1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking diving for the pilot that he's

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: got it. Razzle te touchdown the few stands and the

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Texans go in front. There is no off season for

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans game day. He's every day. We had

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: a lot of energy and we brought a lot of

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: spark for this organization. Five nights a week. They hits

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: keep on coming out. The Texans say they have it,

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: and they do. No, it's Texans all excess, all right, Texans.

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Good evening. Mark Vanderman with you tonight. It's Thursday. That

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: means the General. John McClain joins us this evening. General,

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Welcome up board. How you doing, my friend? I'm doing great, Mark,

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: care are you? I'm doing great? So your thoughts on

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Weaver who met with the media yesterday. We have

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: more stuff coming out with him. But the new Texans

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator this offense of course at this offseason. Of course,

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: he's been around for a long time, as he played

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: from two thousand and six through two thousand and eight,

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: and he's been coaching D line here, but now he's

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the DC. Your thoughts, John, I think when I saw

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: the schedule last week, the first thing I felt was

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: sympathy for Anthony Weaver to have to have the start

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: of his career as a defensive coordinator against Patrick Maham,

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Lamardar Jackson, Ben Roethlisberger and Kirk Cousins. Not only is

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: that the toughest opening stretch of the season forty four

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: and twenty no other team is even close to that,

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: but those four quarterbacks have a combined rating last season

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: of one or eight point seven. But on the other hand,

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: at least you should be healthy early in the season.

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Anthony's always been when I say slick, I don't smooth,

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: a smooth talker. And I'll say that because when he

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: was a player, he was insightful. He's analytical, he was cooperative,

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: and when we get to interview him as his position

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: coach a few times of years, he's always real good.

34
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: He's funny, it's got a great sense of humor. He's

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: learned under a lot of really good people. He pointed

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: that out Urban Meyer, Romeo Cornell, Rex Ryan. He's learned

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: from a lot of good people. And this is his time.

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: And people think that there's a good there's I say

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: a good chance. There is a chance Anthony Weaver can

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: be a head coach in the NFL. He's certainly got

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the background, and now the team is not going to

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: happen overnight. The team, specifically the defense has got to improve,

43
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: and I'm really eager to see what he does. Unfortunately,

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: we're not going to see anything that he's going to

45
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: show even when they get on the field until a

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: regular season because he's you know, they're you know, they

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: don't disclose anything in training camp or preseason or when

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: they practice against another pun and John, I think everybody

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: loved the comment about he wants the defense to be

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: tough like Houston is tough. And he made reference actually

51
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: in the season ticket member call that we did a

52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: little bit later. Listen to this comment about the defense

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: and it started off with the pass rush getting after

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. What I can promise is that we're gonna

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: do everything in our ability to affect these quarterbacks. The

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: game has changed. It's not like when I've played in

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: people line up in twenty one personnel and they're trying

58
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: to get three yards in a cloud of dust. They

59
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: got these quarterbacks Now with the way the rules are,

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: they're trying to sling this ball over the players. Well

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: they can sling it, but I promise you we're gonna

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: try to make them pay for it. You grown up Houston,

63
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: it was the House of Pain, and we're gonna do

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: everything we can to try to try to get some

65
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: of that energy back in a stadium. Defensively, John the

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: House of Pain reference, I liked that a lot. I mean,

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: this is bulls on Parade of course for the Texans

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven, and the House of Pain, I mean

69
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that's late eighties stuff with Jerry Glandville. What do you

70
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: remember about the House of Pain? Before the Wailers hosted

71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: a game against San Diego, Robert Lyles, outside linebacker, walked

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: down as a captain, shook hands with the Chargers, who said,

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: welcome to the House of Pain. Robert, who was coaching

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: for the XFL Roughnecks. Robert was into the martial arts

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and they do Joe is a House of Pain, and

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: that's what he called it. And he caught on because

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: they were good at the time. They also led the

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: NFL and personal fouls and with the dirtiest team in

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: the league under Gladville, but they were the nickname caught

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: on and at the time when they were the playoffs

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: every year and I guess this would be next door

82
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: to the House of pain. But Anthony knows what it takes.

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: He's done it. He's got a lot of young guys

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: in his front seven who if J. J. Watt could

85
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: stay healthy, Charles and many who make the kind of

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: improvements you make between your first and second seasons. Usually

87
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin impros in his second season with the Texans

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: third overall. Maybe Duke casual four bounces back from his

89
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: rupture to kill it he's tendon, and then Johnson Grenard.

90
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be hard for rookies and

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to contribute much early because of the not having field

92
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: coaching inn all season. But I look for I really

93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: look for Ross Blacklock. Put him in there and pass

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: these situations, say shoot that gap, get the quarterback. You

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: know that's one of the not easy do on the field,

96
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: But that doesn't require a lot of thinking like some

97
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: things do. So he's got a lot to work with

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: and I know he's fired up about it. He's been

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: helping coach the pass rush for quite a while and

100
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm fired up to see what he can do. And

101
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I know he's fired up about it as well, because

102
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity. He's been working really hard for

103
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: John McLean joining us from the Houston Chronicle last week.

104
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: We visited right before the schedule came out, so you

105
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: and I have not had a chance to talk on

106
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: the air about the schedule. You mentioned how tough the

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: start is for the Houston Texans. Have you had a

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: chance to look around the division, see what the other

109
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: teams are dealing with the Titans finishing with five out

110
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: of seven on the road, things like that, your thoughts

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: on how the schedule might play out division wise. I

112
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: did a column this week. I broke down the Texans schedule.

113
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: I am going three one, three, two four and finished

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: splitting the last four and going ten six and win

115
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: in division. And I said they would win a game

116
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon in the Wildcard round and then go

117
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: on the road, and I would save that for another column.

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: And the thing that got me about the schedule with

119
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: the Texans, I was astonished the one primetime game. Now,

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't care what people say about nationally televising on Thanksgiving,

121
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: that's not the prime time. Considering how good they were

122
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: last year, how exciting, how phenomenal the shot Watson was,

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I was just stunned, and they're gonna have more possibilities

124
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: to be flexed this year. The Saturday night and the

125
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Saturdays or Sunday game against Indie in December could be

126
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: Saturday Night. But right now, that's the thing that jumped

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: out at me. And I have the Texans wain the

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: division for the fifth time in six years. Wow, what

129
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: about the Patriots having five primetime games without Brady John

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I think after WI people are going

131
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: to be tired of watching them. I have sent in

132
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: a thing for a website today. They asked me to

133
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: predict the records of all teams, and I predicted them

134
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: he and eight, mainly because of Bill Belichick. But remember Mark,

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: they didn't just lose Tom Brady. They lost a lot

136
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: of players. They had serious salary cap issues that are

137
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be cleared out next year. They're kind of

138
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: taking a lump and maybe Jared Steadham he threw five passes.

139
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady threw four as a rookie and the rest

140
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: is history. But if Bill Belichick believes and Jared staid him,

141
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. But Steadham has a problem

142
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: like Brady end he didn't have a lot of talent

143
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: around him, and I thought last year for Tom Brady

144
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to do what he did help them go twelve and four,

145
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: even though they bobbed out in the playoffs to the Titans,

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty incredible considering how much that

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: offense had deteriorated, especially and wide receiver tight end John

148
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: A few hours ago, I put up a poll on

149
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Twitter at Texans Voice planning our preseason TV broadcasts. If

150
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: stadiums need to be empty, that's if they need to

151
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: be empty, what's the best crowd noise option? People have

152
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: read the stories about Fox possibly using fake crowd noise.

153
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Joe Buck tweeted about that today. But what do you

154
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: think because I broke the options as fake noise on TV,

155
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: fake noise in the stadium that you'd hear on TV,

156
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: only music or sound effects of sorts in the stadium,

157
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: or only natural sound, in other words, no added effects anywhere.

158
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this? Well, you can't possibly

159
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: have no added effects because then you're gonna hear the

160
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: players cussin four letter words at each other. You're gonna

161
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and you can't tell them not to do it, because

162
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: when you're hitting somebody, you're not thinking about it when

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: your intensity level is turned up to ten, you're not

164
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: thinking about the fact you can be heard. It's not

165
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: the NBA, So I think they should pump in some

166
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: crowd noise, not to make it where it's overbearing, but

167
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: just have it lightly in the background. We've been watching

168
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: sitcoms with fake crowd, fake crowd out noise and laugh

169
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: tracks for decades. Why not the NFL, And if you could,

170
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: if you did it now, I believe that the media

171
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: is not going to be loud to stadiums. They'll let

172
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: you in because you can go in your booth by yourself,

173
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know how you guys are

174
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: six feet apart. You're gonna have to use two booths.

175
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: But the Atlantic game in two thousand and eleven is

176
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: still the loudest crowd I've ever heard in Energy stadium.

177
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: That includes the playoffs. Because they came back t J

178
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Yates fans knew they had to get behind him. I've

179
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: still never heard anything like it. You should go get

180
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: that crowd noise and put that in every game. And

181
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: I think not just piping it over TV. They got

182
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: to put it in the stadium. Players don't want to

183
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: play it a quiet stadium. They don't play as you know,

184
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: quiet practices. They got music, they got crowd noise. Well

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: move it to game day. Yeah, I think there's a

186
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: way to do it with sound effects. I might go

187
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: over that later in the show, but we'll talk about that, John,

188
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: What is your feeling, What is the latest feeling you

189
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: have on how these games are going to go down,

190
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: how they will be presented when we get back to football,

191
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: which could start three months from tomorrow, of tonight, tomorrow, yesterday,

192
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think there's no way the NFL can

193
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: start on time. I think no way they can have

194
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: fans in the stands based on everything we're seeing. If

195
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: you forget about the politicians because they only care about themselves,

196
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: and look at and look at what the medical experts say,

197
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: and the reason this virus is so bad is so contagious,

198
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: and so what I what I can't figure out college

199
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: football is going to play come l or high water

200
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: because the schools are so desperate for the football income.

201
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: But what I can't understand is say the first game

202
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: of the years October the first and Achieves are hosting

203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the Texans, and they have to be tested almost every

204
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: two or three days and then all of a sudden,

205
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: on Friday night, Patrick Mahomes test come back positive. Do

206
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: you cancel a game because he's been around his teammates

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: all week. His teammates could be contagious. The coaches, the trainers,

208
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: people had taped his ankles, everybody. What do you do

209
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: when a player or two test positive. You can't run

210
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: him out there like you do with an injury and

211
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: hope he's going to be okay. You run the serious risk.

212
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: And I think people be stupid to think this isn't

213
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: going to happen until we get a vaccine. There's going

214
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: to be players testing positive, just like in that European

215
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Soccer League they tried to crank it up to three

216
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: players had it and they had to shut it back down.

217
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: So that's something I worry about the most. And that's

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: not even considering the fans. But I think the longer

219
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: they wait, the better. And I know they have a

220
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: plan to start in October to finish September twenty eight.

221
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: To be devastating not to have the pro Ball, of course,

222
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: but I think we could do without it at least

223
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: one year, and if they had to, they'd go fourteen games.

224
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: I know, it'd be terrible if the first two games

225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: were canceled. The Texans didn't have to play the Chiefs

226
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. I think if we're gonna shut stuff

227
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: down and shut offices down, workplaces down when one person

228
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: tests positive, will never reopen. It'll never know. I mean,

229
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: that will be a civilization as we do. We have

230
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: to accept and I'm not just talking to the NFL here.

231
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: We have to accept that people are going to get

232
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: this and people have to be willing to sort of

233
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: live with it and and move through it somehow, And

234
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: that's just the nature of it all. I just I

235
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: don't see any other way until there is a vaccine,

236
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: and even those aren't full proof. People get flu shots

237
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: every year so and other vaccines. So I don't know.

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to get it into this kind of conference.

239
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: Risk dying. As Blake Snail said from the rays, he

240
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: said he wouldn't take a pay cut because if I

241
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: come back, I'm risking dying. I'm risking exposing my family,

242
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: and anybody that gets around other people until there's a

243
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: vaccine is risking it. And if you put them out

244
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: there and you say, okay, well we're gonna have to

245
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: live with the consequences and people, not just healthy athletes,

246
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: but they go home and talk to their see their

247
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: parents or something. Their parents are older, and all of

248
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: a sudden they get sick. You talk about the guilt,

249
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: and what about the liability factor as well. Yeah, there's

250
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot to consider, and we need great data. I mean,

251
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: we need accurate mountains of data so we can see,

252
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, who's affected exactly, how it's all going down.

253
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: We get these raw numbers and it's kind of like

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: when you get some of this data, it's like getting

255
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: the score of a preseason game. It's like, are you're

256
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: not really telling me what's going on with this data.

257
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: I need to know a little bit more. I need

258
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: to look within to see a little more. All Right,

259
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,359
Speaker 1: So we don't want to turn this into a COVID conversation,

260
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: but let's talk about some other things going on around

261
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: the league. So the Rams need a few more bucks

262
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: for their stadium. Hum, another five hundred million. Your thoughts

263
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: on what's going on in southern California that stadium. The

264
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: prize keeps going up up up. They can't you know,

265
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: in La County, And there's gonna have a lockdown for

266
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: another three months. But the stadiums in La County. The

267
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: teams don't practice in La County, and so they should

268
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: still be able to practice if the state opens it up.

269
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: But stand Cronkey, that thing's going to end up being

270
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: three times what they thought it would be. And I

271
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: would imagine because of the lockdown, and even though they're

272
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: still working on it, that has to affect them in

273
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: some capacity. So the NFL owners are good at bailing

274
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: out each other loans coming from the league office, and

275
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe Cronkey's bitten more than he can chew. They're not

276
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: getting as much as money from the Chargers. Chargers can't

277
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: sell squat that money that they had airmarked for PSLs

278
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: for Cronky from the Chargers, it just didn't happening. And

279
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: then the fact that so many people are losing their

280
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: jobs and taking pay cuts, including big companies, that's less likely.

281
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: I think that the timing of opening a new stadium

282
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: is awful because of the coronavirus, and the Las Vegas

283
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: stadium seems be they got a much better chance the

284
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Raiders do of openings taking in Las Vegas on time,

285
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: I think than they do in La I was really

286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: in much in a much better mood before we went

287
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: on the air. All right, John Aaron Rodgers will speak

288
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: to the media tomorrow. How unhappy or happy is he

289
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna be? Is he gonna put on as a happy

290
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: face for this thing? And of course the Texans do

291
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: play the Green Bay Packers this year. Of course he's

292
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna put on a happy face. He's not gonna say

293
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: anything negative about that. And here's something else they're gonna say, Well,

294
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Brett Farves said he talked to you, and Brett said,

295
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: you said this, So what's he going to do? Called

296
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: brat a liar? And he's what he's I'm sure he'll

297
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: avoid the thing about Farve and say, look, guys, here's

298
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: how I feel. And he'll just totally ignore what Farves said.

299
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: But Farves kind of putting Rogers in the same situation

300
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: he was in. He was mad, he was better. He

301
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't help Rogers. They're friends now, but they weren't it first.

302
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: And he says, not my job to help him. Well,

303
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I see, I believe most veterans would tell you they

304
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: help young guys. And I think it's a bad look

305
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: when you say it's not my job. And I think

306
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: that's not exactly what Farvee said. Looking back, he said

307
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: he used to let Aaron watch film with him after

308
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: practice when he was young. And it was really though

309
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: Cordon Rodgers the third year before Farvee kind of accepted

310
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: him in the situation. But Aaron Rodgers is going to

311
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: say all the right things, John, what about this story

312
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks were considering treating Russell Wilson to the

313
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Browns with the number one pick in the draft prior

314
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: to the twenty eighteenth draft. What happened there? Nobody loves

315
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: to start up like Mike Florio and Pro Football Talk,

316
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: And as the story said, it was just floated because

317
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: he was coming up on a big contract. No way

318
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: they had talks that were serious. It's just amazing what

319
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: some people come up with because it gets a lot

320
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: of attention. But if they thought about, Okay, do we

321
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: want to pay him this kind of money now, they

322
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody to take his place. So I don't

323
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: put any stock in that at all, John, anything else

324
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: happening around the National Football League you want to bring

325
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: attention to what are you working on? I'm working on

326
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: thing on Sunday about the two thousand and eleven off

327
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: season when players were locked out, and how they prepared

328
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: for that season compared to the way they're having to

329
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: prepared today. And I have a column that's tomorrow in

330
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: the Chronicle. It's on Texas SportsNation dot com right now

331
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: about we all talk about the great offenses the Texans

332
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: go against. They got defenses that are no slops that

333
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: they're going against, especially pass rushes and secondaries. And so

334
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I did a lot of research about the defenses on

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: their schedule, and so I hope people will check it out.

336
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,919

Speaker 1: had to do was just flip a switch with no.

461
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: They came out, replaced the line, they ran the line,

462
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: they dug the line in the next day, put it underground.

463
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they got me completely. They wouldn't leave until

464
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: I was good on all my machines. They essentially got

465
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: me through the NFL draft. So Exfinity, huge tip of

466
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 1: the cap to those guys. I had a weird thing

467
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: happened on a zoom call today where somebody was speaking

468
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: and I never heard this. I've heard it drop out

469
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: or like, you know, just yeah whatever it does, but

470
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: it the voice actually slowed down, like and I slow down,

471
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they tried to catch

472
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: up and I'm gonna beet up and it was in

473
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: the octave increased or the pitch increased. I never heard

474
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: that before. And H No, you were not on the

475
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: same call. That was a diffuse. You might have been

476
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: on that call. Yeah, I think you were. I think

477
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: you were on that call. Yeah, okay, anyway, that was

478
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: a call. So let's do this now, Johnny, uh boy.

479
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the John McLean segment,

480
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: but I am so depressed after talking to him, and

481
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: it's because, oh my gosh, we were talking about COVID

482
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: and the and sports and playing and things that can happen,

483
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: and what do you do if if Patrick Mahomes tests positive?

484
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: To you shut the whole league down? I mean, oh

485
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, I can't. Uh I can't. You know, when

486
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: people just say I can't, I can't, just I can't.

487
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: I can't go there right now. Let's get through tonight,

488
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: Let's let's play ball, Let's make this happen, come on somehow,

489
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: some way. Uh, but let's I know, it's funny. My

490
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: wife and I had had kind of a similar conversation,

491
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: uh lunch, you know, we just kind of sat there

492
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: and just kind of talked about things that that you

493
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: and I have been talking about, that people have been

494
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: talking about, what the nation's been talking about. And it

495
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, there's so there's so much

496
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: information mixed with misinformation, like what do you trust? What

497
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: do you not trust? Like, oh, it's so so frustrating.

498
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: And then I think that people depending on how they are.

499
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean that zoom call that we were on, I

500
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: mean we were listening to a doctor talk to us

501
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: from Houston Methodist and he was positive by nature, and

502
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: so listening to him, I felt like, Okay, yeah, good, wow, Okay, maybe,

503
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: And I think it just has to do with what

504
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of what you know? Are you more optimistic about life?

505
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: Are you more pessimistic about it? If you're more pessimistic,

506
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: well obviously that's gonna bleed into the way you look

507
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: at this pandemic. If you're more optimistic, then you're gonna

508
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: see the signs, the bright shiny signs. You go, Okay, yeah,

509
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: there's there's signs of good happening. And it's just hard.

510
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is, because how I mean, I want,

511
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: I want to be optimistic about things, But then are

512
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: the five things I just read or those things on

513
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: point of those people speculate. I just don't know. So

514
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: I think you're right, get through the day, live to

515
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: see another day, get to the next day, and then

516
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: see what happens. And unfortunately the problem with this is

517
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: we have too many people that aren't seeing you next day.

518
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: And hopefully we can calm that down and get people

519
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: to you know, recover from COVID as opposed to passing

520
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: from And I think, yeah, we'll get there, hopefully and

521
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: recover from everything that that's not disease related directly that's

522
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: the effects of it, of course, because we are all

523
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: suffering from it one way or another, and I know

524
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: obviously some people more than others. Okay, let's get to

525
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: this now. A bunch of different things in play tonight.

526
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Weaver. I don't know if you heard this. It

527
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: was early on with mcclaim, but he mentioned the House

528
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: of Paint on a season ticket member called. He didn't

529
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: mention it in the press conference via zoom that he

530
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: had yesterday, but he mentioned the House of Pain, which

531
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I loved. I mean, I love that, and McClain sort

532
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: of reminisced about the House of Pain. It's an oiler thing,

533
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: but I kind of liked that he went that far

534
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: back in Houston sports history, and a lot of our

535
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: listeners don't even know what that is. You know, that

536
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: was even pre that was pre Houston ninety three, the

537
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Football Life or whatever it was that you saw in

538
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: NFL network and all that it was. It was late eighties.

539
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: It was Jerry Glanville who used to leave tickets for Elvis.

540
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Probably people forgot about that as well. I might leave

541
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: tickets for Elvis this year, because what the heck? You

542
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: never know? So I love that about Weaves, and we

543
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: talked a lot about Weaves last night. But any any

544
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: memories of the House of Pain, any thoughts. I know

545
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: it was exactly you know, it's not exactly top of

546
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: mind lately. Well, you know, it's interesting because I want

547
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: to make sure I say this properly. I'll go to

548
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: the story that Brian Billick said. He told his story

549
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: when he was talking about the two thousand Baltimore Ravens,

550
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: and he said, when you win with offense, when you're

551
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 1: a good team and you win with offense, then you

552
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: are You're You're classy, your next level, you're all these

553
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, great adjectives that you can think of. But

554
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: if you win with knockout defenses, then you got a

555
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: bunch of um, you got a bunch of thugs, you

556
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: got a bunch of you know, bad boys. You know,

557
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of just bad dudes. And I

558
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: think as time has gone on since House of Pain,

559
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: I think that has grown a little bit. I mean

560
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we I mean I mentioned it, and I make sure

561
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: that I preface it when I say, you know, when

562
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: I talk about NFL draft picks, I'm like, I want

563
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: that gout to be more violent, you know, the game

564
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: needs to be violent, and that's that I think is

565
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: what in essence Weave is referring to, but not in

566
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: a not in a uh you know, dirty hit you know,

567
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: thuggish sort of way during exactly thing. But I think

568
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: it gets kind of crossed over people looking at the

569
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: two thousand Ravens and of course, you know, with Ray

570
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: Lewis on that group, and of course ray you know,

571
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: one year removed from the whole murder trial and all

572
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I mean, they were primed for.

573
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: Oh there's just a bunch of dirty, you know head

574
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, head hunting individuals. That's just that's not a group.

575
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: But I remember Brian Billis saying that about if you

576
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: win with defense, Well, the House of Pain that was

577
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: that was kind of a calling card of the Oilers.

578
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: They won with defense, they won with being physical, They

579
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: won being intimidating. Uh, they intimidated the opponent. But it

580
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: was also in a time frame of the NFL when

581
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: you could do that, you could be intimidating, and it

582
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: was it was valuable to be that particular way. So

583
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: when we've references them, I know the party's talking about

584
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: and that is physically win year one on ones being

585
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: being violent in the game without being dirty, but on

586
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: top of that. And it's funny because I heard Ed

587
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: Reid actually say this about the University of Miami as well,

588
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: and I think Alonso Highsmith said the same thing about

589
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: the University of Miami. Like everybody thinks, oh, they had

590
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of show boats and all that kind of stuff,

591
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: But what people missed was how hard those guys played

592
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: and the effort and energy that they played with, and

593
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: the good teammates they were to one another. But it

594
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: got glossed over because you know, some of the antics

595
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: and some of the things that went on very Miami. Well,

596
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: and I think you make a great point because they

597
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: that team, those teams and often teams like them. They

598
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: people think they win because they're like that. No, they

599
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: win because they're really great at what they do and

600
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: they happen to be that way. In addition to it,

601
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: if it gives up a little bit more of an edge,

602
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: whatever the percentage would be, because they're you know, brash

603
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: and whatever. All right, so fine, they play with bravado,

604
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: they play with that edge. I don't want to use

605
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: the word swagger. See I avoided it. I used it

606
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: just to prove that. I wasn't going to use it

607
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: because that's an overused word, but yeah, they have they

608
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: have all those ingredients and but the main thing is

609
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: they're really good, just like that. You know, Jordan, we're

610
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: all watching on Sunday nights. He was great and all

611
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: the other stuff. Now he's he's demanding. And I think

612
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: that one thing about that show and some of these

613
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: teams were talking about. I don't know if I'll love

614
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: the House of pain in there, but I just love

615
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: that Weaves used that reference. But I think great teams,

616
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: great players want to practice. They love to practice hard

617
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: and Jordan bird Magic. Look these great quarterbacks, Tom Brady,

618
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: you and I talk about the Greenbrier and him staying

619
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: after school and doing more work, and the way they

620
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: are during practice and how competitive they are making other

621
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: people around them better. If they're gonna practice hard, you

622
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: better practice hard. How can you not wait my quarterbacks

623
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: practicing hard. I'm gonna practice hard. Not that you wouldn't

624
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: practice hard, but there's probably another level to get to,

625
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: and it's their job to make sure you get there.

626
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: And the great ones do that, so it's kind of

627
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: cool to follow. Yeah, absolutely, And I think you know

628
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: the house of pain they had. They had some dudes

629
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: that that pushed the envelope, but they were physical, and

630
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: yeah they had they had a twinge of of nasty

631
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: maybe after the whistle every every now and again. But

632
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: what what the Moniker house of pain was was that

633
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: teams knew, Hey, look and when we go playing Astronome Boy,

634
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: we better buckle up because it's gonna be sixty minutes

635
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: of hell for our offense. And I think that's what

636
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: what we've wants to do twenty twenty version, and that

637
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: is we want it to be hell on your offense.

638
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: And that can that can be from a cerebral quality,

639
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: like we don't know where the rushers are coming from.

640
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: Like we see seven guys up front, but we don't

641
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: know who's coming. We don't know where they're going. Um,

642
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: and that creates a lot of a lot of issues

643
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: for us. And so for sixty minutes, it is a

644
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: house of pain, not always physical pain, but mental and like, man,

645
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: where is that coming from? Why am I getting my

646
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: butt kick today? What is happening? What is going on?

647
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: And I think Anthony saying we want our defenses to

648
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: be that way so that when offenses walk into the building,

649
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: they go, pooh boy, we better buckle up. We better

650
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: buckle up, because it's gonna be a long day for us.

651
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: And I think if you do that, you're bound a

652
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: half situations during a game they're gonna play out in

653
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: your favor, all because of that, All because well, they

654
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: didn't know where a blitzer was coming from, they didn't

655
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: prepare for something. They weren't sure what you were gonna do.

656
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: And lasting certainly not least you got physically whipped by

657
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: a really physically dominant football team. And I think that,

658
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: probably more than anything, is really what he would like

659
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: for this defense to be. Johnny, you saw my pole

660
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: because you retweeted it. You quote tweeted the poll about

661
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: crowd noise and would you have if fans aren't allowed

662
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: in would you have fake crowd noise in the stadium,

663
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: fake crowd noise on the air, music and sound effects

664
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: or nothing? And you said just straight side lab report

665
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: of the whole way or something like that. What is

666
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: your what is your other answer about this? You know,

667
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: I when I saw your poll, I wanted to answer,

668
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: and then I was like, I don't know, I really

669
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: don't know. You're so I'm so used to. You know,

670
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: the audio is different for me because I hear you

671
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: and Dre and and you guys hear me, and it's

672
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: the three of us. We we hear one another. And

673
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: then I hear you know, the sideline din and what's

674
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: going on. And that's what I'm I'm used to. I

675
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: don't even know what fake noise might sound like. I

676
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: don't even I don't know, so I've I've said all

677
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 1: along that probably the people that don't want to have

678
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: the no fans at the game are the coaches, because

679
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: the things that you're gonna hear, oh yeah, gonna blow

680
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,479
Speaker 1: your mind. You're you're gonna slow your mind. You're gonna

681
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: have that something so fake noise if if nothing else,

682
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I'd go with it. Or maybe even just you know,

683
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: video games will put kind of a soundtrack behind it.

684
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's something you can do. Put

685
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: them put some sort of soundtrack behind the broadcaster's voice,

686
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Buck and Aikman with you know, little

687
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: music behind it. I think some some music stingers, lasers,

688
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: the sound effects type stuff like, you know. I just

689
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: think you could sort of decorate in an audio way

690
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: the sound of the stadium, and I think it should

691
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: be in the stadium, not on the air. In the

692
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: stadium that you happen to hear on the air, I

693
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: think the players should hear it too, play music, uh

694
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: and and make maybe make it dirty, make it distorted

695
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: a tad. That's probably not the right way to phrase it.

696
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: But I don't mind a tiny little crowd if it's

697
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: like music that would be plausibly played in front of

698
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: a lion of audience, and you hear some of that,

699
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: like maybe a little inkling of it in the stadium.

700
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: I just don't want flat out like pawt up the

701
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: crowd cheer because somebody does ran for a touchdown, Johnny.

702
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: I've been emailing back and forth with a lot of

703
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: broadcast directors around the league today who are in charge

704
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: of preseason games, like like we are here in our department,

705
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: and they all agree, nobody really wants to do that.

706
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to the fake crowd noise, not full out.

707
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: They want solutions, but not that. And you're right, you

708
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: can't just go straight natural sounds because sometimes you're gonna

709
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: hear a pin drop and sometimes you're just gonna hear

710
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: coaches cussing or players or whatever. How many times in

711
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: an opposing stadium and the Texans do something good, does

712
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: the place go dead quiet? Anyway? You know, a lot

713
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: of dramatic touchdown calls I have in other stadiums, you

714
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: just hear no background noise because everyone's just stunned. You know,

715
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you're on the road. You love

716
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: to shut the crowd out. So there's a lot to

717
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: consider here, and you know, I know, maybe this is

718
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: not appealing to the general audience listening right now, but

719
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: this is certainly something we have to take it to

720
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: consider ration because if you have no fans, you gotta

721
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: do something. I'm praying we at least have something some

722
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: semblance of a fan participation base in the stadium. And

723
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: you know what, a little goes a long way. Even

724
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand people would make a lot of noise at

725
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: times and create some sort of ambient noise as opposed

726
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: to nothing, my gosh, as opposed to concession well, you

727
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't need concession workers. You know, dial it down, guys,

728
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: you know whatever, well you said it, you said it.

729
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, even just music going on in the stadium

730
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: that you know, bleeds through. I would be you know,

731
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: sort of like you know, a training camp practice, training

732
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: camp practice. When I mean we're in Green Bay, Matt

733
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: Lafloor just had the music cranked up on both sides

734
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: the entire time, which I will say, seem to um

735
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: the Packers fans were. I don't know if that was

736
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: a little different for them, didn't like I don't know

737
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: if they liked it at all, But I don't what

738
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: they usually do. What would what did they do? They

739
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: ever did it before with Mike? I don't think they

740
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: did it before with McCarthy, don't Green Bay Marching Band.

741
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they even did that.

742
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: But the point being, man, when they played the music

743
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: when we were up there in Green Bay, man, our

744
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: guys were on it. I mean, yeah, they seem to

745
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: love play with that music. So part of it selfish like, yeah,

746
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: crank the music, man, let's go, let's do it. And

747
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: then now we have rights considerations. Oh my goodness. Okay.

748
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: John Harris stays with us. Next up, well, University of Florida, saying, yeah,

749
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: we could possibly host an NFL team. Where would we

750
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: want to see a road game played? What college? STADIU?

751
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: That's the plural of stadiums, really, but nobody says it.

752
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: What college stadiums might we want to go to? Among

753
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: other things that are going to happen next Here on

754
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: Texans All Access, this is Whitney Merciless and you're listening

755
00:40:51,239 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: to Texans Radio. Don't touch that. Sometimes nothing beats a

756
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: classic Miller light. The original light here proved with great

757
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: taste and only ninety six calories available for delivery. Celebrate responsively,

758
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: Miller Brewin Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ninety six calories three point

759
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: two cars for twelve ounces. Want to start an argument

760
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: with sports fans, ask who should be the MVP. Everybody

761
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: has an opinion. This player does this and that player

762
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: does that, and I could be persuaded either way. But

763
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to an MVP of MPG, yeah, miles

764
