    How often?

    That is a good question...I could do a game recap - probably too much though - could do a weekly update - (leaning this way).

    I am open for any and all suggestions, even from a question and answer style to a multi-screen video conference, to just a simple humorous or less, rant.

    This is sort of an experiment for me, and I am just looking to combine a couple of things I love....the Rockets and this community.

    Good job, DD. I agree you need a sidekick. I would pay to see you and SamFisher on a PTI styled show. :)

    A nice job, hoping that a 11 game winning streak is waiting for us as you predicted, but Tmac and Rafer combination could prevent this to happen unless Brook is going to play well.

    Besides being ridiculously good looking, I don't have any talent, so nope =*(. I think Tinman would make a great sidekick. He's funny and from his interview with Clyde, he definitely has the skills.

    Great job, DD!

    We can disagree about a point or two, but overall you were bang on.

    I don't think 40-19 is realistic (it is hard to any team to run off 12 in a row), probably 36-23 is likely. If we do much worse than that, we may be in really big trouble.

    Again, kudos! I'm looking forward to the next episode.

    Great work. I agree that a side kick would make this a lot better. If you can do this together with tinman that would be fantastic. :D

    If I could get someone to help me do a Video podcast, we could make it more interesting.....or get someone to video conference with me....I would love to rotate it through lots of different members here to get tons of different view points.

    Suggestions for the direction are most appreciated........the 2 talking heads is already done with the "No Layups" show (most excellent if you ask me), I would like to do something more Clutchfans oriented.

    Considering all the podcasts I regularly listen to, I've also thought about starting a Rockets podcast (ClutchCast?). I was thinking of a weekly show, recapping games of the week, rumors & news for the team and the NBA. Also discussing some threads of the week in the GARM and the Hangout. (Of course I would like to inform Clutch of it's existence, and if he'd like the site to be directly associated w/ it or not...and adjust accordingly).

    The tone would be kind of conversational, not hard hitting sports talk, more humorous, not afraid to go off on small tangential subjects totally unrelated...like the podcasts I enjoy the most. Sports talk w/ Hangout type banter.

    I'm up for giving it a shot. That's just my brainstorm on the format...better yet let the listeners steer the format by offering polls for the first few weeks on what listeners liked and disliked. I've held off on attempting anything because I'm not sure if I have the fortitude to keep it up weekly, and I admit lately I haven't been able to watch games regularly. I'm not really interested in doing video in this day and age though. ;)

    BTW, it was entertaining and you're well spoken...you had a radio background correct? Like others have said, it doesn't matter if people agree or disagree, just thought provoking and entertaining in your clip. Nice job.

    That was a excellent clip... was never bored throughtout the clip. I like how T-Mac was called out on the low and compared to a retired Rick Barry.

    You have been reading my mind, I would not think of associating it without Clutch's permission, and would LOVE to have Clutch do the show too...he is WAY better than I in talking Rocks.

    But I think a nice video conferenced Pod Cast based on the Rockets and current events would be fun...email me Jay....and get Skype...and don't be afraid of video....there are avatars to use if you don't want your face out there.
