The Matt Thomas Show with Ross - Bun B on Deandre Hopkins Trade - I'm Social Distancing Myself From Team

Episode Date: March 16, 2020

Bun B has some strong words for Bill O'Brien and the Houston Texans, and we all agree with Bun that this is the worst trade in Houston Texans history

Matt Thomas continues on Sports Talk 7-9th. Your Rockets, your Astros, your voice. One day you're here, baby. If you need me, man, it ain't nothing but drama. Everyone want a home. Uh, I can hardly hear you. Yeah, I'm on. Okay, there you are.

Oh, you're just backed up a little bit. Oh. So why are we playing Bun B here? Well, Bun B is weighed in. You want to text them, try to get him on? Let's call Bun. You got Bunn's number? Let's call him.

Hold on. My Twitter is going so fast that I can't find his tweet now. Yeah, here's Bunby's tweet. Until further notice, due to recent trade news concerning DeAndre Hopkins, the Houston Texans fans have decided to self-quarantine for the next NFL season until the Bob virus has been eradicated from the stadium. He is a virus. He is a virus.

And I don't mean to make light of coronavirus. Of course. But we're a sports talk show. We're going to make a lot of some things. By the way, we're going to hold off our Godfather review till tomorrow because this is just... Oh, this is funny because just an hour ago, Bunby put on Instagram as well, in response to the report that DeAndor Hopkins and Gutradi, he says, could they, of course they could.

Would they absolutely not? What would they gain? Texans don't play these kind of games. Yikes. 1252 Sports Talk 790, the Matt Thomas show. Hi, Bun. Hi, Bun. I'm mad.

What the hell is going on? I don't understand this at all, man. I really don't understand this at all. The only reasoning behind this has to be some kind of personal conflict between DeAndre and somebody in the organization. Yep. Because it can't be based off of football performance and production. That is absolutely right. Okay.

And you know what? Sometimes players and coaches don't get along, Bun. So you know what you do? when you have a guy under contract for three more years and he is at the top of his game, you go get as much as you possibly can for him. You don't do it for two nickels. And that's exactly what the Texans got in return. This is not only a bad trade because he's the best at his business,

but it's a bad trade in what they're getting in return. They're getting bupkis, nothing, squat, zilch, zero. We don't even have a number. How did you trade away your number one receiver when you don't even have a number two? Or three or four. Kenny Stills even pissed about this. Everybody's mad about this. I mean, if we could have a public, you know, rally to talk about how bad we hate Bill O'Brien, the general manager.

We could, but we can't. Social distancing, Matt. We got a social distance this thing. Oh, I'm definitely socially distancing myself for 15. Like, how far do you... For David Johnson. Like, really? Fourth round pick and a six-round pick.

Really? That's it. And they're given another drive picking them. That's it. This happened based on emotion because this is a good business. No, this is... This is a good football business. This happened to be...

This had to happen based off of emotion. This is grumpy Bill O'Brien getting sideways with somebody, either my way or you're out. Just like it was with Deidavion Clowny, and just like it's been with other players around these. parts for the last handful of years. And you know what they do? The Texans get rid of really good players and get squat in return.

Squat. Your head coach is your general manager. This is when you give any power to. Bill O'Brien shouldn't be the coach of this team, much less a general manager. He should be in charge of janitorial services. Because there's a lot of crap. We agree on that. I mean, my God.

It really, it makes, like I said, it makes no business sense. It makes no football sense. So it has to be personal. Point blank period. Personal. Bun, I don't want you writing songs to them. I don't want you making it. Because we can't, we can't let this go on.

We cannot. Because you know what? You got us call Cal. I don't know if you got his number. Call him and say, what are you doing? Why did you give him the keys of the kingdom? I don't get it, man. I really don't get it.

And for a lot of use in Texas fans, this is a strontic broken account back. Like, seriously. Like, it makes absolutely no sense. There's no reasoning behind this kind of a decision. Except you got sideways with the coach. Well, I'll let you go on that. I was going to say I'm going to go drink out after the show,

but I can't, so you can't go anywhere. I'm just going to go home and drink. Oh, I was going to take first drinks on me. Maybe I'll door-dash you a bottle or something. Oh, door-dashing bottles. Door-dashing bottles. I guess that's a post-made thing, right? Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Whatever. I'll take whatever you send me. Thank you, friend. I'll talk to you soon. All right, Bunby with us. Everybody's trying to pick up the pieces on this, Matt. Trying to figure it out. Here's a Ross and I did during the break.

We said, okay, let's take a step back. Yes. Let's logically think about, is there any way there's fair return market value coming back here? And we've sliced it, we've diced it, we've covered it like a hash brown at Waffle House. There is nothing fair about this at all. Arizona completely fleece the Texans. Completely fleeced him. We're going to try to get a hold of somebody in Arizona next hour.

Maybe maybe David Johnson's a Biden man. No, he won't come on. Dave doesn't do radio. He's very busy. He's very busy. He's not doing anything right now. No, he's literally doing nothing, but he'll always figure away to be busy.

That's the voice of the Cardinals. Damn. Good luck. Good luck going to those player shows and crap like that. If you want to do that, that's you. It's, it's, it's, it's non-defendable. Indefensible.

Or indefensible. Either way. It's indefensible what just happened with the use and stuff. Yeah, I can. I don't know.
