1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: You are here with us, well in an audio sort 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: of way, on a Friday evening, Mark Vandermaer and John 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: Harris with you, keeping your company, getting you into the weekend. 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: What a beautiful day. Let's do this, Johnny as I 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: want to talk about several things tonight, of course, including 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: but not limited to games that we want to see 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: the most this year on the Texans schedule. We don't 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: have the schedule, but we know who they're playing, so 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: we might sort of rank them. Okay, especially the road games, 11 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: because that's kind of where I go usually with these things. 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: The home schedule is phenomenal, really it is. It's this 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: is the best home schedule they've had in a long time. Yeah, 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt, and it'll be interesting to 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: see some of the fans that try to get in 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: here then try to crowbar their way to these seats. 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that. I want to talk 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: about the craziness with the announcer trades. What do I 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: have in common with Al Michaels. I want to talk 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: about that. I want to talk about some of the 21 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: stories buzzing around the National Football League. Patrick Mahomes what 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: not able to read defenses until this year. So he's 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: saying that he won an MVP. You want to start there? Yeah, 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: why not? Because start the Yeah, well, reading defenses, and 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: this is something you watch a lot of team, right, 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: And I don't, so full disclosure, I don't watch a 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: lot of team, but you do. And reading defenses is 28 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: no joke. It's hard. I'll tell you this. Joe six 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: pack listening right now, and that's right. I know you 30 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: don't like to be referred to you, meaning listener in 31 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: the car as Joe six pack, but I'm gonna do 32 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: it anyway. Yeah, Joe sixpack listening in the car right 33 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: now has played touch football, right, Yes, when there's zoning 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: you in touch football, it's hard, right, I mean it's like, 35 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: where's that defender? Where is the guy open or not 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: he was open? And you know you're not exactly throwing 37 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: guys open and touch football it's tough. So it's a 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: little more difficult, slightly more difficult than the National Football League. 39 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: So Mahomes is saying that he won an MVP without 40 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: really having a great understanding of reading defenses. Well, I 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: think I think what he's trying to say, and this 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: will be I believe on the HBO show called The 43 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: Shop and so and so. I think it's the barber 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: shop or the Shop. I think it's called the Shop. 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: I think it's Lebrons show and So he talked about that, 46 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: and he he said, you know, physically, he always works 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: on all his physical skills and tools in the off season, 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: he said, but mentally, he said about halfway through, and 49 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: I think what he was trying to say is it 50 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: really clicked, like he could look at a defense and 51 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: know what was going to be the best attack against 52 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: that particular defense. So I think that's what he's what 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: he's trying to say. I mean, I think he's recognized 54 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and did recognize. And I'd be curious to see how 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: people are making a big deal of this because they're like, 56 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, did you're not already defense? So of course, 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: what was he doing at Texas Tech? Oh my god, 58 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: Andy Reid made him this? Look, Patrick Mahomes, I guarantee 59 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: you has been able to look at a defense and 60 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: know what it's, know what it is, but processing it all. 61 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: This is the coverage or in this is what I 62 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: expect from them pre snap, or this is what I 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: see pre snap is what I expect from them post snap. 64 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: These are the routes that I know can hurt that. Oh, 65 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: let's change this route, let's go do this. And doing 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: all of that in forty seconds, that I think is 67 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: what he is trying to say, is that I can 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: now do all of that. Before I was running to play, 69 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: I knew where the routes were and they were they're 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: supposed to go. I knew what was out there, but 71 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: I didn't really know kind of how I went together. 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: Now I think what he's saying, and I think Deshawn's 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: probably going through this similar thing. Is he walks up 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and he sees him in disguise, 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: and he knows from film study. He's like, I know 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: this disguise typically leads to this coverage, and I know 77 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: if I get this coverage, then the route that I 78 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: have called probably not that good. I think this is 79 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: middle of the field closed or post safety. So hey, 80 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: let's take this route. Hey, you guys change up on 81 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: this side. You guys are okay on this side. Let's 82 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: make him now the MC because we're gonna change the 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: protection here. Because we're anticipating this, all of that's going 84 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: on in forty seconds and trying to decipher all of 85 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: that where it's just kind of wrote memory where it's like, 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: oh this okay, boom boom, let's go, and you still 87 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: have ten seconds to kind of sit there and make 88 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: sure that that's what it's gonna be. So I think 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the game's slowing down, is what Patrick was saying. Is 90 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: what's happening for both Heat Deshaun. Probably happened for Lamar um. 91 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: I think it'll probably you know, Lamar was a you know, 92 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: just a one year starter, a year and a half 93 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: year starter, so he's gonna go through that. But I 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: think what he's saying is the game's slowing down for him. Yeah, 95 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: which is scary, nonetheless, But the game is slowing down 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: for Deshaun. The game is slowing down for Lamar. The 97 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: game is slowing down for those quarterbacks. It's slowed to 98 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: a crawl. For Aaron Rodgers. I mean, Aaron Rodgers can 99 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: do all of that and see all that, right because 100 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: he's been seen since what wait, so he's been seeing 101 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: all those different things. Now, are there things that trip 102 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: up those quarterbacks? Absolutely, they're always something like, wait a second, 103 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: what are they doing over on that side? Okay, that's weird. 104 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: But instead of looking at the whole picture going I 105 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: don't know, I think I see this, but I'm not sure, 106 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: as opposed to you look at it and go, okay, 107 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: well they're doing this on this side they're doing this. 108 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Then you gotta think about, okay, well what are they 109 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: doing with hop? They doubling? Hop? Are are they bracketing? Hop? 110 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: Where's that bracket coming from? How are they? What if 111 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: they what are they doing on motion? And then you 112 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: gotta worry about As a quarterback, you gotta worry about 113 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: the fronts. You know. Sometimes the front you can just 114 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: look at the front, go okay, I know what they're 115 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 1: gonna do. I've seen this, I've seen this something film. 116 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna run this kind of twist stunt. I gotta 117 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: be aware of this guy, so let's change. So you 118 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: gotta do all that, and sorry about the coverage. One 119 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: nightmare it is. You know, they should have to count 120 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: to form Mississippi. That's why I say they should. But 121 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: I think that's that's what Patrick is referring to. But 122 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: it's kind of fascinating to hear him say yeah, it's um, 123 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: it's just now the pictures becoming clear for me, and 124 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: I would imagine that's a pretty cool feeling for a 125 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: player to just go, Man, this thing is slowing to 126 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: a crawl. I'm about to eat these people alive because 127 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: I know exactly what's going on. You know, I wish 128 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: the listeners could have seen you with your hand gestures 129 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: as you were explaining some of that stuff. It reminded 130 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: me of Deshaun Watson after the Atlanta game when he 131 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: was going through a full sort of verbal tellustrator of 132 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: some of the coverage is that the Falcons were doing 133 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 1: or whatever. And then you had that Twitter video where 134 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: somebody overdubbed another voice on that about how easy the 135 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Falcon's defense was. And I don't even know if Watson 136 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: himself responded to that, but you know he saw it somehow. 137 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: It's on social media. That had to be pretty funny. 138 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: But that is interesting about Mahomes. You know the guys 139 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: in the morning. It was Adam Spillane and Cecil this morning. 140 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: I visited with them on a Friday on a Friday's 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: radio talk at the bottom of the hour on a Friday, 142 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: it was eight to nine Am on Fridays. That's when 143 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: I pop in there and they said, would you rather 144 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: if you're Watson in his agent, really Watson's agent, would 145 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: you either Mahomes go first or second? You know, if 146 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: you're Mahomes, do you want Watson to go first as 147 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: far as deals go, if they indeed do the signings 148 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: this offseason, which you'd think they might. I gotta think 149 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: that either way is fine with Deshaun, you know, but 150 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: with Mahomes, whatever he agrees to X number of dollars, 151 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: if you're Watson, X minus a little bit would still 152 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: be a very high number. And I think everybody would 153 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: have to agree that. All right, that's pretty fair. You know, 154 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes is won an MVP in a Super Bowl and like, okay, 155 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: and I've done great things and Watson's gonna be fantastic, 156 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and it is fantastic. But that might be where the 157 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: slot is. I think I might want to have Mahomes 158 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: go first. And I don't want to belabor this point 159 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: because I don't like to talk about contract negotiations. But 160 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: it's interesting this because you know, you know that Mahomes 161 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: is probably going to get the richest contract in the 162 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: history of the National Football League. This is true. I 163 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: will tell you this. I woke up this morning in 164 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: the very first tweet on my time mind and I 165 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: tried to go back and find it, but I couldn't 166 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: find it. I want to say there's pft, but it 167 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: mentioned Mahomes sort of taking a Tom Brady approach, and 168 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: that is I'll take less so we can keep my 169 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: teammates and give them more. Now that complicates everything. That 170 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: complicates everything for everybody. Yeah, it does. But who said that? 171 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: You don't remember, That's what I'm saying. I remember, but 172 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: I saw that. I'm gonna stop you right there. That 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: ain't happening. That's not happening, and it shouldn't happen. You 174 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: should take the money. Look, you earn the money, you 175 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: should take the money. The Brady thing, boy, I think 176 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: this came up even last night or the night before it. 177 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: That always bothered me that he did that. Why Mark, 178 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: Why did it bother? He's competitive? Even no, because something's 179 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: I just don't feel like like it's all. I don't 180 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: want to say it's all on the up and up. 181 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: Look it is what it is, you know, but it 182 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: just seems weird that Brady would take so much less money, 183 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: not just less money, but so much less money to 184 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: enable his team to sign people in this cap sport. 185 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: So that means the island in Fiji will be waiting 186 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: for him. But does retire Brady Island is out there 187 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: at the Pacific Ocean somewhere, purchased by Robert Kraft, or 188 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: he gets to buy a piece of the team. Now 189 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: I knew, I was almost positive. I didn't want to 190 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: speak out of turn, but it was PFT who put 191 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: that out there, and it's they do everything though. Now 192 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, here's the headline. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes doesn't want 193 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,599 Speaker 1: contract to keep Chiefs from winning, he said. Mahomes was 194 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: quoted as saying he told Tres Payler of Yahoo Sports 195 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: is also in Kansas City. He said, quote, when you 196 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: look back in your career, at the end of your career, 197 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: you want to look back and see a lot of success, 198 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of wins, a lot of Super Bowl wins. 199 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: Hopefully it's something where I want to look back and 200 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: see a lot of success. Obviously, I want to get 201 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: a contract. Obviously I want to provide for my family 202 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: for a long time, to do everything like that. But 203 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: and I continue to quote, I want to make sure 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: I do it the smart way and do it the 205 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: right way, and so I don't know exactly which way 206 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: that is yet. I know that my people and the 207 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: Chiefs people will talk about it and we will do 208 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: it at the right time for the betterment of the team. 209 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: But I'm excited to be cancer the chief for a 210 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: long time and I know that's going to be handled 211 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: the right way because the people the Chiefs have in 212 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: their organization. Quote on quote, so m that sounds very 213 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: familiar to one Thomas Edward Brady. I don't know what. 214 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what his mental name is. It felt like, 215 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of do that that long Thomas 216 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: Horatio Brady. That's it. Oh sounds a lot like him, 217 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: But that is I mean, you're never gonna tell a 218 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: player how to you know, especially a quarter You know, 219 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gonna get paid. I mean good quarterbacks, great 220 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gonna get paid. And Deshaun and Lamar and 221 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: and Pat are great quarterbacks. They're gonna get paid to them. 222 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: The question becomes, you know, do you half do you 223 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: have to have the richest deal in the history of 224 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: the NFL, or do you want to make sure your 225 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: teammates get. I mean, it is that it is that 226 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: that Brady coundrum. You know, he's taken all those undermarket 227 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: deals forever so that his teammates could get some they 228 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: could bring in this player, they could trade for Randy 229 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: Moss and didn't give him money, et cetera. So it's 230 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: it's that that thought. And you know, there are some 231 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: people in New Orleans. I know, when we were in 232 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: New Orleans and we talked to different people, there's some 233 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: people that were angry at Drew Brees, you know, had 234 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, contract negotiations that were sort of contentious, and 235 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: that he gotten the amount of money that he did, 236 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: because then it took away from some of the players 237 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: that they could added to that particular Well, that's where 238 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: the Brady deal is. I'm sure the Union doesn't like it, 239 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, the Union doesn't like in a Major 240 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: League Baseball when you take less money or the NBA, 241 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta take what you gotta take. 242 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's why all this stuff is is 243 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: in place. It's such a complicated conundrum for a player 244 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: because you me, everybody, we all want our market value, right, 245 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: we want to know and I would think football is. 246 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: In professional sports, you can figure out what your market 247 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: value is, and y'all want to be we all want 248 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: to be paid our market value. To be really honest, 249 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: what's the market value for a guy like Deshaun or 250 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: even to Mahomes, because whenever you're paying him, it's still 251 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: isn't Well what about Brady John because look at what 252 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: they've done. I mean, anybody who is familiar with that 253 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: stadium in Foxborough on Route one and what it was 254 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: and what it is now and you want to talk, 255 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: we talk. We talk about Lucas oil as the house 256 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: to Peyton built and everything. This is ten times there, 257 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: that house that Brady built, the what they've done there 258 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: around the stadium, not just the stadium itself. The stadium 259 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: itself is okay, it's what they've done with Patriot Place 260 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: and everything around there, which that area doesn't even deserve 261 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: to have that stuff, but well they need it because 262 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: you'll never get out of there with the postgame commute, 263 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: trust me, all right. A couple of other things though, 264 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: related to this. I think it's exciting that you have 265 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: to Sean manning the Texans, Mahomes with the Chiefs Jackson 266 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: with the Ravens and they're all playing each other, although yeah, 267 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: they're all playing each other again this year. You finish 268 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: first enough often enough, you're gonna have this round robin 269 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: every year, and it's going to be great for the NFL. 270 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, now we're in the new era here where 271 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, you had the Bradies and Mannings and Roethlisberger's 272 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: going at it and I know, you know, everybody but 273 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: Manning is still around, but we'll see how long. But 274 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: now you're ushering this ushering in this era of Watson, Jackson, 275 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes and whoever else wants to get into the mix 276 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: in there. I just think it's a terrific thing for 277 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Yeah, I'm I mean just in 278 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: the AFC alone. I mean, you think about the AFC. 279 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Eventually Miami will get a young quarterback, and that would 280 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: think this year would be that year. You know, Fitzy 281 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: can only play so long. But you know, if that 282 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: when that happens, you got Josh Allen Sam Darneld in 283 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: Buffalo and the Jets respectively. The Bengals will have a 284 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: new quarterback the rounds at Baker Mayfield. The Ravens have Lamar, 285 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: we have the Shan. The Chiefs have Patrick, they are 286 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: a ton. The Charges are gonna have a young quarterback, right, 287 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean over half the half the conference has got 288 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: a young quarterback. I mean I say young, I mean 289 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: Sean and Pattick going into their fourth years in the league, 290 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: which is crazy to think about. And yeah, we still 291 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of consider them young. But they're the next wave 292 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: coming in and I love that. I love it. That's 293 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: that's what you say. It like that Watson is going 294 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: into year four four. I'm panicking year four already. Wait 295 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: a minute, Well, I mean, you know when you look 296 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: at quarterbacks and left tackles, man, they play forever. There's 297 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: obviously seemingly but they seemingly do. But um, those matchups 298 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: and they're gonna happen a lot. Baltimore v. Houston, Houston v. 299 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Kansas City the Baltimore. They're all gonna play 300 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: each other again, just like they did last year. And 301 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: we've got to go to Kansas City. Baltimore's got to 302 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: come here. I can't remember Baltimore and Casey is I 303 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: can't remember that. We'll look it up. Because let's talk 304 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: about the games you're looking forward to the most on 305 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: the Texans schedule and also announcer craziness in the NFL 306 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: and beyond.

It's pretty cool. He was 317 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: in the preliminary competition, they were like twenty kids. He 318 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: made the final four and now he's in the finals tonight. 319 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be big for vander kid tonight. 320 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: Shooting at three. Is he gonna keep on the warm jacket? Uh, 321 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: it's a good. He went into the locker room moments 322 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: ago and said, which one of you guys is finishing 323 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: set exactly? And I pulled a Larry Bird and no, 324 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: I hope he didn't do that, because he actually said 325 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: before the final he went last time the prelimbs. I 326 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: think he was nineteenth out of twenty going. I think 327 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: they did it in alphabetical orders, and he actually said 328 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: to the organizer how many do I need? I was like, 329 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: I was just shaking my head, like, oh my gosh, 330 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: this is not my son. But that's the way you 331 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: gotta think though. I mean, yeah, yeah, that's good. Good 332 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: for him. You know, somebody posted they can't remember who 333 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: posted this on Twitter right probably about a week ago. 334 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: They posted about two and a half minutes of Larry 335 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: Bird's best passes. Oh god, oh it's great. I mean 336 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: it was sports orgasmic. I mean it was unbelievable. I 337 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: don't want to turn the show into a Magic versus 338 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: Larry debate because I've always said, even though I'm a 339 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Bird guy and I rooted for the Celtics a bit eighties, 340 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: I've always thought Magic because I felt like makes everybody 341 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: around him better and he can win with any team 342 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: or whatever. But here's the thing. Here's the thing in 343 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: defensive Larry, Larry didn't have Kareem you know, I mean 344 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Larry and Robert Parrish, Kevin McKay was a hell of 345 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: a player and all that. You could argue Magic had 346 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: the better team around him. Oh, I don't think there's 347 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: any question. And Kareem is a top five or ten 348 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: at worst player. Larry has nobody in the top ten 349 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: with him during his run. So you could make the 350 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: argument that way if you choose. But it's five rings 351 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: to three, and Larry you said it was a great, 352 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: great pastor so was Magic. I mean they're both phenomenal 353 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: watching both of them. Passive basketball was just what they saw. 354 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: So then yesterday Rex Chapman posted a video from Michael 355 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: Jordan's trip to Europe after his rookie year. Oh, oh 356 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: my god, his trip to Europe. Like what he was playing, No, 357 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: he was playing in some like I don't know, he's 358 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: playing like pick up ball. You could tell he's playing 359 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: like some structured games. Right, you gotta see this. It's 360 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: amazing because you realize, oh my god, he was unbelievable. Yeah. 361 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: The last highlight they show, the last highlight they show 362 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: is his kiss the room dunk and he shatters the glass. 363 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: He's playing over in Europe. So I went and I 364 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: found the Twitter account it came from. It's called Jumpman History. 365 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: So they've got about a minute and a half video 366 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: of all Jordan's passes. They're ridiculous, and you forget about 367 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: you don't think about Dan Mark. I'm telling you, you 368 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: gotta see this video. You think of him Defensive Player 369 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: of the Year and maybe the greatest player ever. You know, 370 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to have that debate right now. You know, 371 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: Lopez and I used to do starting five in football, 372 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: not to play basketball, but just in football, like your 373 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: all time starting five quarterback and you know, quarterback, wide receiver, 374 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 1: running back, and two defensive players, one in the secondary, 375 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: one in the front. Seven O go, I prop two 376 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: quarterback quarterbacks. Don't pick the quarterback first, crazy? Oh no, 377 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: no, no no, oh okay, I thought you had to go 378 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: in that order. Oh the um defensive player LT Yeah. See, 379 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, and I'll go like Reggie Wayne. You know 380 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: you're going Reggie Wayne. I mean, Reggie Wayne. Sorry, you 381 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: know I said the other night, I was going over 382 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: my tongue twisters with my kid. Reggie Wayne wide Bright. Oh, 383 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne wide Bright. Yeah, that's a tongue twister. Reggie 384 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: White sorry. Uh, then I would go what I've got quarterback? 385 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: Running back? Yeah, uh by running back, I'm gonna take Uh, 386 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Eric Dickerson. Wow, I'll take Barry. It 387 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: is Primaric Dickerson was ridiculous. I know he was. It 388 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: is my kid always asked about him because he's on 389 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: his maddened team with Michael Vick and Dan Deardorf on 390 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line. My other defender is Deon Sanders. Oh, 391 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: that's a good one. Uh, I'll take away. But I 392 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: got LT and Deance and forgetting you've done Ronnie Lott. 393 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Okay, I love that quarterback. I'll 394 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: take I was always in Montana. Guy. I love Joe. 395 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Joe Montana. I love Montana. Now, Mike, 396 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: Mike gonna take Burt Jones. Now, I'm just kidding. I 397 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: would Alway would be a guy that would more assume him, 398 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: but I can't do it. You know what, Elway, It's 399 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: funny because, like, forget it, the young Elway, the one 400 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: that lost three Super Bowls. Oh my gosh, was he terrific? 401 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: That's those are the highlights you have to watch. When 402 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: he won the two Super Bowls. He's not doing as much. 403 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: And don't look at the numbers, boys and girls, because 404 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: they don't tell the whole story, right, Okay, that team 405 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: and quarterback passing yards and touchdown numbers of that era. 406 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: Look at Aikman's numbers, look at Elway in the nineties. 407 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: It's not impressive when you just look at the numbers 408 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: flat out. For a long time, Steve Young had the 409 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: highest quarterback rating in the history of the league. He 410 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: held out of that number for a long time. But 411 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: that thing has changed, obviously, the way the game has played. Cheese. 412 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I gotta pick a quarter I mean, look, Brady is 413 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback that ever lived. But you can't do it. 414 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: You can't do it. You know, I know you can't 415 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: do it. There's no way I'll pick Young l Away. Yeah, 416 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: that's that's probably a good wide receiver, um Man. There 417 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: are so many good ones. I know everybody would think, well, 418 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: you take Jerry Rice, and Jerry was so good, he 419 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: was so good. But the guy to me, I'll take 420 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: Randy Moss. Yeah. Randy Moss was the freakiest of the freaky. 421 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: He could do anything on a football field, and if 422 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: I ever needed to play him on defense. I'll play 423 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: my defense, you could, especially in a hail Mary situation. 424 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: I guess I'll take rice at that point, so why not. 425 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: I can't go wrong. I mean, a guy's running routes 426 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: the day after the Super Bowl. That's pretty impressive, right, 427 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I mean it was doing that. Yeah, 428 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: And you know I came back from an ACL tear 429 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: in the first game of the year and made it 430 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: back by week seven. Those are the stories I love 431 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: about how hard these guys work. And I told you 432 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: this story, I think. But I taught sailing at a 433 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: club in Long Island where you know, the mac and 434 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: Rows were members, And the day after Wimbledon in eighty two, 435 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: McEnroe lost to Connors in the final, and Monday afternoon, 436 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: he's at that club hitting balls with Peter Fleming, who 437 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: he played doubles with for years. And I just made 438 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: a note of that that I'll never forget, which is 439 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: these guys work their butts off to be who they are. 440 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting you bring up Borg and macinrow. 441 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: You bring up macnro because maccar always had Borg and 442 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL we've seen for a long time. 443 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: You know we were talking about quarterbacks, it's Brady Rivers, Manning. 444 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger was like for a long time. Those are the 445 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: guys that we that I think brought the best out 446 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: of each other. You know, Manning had Brady. Brady and 447 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: Manning and those two went at it. I think it's 448 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: what's making it good about, you know, the NFL now 449 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: in twenty twenties. The fact that Patrick Scott, Deshaun Shaan's 450 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: got Pat they both have Lamar. They all have, you know, 451 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: so they're gonna see each other. So there's always this 452 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: guy like Magic and Bird, they always had somebody to 453 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: look at. I mean, Magice talked about time. He's like 454 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: I'd wake up in the morning and I'd see what 455 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: Larry did it, I see what he did the night before. 456 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: I always felt like that was too bad that Jordan 457 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: didn't have, never had. There was always this litany of 458 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: guys that, Oh it's Clyde this year. Oh now it's 459 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing, Oh it's Barkley. He never had. That guy 460 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: comes Penny Hardaway, He's gonna be No, he's not. But 461 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: I think that's what you know. Borg Macarro Macar always 462 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: at Boorg They broughtut the best of each other. Now, 463 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: they always had Jimmy Connors that you could throw in 464 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: there too as well. Thought, Yeah, I thought it was 465 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: that way in heavyweight boxing back in the seventies two. 466 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: And yet when he had Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and 467 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: George Foremant and even throw Ken Norton there, when they 468 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: bought each other, it was like they were fighting. Obviously, 469 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: when a championship, there's a lot of money at stake 470 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: all that, but they were fighting. And I heard somebody 471 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: say this, which is brilliant. When Frasier and Ali fought, 472 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: they fought for the championship of each other. And yeah, 473 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: teams will play, we play for the Lombardi. The Chiefs 474 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: played for Lombardi. But when Patrick and Deshaun are facing 475 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: one another, they're playing that particular game that day for 476 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: the championship of one another, which is gonna make those 477 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: battles that much more rich as we moved, you know, 478 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: as we move forward in their careers. And the same 479 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: thing with Lamar. When Sean and Lamar meet and then 480 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: already started back when they were at Clemson and Louisville, respectively, 481 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: it was like the championship with one another. Yeah, they 482 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: want their teams to win, and I know that, but 483 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: they're playing for something a little bit more because the 484 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: guy on the other side is as good and thought 485 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: of in that same vein, and they're guys were referred 486 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: to by first names. When you say Lamar, you don't 487 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: have to tell anybody who it is. It's Lamar Jackson. 488 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: You say to Sean, you know you're talking about Deshaun Watson. Uh. 489 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: You know the same with Patrick when everybody says Pat, 490 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: Now you know, I know you're talking about Patrick Mahomes. 491 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: But they have each other so that when they meet, 492 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: it is must see television. It was like when Brady 493 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: and Manning were gonna meet. You didn't miss it. You 494 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: had to see that. You know, when Brady took on, 495 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: you know, Roethlisberger, you wanted to see that. It's like 496 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: when that's because Ben beat to you know what, I 497 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: don't want to say that. I hope that he still is, 498 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 1: but we do have to face him this Year's all right, 499 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: So let's go there. Games you're looking forward to the most, 500 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: go well, even though it would be stressful, and it 501 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: will be very well. We're not talking about easy lay 502 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: up wins. Which there are none as we've seen time. 503 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Chiefs Texans is just I mean, how do 504 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: you not put that number one? Going up there? I 505 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: mean going up to Arrowhead the scene of the crime, 506 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: but it's also the scene of one of the great 507 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: wins for this organas Yeah, I know. So it's like 508 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: you're kind of It's like, well, that's gonna be a 509 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: question thrown out to Bill O'Brian when he's at the 510 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: podium coach confidence wise, you know you've come up there 511 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: and done it, and you've got up there and not 512 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: done it. Can we do a show where we ask 513 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien to questions. I'll ask him that, I'll ask 514 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: him that in a hot second, like how does the 515 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: psychology of that of knowing that you can do it, 516 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: but knowing that also things went really badly for you 517 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: in the playoff game after the lead. He would answer that. 518 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: You'd be like, yeah, that's the thing, but he would 519 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: actually say, look, this has nothing to do with that 520 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenties in New Years. But I got to say 521 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: that it's a net as far as the psychological stuff. 522 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: It's a net plus that you know you've done it. Yeah, 523 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: you've gone up there. I mean, look, the playoff game 524 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: is horrible. I'm not I'm not downplaying that, but you know, 525 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: you have one up there. It's not like we've never 526 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: done this and we've never beaten them and whatever. You know, 527 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: they beat him week two. Here it's a different Chiefs team, 528 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: different Texans team. In twenty sixteen. People forget that was 529 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: a good win, good wins. It was a blood bath. 530 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you had Brock. He actually had 531 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: a good game in that he did. He did, we 532 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: were we looked. They beat the Bears, they beat the 533 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs two and oh to start the season. Let's go 534 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: to New England week three and no, didn't happen anyway. 535 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: But but going up to Kansas City, You're right, it's huge. 536 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: Is there any way that's not a primetime game this year? 537 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a zero chance. I cannot see that 538 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: being I mean, the only thing I'm concerned about is 539 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: if it's Sunday night man Texans Monday next morning, we're 540 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,479 Speaker 1: gonna be sleeping probably in this office. You have your 541 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: office and me and mind or whatever. That's at least 542 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: it's fairly close, I will say, from a from a 543 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: travel standpoint, all the games being east of us. That's 544 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. You have to go out west. 545 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: I do like our Western I'd like I'd like going 546 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: out to LA that's fun. Going out to Seattle was 547 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: one heck of it down That was a wild weekend. 548 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: But that was a heck of a trip. I don't 549 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: mind traveling. The London trip was really fun. But the 550 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: fact that they're more condensed trips, maybe a little bit shorter, 551 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. It was so weird coming back 552 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: from Seattle and the buses going by Mini Made Park 553 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: while I was playing inside five five five on the 554 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: greatest Major League Baseball Games of all time is going on, 555 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: and we're driving by, and we're driving by. Oh man, 556 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: what an afternoon. That was um but to me cheap. 557 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, using what we've been talking about as a theme, 558 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't put Chiefs Texans in 559 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City and then this the revenge opportunity to avenge 560 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: the big loss from last year. Baltimore coming here, Baltimore 561 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: coming here, we go into Kansas City. I mean, that's phenomenal. 562 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: I would put third just because it's that team coming here, 563 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: which they've only a couple of times the Packers. Yeah, 564 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean to see the Packers in the Packers. Seeing 565 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: the Packers in here is gonna be weird for me. 566 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I've gotten accustomed to being up 567 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: there seeing the Packers in their home, but now seeing 568 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: the Packers in our home. Yea is strange because in 569 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: that twenty twelve year, I was doing my overnight show, 570 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: so I was actually doing my show after that game, 571 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: so I actually watched it in studio, dog cussing Aaron 572 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers because he's just lighting the place. Eight years later, 573 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: it's still Aaron Rodgers coming back in here and Matt 574 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: la Floor. So those are the three to me that 575 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: really stand out. But I love Pitts work. I'm I'll 576 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: be looking forward to that trip, and I haven't meant 577 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: to Chicago Detroit, so those are definitely definitely on the list. Uh, 578 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: no doubt. So this is the fourth time the Texans 579 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: will have played the Packers, and three of the times 580 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: will feature Aaron Rodgers over a twelve year span. That's 581 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Aaron Rodgers. They saw him in his 582 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: first year and actually beat him up there, but didn't 583 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: meet him here and didn't beat him up there. Last time. 584 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: Although what about for you? I mean for me, like 585 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: I said at Chiefs Home, Ravens Home, Packers, those would 586 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: be the three at the top of my list. Listen, 587 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: you know I love going to Pittsburgh. This is an 588 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: NFL traditional city. Love going up there. I remember your 589 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: first year working in the building, working on the broadcast 590 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: was twenty fourteen and Monday Night football Steelers on the schedule. 591 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: I just said, Johnny, you know, yeah, up to Pittsburgh. 592 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, you and I here we are talking to 593 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: April or whatever it is. We're gonna be in Pittsburgh 594 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. And let me tell you something, 595 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: two hours leading up to that thing, two three hours 596 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: are gonna be total adrenaline rush. I mean, those are 597 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: the moments that you just can't describe the feeling of 598 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: getting ready for an NFL game like that, and the 599 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: fans get excited obviously, where whether you're watching on TV 600 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: listening at the game, but we're getting ready to do 601 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: a broadcast. It is fun stuff in that building. So yeah, 602 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to that one. It's only about 603 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: the fourth ever visit up there to the Steel City, 604 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: and you won there and No. Two lost in O 605 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: eight and lost in fourteen, and here you go. Yeah 606 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: so okay, yeah, I was gonna say, wait, I'm doing 607 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: the math on that. Yeah, it's the fourth time up there. 608 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: I'd love going up there. I loved that we had 609 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: a night game and just there's something about the environment 610 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: a night game. Which it was interesting because in fourteen, 611 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: as we were driving around the city and we get 612 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: in Ubers or Caps or whatever they were, the fans 613 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: were not they were They were like, oh, the Steelers, 614 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers, not the Steelers, the Steelers, the Steelers night. 615 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: You guys are gonna wallop them. And it was like 616 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: that did not They were down on the Steelers at 617 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: they were down. Of course we allowed them to get 618 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: back in. Yeah, a little bit of you know how 619 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: that goes. But I love that trip. I love going 620 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: up there. I'm with you just to traditional teams. That's 621 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: why the Bears and Alliance to me will be kind 622 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: of cool. Of course, I know before I moved here, 623 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: I grew up Wisconsin, so the Bears, allions of Vikings, 624 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: those are all rivals. Hated them. I was raised. I 625 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: was raised to have some good sports hate towards those 626 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: three organizations. So so seeing them. It's gonna be it's 627 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna be kind of cool. But I'm glad that the 628 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: Packers and the Vikings are both here because I think 629 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: they're the class of that division. I'm glad they have 630 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: to travel up to us. Another trip that I love 631 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: is Cleveland. I love the idea of going to Cleveland. 632 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: Don't go there very often. I haven't been there since 633 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, and that was the first trip there since 634 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: oh eight, So the Texans don't go up there much. 635 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: It was significant about that game. Ryan Mallett through his 636 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 1: first touchdown pass in his career and that his career. 637 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: What did Alfred Blue have that day? Like thirty six 638 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and fifty yards and one of 639 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: my favorite moments that a Rod Dane like performance, one 640 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: of my favorite moments that has ever happened, and happened 641 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: in that game. And it did start out well, do 642 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: you remember in that game? I mean, JJ was unbelievable 643 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: in that game. But you remember in that game he 644 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: got two two roughing, the roughing the punter fright. JJ 645 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: wanted to block a punt right and he ended up 646 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: committing some pen so he committed one and they went 647 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: back out there and I knew they probably, I mean 648 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: I knew at the time. I was like, okay, they 649 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: they've with JJ in there. I was like, okay, they've 650 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: seen something up filmed. They think they could block it. Well, 651 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: he missed the first one. He just missed it. But 652 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: then he gets the penalty. He gets the second one. 653 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: He comes over the sidelines. It was so funny because 654 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: he's standing he comes over the sidelines and I can 655 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: see ob just steaming. He's just like Steve's coming out 656 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: of his ears, and it's not as if he's really 657 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: he's not really mad at JJ, just kind of mad 658 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: about the whole thing. And JJ is kind of standing 659 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: near him, like okay, coach, get mad at me, like 660 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: just get it over with or whatever. And so they 661 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: both won't. They They're like they're near each other, but 662 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: they're not really talking to one another. And finally Obi 663 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: just walks over to him and just kind of points 664 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: back out on the field. JJ gos running back out 665 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: of the field and then dominated the rest of the game. 666 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: What will self correct Okay, oh, he's self corrected, all right. 667 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: But it was just hilarious to watch the interaction on 668 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: the sideline because JJ just just doesn't make mistakes. And 669 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,479 Speaker 1: you know it was a it was an effort mistake, 670 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: but he had two of them. And I don't know 671 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: how many times I have ever seen that a game 672 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: where guy had two of them on back to back punts. 673 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: Get away with it and special teamer would have been 674 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: like on a separate flight home. Next up, announcer stuff, 675 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: announcer mania, craziness in this league and beyond, and some 676 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: other stuff that will come up in the final segment 677 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: here on Texans Radio, Rolling along Friday night, Mark Van Damyer, 678 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: John Harris with you on Texans All Access here in 679 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio studio.

Al Michaels. Look, 685 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: he would get a huge sum of money, yes, to 686 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: go to ESPN Monday Night Football kind of where he belongs. 687 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: You can slide Tariko into that Sunday night seat with 688 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: Collinsworth and if Manning indeed gets the gig twenty million, 689 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: the Michael's trade contingent. I'm manning in your opinion. I mean, 690 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: Michael's not gonna work with booger mcfarloe. Okay, oh my gosh, 691 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: that's not happening. Holy smokes. Yeah, so what so? And 692 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, look, Tessa, Geory has done a nice job. 693 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: He's just to me. I like Joe, and I think 694 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: he does a hell of a job. He really does. 695 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of energy. But you know, Al 696 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: Michaels is Al Michaels is, Al Michael's the most adored 697 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: modern era, modern era, post nineteen eighty announcer in this country, 698 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: other than say Vince Scully, maybe even more Pat summer All. Yeah, 699 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: you think sum are all? Are? So if we took 700 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: a poll right now, Michaels or Summer All, and I 701 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: think a lot of people would just say Michaels just 702 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: because they've heard Michaels. I gotta tell you this though, 703 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: for for pure NFL, the sound of it, Summer All, 704 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 1: Summer All was amazing. Yeah, I mean I said so 705 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: much with so little. I mean it was incredible. He 706 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: really was amazing to listen to. And Al del Greco 707 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: will kick off when you're just like the voice, the 708 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: vocal quality. He was a kicker in the NFL and 709 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: he's got pipes like. It was really the first time 710 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: watching Pat Summer all John Madden do a game where 711 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: I honestly paid attention to what the announcers were talking 712 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: about because the thing, yeah, I loved, I loved watching 713 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: and I knew, okay, this is a big game, this 714 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: Packers Cowboys. Yeah, whatever game in the NFCS Cowboys, you 715 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: know it was. It was pers here game. Yeah, the 716 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: eighties Packers. They there wasn't much to speak of, but 717 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: it was such a big game. I think, Al, Yeah, 718 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: Al's got to be that. I think Joe Buck always 719 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: gets he's polarizing. He takes such vitriol, and I like him. 720 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: I'd like to listen to I'd like to listen to 721 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: him call you know what. I think Aikman and he 722 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: have a very similar voice. And sometimes it's I'll be listening, 723 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, which guy is that? And 724 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: if it's an analytical point, I'm like, oh, it's Aikman. 725 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: But then sometimes Buck will not analyze but make a 726 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: point that maybe the analyst would make I'm thinking, oh, 727 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: that was Bucky, and they just sound similar to me. 728 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: But I think they're very good. All the look, all 729 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: the guys are very good. They when you're in that seat, 730 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna take a bunch of heat, no doubt. It's subjective. 731 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: I've told you this before, David Halberstam, I used to 732 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: run Westwood One, not the writer the other. David Halberstam 733 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: said to me play my playing aunts, it's like blondes 734 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: and brunettes. You know, some people like one, some people 735 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: like the other. I'm like, well, to you, I'm very 736 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: clearly a brunette and you like blond So anyway, it 737 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: is not the play. The play by play I mean, 738 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think for radio, painting a 739 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: picture what you're seeing kind of naturally leads to having 740 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: to say more, and so I think that sort of helps. 741 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: I think played by play guys and TV like when 742 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm when I did some games, and I've done some 743 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: games for Southing Conference, I do them on TV. I 744 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: have to remember and remind myself, Hey, the fans could 745 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: see some of this, like you, yeah, you know, So 746 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit different. But I just I 747 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: truly I enjoy whether it's Nance or Joe Buck or 748 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: al call a game, I truly enjoy all of you know. 749 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: I like the cruise that they have um you know 750 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 1: with uh, you know, Joe and Troy and al And 751 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: and Chris. I wonder where this lead. Well, I can't 752 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: remember who I was talking to you. I can't remember 753 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: I was talking to you or not. We were talking 754 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: about this and I saw this. I was like, well, 755 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: if your NBC, you you ask for the moon, you 756 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: ask for anything you want because you know in your 757 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: backpocket you got my Trico. Just slide Trico into that 758 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: Sunday night spot. I think I think the world. I 759 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: think the world. Actually, I think right now he is 760 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: the best. I think he's fantastic and he's been. I 761 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: just I think he's great now. You gotta take him 762 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: off Notre Dame football. But I don't not name. He 763 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: wanted to have the cachet for home games. They're just 764 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: keeping the seat warm. You know, they're just giving him 765 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: a gig. You know it's a good gig, right but 766 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: they're just giving him a gig right now, So you 767 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: slade Rico into Collinsworth. I don't think you lose a 768 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: whole heck of a lot. Now, ESPN, on the other hand, 769 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: gaining Al Michaels if you get him with Peyton Manning. Wow, 770 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: think about what we have to listen to as we're 771 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: watching games. Monday night football is Al and Peyton. Sunday 772 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: night football is Terrico and Collinsworth. The Big Game on 773 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: foxes Joe and Troy, and the Big Game on CBS 774 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: is Romo and Nance. Yeah, I mean wow, Holy smokes. Now, 775 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: I will say this, there's no guarantee that Pete's gonna 776 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: be good, but he's gonna be good. Yeah, he's gonna 777 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: be feeling, He's gonna be good, gonna be He'll make 778 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 1: sure he's good. And he might worry about all the exposure, 779 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: if you will, for lack of a better word, because 780 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: right now Peyton's places and everything, it's totally controlled. You know, 781 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: all the good lines, all editing all the time. You know, 782 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: and he's really talented. But when you're live three four 783 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: hours a week, that's a different deal. Plus the twenty 784 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: million dollars. I don't care what I've read. I haven't 785 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: even read this, but I'm just a gonna I'm going 786 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: to go ahead and assume that that means he's going 787 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: to be doing a lot of other content for ESPN, 788 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: and that would be a big part of the negotiation. Wait, 789 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: what else do you want me to do for this money, 790 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: or need me to do for this money, or do 791 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: I have to do to get this money? Well, the 792 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: flip side of that is, what's Romo doing for his Well, 793 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: those guys asked me about this, and CBS just doesn't 794 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: have that platform, you know, right, they got that sports network, 795 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: But that's not exactly ESPN. Okay, that's not that's not 796 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: going to be for him. The funny thing is, I'm 797 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: sure they're in a bazillion homes, not as many as 798 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: ESPN the CBS Sports Network. People listening right now, like, 799 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: what's that? It's an actual network that you have on cable? 800 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: What's cable? Some people are asking, But you get my 801 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: point here, But that's but that's kind of my point. 802 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: They're paying him eighteen million dollars a year and what 803 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: is it over a certain number of years? What did 804 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: I see that that Jerry Jones paid for a paid 805 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollars for the Cowboys and 806 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: Romo's getting paid like one hundred eight or ten years 807 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: or something like that. Anyways, it's I'm curious what CBS 808 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: would ask of Tony Romo. In addition, maybe they put 809 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: them on some of the golf stuff. I mean maybe 810 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: that's maybe that's something they do. Oh, I don't know, 811 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: but great minds think alike, that's what I said. Stuff, 812 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: But I'm on the golf stuff. Put them on. Look, 813 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't want Romo roaming the course, you know, I 814 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: don't want an amen corner. Okay, right, that you cannot 815 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: do that, right, right, But you know, when you're at 816 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: hilton Head, when you're covering some of these other events, 817 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: you're at Hartford, Connecticut, put Romo on the course, like 818 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: Gary McCord. Let him go to town and talk about 819 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 1: what he's seeing. I think that actually adds to the viewership. 820 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: You know better. Yet, um, it would be better if 821 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: you worked for NBC at that point, you know, because 822 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,840 Speaker 1: I made the point this warning about Michelson. You know, 823 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 1: when he's done, I mean, name name your price, Phil 824 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: to be a commentator, you know, replace Nick foul nick By. 825 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: You know he might like Nick. But if you get 826 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: Michaelson with nance. Look at the way Romo has energized Nance. Yes, 827 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: now you am Michelson with Nance. Forget about it, speaking 828 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: of Nance and kind of putting these all together. The 829 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: show you mentioned Peyton play Peyton's Places that he did 830 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, I didn't really know what to expect, 831 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: but basically Peyton told the history of the NFL and 832 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: did it in kind of a different quirky way and 833 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: it was really yeah, really good. Well, one of the 834 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: episodes he decided to do one devoted to just he 835 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: and Brady, just Manning and Brady talking about playing each other. 836 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: What that was like, and it's mark it's fantastic. But 837 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: the best part of about it is they good at 838 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: Nance's house and he's got like a he's got like 839 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: a shipping green. I don't it's a little bit long. 840 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: It's it's less than a Part three, right, so it's 841 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: like a short you know, it's probably gonna be like 842 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,879 Speaker 1: a seventy five eighty yard Part three, elevated, elevated Part three. 843 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: And both of them just take golf balls and they 844 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: just start just hitting and in between talking about certain things, 845 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: and it's really funny. Then they hit a couple off 846 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: his house and it's it's really really well done. But 847 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: it was really cool to hear Manning and Brady talk 848 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: about that. But they did it at Nance's house, and 849 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: Nance was the perfect foil to it. I mean, it 850 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: was really really good, and it just you know, those 851 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: shows have really showed Peyton's personality, which we've all known 852 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: that he's had. Now will that come out on Monday 853 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: night Fall? How much of that will be there if 854 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: he indeed is going to be the guy? Now here's 855 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 1: the question to me. If Peyton is not the guy, 856 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: then who is it? I have one option vers, Yes, 857 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: it's exactly who I was thinking Philips, But I don't 858 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: see it without Michaels. Really no, I don't see alm. No, No, 859 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 1: I don't see it. Look it might happen, I don't 860 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 1: see it the same way. There's not that Rivers isn't sophisticated, 861 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: but his his folksy delivery doesn't go okay. So the 862 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: main guys that we've talked, I never liked Madden and 863 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: Michaels together. I didn't think that was a match for 864 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: some reason. I mean, I look, they're both elite, but 865 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: I never liked the chemistry. So if the main guys 866 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: we've talked about who would you put Rivers with? I think, 867 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 1: you know, it's a great question of the you know, 868 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: I don't look at Rivers that way. I honestly don't. 869 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: I think Rivers is Terry Bradshaw in the studio. That's 870 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: done here. I think we've I think we've solved something. Johnny, 871 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: thank you. All right, that's it for the show.
