Houston Overtime: Pro Football

Brandon Scott has thoughts on the full NBA Christmas Day slate, plus a bonus take on the NBA-NFL Christmas "rivalry." Plus, why the Texans' winning streak ends at seven games when they travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers. Support the show

The Rockets have dropped four of their last five games and three of those have come against the worst teams in the Western Conference after Tuesday night's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. They get a chance to perform in front of another national audience, this time on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Lakers. The game feels like it carries more weight than before, given how both teams are playing recently. Also, four Texans were named to the Pro Bowl this week. Who was snubbed?The B-Block is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.B.Scott breaks it all down here.

Brandon Scott reacts to the Houston Rockets' 115-101 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Kevin Durant had 31 points on 14 shots and talked a lot of trash to the Nuggets. But it was Reed Sheppard's 28 points on 15 shots off the bench that stood out just as much. Sheppard's six assists, three steals and two blocks had an incredible impact on the game. What was clear from it is that he's the Rockets' best point guard on the team right now.

Brandon Scott is joined by Ron "The Show" Hughley of SportsRadio 610 to discuss the Rockets losing to the Nuggets in overtime and Ime Udoka's reaction to the officiating; Alperen Sengun's step into the superstar stratosphere; what happened to the Kansas City Chiefs this year; and what kind of contender are the Texans. The B-Block podcast is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.

Brandon Scott has five Texans players or position groups to acknowledge after Sunday's 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also looks around the league at devastating ACL injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons.The B-Block podcast is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.

There's a lot of talk about Sherrone Moore's felony home invasion and domestic stalking case potentially making it harder on future Black coaches. To whatever degree this may be true, Brandon Scott says we shouldn't be having this conversation in front of company (as he does so in front of company), really to point out how racism exists before and after Moore. He is not the cautionary tale, nor should the burden of "curing" racism ever be on whoever is under its boot. Also, B.Scott gives his takeaways from the Diddy documentary on Netflix, specifically threading the needle on Tupac's killing in 1996.

Veteran sports journalist Kim Davis joins Brandon Scott to discuss the Houston Texans' season, how they've turned it around and what still needs to improve. They also discuss this historic defense that's allowed them to win five straight games. Plus, what's going on with Houston-area native Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles? And should it have really taken this long to identify Shedeur Sanders at the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback?

The Houston Texans handled business on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs with a 20-10 win on Sunday Night Football. The defense was relentless and offensively, they made plays when they really needed them. Brandon Scott goes over the defensive battle and the Texans taking the lunch of the former AFC powerhouses. They beat the Ravens, Bills and Chiefs all in one season. Also, stay tuned for B.Scott's player of the game toward the end of the episode. The B-Block podcast is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.

Brandon Scott, who grew up a Texas fan, is not here for the whining and politicking to get them into the College Football Playoff. If they make it, congratulations, but they don't necessarily "deserve" to get in just because they dared to open the season on the road against Ohio State. B.Scott explains why these arguments are embarrassing. He also weighs in on the Lane Kiffin vs. Ole Miss spectacle that was kind of hilarious, professionalism be damned.

Reed Sheppard had 31 points on TWENTY-FIVE (!!) shots in the Rockets' win on the road against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. Brandon Scott didn't even want to get his Thanksgiving started without talking about it first.

The Texans host the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football, without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud for their third straight game. ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime joined B.Scott on the podcast to discuss the state of the .500 Texans, sitting at 5-5 going into this pivotal game against a tough opponent on a short week. Are the Texans just mid? Are they actually good? How's Nick Caley doing as first-year offensive coordinator? What about some of their new weapons, both young and old? Where do they fall in the AFC wild card race pecking order. They discuss all of it here.

C.J. Stroud did not participate in Monday's walkthrough at Texans practice, which makes it seem less likely that he will play Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Brandon Scott says they could win the game even without Stroud. Subscribe to The B-Block podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

The Houston Rockets rallied from down 14 points to beat the Orlando Magic in overtime on Sunday night. They did it behind Kevin Durant's 35 points and a clutch shot by Alperen Sengun to send the game into overtime. Also, it may have been boring in Tennessee, but a win is a win. It seemed for a while like the Texans might blow an opportunity to beat the worst team in football, but a last-second field goal put them ahead in the end. Brandon Scott is here reacting to it all with you on The B-Block.

If the Texans recover this season, they will have their backup quarterback, shuffled offensive line and slumping edge rusher to thank.

It was a beatdown by the Texans in Baltimore. An all-around performance by the offense and defense, setting the Texans up at 2-3 going into the bye week. Brandon Scott explains why this was a major win for Houston's first-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley, the offensive line and a defense that continues to show up.The B-Block podcast is a partnership with Foolish Club media.

 The Houston Texans have no excuses against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and it's not just because Lamar Jackson's officially been ruled out with a hamstring injury.The Ravens defense is Swiss cheese and the version of it the Texans will face could be even worse. These are mostly the backups to one of the worst defenses in the league. It's a unique opportunity for the Texans, who Brandon Scott is picking to win 27-24 and improve to 2-3 at the bye week.Subscribe to The B-Block podcast wherever you get your podcasts.The B-Block is a partnership with Foolish Club Media.

It stinks here in Houston, more than usual. That horrible smell is coming from the Texans' offense, which does a poor job of getting to the red zone and does not cash in the rare times it does get there. Don't allow them releasing safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to throw you off the scent of what's really wrong with this team. Brandon Scott has them beating the Titans, but that's more about the Titans than the Texans. The B-Block is a Foolish Club Media production.

The Texans' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams left a lot to be desired. It doesn't exactly get easier for them in the home opener on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Houston has its hands full, with Tampa's defensive front, with Baker Mayfield and strong group of weapons. Brandon Scott breaks down the matchup, but not before he bemoans the fact that his college football teams don't look very good at the moment.

The Texas Longhorns lost to the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes in what should come as a surprise to no one.

Gardner-Johnson back and continue life without Joe Mixon. #texas #texasfootball #archmanning #ncaa #ncaafootball #lsu #clemsonfootball #texans #houstontexans #houston #houstontx #nfl #football
