Former captain of industry, current Sopranos historian, 10th ranked KOLACHE eater in the world, "Payne & Pendergast" on SportsRadio 610 weekdays 6-10am CST
Aaron Judge on whether Astros should be stripped of their 2017 championship: "I just don't think it holds any value. You cheated. You didn't earn it."

Two years ago today, the Astros top three starters were Dallas Keuchel, Lance McCullers, and Charlie Morton. Not bad.
Today, they are Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Zack Greinke. I mean…..
Jeff Luhnow for President… of the freaking universe.
Congrats to the
@Mariners
and their fans for winning the season series against the Astros. We all know that was your World Series. Have a nice winter. Losers.
A year ago, Hopkins & Clowney were two of the Texans four best players. They are both now gone (along with a ’19 4th round pick) for:
Barkevious Mingo
Jacob Martin
David Johnson
Gareon Conley (via SEA ’19 3rd round pick)
’19 2nd round pick
'20 4th round pick
AWFUL. Just AWFUL.
Will Fuller is currently on pace for 1,305 yards.
Brandin Cooks is currently on pace for 1,045 yards.
The Houston Texans have never had two 1,000 yard WR's in the same season.
Former 49ers’ defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans reached agreement today on a six-year deal, per sources. Texans have their new head coach.
I know the Yankees were one of the teams talking some mad, butt-hurt shit about the Astros. Would’ve loved to see the two teams face each other in the ALCS. Unfortunately, the Yankees just weren’t up to the task. As per usual the last several years, they’re just not good enough.
James Harden and Russell Westbrook behind home plate at a game where Jose Altuve hits a walk off to win the pennant. Now we get ready for Deshaun Watson and JJ Watt to invade Indy. These are the times to remember, baby.

During all these celebrations, I’m always happiest for José Altuve, who is the one guy who was here for ALL of the Rock Bottom Era (2011-2013). I literally love him.
The reality that Russell Westbrook’s contract ($41.3M, $44.2M, $47.0M the next three years) is probably worse than Chris Paul’s ($41.3M, $44.2M for two years) is setting in right about now.
On January 12, 2020, here was the roster of head coaches and GMs in Houston:
ASTROS —
GM Jeff Luhnow
MGR AJ Hinch
ROCKETS
GM Daryl Morey
HC Mike D’Antoni
TEXANS —
GM William O’Brien
HC Bill O’Brien
Now, they’re all gone. Nine months. In a town with relatively good teams!
In watching this for the 356th time, what jumps out at me is the reaction after the touchdown -- these guys reacted like they EXPECTED to score. No massive pig pile celebration. Just stone faced, from QB to receiver to head coach. Man, this is fun.
Correa rightfully will get a ton of love for that walk off, but holy hell... Dusty pushing buttons, Maldonado handling all these rookies, and the entire bullpen. Bravo. Incredible night.
Deshaun Watson’s clutch gene and big game flair was one of the most unstoppable forces in sports, when he came into the league.
Well, it took three seasons, but congrats to Bill O’Brien for extinguishing it. That wasn’t easy.
Nowhere to hide. The Astros three best players are failing them — Verlander, Altuve, Alvarez. They deserve every bit of the criticism they get tonight.
I love that Tunsil has each media member introducing themselves. I love that he has a pencil behind his ear. And I love that he knows the EXACT number of times Deshaun Watson was sacked.
Basically, I’m smitten with Laremy Tunsil.
Texan fans — DO NOT let this franchise put you in a place where you’re talking yourself into other QBs. Trading Deshaun is unacceptable. Not repairing this with him is unacceptable.
Rewatching the Texans playoff loss on my computer with MLB TV coverage of the Astros news going on the big screen … let’s just attach jumper cables to my balls and sit in a pool of battery acid, and get it all over with.
All of you scrubs who had Baker ahead of Deshaun Watson on any of your QB rankings heading into this season — and there were a TON of you -- should be suspended from watching football. SUSPENDED, I SAY!
Here's the time remaining at the end of the deciding play of the last 8 Texans games:
Wk 5, @ ATL – 0:00
Wk 6, v NOLA – 0:16
Wk 8, @ CAR – 0:00
Wk 9, v TB – 0:06
Wk 10, @ CIN – 0:00
Wk 11, v ARZ – 0:30
Wk 12, v JAC – 0:29
Wk 13, v DEN – 0:09
Avg 11 seconds remaining. Amazing.
If tonight was the last time we see George Springer in an Astros jersey, then I say salut to an all time Astro. Balls the size of grapefruits on that guy. I’ll always root for him.
#Texans
are working toward a potential deal that would send Deshaun Watson to the Miami Dolphins that could get done this week. If not this week they still hope they can get it done before the Nov 2 trade deadline.
Unless Brandin Cooks comes forward with something that shows a hostile workplace or him being asked to cover up something illegal, I have a hard time siding with a dude who signed a two year $36M extension with a rebuilding 4-13 team in April. Sorry dude. You knew what it was.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Gutsiest win in team history.

Texans…
BEST CASE: Part ways w/ Easterby ASAP, find a HC Deshaun likes, and they’re contenders in 2022
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Nothing changes, Watson sits out, they go 0-16 in 2021
(And now that I think about it, I think I’d rather go 0-16 w DW4 sitting out than trade him)
James Harden plays for Brooklyn and now Woj and ESPN are giving us all kinds of “he’s a great leader” and “he’s the glue of the team” … basically, like he’s undergone a complete metamorphosis from Houston Harden. I’m skeptical .. of ESPN, not Harden.
Astros ended Charlie Morton’s season last night.
Texans ended J.J. Watt’s season last weekend.
Rockets play the Lakers Sunday. If I’m Dwight Howard or Russell Westbrook, I’m watching my step.
The Astros outscored the Braves 9-1 after the organ player played “Free Fallin’” as Alex Bregman walked to the plate in the second. We needed our Tepera for this series. Thank you!
Nick Caserio just told us John Metchie III was working out recently and looks better physically now than when he arrived in Houston last year. Amazing.
@SportsRadio610
Eagles are asking for two 1s for Carson Wentz, which has led to some dial tones, including from one team previously perceived to be a favored landing spot.
CJ Stroud since returning from concussion protocol:
60-79, 751 yards
6 TD, 0 INT
130.3 passer rating
3-0 record
My diagnosis -- he seems fully recovered

& play for Houston again: “It means everything to me. It’s my hometown. It’s my city, not just the Rockets, but this whole city means everything to me. I said this once and I’ll say it again, I’ll die for this city.”
