This week, Justin Verlander's new contract is official, the Rocket's red glare has dimmed considerably, and Covid is back in sports! Was it ever really gone? 

Also, Zipp thinks Alex Caruso's name is Jason. Doesn't he seem like a Jason, though?

The fellas talk about the crazy year in college football's coaching carousel, what it means for the players, what it means for the future of the game and if its a problem the NCAA can or should fix. Then, D.R. shreds Brian Kelly during "Is This Your King?"  

Despite the recent win versus the New Orleans Saints and a four-interception day for the defense, the fellas were not impressed with the Cowboys performance. They detail their concerns with the Boys during Daniel's Negatives, address a budding concern with Ezekiel Elliott's play during Julien's Hot Take and preview the next matchup with the Washington Football Team. 

Joined by friend of the program, Mariana Mariana Ciddeleon Ovalle, D.R. and Daniel usher in the new intro-era of A Mid-Week's Take by talking about Dave Chappelle and his latest comedy special, The Closer. They address what jokes crossed the line and why, Chappelle's larger point and the history of transphobic media content in the United States.

This week, baseball is locked out, the Rockets are hot, and the Texans are ice cold.

Just a whole episode of D.R, Daniel and King Julien eviscerating one Aaron Rodgers lie after another following his weird COVID saga. 

On account of Thanksgiving Zipp is sharing his favorite Houston sports memories including a bloody minor league Hockey fight, the 'End Game' of Astros baseball, and the time Turbo and Clutch came to his middle school.

Following a third loss on the season for the Dallas Cowboys, the fellas have to find their energy to prepare for Thanksgiving matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders -- in which they don't discuss. Instead, they go over Daniel's Negatives from the loss to the Chiefs, the ever-shifting offensive line including a crazy theory on Connor Williams from Daniel and finally close with discussing their chances at the one seed and handling the end of the year. 

Frankly this episode is old. One of the weeks, we recorded and D.R. didn't edit. But lucky for you guys, it was so good we put it up anyway. So ignore the fact that they talked about the New York Mets and their war against the fans but the baseball season is already over. Ignore the fact, that three other Urban Meyer scandals have occurred since the one they talked about on this episode and ignore the fact that all of Thespian Papi's references to his upcoming projects have already occurred (okay that part isn't new).

Zipp's back from a much needed mental break from Houston sports; but now that the Astros' season is officially over things are going to go back to being real shitty again.
