Switch to 790 in the afternoons. Vandermeer is worthless.
Over the last few days it has been impossible to hear sports talk here in Houston without hearing the phrase "Houston is the only Texas team in the playoffs that has won a game so far!" about every 15 minutes.
I'm waiting for them to break out the "Hakeen schooled David Robinson in '95" comments in the next segment. Maybe we will even get a "We were up 2-0 on the Mavs a few years ago" comment. My favorite line so far has been that no team can beat them if Yao and TMac are healthy.
Don't feel bad Dallas fans about planning your parade after the second game of the Finals, because Rockets fans (or at least their media) are doing it after the second game of the first round.

Houston is the bandwagoningest sports town I've ever seen. Back in 05 I got to watch the city throw dirt on the 'Stros grave and then suddenly become "diehard" fans when they managed to get to the World Series.
But you do have to cut Houston sports radio some slack. Since Brad Lidge isn't closing any more they have to find new topics besides, "Lidge blew another save. Is it time to change closers?"
What the are you talking about? If you don't like what is being said in the freaking media, then don't listen or watch.
They aren't so bandwagonish about the Astros now. Ordinary people seem to care even in April now.
Drayton McLane needs to thank Bob McNair for running such a miserable, inept operation that a major Texas city follows baseball over football now.
Vandermeer only has a job on 610 because he works for the miserable piece-of-crap football team that plays in Houston.
Palillo is the one to listen to. 790 on your dial.
It's not just Vandermeer. Rich Lord has been getting in his Vince Young man-crush mode over the last few days for the Rockets. I've heard that 790 dropped ESPN and went all local recently, so I'll give them a try.
At least I can get WOAI out in Katy...
You mean they have run out of gas for their "We passed on Vince Young AND Reggie Bush" topics? I love living here in Houston, but I swear these people will never get over that.
Rock and Roll, Houston Texans!
John and Lance in the mornings are much more objective towards the Texans that Vandermeer will ever be.
They never will get over it, because Vince Young plays in the division, and will annually put a beat-down on the perennially 4-12 worthless excuse for a franchise with which Houston was cursed, in the stadium the taxpayers were bilked to build.
John Granato has trouble talking since he had all his teeth removed to facilitate his interview style.Rock and Roll, Houston Texans!
John and Lance in the mornings are much more objective towards the Texans that Vandermeer will ever be.
Too bad you live out in Katy and can't pick up Mike & Mike on 97.5 in the morning.
I like 610..I especially like the Mario Elie hour every Wednesday...
As opposed to calling them out for ridiculous homer statements?
If I actually gave a damn about the Texans I've probably still be fuming over that draft up. But hope is on the horizon! They've got a QB who, um, err, uh...wait! He played under Michael Vick! Surely he learned something from that!
At least they tried something. You can't accuse them of fiddling while Rome burns. I think their move was more akin to playing the accordion.
Makes me glad I'm moving out to Ft Bend Co., unless Uncle Bob and Uncle Drayton can get to me out there too.
Houston GTG sometime this playoffs? First round on me.
The Houston sports community is losing its best mind with Carol Dawson stepping down for the Rockets. Hopefully they won't become as hopelessly inept in the FO as the Texans or Astros, although Tim P. made some decent moves this offseason. Finally.
Better yet, don't listen to any of it because I can't stand Houston radio... I don't know if you guys heard yet, but Matt Schaub is already a 2008 Pro Bowl QB
and they shouldn't either.
You mean Mike Schwab? Half the fans here can't say his name right.
I will say this about Houston sports fans, whom I consider great neighbors but horrible frontrunners: They put their money behind the Texans. Waiting lists for PSLs/Season Tickets and near capacity crowds at most games. They keep coming back year after year of getting kicked in the 'nads by an inept FO.
Why? Continual ing isn't going to put Vince or Reggie in a Texans uniform. They are not going to have a draft "do over". Live with it.
I have been streaming some houston and dallas sports talk over the past few days...
What is a good SA station?>
who gives a shiit what they say, move to san antonio and stfu
SFIE and I might be interested in a get together, but tomorrow is definitely out. Maybe this weekend?
I don't mind Vandemeer, but I know next to nothing about football. I've got diehard Astros fans in my office who bandwagons the Rockets, and a couple of Dallas sports fans. So it's never dull. I've heard a lot this week so far about how Houston/SA in the Conf. Finals would be great because not only did Dallas lose, but SA will too (because of Yao and McGrady, naturally, but it's also a great time to bring up '95).
I'm jealous that you get WOAI, sandman. I hate having to listen to other team's commentators via League Pass. Annoying. I will say that Houston was pretty supportive of both SA and Dallas in the last two years at their Finals runs. At least my radio station (not Sports radio) was, which was sort of nice.
yeah the Houston Texans are not as good as the San Antonio OHH, yeah......you guys don't have the NFL........just a wet dream fantasy of acquiring N.O. Saints
We also have the Houston Astros which are better than the S.A. OHH, yeah no MLB either.
