The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/02/10

Football season is officially over and that means spring training is right around the corner. Since pitchers and catchers are reporting this week we decided to do an early roster projection. We guess the 6-man-rotation, bullpen and opening day lineup. Who knows what news could disrupt our way too early look into the crystal ball, but we can’t help getting exciting about this upcoming season. With Issac Paredes remaining an Astros are you excited about the options the team is starting the year with

Rockets Remain Intact After Trade Deadline

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/02/06

The Rockets front office said they didn’t want to blow up the young core, and they stayed true to their word as the NBA trade deadline comes and goes with no Rockets roster movement. Normally this would make this podcast happy, but after the demoralizing loss to the Celtics…we’re asking you: what are you thinking about the Rockets going into the All Star Break. We also take a peak at the Astros logjam in the infield and past-Astros pitcher movement. Finally, we look at the memes that Texans have

They world has been wild and Paul’s own little world has been busy, but it’s time for a H-Town check-in after a wild week and a half. We start off with a note on the heartbreak that this country has been facing (for quite some time now) at the hands of the hateful and cowardly, but then we give a quick salve for the sadness: talking about the emotional roller coaster that is being a Houston fan. These Houston teams have taken fans for a tumultuous ride in 2025 and we’re hoping for less bumps in

Texans Winning Streak/Rockets Have A Rough...

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2026/01/16

The holiday break was fantastic for your boy, but it’s time to check back in with your Houston sports teams. The Texans have won 10 games in a row and are set to play the New England Patriots this weekend. After a 30-6 win and a bumbling offensive outing the Texans still bring hope to Paul’s heart. Meanwhile, the Rockets have been going through some big growing pains. Is this just a bump in the road or indicative of something bigger? We think the Rockets will get right after a win against the

Your Houston Texans dominate a game they should have dominated beating the Cards 40-20. We look at a RB stepping up in a big spot. Talk about injuries and our hopes going forward for the rest of the year. Then we talk about the refs…I’m sorry about the Rockets-Nuggets game. I forgot the refs weren’t the star of that show. The Rockets lose in overtime to a great team…but with a little help from a bad call. Then we ask Santa for some help for the Astros this winter. What’s on your Astros Christmas

Texans Look To Keep Momentum Going

2025/12/09

After a week off to eat food and sleep, Paul and Carla are back to talk Texans as they step into the national narrative as KC Destroyers. Let’s not over-react yet, but: what a great win for this team and it keeps the season hopes alive for this football team that started the season so poorly. We also look at the Rockets and talk about which lineup you might prefer. And finally talk about Jake Meyers’ future with the Astros. I hope you all ate well and are very grateful.

Houston Texans Keep Hope Alive

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/11/25

These Houston teams have a lot of fight in them and put it on display this week. The Texans came away with a big win against the Bills at home to keep hopes alive in H-Town. But the Rockets were not able to outlast the Denver Nuggets in NBA Cup Play. Plus, we knew we were Dubi stans in this house; but it seems like all of H-Town poured one out when Mauricio Dubón was traded. So we check-in with what stage of grief our listeners may be in.

Don’t Dubi Like That/Paul’s Picks NFL Week 12

Today’s Paul’s Picks episode is hijacked by the sad news that fan favorite utility gold glove winner Mauricio Dubón is headed to Atlanta in return for SS Nick Allen. But first Paul talks Texans and looks into a foggy crystal ball to see which NFL teams are gonna be winners this week. Then we take a peak at the 10-3 Rockets and their game in Cleveland. And finally get around to looking at the Dubón trade and what we think the Astros ownership and front office are attempting to accomplish. How

The Texans win (even though it left a bad taste in the mouths of Texans fans and Titans defensive-linemen) and the Rockets continue to stay hot with a come-from-behind OT win against the Magic. We talk about the rise to mediocrity for the Texans this season, learn that CJ Stroud is out for another week, and discuss the game. Then we look at the Rockets great win against the Magic in a never-give-up effort that is making many fans excited about the potential for this team. KD, Al-P and…Reed Sheppard

Houston Celebrates Two Come-From-Behind Dubs

Not gonna lie, they had us in the beginning…the Texans and the Rockets both put on fourth quarter shows for fans of the H on Sunday. The Houston Texans have declared that their season is not dead yet with a 36-29 win. They are now 4-5 and have hope to turn this season around. How hopeful are you feeling H-Town? And then to keep the party going the Rockets had their own fourth quarter come back to beat the Bucks 122-115. (The Rox also lost to the Spurs in their NBA Cup group match but we don’t wanna

It’s Thursday or Wednesday, so you know what that means: it’s time for Paul’s Picks. This week Paul does know what day of the week it is (maybe) and we go through the NFL lines and games to try to pick the winners. The Texans season is on the line this week as they matchup against divisional rival Jacksonville. Is it delusional to have hope still? Or is the season over now that we officially have the panic meter out? We also look back at a lack-luster season to see how we stack up compared to your

Texans Lose, Rockets Streak

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/11/05

The Houston Texans are now 3-5 after struggling to score in a 18-15 loss to the Broncos. CJ Stroud will be out for at least one week and the Texans are in a bind, because they’re way behind but Nick Caserio wasn’t willing to make a deal. Luckily, we can also talk about the Houston Rockets. The Rox are on a 4 game winning streak-after a slightly slow start-and it looks like there is still some hope in Houston. Also, the Houston Astros are looking to hire Victor Rodriguez to be a hitting coach in

Baseball season is officially over, free agency is about to begin and it’s time to get into your emotions as we look back at the Houston Astros 2025 season. We try to be even-keeled and laid-back over here, but this episode we go hunting for a scapegoat for what happened last year! We take a look at the usual suspects and rank them for who this pod blames the most. We’re putting the season to rest and ready to start thinking about the promise of next year.

Texans Beat Short-handed Niners

The reverse jinx (that I totally intended…) worked and the Texans were able to win 25-15 at home. We look at the numbers a bit and look back at the game. We also talk about the negativity that has surrounded the Texans the last week. The Rockets lost a physical game to Detroit and apparently there is still some baseball still going on.
