simpson's great program. They got these TV all over the world

again this year. As a little side boy, I want to know when Samson's radio show is going to come up. Probably in January. Thank you very much. I'm so sorry. Yeah, we got a Willie Fritz's show's got out of the way first and not go out of the way, but, you know, finish up and then it'll be his turn.

We'll get Kelvin on. Maybe sometime next week, I think it'll be a good idea. I think the Sean Miller show, I think, do we carry that? You know, I don't know. I don't know last year we were doing birth, both early on. Yeah, I just think, you know, Kelvin's busy, you know, getting all the five stars in here. He's got, you know, radio shows. Yeah, he's got a big game coming up against, uh,

Who was it? Ryder? I don't know. No, they already played Lee High. Lee High School. No. Oh, it's Towson. Towson.

This is a big matchup with Towson coming up. He's got to get ready for that. By the way, are you working on believing around if you're leaving at 1 o'clock? I'm just giving you a little heads of it. I don't have a topic. I was going to tell you, I was going to rehash some San Antonio. I was actually looking at my arc. Yeah, do a best stuff.

It's okay. I can live with that. Okay. I mean, look, we have prize orders anyway that tell us they don't listen to show except for the game. So it makes me sad a little bit. I believe both Texas and U of H play writer this year. Riter must have, like, do they send like recruitment letters to these schools? Like, hey, we'll come get our ass beat for a nice check.

Like, do they make offers? Yes, they say, hey, come to this school. We've got great academics. We're going to go on a lot of road trips. We're going to collect checks and you're going to take the beating of your life. No, I mean, like the writer Bronx, like, do they reach out to, how do they get play, How does both Texas and... Oh, there's websites.

There's a website that's a scheduling website. You can bid? Is it like on eBay? No, it's... They go to the lowest bidder? No, no, no. There's a message board that says, hey, we're a writer. We're coming to play Texas, want to play somebody in the area. And so if U.H happens to see it, they'll call them. And make us an offer. Yeah, it's usually involving five to high five figures to low six figures, depending on who it is.

Oh, you got Kansas. this North Carolina tonight? We've got Rocket Spurs. Basketball. Okay. Mike on 790, Mike, what are you apologizing for? I am going to apologize to my family because, you know, Matt, you've been talking all week about, or in the last couple weeks about how the U of H fans just can't get to the stadium, they just can't go support them, but I'm an Aggie, and my family is not going to get to go to an A&M game

in the next couple weeks for the last two home games because the get-in-price for a fan. Family of four is well over $1,000 for us for tickets and travel and everything. So sorry to my family. We're going to be watching the games from the comfort of our couches. Thanks, guys. God, $1,000 for one football game? I mean, that's actually not out of the ordinary. I mean, but, you know, Ross, who goes to a family of four going to college football anymore?

Nobody's doing that, right? Well, probably because you can't afford it. You'd like to if it were cheaper. Yeah, that's true. I mean, get in right now for A&M and Texas is, $445. Have you got your ticket yet? Yeah, my brother has season tickets, so I'm good.

Oh, you're a really good spot then. Heels, yeah. What if he says, what if he calls you and says we're going to sell him? I mean, that's up to him. They're his tickets. You wouldn't be pleased? No, I wouldn't, but it's his tickets. You'd be mad.

I'm not going to be mad. Oh, I would be. You've been dreaming of this game for years. You can finally get to see him. I'm just telling you, They're his tickets. He pays for them. He also has to make a donation for those tickets. So if he wants to make cash back on those, that's fine.

But he's not going to do that. Let's talk to, uh-oh. Look who's online for sports RV. It's only a matter of time. Here we go. Missy, the Ultimate Spurs fan. What are you sorry for? You're sorry for your team getting under an ass kick tonight?

We're going to give you guys the opportunity to tell me that you are sorry. Mm-hmm. What did we do wrong? You guys have been giving me nonstop crap for the last few years. And I kept telling you, hang in there. We're going to be good again. Just wait. Just wait.

And now Adam Clanton has jumped in on y'all's parade of bashing me and my beloved... I just want to give you guys the opportunity to tell me that you're sorry. Sorry, here's what we're going to do. Forgive me. Here's how we're going to fix this problem. Ladies and gentlemen, Missy, the Ultimate Spurs fan, is a great friend of ours. It's been that way for 15 plus years.

She's one of our top sales reps. If you have a business that needs the advertising and marketing of the Matt Thomas Show at Ross, call Missy at the office at 713212,000. Give her endless grief about her San Antonio Spurs, losing their third game in a row tonight, and then talk to her about an affordable market. marketing package that will suit you in your company's needs.

How is that, Miss? That was amazing. I love that. And I will put my full 20 years of I heart knowledge to help any and all of your listener. And just at the end say, Wemby's overrated. Just go and say that at the very, very end. No, you'll get the best rates if you say, go spurs go. All right, that's enough of you.

Thank you, dear. Go spurs, go. Go Spurs get out of here. By the way, they got their new downtown arena. Have we told you to that here? They're going to go. Oh, they pass their measure. They pass it.

5248. Ooh. A little tight, but it got done. Wins a win. Win's a win. A couple ones before we get to the top of the hour. Brandon, what are you going to apologize for? I want to apologize for my opinion

on the TV broadcast versus the play-by-play broadcast of the Rockets. Oh, sorry. You might want to You know, just look at this. But I think maybe you might be better on TV and Craig might be better at play-by-play.

What do you mean? Well, I just feel like, you have a face for television, Matt. I feel like if you were to switch with Craig, Craig goes back to doing the game on the radio play-by-play, you're on Fox Sports Southwest Former League. On the TV, you and Ross would be great on TV. Ross can get a haircut. Y'all would be amazing on television.

Sorry. I think we're okay as we are. I mean... I'm happy where I am. How about I just say that? Is that okay? Can I just say that? Yes.

Yeah, you can say that. But if you were offered that, would you take it? I'm not replacing Craig. No, no. Craig wants to retire. No, he'd be replacing you. Like, that would be... No, no.

We're doing just fine. Craig has earned his stripe. He's one of the best television broadcasters I know, and a great friend. And so the answer is no. I'm not going to, we're not flipping spots. No. No, I'll stay right where I am.

You're a loyal dude, Matt. People are trying to draw up trouble. It's just ridiculous. I'm not going to him about anything except being my friend and being a colleague. That's it. Do I have to get a haircut? Yeah, you can't put that shag on. Why not?

It's not shagg. Ristle? Okay, I mean, it's shaggy usually at work. When I go in public, I, you know, spruce it up. I'm not going to die my beard. You can look younger. That's ridiculous. I don't care.

Well, television cares. Well, Aaron, I like you shut their bum ass up. Well, that's why radio is perfect for us. Aaron, good morning to you. What are you apologizing for? Good morning. Welcome to San Antonio, Matt. I hope we have a better time this time.

All those spurs are going to whip up on yelp on yelp tonight. I want to apologize to eye heart about the, you know, about the phone thing. I don't think it was fair. But I said, Bahr, ah, BOR. Sorry.

Did he just fake the phone lines? He just fake, he did fake phone line. That was actually pretty fun. Hey, our phones are actually working today. Yeah, we're stunned. Last one before we get to the stripper wake up.

Roger on 7 out of. Hello, Roger. Hey, I just want to say, I'm sorry for not thanking you more for me. Price Hiller and most of your gyps away because that's what you're winning.

also dearly big-guided first fans with a one-trick Tommy town. You don't know if you're a cowboy fan or an Astros fan but you're a sports fan and you just severely misguided it through and through. Start about that.

There you go. Thank you, Aaron. Roger, look forward to hearing you try to win some prizes later on the day. Let's like the strippers up. You guys want to do that? Let's do that. And again, I want to apologize to whoever is in my room next to me because you're going to hear me yelling here in about uh well you probably heard me yelling earlier two minutes from now we'll be yelling

getting you ready for the last two hours the matt thomas show ross here on sports talk 790 this is the matt thomas show with ross six in h town good and welcome to our three of the matt thomas show of ross from san antonio this is sports talk 790 this i don't even want to comment yeah you don't I just want to apologize. I got a late apology. Thank you. 713, 21, 2,1, 2, 5, 7.

I don't have anything. And I mean, and anything goes Friday here on the Matt Thomas show at Ross. 12-1-9 is our time. Let's get you to the news noon. Rossi people are anxiously awaiting the Sunday noon tilt at NRG Stadium for the Texans and the Jaguars. Are they? Are they not? I was going to lead with the big matchup on Prime Video.

That's what I'm talking about. Let's go. Can Victor Wimb and Yama lose three in a row? I certainly hope so. It's the 5 and 2 Rockets versus the 5 and 2 San Antonio Spurs. Matthew, the Rockets holding as 3.5 point favorites in this one. Wimby for two straight games,

been facing a lot of double teams. Smaller players getting physical and up in his kitchen. I think you're going to see that tonight. I don't know exactly who's going to be tasked with that, whether it be, probably a mix. of Okogi and a men and who, Atari Isan, whoever. Right.

And then flying second and third defenders at him because he has shown an ability to turn the ball over, 11 turnovers in his last two games, and struggling against double teams. That'll be the next adjustment for Victor Wimbunyama. Can he do it tonight? That's sweet music right there, sports RV. That's a storyline.

By the way, Ryan Hollins will be joining me on the broadcast. Lovely. Yeah. So we'll be, uh, uh, Ryan's like, can I come sit with you and call the game? I mean, sure. I mean, he's bored. You know, the team guys lose some games because of this national stuff.

Right. He's going to come sit up and be one of the worst broadcast positions in the NBA, but that's not here nor there. I have a question. Does that affect their salary? Is it a game-by-game thing? No, he's doing it, what do they call it? Pro bono.

No, I just mean, I mean the TV guys in general. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, that sucks. So the better your team is, the more you lose out. Bingo. That's rough. What? And are you ready for this?

You know, last year, for the many, many years, you could do the first round of the playoffs, what they call side-by-side, having a national broadcast in yours. That's all gone. They did away with that? This year? Last year, I thought they did. This is the first year of the more local broadcasts for any plan. Oh, no, that's, whoo.

That's taking money out of your pockets right there. It's a sensitive subject among my TV buddies. Oh, that's rough. Very, very, very sensitive subject. for sure. Nobody wants to get hit in the pockets. No. That is rough.

All right. Elsewhere in baseball, Matt, the Japanese home run king. Munutaka Murakami is entering the posting system today. We'll start the process of one of the most anticipated free agencies of the winner, according to Jeff Passon. He has the single-season home run record for a Japanese player. and Nippon professional baseball hitting 56 in 2022. Okay. And let's narrow it down to who's going to.

The Dodgers, the Giants or the Mariners? Maybe the Padres. Certainly nobody would say east of Denver. Yeah. I mean, it feels like the Dodgers is a chalk, right? Well, yeah. I mean, don't think they just defer the payments, correct? You know what?

You better do this now before next year, the South, the alleged lockout coming up. Just throwing it out there. That's true. Apparently, top landing spots are thought of to be the Yankees. Oh, really? I mean, they've had some, they had Tiki Matsui, right? Didn't they for a long time?

They had Masahiro Tanaka. Yeah. It's funny, the Cleveland Guardians are not involved in the mix, apparently. Euston Astros, going to go ahead and tap out of that. You know, we've got the DR. It's a, it's a bidding war. Jim Crane's putting his paddle down. That's just how it goes.

Well, I mean, he'll offer him four years or five years. He'll offer him something that will never be accepted. Yes. He does do that. I don't anticipate this guy going to Kansas City. Do you? No, I don't think so. Dodgers, Mariners, Mets, Red Sox, Yankees says Yahoo Sports.

Say those teams again? Dodgers. Okay. Mariner's Mets, Red Sox. Sox, Yankees. So major metropolitan markets on both coast? Yes.

In Seattle doesn't spend, but maybe they're going to want to get over that hump. Well, it's funny because I think the only reason why Saddle is it makes it because if it's a large Asian population, right? Yes. Okay. One more quick thing, Matthew. Six former men's college basketball players at three different schools participated in betting schemes that include game manipulation or sharing

information with known betters. And they have been banned from the NCAA. Nobody we know, right? Any stars? Permanent revocation of eligibility for all six players. Said Quavius Hunter? Nope. Diquavian Short. Nope.

Jamond Vincent. Never heard of him. Donovan Sanders. Nope. Alvin Struttich. and BJ Freeman All right We wish all of you the very best in your next career

There's an Arizona State player in that mix Woll involved basketball Hey, we're going to get more of this right This is going to be like a semi-regular conversation piece I wonder I will say yes But also I didn't think it would happen to this level that it's has So I mean I was wrong on that

I thought players wouldn't be this stupid But it's not only the players are dumb It's you have guys getting into debt Like apparently Terry Rozier was at a bunch gambling debt. Like you have guys who if you have 500 people, one or two of them are going to get into gambling debt. They're going to have gambling issues or get into whatever

types of debts or have other kind of things where they're in the pockets of mafiosos. Yep. And that's all you need. Put out the curtain. And this is just my experience. I've met a lot of college athletes be hundreds of dollars like trying to bet and they lose and they're in debt and they got all this things going on trying to lose games.

I gambled more money than I should. I lost I've talked about this on air before. I think. I've lost $5,000 on a night on poker before when I was in college. Now I had 12,000 in my account, but I mean,

it's still lost 5,000. I will admit my greatest gambling loss ever. I don't think I've lost $1,400 in one night. Oh. That's light work. Come on, man.

I mean, brutally it is. And I, and that's the reason why I can enjoy it. I've lost $1,400 about 15 minutes of blackjack. Was I at witness of this?

I probably was, right? This was at the Circa. Yeah, you were around. I had to take that lonely walk to the Bank of America ATM. Actually, it wasn't lonely. My brother lost, too. We went together.

We rallied, maybe. That's the best feeling, though, Matt. Oh, the rally? Oh. I'm chasing that high. This is bad, folks. Don't gamble kids. Just stay away from our...

We don't like talking about playing Blackjack, but I would recommend you not to do it. Oh, the epic rallies are so fun, though. but when they don't happen it's not great it's not great at all by way a little bit of breaking news small

I'll give it one sounder let's give it one sounder one okay Mark Sanchez officially out at Fox oh yeah zero surprise on that oh and you know what

about one more it's not really a breaking new sounder but apparently jaden Daniels is going to try to rehab with his injury that gruesome elbow injury

without surgery that's not going to end well dislocated left elbow will not be placed on injured reserve. He's going to pull RG3. That's not going to have it. Well, it's not his throwing elbow, but I mean, you get, obviously, you get banged around in NFL games. Yes, that's exactly right. By the way, the man replacing Mark Sanchez on Fox, Drew Brees.

Yes. Who did one year, I want to say, a studio work on NBC, was widely panned. Again, maybe he's better. It was a little stiff. Game analysis is obviously different because you're, You're talking about what just happened as compared to having to be organic about a bunch of different things. Mark Sanchez, I don't know if his career is over in broadcasting, but it's certainly going to take a little bit of a detour for a while. He can call the prison football games.

All right, 12-17. We've got Dr. Rorto coming up in 40 minutes. Ross is leaving us at 1 o'clock. See you later. I think I've done pretty good for being on vacation mode all day. You've been actually pretty good, except for the time you just kind of, you went to the micro-refer. phone card and said, is that microphone not walking still? Oh, hey, come on. Have we told the...

Yeah, I'm on back on Mike 1, so we're good. Oh, we got to figure it out. All right. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-2-9-0. Hadded Ross with you on anything goes Friday. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90 if you want to join the conversation. 7-1-3-1-2-5-7-90. You know, we've been, Ross has been teasing me about

the money that Kyle Tucker's going to get in free agency and he's going to be right, probably dollar amount and length, but our bet is on the seven and a half years. Oh, we didn't go through the ESPN list. You can certainly pull it up as I discussed this.

So yesterday, the qualifying offers were given out and Framber Valdez got one from the Astros. So no surprise. I want to say, did I see John Heyman say Rossi it was 21 or 22 million dollars? 22, I think, yeah. One year 22.

And how you and I were kind of like if the market's not good, maybe Frumber takes the qualifying. Now, he's got a few days to do so. But everybody in their mother is like, oh, no, he's going to do quite well. The thing that has been most startling beyond the fact that the amount of money

that I'm seeing in link for Kyle Tucker's contract, Rossi is the fact that Framber Valdez, at least from media types, is going to have a lot to choose from here, which is surprising to me. Yeah. So the article, we talked about the baseball America. Didn't they say 7-220 or something crazy like that?

But everybody, whether it's ESPN or sporting news or athletic, they're not saying anything about reputation or how things can get little surly. They're all just like left-handed, durable, throws a lot of innings, doesn't miss starts. no thought of emotionally sometimes is a little bit of walking on eggshells, doesn't feel this position particularly well, is susceptible giving up big innings. Now again, you and I and all the Astero fans listening to us have this perspective because we see him every fifth day.

Fromber on the biggest stage, for the most part in his career, throughout this entire Astros postseason run, has been excellent. Not perfect, but excellent. So maybe the perception of him is significantly better outside of Houston than it is in. And I don't think there's any evidence that would disprove that because of what we're seeing in terms of what people think that Framber is going to get on the open market. I mean, I think that happens with players. I think Framber Valdez was taken for granted by the fan base and a lot of us in general. And yeah, he did have a bunch of blowups, especially the last couple of months of the season.

They were horrible. But, I mean, for the balance of what he has been, he has been extremely reliable, has come up huge. in playoff moments and he is highly valued. And this ESPN article is from Kylie McDaniel. Now, quick note, they do have Kyle Tucker at 11 years, $418 million. But anyways, Framber Valdez six years 168 is what they have. Framber out. That's $28 million a year.

They have him as the number two free agent on the board. It's funny, we keep going through these lists. This list is Kyle Tucker, Framber Valdez, Cody Bellinger, Alex Breggman. So three of the top four are former Astros. Recent former Astros. Now, again, we're not cutting the checks. And just because media types say it doesn't necessarily mean it's the gospel.

Every media type said Breggman was going to get like seven years, $200 million or whatever last year. And that didn't happen. No. But they're also not just throwing numbers against the wall. They're probably doing some due diligence. Now, my guess is if you're a baseball writer, Ross, and you are trying to figure it out, you're calling the agent. You're not calling a particular team saying, hey, Angels, are you interested in Framber Valdez? And if you are, what would you offer?

You know what I mean? It's going to be, those articles are going to be agent-driven more than the else. If you called Scott Boris and you said, what is Alex Breggman worth, he's going to give you an answer way more forthcoming than say what the Red Sox would think Alex Spragman is worth. So you got to kind of just read between the lines a little bit. But if there's enough people out there that are saying that Frumbert's going to get that kind of cash, I would say generally speaking, he does deserve a long-term deal.

He has been excellent for this franchise, and we have the microscope on him. But the overriding sentiment to me would be, we wish you well, thank you very much, and enjoy your new place. that you're going to call home because I don't think Astro fans would be overly thrilled with paying that kind of money for a guy

who has been at times elite and other times you just don't trust him on the mound under any circumstance. Yeah, many, many, many, many Astros fans are done with him and I understand. I mean, if you were to give him, if you were to give a grade of his career as an Astro, it's a B plus. Hmm.

That's how I would say. That's probably fair. It's not a B. because he was excellent they don't win the 2020 World Series without him pitching as well as he did but he also had a bad 21

and he was bad in his one start in 23 yeah I want to say he was bad in another year too but and then he's he is susceptible to the ball I mean look at that two-month stretch Ross he had for the Astros this year this year when he was clowning

the defense and all of a sudden he didn't win for like the month or something like that yeah he hadn't blown up it he'd blown up once in like a year and a half. And so I was defending him and saying, eh, guys overblow his blowups. And then he blew up for two months straight. Yeah.

It also shows you, again, that people in the baseball industry are rather forgiving, that they will look at the upside of a player way more than they will have the downside. And he was excellent. His last start when the season was hanging in the balance. I mean, it didn't end up mattering, but...

Right. Seven innings of one-run ball, 10 strikeouts against A's. Don't laugh. A's were good. Not you, Matt. I know. No, no, I got news for you.

If the A's ever spend money when they moved to Vegas, Rossi, we're in trouble here. Agreed. Because that's a team that we kind of thought would be an afterthought. We've always said the Angels are an afterthought. The Mariners have been up and down. The Rangers certainly have been up and down. We've never thought about the Angels being a serious contender. I mean, they may spend money on Trout and they may go after, you know, our buddy, you say Kikuchi,

but they just don't have enough. And the A's are just a team that once you have a good player, you trade them. When you have a closer who threw 104 miles an hour, what did you do? You traded him. Yes, they did. And then Nick Kurtz probably is going to find himself somewhere else. I mean, that's what I think people in Vegas are worried about is we're building the stadium for you guys, and you have no history of keeping for agents.

And is all of a sudden a 30,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas going to change that? You would figure sponsorships, but I don't know. I don't know if Vegas just isn't the financial boon that it once was. No, I mean, the young millennials and Jin Zier, they're not going to Vegas. No. Well, and again, it's corporate support. It's not necessarily about filling the 30,000 seats. It's about how many people are in the building or watching your TV games that are seeing your advertisers?

Because even if you, Ross, even if you sold 30,000 seats a game, it's $2.4 million. That's providing that everybody is in the building that's paid, which isn't the case. And then everybody, you go to every one of the games is sold out. Now, it may be that way for a year, but there are franchises in baseball, even the mids that draw 2.4. That doesn't move the needle. It's good.

It's profitable. And if you're charging $60 for a Pinacolada, I mean, that's really profitable. But Vegas is a town with booze. I mean, if you're gambling, it's free. I don't know. I'm going to be very curious, see how it turns out. It's going to be glorious once it's built,

and they're revitalizing that end of downtown, not too far from the airport. But it comes down to the A's are going to have to spend some money. And I don't think anybody that are diehard A's fans think it's going to happen. They just don't think that this is all for profit. This is just going to be a mid-level team with a new stadium and all the bells and whistles because you got it in Las Vegas as compared to getting it in Northern California. 1232 at Ross 713-212-5-790.

Ross, we have stayed away from predicting NFL games. Generally speaking, but it's time for us to declare who's going to win Sunday's game between the Texans and the Tennessee Titans. Let's go. I'm ready. Not Titans. The Jacksonville Jaguars. I was thinking ahead. 713-212-5-790. If you want to chime in on the conversation at 7-13-2-12-7-90. Dr. Roto's coming up in about 25 minutes. Roto's coming up in about 22 minutes or down. Do you want to have any...

You're going to call him for a Roto segment and you're on your way to the airport? Your team sucks. We have so many injuries and buys. We don't even have any start-sick questions. It's like we got to dance with who's available. So you've given up. I'm not giving up. There's no wiggle room.

Everybody's out of buy or hurt. Mm-hmm. I don't have a starter sit question. I just got to put the slap in who's available. And I'm doing well in two other leagues. So shut your bum ass up. This is why you play more than one league. Just Venmo me at SportsMT.

I'm not going to venmo you. You haven't won anything, and you've never won the league, and you're not going to win again. Just Venmo me, Biatch. Let's go. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. All right, time for us to make predictions. You want to go first or do me to go first?

Texans, Jaguars. You go first. It would be so easy to say 13 to 10, right? That's probably about right. I'll say this. Vegas doesn't get everything right. They do pretty good job, generally speaking. They do a really good job on their over-unders.

It feels like this year. There was a low total in last night's Denver Raiders game, and that certainly fit. There was a low total in the Broncos Texans game last Sunday, and that certainly fit. I'm going to say Texans' defense has a big, bigger impact on the game than anything Davis Mills does. I will go 2113 Texans, Texans with the points when the game, the under has got to be less than 30.

We've got to be less than 40, right? It's 37 and a half. It's the lowest on the board. I'll take the Texans in the under. Texans win 2113 in a game that will be far memorable and will have thousands of empty seats in the building. It's going to be an ugly game, which is what the Texans are going to. Even if C.J. Stroud were available. They've been in a bunch of ugly games.

Now it's Davis Mills season. They're going to play it close to the vest. D'emico Ryan already does establish the run and let's win with the defense. They're going to do it this game. It's going to be low, low scoring. It's going to be ugly. Brian Thomas is out for the Jaguars. Jacoby Myers just gotten there.

I don't know how many snaps he's even going to be able to play. It's going to be the run. It's going to be about stopping the run game. I'm literally going to go. This is sad. 13 to 9 Texans. So five field goals and a touchdown Sunday, 12 noon.

Yes. I know. It's not fun. You've got to find the beauty and the defensive stops, Matt. Find the beauty in chasing down and sniffing out screens and blowing up blocks and two of the best pass rushers on the planet and Will Anderson and DeNeil Hunter. Well, you know, it's funny.

I don't think I've ever given a national broadcaster like, like Iron Eagle advice, but I thought I was doing pretty good by telling him that you should get his prep work in on the two punters for the game. That's true. So you know what we ought to do? We ought to do a grandiose prediction on who punts the ball more. Logan Cook. Ooh.

How about that? That'd be a good bet. More punt yards? I'm going to do yards or punt yards? Or better average? Hmm. I'm going to go with whoever the punter is for the. Jaguars.

Logan Cook. You know, Logan. Good friend of the show. Sure, why not? We could have, believe it or not, on all things, Logan Cook. Now we're good. He played college football at Mississippi State. Seventh overall pick in 2018.

He's been a Jaguar in his entire NFL life. Oh, my God, poor kid. Been doing a lot of punting. Didn't make the Pro Bowl last year, of course. But he didn't play in the game because he was hurt because he was kicking the ball so much. Yeah. His leg was, um,

puffing up. His stretch out hamstring. Okay, so let's write these down, Rossi. Let's go with, send them to him to John, I think it's going to be going to be gone next week. Let's go with Logan Puntsmore. Okay. What was your final score? 2113.

Who's winning? Texans. Three touchdowns for the Texans? One defensive. one defensive and two offensive One special teams, one defensive and one offensive. Logan Cook is his name. C-O-O-K-E. Logan

Cook. It's also the holder for the Jaguars, too. Any relation to Sam? Nope. I mean, I could be. Yeah, Logan Cook, Punchmore. Oh, I got one for you. Who kicks the longest field goal in the game runs? Look, you know what the hell we're doing?

Listen to us, Houston. We are doing special team prop bets. Well, this, I'm going to say Matthew Wright probably doesn't have much of a leg if he's been on the street and with like four teams this year. So I'm going to say longest kick is going to be by, I don't even know who they're, who's their kicker these days? Cam Little. Sure, why not?

Oh, yeah. Cam Little's hitting 70-yarders. Cam Little kicks the longest field goal of the game. That's a huge heavy thing. That's like a minus 500. Yeah. So why does Cam not call himself? Cameron Little and why does Matt

was his name Matt right? Why does he call himself Matthew? I don't know. Why are you going by... Why do you keep doing this? I don't know. I'm just curious how the... Everybody has their preferences. I mean, you never... Why don't you go by Matthew? Yeah, that's a good question. You can call Matthew if you want to. I call you Matthew? Matthew, when you're getting when I'm like... Yeah, I'm getting

admonished. All right, Matthew. You hear that, Jonathan? You always... You always want, yeah. He always goes to the full name when I'm when I've said... What's the full name of Ross? What's the full name of Ross? Ross? My first name is Paul. He's lying, right? No, that's really his name. Are you serious?

Yeah, why not? I've been on this show for how long I just don't know this. I've said it before. You just don't listen to me. No, that's a lot. That's fine. You check out a lot. It's okay.

Okay. So we got Paul and Matt. Why don't what to do? The only time you check out is when you're eating. Yeah, that's true. Okay, that's fair. We're doing school work. Texting your girl.

Yeah. I miss you. I miss you. Nah. Can't wait to see you. That's right. I'll tell my girl not to text me there. She got to work.

She needs to some kids. Okay, she's a teacher. She's in the middle of the lesson texting you. If she's texting you during the show, that means she's not doing her job. Exactly, so I told us not doing that. There you go. Good for you.

1245 on anything goes Friday. 713-212-5-7-90. Rockets and Spurs tonight. College football, A&M against Missouri. Are we going to have a watch party for that? I think Big City Wings, one of the locations is going to have a Missouri watch party, if I'm not mistaken on that.

It's a big one. And, oh, by the way, our beloved Cougars are taking on the UCF tonight. Oh, that's right. Primetime Friday night football, baby. Let's go. Yikes. Are you guys the lead-in to Toledo versus Miami of Ohio?

No, there's actually a college basketball game on FS1 before us. Well, you're on FS1? Yeah. Oh. Because it's the number one game, duh. Hmm. Oh, let me tell you. Your options were...

What's on Fox? The Glutton Bowl of 27? No, you know what's on Fox? Northwestern USC. Oh. So I'm saying I'd rather put Houston versus UCF on. That's a much more. Hold on.

I'm trying to find. I got to get out of the top 25 tab to find you guys the game. Oh, Coopers have flipped to favorites in this one. As they well should. So you know what the precursor is, is Georgetown Maryland. So we're getting a great lead-in because you want to put on the best mega double header you can. Georgetown Maryland basketball, followed by Houston, Central Florida. Which, by the way, Fox is still using around.

Rock for college basketball, correct? They shouldn't be. I saw awful announcing post that they are. That's not right. NBC, it's NBC. It's exclusive? Can they both have the rights to a song? John Tesh is getting the check from two to people? He's like, go ahead, I'll double dip it.

I and Eagles got zero issue with that, Amazon slash CBS. Yep. I don't double, actually, I do double. Yes, you do double dip. I'm a hard and the rockets. I'm the double dippers. Yeah, it's all Mr. on location right now. That's right. I do double-dip.

All right. 1246. It's a Matt Thomas show with Ross. Come on and join us. 713-212-5-7-90. But you don't. You rat. Other than that, all as well.

All right, Ross. Since you're going to be gone next week, let's go ahead and knock out a few things we can pre-record. Okay. So let's do this, Jonathan. Bookmark this. So then next week we can play these when we're looking for the Daily Ross's. commentary. Are ready, Ross?

Yes. Here we go. Number one, Texans beat the Jaguars. Are you ready? Five, four, three, two, one. Important win for the Texans. I mean, really gutting it out. Davis Mills, I mean, it's not like he was spectacular, but he did enough to get them the win. Now hopefully you can get C.J. Stroud, cleared through concussion protocol. Extremely winnable game coming up against the Titans. And you really want to have this one because coming up after that, you're taking the bills on at home, then you've got to go on the road to face the Colston Chiefs. I mean, this is about as tough as it's going to get. So a very important game against the Titans. Try to square the record up at five apiece, and then somehow some way win at least one, maybe two of the next three, and then you've got to close the season strong.

Texans lose the Jaguars in five, four, three, two, one. I mean, this just hurts. You rather would have had C.J. Stroud. Trevor Lawrence was just mid. The defense was really good, but this defense, this offense just hasn't have enough. You just don't have enough. The offensive line, not good.

Running game still hasn't been there. And then you're going to Davis Mills. Now you're three and six. And you look at the schedule coming up with the Bill's Colton and Chiefs coming up. They're not making the playoffs. And at the end of the day, Nick Casario was right. We weren't happy about the trade deadline, didn't make enough moves. And we're sitting here saying, all right, whatever.

Go back to the drawing board for next year where Nick Casario. is going to have a lot of picks. Rockets beat both the Spurs and the Bucks this weekend. I'm telling you, folks, this offense continues to be special. Now the defense

has rounded into form. Your top 10 in both. I think they're going to finish as one of the top five offenses with Kevin Durant commanding double teams. Alper and Shingoon as well. They're going to continue to grow and get better. Dorian Finney Smith coming back. This is a team that is going to be as dangerous as they come

in the Western Conference, and Houston needs to wake up. You need to get those butts in seats. You need to be paying attention. This is some great Rockets basketball that we're watching right now. A&M loses at Missouri this weekend. Oh, well, you know, they were on upset alert. Missouri's been pretty good, and Coach Drinkwitz and the guys, they had a pretty good game plan, and now Aggie's still going to be in the playoff mix.

But with this game coming up this week against Georgia and Texas, that's a big one. and then down the line, could A&M's playoff lives and Texas's playoff life be on the line in Austin, Texas? The day after Thanksgiving should be a great matchup. Last one here. By the way, you're killing it. Thank you. This just came in moments ago. Okay.

Stefan Diggs, a paternity test, has confirmed that Stefan Diggs is the father of an IG model, Eileen Lepera's baby girl. He's also expecting a child with girlfriend rapper Cardi B. He now has four kids on the way with four different women. Wait, is this real? This is real. Yes. He's got four buns in the oven?

In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. All right, Stefan Dix. I don't know if it's a HMO or a PPO or whatever you got via the NFL, but you need a referral to a urologist. It's time to get snipped. Two more I thought of. Okay. Roo-Roo TV and Disney are still fighting.

in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. It always comes down to money in sports, and we talk about championship success and the pageantry and the will to win and the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, and it's just about money. And I know it's about money, but when these leagues and these networks are fighting

and they just throw it in our face, it devalues their product. So they got to figure something out. These billionaire CEOs got to stop fighting, and they have to figure this out because both ends are losing right now. All right. One last one. And by the, this is actually fun.

We should do this more often when you, either one of us takes time off. Rapid fire with Ross. Well, we should, when I take a day, we should do the same thing. Okay. Last one. The government shutdown has canceled more flights over the next handful of days. Five, four, three, two, one.

The system is broken beyond repair. It is only going to get worse. Just enjoy time with your loved ones and try to make things as comfortable as possible before the inevitable end. Oh, we're not ending on that one. No, one more. The Houston Toros win again, and they are now nine and two on the season. We're on to 2026.

All right, Rossi. Have a safe trip to California. Thank you. Would you give us a text? Will you tweet us an update on TSA when you get to Hobby? You let us know what's going on. It says eight minutes right now. Okay.

So we actually have time to go home, get your bags packed, and get you something to eat. Yeah, I mean, I'm 95% packed. I just got to go through my checklist one last time. I'm bringing some camping stuff. Are you going to Joshua Tree? Not sure yet, actually. Joshua Tree's in play. Yosemite's in play.

Big Sur is in play. Big Sur, not Big Ben, Big Sur, yeah. Yeah, we'll see. Okay, that's Ross. I'm going to go get in nature and relax. Be safe, man. Thank you. Be safe.

No bears. Go bears. Go Mountain Lions. This is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. puzzles for life first round turned out to be a big fool i don't know with roto give me the news i really fastest 30 minutes of major market radio we spend that time with dr roto here on sports talk 790 dr roto let's get right to it we've got some really good football teams i e the denver broncos record wise that have lousy fantasy stars beyond anybody wearing denver gear who also be concerned about

that plays for a good team that doesn't give us numbers in our fantasy football ball league. That's a really good question. I think Darnel Mooney, for example, right? You're like, oh, yeah, he's going to be, the Pennix is going to find him. Pennix doesn't find him. Trying to look at other teams here.

The bills, Kian Coleman, yeah, Josh Allen, this guy's a great second year player. Hasn't done anything, right? So sometimes you want to be looking at teams that have concentrated touches, like where are they going exactly? Like, you want to be able to predict that. If it's too spread out, it becomes,

a nightmare. The Broncos, I mean, that game was a nightmare, but in itself, but you've got Angram, you've got Sutton, you've got Franklin, you've got Harvey, you've got Dobbins, good luck figuring out week-to-week where it's going to go. So you really want as concentrated lineups as you can find. All right, let's get to the Sunday slate. The Colts, they rare step back just their second one. Do they go to Berlin and fix things against Atlanta this Sunday morning? I think they do. I think, look, last week was, it was kind of predictable. I think we talked about that. It was always going to be a pretty close game. Why? Because you're talking about a team who everybody thought couldn't lose and a team that everybody thought couldn't

win. Well, it's the NFL, so it all changes. Here, I think the Colts play a much better game. The Falcons, their defense is good. It's fast. It's not big, right? And I think the Colts are going to impose their line. I think they're going to run the ball real well. I think that the Falcons have some problems in the back end here. Falcons aren't a bad team. They're much better, but the Colts, I think Daniel Jones throws for about 220 in a touchdown. Taylor goes back for another one to two touchdowns and 100 yards. I really like Michael Pittman Jr. as well.

Are we back on all the Ravens now that Lamar Jackson's under center? We are back on the Ravens. Okay, so firstly, we love Lamar. I mean, you get him into all your lineups. We like Derek Henry a lot. I don't know if he's the greatest start, but I think

60, 70 yards and a touchdown feels right. Minnesota plays a lot of zone defense. I think Zay Flowers is in play. Take a if you're desperate, and you might be, the Bengals are out, the Cowboys are out, the Chiefs are out, that's a lot of firepower. Rashad Bateman, there's worse guys out there to take a shot on for a touchdown. I think he could be in play.

All right, the Panthers are sneaky. I mean ridiculously sneaky at 5 and 4. Rico Donald had a big week last week. I know he's been splitting time. I didn't use him last week. Got hurt. Now he's questionable for the game coming up. Are we okay with using either one of those panther running backs against Saints this Sunday?

I think Rico plays. I think you start him. I mean, M.T. If he's playing, you start him for sure. Against the Saints. We're looking at, I don't know, 20 to 25 touches, 85 to 95 yards and touchdown. I mean, look, the Saints just, they got rid of Shaheed. They got rid of an offensive lineman. They're done. I mean, the defense will try a little bit. But the Panthers are well-coached. They are a well-coached team that doesn't beat itself. McMillan has been terrific. They love Rico Dowdell, who is better than Chuba Hubbard for that offense. So Rico Dado is playable and McNeillan's playable. I was going to ask you, big picture with all the trade deadline moves.

Anybody raise a fantasy flag in terms of, oh, I like him in a new spot that should help, whether it's a skill position player or maybe somebody getting some better work, maybe a defense gets better? Is there anything that you saw from the deadline that made you go, okay, this guy, fantasy, for a fantasy perspective, is now in play? Well, look, I think Rashid Shaheed is in play. Maybe not this week, but in general. I mean, what was Seattle missing? They're missing a downfield threat. So he's certainly in play. I think, look, the Jets got worse on defense. So you're going to want to start every team against them, like Quinshan Judkins is a great start this week. But the Jets will be better in a couple of years with all those draft picks. Look, A.D. Mitchell is also in a good spot. The guy was buried on the bench in Indianapolis. Now in New York, he's their number two receiver. So, I mean, take a look at a guy like that. Jack Bess did nothing for the Raiders. That's kind of a mess.

I think what happened in Jacksonville actually hurts the Amy Brown. It hurts Parker, Washington, because Jacoby Myers are going to go in there, and he's going to get some touches right away. Rodo, we know the commanders at 3 and 6 have been hurt by the second year and the injuries with Daniels, and he's obviously out this week. Are we losing much on my fantasy perspective, or are they just a byproduct of just not having a good enough defense? And again, they're going to score a bunch of points

that they're going to try to beat the Lions this Sunday. And they're not going to score a bunch of points, right? It's, it's a mess. This game has mess written all over it. Marcus Marriota is in trouble. Devo Samuel maybe is their best look. You can't really run on the Lions, so Bill Kroski merits not a terrific start. Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols.

It's just bad. I mean, really, it's bad. And, you know, look, the Lions are going to come in. The Lions did not run the ball very well last week. I think they're going to try to run the ball this week. I think Gibbs has a much better week. I think Montgomery has a good week. Amal Ross St. Brown is in a great spot. He was good last week. He'll be good again this week.

I mean, the commanders are just overwhelmed here, so this could be a mess. Seahawks are going full-time to Jacoby Brissette. Obviously put up some decent numbers against the Cowboys this past weekend. Can they do it on back-to-back road games going to Seattle this Sunday? Said no Cardinal fan ever, right? Jacoby Brissette is better. He is. I mean, I've told you about Kyle Moore in the past. The guy just runs too much. takes too many sacks, and the arm angle has a lot to do with it.

So, for example, when Michael Pennix throws a football, it takes his receiver's time to see the spin because he's a lefty. Well, Kyle is stolen from a different arm angle than Jacoby Percette. Kyle's like 510. Jacobi Percette's 6'5. So guys like McBride, they're seeing the ball better. I think McBride is an outstanding start this week. Marvin Harrison, I don't like him as a start this week, but I think he's been playing better

with Jacoby Brissette there because Jacoby Brissette's not afraid to take chances down the field, which Kyler Murray is. I think the Cardinals are a week away from getting Trey Benson back, so you're going to have that demarcato, you're going to have Bam Knight, maybe demarcato's in play, considering that the Seahawks fled up a lot of passes

to guys out of the backfield, but Bressett's absolutely in play, and Trey McBride's a great start. All right, I teased we had Ion Eagle on the show earlier today. He's going to call the Texans Jaguars, and I said, you've got to get your punter notes ready, because this feels like to me the punters are back in play.

Do you see anything sexy from a fantasy perspective in the Jaguars Houston game Sunday at Energy Stadium? Look, if Davis Mills can find Nico Collins, that would be great. I mean, you have a number one receiver there. I'm not even going to talk about the Christian Kirk, a revenge narrative, because there's just not enough going on here. I don't like Woody Marks, really. I don't really like Nick Chubb. I think you're looking at Schultz. I think you're looking at Nico.

I think so long as Jacksonville, the pass rush, you know, doesn't really get in his face. If Mills has a little time, those two guys could spike up a little bit. On the other side, look, Texans defense has been terrific. I don't think there's a great week for EPN. We don't even know if Brian Thomas is expected to play. Jacoby Myers is in a new place. Who knows how long that's going to take? And by the way, Trevor Lawrence is not good.

Let's just call it what it is. Kyle Lomari is not good. I'm telling you Trevor Lawrence is not good. He's not very accurate. So Jacoby Myers is not going to really love playing for this guy. So I think this game feels a lot like last week a defensive mess. The Texans Marketing Department would like to hear from you, Dr. Roto, because you've just poo-poohed the entire game for three hours.

That's fine. You know what? All you do is speak honestly, and that's what we love you for. Enjoy your Texans football. You're getting that game in Fort Myers. I already saw that, so I've enjoyed that too. Knock that out. I can't wait.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Roto is going to answer your questions right now, So if you want to get your questions ready, let's go. Every man has a business space for your dream. 3212-790. 7-1-3-2-2-5-790. If you've got a question for the good doctor, we will take them in just a matter of moments. Again, 7-1-3-2-2-5-7-90. Let's go to the phones and talk to Keso for Dr. Roto.

Koso, what's your question, please? All right, guys. I have a two-part question, and I don't want to get. you confused. So the first one is I want you to grade this trade, Dr. Roto. And please keep in mind that I have Lamar Jackson and Chuba as my RV2. So I sent out Dart, Addison, and Bam Knight. I received David Montgomery and Loveland. That's my first part. I'd like to hear what your thoughts are. Yeah, and it's good trade. I mean, look, if you have, if you could trade Dart and you can get Loveland who's on a tick and Montgomery, it's solid.

Okay, perfect. And then I just need a flex option. Two needs to play. Downs, Johnston, or Loveland? Thanks. Yeah, I think I'm playing Quentin Johnston, for sure. This week, Pittsburgh plays a lot of man coverage, and Johnson needs that up. Downs is interesting. I mean, can we trust Colston, Loveland, against the Giants? Probably, I'm going to lean downs, but it's close. All right. 713212-1-2-5-7-90. Robert for Dr. Roto on 7-90. Robert, good afternoon. Hi, good afternoon, fellows. I have two questions.

One for my tight-aid. Am I starting Sam Leporter this week, or am I starting Tyler Warren? And for my kicker, am I starting Carrie O'S Santos or Jake Elliott? Who was the first one with Loporta? Who was the other choice?

He hung up. I did not hear the answer. I think it's Tyler Warren. I could be. if it is, the Falcons are really good against opposing tight ends, but I mean, Warren is, you know, you don't bench him ever, so I think I'm going with him. Look, kickers, dude, this is the, no offense, I hate kicker questions. It is so random. Here's what you do. You try to find a kicker on a good team, especially in a dome, find a guy that can get you like three touchdowns and a field goal. Hopefully you get yourself six or seven points. If you get yourself on a guy on the team like, let's say the Jets and the Jets don't score, you get zero.

If it just fall behind by 14, you get zero. So you want kickers on good teams. Please tell me you are still pro-kicker in fantasy football. Please tell me this. I mean, I'm not, but I play in leagues that half of them have. Here's what the leagues do. They call them team kickers. So basically, whoever the kicker is, you get that team's kicker

because you don't want to draft a guy and then it gets hurt, then you're picking up guys. It's a pain in the butt, NT. All right. 713, 2, 1-2-5-7. And a couple lines are open. and if you want to get in your questions, you can do so. 713, 2, 112, 5, 790.

Sean on email says, who do I sit? Tess Johnson, Garrett Wilson, Romeo Dobbs, or Alec Pierce? So, look, you're playing Garrett Wilson, surprisingly. If he plays, you play them. They play a lot of man coverage, and Justin the field's going to find him. I like Dobbs, too. I think Dobbs is in a decent spot. Chris Godwin's not going to play.

I think Tess Johnson is in place. play, Alec Pierce had his moment last week. I don't think this is another Alec Pierce week, so I'll bench him. Don't look at last week's numbers and expect this week's numbers. It won't happen. All right. Pedro, Tess Johnson, McMillan, or the Monagai's? I'm mispronouncing his name, I'm sure. No, no, no, Monongai is possible. The problem is this. They literally said this today. They're going to go with a hot hand. Great. You know, that made out like a hole in the head, right if dionre swift is doing well what are they going to do not play mona guy it's a tough one i just read literally during the break tess mcmillan has a hamstring injury he's questionable so i will say this

if mcmillan plays you play him if you don't i think i would go with tess johnson because with the monong guy swift thing unless one of those guys is out you're looking at 10 touches it's not enough all right so you you piqued my interest on garratt wilson um i now kean Allen's my extra receiver, so it's not great, but why are we going to Wilson just because the Jets don't give a damn anymore? No, no, no. So look, it's like boxing or MMA. Styles make fights, right?

So Cleveland, you can't run on Cleveland. You can throw in Cleveland. What does Cleveland play? Man coverage. Who is one of the best man coverage beaters in the NFL? Garrett Wilson. If you were ever going to play him, M.T., this is a week to do it. I would play Wilson over Keenan Allen 10 times out of 10.

All right. If this go, I'm going to move here. him in and move out to Keenan Allen. If it works, you're going to be, we're going to retire your jersey number. I don't know there's such a thing as a fantasy football retirement jersey, but you're going to get it. All right, anything else in terms of any sneaky

late Saturday pickups that could make a difference this week? Yeah, so look, if McMillan is out, you want to hedge with Jalen Coker. Jalen Coker was out for the first four weeks. He got injured in preseason, but he's pretty darn good.

He's better than Legette. I'll tell you that right now. So I would hedge on Coker just in case on that one. Also, Ramandre Stevenson, out. Trevion Henderson, if you have him, he's way more interesting today than he was yesterday. So, you know, and once again with the buck, they let up a lot of short passes. That's right in the range of Trevionn Henderson. So those are guys on the watch list right now. All right.

Let's get before we get to your lock of the week. We'll talk to Sam on 790. Sam, what's your question for Dr. Roto? Yes, sir. I had a question about which receivers start, either Stefan Diggs or Kaleel Shakir this week. Yeah, we're going to go with Diggs. So Tampa, tough defense to run against, you're going to throw. Also, Bouté, I don't expect him to play.

I think he's been ruled out as well. Kyle Williams is a rookie. So they're going to throw to Diggs. They're going to throw to Pop Douglas. They're going to throw to Hunter Henry. Diggs is our number one guy. I think Diggs are great start this week. All right, ladies gentlemen, we ask Dr. Roto once a week to give us the knockdown

drag out 100% guaranteed winner for your fantasy football team. We present to you, Dr. Roto's, lock of the week. Roto, where are we going? For you, J-S-N, Jackson-Smith Jigba, against the zone coverage. He's the best in the league. What is Arizona play? Zone defense, not good. Seattle's been on a heater this year.

They look great. They're going home. He could have 80 yards in a touchdown by halftime. I think he has $120 for the game. Lock him in. That is Dr. Roto's. Lock of the week. Roto, where can we find you between now and Sunday early morning because of that game in Ireland?

No, it's an Ireland or where it's the game? No, it's not in Ireland. It's in Ireland. It's in Berlin. That's right. Thank you very much. All right. So you could always find me at Dr.rotto.com.

Into the promo code, win. We'll get you 10% off. Our yearly package or our monthly package. I'm on Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio every Saturday morning from 6 to 9 a.m. Central. And of course, you can find me over at Twitter at DRROTO. And Dr. Roto is great on Twitter for a follow for information and it also responds to your tweets. So very good job there. Rodel, thank you very much for the time.

As always, always the fastest 30 minutes of Major Market Radio. We'll do this again next Friday. Thank you. Good luck, M.T. Take care. All right, friend. That's Dr. Roto with us here on Sports Talk 790. All right. I have got two non-Floralor stories

because I'm going to compensate for Ross not being here. I'm going to tell you that one's a little darker than the other one. Okay. I can see how can see where this is going? Yeah, you're right. Now, Jonathan, how many stories do you have?

You have one or two. I have one, and I'm iffy about this other one, but I might switch it up. I might have two. All right, we got non-flora stories coming up next, and then we got, believe it or not today, or hell, or not, It's the best of Helly or not.

It's about all things San Antonio. That's where I am for the Rockets and the Spurs tonight. Again, if you're going to try to watch the game, it is on Amazon Prime Video. We had Ion Eagle with us earlier today, and that was an awesome conversation. If you don't have Amazon, please listen to me in the radio call tonight. We'll be on at 6 o'clock with the network pregame show, 530 for the launch pad. And Ryan Hounds, who is not working TV tonight, is going to come hang out with me on the radio side. So we should have a good time.

Rockets and Spurs again with a 6, about a 6, 4. 42 tip from here in the Alamo City. Not Florida story, straight ahead. 128 here on Sports Talk, 790. We find interesting stories that occur outside the state of Florida and share them with the people of Hugh. It's time for non. All right, here we go.

I'll go with the PG story first, Jonathan, before I get to the one that's probably a little more uncomfortable. Is that fair to do? That's fair. Good news. All right. We do it every Friday here on the program. Unless we play the Fantasy 5, and here's how it works.

We find stories outside the state of Florida that we think are interesting to you. Most people like to do the wacky Florida stories. What's going on in Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg. No, we go with something different. We go anywhere else in this country except there. So I will start with today's story, and we'll talk about a gentleman. Let me sure I get this right here. This is a gentleman who's a former Air Force employee from Bahaar, India.

Okay. Okay. He is a 74-year-old resident of the Conchee Village in the Ghanjah District, and there was a funeral in which he attended. I don't know if you knew that or not, but I'm here to tell you. Well, it was his funeral. Huh? Except when the funeral procession started,

he rose from his casket he was never dead he was alive he staged his own funeral and he said to the people there

who will come to see me after my death and he wanted to see who showed up so thus he staged his funeral to ensure that this initiative reaches many people as possible he devised a plan where he spread news of his own death and organized

a funeral procession through the entire village with a statue of himself placed on the buyer hundreds of villagers took part in this fake funeral many shed tears some offered garlands of flowers many villagers appeared distressed by his death

however when this guy mohanalai appeared alive and smiling after some time everyone was astonished. Monolai said, I just wanted to see who would come after my death and the crowd that gathered today, I understood that people really love me.

The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, and many have praised Monolai's initiative, some support of his unique idea, while others called it crazily but emotional. If you stage your own death to see who's going to show up, shut your bum ass up, man. That's got to be... That is terrible.

Then how are they going to feel when he actually dies? I feel like that's... Oh, man. Now, Kirby Enthusiasm did an episode with that. And it turned to be very funny because he was hoarding... What do you call it? The hang cleanse sanitizer. Albert Brooks staged his own death too.

And people came to that. And that was a pretty funny episode. But here is the thing that is part B of this story. Due to this event, the village has received permanent facilities for cremation. Because what you don't want to do is send a live man to his death in the cremation facilities. Right. So now there is a suitable place for cremation in any season without any difficulty. I think that is absolutely horrific that a 74-year-old retired Air Force veteran from India would stage his own debt to see who would change.

show up. Someone's got to help on. Now, if you're a vain like that, then throw your own birthday party. But don't stage your own death, right? That's, someone's got to give them a hug. Someone's got to check on him. Somebody's going to check on it. So that's my first non-floor story from India.

That 74-year-old Air Force veteran said, you know what? I want to see who loves me. So I'm going to stage my own death. That's my non-floor story, number one. You are next. All right. Next, mine is nowhere near, mine's a little corky, I guess. This is headed into Spain.

The New York Post reported that there was a group of thieves, six men and a woman. Apparently they were arrested for the crime of stealing chairs, more than 1,100 chairs. This group of people will go undercover in the darkness at late at night and will go to outdoor seating areas for several different restaurants. restaurants and bars throughout Madrid and take them and then resell them in Morocco and Romania. The estimated price of these and the profit they had got was 60,000 euros or $79,000 around here in the U.S.D. And they're selling chairs? They're selling chairs and made a profit of $7,000. So say you were next to Big City Wings and next morning.

You know, owners there. All the chairs from outside are gone. Why are people taking chairs from randau places? They made it $70,000. I mean, and they went to 18 different restaurants, it says, right here. Now, if you want to, if Big City Wings wants to sell my Matt Thomas booth at the Kingwood location, that could be worth $5,000, $6,000. I get that. You know, my girl was just asking, because we went to a different restaurant, and she was like, where is his booth at?

I was like, how do you do know about that? Yeah, I'm sorry. Big City Wings, King of the Matt Thomas booth. It is a magical place to enjoy. A fantastic wings, great burgers, great drinks, and, of course, my sign. All right. Jonathan. All right, here we go.

Here we go. I'm going to preface this by saying this is an uncomfortable story. It's not grotesque, but it's uncomfortable. I'm going to tell you about a gentleman by the name of Petala Moulin. All right? John, that he's 51 years old. Okay. He lives in Bangkok, Thailand.

He was arrested as he conducted a delicate procedure in the backseat of his vintage Toyota Corolla. Procedure? Mm-hmm. Okay. Mullen allegedly offered genital enhancement treatments to men in that region, in spite of the fact he's not licensed to perform. such services. Mullen

promoted his business on TikTok offering penis enlargement circumcision and wait for it. Pearl implantations.

Let me look that up. Is that like enlarged? What? Okay, you know what penis enlargement is? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what circumcision is. Oh, oh my.

Adding it. Yeah. He says he learned how to do these surgeries by watching social media videos. Quote, I became interested in this line of work, so I studied and developed it as a side hustle to supplement my income. Authorities found no sterilizing equipment in the makeshift. operating theater, but they did find local anesthetics, surgical blades, needles, and other equipment. Moulin was charged with practicing medicine without registration and authorization, which could land him in prison for three years.

So, Jonathan, the question I have for you is, would you consider penis enlargement in the back of somebody's vehicle or circumcision or the apparently much anticipated and very popular pearl implantations. I get it. I get it.

This sounds like a horror movie. Like, and people are willingly doing this. This is crazy. No, I'm not. I would think I'm getting kidnapped. To sell it off the black market or something. And why would anybody

think in a million years that a TOTA Carolla would be a good spot for this to happen. This is going to be your most insane story I've heard so far. Oh, I've got some doozies. This is crazy. So I'll throw the question out there. Have any of you had procedures involving your genitalia performed in the back of a vintage Tota Carolla?

713-21-5-790. The whole pearl thing is making me feel really odd. That gave me chills. I'm not going to lie. Yikes. And that was my... my non-flora story for the day. My two non-floor story. Do you have anything else?

I got this quick one. This is in Thailand as well. This is a district of Fantong. A victim, she was doing laundry, and I guess she was doing outside the air dry. And she had a complaint that her undergarments were just disappearing. So after a couple of days, on October 29th, She started installing cameras and then, you know, did her no more laundry.

And come to find out there was three men just coming and taking trophies. And police has not caught them. And she is now afraid that she is getting stuck. I got news for you, Jonathan. If you ever live in a college drone before, the answer is of course, yes, right? Yeah. This happens in college dorms all the time. Really?

Yes. At North Texas, people in my dorm, the girls who live in my dorm, were losing their underwear all the time. Well, that's Dittin. Dennis, Denton is a weird... Hey, don't you bag on Dennis. It's good for my one year there. Mean Green's got some stories over there.

And the Mean Green does have some stories, that's for sure. All right. So that, my friends, is this week's edition of the non-floor stories. Pearl Implantations. That sounds... And he didn't have any drugs on him, though. He didn't have any, like... No, he had local aesthetics.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Like that's gonna make me... Yeah, I mean, I guess a little bit better, but I mean... A little bit. Eish. All right. Let's play Hellier or not. We'll do that next.

713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-21-5-7-90. We are playing today for tickets to see Sting, tickets for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and tickets are perhaps a T-shirt from our friends here at Sports Talk 790. If you would like to play, 7-1-3-212-5-7-90, 7-1-3-2-1-7-90. Shout out to Lubbock.

That will be hosted. game day tomorrow. BYU against Texas Tech. Let's see. Boy, ESPN PR department. Yikes. Catch ESPN's college game day live from Lubbock for a top 10 matchup.

Pat Mahomes will be the guest picker. As we continue to work on reaching a fair resolution with Booboob TV so they can restore our networks, this week's college game day will be available once again to all fans in the ESPN app with no subscription or authentication needed. fans can also watch all three hours on X for the ESPN app tune in here

look I haven't always been the biggest fan of Marek Mimi but they at least get these things resolved pretty quickly oh boo boo TV you're good you guys are screwed Disney's losing five million dollars a day people are getting mad this whole cut in the court thing was kind of cute for a while until you lost your channels so there you have it tomorrow game day with Pat Mahomes the guest picker it'll be in Lubbock Oh, by the way, speaking of the Lubbock,

George Strait's going to have a concert there in April next year. Oh, okay. My wife loves George Strait. I like him, but she loves him. The problem is this late April, and hopefully he can be busy with the Rockets. I don't have time to run in the Lubbock. But these stadium shows are killing it.

And you know what? Credit that George, he's picking these college venues that can put like 50, 60, 70,000 people. Hell, he had 100,000 for the game in the concert like Kyle Field. 100,000. I know he'll probably, my guess is he'll probably have 60,000 strong in Lubbock because you can use the fieldest, you know, for seats and floor seats. You're right, you're right.

What's the biggest concert you've ever seen in your entire life in terms of crowd? You know, I've only been to, the first two concerts I was being employed here and got free tickets. So they're all like in the House of Blues, like very small concerts. Oh, small venues. My two biggest. I think I saw the Rolling Stones at the Astrodome. There were like 50,000 people there. And then I saw Billy Joel and Paul McClure.

carney they both had 40,000 at minute May now, Diken Park, so yeah, the reality is if you're, if you're those superheroes and you're playing in these big venues, you're not, if you're Billy Joel, you're not booking Dike and Park and expecting 16,000 to show up, you're looking for 40 plus.

So, yeah. Sold out almost, right? It kind of goes to the territory. Five minutes left to go on the show. What should we do? We should play America's fastest growing sports radio game show we simply call it B, believe it or not and here's how it works your call 713 212 790 7 1 3212 5790
