Much larger than life. Yeah. Lunch timers is the Matt Thomas show. 12-0-3 at H-town. What's happening in lunch timers? Good afternoon to you, and welcome to a Monday edition of the Matt Thomas show

alongside Sports RV at ProNiclo. I'm SportsMT. Very nice to have you with us. Hope you enjoyed your Super Sunday, which included a rocket's impressive victory over the New Orleans Pelicans and the first Houston signs of Zion Williamson. I'll tell you what's Ross, when he loses some weight and starts getting in a better NBA condition,

he's damn good. I want him to gain weight. You mean to be like a fat time or what? Beaving bigger. Some muscle. He needs muscle. He's got a lot of muscle. He's got a lot of muscle.

He's got a lunch lady arms right now. No, he doesn't. It's not lean. He's built like a defensive end. He's pretty muscular, I think. But he's got a gut. My guess he doesn't take a shirt off in front of the public that awful. You don't think so?

When I used to have a gun, I didn't do that. Okay. Hey, we are with you today. We got a lot to get to. Oh, so much to get to. I mean, seriously, we are the, and look, we don't need to get through a complete recap of the Super Bowl. You guys watch the game. You don't want to do play by play?

I don't need to go through. Remember that play on second and I when Andy Reid decided to do this? That isn't the issue. The issue is in the history of the Matt Thomas show, which is going part of now on the 11th year. Oh, what? Well, I had partners in the 90s. Yeah, the sports nuts doesn't count.

That's true. MT and the Coes doesn't count. But I've been on the, I've been on the air for four decades. MT and the Coes? That's what you came up with? Yeah. That's a horrible name. Okay.

It is what it is. I in the history of my life have never entered the studio doing a radio show. and it says gratuitous booty shaking at halftime show. Hmm. We're going to get right to that? Well, I think it only seems to be appropriate that we open the show with gratuity, booty shaken, and halftime show. Now, are we more concerned about Shakira's booty? Are we more concerned about J-Lo's booty? Or both booties?

All the booty shaking. Can we get some appropriate music for either one of these fine people? Should we get some Shakira? I'm not a fan of either one per se. Hips don't lie. You're not a fan of Shakira? It's okay. I'm a huge fan of Shakira. It's okay.

We're talking about her music or her person? Okay. Now that's not my music per se. It wasn't a horrible halftime. I think it's the easy narrative for everybody just hate every halftime. Full halftime show, NFL YouTube. All right. Go ahead, Matt.

I'm going to be gone for the next 15 minutes. Okay, we're done. Let's find out what Aisha wants to talk about on the West Side. Aisha, you have a comment about a gratuitous booty-shaken at halftime show. Well, as a lady, I wanted to get your opinion, a guy's opinion, about all that gratuitous booty-shaken that took place at the halftime show, because I get it. Women want to be sexy, but then on the flip side,

a lot of us would complain that we are being, I don't know, taking advantage of exploited when there was so much booty shaking going on. You felt like you were being exploited because of the booty shaking? I absolutely not. Okay. Not me because I don't go around shaking my booty all the time in front of millions and millions of people. Okay. So, I mean, I'm going to ask you a simple question.

I, again, I, look, I watch all sorts of television. I've seen way worse things on over-the-air television and cable and movies and Netflix and HBO. There's very few things in my life, Aisha, that I find offensive. So I may not be the perfect person to ask, but the problem I have is that Shakira and JLo have been going on concert tours for decades. They have been two of the most successful singer dance group acts out there.

What they did yesterday was nothing out of their ordinary. and they sell to millions and millions and millions of people. So why did yesterday all of a sudden become an issue for some women that thought that maybe they were doing too much, as you would say, booty shaking? Well, just because there was, you know, an excessive amount of it, and there was so many families and so many kids, I don't have a problem with it. It's just that it seemed like it was gratuitous and there was quite a bit of it. But the other thing about it is, you know, on the flip side, you have all of these women, myself including who really want to be respected and want to be thought of in a positive life. But, you know, our boobs are hanging out. Our podonka donks are hanging out and being shook in front of everybody. But see, that doesn't make me, well, because we're grown-ass men here.

That doesn't make me disrespect either one of those girls because they're in provocative outfit. Fitz. I don't think I'm, I don't think less of women because there are strip clubs in America. I don't think less of women because there aren't. I appreciate you saying that. Yeah, I mean, I don't think, I don't think less of women because there's adult films out there. I mean, that's just such a small segment of the population. Well, I'm glad you say that because for Hollywood in the music industry, you know, everyone is complaining about how they're taking advantage of when they're shaking their

booties in front of everybody. Hmm. Who's, who's complaining? well every one of the the me-to set of women that have complained that they're not being taken seriously or they have been exploited or they've been taken advantage of well if you're shaking your booty like that um i don't know maybe i'm gonna tell you iisha you and i've never met and i you sound like a very reasonable woman who's successful i don't know if you're married have family whatever the case may be but trust me when i tell you i do not think of the women in my life and the people i associate with based on whether or not Shakira and Jalo are shaking their booty. So I want you to relax and not worry about it. It was a halftime act. It was about, what, 15, 20 minutes,

and it's not going to change what people, America, men, and women think about other women. I'm glad to hear you say that. Thank you. Have a great day. Appreciate you listening. And how about Jalo's stripper pole skills for a 50-year-old? They were impressive. That's just athleticism.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think a lot of women, I mean, a lot of women can do the stripper pole thing. I don't know where I'm going with this. Okay, you know what? You're on segment suspension. That didn't take long. That was quick. I don't need to get into that.

So how about that game, Ross? It was good. So the halftime show was great. Put your computer down right now. What? Because you're not, you're just sitting there looking at the booty shaking. That's not true. I'm looking at the Super Bowl box score, breaking it down.

That's not true. Turn your computer around right this second. Travis Kelsey, six catches for 43 hours. Oh, you are looking at that. By the way, I didn't really, where is Travis Kelsey from? If I'm thinking who he sounds like, he sounds like a country hick, excuse my French. A bumpkin, if you will. He's got a little bit of an accent.

All he does is catch passes. He's from Westlake, Ohio. Do we have any Travis Kelsey sound? Because I swear I heard him yesterday. I went to Cincinnati. He went to Cleveland Heights, Ohio high school. Yeah. All right, we got a lot to get to on the show today.

I'm not going to mess around. We got some highlights to play. He's really good. He's going to go the whole thing. And the Texans can't ever stop him, ever. Well, no. Name the last tight end that Texans have ever stopped. Tyler Eifert, well, he got hurt, so that doesn't count.

Yeah, don't even bother. Don't even bother. We have Super Bowl to recap. We have how close are the Texans to the Chiefs now that they are the kings of the world? You know, hashtag Chief's Kingdom? Should it be Chiefs' Chiefdom? No. We're not going to reinvent something that they've been talking about for 50 years.

Well, King rules of kingdom. The chief rules a chiefdom. A chief doesn't rule a kingdom. You want to put it on Twitter, see how far you go. An emperor has an empire. Empire has his clothes. Okay, an emperor has an empire. A king has a kingdom.

A chief has a chiefdom. So why is it chief's kingdom? 713-212-5-790. Wouldn't a chief have a tribe? Or a chiefdom? It's 2020. Just it is what it is. Just stay with Chief's kingdom.

It's dumb. Be happy with it. They won their first Super Bowl in 50. years. You can't be the cheap. Around these parts. Imagine being Chiefs fan for 50 years.

Can you be the king of a chiefdom? All right. J.J. Watt. Please tell me you all watch at least some of Saturday live on Saturday or some of the clips.

I haven't recorded. I haven't watched any. There are two or three legitimately funny, really, really funny segments on there. There's only one segment that I thought was just not very funny.

It was towards the end, which most of the B material is anywhere towards the end of the show. We'll go to that. The Rockets win yesterday over New Orleans. We saw Zion Williamson for the first time, and there are lots of trade rumors about Clint Capella going elsewhere. A lot to get to today. If you'd like to join us, 713, 212, 5, 790. We're talking about the game. We're talking about maybe a little bit about the commercials, although that doesn't do much for me. But S&L with Mr.

Watt, the Rockets, and whether or not you were offended by Shakira and Jalo shaking their big booty. Not big booty, just regular booty. Regular size, but just really nice, average size. That came across weird. 1214, it is the Matt Thomas show on Sports Talk 790. Lunch timers. Lunch timers. This is the Matt Thomas show.

All right, Ross, before I continue on this radio show, we call the Matt Thomas show. I would like for you to tell the audience all the things that I've gotten wrong of the last couple of years. This is, by the way, hold on. Hello, friends. Hello. I would have to bring up my Nostra Rongus file that I have on my... It's your friend Nostra Thomas here. Nostra Rongus. Hey, man, it's been a while.

It's February the 3rd, and Friday we did a Super Bowl preview show. And go ahead, sports. Let's see, off the top of my head, I mean, first of all, you have the U of H Cougars going undefeated every single year. You had Peyton Manning as a dolphin, and I believe a Washington Redskin. You said George Springer coming into last season was going to get it a... an extension by the end of the season. That didn't happen. Let's see what I.

We're good. The list is lengthy. Well, friends, you've chosen sports talk 790 for a reason. My friend, my compatriot, my noble steed doesn't believe in my predictions. Because usually they're flat wrong. The big city wings pick of the year. We had to basically shelve the entire segment because your picks were so bad. But I will tell you this.

My good friend. at Helmut in the Bush, aka Chris Farrar, and I came up with something a little ditty on January 31st, two days before the Super Bowl. Rossi, I got Kansas City one in this one, 31 to 20. I think it's a cover, and what's the over under on the, is it fluctuated much since the start of the Super Bowl? 54. Am I under?

I'm going to go under. Am I? 31, 20 Kansas City beating San Francisco. what you think really yep 31 20 good game but not incredible I don't think I don't think Kansas City puts up 31 on this defense well they scored 21 in the fourth they weren't going to you're welcome my friends I had 23 that was a 41 billion star selection no well you didn't say that score and the result and I also told you it would be a good

not incredible game and it was a good not incredible game I had 23 to 29ers which was in play for a while there. That fourth quarter got a little out of hand. In my case, it's a blind squirrel finding a nut once. Oh, well, yeah, I know that. Or the clock being right twice a day. But I got it right on the nose. You're a lot of good talk, Nick.

You're no longer in segment suspension. Please honor me the way I should be honest. Great job, Matt. You were very lucky. No, I'm not lucky. I was right. You're smart enough. You're good enough. And dug on it. People like you. I was analytical. I broke the game down.

I've gotten the fill room. I turned the lights off. I studied. I looked at it. and gave you 31 to 20. So did Chris, Helmut in the Bush on Twitter. So the two of us, the only people in America, that had it at 31 to 20.

Probably somebody else did. But good job, Matt. I think 3120 is good. Okay. So, first of all, I didn't dislike either one of the teams. It's hard. Like when New England plays,

guys, you have to root against them because they're just mean. And they cheat. And they're not nice people. And Bill Belichick's an SOB. And Tom Brady's hair doesn't ever move. And they've been there a lot.

So it's easy to root against them. It would be easy to root against the Dallas Cowboys. Well, though they don't go to the Super Bowl, so what I'm talking about? It'd be easy to root against the Raiders. But you can't hate the Chiefs. Can't hate the 49ers. Although, could you imagine being a Bay Area sports fan

and your warriors won all these championships, you lose one, all your players either leave or get hurt, And then the next great horse that comes into the city is the San Francisco Four Niners. It would have been very hard not to hate the Niners because that would have been another Bay Area sports team winning a championship. Plus, Andy Reid's the best reason to support the Kansas City Chiefs. I wanted to see him get a Super Bowl. Absolutely.

And Pat Mahomes, my son goes to Texas Tech. He's got, as you would probably guess by now, he's got several Pat Mahomes jerseys from Texas Tech. They're just both of them. But Kansas City is really especially easy to root for. Would you make of the MVP pick of Pat Mahomes? It should have gone to the running back, frankly. Damien Williams, I think so, too. Yeah, Damien Williams absolutely deserved it,

especially with that touchdown running the late to seal it. I mean, I get it going to Patrick Mahomes as well. I could have seen Tyree Kill. I mean, he had nine catches for 100 yards. Didn't score a touchdown. Yeah. I think anybody that scores a touchdown should be in the conversation, frankly. All right, so grading the Super Bowl 1 to 10,

10 being the greatest Super Bowl you've ever seen. One being I fell asleep early and often. It was trending in the 5-6 category because it was lower scoring than I think people thought. I thought it was going to be low-scoring. Well, you were wrong. That's not true. It went under. By four points.

Well, that's under, pal. Oh, I'm sorry, do I take my ticket to the window? And they say, well, it only went under by four points. But it's not like it was 17-12. Well, going to the third quarter, it was 20, going to the fourth, it was 20 to 10. It was in the 50s. It was 20 to 10, going to the fourth quarter. But it ended in the 50s.

But it was going to 10, going to the fourth quarter. We don't cash checks in the third quarter, do we? No, exactly. It went under. That's when you cash a check. All right. I would put it at about a seven. I thought the fourth quarter was really, and now, Groner fans probably thought it was a minus six

because their team relied way too much on Jimmy Garapolo, right? I mean, you just can't win a Super Bowl with Jimmy at this point in his career. He had good numbers, but he wasn't like he was going to, if you were going to go mono-mono with him and Pat Mahomes, Mahomes like, I'll take that bet every day. I would say so. And I mean, Mahomes just started to make plays. And I really didn't care for exactly when in the game was it where Kyle Shanahan elected to kick a field goal where I thought it was like a fourth and two. And they were like on the 25-yard line.

Why aren't teams learning? You have to out-slug. You've got to go for sevens against the cheese. You've got to punt. You've got to go for the knockout. you're not going for the TKO. You are not going for the round-to-round decision using boxing slang. You have to go for the knockout.

That one kind of stuck out to me. Second quarter. In the second quarter at the end, when he didn't take a time out, when the chiefs, he let a whole 40 seconds run out. It was, sorry. It was like watching Bill O'Brien. Bad clock management from one side. We would expect it to come from Andy Reed.

I thought the decision-making and the clock management issues that I had with that game were both on the side of Kyle's hand. Do you know why that happens a lot, I think, is because who had the ball to start the third quarter? 49ers? I think when you have that little thing on your side, you all of a sudden become this unimaginative, uber conservative play call because you say, well, if I don't get anything here, at least we'll open up the third quarter. It's like coaches think they can guarantee they're going to score points and the opening

possession of the third. And it doesn't normally happen that way. Yeah, I thought Kyle Shanahan. Not blew it, but I disagree with both of those two years. Could have done a lot better for himself. Now, when you win a Super Bowl, does Andy Reid not get the criticism anymore of terrible clock management and whatnot, timeout? I think even better the last couple of years, right? Oh, yeah.

We're going back five or six years when he was really getting pounced by KC fans. But when you win the Super Bowl and you're a nice guy and you have this imaginative offense, and oh, by the way, you are the coach that decided that, you know what, this guy named Alex Smith is a good system quarterback. but we've got this young guy. We're going to make him a star. We're going to trade him when everybody in the NFL said, what are you doing,

trading a good system solid quarterback and Alex Smith? It was the right decision. Bold moves made by an organization by a general manager and a coach that absolutely paid off. And it's also helped that at some point the last couple of year, he gave the play calling reins to Matt Nagy and now Eric Bienimi and I think the team has been a good. fitted from it. So you're telling me a good coach has people around him that he gives responsibility to.

That he trusts. That he trusts. And if there's a huge game day game decision to be made, he's going to make it. He's the head coach. But he lets his lieutenants do the lieutenanting. Come on now, guys, don't make that a big deal today. Smart coaches know that they have people they need to trust and they can't wear all the hats. Or at least Eric Reed. I mean, Eric Reed, Andy Reid did. Eric Reed. Andy Reid did. Eric Reed's a television voice of the Miami Heat. And also a safety. Yeah. A lot of Eric Reed.

No, Andy Reed. Andy Reed. Yeah. Felt great for him. As I put on Twitter yesterday, Ross, I'd like to get to know Andy Reid. You think so? Don't you think? I think having a brew with Andy would be a good time.

I don't think that has to be brew. Maybe some fried cheese. I don't know if salads are going to be in the mix, but, you know, fried cheese. I think he mixes in a salad. He tries to. Probably just like his wife makes him or something. He likes cheeseburgers, apparently. Yeah.

Who doesn't? But he seems like there are so few people that are head coaches. Like, for instance, do you think hanging out with Nick Samin would be fun? I think he'd be terrified. Urban Meyer. I've hung out with Urban Meyer. He terrifies me. Would you hang out with Urban Meyer?

Last year in Utah. Did you guys go hit the clubs? No, we didn't like go out and drink or stuff. I'm just talking about being in similar social settings. Because he's a power hungry a hole. Interesting. Andy Reed to me, first of all, has a respect of his players. B, he's a damn innovative coach. And C, you know, there may have been a good old-fashioned long bit of just, you know, unluckiness that's been attached to his career.

I have a very unofficial and very off-the-record rumor about Andy Urban Meyer to ask you about during the break. Will we be able to ask this on the air? It would be irresponsible, journalistically. Oh, that sucks. Yeah. So only the two of us are going to know about this? Right. Not even, Nick, unless you put our microphones on during the break. Yeah, don't do that, Nick. Nick, don't listen to us. I don't ever listen to you. Clearly.

1228 on the Matt Thomas show. So here's a question I want the audience to jump in on. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-21-5-7-90. After watching the Chiefs, the new champions of the Super Bowl, and of the AFC, how far are the Texans? I mean, in all seriousness. Did you watch that game going,

if they would have held on a 24-0 or some part of that lead, this team known as the Houston, Texas would have been there on Super Sunday because they would have beaten the Tennessee Titans. Are the Texans close? How close are they? Give me your answer. Ross and I will give you our answers when we return. 713-212-5-790. Sports Talk 790, you're home for Houston Rockets basketball. Red Nation lives here. Speaking of the Rockets, Mike Dantoney saying a few minutes ago that Russell Westbrook is doubtful. for tomorrow night's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Hornets. Sorry.

Calling it a sprain. Thumb. I'm not laughing at the thumb injury. I'm just laughing. Poor Charlotte. What's wrong with them? They have sucked since forever. Since they were the Bobcats?

Well, they were the original Hornets. Then they left. Yes. And then they came back as another new team called the Bobcats. That has a horrible name, by the way. because the owner of the team at the time Bob Johnson wanted to love on himself. Could you imagine if I bought a team in town

and called the Houston Maddies? What would they be called? The Maddies. No, like what's an animal that starts with the name Matt? The Matadors? M-A-T-A-D-R. I like that, actually.

Could you imagine the logo with a big Matador with me, like holding the flag? Hmm. So the Charlotte Bobcats, the Hornet, the new version. Then they're like,

you know what? This team name sucks and we suck. Remember Kirkmore? Was it Kurt and Mark? Morrison? Who was Adam Morrison? Was the pick out of Gonzaga with that porn stash?

And he was terrible. He was bad. And then Michael Jordan bought the team and they've been terrible. At least they went back to their old logo. That's cool. So yeah, Russell Westbrook,

doubtful with a sprained thumb. Oh, we'll go out on the Rock. a little bit because I do want to talk about Clint Capella here a little bit, but we'll wait a little bit. All right. So how far are the Texans from the Chiefs right now? The Chiefs are a 10. The Texans are a 7? Okay, sevens can become tens with a little makeup. Let me hit the gym.

But here's the problem. I've told you, the Texans are never going to go to the Super Bowl with Bill O'Brien as your head coach. Okay. So in my world, they're a zero. They're a zero? Yeah. They're not a zero. If Bill O'Brien's going to hold them back, they are a zero. Okay.

You believe zero is like we should just fold up the franchise. Tell me I'm wrong. You're wrong. Is Bill O'Brien, now not literally capable, but in your mind, do you ever envision in the next three to four years, while JJ still very much, well, I wouldn't say very much, but for the most part of this prime, with Deshawn very much in his prime.

DeAndre Hopkins, very much in his prime. Do you envision, in all seriousness, no kidding aside, in the next three to four years, a Bill O'Brien team leading the Texans to a Super Bowl? No. I don't, Bill. I'm sorry. I'm definitely afraid to take line one. Why?

It's Greg Cook. Oh, I love that. Now, he already got his two hours of shine today. I love that. He's back. He's not calling in with analytics or analysis or thoughts or believe. He's coming in to probably take a shot at me because the comment says the team name for Matt's team. Uh-oh.

It's going to be the Matt Scots. I'm really leery of taking this phone call, but because he's old and is eating food out of a blunder these days, we might as well give him the opportunity to say hi. Uncle Greg, what's going on? What that hurts. It does not. But I do have to hurry because it is putting Monday after the Super Bowl. No, you're saying if you started team, the Matador, no, no, no, no, no. The instant name that comes to you is the Houston door mats.

That is all. That's the way you're doing. Uncle Greg, tell your night nurse what you said. We send our best. Thank you, friend. Oh, I know what he's trying to hit. 11. Timings everything with those things.

You know this, right? Makes it even better to mistime it. Yeah. You're great at mistiming things for sure. The door mats. I like that. I like Matador's better. No, I like dormats.

Somebody also said Tomcats for Matt Thomas. That's true. The tomboyes? Do you think I'd be that vain the name of a state, and name a team that I owned after my name? Yes. No. False.

You throw parties for yourself when you hit it milestones on Twitter. We ain't got much. We got a long time for that's coming up. Well, follow SportsMT. Yeah, if y'all want to go to Vegas, which we're going to do, I'm at 24-673. Here, let me retweet some. What was your best Super Bowl tweet in your mind?

Well, give me, how about I predicted the score right? No, I'm trying to retweet something. You didn't tweet it out. I said it on my show. How about the picture of Russell Westbrook on the earphones? That's just flat false advertising. I didn't realize we were going to the ethics card on this. All right, 7-1, 3, 2.

Yeah, don't call it names. Just come in with how close to the Texans. So I say zero until they change coaches, which is never going to happen. We're stuck for Bill and Brian until I have great kids. Not for life, no. He'll have one year where he'll have a couple years where he underperforms. When?

Okay, so he underperforms in two years, which means it gives him another year to fix those problems. So he's looking at least three. Yeah. Deshaun's just going to keep saving his ass. Do you all know, do you all notice? That for the next three years, you're going to go to those training camp outside in 100 degree temperatures.

You're going to go to the games where you're going to spend crazy amounts of, and you're not going to go to the Super Bowl. Now, frankly, you can say that about all sports teams. There may be a lot of people who are bump around town going, you know what, Matt, as long as Mike Dan, Tony and James, James Hardner with the Rockets, you're never going to the NBA Finals. Yeah, what if I want to say that? What if I want to come and say that, Matt?

So you asked me, I asked you my scale. I would say five on that because there's been, there have been no finals appearances with those two gentlemen. But at least I have the notion that I think they can do it, that Mike D'Anne is not going to preclude them. Bill O'Brien's ineffective coaching is going to preclude them from going to the Super Bowl. It shows who we chose. Okay. We're happy with who we chose. The Houston Rockets are never going to the NBA final.

with Mike Dantonia as their head coach. You're saying zero on that? Zero. Okay. I cannot say zero. Because A, I love that, man. And B, I don't believe it as much as Bill. If you were in the rank of the three,

who is never going to go to the pinnacle of their sporting event, Dusty Baker, Mike D'Antony or Bill O'Brien, which one are you putting at the tops of no chance, no way, no-how going? The Rockets. Really? Oh, more so than the Texans. You can get lucky in the playoffs. I don't think it's luck.

I don't think Kansas City was lucky. You got lucky when you're up 24-0-0. That's lucky. Holding onto it is a different thing. That's true. Titans got lucky to make the... I feel like the Titans aren't better than the Ravens, but they beat them. Yeah, because you've got to be good for one particular day.

In the NBA, you have to beat them... You have to win seven-game series. Yeah. It's hard on the NBA. Usually the better teams in those sports win. And if Golden State's been holding you from opening up that NBA finals trip, then you're screwed. And that's what the Rockets were the last seven years.

because the Warriors were better in the rockets. They weren't in 18. Dang it. God, Chris Paul's hamstring. I'm going to think about that for the probably the rest of my life. Are we? Because here's the thing. That is our 2002.

People in Sacramento probably still talking about the 2002 team. Until the Astros won the 2017 World Series, we thought about 98 a lot. I'm going to be like that with me personally. I don't know if the entire city of Houston is. Me personally, I will be, we were this close. 94 Oilers. not the 93 Oilers, the 94 Oilers. That was the better team.

That was the better team. Well, 93, that was the year they... I'm talking about the team that lost the Kansas Seed Chiefs in the Division of West. But the playoff game was in 94. Correct. That's the best oiler team ever. That was a team that ran off, what, 11-and-row? Yeah, everybody talks about the Buffalo one.

That team wasn't going to the Super Bowl. There was a wild-car team on the road, so they were not even... They were not going to the Super Bowl. But I thought... I thought the 93 team was. Losing to Joe Montana, who was 80 and 77-year-old Marcus Allen. That words. Well, they were 12 and 4, had a buy, all that.

11 straight, I want to say, at that point. Beat the Niners on Christmas Day against Steve Young. That was the team that hurt. Yeah, would they have like eight, nine pro bowlers or something like that? Oh, yeah, Childress and William Fuller. Lorenzo White, I want to say, was eight pro bowlers. Was Dwight Andre O'Neill, Sean Jones? one of those? He was.

Wow. Pro bowlers were Sean Jones, Webster Slaughter, Mike Muncheck, Ray Childress, Greg and Montgomery, Bruce Matthews, Warren Moon, Awood Jeffries. Oh, man. Two Hall of Fame linemen.

That was supposed to be the team. Okay, so here's our bit. 98 Astros. 93 Oilers. 93 did the 94 Oilers and the 2017-17 rockets. 1718. Two chances to beat Golden State, one on your home floor,

Chris Ball. Oh, for 27. And now I'm going to go drink some acid. 713-212-570. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Did you see JJ Watt on SNL? Please tell me that you did. Nope.

Why wouldn't you watch that? That was working. I got to record it. I'm going to watch it, but I haven't yet. All right, I'll catch it on YouTube, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell you the two skits that were the funniest of them all. the two if you're going to fast forward through the show

you absolutely have to watch and when I tell you what they are either can agree or disagree with me 713-213-212-5-790 7-1-2-2-790 7-1-2-5-790 it is the Matt Thomas show Hi this is former running back of Herschel worker You're listening to Matt Thomas On the Sports Talk 790 1248 on a Monday edition of the Matt Thomas show

Very nice of all of you to spend some time with us on this Monday We really appreciate it 713-212-5-790 7-1-3-212-5-790 so for those of you that did not see it I know that s-n-l is a large DVR thing because either you're out or you're just not going to watch it live or the last two decades i would have been akin to houston texon's football and mediocre disappointment tell us how you really feel i don't i haven't watched s-and-l since with the Chris Farley days, maybe. Saturday Night Live for me is little segments here and there.

To watch an entire 90-minute episode would be you're just not going to get very many laps. It's just too hard to make everybody in America laugh. Yeah, I'll just catch whatever 30 or a four-minute segment on YouTube is labeled as the funniest, and that'll be enough for me. Yeah, so that's what you typically do. If there's a funny bit of weekend update, if there's a funny skit, if there's a funny skit, because the Trump impersonation by Alec Baldwin and look again I'm as apolitical as it gets and I would think Ross is in the same spot here. If you've seen it once, you've seen it a hundred times. You really can't change the bed over and over again.

But JJ was host the show and he was almost in every one of the skits except for the very first one. He was in probably 90% of the episode after the introduction. His monologue was good. It did not involve other people on the show. You know how they sometimes they bring people up on there and they have like other cast come in. Yeah. He was all by himself the entire time.

It was a straight script. I guess, yeah, sure, like Eric Carmen. He didn't have any props. He just told a monologue. He did it. So he did like a, like a, how long was it? Probably four or five minutes. It was a stand-up.

Really? Yeah, there was no, hey, JJ, I love you when you played. Or there was no other football players. It was strange because most times they bring somebody up. Like a fellow castmate because they want to give him a crutch. He didn't need it. So he, he wouldn't deliver his lines.

Wow. He didn't flub him up. Most of the jokes were cute, you know, and there were the hearty chuckle. And there was no absolutely belly laugh kind of joke in the early going. And then he started doing the skits. The two of them that were the funniest was the spoof of Rudy.

And the second was called, the skit was called Robbie. So if you're going to watch anything, watch Robbie. And then the second one was when he went to go to E. sports to voice over his part of Madden 21. Those to me were the two funniest sketches. Robbie was the funniest, and then the EA sports part was also very funny, too.

So I would say this, and JJ Watt, who doesn't follow me on Twitter, liked my tweet, which I thought that was nice, JJ. Why didn't you come on the show? We'll brag about how great your acting skills were. S-K-I-L-L-Z, as the kids would say. Did you slide in his DMs? No, he doesn't follow me, so I can't do that. But I wouldn't slide on a professional athlete's DMs.

Why not? Try to try to ask him, get on the show? I mean, we could, but he'd have to follow me back. Yeah, that's not happening. No, he's very busy. You know, time to follow me. He's been on the show before, though. Once.

Yeah. His softball tournament is coming up, right? Maybe we'll get him back. No, the other station wouldn't allow him to be on. Oh, that's right. That's okay. I mean, you do what you need to do. So I thought, if you were to go,

grade him out, it was, I thought it was an A-minus. I really did. And it's good. I, and it's funny because Lance and I would argue about his future after football. And does J.J. Watt carry enough of a name to be in a movie? Like, if J.J. Watt was to star in a movie, could J.J. Watt's name carry enough? And Lance is like, it's going to happen. He's going to be a lead in a movie. He'll either go down the John Sina celebrity car where he's playing a bunch of dads or or he'll be the rock where he is a, you know, whatever Rock's movies are. And Lance was like, it's happening. And I'm like, I'm not so sure.

I'm still skeptical on that still. But I will tell you this. I am less skeptical than I was when Lance and I had the argument, not the argument, the debate, because he pulled it off. Who is the, who is an elite athlete that also was, I mean, you've mentioned some guys. Yeah. I mean, the rock played for Miami Hurricanes, but he wasn't a, he wasn't a professional. And a high level profession where that was acting as a part of it.

Well, there have been lots of actors, lots of athletes that have turned to actors. Yeah, but which ones to the level of success of JJ what is and was? I mean, LeBron was in that movie with what's her name? Oh, yeah, with the blog. But I mean, he was a bit part. The only, the one that comes to mind right off the top in terms of being a spectacular athlete who became a really very pretty famous actor. Oge? Yeah?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is... He's a multiple-time Mr. Universe. I think that counts. But we're talking about football, basketball, baseball, golf, that kind of thing. Mr. Universe is huge, Matt. No, it's not. What about the Rock?

There's so much... We were talking, you're not listening. Oh, yeah, I wasn't listening to you again. Stunner. Wrestling doesn't count because you have to be... I don't count that either. And he was... Yeah.

Wrestling doesn't count because it's... not a real sport scripted. It's sports entertainment. Right. And I'm entertained by it. That's good. What about Jim Brown? Wouldn't consider him an actor.

Shaq had a little run there. Shaq was in some movies. Shazam. We're talking about super, not just pedestrian athletes. We're talking about OJ's Hall of Famer. Same with you all about what he did in his afterlife. Would you consider the naked gun movies that he have a big enough role in those movies to be consider a legitimate actor.

Hmm. What about the reverse actors that are also athletes, like Paul Newman? If you count racing as a sport. We're not talking about that. No, we were talking about where JJ Watts going to go. Are you listening to another show? Yeah. I feel like you're in a different station.

Listen to Sunny. It's really good. I'm sure. Pumping out the jams. So there's the latest Maroon 5 on there right now? Yeah, exactly. Anybody else coming? right to mind? I mean it. I mean elite level athlete. Elite. I mean like like JJ Y.

Yeah. Like JJ Watt's on the path becoming a Hall of Fame defense event. He is. Has he reached it? Probably not. But is he on the way there? Sure. How about this? Was he as good as Peyton Manning? I wanted to ask you. I don't know. Peyton Manning doing that United Way commercial is still making me laugh to this day. That is one of the all-time greats. But Peyton Manning doesn't has not taken into the next level. Peyton Manning doesn't want me an actor I didn't feel like. I think Peyton Manning wants an own an NFL team. He's doing that Peyton's Places show on ESPN. But I feel like JJ wants to take over for roles that the Rock and John Cena can't get

or don't want. Does that make sense to you? Mm-hmm. Like he's going to be in the expendables five. He wants to be an yeah, he wants to be an action hero. And again, you know how you can tell when you watch SNL if the guys are reading out the cards? he very well could have because there's so many lines of memorized but I thought he was pretty organic really way more than I thought he was going to be okay we'll see what our buddy Bun B has to say about this

Bun B first of all good afternoon friend what do we what do we got who is the greatest athlete I mean really awesome athlete that became a decent actor wow Alex Karris is he in the Hall of Fame if you're four-type pro bowler I don't know if he's yeah that's not a bad call on your part Of course, you and I, we love ourselves in Webster.

He is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is in a Hall of Fame. Yeah, and he did movies too, if I'm not mistaken. Oh, yes. I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Alex Carris, great calling your part. Anything else?

What else you got? All right, I got a question for you. The very first call we took today on the show was a woman that called the radio show. Her name was Aisha. And she thought there was too much booty shaking during halftime yesterday in the game. Did you think there was too much booty shaking? I'm probably the wrong person to ask for that. I mean, I'm a rapper, so it's never enough booty shaking, I guess.

But, I mean, it could have been, I mean, you know what you're looking for. Like, you know Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are doing a halftime show. So if you're wondering if it's going to be appropriate or not, it's best to just not watch the halftime show. That's right. You already know Jaylo's going to turn around and do her booty shake thing. That's what she kind of does and all her performances. She cares no for her hips and all of that stuff.

So if you think it's going to be questionable, you probably should just watch the puppy bowl or something. That's right. And they didn't do anything yesterday. They haven't done in concerts that thousands of women haven't gone to in the past. The performance is part for the... Hey, tell the missus. I said hello. We'll talk to you all soon.

Oh, I bet she's got a few opinions on it. Yeah. She wouldn't want me to have one. Oh, no. Matter of fact, I even forgot you called. See you later. By me calling it. Love that. Love that Bun just calls the show.

I love what, yeah, I love when the rain is. My favorite part is you can't appreciate the magnitude of how big time Bun B is. I do know the magnitude. I'm just mad at him because we were supposed to go see Straightout Compton together and he forgot about me. Well, that's fine. Is it going to be straight out of Compton two? We should go. What's the number two going to be?

I don't know. Maybe make some stuff up. Dr. Dre reinvents himself and gets Eminem and 50 cent on Aftermath Entertainment. I'm game. You have any clue of anything I was just talking about? Not a word. Not a word. 1259.

Second hour of the Matt Thomas show starts next. Is the Matt Thomas show. 104 on the Matt Thomas show the day after the Super Bowl. I have asked a simple question. How close to the Texans? Ross says seven. I say zero as long as Bill O'Brien. Does anybody else but Bill O'Brien?

Zero is not fair. Okay, you want it realistically? There are five. Okay. So they're eight and eight. No, I'm saying record-wise. I'm saying if you were to say, if there is a bar to reach, the bar is the Super Bowl, the Texans get halfway there.

I think if you go to the AFC championship, you're at about a seven or an eight. To get to the Super Bowl is probably a nine to win it as a 10. I got him at a five. Realistic. But it just made the divisional round. Where's that? You're to win the division round to get to a six or seven. Wild card's like a three.

Making the playoffs. Wild cards are three? Yeah. What are the dolphins? I'm making my own rules up here. I'm trying to figure it out. I'm there you're rules. I'm talking about the postseason championships.

For instance, most teams are zero. Okay. The lions are zero. The dolphins are zero. The buccaneers are zero. teams that you just don't think I have any chance to go to the Super Bowl so frankly I'm putting the Texans at 5

is probably generous I'm just trying to calibrate the scale I like you know calibration is fine okay it's not going to be what you want to hear okay you can argue that about the Astros you can argue about the Rockets I'm just we're just talking about the day after the Super Bowl the great unknown is

you know will the will the rockets be able to because it's really the only team that scares me and I was frightened of the Warriors for good reason. They were the most dominant team in the last decade. Fair to say, right? Do the Lakers have that in them to be that dominant team?

Because the Rockets have beaten everybody else. Now, granted, regular season games don't in the, mean, a hill of being. You've got to beat somebody four to seven. Clippers haven't, I mean, they've been... But the Clippers have some really, really bad losses this year, just like the Rockets do. That's why, in my opinion, Ross,

the West is such a crapshoot because no one can put their resume out there and say, Look at us. Where Golden State did, Ross. Golden State gave you 60 wins and didn't even sweat a bead. You know what I'm saying? Well, I mean, Kauai's been missing games and then Paul George missed a lot. I don't know how consistently he's been playing since he came back, but he hadn't been playing a ton of minutes.

Denver doesn't scare me. And they're still in the two. All those things that I just said about the Clippers, they're still in the two-seat. Yeah. Dallas doesn't scare me. The only team that legitimately I have fright for because of the fact that came into this building a few weeks ago and something called Javelle McGee and Dwight Howard ate Clint Capella's lunch a lot.

They didn't even have Anthony Davis. No, I am. I mean, they look like all the parts together look like the team to beat in the Western Conference. I agree, and I'll put, I think Clippers are number two. Okay. By the way, Clint Capella is being sought after in trade conversations. We'll get to those phone calls in a matter of seconds.

I do want you to hear what Woj has to say, because, Ross, when Woj speaks, we have to listen, right? Of course. Here's Woj on the Rocket Shopping Clint. like to do is turn Clint Capella into draft assets that they can use to then go out and get one of the wings that are available in the marketplace. Certainly Robert Covington is a focus in their trade talks to the Ford in Minnesota, but they hope that they could get back a Ford and maybe a serviceable center who could eat up some minutes in the middle for them.

So does that mean it's not about this season? They're not making a move. I mean, they sit pretty far down in the Western Conference, but they're playing a long game here? No, no. They're absolutely playing the short game there. They need that wing player. If you're going to compete with the Clippers, Kauai Leonard, Paul George, the Lakers defending their wings, they want to add at that position. Okay.

Thank you, Hannah, and Woj. Do you think Woj was boring him? That's why somebody put some butt music on the background? And they do that on every, is that ESPN or whatever? Yeah, they do that for every time. People start talking and then all of a sudden music comes on. I think it's because we all have short attention spans in 2020. We can't listen to somebody speak without a highlight package with music under it.

You're absolutely correct. It's like this show. If I was to give you a nice, deep, deep analysis and commentary about something, Nick, I don't know, or I'll just start playing some music. Yeah, they're probably not the show. Rock and Roll or ABA or something, some classic rock or country Western. I mean, I'm here to tell you as a responsible radio host that I can bring analysis on the Rockets, the Astro situation, the NFL season, and there's

no doubt in my mind that I could go 5, 10, 15 minutes without giving you some great analysis of what's going to happen in the sports world. I tried to match ESPN's terrible choice. You did well. Yeah, this sounds like some crap they'd put under

a highlight package. It's actually frankly rude. Go ahead, Matt. The chiefs are the best in the NFL. Pat Mahomes. style ball a deep down the field where Tyree Kielb catches Danny finds Travis Kelsey and scores and scores

All right we're done with this If we should do if like If like one of us is given a really long take that she needs to speed up Just put the music on it like our not an orchestra but like this Like our good friend Gerard We love Gerard. Giraud brings a lot of stuff at the table when he talks Rockets with us but he goes a little longer.

Matter of fact, y'all should do this on the, on the Rockets wrap. It's more of a formal setting, Matt. That's true. All right, enough of this. We get it. We get it.

We're bored, Nick. Or boring. Okay, good. Let's go to the phones. Carl, Northwest Houston on the Matt Thomas show. Hi, Carl. Hey, guys.

I always enjoy your show. Thank you. I had a comment about J.J. Watt in Saturday Night Live. And then if you'd indulge me, I've got a personal jailer story. Oh, really? We like personal day-low stories. Okay, so regarding JJ, I thought he did an admirable job. Don't give his day job singing to sing or anything, but I thought all the skits were like,

you know, he did a good job for, you know, what the skits were. But all of them were, as expected, these little runty Saturday Night Live actors or comedians, you know, doing shlong jokes. half the time, you know. So, you know, it's all in all, it was, it was, he did what he did very well considering what the material was. But, uh, then regarding J-Lo, um, when the halftime came on yesterday, my wife told me just turn that stuff off. I'm not watching that witch. And the personal story is that back in, uh, season 13 with American Idol when J-Lo was the judge, uh, our daughter got like one of those golden,

it's in Austin to go to Hollywood Week. And so American Idol, what they do is they play this little game where they take the ones that are the ones that they like and they do these little pretend drive-around. And so she drives around, we drive around with one of their producers and the camera crew in the car, pretending like we're trying to find the site, even though it was really stupid because she went to college at UT. And so when we're in the car, they ask her, what do you think about J-Lo, Tori? And Tori goes, well, you know, she opened her big mouth and said, well, you know, we have something in common. And it goes, well, what's that?

It goes, well, we both had big butt. And I said, Tor, what do you do? And then apparently that got back to J-Lo because when she went out to Hollywood to do the Hollywood Week, one of the producers said, Oh, yeah, you're the girl that said J-Lo had a big butt. And then she got canned the first round out in L.A. So my wife kind of blames J-Lo for that happening because we met her in Austin, and she's just a very self-centered, you know, great talent, you know,

and all that. But, you know, that's our personal J-Lo story. Well, thank you for that. Thank you for that. And so basically she's a diva. And she is a diva. They're all divas, right? When you're making, when you're that famous, you're going to be a diva.

Do you think Alex Rodriguez and. Thanks, Carl. Jay-Lo are just normal every day, shake your hand, what's going on, how are things kind of people? Hell no. I got a lot of questions about that relationship. That one or the one with a caller? A. Rod and J-Lo. Give us one.

You know what? Give us one question. No, I can't. Again, this is for the internet-only show. Yeah, exactly. I got internet only. I feel like our internet only show is so much better than a regular show. I feel like there's some depraved stuff going on in there.

But anyways. Oh. And see, folks, he can't pay off on the tease on that. Has it involved PEDs? All right. Enough. Just you, yeah. No.

Well, of sorts. Internet only show 3 o'clock today on Sports Talk 790. 113-1-3-212-5-790. Those of you on hold will get to you. Also, should the rockets really kick the tires on moving Clint Capella? Is this a situation where the rockets are trying to get under the salary cap? Or does Clint Capella max out? And you need some wing players.

If you're going to beat teams, they're going to shoot the three ball, at least, if not better than you are. 113, the Matt Thomas Show, Sports Talk 790. Load up on those napkins, straws, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard. Oh, and don't forget duck sauce. It's the Matt Thomas Show for lunch on Sports Talk 790. So again, if you've not seen Jay-JAN, SNL, it's really good. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. It felt like he just

wasn't staring at the note cards every time. That he actually took an attempt to make it a serious memorization. Who are some other non-actor celebrities in recent memory you could compare him to? I know Eli Manning did one, and it was okay. He was better than Eli. Payton was great. Peyton was fantastic. Charles Barclay was fantastic. Again, we're not

counting wrestlers because they got to memorize lines. anyway. I don't watch a lot of S&L. Tom Brady did one. Probably on par with that. But Tom's very, I mean, quarterbacks by nature just have to be pretty slick. You know, he goes in front of a podium every week,

sometimes twice. I'm Googling. I forgot, LeBron James did one early on in his career in 2007. I think that wasn't great. I remember not being impressed with that. Yeah. By the way, a lot of people are asking this, Merlin Nolson, Hall of Famer,

A long time actor on Little House on a Prairie and actually had his own show called Father Murphy for a while. Alex Caris, again, was in Blazing Saddles and was the dad on Webster? Okay. Did you ever watch Webster? No. It was the, I mean, that was the different strokes rip-off, right? Yeah, adopting a black kid again, no siblings. And he would always call his adopted mother who was Alex Carers' real-life wife.

her name was Susan Clark. The character, he would, he would never call her mom. He'd call her ma'am. She didn't want to be called mom. So she, why not? I don't know. It was part of the bit.

Was it, okay. Can't explain. Is she being racist or what? No, she just didn't like being called mom. Okay. Like my grandmother on my father's side did not like being called grandma. So what,

she's C.C. or G.G. No, her, her name was Audrey. And we used to call her Audi. So you really, you couldn't call her. We could, but she preferred Audi. Okay. Yeah, it is what it is. What are you going to do? No, I...

It was on for a long time. Yeah, there's people in my... I know people in my life like that. I'll just leave it at that. Okay. That liked Webster? Oh, sure. Yes.

It was a classic. Never saw an episode of it. 120 on the Matt Thomas show, 713, 212-790. Sean and the Woodlands on the Matt Thomas show. Hi, Sean. Hi, how are you doing today? Good. What's got on?

You got it. I've got a great name for your athlete actor game here. Legitimate college athlete, great acting career. How about Burke Reynolds? Yeah, but he wasn't an elite level professional athlete. He never played major college or major professional football for a long period of time, right? Well, do we consider big-time D-1 college football major? Nope.

Okay. Nope. No, we were talking about super-duper professional athlete becoming super-duper famous actors. then I miss her. That's okay. I love your show. Thank you, Sean. I'm here for me.

Appreciate the input. Yeah. You know who his roommate was? Lee Corso. Of course. I'm sure we've heard at least five times a year. Believe it or not. I feel bad for Corso.

They put him out there like a mascot. Yeah. And then when the game's really going on, you don't see him ever again. Yeah, I would rather them move on from him. He doesn't, he hadn't provided anything the last few years. It's not his fault. No, he's old and had a stroke. Yeah, exactly.

So what they do is their producers give him a bunch of note cards. Right. And then he just reads off the note cards. And then he does the mascot bit at the very end of the show. I'm telling you, the person that's perfect to replace him, that would add 25 times entertainment value plus the analysis. It's Pat McAfee.

That guy is the hottest guy in sports media today. He's really hot? Not like hot as in attractive, as hot as in well-sought. after. If Monday night football wanted to do something? No, I thought we were going in the former coach

in act wacky and stuff. So I was thinking Steve Spurrier. No, we're having two different conversations. I'm just bringing in Pat McAfee just bring him up.

Okay. But I mean, the Lee Corso mold, former college coach can be crazy. Oh, you're talking about replacing on game day. Right.

Spurrier seems to be little aged for that, right? He's in his 70s now, right? And he likes playing golf. Yeah, he doesn't want to commit to that.

I think if they ultimately get rid of Lee. They're going to bring in somebody that's... Maybe they just... They don't replace him. What about Dana Holgerson? He's busy running an outstanding football operation known as the University of Houston. Speaking of U.S.

Where's D.R. King going? Is he... Is that official? He's at Miami? I think he's a community college, man. By the way, speaking to U of H sports, what's going on with you guys biting people over the weekend. Jay John Jiro. What are you doing? Why do you have players biting people? Did Kelvin Samps? Be honest, Matt. Did Kelvin

Sam say before the game, you need to play hungry today? I don't know why. You know what? You're on segment suspension. Let me handle those about myself. Did he take the eat-em-up coogs mantra a little too seriously? See again, Nick's on a phone. You were looking so desperately for the rim shot. I need my room. You just were. You are so proud of that line, but yet no one's there to pay off on it. I know. Because you heard awkward silence with me. All right, so those of me that don't know, this is our Cougar update, presented to you by the joint chiropractor, the official chiropractor of University of Houston Athletics. Here's the bit.

The bite. So there's a scrum near the free throw line. Ball is loose and a player from Cincinnati's grabbing it. And so is Jero and Jero thought, well, you know, why don't I go for a chunk of the back of his leg? He went full Mike Tyson. And here's the problem is that Kelvin either got some bad information or bad account. camera angles because he was pretty adamant that Dejean did not did nothing of the such so he said we looked at it on three different video monitors we looked at it on this this this this my my player would not do that

this is ridiculous the officials aired the next day I think I'm sitting I think I'm what at the rockets getting ready for the game in the university Houston sends us apology out I'm like what is this apology about after looking at it through our video we clearly noticed that Jero uh Dejohn decided he did want to take a bite of the player. I apologize since Annie, and he has been suspended by the team, by their own rules for the next game coming up on Thursday. Now, whether or not the conference does more than that,

I don't know, but sometimes self-policing is enough. Eat him up coogs. He was hungry for a win. He was really taking a bite out of the competition. He was chomping at the bit to get on the floor. I think I'm done Anything else Nick Yeah why don't you

Why don't you both Look for work elsewhere Just go ahead and finish it off With a big bang Yeah that's probably not a bad idea I'm not happy I'm not happy about that I'm not happy about giving up a double-digit lead

In the second half to since any of all people It was a rabid defensive effort from Dejean Good Your timing sucks both of you It's all right I'm pretty happy with myself. When the Cougars are advancing deep in the tournament, and your little longhorns are in the

are they in the NIT again for the 19th consecutive years. Big game against Kansas tonight. No, you already played Kansas. It's conference slate, man. You play twice. You play twice in like 10 days. Now you've got to get them at the fog. Couldn't beat them at home.

Let's see how this goes. Wait, me, y'all really playing them against this fast? Yeah. Who's the knucklehead schedule the Big 12 conference? Are you sure it's not women's games you're all worried about? and barely went over Iowa State, a crappy Iowa State team over the weekend. That was on the Longhorn Network,

your own TV network? It was on Sports Talk 790, your home for Texas basketball. They'll be on tonight, starting at 7.30. Who they're playing? The Kansas Jayhawks. We've not taken one call about the Texas

Kansas preview yet. That's a shame. 127. They're 15 point dogs. It is the, ooh, on the road? You poor, poor man. 127. well, that's more than most of America did.

713-212-5-790, 7-1-3-212-5-790. Should the Rockets legitimately kick the tires, well, they already are, should they put in a plan together to trade Clint Capella? Is this two straight games of the 6-6-in-under lineup, making the Rockets think that Clint is expendable? It's Clint Capella. Hard and no look past Capella, two-hand jam!

Sports Stock 790 is just. Joe home for Houston Rockets Basketball. Yeah! Social media can be a little strange. And I actually know somebody very high up in the Atlanta Falcons organization. Frankly, Ross, you do as well. The Atlanta Falcons, about an hour and 15 minutes ago, put out some breaking news. And it said, we will not pursue negotiations with Vic Beasley this soft season,

and one of their linebackers. that's really odd for a team to put that out there, correct? Correct. So the guy, the first response was, this guy some guy named at Boston Austin says, source. The Atlanta Falcons respond, literally us, the Falcons.

Isn't that weird? I love that. So I wonder if that's a little posturing from the Falcons of all right, Beasel, you want to get out there and tell about how you are, who you are and what you're worth. Yeah. We're going to shut that down right now. That reminds me.

Do you remember, like, years ago, it was actually for the 10,000, it was the day of the 10,000 Twitter party when I had made that Photoshop with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Luck on it, and it was like in there in Civil War times. Very popular in your part. Somebody asked me,

I was telling somebody that I did that, and they're like, what's your source? I'm like, what? I did it. Like, I made it. That's my source. Yeah. So anyways.

But yes. that happens to a lot of people. But it's very uncommon for teams to do that. Right. It's uncommon for someone to ask a literal team source? Literally us, the Falcons. That's great. I love the internet sometimes.

I just love teams. Like Wendy's is savage on Twitter. It gives zero. No, that's true. About going against McDonald's and Burger King and any of their competition. Wendy's knows its role. They're like number three, but they're very comfortable in their role. Sure, they love the aspirations to be number two, but they're never going to be number two.

They're just a sure number of Burger King locations are going to win that battle. But you don't, you better be careful McDonald's and Burger King about bragging about something you shouldn't be bragging about because Wendy's going to be watching over you. Wendy's is a superior product to Burger King, in my opinion. I think their fries are inferior. Burger King's fries are awful. The Wopper are still delicious. Yeah, but I mean, you get a Dave's classic and some spicy nuggets. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with that.

Yeah. Maybe a little frosty. Here's the biggest scam. If anybody is running a Burger King in Houston, this is just, and I've been telling everybody I know within years about this, I do like their French toastics. Burger Kings? Burger King for breakfast time. Never had them.

You can get, and this is the God's honest truth. You wouldn't lie to us, Matt, would you? No, I mean, I'll lie to you about some things, but it wouldn't be about Burger King's French Toastix. So Burring King owner operators out there, let's be very carefully. You can get three, you can get three French toastics for $1. Okay? You can get five for $249. So why would you just get two orders of three?

I've been doing that for many a year, my friend. And this is so sad. I tell this every time I go to a Burger King. There are two Burger Kings, at least, on the way from Kingwood to my work. One's in Kingwood, and one is along 59. I tell them every time. I said, you know, I buy the two orders of three because it's cheaper than a one order of five. and the woman or man turns around, looks at the sign and goes,

I don't get it. Every time. Well, not a lot of road scholars working at the Burger King, Matt. I'm not asking for PhDs. I'm asking for somebody to realize that two, three orders get you more sticks at a lesser price. Yeah, you know, my dad did that because it used to be, it was at Jack in a Box back in the day. You remember Matt when everything was 99 cents? It was a golden age.

Right, right. It was the jumbojack meal was $2.99. Or you could get a jumbo jack, a medium fry, and a medium Coke for 99 cents apiece. So you save two cents. And I remember my dad, like, slowly, individually ordering all of them so that he could save the two cents. That's one coin. I think a 50 cent difference when you're trying to, when you're trying to be economical at the BK. Is it?

So if there's any Burger King owner operators in the area, please do me a few. favor and you never fix it. Yeah, why are you asking them to fix it? Yeah, they're going to raise the price of the order of three now. Yeah, you shouldn't even broadcast it anything. Now three is going to run you to buck 50. No, but see, you can't sell it. That's a big selling point.

Everything is a dollar. You can't charge a dollar 40 and it'd be on the dollar menu. You just can't. It used to be the dollar menu. Now it's the value menu. Oh, that's true. I stand correct. They have like $5 items on there now.

Yeah, it's like how much of a value is this? It isn't a value. Getting screwed. Let's go to a Sean on the Woodlands on the Matt Thomas show. Hi, Sean. Hi. Actually, it's a different, Sean, just in case you're thinking it's the last, Sean. That's okay.

I picked up the phone at the same time, so I don't know who else was already named, but I thought of four. One, obviously, Kobe Bryant, he had that documentary. Two would be O.J. Simpson, and then three, The Rock, if we can use wrestling. and John Tina, if we can use wrestling. He's also in the new Descantirious 9.

Yeah, Sean, you are a little late to the party. We did not count wrestlers because they are actors in itself. We did mention O.J., and then we did not thought about Kobe because Kobe hasn't done... Has he done a lot of major motion pictures? I don't think he has.

No, no. He just did one, but he got an Academy Award for it. Yeah, was that a documentary that he did, or was it a real-life movie? It was a documentary. but, you know, Academy Awarding, you know. Well, no, the Academy Awardy won was for an animated short film. Oh, okay.

Well, I wasn't sure what it was for, but I know he did a film. I thought it was for the, I assumed incorrectly. Yeah, he doesn't add. Either way. He does have that. Are we using wrestlers? No, I hit on the nail with those. No, because we don't, yeah, we're talking about legitimate athletes that were not.

Because look, as much as I love wrestling, you all know that, they're actors. They rehearse their lines. They speak. Their moves in a ring are rehearsed. I feel like I'm telling the kids out there that you know who's not real either. Oh, here's a good one. Rady, Rottie Piper. Okay, that's, you're not helping here.

Stone Cold Steve Austin. You're not helping. They've both been in movies. You're just not helping. Terry Hulk Hogan. Okay. Yeah, that's true. He was in Mr. Mom or whatever it was.

What was that called when he was a? He was in Rocky 2, right? Not Mr. Mom, but what was the one where Hulk Hogan was a nanny or whatever? It might be called the Nanny. And then he was also in Suburban Commando with Christopher Lloyd. How do you have his IMDB in front of you? I don't.

It was Mr. Nanny, not Mr. Mom. I remember watching Mr. Nanny when I was a kid. I was like, this movie sucks. Mr. Mom was funny. You know, Mr. Mom was Michael Keaton. Okay. And Terry Gar was the housewife next door. That was the, no, she was the girlfriend.

And Gillian was the girl that was always trying to flirt with Mr. Michael Keaton. Then he goes from that to being Batman. We just got another vote for Jim Brown. How many movies has Jim Brown been in? Let's see. I'm going to get you, Sucker. I remember seeing him in the original gangsters where he was like a gangster.

It was like the bunch of these old gangsters all getting together and taking out these young bucks. Maybe we got to put Jim Brown on that list because, again, he had been a movie recently, but that's a pretty big one. I guess. How big was his role and I'm going to get you sucker? He was a supporting role, but he had several lines. By the way, I wonder if Kevin Garnett's career is going to start to go off in acting after he was in that movie with Adam Sandler, my close personal friend. Did you see that movie yet, by the way? Uncut Jims, I have not.

Have you? No, I want to see it, though. Okay. Matt, I think we need to go like to the movies more. Oh, Jim Brown was in the running man. Like just me and you after a show. Oh, running? You want to go, you and I don't know movies?

Okay. And then we can do like movie reviews and we can put them on on the internet's movie club. Yeah, and then we'll get invited to like the LA scene and like the SAG Awards and stuff like that because we're known movie critics. And we'll get free stuff. Well, we'll get press kits like Academy Award press kits and stuff. Go on junkets. Like, hey, come out to come out to France to meet Jennifer Hans in our next movie. We could talk to William H. Macy or other random actors.

We'd have to ask William H. Nancy about his crazy wife who's trying to get her kids into school college. they shouldn't be getting into. I don't know if I'll answer a question about that. Probably not. All right, 713, 212.125, 790. 713-212-5-790. This is the Matt Thomas show. Super Bowl, 54 in the books.

It's the top of the hour. I ask again, where do you think the Texans are in relation to what the Kansas City just pulled off yesterday down in Southbeat? Back to the Matt Thomas show. On Sports Talk, 790 for the quarter and let's go! Home of your Astros. 148 of the Matt Thomas show.

A lot of Eastern Conference team has been calling the Rockets. Rockets calling him back saying you want Clint Capella. Here he is. So I'm... Reportedly. Reportedly. The trade deadline is Thursday 2 o'clock. Hmm.

And I'll be out in Los Angeles on that Thursday. Will fire alarms are going off in your hotel room? A different hotel. So maybe, but probably not. Well, I mean, when you're going to pull and do the testing of the fire line, it's in that midday slide. You ever notice that morning drive, afternoon drive, you put the big stars. Yes. They get lots of commercials, a lot of fame, a lot of recognition.

Of course. Us middayers, we're just grinding. Yeah, that's true, Matt. You're a grinder. Just grinding. Matt, Grindr, Thomas. Don't like that at all. You don't like that?

Okay, so here is where I'm mixed. You don't want to be associated with Grindr. Yeah. First of all, Clint's a good guy. Yes. You hate for good guys to leave. Right. I like Clint.

Clint has value. Can't argue that point. The question's going to be, are you trading him at his apex performance as an NBA player, or is there room to grow and that ultimately it makes you feel bad that that guy is gone? There's only one guy in the last handful of years that the Rockets have moved away that I frankly thought was stuck where he was and wasn't getting any better. And that's why when he was traded, I was like, no big deal. Montres Harrell has become a really big force in the NBA.

Off the bench, a big-time double-double producer for the L.A. Clippers. And a huge part or reason why the Clippers might be the deepest team in the NBA because you got him and Lou Williams coming off the bench for them. And that's about 40 points and about 19 rebounds between the two of them, almost every single night combined. So is Clint Capella going to go somewhere and learn another part of his game? Or is Clint Capella who he is, and that's the best he's going to be, and that if you are looking to get better in the winged category,

that you would take a downgrade in the center position in order to find a better shooter. Now here's what the rumors are saying. The Rockets want to move Clint Capella to a team that has draft picks. They will then spend those draft picks to go get somebody else. Now, all this has to be done, three teams, you know, you've got to get at least three teams involved that you would think in theory. You've got to get it done by Tuesday, Thursday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I think what the Rockets are doing, if they do hit remove Clint, they don't aren't going to say, hey, Isaiah Hardinstein is our starting center. They've been talking about trying to get another,

also a center in return. One is preferably cheaper for the next couple of years than what Clint Capella is and then also a wing. So they're trying to flip Clint into enough assets to acquire a wing player and a big man.

And the big man's not going to be nearly the double-double machine that Capella is. Maybe he's maybe perhaps, I would think, longer in the tooth. Well, John Collins with the hawks has been mentioned. In connection with the somebody of the Houston Rockets are going after?

What are his numbers like? He's scoring about almost 20 points a game. And he shoots 34% from three. He's a power forward 6 foot 9. Move him to the 5? Perhaps. Because let's face it, the Rockets are the last couple of games.

The Rockets have gone. Two years ago. Six, six and less. Daniel House and PJ Tucker have spent more time at the 5 than I, Isaiah Hartenstein and Tyson, Chandler have. I don't know why the Hawks would be given away.

I mean, the Hawks have a lot of issues, obviously, but I wonder what specifically would put John Collins on the block for them. That's a number, that's a name that's been mentioned in connection with the Rockets having interest.

So let's put, let's, let's try to sell Clint Capello to somebody, if that is what the Rockets want to do. Okay, let's do this. He's a double, double machine, correct? Mm-hmm. He very rarely doesn't mean he's

get 35 double doubles this year. Or not that that many. Well, I don't know. Maybe he does. He's missed a bunch of games with this heel situation. But that's just father time. That's just, that's not a situation where he's got to have surgery. He just, he just needs to stay off the basketball floor.

And he's in a game to game basis. He has always top five in block shots. For the most part, he gives you terrific effort. The biggest detriment for him, Ross, frankly, is the fact that he just, there's no more elevation to his offensive game. The reason why he's having a tough time finishing this year, not because he's not a great finisher, it's because he just has no leaping ability anymore.

Those heels are hurting him, obviously. Yeah, the planter fasciitis is what they're going with now instead of a heel bruise. Whatever it is. It's clearly impacting his explosives. I agree with that. So if you go to the highlight film and you go back to Clint Capella last year when he was finishing. every alley hoop that was thrown to him and was developing a little bit of a shot within three or four feet.

It was okay. He's just not the player that he is right now because he's hurt. Not because he's all of a sudden lost it. It is aggravating to see him get so many rebounds and not be able to get to the basket, but I think a lot of that is because of the planterfaciitis. So a sage general manager understands that Clint is not what Clint is right now. Right. The question is, what do you get back for a guy who's double-dubles,

block shots, good rebounder, but nothing in terms of elite and anything he does, and what are you going to put in that spot in return if you go get a better jump shooter to help this cause on the rotation? That's what the Rockets right now are kicking the tires on. Gerard on the Matt Thomas show. Girard, what do you got today? Hey, how's going, guys? Good.

Yeah, man, I think you got a lot of good points, man. I think part of this is based on what happened in the last two years, too, man. You know, he's getting short-up against Golden State. Draymond Green pretty much took him out of both series that we lost to him in the second round last year and in the finals the year before. So I don't think they really completely trust propeller, man. When you're going to get stronger league teams, man, you know, he struggled against the Lakers in the game against Houston, man. McGee got the best of them. So I don't think, I think part of it is the Rock is don't trust the man, you know, in the big moments.

So they're looking to improve Dan Tony has a double down on small ball, you know. He's going with PJ Tucker at the 6'4-6thin. And he's doubling down on that. He hasn't even playing Hartstein or, I can't remember his name, the guy that brought in. The guy that brought in. Tyson Chandler? Yeah, my bad, Tyson Chandler. They haven't been playing them.

You're going to try to get a wing defender, a guy that can help them out on the perimeter. Because, again, you look at the top teams in the west. You know, you got LeBron James with the Lakers, and you got Coah Leone and Paul George with the clippers. So you have to get better on the perimeter than bringing in a guy that can defend. Maybe a Covency from Minnesota would be good because he can shoot the three-and go out on the perimeter. That would be a good move. And then you bring in a backup center. DeAndre Jordan is a guy you can look at.

He's backing up Jared Allen with the Brooklyn Nets. That could be a guy that you can bring in. He could feel the same road that a Capella could feel with the Rockets right now. I bring him in. Then you guys mention Collins from Atlanta. So I'll be looking at one of those two guys to bring in to fill in the board left by Queen Capella. All right, thanks, Sherrod. I don't know.

What does the Andre Jordan make? I feel like, again, this is still going to save some money for the Rockets. I don't think it's any secret of the Rockets do not want to be over the luxury tax, which really dings your big time is the more and more you're over it. What kind of money is DeAndre Jordan make right now? He's making $10 million a year the next four years. That's it? DeAndre Jordan's $10 million a year, that's it?

Signed a four-year, $40 million deal last year. How old is he? Nets. Let me look it up. He's like 30, 31? He's 31. It'll be 32 in July. boy i'm i'm stunned at how little money that deandre jordan makes or unless he's just unless his skills

have deteriorated so badly i mean he was making 20 million a year was last deal with the clippers but i mean you're not going to sign a 31 million or you're not going to sign a 31 year 20 million a year no but i'm just thinking that man that that that would shave some money because that's that's about a seven million dollar uh drop him salary from that that the center position. Problem is, if you're trying to get better at the wing position, you're probably going to make that money up back in their direction, right? I know.

I know the Rockets would like to get under the cap. I don't think they're trying to hide that. But if you are still going all in, I don't know how much you can do if you're trying to get better from the wing position and yet Trulls try to save money at the same time. That's why I'm kind of curious what comes back in these deals, because if you really think the Rockets are going to win the championship, then we shouldn't worry about the selection tax or where they might ultimately land. I mean, if teams are, if you are starting to spread the word out there that you want to get

under the cap, you're, you don't really care what you get back in return. You're just looking to get under the cap. You're looking to get draft picks for future years and you just don't care what you do. But it feels like to me, at least that the reports are right with Woads that they're trying to get better on the perimeter, get one more jump shooter for a playoff run. And that's what Odebishop will say, we'll let you hear that coming up at the top of the hour. It is 158 on the Matt Thomas show, and we welcome you in the final. Ross, what is, believe it or not today coming up at 252?

It's got to be Andy Reid. Go ahead and hit the Cricket Snick. Good things about Andy Reid, right? Okay. I'm just saying it's throwing out a possibility. Or chieftoms? Famous chiefdoms? Yes.

Wow, okay. Is the Matt Thomas Show. All right, 203 on the Matt Thomas show with Nick and Ross. I'm Matt. It's nice to have you with us at 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Let's run through the audio of the day, the most important stuff.

We're all starting with your favorite sportscaster in mind, predicting the score of Fridays of the game yesterday on Friday's show. Rossi, I got Kansas City one in this one, 31 to 20. I think it's a cover. and what's the over under on the, is it fluctuated much since the start of the Super Bowl? 54. Am I under? I'm going to go under.

You're on. And I got 3120 Kansas City beating San Francisco. What you think? Really? Yep, 3120. Good game, but not incredible. I don't think, I don't think Kansas City puts up 31 on this defense.

She had to put that last part in there, huh? Well, my other noble steed was in charge of editing the tape. No, it's fine. And by the way, you're no longer on suspension. Oh, now he's not? No. Hey, look, they only scored 10 points the first three-quarters.

So I was almost right about the Chief's defense. I mean, Chiefs often struggling against the Niners' defense. Here's Pat Mahomes on a potential dynasty for the KC Chiefs. It's pretty amazing. The dynasty or whatever you want to call it, the Patriots have had these last 15 to 20 years. And so for me, it's about taking it one year at a time. We came up short last year. We understood how hard of a challenge it was to get into this position again,

and we found a way to do it. And we understand next year that when we come back and we enjoy this and then we come back next year, it's going to be just the same hard, same amount of tenacity and dedication every single day if we want to be here. And so we just take it one year at a time, one day at a time, and try to put together great years. And then at the end of it all, we'll have no regrets on where we're at.

Texans are in trouble, Ross. That's just the truth. Yes. That is a juggernaut. Kansas City, especially that running game is the way as way as it was yesterday. How old is Andy Reed? Maybe he'll retire. 61.

Four years. Question. Let's do one, two, three. Who survives longer in their job? Andy Reed or Bill O'Brien? One, two, three. Bill O'Brien. Because he's going to survive longer in life.

At what point does Cal give Bill O'Brien 25% ownership stake in the team? Maybe he already has. But they have to have now have announced that? Not really. Because you got the title of general manager. It wasn't like they said, well, because of that, we give him this.

Does Bill O'Brien own a small percentage of the Texans? I don't know how the legal that is. I know players can't as part of the CBA and salary cap and all that stuff. There's no salary cap on coaches. That's what I'm saying. I know I'm saying players can't because of the salary cap. I don't know how it works with coaches.

Are they going to be the Houston O'Brien's in 10 years? Will it be Bill O'Brien's? Brian Field at Energy Stadium? Because Bill's is already taken by Buffalo. No, I like my like. B.O.B. Field at Energy Stadium. Hmm.

Mm. Makes you think about the future and what's going to happen for Deshawn in the still very much prime of his NFL career. When did they put him in the ring of honor? Bill O'Brien. Would Bill O'Brien put himself in the ring of honor for all the AFC South Division championships?

Maybe. I wouldn't put it past him. Ladies and J. P. announcer. Ladies and gentlemen, we direct your attention to the 50-yard line line, where Cal McNair, who left the owner's box just 10 minutes ago,

was summoned down to the field. He doesn't know the reason why he's on the field. He is now presenting a piece of paper declaring this Bill O'Brien Field at NRG Stadium. And ladies and gentlemen, please put your attention to the banners in the upper left-hand corner of NRG Stadium where you'll see not one, not two, three but four

AFC South Championships. You'll see AFC divisional participants. And you will see the next name, Bill O'Brien, with a picture of a tea kettle with steam coming out of the top.

Tea pot. A teapot, if you will. Bless you. Joining him, a man of few words. Jack Easterby. Jack, will you have to, will you please say a few words on behalf of your good friend, who's now in the Bill O'Brien Field at NRG Stadium Hall of Fame?

He politely declines. Rightfully so. So basically the three of them have this big old media event at the 50-yard line to celebrate Bill O'Brien Field to Energy Stadium. Cal doesn't speak. Jack Isabry doesn't speak. And Bill O'Brien's like, I ain't got time for this and throws the microphone on the ground.

Who fuck, who? Yeah, he's got to be looking at college players and scouters. outing that and free agents and game planning and being the head coach and all that type of stuff. He didn't time for his own ring of honor and doctrination or induction. And I'm curious about who he's going to handle the contracts because somebody has to massage the salary cap and you have to do it every single day. They haven't announced a hire of anybody? I don't think so.

They have fired plenty of folks, but they have not rehired anybody. So Bill's getting the calculator out? No, he can't. The bill getting the abacus? even an average general manager can't do that. Rick Smith had a capologist. You had to hire a capologist. Yeah, it was Chris Olson.

And he's no longer with us. I mean, he's literally with us, but not like, you know what I mean? Well, you never know this Easterby O'Brien crew from Dorchester. How close are the Texans? So if they, Ross, if they go make a serious move in free agency, one or two defensive players. Let's say they fix the secondary. They young and up to secondary. Okay.

And they go get another offensive lineman. Is that it? We good? Are they going to have room for all that once they re-up Tunsel and Watson? Well, there's no guarantee that either one of those things are going to happen. I would hope that they would because you would not want to give up all the first round picks and everything that you invested in getting Laramie Tunsell for him not to sign a long-term deal. Both of them would be free agents after they.

this upcoming year, correct? Yeah. That's not, they're going to probably take care of them both. So let me ask you, why they must already know what the dollar value is, because if you'd get rid of your capologist so close to one of the most meaningful off seasons you've had in a long period of time, that doesn't sound like that's the most sage thing to do, right? No. Unless they already know what they're willing to spend.

And that maybe, and that maybe, here's, I'll spend it, let's spend a different direction. maybe Chris Olson was a pain the ass to Bill O'Brien and said, well, you know, we really can't do that. But Bill O'Brien's like, this is Laramie Tunsell. This is our quarterback. We've got to make sure they're get paid. There's two sides of every story on this, right? I don't know if Chris Olson was amazing at his job.

I know that certain members of the media thought he was great at it. I know that Bob McNair thought he was great. Bob McNair thought he was great at it, but Bob's not with us anymore. And then maybe things have changed. And that people, you know, sometimes, you get a new sheriff in town. And whether you like it or not, you got to play by their rules. He wants to bring his all his own...

We're happy with who we chose. He wants to bring all his own deputies. Well, if he has been given the power, clearly what he has. And Olson is fighting him every tooth and nail. It does make sense that they would pull the trigger on it. So clearly, Bill, and you, again, you would not fire your chief capologist in the most important offseason this team has had in the last five years. But you need somebody in that role.

Well, they're going to get somebody. The cap. I mean, Chris Olson isn't dictating how the cap works. He's probably just presenting him with factual information. Yeah, because I can't. Is Chris Olson coming with a bunch of opinions? Like, I don't think you should do this or this or this? Or is he saying, hey, we fiscally cannot do this. That's right.

If Chris Olson goes into Bill's office every day and says, we need to save $6 million, don't spend this. Right. Then he's not doing the organization any good. We don't worry about stats. Unless he's being told by people above Bill, save some money. Or, I mean, is he going to Bill and be like, hey, Bill, why didn't you take that time out at the end of the fourth quarter there against Jacksonville or whatever? Let's just criticizing his on the coach, Bill.

Hey, Chris walks by Bill's office. Hey, nice challenge, B-O-B. Yeah, like, unless he's doing that. Could Chris Olson be just a jerk to Bill O'Brien after games? It's the only reason it makes sense. Hey, Hey, Bill, you can't take timeouts with you to the halftime locker room. Right.

Yeah. Nice play call on, nice draw play on third down, Bill. This fuck, too. Fuck you. Yeah, maybe he was yelling at Chris Olson in the hallway there. Maybe Chris Olson was just needle him the hell out of Bill O'Brien. Let me tell you. If I got an employee with me who's just needling me all the time, I'm getting rid of him.

Uh-oh. I don't think you guys really care what I say. Just like I don't really care what you say. 2.13. We've just figured out. We've made Chris Hulson the bad guy. Finally got to the bottom of it. We did.

We did. 713. 212.1.790. 713. 212.5.790. Believe it or not, coming up in 35 minutes from now. Rock is interesting. J.J. Watt was funny. Do we have any sound clips of J.J. Watt?

I feel like we should somewhere, right? Not yet. We've gone the entire day of our radio station. not playing a single sound bite of JJ Watt from Saturday Night Live? Well, yeah, I mean, nobody watches Saturday Night Live. Yeah, America watches. I'm going to go check the ratings right now. Okay.

I'll come back and prove you wrong. Back to Matt Thomas. Drives the state to left center field. This is Sports Talk 790. Home of Astros baseball. Here's not the entire monologue, but a little chunk of JJ on the set to open up Saturday Night Live where he didn't have to have anybody with him. It was just him and us, the audience.

Thank you so much. I am so excited to be here hosting Saturday Live. My name is JJ Watt, and I play defensive end for the Houston Texan. Now wait a minute. Wait a stop, dude. Don't do that. See, the Texans are a football team. Football is the sport with the helmets. I'm sorry, guys. I didn't think I'd need to explain that, but the writers backstage seemed super confused. So there you go. When I found out that I was going to be holding, hosting SNL I told some of my teammates. And not to fulfill a stereotype, but at least half of them

asked me, what day do they tape that? I mean, dude, it's Saturday Night Live. How the hell am I supposed to know? I don't work there. Oh, come on, Nick. Now, Nick, you're being way too critical. Nick, I want you to fast forward. Now, we're going to skip the rest of the model. I want you to find...

That was not impressive. It was actually getting funnier as it moved along. Go to the scene where he is reading the lines for EA Sports Madden 21. That is legitimately funny. And I'm telling you, I was wrong, Ross, on this. J.J.'s going to have an acting career when it's done. Now, how big it gets and how superstar he gets,

it frankly would help him if the Texans would ever get to the Super Bowl. Because he becomes ten times more. I mean, if J.J. gets to the Super Bowl, he's more popular than Deshaun Watson in terms of a guy that you want to hear from, right? Is he? Why? been around longer. He has been a defensive player of the year.

Deshawn Watson has not been invited to do Saturday Night Live. JJ was. JJ's been... Jay J.J. was in that movie. What was that movie he was in where he was a soccer referee or whatever it was? What? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, he was in it.

I don't think Deshawn has shown any aspirations of doing television and movies at least at this point. J.J. has. Because frankly, here's what JJ is going through, Ross. And this is in all seriousness. These players in today's world of the NFL, they're cutting their life, they're playing lives career shorter. J.J. Watt knows who his name is. He doesn't have to worry about eating food out of a blunder in 20 years.

Bad moms? Yeah, he was in that. He was a soccer referee. Oh, how was that movie? He was okay. Christina Applegates in it, and I've had a mad crush on her for years. I'm trying to figure out what reason, what spurred you to go see that movie. Who's in the cast? There's a bunch of good-looking women in that show. There is Milakunis. Yep. Duh. Kristen Bell. Yep.

Christina Applegate. Clearly in third place. Jada Pinkett Smith. No question. Back to fourth place for Christina. And JJ Watt. And JJ. I was doing my sports talk responsibility by going to see JJ as a despian.

Hmm. Okay. He did okay for himself. I'm sure he did. And he was also. an episode of New Girl and the league. I don't know what that is. The league is the fantasy football way.

The Zoe D. Chanel movie. Okay. So yeah. I mean a show. So he's, so he is doing everything he can, I think, to broaden his horizons. Because most guys, when they would quit playing football, would either get in the television booth or go to ESPN or, you know, be an analyst,

whatever. And there's a handful of guys that do that. I think he's thinking bigger things. Okay. I think capture, I think doing SNL does it, tremendous things for his branding, even though everybody says, well, I don't watch it. Everybody knows what it is. Yeah, but I also think he, I mean, he just literally came back from a torn pectoral injury way faster

than he's supposed to. So he loves football. He loves playing football. I think he does, but I also think he realizes that the more I do when my name is top of mind is going to help me when my career is all said and done. Well, he's going to win a Super Bowl with the Texans and Bill O'Brien, Matt. No, he's not. He might win a Super Bowl, but it's going to be with Cal hiring a new football coach.

All right. He's going to be like 40 at that point. Well, situational pass rush. There's quite a few 40-year-old pass rushers, are there? All right. So the second funniest skit, the funniest was the skit with Robbie, but I don't want to give that away because it would ruin it if I played something.

The second funniest skit is this is him in a studio recording lines for his responsibility, his lines for EA Sports Madden 21. And this is pretty funny. Your lines are numbered, so you'll start with, line A1, okay? Let's do this. Alright. Take a seat. Great. Next one down, A2. Here comes a boom. Love it. A3. Damn it. I couldn't catch that guy. Okay. Next.

Dang it. He outsmorted me. Nice. Oops. Great. A6. Sorry, guys. A7. Whoops. Nice. A8. Intercept. Oh, never mind. I dropped it. Perfect. A.9. Sorry, boys. That one's on me. Nice. A10.

Captain Clemsy strikes again. Suck today. Nice. Oh, JJ. Thanks, man. But I mean, it kind of sounds like video game, JJ. What, messes up a lot. Yeah, the designers like to cover all their bases. But, like, I do good things, too, right?

I mean, I'm a top-ranked defense event. Like, I'm good. Is that gross to say? A little bit, yeah, but it's all good. So moving to that next chunk, starting with, y'all see that sack. Oh, fine. I like that one. Here we go.

Okay, whenever you're ready. You'll see that sack? I hope our quarterback's okay. This other team is good. It's really good. You really? I mean, compared to what you normally expect from Estenel, yeah, it's really good. Okay.

I mean, you just validated my point. The concept was funny. I liked it. I mean, but yeah, I wasn't blown away by his acting there. Okay. I'll watch you have an assignment. You must watch it. I watch it tonight.

Yeah. Right after the nightcap at 6 o'clock. Okay. So it was slightly better than the typical awful SNL? When was the last time you watch SNL? Like 20 years ago. Okay, well, then how do you know? Yeah, I was just saying, there have been funny moments on SNL in the last 20 years.

If for even as stale and as predictable as it is, there had been, lots and funny moments in SNL in the last 20 years. It just has been. Like six of them? No, way more than that. We've got a, well, Woge tweet from two minutes ago. Nothing breaking, but I mean... We'll explain it coming back.

Okay. We'll hear from Woage, too. How about that for a little radio production? The Houston Lunchtime Sports Conversation most respected by head coach Bill O'Brien. I have a tremendous amount of respect for... Matt Thomas. In his career here in Houston. Of sorts.

The Matt Thomas Show. I thought I heard an ABC news sounder. You know, here's the thing. We might need to get a Woge update on the Matt Thomas show. Another Woge tweet while we were waiting. All right. So let me play this, and you're going to do two tweets after I do this. Here is Woge earlier today talking about the Houston Rockets having interest in moving Clint Capella.

Here's Woj a couple hours ago and then an update after that. Well, what Houston would like to do is turn Clint Capella into draft assets that they can use. to then go out and get one of the wings that are available in the marketplace. Certainly Robert Covington is a focus in their trade talks to the Ford in Minnesota, but they hope that they could get back a forward and maybe a serviceable center who could eat up some minutes in the middle for them. So does that mean it's not about this season? They're not making a move.

I mean, they sit pretty far down in the Western Conference, but they're playing a long game here? No, no. They're absolutely playing the short game there. They need that wing player. If you're going to compete with the clippers, Kauai Leonard, Paul George, the Lakers defending their wings,

they want to add at that position. Okay. There you have it. Well, five minutes ago, Adrian Wogunarowski. I'm glad you said it probably. PSPN sources. Another team engaged with the Houston Rockets

and Trey Talks for Center Clint Capella, the Boston Celtics. And according to Clutch fans, also tweeting out, the Rockets were very close to dealing Capella to Boston this past summer. And then another tweet from Woge. The Atlanta Hawks remain a possible landing spot for Capella 2.

Rockets are pursuing first-round picks to flip into a deal for a wing player and another center. Robert Covington and Andre Iguidala are among several Houston targets. If the Houston Rockets add Robert Covington and Andre Iguodala and lose their center, you squinched a little bit. Is that even a word squintz? Yeah. Who's your starting center? Tj. Tucker?

You're going full-time small ball? They're going full-time small-ball. With maybe a heavier dose, well, man, I don't know, with Chandler and Hartnstein to me is really curious because here's the thing. There are little doses of him that you go, okay, he can do this. And there are other little small doses out there that make you think he is a foul machine, doesn't know where he is on the floor and confuse the thing. You know, part of being a center, not only is defending your position,

but know where you're supposed to be offensively, does that make sense to you? Yeah. And that I think if you don't know where you're supposed to be, especially when you have got two dominant ball handlers like Russ and James on the same floor, if you get in the way it could cause problems. That's how maybe I see it. It's not some – because the thing, if Isaiah ever could ever get down – you know, his foul per minute count is just way too high.

and you add on that where is he supposed to be on the spacing side you lose any thought of a pick and roll offense effectively i think may way less than you would if you had clincapel out there that's why i mean this is all contingent on i mean woge says they're trying to flip a deal into a wing player and another center so let's talk about this and again i don't know every team off the top of my head lakers give you a two-headed monster at the center position Mm-hmm. The Clippers go with Montrell's the back. Who's the star? Oh, if it's a Zubats. Okay, that's a...

But Harold's the undersized five, so you don't necessarily have to worry about, you know, losing a whole lot of height to him. The Rockets were out rebounded by 20-something in New Orleans yesterday and won. They were out-rebounded by the Dallas Mavericks. Again, there was no... a look of Donchich, but they won that game.

Can the Rockets legitimately hope they get something from Tyson Chandler, something from Isaiah Hartnstein, if they needed against bigger lineups, and live with PJ Tucker and that Covington, Inguodala, four? No, no, no, no. I need another center. And whatever deals they're making,

there's got to be another big man. You cannot just patch this together. And I have to believe that Daryl Morey is working on something that's going to involve a center and a wing. I would agree with you. There's no way you're patching it together with Hardenstein Unproven and Too Raw. Tyson Chandler, unreliable from an age and minute standpoint. And then, I mean, PJ Tucker's already stretched thin as it is. You can play him 40 minutes a night at center?

Six foot five, PJ Tucker? It feels like to me there's got to be a center coming back and return somehow, some way. that's why I love trade deadlines in all sports. We'll see what happens. But it feels like it's got to be three teams to tango on this. At least. Because again, the Rockets don't have anything they can trade directly to Atlanta. And I think Atlanta would be sending back here.

Again, who knows? But it feels like to me the Rockets are first trying to go draft picks so they can go use them as legitimate trade chips. Because the Rockets just haven't had any trade players in quite some time. Let me go to Kay on the south side on 7-90. Hi, Kay. Hey, how's it going? First off, I don't like the idea of them trading Capella. I kind of understand what they want to do. But Clint, I think back to the game where they played against Philadelphia,

and he was just running Embed up and down the court. Now, small ball is good, but I know when the playoffs start and they get to slowing things down with all the bigs that the other teams in the West have, I just don't think that they'll be able to get something comparable to him that the things that he can do. Y'all can speak on that. But another question I had, just out of curiosity, you know, I know that Wodge works closely in the NBA circles,

but how the hell does he know everything that's going to happen before it happens? I'm just curious because usually he's always right. Yeah. But how does he get that information where it's so precise that every time he reports something, 99 out of 100 times it happened. And I'll hang up and listen. The answer, Kay, thank you for the phone call, is that he has direct contact with coaches and general managers.

And agents. And agents. But the agents, you have to double check on the agent's side. You don't have to double check when the general manager calls you back. That's just the truth. because the agent you're going to always believe a small part of it is there's something that they're trying to gain for their client. There's some competitive sell my guy a little harder. Now, the agents typically will get it right, but not 100% of the time.

It's like hearsay. If I know that we're doing something at the radio station and my boss has tell me it as compared to you telling me as compared to, say, a salesperson or a client saying, I hear what 790's doing. So the reason why Woj gets it 100% right is he's got all of his bases covered. And typically one of those bases is the person making the deal. He doesn't have to guess. For instance, when he is out there during free agency and he says that LeBron is going to Lakers, he's going to know it because LeBron's agent is going to call him and say,

I know that LeBron is signing here. If a trade is made with a team, Darrell, R.C. Buford, any of the general managers around the NBA. He knows that that general manager, Dennis Lindsay, the Utah Jazz, is calling Woden saying, we're making this happen. There isn't any second guessing

and having to double and triple check your sources because the source directly tells you the information. And that's the reason why it's so accurate. Him and Shams. It's him and Shams, 100% accurate. Mark Stein's at about 85. And then you got Chris Broussardos at 10.

Ramona. Ramona does the Laker stuff because she's in their pockets. But yeah, there's nobody. Those two are, those two just don't mess up anymore. If they're looking for draft capital, the Boston Celtics would be a good one because they still have all those picks. How much better to the Celtics in terms of trying to beat up on Joel M. B. in the East and Janus with Milwaukee if they get Clint Capella. If you're a Boston fan and you find out that Clint Capella's coming to your team, does that get you over the hump? I don't know their team walling up to tell you that, but it's just a big old mess in the east.

Three teams legitimately with a chance to win that whole thing. Who's their starting center now? Is Daniel Theis? Tice. Tice. Okay, sure. Him. T-H-E-I-S.

Who's that? Tell me everything you know about Daniel Tice, Matt. I knew how to pronounce his name, but that's about as far as it goes. His hometown is. This is ESPN says hometown. Germany. Yeah. I don't really,

I don't really follow the East that much. I know the South terrorists are coming here next week before the All-Star break. And they're playing N.S. Cantor a fair amount, but we know how he is on defense. Well, one of those guys come back in return? Oh, I hope Eniz Cantor's not coming back. I don't want Nis Cantor. But you're going to have to get something, though. We've already discussed that.

If you're going to get better at the wing, you're going to drop, you're going to drop from a talent perspective at the five. because Clint Capella can get you 15 points, 15 rebounds, and about three block shots just about every single night. And here's the thing, crazy thing, Ross, is that some nights he's going to best Joel Embed. Some nights he's going to best Rudy Gobert. But there are some matchups that he just doesn't ever win.

And that's the Draymond Greens. That's the Athletic Five who moves around all over the place. another one. He looked like a deer in headlights against the matchup with Dwight Howard and with Javel McGee, but that man also be because of the feet. These heels have got a huge part of why Clint's looked rather pedestrian. I agree with that.

And that's too bad because, and I don't even know how much that plays into it. It also probably impacts you a little bit of what you're going to get back and return. If the team that wants to inherit him Has to worry about his planar fasciitis the rest of the season That's not going to bring Daryl a great return back Is this going to be, we've seen this before though Where a lot of stuff doesn't happen at the at the trade deadline

But we've heard a lot of scuffling We're hearing that Daryl is trying to make some moves But nothing happens Is this more because they want to get another salary luxury tax Or is this more because they figure that we need more perimeter help in order to win this championship. And that we've seen the last couple of days against one definitive playoff team

and one might be playoff team that you don't have to have A5, legitimately A5 at all, to win games. The rebounding numbers have been astonishing in favor of the other team. But it doesn't prove anything. New Orleans was up 30

in rebounding is at the half, and the Rockets had a five-point lead. Do we make too much of the fact the rebounding was such a discrepancy, when in reality you have one of the best rebounding guards maybe in the history of the NBA and Russell Westbrook. It's tough to say because rebounding numbers,

there's so much they can go into them. There's so much context necessary for rebounds. I mean, are these contested rebounds, are the offensive rebounds? And you know how it goes, Matt. Sometimes you're saying, wow, this guy's rebounding out of his mind, but everything's just falling in his lap.

So is he really rebounding out of his mind, or is it just the ball is bouncing there? Well, how many extra possessions and extra back? Second chance points have opponents gotten off of the rockets compared to everybody else in the NBA because of the fact they've allowed so many offensive. The second chance points number is allowed is not good either, right? I don't think so. I don't know. One more couple if we get to believe it or not.

Let's say hi to Jim in Bay City on 790. Hi, Jim. Hey, guys, real quick. Wanted to chime in on that possible trade to the Celtics. You guys are forgetting a fighting Texas Aggie over there that's hurt right now, Robert Williams. So I'm hoping that maybe more he pulls the plug and gets Williams back to Texas. He heals faster and then he will more than adequately fill in for Capella. So I'm hoping he pulls it off.

But again, that's the homeragging me talking. But just wanted to throw that out there. Well, let me ask you us, why does he heal faster in Texas? Is the humidity how to call? I don't know. I just hope he does. He's been hurt. I mean, I follow the Celtics a little bit because I want to see how much they're getting Williams

into the games. And this year, unfortunately, he's been kind of hurt. off and on. I was just, you know, that wasn't taken seriously. I just hope he's, but right now he's on there. He's still out, and I don't know when he's coming back, but I'm hoping maybe that's one of the guys they might get. They may be willing to part with him because he's been injury, but the upside of Robert Williams, from a defense standpoint and the ability to do what Capella does

offensively. He's just a stalwart. But, you know, I don't think it's going to happen, but, you know, the homeraggy and he would love to him in the I get it. Thank you for the phone call. He's a poor man's mantra's Harold just hadn't been hurt. He hadn't been playing. He's been hurt. Then score a whole lot, doesn't rebound a whole lot, but he hasn't played a whole lot. I just pulled up his numbers. He's playing 19 games this year. So he has missed more time than anybody else. What if I said that Kavanaugh-Lunie would be available through Golden State? Could you, can you work some magic out of there that would bring him here?

for Clint Capella? I'm just talking about any sort of multi-tier trades. I like Kavanaugh-Luny. I do. I mean, he doesn't overwhelm me. I don't think he's changing the team. I think he's a piece. But he held his own against Clinton last, you know,

when they were in the playoffs last year. That was part of the problem is that Kavanaugh was getting some better numbers than Clint was. Kledges didn't like playing gold. That's what I'm saying. Why didn't Golden State going to give him up? Well, because maybe they're thinking they're trying to retool. The Matt Thomas Show. Talk 790.

Home of the Stroes. 250 on the program. Tomorrow, we are hoping to get Dusty Baker on the show. No guarantees on that. We are trying. Astros, if you want to listen. A Dusty Baker. Go ahead.

You keep trying to sell us on 1845. I'm just telling you. No, I'm just telling you the Dusty Bakers of the Jazz Club. Okay. It's got a cigarette in his right hand. Now, this Dusty Baker probably would be. I'm just talking about. about what his name sounds like.

I heard he is a purveyor of jazz. It fits perfectly. Like, if we ever get Dusty in the show weekly, we could be like... I would love to talk jazz with Dusty Baker. It would actually be your forte. Because you're much more of a jazz fan than I am. Of course.

John Stockton, Carl Malone, Big Dog, Antoine, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson. It might be a selling point. Hey, this will not be your typical weekly interview with the manager and the broadcasters. Or maybe he's like old school. He likes the Duke Ellington and the Count Basie. Like, who's new school jazz? That doesn't really happen.

Winford Marcellus. Who's that? Isn't there a Marcellus? I don't really like smooth jazz. I like actual older jazz. We need him to help us out with that. Five minutes up to go on the show. What should we do?

We should. Good play America's fastest growing sports game show. We simply called it. Believe it or not. And here's how it works. You'll call 713212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Today's edition of Believe it or not is brought to you by Woodhouse Day Spaws.
