In The Loop

Sports or otherwise, what’s the most unlikely thing you’ve ever witnessed that left you wondering how in the world that just happened?

The pressure surrounding Nick Caley and the Texans offense continues to build. With the walls starting to close in, could this already be a crossroads moment for Caley this early in the season?

Just when you thought the Astros couldn’t make things any crazier, they delivered another unbelievable night. ITL asks whether you’re finally entertained and, with everything happening down the stretch, whether you’re now fully invested in seeing how this ends.

In The Loop opens the show with a different conversation surrounding C.J. Stroud and asks whether he’s suddenly becoming the most sympathetic figure in the Texans building, or if you’re at least starting to better understand what he’s dealing with offensively. Then the guys turn to the Astros, where there’s no need to play the blame game after yesterday’s loss, but it certainly made the road to winning the AL West tougher, before wrapping the hour with the Question of the Day: What’s the biggest flex you have or ever had? ITL then goes Around The NFL with Jerry Jones’ thoughts on NFL expansion in Europe, Brian Flores’ love for blitzing, and more before former Texan N.D. Kalu joins the show for his weekly visit, followed by What’s Popping in sports and entertainment. Later, the guys react to DeMeco Ryans getting a little snippy with the media and wonder whether his frustration was really about the line of questioning or something bigger surrounding the Texans’ 0-2 start. That’s followed by Lunch-Time Confessions, where Lopez admits to some secondhand embarrassment after Dexter Lawrence trash-talked the Texans offensive line, and another edition of OG Buy or Sell. The show wraps by going Behind Enemy Lines with Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan to preview Texans-Colts before Figgy’s Mixtape takes over with robots taking on humans MMA-style and more wild stories.

In The Loop opens the show with a different conversation surrounding C.J. Stroud. With everything going on around the Texans offense, is Stroud suddenly becoming the most sympathetic figure in the building? Even if you’re not ready to go that far, are you at least starting to understand what he’s dealing with and why things have looked the way they have? Then the guys turn their attention to the Astros. There’s no need to play the blame game after yesterday’s loss, but there’s no denying it made the road to winning the AL West tougher. What does the loss mean for Houston as the regular season winds down? The hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What’s the biggest flex you have — or ever had?

In The Loop goes Around The NFL with some of the biggest stories from across the league, including Jerry Jones saying he doesn’t see the NFL putting an expansion team in Europe and Brian Flores continuing to show just how much he loves bringing pressure and blitzing on defense.

The hour wraps with What’s Popping, covering the biggest stories from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

In The Loop reacts to DeMeco Ryans getting a little snippy with the media yesterday, but was his frustration really about the line of questioning, or was there something bigger behind it? The guys discuss whether DeMeco’s reaction might say more about the frustration surrounding the Texans and their 0-2 start. Then it’s time for ITL Lunch-Time Confessions, where Lopez admits to getting some secondhand embarrassment watching the Texans offensive line get trash-talked by Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence. The hour wraps with another edition of OG Buy or Sell, as John Lopez decides what he’s buying and what he’s selling.

In The Loop goes Behind Enemy Lines as Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan joins the show to preview Sunday’s Texans-Colts matchup. What should Houston expect from Indianapolis, what are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of this Colts team, and what could ultimately decide this AFC South matchup? Then Figgy’s Mixtape takes over with a trip down memory lane featuring some throwback crazy news stories from the past, a wild look at robots taking on humans MMA-style, and more.
