Bad Sports podcast (2006-08-21)

In the latest Bad Sports podcast, Ethan Glading and I chat about two more weeks of Astros' futility, the (preseason) 2-0 Houston Texans, the fading Dynamo, and assorted odds and ends.

The podcast is available here:

Bad Sports podcast (2006-08-21).

Technical difficulties with the site and at home kept interfering, or it would have been posted last night.

We're going to work on getting some sort of audio feedback thing set up for future podcasts, so we can play back comments. In the meantime, please feel free to leave us some good old-fashioned textual feedback.

UPDATE: As described on the podcast, look for this kind of fluff all week long:

When he is being compared to his father, Denver head coach Mike Shanahan, Texans receivers coach Kyle Shanahan wants to make something clear.

"I'm taller than my dad," he said. "Of course, just about everyone's taller than he is."

The Shanahans have a special relationship.

Don't try this at home, though, kids. It takes John McClain's thirty years of sports journalism experience to be ready for that kind of reporting! KTRK-13's Bob Allen beat everyone out of the gate with a similar story on Sunday. Everyone will surely have run one by Wednesday.

It's the ongoing MeMofication of sports journalism, where everything must be turned into a feature story.
