Mark, how you doing. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, good evening, and welcome to show. Johnny. I'm 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: fired up. I mean, we've got the legends out here 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 1: at bud Light Plaza having a little crawfish boil, so 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. And we've got OTAs going on, so 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. So I just feel the calendar just, 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: you know, page turning at a time here like in 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: the old movies, you know the calendar on the wall 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: with the single dates. Just here we go. It's May 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: twenty sixth. Let's rock May twenty sixth already, I mean 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: I feel listen. I'll be the first to tell you 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: the last fourteen fifteen months have been just unbelievable and 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: like anything we've ever seen. But there's parts of me 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: in which it's flown by, and there are parts of 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: me they are like, oh my gosh, it crawled along, 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: but it feels like getting to getting to the end 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: of it. It's like a surfer. I was watch these 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: surfing videos. They're so mesmerizing that the surfer he or 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: she will get to the end of the tube and 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: then just come out of it, and it's like so cool, 29 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: Like are they gonna make it out? I get so nervous, 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: and then yeah, they make it out. They make it 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: out perfectly. Right at the end, I feel like we're 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: about to escape out of the tube and get back 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: as close to normal as we possibly can. You know, 34 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: it's funny because it doesn't feel fast slow whatever. I 35 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: think you're right. At times it does, at times it doesn't. 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: And when you think about your adult life, when your 37 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: kid time moves at a slower speed. Right when you're 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: an adult, it's the big changes occur when you have 39 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: job change, or you move, or maybe a tragedy. You know, 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: obviously we will all want to avoid those, but that's 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: when you feel like these seismic changes occur in your life. 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: Everybody had a seismic change over the past twelve, thirteen, 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: fourteen months, every single human being. So it's just a 44 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: strange dynamic that way, and you and I being in 45 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: the world of professional football. It's also strange because we 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: had a season basically without fans, or with very few anyway, 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: and here we go, and it's so exciting to think 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: of NRG Stadium and all these other places being full. 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm so fired up for it. Yeah, it's gonna be 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun, and I can't wait. I can't 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: wait to see fans at training camp. I can't remember 52 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: which of the NFL network reporters, and they may have 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: been Tom Pelaso, who had reported that the NFL was 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: pushing towards having fans back at training camp, and one 55 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: other aspect with training camp making it an official start 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: date for twenty nine of the thirty two teams, which 57 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: is pretty interesting because it's not been that way. It's been. Well, 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: when did the Texas start, Well, we start so many 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: weeks out from our first preseason game. Okay, well, let's 60 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: play the preseason game on Thursday so we can start earlier. 61 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Now there's going to be a set date in which 62 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: all teams will report and all teams will start training camp. Mark, 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: that's gonna be That's gonna be wild that day. Obviously 64 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna be covering to Texas, but to turn an 65 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: NFL network that day and see all this activity all 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: over place, all starting at one particular time, is going 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: to be wild. And I cannot wait. I cannot wait 68 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: for that. Fans a training camp. Hopefully I get to 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: have my tower again, because that's really the most important 70 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: thing to meet Johnny is to have that tower that 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: I had last year. Let's see if we can get 72 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: that done. Why would you want the tower? I mean, 73 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, you get a 74 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: great view. I know you love the tower. I don't know. 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: There's just something being down low, being on the field, 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: being on the sideline that I will always love. So 77 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: I know, I know. But here here's the deal. We're 78 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna do those morning shows a training camp. You can 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: be in the tower now with the COVID relaxation of 80 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: COVID protocols, and then go downstairs after the show is over. 81 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: And so while the show is going on, you have 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: a bird's eye view of everything. It's a win win, Johnny. 83 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: It is a win win. That's genius and I love it. 84 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: And it's gonna lead me to our first gut reaction. Okay, 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: gut reaction is very very simple. I read you something, 86 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: a statement, something that comes out, whatever the case might be, 87 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: and I get your unadulterated, unfiltered reaction to it, and 88 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: it can run the gamut. You'll see that here tonight. 89 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: So here we go. Gut reaction to this tweet for 90 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: Judie Bautista, who is with the NFL NFL dot com, 91 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: so for NFL network as well. She tweeted the following. 92 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: Important to note that non vaccinated NFL players and personnel 93 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: will still be subject today. The testing must wear max mask, 94 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: of the facility must physically distance be quarantined after exposure. 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: No meals in cafeteria, however, Vaccinated personnel mostly back to normal. 96 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Big incentive. Your gut reaction. Seemingly we kind of started 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: talking that direction, so I started with this one. Your 98 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: gut reaction to what Judie Bautista tweeted. You know, Johnny, 99 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm not an anti vaxer. I'm really not. I think 100 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: that this is and look, I know about all the 101 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: debates I read everything. I just think it's well worth it, 102 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: all right, considering the game, it's well worth it to 103 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And you know, my brother, I'm just gonna 104 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: out him right here on the show. He's kind, he's 105 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: not really an anti vaxer, but this particular he's like, 106 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what it's gonna do. It hasn't been 107 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: out long enough. I'm thinking, you know what, bro, if 108 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: there's something really wrong with it, we're all on the 109 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: same boat together, so what the heck. I look, I 110 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: want to live my life. I live in the real world, 111 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I want to be at professional football 112 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: games and practices and mingle with the players and the coaches. 113 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, go ahead, you know, stick me or whatever 114 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: they say, right, whatever it. I got vaxed, and I'm 115 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: all about it. And look, I respect those who don't 116 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: want to. I respect those who still want to wear 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the mask even though they've had the two vaccines and 118 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: maybe had COVID before. Whatever you want to do is 119 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: fine as long as there's freedom here and we can 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: go about our business. So I'll vax. I mean, I 121 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: have vaxed, and I'm all fired up for this, and 122 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: I think that we're gonna have a real nice time 123 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: with it. I here's what I worry about. I'm just 124 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: being honest here, Johnny. Do you know this offhand? And 125 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I guess I should check this out before coming on 126 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: the air. But if you're vaxed and you test positive, 127 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: are you contagious? I thought I read somewhere that you 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: are not. And if that is the case, then I 129 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: think vax people shouldn't be tested at all. Right, But 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, I just feel like, you know, 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: I would hate to see somebody be vaxed, test positive 132 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: and not able to play or in my case, not 133 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: a little broadcast, because you know, you don't have any 134 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: symptoms and maybe you're not contagious at all, So what's 135 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: the harm of testing positive in that case? But I 136 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: guess that's another debate and people listening right now or 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: maybe driving their cars into bridge abutments with a rhetorical 138 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: or a rebuttal argument rather. But basically, if you're vaxed, 139 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: you're moving on to twenty twenty one. If you're not, 140 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: as the NFL has laid it out, you're back in 141 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's essentially what kind of you're looking at. 142 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: So I'm all for staying in the present and not 143 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: the past. Okay, gut reaction to this, brooks Kepka and 144 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: Bryson de Shambo is the rivalry that sports absolutely without 145 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: needs right now. Your gut reaction is it is not 146 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: what sports needs right now. It might be what golf 147 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: needs right now a little bit of this. But here's 148 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: the thing, Johnny, and I am a golf fan. I'm 149 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: not like totally plugged in. There's some guys in this 150 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: building who are, by the way, not the football side. 151 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean there might be, but guys in the business side. 152 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, I think both these guys are kind of 153 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: golf villains. Anyway, Kepka to me is a villain, and 154 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: with the mustache on Sunday, you know, as Phil is 155 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: trying to hold them off, I'm thinking this just plays 156 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: into that image. Keptka has this sort of terminator thing 157 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: going on. I'll be back. You know, I'm going to 158 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: bertie every hole down the stretch. He didn't do it 159 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: obviously on Sunday Deshambo. I think people get annoyed with 160 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: the hat and they're just that they could drive the 161 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: ball four hundred yards and still have a short game, 162 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: right and I don't want all the PJA stats. He's 163 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: a hell of a golfer. I really wish the rivalry 164 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: was more of good and evil, right. These guys are 165 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: both sort of to me on the evil side of 166 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: the character spectrum of golf. So I want to see, 167 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, a nice guy and look, Ricky Fowler to 168 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: some people, nice guy. And I don't know what you 169 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: think of him, Johnny, but you know he's hanging on 170 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: for dear life here at his career. I mean, he 171 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: had that you know, decent finish at the PGA and 172 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: that really helped him out. He almost had to finish 173 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: that was gonna get him a Master's exemption for next year. 174 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to qualify for the US so, but 175 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: he's got to play one of those Monday Tuesday Tin 176 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: Cup tournaments in order to get into the US Open. 177 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'd like him to be in that kind 178 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: of rivalry if he was playing better, you know. And 179 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: I could think of some other guys along the way here, 180 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: but you know, Johnny, golf needs more stars who are 181 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: they're like almost every time, almost every time, and I 182 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: don't think it has enough. But obviously kept Gooding de 183 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: SHAMBOA they are two of them right now. If you're 184 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: not following rising de Shamboo, he's gonna be playing with 185 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the match against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady. 186 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: So Tom Brady tweets two old guys against the young bucks. 187 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Bryson d Shambo better get used to laying up because 188 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: we know Aaron Rodgers isn't going for it. Crying emoji 189 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: gut reaction to the fact that Tom Brady might be 190 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: the best tweeter in sports right now. Don't you feel 191 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: like he's been liberated since leaving the Patriots? This optionality? Yeah, 192 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: he's talking trash on Twitter and he posted if you 193 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: if you saw it. Over the weekend, brooks Keepka was 194 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: doing an interview on Golf Channel and bryceon de Shambo 195 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: walked behind him and said something, and the still shot 196 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: of it is brooks Kepka with this look on his face, 197 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: like I can't believe this guy. De Shambo is in 198 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the background, you know, like the cat that eight the Canary, 199 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: and everybody's kind of doing memes to it. Brady just 200 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: started putting meme after me. I'm saying, Aaron realizing he 201 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: has to spend the whole day with Bryson. Bryson happy 202 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: to be like he just took these memes and just 203 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: went on and I'm like, holy cow, he's fantastic. Yeah, 204 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: he's really good. Reaction to him being the best tweeter 205 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: in sports? He is he that right now? Would we 206 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: give him that title right now? He's so entertaining, pretty close. 207 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: When you're that good, you can be that way, right, 208 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: When you're that good, he backs it up, you can 209 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: be that way. Now. He's not as good at golf 210 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: as Manning is. He's just not you know, Manning in 211 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: that T and T thing. It was on T and 212 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: T right last year wherever it was on. It was 213 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: one of the first sporting events we saw in COVID 214 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: when it was he and Phil versus Tiger and Tiger 215 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: is with Manning right anyway, it was. It was pretty 216 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: cool to see that, but I thought Brady didn't play 217 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, Brady's unbelievable on Twitter, really entertaining. 218 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: I hate to use the word likable because he our 219 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: hearts for so many years. But you know, Johnny, I 220 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: feel the way I do about Manning. That's how I 221 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: feel about Brady now now that we're kind of almost 222 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: sort of done with him because he's still in the league, 223 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: but at least he's in the NFC where he can't 224 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: haunt you on a regular basis. And you'd love to 225 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: see him try to in the Super Bowl because you'd 226 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: love to be there. I can sort of appreciate him, 227 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, a war as a person manning. I think 228 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: it is hilarious. Brady obviously hilarious. So it's good, it's 229 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: good for sports, good all around. It really is. I 230 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: knew there was one other comment, but it wasn't on Twitter. 231 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: He put it on Instagram underneath the picture of the 232 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: poster of he and Michelson against the Shambo and Rogers. 233 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: He he put two champions versus a scientist and a 234 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Jeopardy host. I'm like, that's is perfect. And he's not 235 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: a great golfer, but he's just he's having he's having 236 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: a blast with this. Is it's absolutely for all right, 237 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: next gut reaction, This finally happened, and it's about a 238 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: patriot and a cult to the teams that we obviously 239 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: just cannot stand sports hate wise, and it finally happened. 240 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: Drafted in nineteen ninety six, and that's gonna be a 241 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: theme with my next one. But in nineteen ninety six, 242 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots drafted a kicker from I believe 243 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: South Dakota State by the name of Adam Vinetari. Today, 244 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: on the Pat mcaviee Show, Adam Vinetari officially retired. What's 245 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: your gut reaction to him being finally gone? With all 246 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: the accomplishments, you know, vinet Terry has look. He kicked 247 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: a field goal here at overtime at oh three with 248 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: the Patriots to beat the Texans, and that was the 249 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: year the Patriots would win the Super Bowl later on 250 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: in this building. And that was a game that went 251 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: deep into overtime. I mean, Andrey Johnson was on that team. 252 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: It was year two of Texans history and I'll never 253 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: forget it. That was the first time we ever saw 254 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: him as an APA played for the Cults later on 255 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: for all those years with all the accomplishments. He has 256 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: My favorite note on him as he was still playing forever, 257 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: was this guy once tackled herschel walker. Adam Vinetarry once 258 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: tackled herschel walker on special teams obviously, and he chased 259 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: down herschel I guess it was a kick return and 260 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: Herschel was with Dallas. He eventually ended up back in Dallas, 261 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: and it was very cool that he did that once 262 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: upon a time and lasted as long as he did. 263 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: And it shows you how eras can sometimes connect, because 264 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: you'll do this with older players. You know, with Brady, 265 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: you could do it all day long. You know who 266 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: is still in the league playing who started eons before 267 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: when Brady started out, And it's kind of cool to 268 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: connect those things. So I like to do that with Vinetarry. 269 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: You know, he's a kicker, Johnny, I know how you 270 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: feel about kickers. He's one of the greatest ever. I 271 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: found it remarkable that the Patriots were able to replace 272 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: him with somebody who was equally as good in Gostkowski 273 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: for so long and they had such remarkable success with him. 274 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: But minit Terry too great with the cults and gosh, 275 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: I just want to throw up just talking about him. 276 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: But good that he's gone and great career. Congratulations. Well, 277 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: you think about all the things that had to go 278 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: right in two thousand and one for the Patriots, Adam 279 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: in Arry kicking a forty four, forty five plus or 280 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: somewhere in that distance you're of the fuel goal, forty 281 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: five yard fuel goal in the driving snowstorm. Just to 282 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: tie it and send it to overtime, to me is 283 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: one of the greatest plays there's ever been. And it's 284 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: hard to even think how somebody could have knocked that 285 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: field goal home. He actually easier one wasn't overtime, But 286 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: to knock that home to send it to overtime, I mean, 287 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: he was just he was just incredible and you're in 288 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: the end. Obviously it broke down. I mean he didn't 289 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: play last year. Twenty nineteen was not a great year 290 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: for him. I mean we saw that he missed i 291 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: think a field goal and or an extra point in 292 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: our game, and it was just like, wow, we're watching 293 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: him kind of you know, deconstruct if you will, just 294 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: or destruct and it's like, what's going on? But the 295 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: guy I've been around for so long, I think he'll 296 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: be a first ballot Hall of Famer as a kicker. 297 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: What that'd be interesting? But I think you should go on. 298 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Jan Stannery, the only kicker that's in the Inventitary gets in. Okay, Now, 299 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: this one comes out of something that I watched last night. 300 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: Your gut reaction to this, and before you react, I 301 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: might have to give you a just recall a little bit. 302 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: But you we're calling basketball at you, Massine six, so 303 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: you might you might get this. The nineteen ninety six 304 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: NBA Draft is the greatest draft of any sport all time. 305 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Take a listen to this draft, okay, Allen Iverson the 306 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: answer was first. Marcus Camby, who you followed, was second, 307 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: was a ten and ten guy for seventeen years of 308 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: his career. Sharif abdu Raheem averaged eighteen plus for twelve years, 309 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: Stefan Marberry, Ray Allen, Hall of Famer, Antoine Walker, Carrie 310 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 1: Kittles with number eight, some guy named Kobe Bryant one, 311 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: number thirteen, Steve Nash fifteen, Germano O'Neill, seventeen undraft. I'm sorry, 312 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: I forgot a few, Derek Fisher and then undrafted In 313 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: that draft was a recently named Hall of Famer Ben Wallace. 314 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: Five Hall of famers, four guys that were MVP twenty 315 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: plus championships all in that one particular draft. I don't 316 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: know that I can think of a better one, but 317 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: your gut reaction to the fact that that is the 318 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: greatest draft of any sport all time. Well, you know, 319 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: that's that's a draft near and dear to my heart, because, 320 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: as you said, I was a U mask and the 321 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: schedule the Minuteman had that year ninety six was unbelievable 322 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: because they did play Allen Iverson in the regional final 323 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: in Atlanta to get to the final four and beat him. 324 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: They beat Stephan Marbury and Georgia Tech. There were a 325 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: number of other guys. They actually beat Kentucky on opening 326 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: night but lost to them in the semifinals. So they 327 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: went one and one with Kentucky that year. And there 328 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: were a lot of other guys on the schedule who 329 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: were really great players, but not necessarily Hall of famers. 330 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: So I listen to the names in that draft and 331 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: I'm blown away. Also, Calipari not only coached Canby, but 332 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: then he goes to the nets and he drafts Kerry 333 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: Kittles instead. And John Nash was the GM but Caliperry 334 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: was calling a lot of the shots. And you know, 335 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: I don't have the exact political structure and hierarchy in 336 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: my pocket right now, but they could have drafted Kobe Bryant, 337 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: and they talked about it, but they felt like, Wow, 338 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, here we are, it's our first year. We're 339 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: gonna draft this high school kid, or you're gonna draft 340 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: more of a you know, serviceable, sure kind of thing. 341 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: For the eighth year, Ry Kittles, who was a hell 342 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: of a player coming out of what Villanova? Right, So 343 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't is he Villanov Anyway? They didn't 344 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: pull the chugger on Kobe Bryant, and perhaps they should have, 345 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: but maybe it was all a wire job anyway to 346 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: get him in Los Angeles and they knew that to 347 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: begin with. So that draft has a lot of storylines. 348 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Iverson alone is just such a story, such 349 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: a story. Here are the players drafted in between Carry 350 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: Kittles at eight and Kobe Bryant at thirteen, Samaki Walker, 351 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: Eric Dampier, Todd Fuller, fatality put a pencoat. So the 352 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: Lakers had to wait through those names, and then of 353 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: course Charlotte ends up making a pick. That's that's the 354 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: long held trivit answer. Who actually drafted Kobe Bryant. It 355 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: was the Charlotte Hornets. Two thousand eleven NFL Draft is 356 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: going to get close. Two thousand and three NBA Draft 357 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: with Lebron and Carmelo and d Wade is also very 358 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: very good and eighty three obviously in the NFL drafted 359 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: all those quarterbacks in the first round. This draft was 360 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: ridiculous and the documentary I watched last night was I 361 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: was just it was jaw dropping to see all the players. 362 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: And then the undrafted guy was Ben Wallace and he 363 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: has one of the best careers of all Johnny Samaki, Walker, Louisville, 364 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: UMass played them, Yeah, not Fuller, UMass played, that was 365 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: NC stayed up played, Yeah, Kittles was Villanova looked. Incredible draft, 366 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: incredible year, incredible time in sports. You won't see that. 367 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: You know. My kid, my fifteen year old, my one 368 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: man focus group for market research among teenagers, said you know, dad, 369 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: why is the NFL draft so much better than the 370 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: NBA draft? Just as far as the impact that everything. 371 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: I said, there was a time when the NBA draft 372 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: was super cool and super hyped, and that was one 373 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: of the times. I mean, when you had names, you know, 374 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: coming out like that, it was extremely exciting. Now it's like, 375 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: who are these guys? You know less you're a diehard 376 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: basketball fan, it's tough. The NFL draft has completely overtaken it. 377 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: We talked about the TV ratings on previous shows where 378 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: it's overtaken, the NBA Finals and World Series and everything else. 379 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: Last one, Okay, you've written article about this. I've been 380 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: on a state lesson twenty fourteen, so that's kind of 381 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: our starting point from twenty fourteen to the present. Okay, 382 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: the most impressive, slashed toughest road environment from fourteen till now, 383 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: in my opinion, was Philadelphia and twenty eighteen. What's your 384 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: gut reaction? All right, So this is a story in Houston, 385 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: Texas dot com Top five all time road environments and 386 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: the cults at the RCA Dome to me, were ridiculously 387 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: difficult because it was not only Manning and that team 388 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: and they were very good, but it was so loud 389 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: in there, and they were so well schooled. They would 390 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: behave like it was golf, like you were putting when 391 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: the Colts were on offense, and when you were on 392 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: offense you couldn't hear anything. I mean, it was crazy, John. 393 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: He was one of the loudest places I've ever been. 394 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: But since you've been with us on the sideline, I 395 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: have to say, and look, it has everything to do 396 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: with team right, but New England come on. New England 397 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: was ridiculous and the booth is low, so we're like, 398 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: we're in the stands, it feels like, and they're yelling 399 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: stuff to us. And then Josie comes on in the 400 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: second half. Josie's on a vacation. I just want to 401 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: I can't stand it. I can't wait to get a 402 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: win there. It's gonna be one of the greatest days ever. 403 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't care what their record is at the time, 404 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots, I don't care if they're you know, oh 405 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: and seventeen. I just want to beat them in that building. 406 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: That's it's so funny. I didn't even think about that. 407 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: I just remember looking up at twelve fifteen and the 408 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: game starts at one in Philadelphia, and I'm like, I 409 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: turned to somebody next to me. I think I've made 410 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: been deepest deepy. I said, look in the stands. She goes, yeah, 411 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: and I said, every seat is filled forty five minutes 412 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: before the game. I'm like, this is ridiculous. And it 413 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: was of all the environments that was as fun as 414 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: any to be in, that one in Philadelphia was us 415 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: un unbelievable. All right, Mark, you get an A plus 416 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: for your efforts on gut Reaction. Thank you for joining me, 417 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: my friend.

I don't know if the 430 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: people can see my wall decoration. This is really it's 431 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: not me. We had an intern by name of Nick 432 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: Patterson who is absolutely awesome, and during COVID he was 433 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: part of Tier two, which I was too, and Tyler Sutter, 434 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: so I'm in the part that was his office. So 435 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm not bothering SuDS on the other side while he's 436 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: doing his work. Oh so that's why, that's why I'm 437 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: in here. So my friends from tex Saggs were like, dude, 438 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: you just start throwing Marty grab beads up after a 439 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: little bit. I don't know. I mean, I didn't see it, 440 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: but Ben, you know, it's cool. It's it gives it. 441 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: It gives it vibe, as the kids say nowadays. Yes, 442 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: a vibe. Yeah, we talked. You know. I wrote a 443 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: little blurb about the vibe in the Texans locker room 444 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: on a training fe fields based off of what we 445 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: heard from Britt's Justin Britton and UH and KPL last week. 446 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: Kemp r lewis linebacker who comes to the Texans from Washington. 447 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: These guys have been around, um they actually played together 448 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: in Seattle, which was where Britt spent his entire career 449 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: before missing last season. And while I don't want to 450 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: go deep into each of their careers as as a 451 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: as like a conversation today, I do want to talk 452 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: about like there is a different idea around the Texans 453 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: because there's so many new faces, you know, and I 454 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: don't want to get too far into culture, because I 455 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: think culture is important, but I think cultures overplayed sometimes. 456 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: You know, there's you're never going to see a Super 457 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: Bowl champion. That's culture culture. It's an actual team. You know, 458 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: players win titles. Good players win titles, So culture can 459 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: be important. But I think if you have good players 460 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: and you get all that stuff figured out, that's that's 461 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: way more important. But they're pumped and it's fun seeing 462 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: this coaching staff and who's on it. You've got guys 463 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: who had success as head coaches and Lovey Smith. Romeo 464 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: Cornell is an advisor now, but he's around and he's 465 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: helping out. Cully's obviously the man in charge, but like 466 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: for example, John, yesterday, I was doing some research because 467 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: I was doing a little little listical thing on Robert Prince, 468 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: the wide receiver's coach, and there is a phenomenal article 469 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: that was written last September ish and then it was 470 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: republished December twenty fourth. I think when Prince had to 471 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: take over and be the interim coach for the Lions 472 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve because of COVID, but he was nicknamed 473 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 1: by the Detroit Receivers the CEO, the chief energy officer, 474 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: because they said he'd go into the lot of the 475 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: weight room and he would do muscle up. So like, 476 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: if you don't know what a muscle up is, this 477 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: is a chin up or a pull up. I'm sorry. 478 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: Hit ups like this, you know, you're just getting your 479 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: shit above the bar. Muscle ups are like you're going 480 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: all the way up and you get your whole body 481 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: above the bar. And he's doing that, and he's very, 482 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: very serious. He was getting on guys like Danny Amendola, 483 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Gola Day, Marvin Jones, guys who've been around and he 484 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: made them better. They've all said that to a man. 485 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: So you have like one hundred and fifty yard receiving day, 486 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna be on about why you should have had 487 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen because of this and this and this. 488 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: It's a very interesting makeup of coaches. He coached in 489 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: Japan in Tokyo back in the midden of late nineties. 490 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: This guy's been around the same thing. So it's gonna 491 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: be gonna be really interesting to see how this all translates, 492 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, if it does to success on the field 493 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: in the fall. I think one of the things I've 494 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: always I thought this is about coaching. It's funny, I 495 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: really come up with this philosophy, but it hit me. 496 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: I was a head coach in Florida and I went 497 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: to a clinic and it was run by a friend 498 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: of mine's dad, who I've gotten to be friends with 499 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: over the years, Larry's Airline, and Larry was the offensive 500 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: line coach at University of Cincinnati, and I hadn't seen 501 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: Cozy in years, and I was so proud because now 502 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: I was a head coach and I was gonna go 503 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: see him at this clinic that he was speaking. And 504 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: so he was speaking on a Friday night and everybody 505 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: else was speaking on a Saturday, and this was not 506 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: as they were just trying to get this clinic off 507 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 1: the ground, and so they had a few guys speaking 508 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 1: and I just remember going in and Coach Z was 509 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: drawing up a gap play, which is kind of like 510 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: a kind of like a power play, but with a 511 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: called a little nuanced different with gap play because your 512 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: gap in power used a lot as nomenclature kind of similar. 513 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: And so he goes through this and as he's going 514 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: through and he's talking about, well, you know when I 515 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: had when I had this sort of offensive lineman. Here 516 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: was a little wrinkle we used because he couldn't do this, 517 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: but he could do this. But then we had this 518 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: offensive lineman and he wasn't really good at this, and 519 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: he was sort of shorter. So we invented this technique. 520 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: And he talked about all the different things they did 521 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: because all the different players that he had been around. Well, 522 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: the next day I went to go see it was 523 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: a defensive line coach at a major Power five university 524 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: and he was just talking about defensive line and he 525 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: put up this video of an All American player guy 526 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: would end up going in the pros as the first 527 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: round draft pick. And he's showing the different skills and 528 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: the different things that he could do technique wise, and 529 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching it, going, I don't know everybody like that guy. 530 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't have anybody like that guy. And as he 531 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: continued going on, he would talk about the things that 532 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: he would do in large part because he had that guy, 533 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: and I'm like, but wait a second, yeah, I'm not 534 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't have that I gotta you know, And that's 535 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: what made me think of coaches. He the next day, 536 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: because he had been at Tulane, he'd been at Cincinnati, 537 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: he didn't have the five star players. They had to 538 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: develop guys from what they had and took what they 539 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: had and give it to players, and once coaches. He 540 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: got to the NFL, and he could take some of 541 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: those things that he learned and he could put it 542 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: with that talent. All of a sudden, it's like, WHOA, 543 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty good marriage. But this coach 544 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: is basically putting up like, well, yeah, just do it 545 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: like this. Well, yeah, you can do that with that guy. 546 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: He's amazing. But if that's all you know, then you're 547 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: never gonna be able to coach at a paper bag. 548 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: And so that's why I love seeing coaches that have 549 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: different experiences that they can bring to it, whether it's 550 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: in a different league, whether it's with different types of players. 551 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: They can take that and then add it to their 552 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: coaching repertoire and end up being an instructive asset for 553 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: those particular players as opposed to well, you know, let's 554 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: just roll out the balls and play because you guys 555 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: have better talent than everybody else. So I love, love, 556 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: love coaches that have been around and they've seen the best, 557 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: and they've seen the worst, and so they can adapt 558 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: based on what they've seen before. And a guy with 559 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: such a travel here's some people like, oh, he's never 560 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: in the same place year after year. But in the end, 561 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: what that does is it makes that coach that much 562 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: more adaptable to the situation that he's going to see 563 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,239 Speaker 1: not only in the same building year to year, but 564 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: in the league year to year, because it's going to 565 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: change every single year. So I love I love CEO. 566 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: That's a good one. I want to jump on that. 567 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: You just bring that up. So you're talking about what 568 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about coaching in general. But for example, Prince, 569 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: he has, like you said, been around to a lot 570 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: of different spots. Now, Detroit was where he was the longest. 571 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: He had been there since twenty fourteen, and he stuck there. 572 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: That's a long time. That's it's really it's different than 573 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: his record because he was there through three different ownerships, 574 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: through you know, three different coaches. He was hired by Caldwell, 575 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: stuck stuck through through all that, through that that coaching change. 576 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: But before that, he had bounced around. He'd been to Boise, Colorado, 577 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: State Portland. I mean, he basically did a tour of 578 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: the whole Upper Northwest, the Great Northwest. He was like 579 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: Lewis and Clark, boiled into a football coach. You know, 580 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: he's from California, he grew he was born in Okinawa, 581 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: lived his first seven years there, so he had been 582 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: around and then found stability these last few years. And 583 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: it was fascinating to see and then talking about offensive 584 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: line because you just brought up coaches the airline while 585 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: the new offensive line coaches, James Camping spent an eternity 586 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. I think there might be only one 587 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: other assistant coach who was ever there for a longer 588 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: duration than he was than Camping was when I was 589 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: doing the research on him. And let me think about it. 590 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Who's Who's the signature name that he coached, probably on 591 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line, David Bactieri. David Bactiari wasn't the second 592 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: or third overall pick of the draft? Was he? John? No, 593 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: he wasn't even close. I don't know what his overall 594 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: position was, but I know he was drafted in the 595 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: fourth round. So you're coming at least means and by 596 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: no means am I saying that, Oh, bok r is 597 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: who he is solely because of camp He's not you 598 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: give the credits bock Terry, but you got to think 599 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Camping played a little bit of a role in it 600 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: and could maybe accentuate some of the stuff that he's 601 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: got to work with here, perhaps, no doubt. I mean, 602 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: bock Terry was was one on nine overall, and look, 603 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: that was probably a combination of teams going well, I 604 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't see yeah, butticism, I don't know, 605 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: and then you get a guy like that falls to 606 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: the fourth round. But I guarantee you you said with 607 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: David Backyard and you said, hey, what did James Campon 608 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: mean to your development? I would imagine you get a 609 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: pretty good earful. And that's the thing when you look 610 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: at the Packers over the years that that Camping was there, 611 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: they did not put a first round, second round emphasis 612 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: much of the time, if at all, on offensive lineman. 613 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: I remember Jason Spriggs was drafted. I can't remember. I 614 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: think he was late. Was the first round, second round, 615 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: I can't remember. I think he was a second he 616 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: second round pick, but he was about the only one 617 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: I can remember that was a high pick that really 618 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: didn't pan out. But as like T J. Lang, Corey 619 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: Linsley back tr those guys all really developed under James Campon. 620 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: You know, Brian Bulager was another guy. Now he was 621 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: a first rounder, but he was another guy that developed 622 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: and was the rock on that right side where black 623 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: Tar was over on the left side. So that's the 624 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: thing that I'd love to see. And it kind of 625 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: goes back to my thought with Coach Z was just 626 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: about how you developed players, because what's going to work 627 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: and just and think about an offensive line for a second. 628 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: I Learmy Tuncile will probably do anything athletically that any 629 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: offensive linement league can do that any lineman can do. 630 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: He's gonna be different from Titus. So a technique that 631 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: could work for a Laramie may not work for Titus. 632 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: Now there might be some things for Titus because Titus 633 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: is I think a little bit more powerful. There might 634 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: be some technique that Titus is going to be able 635 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: to use that maybe Laramie doesn't. A user isn't effective using. 636 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: So as a coach, you've got to be able to 637 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: say to those guys, you can't stay off across across 638 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: the board, Well, my two tackles should be using these 639 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: different techniques or these techniques. No one might do one 640 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: thing I might do the other. The magic of coaching 641 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: is knowing that, Okay, I'm getting the max out of 642 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: them and they're doing it the way that makes sense 643 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: for them and that makes sense for the team. And 644 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: that's what I love and a coach. And that's what 645 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: Coach Z basically taught me that night, was You're not 646 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: going to have all the same guys. You can't block 647 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: this all the same way. You can't do this all 648 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: the same way. And I've kind of filtered that through 649 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: to kind of everything that I that I do, and 650 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: it really helped me as a coach and as a 651 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: teacher to realize, Okay that that kid doesn't learn like 652 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: this one does this one likes visual. It's even like 653 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: my own kids. You know, my son wants to do 654 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: everything in his head. My daughter wants to write everything down. 655 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: And trying to help them, especially math because I was 656 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: my subject. Trying to help them and figure out what work. 657 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: That's the magic. And when you've been around, when you've seen, 658 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: when you can you know, think back to man, what 659 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: did I do with that? Oh man? We had that 660 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: receiver at Humboldt State back in eighty seven and he 661 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. It was at Humboldt State. Yeah, he started. 662 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: He started at San Bernardino Valley College, played there two years, 663 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: and then went to Humboldt State finish his playing career there, 664 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: and then he was like a GA I think right 665 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: out of college or shortly thereafter. So weird tribute fact. 666 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: I think Humboldt State's football program shut down a few 667 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: years ago after they had Alex Kappa. I believe now 668 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: that that could have come back. I'm not totally sure, 669 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: but I want to say that they closed the program down. 670 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: Maybe they came back. Um. Yeah, their last season was 671 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. I think Alice Cappell was either that year 672 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: or the year before now. He was playing for the 673 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Tampa Buccaneers. Either way, the point being, God, why did 674 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: Humboldt Stay come up to him? He's the first You 675 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: probably seen that. Yeah, yeah, I've probably seen it at 676 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: some point. Anyways, The point being you can refer back 677 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: to some player that was too short, too small, too 678 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: slow to to something, but you've got something out of 679 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: him and out of you know him or her, depending 680 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: on what sport you coach, and that you can apply 681 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: and say, hey wait a second, and when I had 682 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: this guy, you know I had this player, we did 683 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: this with them, and I think that's the that's the 684 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: point of having experienced coaches that have been around and 685 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: seeing some different things and and obviously camping getting away 686 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: from Grembey for a few years, seeing some different things, 687 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: and now bring it to Texans and hopefully getting that 688 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: production out of the night. That's it's such an important 689 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: part of the coaching business because we're not all blessed 690 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: with guys, you know, five guys like Laramie. You know, 691 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: I could go and coach Laramie like, hey, Laramy, go 692 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: block him and he'd be like, Okay, I mean, and 693 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: we'd love for it to be that easy, but it 694 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: is not. But you know, hopefully you know, or let's 695 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: just we'll get the point. And that is when you 696 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: have different experiences and you're not blessed with all those 697 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: players and that talent, you gotta find a way to 698 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: do it. You gotta find a way to get it done. 699 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: The campus gotten it done, Robert Prince has gotten it done, 700 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully they'll get it done here over the Texas. 701 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: That is definitely the hope. Get it done. No matter what. 702 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: All right, we get back, we go around then all 703 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: there's always action and we'll discuss it next right here 704 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: in Texas Axis. We got one fast seating in this Wednesday. 705 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: They should Texas All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. 706 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. Let's go around the NFL 707 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: as A Wednesday in the middle of week has always 708 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: got some It's always got great stuff. Roger Goodell spoke 709 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: today and he was asked about vaccinated and all the 710 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: teams are doing from a vaccination standpoint, and the number 711 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: he said. He said thirty of thirty two teams with 712 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: Tier one Tier two employees are ninety percent or more vaccinated, 713 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: and he said the other two teams are eighty five percent, 714 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: reaching or getting towards that ninety percent threshold. That I 715 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 1: thought was pretty on good news and hopefully it continues 716 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: us moving in a direction where we can all experience 717 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: football in twenty twenty one the way it was intended 718 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: to be, with a lot of crazy fans, food and 719 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: great football all throughout the country in the world. Yeah, 720 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: they got two games in London Falcons, Jets, Jags, and 721 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: I forgot Dolphins. I think, yeah, I think that's who 722 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 1: it is. Anyhow, good news there, Roger Goodell had for everybody. 723 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: This was also good news. I thought the league at 724 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 1: the NFL and the NFL Players Association have agreed to 725 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: a salary cap ceiling of two hundred eight point two 726 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: million dollars for twenty twenty two. Now, in the salary cap, 727 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people will always old, what's 728 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: the salary cap number? What salary cap number? What a 729 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: lot of people forget is there's also a floor too, 730 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 1: and that forces teams to have to go spend to 731 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: get to that floor. So there's not some teams spending 732 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year and some team and a 733 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: bunch of teams right at the cap because you know, 734 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: a team is trying to save money or you know, 735 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: do the Bengals thing, or whatever the case might be. 736 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: So they haven't come to what the floor is going 737 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: to be, but they know the ceiling for twenty twenty 738 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: two is gonna be two hundred and eight point two million. 739 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: And I bring this story up because under there are 740 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people that I've run into that I've 741 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: talked about twenty twenty two about the Texans contractual situation 742 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: leading towards twenty twenty two and what it could be 743 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: It could be that the Texans are sitting on some 744 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: serious salary cap room. Now I've always said this about 745 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: salary cap room. Two fans, it's man spent all the money. 746 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: Let's go two organizations. You gotta think years out, like, Okay, 747 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: who's up for a big time deal? Who do we 748 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: have to keep an eye for it. It's like the Colts. 749 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: The Colts have had I think, I don't know eighty 750 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: five to ninety million dollars under the cap this year, 751 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 1: but they also know and they gotta pay Quinton Nelson 752 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: and Darius Leonard massive deals coming up there already, and 753 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: now they're paying Carson Wentz too, So that salary cap 754 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: goes away in a hurry. However, when you've got two 755 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: hundred and eight point two million as opposed to the 756 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: one eighty two point five this year, that's a significant jump. 757 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: I got a feeling that our Texans are going to 758 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: be in great shape come twenty twenty two when that 759 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: rise in the salary cap ceiling goes up. That was 760 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: fun we mentioned earlier. Adam vine Terry announced his retirement 761 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: today on the Pat McAfee show. I think the final 762 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: numbers were twenty four seasons. It's amazing to think twenty 763 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: four seasons a kicker not kicker, doesn't matter to me. 764 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: Twenty four NFL seasons. Now, going in the NFL Hall 765 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: of Fame, you don't have to pick between, like you're 766 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: doing baseball, Well what hat or you're gonna go into 767 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: the baseball Hall of Fame. You don't have to worry 768 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: about it. But it didn't get me thinking Patriots or Colts. 769 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty close. You have packed he's had on both 770 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: won Super Bowls with the Patriots, went on a Super 771 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 1: Bowl with the Colts. I don't asking me. That's gonna 772 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: be a tough, tough call, no doubt about that. There's 773 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: a lot more going on. We'll hit more more of 774 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: it tomorrow. We'll also have John McClain, the general on 775 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, tomorrow we get to see the Texans 776 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: up close and personal, and we will give to you 777 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: tomorrow our thoughts from right off the practice field. Tomorrow. 778 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be in the morning, but we'll 779 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: save him for six o'clock. We'll have plenty to say 780 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: about it. I'm very very sure as we see this 781 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: iteration of the Texans, the twenty twenty one team for 782 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: the very first time, so we'll be back tomorrow.
