Welcome back to the only NFL picks show with the guts to admit it’s a comedy show! Come and laugh with me as I try to win my friends Sleeper league and I attempt to make weekly picks and hold myself accountable to them. How are you doing this season, fam? I also talk about the Rockets great start to the season and last but not least: Astros Winter Hot Stove begins and we start throwing out names to dream about, look at some comments from GM Dana Brown and start speculating about next season.Vamos

Houston Celebrates Two Come-From-Behind Dubs

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/11/11

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

Paul’s Picks NFL Week 10 - ‘25

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/11/07

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

The Scapegoat 2025

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/11/04

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. How would you rank the ‘scapegoats’? Who do

I finally had a good week and you think that’d boost my confidence, but I’m too timid to be getting too spicy…we need wins not takes! We take a look at the matchups and do our best.

Texans Beat Short-handed Niners

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/10/27

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. Also in breaking sports news: gambling is may not be the most straightforward way to make money…and it may be crooked. *gasp*Vamos vamos Houston Get full access to

2025/10/23

And we’re back with more NFL picks in this never ending comedy bit that is Paul trying to pick the winners. Last week was unkind and forgettable, so we’re hoping to turn the corner and get a double digit win week. Easier said than done. We also go spiraling about the Houston Texans season so far and all the emotions that it has brought to the surface for fans. How are you holding up, H-Town?

Rocket Impress But Drop Opener vs OKC

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/10/22

The Houston Rockets are ready to make some noise in the NBA this season. They showed up to give us an amazing season opener. And even though they lost, there is a strong sense of optimism for this team if this is how they’re gonna play. We look at the Rox game and then sadly take a look at our Houston Texans dropping a less-than-optimistic game against the Seattle Seahawks. This offense needs some help. We then finish off with a little baseball as the Astros signed a potential starting pitcher. (Not

Paul’s Picks - NFL Week 7

2025/10/16

Another week of football and another week of Paul’s Picks. This season has been…inconsistent here at Paul’s Picks and we’re looking to steady the ship with another week of double digits wins. So, why is Paul picking with his gut so much? Ay caramba, it’s gonna be a long season if our host doesn’t fix his gut soon. We pick all the (hopeful) winners, talk some Texans, check in with the Rockets, and tease an Astros off-season podcast episode to come soon!Vamos vamos Texans Get full access to Space

Astros Clean House & Paul’s Picks!

2025/10/09

Jim Crane and the Houston Astros have been evaluating everybody! (I hope they don’t evaluate this podcast…) And so far some big names have been let go: hitting coaches Alex Cintron and Troy Snitker. As well as their Head Athletic Trainer. We look at who’s staying and who’s going so far on this busy Astros news day. Then we look ahead to this NFL week (and try to forget the NFL picks from last week…) and pick the winners in Paul’s Picks.Vamos vamos Houston Get full access to Space Cadet Sports at

Are The Texans Turning Their Season Around?

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/10/08

The Houston Texans were able to get their first win in the history of the franchise in Baltimore this past week. Is the 44-10 win enough to inspire hope for the Texans season? Could this be a sign of good things to come for the O-Line and offense, or is this just trying to get our collective hopes up!? The Texans spread the ball around and had a humming offense and their defense has been stellar, let’s get into it!Vamos vamos Houston Get full access to Space Cadet Sports at

Astros Roller Coaster Season Ends In September

The Space Cadet Sports Podcast - A Houston Sports Show ·

2025/10/01

It was an awful end to the Astros season, H-Town. If you told me at the beginning of the season that the Astros would have the same win-loss record as the Detroit Tigers…I would have paid money to make sure that would be possible. But, alas, the Astros fell one game short of the playoffs and the emotional roller coaster ends in a valley. Luckily for Astros fans and Australians everywhere: Positive Paul is here for you.

Now that we’re not sick over here, we’re returning to Paul’s Picks. We talk some Texans and pick our winners and then we check in with the Houston Astros. The week has not gotten much better, tbh…but somehow they are still in it at this moment.

Houston Sports Rapture Occurs

2025/09/23

It feels like all of the good feelings about Houston sports have disappeared and we are all left behind…What happened this week and should we all be panicking in the Houston sports world? We try to figure that out this week and even get to talk to the most depressed sports fan in Houston: Yorey. The Astros are fighting for their lives, the Texans need a win and the Rockets are injured before the season starts…oh boy. Your toxic positivity podcast host is here for you though.

Issac Paredes Is Back For Astros

2025/09/19

What a week it’s been since we’ve last pod. The Astros swept the Rangers, and kept the boot in Houston for the 9th straight year. The Astros lost Yordan to injury and are announcing today that Paredes is set to return to the team. (And the Texans lose a MNF game and don’t shake any allegations made about the team this offseason.) The Astros are tied with the Seattle Mariners for first in the AL West and believe it or not this die-hard Astros fan really likes the Astros chances of winning this

Our first Monday Morning this season and what a bummer it is. The Texans lose to the Rams 9-14. The Astros struggles continue (yet they still maintain first place of the AL West) and my Paul’s Picks…well, maybe I should have let co-producer Carla make the picks this season.

Astros Split Series…AL West Footrace Continues

2025/09/02

A series split is pretty mid, but at least the Astros are still somehow in first place in the AL West. We take a look back at a Labor Day weekend series against the Angels and find the good and the bad. We also look at the Astros vs Yankees pitching matchups, spiral out of control with a dog on our lap and sneak a peak at the Houston Texans week 1 offensive line depth chart.
