Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I've been listening to this cat for a while now, and he's the ONLY host
on our local airwaves to tell it like it is. He's on 790 from 10 till noon.
If you've heard this guy's show, let me know what you think about it.
Does he tell it like it is, or does he just happen to share your opinion?
He's certainly not the only honest sports guy on 790, let alone Houston.
I still turn on 610 sometimes but they are so silly on there. I mean stupid silly. It's hard to listen to.
I actually enjoy sports talk most when they take alot of fan phone calls..that peaks my interest most..I don't really care so much for the host's opinion but I do like hearing what the average Joe has to say. The guys that go to the games and spend the bucks. I'd rather hear that then listen to Marc Vandermeer talk about "Vanderkid".
Charlie Palillo goes without saying, and I'm only mentioning Gwynn because
he's new. 790 now has local talk from 6 am all the way to 10 pm. Good
radio, here.
The loss of Andre Ware killed that show, in my opinion.
And the loss of the "Sunday Block Party" killed the station.
Im pretty sure after Gwinns show, there is non local programming, Dan Patrick I believe til Charlie. It sucks because i want a mid day show that doesnt suck......im looking at you 1560 and Ken Hoffman.
Actually a new guy just started yesterday. I didn't get to listen much, but he's worked here before and seems like a tell it like it is guy. Anyways it's local now.
As far as 610 goes yeah they lost it. I mean I don't mind them being homers, but man sometimes it was just hard to stomach. Sometimes they would just gloss over good stuff or give inadequate answers and just meh. BTW John Lopez is being called J-Lo.... really... thats sad.

We will agree to disagree.
I love listening to Palillo, but it sucks that he's more about Baseball and college hoops than he is about pro football
But yeah the guy from 10 till noon is pretty decent. 790 was going through a bunch of static periods for awhile and they had some real buffoons on (I think it was syndicated guys from whatever network 790 is apart of), about 4 or 5 months ago. Nice to see they've hammered it out better.
I don't think you can throw the folks at 1560 into the homer, suck up to the owners crowd. Just sayin.
Am the only one who is getting fed up with 1560. The morning and afternoon programs, have become JIM ROME-like, meaning that there is a steep learning curve filled with inside jokes.
And dont get me started on their midday shows. I find it hard for anyone to find them interesting.
Little Quinn...sux...period. He's like a kindergarten version of Jim Rome.
The dude's not very bright.
If you're in the cubicle crowd (sheep following along with the herd) he's great.
It's stoopid to say everyone is satisfied with this year's results. But it is what it is...
I said 9-7 before the year started and thats what we got. There are too many voids in the Texans roster to sit here and constantly suck your thumb crying about how YOU could do any better.
You couldn't...you can't with the Texans and you can't do better than those you report to at your job. Thats why they da bosses and you punch a clock.
Even John McClain said as much in his column today and by now I would venture to guess that the bloggers out there are puking back up what was written by him again.
Titan Rick? Really?? I haven't listened to this guy yet, but this lets me know all I need to know. Thanks!!Not a big fan of this guy. It has nothing to do with him not being a homer. It seems to me sometimes he disagrees with people just to disagree. He almost seems anti-Houston, just to get a rise out the callers.
Oh, and he thinks Titan Rick, is one of the best callers in sports talk history....he actually said that one day.

He let Titan Rick on Monday after the game, but the 610 guys banned him.
I like an open forum, so you'll hear Titan Rick and Lamont right after him.
Larry in Stafford hasn't been as goods since he doesn't have Andre Ware
and Lesbian Craig to interact with anymore. 610's going down the tubes
like somebody poured Drain-O over their heads.

610 banned him too? Was it for welching like he did on 1560?
What did he welch on? It doesn't surprise me John and Lance would ban
somebody. Way back in the day, when they were on 610, they banned
another hilariously controversial caller named Collie. If ya'll ever heard
that cat, he makes Larry in Stafford sound "layed back."

All of these examples of callers with reputations just bring up something...the callers on sports radio are what makes the shows interesting/funny..however you wish to spin it.
The hosts are just surface to me. I want to hear what the fans say. Even if it is dumb stuff.
Totally disagree. I mean I don't mind hearing differing opinions on stuff but when they get these "glorified" callers calling in, the Titan Rick, the Longhorn Scott, the Collie's, the Brad in Spring Branch, etc. etc. I have no interested at all hearing what these morons have to say and it makes for bad BAD radio. Nothing at all entertaining about ignorance and callers like those have the market cornered on ignorance.

What really gets to me is what he said about a successful business man achieve their mission and if not it is a failure. But I think, uncle Bob seems to me more successful business man than Gwinn and if Bob thinks Kubiak is worth awhile to keep with team as HC, would you believe Gwinn's opinion over Bob's as a successful business decision maker stand point?
I am not protecting Kubiak at all. It is just what Gwinn said about things that gets to me. He sure sounded like he is a successful business man and knows what he is talking about which I do not agree with.
There's so many way to make your company a success. For example, 5 year company project that is completed about 80% after 5 years and you see that this project can be completed in another year, would you quit and start with new manament to take over? Yes, some company may complete project in lesser time table and some takes more. This is strictly Bob's decision and currently he thinks this project can be completed with current management. Only time will tell if this decision was good or not. But Gwinn to question Bob about company decision? To me, it is very weak argument.
Although Gwinn seems like telling his honest opinion, you gotta realize that Gwinn is in media business and you can get more attention by criticizing the Texans and with perhaps higher ratings. So for Gwinn, it is a win win situation.
