January 23, 2007 SHOW!!
As always, Pardon the Raheel Ramzanali is the exclusive home of The Tuesday Morning Longhorn Roundup.
This week on the show, we talked about the playoffs, minority coaches in the NFL and how the NFL should not be tooting their own horn about having two African American coaches in the Super Bowl, UT Men’s Basketball and the NBA breakdown!
Due to technical issues, we could not get the S.E.X segment on the podcast but to make up for it, we put up the Intro for the segment.
On next week’s show, we will look at the line for the Super Bowl and give some free picks. In addition, we will also have pro NBA trainer Coach David Thorpe. He will talk about the best guards in the league, Kevin Durant vs. Greg Oden as the No.1 pick and much more! Enjoy the SHOW!!!!

T-mac Hater??
So after the Rockets dismantling of the Lakers, I got a few text messages depicting me as a T-mac hater. That is the last thing I am. In fact, I think T-mac is a good player but just think Kobe is a better player because he is more consistent. Many people also label me as a Rockets hater but that is not true. The Rockets have given me the happiest moments of my life. As a matter of fact, if you listen to the Tuesday Morning Longhorn at all, you know I picked the Rockets to make it to the Western Conference Finals with a HEALTHY T-Mac and Yao Ming. The proof is attached below in the podcast. I still stick to this because with a healthy Yao and T-Mac, the Rockets are a very efficient and dangerous team. So please stop making it seem like you need to rub it into my face every time the Rockets win or T-Mac does well. I am happy that the Rockets are doing so well right now without Yao because this is a tough stretch for them. If the Rockets even finish .500 in the games Yao misses, they will be okay.

So Who Do You Root For?
Ever since I started working at KVRX and hosting my sports shows, I learned the important lesson of being unbiased. After spending a year in San Antonio, I started rooting for the Spurs. But now when they lose, it does not hurt. (The only team I am bias for are all the Longhorns' teams...I feel like crap when they lose.) I do not have ONE team that I can make mine and that's one thing I hate about my job. I wish I could argue about my team with other passionate fans and be a homer. I love getting in sports debates for the sake of debate and trying to improve my skills but I never do it as a homer.
I root for a lot of players and don't mind it all when people call me a "bandwagon fan" because it is hard for me to be a fan. I love watching Kobe Bryant play because of his work ethic and his passion to win. I love AI because he never stops with the grind. I love seeing good basketball in the NBA. I think the NBA is the best league in the world and has the best athletes. I am a journalist at the end of the day when it comes to basketball so I try to be unbiased as much as I can.

Football Roundup
Never Doubt Them
I was one of those idiots that picked the Jets to beat the Patriots on Sunday. Boy did I doubt the Patriots. They dominated the Jets in every manner and showed the young Jets that they are still a few years away from making a strong run in the playoffs. Coming into the season the Patriots were getting cocky about their "team concept" and that they could plug in anyone into the system. I thought this was going to bite them in the butt this week but it did not. For crying out loud, the Patriots made Jabar Gaffney into a go to receiver. JABAR FREAKING GAFFNEY!!
If you are a Texans' fan then you know how bad Gaffney is. Even though they beat the Jets and ManGenius, they will not beat the Chargers next week. This goes against my No. 1 rule in the NFL playoffs, A first time playoff QB's team will not win a game. For some reason (the Patriots are not fast enough on defense), I think LT will open up some easy throwing lanes for Rivers.
Tony OH-NO!!!
"Tony Romo will guide us to the playoffs...He is the greatest QB ever...yes even better than Troy Aikman"...That was Cowboy fan on Thanksgiving day when Tony Romo had a great game against the less than impressive Bucs. Now, Cowboy fan hates Romo because he blew the season. A first time playoff QB will not win a playoff game for his team! The rule holds up once again!
How bad must it feel to have your season end on a botched snap! I really hate the Cowboys because I am a Texans fan but in all honesty, the Cowboys have a bright future. Tony OHNO will come in as the starter and get more time to get down routes with his players during camp. The Cowboys chances will only get better if Parcells and T.O. come back. If the Cowboys let Tony OHNO's number one weapon go, they will regret it.
Major Applewhite does it again
If you have not heard, UT legendary QB Major Applewhite was offered a job at Alabama to be on staff with new head coach Nick "Pack your things" Saban. There is nothing Applewhite can't do. People doubted his play when he was a QB here and he ended up being one of the greats in UT history.
Now, Major is moving up the coaching ranks. He is the offensive coordinator at Rice and after one year has been given an offer at a big time program. He turned around Rice in one year and got them to a bowl game. Major Applewhite will be the UT offensive coordinator in three years and the head coach after Mack Brown. Mark my words.
NFL Playoffs
The Colts won with Peyton having a bad game. Next week's match up of the Ravens and Colts is going to be awesome. I am getting chills just thinking about the Ravens' defense taking on the Colts' offense. This game is very similar to last year's Steelers loss for the Colts. A tough and nasty defense is the Colts' weakness.
Farewell to Tiki Barber. It is sad to see such a great athlete and person leave the sport. He is one of the few true good people in sports. He left the sport in his prime because he knows there are more important things he can do. I would have loved to see him leave on top but sometimes fairy tales only happen for buses.
Buckeyes win BCS Title
I have the Bucks winning by at least two touchdowns. Florida is too young to upset this powerful monster. UT upset USC because that team had been together for almost three years. Florida does not finish the basketball and football sweep. Troy Smith will have a MONSTER GAME! final score: Buckeyes 31, Gators 17

NBA Round-up
Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert
Talk about a hot player. Gilbert Arenas is a kid and the League is his playground. For those of you who listen to the show, you know I am a huge Gilbert fan. RIGHT NOW, he is the best offensive player in the game. He is making shots from 40-feet out with ease and at the same time taking it to the hole. The best thing about Gilbert is that he knows he is this good but never comes off as cocky. He has a personal vendetta against anyone who doubts him. Even if your favorite NBA's water boy doubts Gilbert, he will come after your team and light them up. Gilbert is that kind of player. For the season, Gilbert is putting up 30.5 points, almost five rebounds and 6.6 assists. He is shooting 44% from the field and only getting 9 freethrows a game (making about 7.5 of them)...Those are MVP numbers. Gilbert Arenas is the MVP right now.
The Tables Turn
With the big win over the Spurs on Friday, the Dallas Mavericks have turned the table. Now they are the team that dominates opponents and wins the big games against their fierciest rival. I think the Spurs are a good team but they lack that winning edge at the end of games. The championship Spurs teams would be winning all the close games but now it seems like every close game goes agaisnt them. The Mavericks have more talent right now and have made more moves to upend the Spurs. The Mavericks are made to beat the Spurs and thats it (hence the horrible showing in the Finals)...The best move they made was signing Devean George. He is a finals tested player who can make big shots in the clutch. Dirk is playing his best basketball yet. Harris is panning out to be a solid NBA player and Jason Terry is still thanking the Houston Rockets for his coming out party two seasons ago.
---The X-Factor--- In the first meeting between the Spurs and Mavs, Coach Pop used Francisco Elson to keep Dirk in check and it worked. Since then he has not used Elson...He is probably doing this to leave the matchup for the Playoffs where both teams know they will face each other. I'm not saying Elson will shut down Dirk but he will give him problems like Haslem did for the Heat.
Shhhh Dont Jinx Him
This is what every Tracy McGrady fan is saying. If you have not noticed, T-mac is on a very hot streak right now. Since coming back from injury, he has lead his team to big wins against the Jazz and the Nets to name a few. During the team's five game winning streak, he is putting up 32 points, 4 assists and about 6 rebounds a game. He is taking the Rockets and putting them on his back while the best center in the league is recovering. The most impressive stat from this steak is that he has only shot 42 freethrows (making 31)! In a day where most stars get 15-25 freethrows a game, T-Mac is putting up 30+ points with about 5 freethrows a game. Now this is impressive to me but at the same time it says that T-Mac can get a lot more points from the charity stripe. It seems now that T-Mac is like a very hot girl that you have no chance with, he is a tease. Whenever he really gets going it seems like something bad happens to him. Now the only thing T-Mac can do for Rockets' fans is not get hurt while Yao is out.
