In The Loop

In The Loop opens the show after an absolute “are you kidding me” kind of night for the Astros and asks whether you’re entertained and fully invested in seeing how this thing ends. Then the attention shifts to the Texans, where the walls may already be starting to close in on Nick Caley. With the offense struggling and the pressure building, could Sunday against the Colts already be a crossroads moment for the Texans offensive coordinator? The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What’s the unlikeliest “are you kidding me” thing you’ve ever seen — sports or otherwise? ITL then goes Around The NFL with reaction to Falcons-Packers on Thursday Night Football and more before B-Scott gives his thoughts on Texans-Colts and what Houston needs to do this weekend, followed by What’s Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, the guys ask which of the big questions surrounding the Texans can actually be answered against the Colts, before getting a few things off their chest with Lunch-Time Confessions and hitting the College Football Headline Of The Week presented by Wrangler. The show wraps with Texans Win Because, Texans Lose Because: Colts Edition, as the guys lay out what could lead Houston to its first win or an 0-3 start, plus Houston Dynamo head coach Ben Olsen joins the show. Then Figgy’s Mixtape takes over with a man pepper spraying someone in a movie theater for being on the phone, The Raging Italian losing it over his son washing one shirt, and Figgy’s Voicemail as Texans fans sound off heading into the weekend.
