Speaking for Sport

It's a miracle ice even exists in Houston, and yet we still feel we deserve an NHL team? You bet we do! This week we talk about the possibility of a Houston NHL franchise and the history of hockey in the space city!

Zipp's back from his bout with Omicron and ready to wrap up an abysmal Texans season, including the rumored next head coach, Roy Lopez's rookie season, and new USFL and XFL teams coming to Houston.

Thespian Papi himself joins the program to discuss the Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers wild card round matchup. In addition to that, the fellas review the Cowboys' win over the Eagles, grill up a ridiculous Black Monday firing and review how their regular season predictions played out.

It's 2022 and Zipp starts the year off right by sleeping through his first assignment. He also talks about the College Football Playoffs, the Rockets, and John Madden. 

Tre Blanco is fired up after the Dallas Cowboys A) won the division before their matchup and B) blew out the Washington Football Team. They start by recapping the game including a very argumentative edition of Daniel's Negatives where Blanco believes no negatives should be stated. Julien's Hot Take of the Week leads them into previewing the matchup with the Arizona Cardinals and finally the best ending to the show of all time. 

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.
