00:00All right, welcome back in as we got a big week in that starts for us tomorrow.
00:10I am.
00:11I'm going to have a couple pops in here.
00:14I think you should.
00:15What's the name of your spot?
00:16Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:17Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:18Somebody bring my man some Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:20Appletini.
00:20Tomorrow.
00:21Tomorrow.
00:22You got 12 iris.
00:236A to 6P.
00:24Bring my man some Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:25I would prefer it.
00:26What is your favorite?
00:28Soft-serve what?
00:28I want to try the Appletini, but generally, I've been going with that Miami Vice, a little
00:34mixture of it.
00:35Miami Vice, Appletini, and what is it?
00:39Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:40Happy-Go-Lucky.
00:41But again, it doesn't matter anywhere.
00:43Anywhere frozen, baby.
00:44Margarita, I'll bang it out here.
00:45Well, don't say that.
00:46They'll be down here at this gas station pouring a little Grey Goose.
00:50He hasn't had Grey Goose in a while, so Grey Goose in a slushie.
00:54Yeah.
00:54Oh, boy, that'd be great, man.
00:56On a hot summer day?
00:57Oh, God.
00:59The Happy-Go-Lucky thought does not turn me on at all.
01:02Add the heat of Houston.
01:04That could really...
01:05Oh, man.
01:05That could be a, hey, man, let's stop by there and just cool off a bit.
01:08We should do hour six there.
01:09Who?
01:10We should do hour six there.
01:11Yeah?
01:11I think you should.
01:12Just go ahead and move on.
01:13Get you a couple setups around the city, and I think y'all should bounce around.
01:16Yeah.
01:16By the way, you can start now.
01:21We're going from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
01:23Me, myself, and Reggie Atatula, who you hear on In the Loop every morning or every day.
01:31We're doing the Radiothon, trying to raise as much as we can for the Houston Food Bank to help feed.
01:40Man, they've got over a million people that they're helping to feed every single year,
01:45and we've got a chance to try to top what we did yesterday.
01:52So please, please help us as we will help feed Houston.
01:58It's going to be a good time as we're going to raise some cash.
02:04And, by the way, the auction, it's open right now.
02:07You can go to sportsradio610.com, and you can bid on things early.
02:13So you can start making bids.
02:15They've been people making bids already on certain things, and we've got some really, really good prizes.
02:21Hell, a couple of them, you can go ahead and just buy the damn thing right now
02:24and just shut the whole bid down.
02:27And includes, I mean, this is Everlast glove, autographed glove by Mike Tyson,
02:34which is one of the prizes on there that you can auction items you can bid on.
02:40Andre Johnson autographed brakes off of Cortland Finnegan.
02:45You can purchase that one as well to help.
02:50And all of this goes to the effort as well with the Houston Food Bank.
02:56So please go ahead and check that out right now,
03:00and you can have a chance to make some bids right now early as it will be going through.
03:06It will be open tomorrow, Clint, until 530.
03:09Tyler, I know you said you're going to jump in here and make a bid on something.
03:12It's going to be open until 530 tomorrow, so you can get started a little earlier.
03:18But it's going to be a great time.
03:19It was a great event last year.
03:20We had a lot of fun and shocked the Houston Food Bank with what everything you guys helped us do
03:30last year.
03:31We're hoping to do more this year, so come hang with us.
03:35Yeah, I don't know why you wouldn't.
03:36I don't know why you wouldn't.
03:38Come on, man.
03:38That's right.
03:39Yeah, Clint will be hanging with us a little bit.
03:40Everybody will be making a stop by.
03:42All right, I heard this, and I think you guys played this Monday in my absence.
03:50Bucky Brooks, NFL Network, was talking about the contract situation with CJ,
03:57and I'll be honest, I agree with virtually everything Bucky is saying
04:02until he starts talking about what the Texans should do, and that part I disagree with.
04:07Here's Bucky Brooks talking about the contract situation with one CJ Stroud.
04:11To me, this is one where the Houston Texans would be wise to come up off of it,
04:16open up the wallet, break them off a deal that's probably about $55 million annually
04:22because of a franchise tag, and the way that it's going, the franchise tag is going to be at $50
04:26million.
04:27And even though you have them on an option next year that will put them at $25.9 million,
04:32you are best to go ahead and pay CJ Stroud what you think the market is worth
04:38rather than wait, and he becomes a $60 million quarterback.
04:40So, quit clutching your pearls, Houston Texans.
04:43Write the check.
04:44CJ Stroud deserves to be paid, not on his last postseason performance,
04:48but on the work that he's done the previous time before those outings.
04:53He certainly deserves to get paid.
04:55Sounded like he really enjoyed saying clutching your pearls.
04:58That's one of the real takeaways from that.
05:01He ripped that one out.
05:02He was saving it.
05:03Yeah, you're right.
05:03He whipped that one out and felt good.
05:05There was a bit of a chuckle in his heart.
05:08Again, I agree with a lot of what he had to say.
05:12What I don't agree with is I would really look at the Texans and try to figure out what the
05:19hell are y'all over there doing
05:20if they all of a sudden now decided, you know what, now we're going to pay CJ.
05:28It's clear what the plan was.
05:30To me, they would just completely change course.
05:33We've talked about this a lot, Clint.
05:35I don't always have to agree with you because I'm not always right, generally, but I'm not always right.
05:46But as long as you've got a game plan and a game plan that makes some sort of sense, then
05:53go ahead and do your thing.
05:55But make sure you have your game plan.
05:58And to me, there is nothing that can happen that should shift their game plan of, no, we need a
06:06prove-it year.
06:07Whether I agree with that or not, no, we need a prove-it year.
06:10So, listen, I would say, and I think I've said a lot of the stuff that Bucky Brooks has said,
06:16but right now, they've made the decision.
06:19There is a plan, and they should stick to the plan.
06:22And, Clint, it should be either we were smart and we knew that we wanted him to prove it to
06:28us
06:28and what we saw we felt like wasn't worth us going ahead and making that commitment,
06:33or they are going to be what Jerry did and probably over or pay more for their quarterback than they
06:40had to.
06:40That's, to me, where they are right now.
06:42And if they jumped off course, I'd be like, well, hold on, what in the world happened to make you
06:47change your mind?
06:48Well, yeah, I agree with you from that perspective of that.
06:52It's somewhat silly to change course at this point in time.
06:56I mean, why would you let it go this far if that were the case?
07:00Now, you know, the reality of it is this is, to Bucky's other comments,
07:09look, whether it's CJ's fault or it's the fit issue here in Houston
07:14or just the overall offensive struggles or the lack of leadership,
07:18like I think there's several things you could point to in Houston on the offensive side of the ball
07:21that would make an organization uncomfortable with paying a guy $60 million
07:27that hasn't been the reason why you make a deep playoff run.
07:31Done some great things.
07:32Had some really good regular season.
07:33Turned the organization around, the point you've made multiple times.
07:37Like, was the tip of the spear in bringing this organization out of Deco Rice.
07:43Agree wholeheartedly with that.
07:46But to not pay a guy $60 million a year with no deep playoff runs where he carried the team,
07:53really no playoff runs where you carried the team, and the fit issues, whoever's fault they may be,
08:00the fit issues, and the leadership issues, I think it's, to me, I think it's much more of a middle
08:13ground for most folks
08:15than it is, oh, hell no, got to pay him.
08:17Got to pay him.
08:18Like, for Bucky Brooks, you got to pay him.
08:19Got to pay him.
08:20Come on, man.
08:20I mean, I've said it before, on the comments that Bucky's making, like, CJ would be crazy to take a
08:29team-friendly deal.
08:30And the Texans would be crazy to set the market.
08:33So it's a stalemate.
08:35I think it's very easy to figure out from both perspectives.
08:38I know that's not what you were asking, but just on Bucky's comments in general about, you know, how much
08:43of a –
08:44Like, I don't – like, we keep talking about $55 million.
08:46I mean, that's what Trevor did two years ago.
08:49I mean, that's what Tua did, and it was a major mistake by the Dolphins to do it.
08:53That's what Tua did two years ago.
08:55Like, that's two years old.
08:56You think CJ ought to take that?
08:58If you think they got comparable – like, obviously not Tua.
09:00But if you think that, like, the trajectory of CJ has been, like, somewhat kind of up and down,
09:05comparable to Trevor, like, you think he's going to take a contract or accept something that Trevor did two years
09:11ago?
09:12I mean, he might.
09:13I don't think – I don't think –
09:15Maybe you're right.
09:17He might.
09:18I mean, if I were the Texans early in trying –
09:24Yeah, I don't know.
09:25I don't – like, I don't – like, to me, I don't think I'd have been ready to jump to
09:30do what the Chiefs did.
09:31Like, the Chiefs jumped to Dak Prescott.
09:34I'd have been ready to do that.
09:36You mean that, Pat?
09:38Yeah, yeah.
09:39The Chiefs jumped and decided to pay him.
09:41Yeah, and that's a – hell, that's a whole different, right?
09:43Yeah, right.
09:44That's an organizational – that's an organizational formula that they're –
09:51Yeah, but if you're saying you're going to set the market, then you would jump over the 60, which –
09:55where he was at.
09:55But, I mean, to me, would I have – if I were the Texans early, would I have tried to
09:59slide that sucker into between 55 and 58 million?
10:02Yeah.
10:03I would have.
10:06But, that's early.
10:07Not now.
10:08Now, you clearly – you clearly have a plan.
10:11You have a plan, and I think you have to stick through that plan unless something has happened that changes
10:18your mind.
10:19And, hell, there ain't nothing that's happened that would change your mind.
10:23Hell, there ain't a training.
10:24There ain't an OTAs that he could have had so great to make you change your mind.
10:29Or a mandatory minicamp.
10:30So, yeah, I think they've got to stay the course with this thing.
10:34And people are either going to be – Texans fans are either going to be like, hell, yeah.
10:39Or there's going to be some where someone just texted in that Texans should have wrapped him up a long
10:44time ago.
10:45It's already ridiculous that they haven't.
10:46The rates are only going to go and get higher.
10:49It's not – nobody in NFL history has ever done it earlier than after the third year.
