In The Loop

Short of playing a real regular-season game, ITL debates whether the Texans have done enough throughout camp and the preseason to answer the biggest questions surrounding this team.

In The Loop kicks off the show with John Lopez trying to celebrate National Dog Day, only for breaking news from Texans-Panthers joint practice to quickly change the conversation. With two Texans players being carted off the practice field, ITL reacts to the injuries continuing to pile up and what the growing concerns could mean with the regular season approaching. The conversation then shifts to the Astros as owner Jim Crane speaks to the media, with the guys reacting to his comments about the organization and its direction moving forward. The first hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What’s a team you wish you could watch one more time?

ITL then goes Around The NFL, reacting to the biggest news, roster moves, and storylines from across the league. The conversation shifts back to Houston as Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans speaks to the media following joint practice with the Carolina Panthers. The guys react to Ryans’ biggest comments and takeaways from another important practice that also brought more injury concerns for Houston. The hour wraps with What’s Popping, covering the biggest trending stories from the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Later, Texans beat writer Jonathan M. Alexander joins In The Loop live from Texans-Panthers joint practice to give his firsthand observations and break down everything he saw on the field. Alexander shares his perspective on the biggest Texans developments and storylines as Houston gets closer to the regular season. The crew then opens the floor for another edition of ITL Lunch-Time Confessions before court is back in session with Judge John Lopez, as the OG hears the biggest sports arguments of the day and delivers his verdicts.

The final hour looks ahead to the NFL season as ITL goes through a list of teams most likely to improve and teams that could take a step back. The guys debate which franchises are ready to make a jump, which could regress, and where the Texans belong in the conversation. The show wraps with Figgy’s Mixtape, as the NFL x Disney collaboration leads Figgy to wonder which Disney character best represents the Houston Texans. Plus, a weatherman gets an uncontrollable case of the giggles on-air and more wild stories to close out the show.
