Battle Red Radio

After five months of searching and searching and searching, the Houston Texans finally found their head coach, a man with 27 years of NFL coaching experience, 41 years of coaching experience, who had never been seriously considered for a NFL head coaching job, the one and only....DAVID CULLEY. Yes. DAVID CULLEY. It's going to keep getting worse before it gets better. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt, TIM, and the legend himself Rivers McCown, along with two other mysterious guests, hop on the podcast to discuss the David Culley hiring, his introductory press conference, and the ongoing Deshaun Watson dilemma. Topics include: the man holding the gun behind the camera, COWARD McNair; vision, communication, connecting with people, juice, positive energy, and all the beautiful things David Culley brings to the Houston Texans; Deshaun Watson trade ideas, 2021 Houston Texans quarterbacks, and a return to the bottom, that warm and loving place that Houston Texans fans know all too well.

I'm starting to stink. My body reeks. Arm pits ovulating and spreading their sweaty seeds. Crust and grime latching to polyester. Bright and blue Buffalo is turning green. MY Josh Allen became OUR Josh Allen. The jersey is starting to revolt, molt, and grow mold. One more week became two weeks. A win this week makes it two more. Let's go. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview the Conference Championships of the 2020 NFL season. Topics include: grading the head coach hires, the COWARD of the week, saying goodbye to Drew Brees, what we learned last week, Josh Allen v. Patrick Mahomes, why Kansas City's defense had success against Buffalo earlier this year, Allen's deep pass problems, the BAYS, Tampa Bay and Green Bay deep passing, Devin White's insatiable thirst for flesh, big blitzing, interior rushing, play action passing, and, of course, our Championship Round picks.

The last time we spoke the Texans had just hired Nick Caserio to be their newest general manager. Since then the whispers into ears have only grown louder, and now, everyone knows. Deshaun Watson is unhappy. The Texans are quietly seeing what they could get for Watson. Watson was involved with the interview Houston had with Eric Bienemy. Watson was not involved with the interview Houston had with Eric Bienemy. The only way to salvage this thing is for Cal McNair to step down. The bridge has been torched. There’s nowhere else to go. On this episode of Battle Red Radio: Matt Weston and Diehard Chris gossip about the newest gossip. Topics include: if Watson has played his last game in Houston, if Watson will formally request a trade, what changed from last year to this year, why Watson isn’t without blame, how our fandom will change if he’s traded, the favorite to become the newest head coach, and of course, your beautiful and wonderful listener questions. Let’s start the show. While you’re at it, give it a fi

Here it is. Grand and beautiful and outrageous. The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, that perfect weekend, the most wonderful weekend in sports. Four splattering and incredible games.

On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview the AFC Divisional Round of the 2020 NFL season.

For one weekend, just one weekend, we all wanted the Houston Texans to sit back and be normal. No more Cal McNair metaphors, rambling and disconnected to the average American. Leaked reports halted to a standstill. Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter, and Pro Football Talk, worried about other ways to get their hits. We just wanted to watch actual good football, all-time playoff football, after seventeen weeks of obscene nonsense. Even that was too much to ask for. Nick Caserio this. Omar Khan that. Jack Easterby putting it all together. If this news could be tuned out, there was still fun and beautiful playoff football, because like I always say, football is still good, even when the Texans are bad and dumb. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and friend of the podcast SmoothGrandma review the Wild Card Round of the 2020 NFL Playoffs. Topics include: the newest Houston Texans drama, Josh Allen losing his frontal lobe and almost blowing Buffalo’s win over the Colts, Mike Vrabel and Mike Tomlin’s fourth down

The Houston Texans hired a search firm to help them find a new general manager. They ignored each one of them. Instead they fulfilled their summer 2018 bloodlust by getting the guy they wanted then, but by doing so, it upset Deshaun Watson since he wasn’t part of the process, and Houston opted to not interview the head coach he wanted. So in the meantime Houston sits in a limbo with an upset top five quarterback who is the franchise, hanging in Mexico, drinking fancy drinks with umbrellas in his cup, as Houston tries to sort out who will be their next head coach. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt, TIM, and the legend himself Rivers McCown, hop on the podcast to discuss the Nick Caserio hiring, the press conference, and the impending Texans head coaching search. Topics include: Caserio being loved by 31 other franchises, Deshaun Watson’s disgruntlement, Jack Easterby’s coat closet and the secrets he keeps in there, our favorite moments from the press conference, and who ends up as the next Texans head

A continuation of the conversation Matt Weston, TIM, and Rivers McCown’s had regarding the Nick Caserio hiring, along with what Houston should do with Brandin Cooks, if the Texans should clean house entirely, Julie’n Davenport memorabilia, and J.J.

I was a NFC boy. I loved Marshall Faulk's giant white mouthpiece and the Rams bright yellow and blue swirls the same colors as my elementary school, Brett Farve taught me how to love football, Tampa Bay's pirate ship gave me Warren Sapp nightmares, and . The AFC seemed to adult, too professional, too serious. Rich Gannon, Tim Brown, and Jerry Rice were old. The Patriots were foreign. Peyton Manning, disgusting. The Steelers, horrifying, stealing a Super Bowl from Seattle. Then the Houston Texans came around. Then I became a man. And now I'm an AFC man who spends three hours a Sunday watching Deshaun Watson, and sucking down the Titans, Bills, Chargers, and as much as I can on Sunday night. Yet, when I watch the NFC I think about the past, the way things were, and what I have now become as I've sailed through course of time. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview the NFC Wildcard Round of the 2020 NFL season. Topics include: John Wolford's offense, Seattle playing down to

You call yourself a sports fan? Huh. Do you! Do you actually dare call yourself one? If so, you better be watching the NFL Playoffs this weekend. Look, I know the Texans are absurd, and stupid, and insane, but football is still good and beautiful even though the Texans are bad and dumb. So press play before you hit the couch to prove that YOU, YEAH YOU, are an actual real sports fan. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview the AFC Wildcard Round of the 2020 NFL season. Topics include: Josh Allen v. the Colts in my own personal Super Bowl, January Philip Rivers, previous Baltimore-Tennessee clashes, the Titans awful defense, the odds the Browns are facing, and Ben Roethlisberger’s fountain of Keysone Light.

Yes, the Texans 2020 NFL season sucked in a thousand different ways, and losing an incredible season from Deshaun Watson because of O’Brien’s insidious decisions is disgusting and devastating, but it was necessary, so this franchise could move on and move forward to play the games it should be playing with a quarterback like Watson, instead of wasting away and rotting to the tunes of 9-7 and Divisional Round playoff exits. The sacrifice was necessary for a grander and more beautiful future. Don’t cry because it happened. Smile because it’s over. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and TIM review the Texans 2020 NFL Season. Topics include: the perfect end to the 2020 NFL Season, the poetic end to the Bill O'Brien era, Deshaun Watson cementing himself as a top five quarterback, saying something positive for once, young talent development, what to do with Brandin Cooks and Will Fuller, the Texans coach and general manager search, hanging out ad talking about our favorite football team, and of course, your

We did it. We made it through all of it. An 0-4 start. The firing of Bill O'Brien. The things we always wanted coming to fruition. Deshaun Watson carrying a terrible football team to a lot of close losses. Beating the Jacksonville Jaguars twice. And, now, another unbelievable, crucial, and wonderful loss to the newest AFC South Champions, the Tennessee Titans. It's not over yet though. No. Although the Texans season has come to an end, football, football is just beginning. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and his good friend Taylor, discuss a wide variety of things: Houston v. Tennessee, the typical NFL Season Awards, Black Monday, and take a peek at the 2020 NFL Playoff matchups. Topics include: another Texans Texans loss, Derrick Henry 2K, Laremy Tunsil trade ramifications, Anthony Weaver's last gasp, MVP votes and awards of that nature, where the Houston job ranks, and what we get to look forward to next season. Let’s start the show. While you’re at it, give it a five star review and subsc

As I enter the next stage of my life, I have worked at being more selfless. Trying to provide more for others. Chip in whenever I can. Bring up those around me. Create instead of take. These are all positives. The pluses are romanticized in our society. Yet there is something to be said about not being a negative. Rather than drag the rest down with your own filth, creation, and fear of decimation, being strong and stable and keeping your head down while you do what you need to do has value too. So, rather than drag others down to hell with me to discuss the Texans 31-37 loss to the Bengals, I played Mike Meltser, and did it all myself. And, yes, the men in white lab coats are my new best friends. Why did you ask? It seemed like a valid question at the time. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston discusses the Texans one possession win-loss record, Deshaun Watson’s newest great game, the Brandin Cooks dilemma, Houston’s skeleton offensive line and Laremy Tunsil’s value, Keion Crossen waving his arms

There are plenty of football podcasts. Ones produced by the NFL itself, major media publications, fantasy football psychopaths, Pro Football Focus freaks, and of course, those by people like us. But this one is different. Because this is our podcast. Our podcast where we talk about our favorite football team and preview the upcoming week. And like the Christmas tree in your living room, or the wreath on your front door, or the letter you wrote your beautiful girlfriend, or the crimson bow you picked, or the stocking with your name on it, there’s nothing more special than this, because this one is yours, just like Battle Red Radio. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview Week Sixteen of the 2020 NFL season. Topics include: being proud of Baker Mayfield, the current NFL playoff picture, the difference between Jaylen Hurts and Carson Wentz, Dwayne Haskins sniffing, arguing about the Los Angeles Rams, and Mr. December. Let’s start the show. While you’re at it, give it a five

Two weeks ago we thought we found the bottom, the dumbest possible way the Houston Texans could lose to the Indianapolis Colts had been found. Nick Martin scuffling a snap across the turf while simultaneously missing his block giving Grover Stewart a path to the ball couldn’t be topped. Then this week happen. The same thing. The same situation again. It wasn’t a question of if the Texans would lose, but how dumb they would do it. Somehow, they nearly surpassed their previous buffoonery. Keke Coutee was tackled from behind after breaking a tackle and turning up to tie the game, only to be stripped, and for the Colts to recover in the endzone. The bottom is infinite. There are no limits to the misery the soul can experience, or, in this case, our favorite football team can inflict upon those who dare to love it. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston, bigfatdrunk, and Scott, discuss Houston’s newest stupid loss to the Colts while simultaneously envisioning the future. Topics include: where this loss r

Laremy Tunsil was dreaming of sunny days in Mexico. Tytus Howard was thinking about hotel rooms. Zach Cunningham was occupied with visions of snorkeling in the Caribbean. Justin Reid was saving his shoulders for a 2021 backcountry camping trip. Max Scharping was drooling over lifting weights again. The Texans were empty and listless, filled with nothingness. Lackadaisical. Putrid. It was all Deshaun Watson trying to carry this husk against Chicago, and he was splattered across the field as a result. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and Joe converse about the Texans hideous 36-7 loss to the Chicago Bears. Topics include looking back on the 2017 NFL Draft, why Mitch Trubisky had it so easy, why Deshaun Watson had it so tough, if there’s anything left to salvage from Max Scharping who was benched for Brent Qvale, Anthony Weaver’s bed post, the Eric Murray contract, holding out for Kahale Warring, and, of course, your beautiful and wonderful listener questions. Let’s start the show. While you’re

There’s an Outback Steakhouse at the Outlet Mall that I’ll always call home. It’s more than just a chain restaurant from Dallas that finagles Australian culture by screaming Down UNDAH at you when you call and make an unnecessary reservation, provides bread that looks like a forgotten potato, or feeds you a pretty tasty Ribeye that will leave you feeling like a shark who swallowed a license plate and an old boot the following day. It’s more than your tastebuds. The food will slog its way through the winding road of your guts and leave your butt eventually. Your mouth will be cleansed by a holy Foster’s Ale. This is more than that. It’s about the memory, the feeling, the sour face woman in red in the booth adjacent to you, those are the things you can keep forever. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt and his good friend Taylor preview Week Fourteen of the 2020 NFL season. Topics include the beautiful woman in the front row, revisiting this week’s Power Rankings, Steph Stradley’s question, DeAndre Hopkins

The Houston Texans are a lot of things: football team, business, a collection of individuals, tough, smart, dependable, but most of all, their stupid, and every once in a while this cauldron of stupidity boils over, and the universe unleashes the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen, something so stupid that it precedes the previous stupid thing. This time it was Nick Martin’s skipping snap at the two yard line. There’s no way it can get any stupider than this. But if there’s a will there’s a way, and this franchise always finds a way. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Matt Weston and BigFatDrunk review Houston’s newest loss to the Indianapolis Colts to the tune of 26-20. Topics include: does Nick Martin dream of a flying Sage Rosenfels (?), Deshaun Watson’s middle of the field throws, the CHAD Hansen game, Kahale Warring’s almost touchdown catch, Houston’s pass protection problems, the years of child support T.Y. Hilton owes, Chaz Green’s banana stand, and, of course, your beautiful and perfect listener quest
