1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and Happy President's Day two you okay, I'm 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: not gonna sing the familiar President's Day song. Mark Vandermayer 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: with you with John Harris here on the Honday Texans 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: Radio studio. Yes, we are here with a fresh, fresh 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: program for you, Johnny. How are you doing? How's your 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: President's Day traditions? I mean, I know there are many 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: of them. How are they going? Uh, they're pretty good. 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: I made sure when I woke up today I put 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: together my best Mount Rushmore for as many various You know, 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: it's interesting because I saw this on NFL network. Uh no, 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: you know what I was playing. I was playing linkol 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: plus on YouTube. I happened to see one that said 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: top ten NFL Top ten, which is a great show 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: which you are a part of time time to time. Yeah, 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: and this one was Teams mount Rushmore's and so it was, oh, 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm in that one. Yeah, I think you're in that one. 17 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: It's it's interesting because it's you can argue the ranking 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: of the mount Rushmore that they picked, but you can 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: also sort of argue who they put on the mount Rushmore. Yeah, 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: and out to me was pretty interesting as I was watching. 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: That's one of the most interesting ones that I think. 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: I waited on their Cowboy what I can't remember exactly 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: what I disagreed with. Yeah, the Cowboy one I thought 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: was was really interesting. Didn't They didn't have Bob Lily, Like, 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: how do you not have Bob Lill? Yeah? I mean 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: he's because to me, there has to be the history 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: of it. Like when people talk about the Texans Mount Rushmore, Right, 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: the Texans Mount Rushmore to me obviously has to have 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: a Ray Johnson. Now do you include ownership or not? 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: Do you include mister McNair or not? Someone did? I 31 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: mean Al Davis was mentioned for the Ray. He was 32 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: on there for the Raiders, but he had so many 33 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: different roles for the Raiders, so they did. They had 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: George Hallis on one for the Bears. Trying to think 35 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: who else? I think that's that changes everything. If I 36 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: think you have there, I think you had to put 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: mister McNair on there. Yeah, if you just did Texans, 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: there's no If it's just players, okay, it's a different story. 39 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: But they were putting executives, they were putting coaches, they're 40 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: putting three of the Texans are obvious, right when you 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: have mister McNair Adrey Johnson to JJ Watt, Yes, that 42 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: fourth What am I missing here? Is it not? Is 43 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: it obvious? Or is it just that there are so 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: many different people that can slide into that fourth spot. 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: I think you could slide a number of different people 46 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: in there. I think in you see, I'd like to 47 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: be out there. See I built the play c Yeah 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: my plan. I know that he did. But no, he's 49 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: not gonna be out there right now. I'd probably put 50 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: hop I'd probably put Hopkins on there. Oh Is Hopkins 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: the third greatest player in the history of the franchise 52 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: right now? How many Pro Bowls does he have? How 53 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: many times I think he has to be I mean, 54 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: he's he's the best receiver in the game right now. 55 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: He's he's the best I've ever seen. I mean, it's amazing, 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: you know what, You're right because I remember having this 57 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: debate about the Mount Rushmore maybe three years ago. This 58 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: came up. It comes up from time to time and 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: at the time you're thinking, well, maybe Dwayne Brown because 60 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: of what he meant at left hand. You know, I 61 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: still think that. I know it's uh, you know, not 62 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: the greatest thing in the world. The way the two 63 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: sides parted company. But I have to give him his 64 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: due for what he contributed to the franchise. But even 65 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: with his Pro Bowls and how highly regarded he was 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: or maybe he is, I'm not going to debate that. 67 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: Right now, Hopkins is better. Hopkins is a better player 68 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: than Twain Brown, right, I mean, Hopkins is a better 69 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: receiver than Brown is a tackle. Not to say Twain's 70 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: not good, but you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: think another year or two will solidify that. Then again, yeah, 72 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: the lngevity's not another year or two. Number four is 73 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: gonna make his case for it as well. Yeah, so 74 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: he's like, hey, carve out a new stone for me. Yeah. 75 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: So I'm but I'm okay with that. I'm I'm totally 76 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: all right with Hopkins eclipses area. I think so, yeah, 77 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: Hopkins eclipses match Shop. Well yeah, yeah, no, I mean, 78 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: but there was a time when somebody put match Shop 79 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: on those Texas mount Rushmore. That that time might have 80 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: been four years ago, but there was a time when 81 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: he was there. Because it was like that four years ago, 82 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: that was three playoff appearances to go. Also, by the way, 83 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Hopps i think hop has to 84 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: be on there. Three out of last four years he's 85 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: gone to the Pro Bowl. To the last two years 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: he's been first team All Pro. I think he was 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: second team All Pro in twenty fifteen. I mean that's 88 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: at at a position which is very competitive throughout the league. 89 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: When you think about when you think about your fantasy 90 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: football league and you think about your teams, think about 91 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: the wide receivers and guys that are put up numbers 92 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: that are winning games every single week. Yet Hoped the 93 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: last two years has been first team All Pro, first 94 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: team All Pro, one of the two top receivers in 95 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: the league, and then twenty fifteen he was second team 96 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: All Pro. So he's one of the top four receivers 97 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: in the league three out of the last four years. 98 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: See Dwayne did it over time, but I don't know 99 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: if he's ever been dominant league. Hopps period of dominance 100 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: has been been unbelievable. I mean, his rookie year was decent, 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: twenty fourteenth, thought he was very very good. By twenty 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: his third year in the league, he's second team All Pro. 103 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: By his fifth year in the league. His fifty six 104 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: years in the league, he's first team. Off you know 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: the amazing thing about whatever, what is all pro sixteen 106 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: sacks and Aaron Donald went nuts this year, But sixteen 107 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: sacks this year. Had he not done anything this year, 108 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: we might still be putting him on it based on 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: what he's done in the past. So that's very impressive stuff. 110 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: So all right, I didn't want to spend the whole 111 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: show on that, but my President's Day so it came up, 112 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: all right, let's do this. I wanted to get your 113 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: thoughts on spring football a little bit, you know, and 114 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: the Texans have some history with spring football. In fact, 115 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: Carl Smith, the new quarterbacks coach, former coach assistant, a 116 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: special teams coordinator with the Philadelphia Stars Baltimore Stars, and 117 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: he and I don't know if I mentioned this on 118 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: the year, but I talked to him about the Stars 119 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: playing the Boston Breakers back in the inaugural season of 120 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: the USFL, and I was a college student. I saw 121 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: that game and we both remembered all the gory details 122 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: of that particular contest. I mean, he's one of those 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: steel trap mind guys, and he's He's coached in a 124 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: lot of games, Johnny very well, a lot. But the 125 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: USFL was a spring League. He was part of that. 126 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I mean the other Texans have participated in spring football. 127 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: You mentioned Brian Peters, also Dave Orcone. What's upon a 128 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: time quarterback in NFL Europe for I want to say Frankfurt, 129 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: And when I was doing the afternoon show with Rich Lord, 130 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: we actually had We're Going on the phone as a 131 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: guest from Germany and it was pretty cool. Yeah. I 132 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: used to love the World League, just the fact that 133 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: you would have games in all these various locations, Barcelona 134 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: and and uh not Madrid, um in Germany, Munich, you 135 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: had a monarch. I love that World League. Now it 136 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: took a little while for it to I don't say 137 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: catch on, but I think one of the biggest things 138 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: about something that's that's new is it's staying power and 139 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: being able to, you know, for the fans to kind 140 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: of recognize what's there. But I do think there's absolutely 141 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: something there. We've talked about it for a long time. 142 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: I think I think one of the biggest things that 143 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna have the opportunity because guys are playing football. 144 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: I think your offensive line, your quarterbacks, I think those 145 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: are the positions where you might get a little bit 146 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: more bang for your buck because they're getting more reps. Yeah, 147 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: I think running backs you don't. You don't need that, 148 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: you don't need as much reps. I mean it helps 149 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: probably for them, but it's more tread off the tires. 150 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: It helps showcase them. Yeah, that might not be helping 151 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: them longevity wise. Yeah, absolutely, And so I think from 152 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: an offensive line standpoint though, giving offensive lineman more reps 153 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: the number of reps they're gonna get in a game. 154 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: And I know that the AAF in particular, the game 155 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: is moving faster. They're shortening the game, which I think 156 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: is great, but they're getting these offensive linements and reps. 157 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: I do think at some point that one of these 158 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: spring leagues, or the merger of these spring leagues, is 159 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: going to end up helping the NFL feed the NFL 160 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: be another world league of American football. I think people 161 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, especially if it's in place like I think 162 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: of Memphis and I think of Birmingham, places where you 163 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: know football. Maybe I'm Memphis as much, but I know Birmingham. 164 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: I've been there plenty of times, and it has obviously 165 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: a college flavor. But to to have names you recognize 166 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and if that team you know sticks or hits. You 167 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: got a great opportunity. And I remember when the ABA 168 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: was created many many many years ago. One of these 169 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: you remember that, I mean I just remember reading about it. Okay, 170 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. I mean there was not a there 171 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: was not a professional team in Indiana at that point, 172 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: none whatsoever. Then the Indiana Pacers were created, and they 173 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: ended up being one of the four teams that get 174 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Pistons already gone at that point, yes they were, yeah, 175 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: they were gone, they were gone. Yeah they were in Detroit. 176 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: But then but what Indiana ended up getting were some 177 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: local players. They got George McGinnis, they got Rick Mount, 178 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: they got local players that people could relate to, and 179 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: then they played. They played a really exciting brand of basketball, 180 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: and people kind of year after year after year kind 181 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: of hung around. I look at a place like Birmingham 182 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: like that. You know, Birmingham could do that in a 183 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: spring ling. I think people will come around, they want 184 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: football for Birmingham Stallions. Where the USFL yep, the Birmingham 185 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Lea Iron now in the AAF. Wow, So the Birmingham Stallions. 186 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: Who was the quarterback trivia question? You win nothing? Birmingham's Stallions. 187 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: John Kincaid, No Cliff Stout. Maybe Kincaid did play for them, 188 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I know Cliff Stout was the 189 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: first kid played in the USFL, I think at some point, 190 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: but I think spring football absolutely. Listen there. The NBA 191 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: has its place, There's no doubt. And in the NBA 192 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: All Star Game was this weekend and a lot of 193 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: people were tuned into that seemingly, but there's there's a void. 194 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: There's definitely a void over the weekend because people aren't 195 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: following college basketball the way they used to, and perhaps 196 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't there all right, So I went I tease 197 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: this with the morning show guys. Actually it was never 198 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: officially on air tease, but I set them a note 199 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: that I wanted to give my analogy. College basketball and 200 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: the NFL are more like each other, and NBA basketball 201 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: and college football are more like each other. You know 202 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like the pro it crossed multiplies here 203 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: because the college basketball game is a highly formatted thing 204 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: that I think functions very well. It's about the uniform 205 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: more than the individual, especially now because nobody knows these guys. 206 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: So you're watching Kentucky, Okay, I know that Duke has 207 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: zion and everything, and you know, I know that there 208 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: are certain players that stand out, but very few in 209 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: college basketball. It's more like the brand right in the NFL, 210 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: even though yes you are rooting for a lot of 211 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: individual players, it's very brand name requisition oriented. The NBA 212 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: is a little different now. College football you might not 213 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: know as many players as you think. But to me, 214 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: the NBA game is formatted a sort of clunky way. 215 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: I don't like all the timeouts at the end. I 216 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: feel like that kind of slows it down. I love 217 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: the caliber of play. I love the fact that these 218 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: are the best players in the world, and the college 219 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: game is kind of clunky to me, the way it's formatted, 220 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: with all the stoppages and we review everything and all 221 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: of that. By the way, I get rid of that 222 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: in college basketball. I don't know. I just feel like 223 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: there's a cross multiplying, an analogous thing going on between 224 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: the NFL and college basketball. I just like the way 225 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: the games are structured. They just remind me of each other. 226 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: The NFL game is it's gonna be three hours, give 227 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: or take. College basketball is gonna be two hours, give 228 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: or take. The NBA is gonna be like two and 229 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: a half all right, which might not be too long, 230 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: but it just feels it. And college football pack a 231 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: lunch and a dinner because you could be there four 232 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: and a half hours. Yeah, if there's one thing with 233 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: college football, it takes a while. And I'm calling a 234 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: game on Wednesday. On Saturdays during the season, we have 235 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: a home game the next day, and I committed to 236 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: a game I can't remember. It was a Thursday night 237 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: game and it was supposed to be in Nacade. Well 238 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: it was Steven Ff against Northwestern State for Chief Cato 239 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: and which has got to be the most politically incorrect 240 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: trophy there is. But either way, I did the game 241 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: with David Saltman. We had a great time. But we 242 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: did the game up at Humble. We did it at 243 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: a studio, is a very interesting way of doing this. 244 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: But I remember when I committed to the game. At first, 245 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: it was like you want to do I'm like, yeah, yeah, 246 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: that'll be fine, But I'm thinking I'm gonna drive what 247 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: almost three hours in Acadosi just then this game, God 248 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: knows how long this thing is gonna take, because that's 249 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: all it's a it's a I was like, I'll get 250 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: back at two in the morning and then and then 251 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: I'll call yeah if I'm lucky, because the game was starting. 252 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it's seven. Well they moved it up to 253 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: six for some reason, and then I had to go 254 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: to bumble to do it. Was it easy? It was fantastic, 255 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: But you gotta factor that in for a college game. 256 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's part of the allure when 257 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: you follow a college team to a degree, is it's 258 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: an all it's an all day deal. I mean, if 259 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: you're playing a two thirty game, which is what you 260 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: really want. Like if you're an SEC and you're playing 261 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,479 Speaker 1: a SEC two thirty game, it's all day because you 262 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna do your tail gating up until that time 263 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: you get into the stadium around noon or whatever. You 264 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: get into the game, then it's a two thirty game. 265 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: I think it'll take who knows how long you get 266 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: out of the game. By the time you you know 267 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: you're it's ten o'clock by the time you even think 268 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: about getting home. So a lot of fans just say, 269 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: you know what, We'll just stand parking lot. We'll just 270 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: tail gate the rest of the night, stay here and 271 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: talk to Andres. Trying to get flights out of these 272 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: SEC towns and get to a Texans game the next day. 273 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: Not easy. If there's one thing I would love to 274 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: love for the college football game to be able to change, 275 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: I think the college football game should go to the 276 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: NFL rules. I like the clock, Yes, the clock rules 277 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: for sure. Absolutely. The one thing that I would like 278 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: to see college football go to is get rid of 279 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: the clock stopping after a first down except under two minute. 280 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: I like under two minutes. I've always wanted that, Johnny, 281 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: And that's fine. If I'm going to propose a rule 282 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: change in the NFL that would make the game more exciting, 283 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: that's the one I would put in. I know it 284 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: makes it a little longer, but if you have that 285 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: clock stop after first downs in the final two minutes, 286 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: if you're in the lead, it's not gonna hurt you 287 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: because you're just gonna take your time and run clock. 288 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: If you're behind, obviously it's gonna help you. That kind 289 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: of drives me nuts about the NFL sometimes, I'm like, 290 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: that clock is so unfriendly with your boy, and you 291 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: know it sucks to be you. I go ahead and 292 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: take care of your business, don't be behind, And I 293 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: get that, and I've lived with it. But I think 294 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: that would make the game. It would enable teams to 295 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: come back, It would make it a lot more exciting. 296 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: I would hate it if the team was trying to 297 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: come back on the Texans and they were successful. But 298 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: it's like the overtime thing. You know how I feel 299 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: about overtime. I feel overtime should be sudden death. Nobody 300 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: else should get the ball. What are you talking about? 301 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: Just flip the coin, play football. Whoever wins wins, whoever 302 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: scores wins. You played sixty minutes and you couldn't settle it. 303 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: You're telling me now we have to be equitable when 304 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: we're playing extra No, so speaking of us rule that 305 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: they've they've come up with, and I think I wanted 306 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: to get into this, their their rules and their adjustments. 307 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: But in fact, hold that thought. Let's get into that 308 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: and what was up with the uniforms and whatever game 309 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: I was sort of watching last night, And what can 310 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: they learn from the other Spring leagues to get a 311 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,359 Speaker 1: little bit better? And how do they affect the NFL? Possibly, 312 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: Plus you've got something for the Donald segment. I know 313 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: we want to stick our teeth they do. It's Texans Radio, 314 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: So glad you could join us on Texans Radio. Here 315 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: from the Hunday Texans Radio studio. On President's Day, Mark 316 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: Van Damer and John Harris with you. We were talking 317 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: spring football and things the NFL can might should borrow 318 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: from spring football. Hey, historically, USFL gave you the red 319 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: challenge flag, right, Yeah, the USFL gave you. They didn't 320 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: really give you the two point conversion, but it was 321 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: a pro league using the two point conversion at the time. 322 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: People don't remember this, kids, you don't remember back in 323 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: the day, there was no chance that the NFL was 324 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: going to pick up the two point conversion. Every media 325 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: member would say, there's no I was in New England 326 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: at the time, so my typical you know, a Malcolm 327 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: sports talk radio voices a Northeastern type accent. There's no 328 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: way that the coaches are ever gonna approve of this. 329 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to think about it. And there's an 330 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: element of truth to that, because it took them a 331 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: long time to implement the two point conversion. They didn't 332 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: want to think about it. It's another decision to make. 333 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, can you imagine not having a two 334 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: point conversion? I mean, think of how many games I 335 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: mean back, I mean for the difference in two points. 336 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: You're down two scores. At the end of the game, 337 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: you're down sixteen points, You're still in it. You still 338 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: have a shot. There's still a shot. I mean the 339 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Patriots down sixteen that's Super Bowl. Oh they don't have 340 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: a chance to win that thing without that. I loved. Yeah, 341 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: I would. I don't know, I would consider going for 342 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: it more often. If I trust my office, I would 343 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: go for it a little bit more often to get 344 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: the two points. Somehow, I was scrolling through looking for 345 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: some meme and this meme came up from when the 346 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: Patriots beat the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, which 347 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, but it's It was Forrest Gump 348 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: and the writing was and just like that, we all 349 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: became Rams fans. You know, I was laughing because, yes, 350 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: everybody in the universe is reading against the Patriots, thank 351 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: you very much. Remember the first time they played in 352 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, it was like everyone was rooting for 353 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots because the Rams they had had it with them. 354 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: And I'm tired of this Kurt Warner thing and the 355 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: greatest show. I'm turf and somebody's kind of shut them up. 356 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: So okay to that end, all right, AF has their 357 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: rules spring league. If you haven't paying attention, which one 358 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: of these do you think the NFL would be most 359 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: likely to adopt? A give them to me certain years. 360 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: Number one, no kickoffs, I think it's a possibility. You know, 361 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: it takes away kickoff at twelve nude. You know, it's 362 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of it's such a tradition. Can we just have 363 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: a ceremonial kickoff so so like you'll have the coin 364 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: toss or the home field advantage captain, you'd have Travis 365 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: Scott kicking off or something. It's like the Rockets first shot, 366 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: like somebody gets to kick the ball. Well that's I 367 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: was watching. I can't remember who it was. I think 368 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: it was Memphis and who I think Memphis was playing 369 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: San Antonio. Maybe I can't remember Memphis Orlando. I can't remember. 370 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: But anyhow, the mayor brought the ball out so like 371 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: instead of first like he brought the ball to the 372 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: twenty five. But it was weird. He like took it 373 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: out to the twenty five and it wasn't like, oh, 374 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: here's the ball for the kickoff or it was like 375 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: he brought the ball presentation at twelve nude, let's let's go. Yeah, 376 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't. It was just it was a little odd, like, Okay, 377 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: we gotta because there's something about the crescendo of football 378 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: game and the kickoff kind of helps to build, you know, 379 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: there's something like that. It's a release. Yeah, it really is. 380 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: It's such a good moment. But anyway, I think that 381 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: there's a chance of that. And then they talked about, well, 382 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: Florio keeps bringing up I don't know if it's a 383 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: real rule, chat, I should know this the fourth and 384 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: fifteen thing instead of the odd sidekick. Well that that's 385 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: that's I'm getting to that. Okay, number two, no extra points, 386 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: gotta go for two every time. I don't think the 387 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: NFL picks that up. I don't think so. But it's 388 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: intriguing and it's also very nerve wracking because seven is 389 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: such a number, you know, well, it's a number that 390 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: we've gotten used to. Yeah, it's such a great number. 391 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: They put up seven, you know, And as a play 392 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: by play guy, I say, you know, he's in for six. 393 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: But I rarely give the score after a touchdown to 394 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: score until the extra point is kicked. I rarely give it. 395 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, they're up a touchdown on them, or they're 396 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: down a touchdown. But I don't give the score the 397 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: number until they kick it and either miss it or 398 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: make it. Usually they make it. I don't know. That's 399 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: just a traditionalist in me. How do you feel about that? 400 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: No extra point? Well, you hate kickers, so you're like, 401 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: let's go no no field goals either. I mean, field 402 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: goals fine, but I just I love that. I just 403 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: love the opportunity for two points. I just have. I've 404 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: always I've always loved that. I think that's the way 405 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: to go. Here's now, Here's okay, here's their overtime run. 406 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: All right? So what NFL might adopt. What the NFL 407 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: might adopt on the spring league go ahead in overtime, 408 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: Each team gets the ball on the ten once with 409 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: firsting goal and has to score and go for two. 410 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: You cannot kick field goals in overtime and games Cannon 411 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: and ties bought the ten. Yeah, first in goal if 412 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: you scored, gotta go for two. No field goals in overtime. 413 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: But my gut question cannon and tie, And when I 414 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: heard about this, my gut reaction was well, why have 415 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: a tie. If you're gonna do that, just go no, no, 416 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: just go. Yeah, maybe just out of the regulation if 417 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: you're willing to have a tie, but keep going from 418 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: the ten, it'll end, it'll end. Yeah, somebody's gonna miss. 419 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna miss from two. You're not gonna go that 420 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: long to the stats count not that anybody cares about 421 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: AAF stats. The stats counts. I don't know. I don't 422 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: college football. It's a big deal. The team touchdown passes, 423 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: they went to quintuple overtime. You know, I don't want 424 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: to hear this. I mean when I was looking up 425 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: Devin White, who played plays livebacker at LSU, and I 426 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: was just looking at his numbers for this year, and 427 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 1: I was looking and he's like, oh man, he's got 428 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: one game of like seventeen tackles. It's like, oh, that's 429 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: because they played seven overtimes. Again, Dan, it's not it's 430 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, the score of a college football game 431 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: like that should be Aggies win in overtime on a 432 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: touchdown whatever. I don't know how you'd wear that, but 433 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: you know, tied after regulation thirty one thirty one, Aggies 434 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: win an ot It's kind of like in soccer where 435 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: it's like so and so wins on kicks four to 436 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: one or four to three or whatever it would be. 437 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: You'll have to find a different way to wear that. 438 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: So here's the on site kick. Okay, so there are 439 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: no kickoffs. Yeah, so they're gonna give you the ball 440 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: on your own thirty five. So team scores say you're 441 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: still down ten, so they're gonna give you the ball 442 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: back on your own thirty five. Okay, but it's fourth 443 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: and ten, fourth and ten. You just play it out. 444 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: That's the AAF, that's the AF, and you play it out. 445 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: So if you get if you get the first down, 446 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: you just keep going right. If you don't, you give 447 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: the ball back to the other team. At that basically 448 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: you're thirty five yard line, all right, So you're you 449 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: have that option anytime. Really, So in the first quarter, 450 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: you score a touchdown, you can say we'll take the 451 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: ball or thirty five a time chances, right, if you miss, 452 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: you give them the ball to thirty five. You're giving 453 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: them the ball to thirty five. You're thinking about how 454 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: many NFL kickers the ball to thirty five is in there? 455 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: The ball thirty five for the Texans. Yeah, that's in 456 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: Kimis field goal range. That's Gotskowski's field goal range. No, 457 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: they're giving the ball, you're thirty five. You're getting them. 458 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: You're getting the ball, you're thirty five. So I'm down. 459 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: I got in my own thirty five. I gotta go 460 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 1: sixty five, I'm saying, so if you decide, So, if 461 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: you decide, yeah, we're gonna do that. Oh I see 462 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: your field goal range. Yeah, of course, so i'd like that. 463 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: I like that. We're hanging a second though. Let me 464 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: let me paint a picture for you. So the NFL 465 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: implements this role. You're playing the Patriots. You're up two 466 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns on him. There's there's two minutes left of the game. 467 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: Brady quick throws, he scores a touchdown, one minute to go. 468 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: Now he has the ball at his thirty five, fourth 469 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: and ten, and the clock now stops after first downs. 470 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: He's dying of slow death. Johnny, I'm gonna I'm gonna 471 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: throw off. It's not gonna be good. I don't like 472 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: this rule at all. I look at for the other side. 473 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: I gotta lead, and I gotta give Brady all right, 474 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: think about forget about Brady, don't forget about him. Add 475 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: this to the equation. You've got leads late in games 476 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: on these are the quarterbacks you're facing next year. Mahomes 477 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: in his building, Breeze in his building, Brady here, I 478 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: mean Rivers his building, Rivers in his building, but not 479 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: that that matters which building for Rivers Andrew Locke both buildings. 480 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? I got leads over these teams, and 481 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: they get the option to get the ball fourth and 482 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: ten at their thirty five. I'm like, I did a 483 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: lot of work for this, and now you're gonna give 484 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: them the ball fourth and tennis? No, I mean that's 485 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: Brady's like probably seventy percent on fourth and ten. I 486 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: think that would be fifth. I would I would love. 487 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: Flori was talking, we got number four, we got number four. 488 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: We gotta if you're down, if you're down, but I 489 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: want to have I'm gonna thinks that. And we came 490 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: back against Philly. Yeah, I know, I know, Philly. Cheeze. 491 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: Let's see Philly. They ran out the clock. No, no, no, 492 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: they they ran all the way down, They ran it 493 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: all the way down. They got the first down. Then 494 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: they go, oh yeah, so that's no good. I don't 495 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: like that at all. I'm not a big fan of that. 496 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: It would make the fourth quarter mussy television. Man, oh god. 497 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: I would think if you institute that rule, it would 498 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: have to be something along the lines of you that 499 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: that rule would only take place in the fourth quarter, 500 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: Like you could only do that in the fourth quarter, 501 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: because I think some teams would opt for that for 502 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: the ball at their thirty five of the fourth and ten. 503 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: There there would have to be some analytic studies on it. 504 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, there would have to be some analytic 505 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: studies though. I mean, you wouldn't think but if you've 506 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: got if you got Hopkins and you got Fuller and 507 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: you're pretty hot, I mean I don't. I mean, it's listen, 508 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: you miss it. I mean, look, you get nine yards, 509 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: don't get the ball. You're gonna back. You're giving them 510 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: the ball back at your forty four yard you know again, 511 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: you're in field goal range at that point. I think 512 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: teams just just along the same lines. A few years ago, 513 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: didn't they move the two point play up a yard? 514 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: Didn't they move it up yard from three yards and 515 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: two yards two yard? I thought it was always two Well, yeah, 516 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: maybe it was. I don't know, they flirted with the 517 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: idea of the one, but they moved the extra point back. Yeah, 518 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: but remember yeah, when they did that, there was talk 519 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: about the one and a half yard mark because that 520 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: would tempt coaches to go for it more. So you 521 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: move the extra point back, and yet do we see 522 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: more teams going for two more often? A little bit more? 523 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: Though the Mike Tomlins of the world, does Peterson I 524 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: did that against us? There's and then people are I 525 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: love that fourth and ten. I love that. I love that. 526 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: I think the outside kick even have extra paramedics in 527 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: the building for everybody involved in clearly the broadcasters. I 528 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: just I don't know if I could take that all right? Wait, 529 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: what was with the uniforms last night? With I don't 530 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: even know what the teams were on a I honestly, 531 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: you saw it, you saw I couldn't tell who was who? 532 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell either. I'm watching the game, going who what? 533 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: How do you know? Who? You're thinking like that? It 534 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: just me? Or are all the uniforms so bad? Like 535 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: you have a brand new league here. You could have 536 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: some really terrific uniforms and they're awful. I don't like 537 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: the I don't like the uniform I like the UFL uniforms. Wait, 538 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: all that fluorescent and I know that's not as in 539 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: as it was like five years ago. But come up 540 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: with something that people actually like. I wouldn't buy any 541 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: of that, and I wouldn't do it anyway. But if 542 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: I was in that market, I don't know. I like 543 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: to cut, you know the uniforms like the best what 544 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: the Birmingham Iron black white? They look like the sharks 545 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: from any given Sunday. Oh, I like the sharks. They're pretty, 546 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: they're pretty sharp. But that's there. I couldn't tell who 547 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: was who watching it last night. Okay, next up, you're 548 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna tell me what it's gut reaction to reaction. I'm 549 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: gonna get your gut reaction. I'm gonna read you a statement, 550 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: and it is your gut reaction, like the first thing 551 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: that comes to mind looking forward to it on Texans Radio. 552 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: All right, Mark Vandermaron, John Harris with the other the 553 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 1: Hunday Texans Radio Studio. Gut reaction, what do we got? 554 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: All right, you're here for Gut reaction is a pretty 555 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: simple concept. I throughout the weekend, I've been accumulating some 556 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: thoughts and things that I've seen, and I had a 557 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: gut reaction to it, all right. So I was like, 558 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: all right, well, I'm gonna take those I like it. 559 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw to you. I'm gonna get your exact 560 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: gut reaction. Let's go. Okay, you're ready, ready, all right. 561 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: NFL Draft Bible did a two round mock. In that 562 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: two round mock, they gave the Texans first rounder offensive 563 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: tackle Greg Little from All Miss. In the second round, 564 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: they went with IRV Smith, junior Alabama tight end, and 565 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: then the second pick of the second round, they went 566 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: with three four defensive end, John Kaminski. Your gut reaction 567 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: tight end? Why does this keep coming up? Why does 568 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: tight end keep coming I don't get it. Are they 569 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: not watching watch the Texans draft a tight end with 570 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: the first joh, don't even know what it's gonna happen now, 571 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: because it does. It make sense. But I see a 572 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: lot of people doing this, And we talked about this 573 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: a little bit last week, and even our good buddy 574 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: on Twitter, father Clint Wrestler, who's the Texans priest. Yeah, 575 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: he's on the sideline a lot and everything. He tweeted 576 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: at us because we were talking about the Vandermock. He's like, 577 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: tight end. I'm like, what you have Ryan Griffin, you 578 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: have Jordan Thomas, you have Jordan Nakens. Now I know 579 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: it wasn't like the year. Now, the year Oswhilder was 580 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: throwing passes to all the tight ends. It was the 581 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: highest tight end volume of catches in the history of 582 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: the franchise. It was because he couldn't throw to anybody 583 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: else or whatever it was. He just loved the tight ends. 584 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: It was a security blanket. It's an underneath throw, whatever 585 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: the case may be. So I realized it wasn't that 586 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: kind of season, but I thought it was a heck 587 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: of a promising season. Have four catches from Thomas Griffin 588 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: as Griffin, I think Aikens shows a whole lot of potential. 589 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: So let's see year two. I want to see the 590 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: encore with the rookies. I think Griffin is fine, let's 591 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: just keep going. I'm good with it. But I watched 592 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: them draft a tight end. I just there's no corner 593 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: in that mix. So you know, what about the defensive end? 594 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: Is he any good? The one that he recommends, he's 595 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: a decent player. I mean, it's a three forty defensive end. 596 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: But he's limited. He's limited. I mean, he's a good athlete, 597 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: but he's a four three. I'm taking somebody that high. 598 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: He went to Charleston University, not Holedge of Charleston, so 599 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: he is a low level player. But look, is he 600 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: destroyed like Khalil Mack? Is he destroying he destroys Division 601 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: two competition? Yeah, I don't have I don't have him 602 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: in the harrisson. I was talking to a buddy of 603 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: mine who went to Ohio State, and he said, when 604 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo played the Buckeyes that year, you know they got 605 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: blown out. I guess, but everybody saw that Mac killing people. Yeah, 606 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: so they knew that it was going to be somebody 607 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: to watch. Okay, So I saw this free agent analysis 608 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: done and Casey Joyner used to be with ESPN and 609 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: Warren Sharp. They do a lot of analytic stuff together, 610 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 1: and so they looked at each of the team's units 611 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: and they ranked them on a scale of one to ten. 612 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: As far as ten being you absolutely are one thousand 613 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 1: percent solid not going to do anything in that particular position, 614 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: one would mean there's got to be major overhaul. That's 615 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: how they essentially those particular units. Right, They listed the 616 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: Texans old line A four and the interior defensive line 617 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: A three three meaning ten year okay, great, and one 618 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: major over all? Right, So who are the free agents? 619 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: Covington and that's it, right? What about DJ Dunny? Dunny 620 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: is two. That's a bit of a concern to me 621 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: because with those two guys hitting the market, I'm a 622 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: little concerned. I got an Angelo, all right, So all right, 623 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: all right, now now it amps up a little bit. 624 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: Let's say you lose all three. How are you feeling? Well? 625 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: You gotta go get somebody. Got Carlos Watkins coming back, 626 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: He got Joel He's coming back, he got DJ Readers 627 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: and what. All right, So look, you feel pretty good. 628 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean you feel great about obviously what and Reader? 629 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: But you better add to that. And Reader was starting 630 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: at end. It was Dunny starting at nose. And as 631 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: we all know, you can't just go find somebody at 632 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: nose tackle. So they've seemed to do a pretty good 633 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: job doing that. Let's say you bring back two of 634 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: the three. You bring back in whatever combination, bring back 635 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: Blacks and done Blacks and Covington done Covington. You bring 636 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: back two of the three to go with Heath Watkins. 637 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: Then it's not a three. Then it's like an eight. 638 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: It's like, I am not concerned. They should go the 639 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: other way with this. By the way, the lower concern 640 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: should be the lower number, but lower concern in this 641 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: ranking system means a higher number. I would say, if 642 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: you're able to bring back two of those three and 643 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: look as far as we all know, as far as 644 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: needs and focus, you can't ignore that. But they won't. 645 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's among their shopping list. It's like 646 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to the grocery store. I really need milk 647 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: and eggs, but I also need whatever else. It's not 648 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: like I'm going to forget that. It's on the list. 649 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: I'll find it. Yeah, Okay, go on number three. I 650 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: happen to see this today. I don't know. If I 651 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: don't think it was from today, I think it was 652 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: from this weekend. MJ de Maries Jones Drew was on 653 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: NFL Network and they were doing this thing they called 654 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: it The Bachelor, and they were trying to match up 655 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: free agents with new home Okay, he said the best 656 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: match for Bachelor Jademon Clowney and free agency was the 657 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. All right, now I'm gonna reactions. You know, 658 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: several things that we've talked about during this show have 659 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: made me near the point of physical illness. You know, 660 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: like fourth and ten for these quarterbacks were facing next week, 661 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: instead of on sidekick, they get them all fourth and 662 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: ten at their thirty five as a possibility in a 663 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: rule change that we are hypothesizing anyway. And this look, 664 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna lose Clowney, that's one thing, but you 665 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: cannot lose him to an AFC South team, and preferably 666 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: not an AFC team, preferably an NFC team that you 667 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: played last year, like the Giants or somebody. So I 668 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: don't have to see him for another three four years. 669 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that. Not even Dallas. I don't 670 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: want him in Dallas. No, I actually want him in 671 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: the AAF if he's not gonna be here. We're one 672 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: of those silly uniforms that you can't recognize. I saw him. 673 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: He had Marisia and Drew pre up three teams, and 674 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: one was the Texans and I can't remember what the 675 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: oh the third one was the forty nine ers, and 676 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: then it was the Cults. It was like those three 677 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: teams and then when he flashed the colt's helmet up there, 678 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: I did the same thing you used, like, oh, that's awful, 679 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: gut reaction. This is I like this segment. This is 680 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: very good. Okay. Here's one Chris Simms who now does 681 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: work for PFS, son of Phil Simms, and Chris has 682 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: been known to say some things and a Kyle Shanahan 683 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: tattoo on his ankle. Yes, does he still have it 684 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: or did he remove it? Okay? He reported that the 685 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: Giants almost traded Obj during the twenty eighteen season two 686 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Oh my gosh, I'd almost want to see 687 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: it to see if that would work. As far as 688 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: in the train wreck sense, would Obj be okay there? 689 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: As far as behaving the way he acts out with 690 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: the media sometimes and some of the other's I'll tell 691 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: you what upsets me about. Look, he's a tremendous player. 692 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: We all know this, but I'm glad that some of 693 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: the bloom has been removed from that rose in terms 694 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: of like who's the best receiver in the NFL? And 695 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people ob Ja and everything. He's in 696 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: that NFL one hundred spot. That's so good, But I'm like, 697 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: what is he doing there? What is he doing there? 698 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: What has he done except catch a ball once with 699 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: one hand? I'm one and a half football, No, I 700 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: know he's done some other things. I get it. And 701 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: a lot of that is not his fault because the 702 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: Giants have been bad, and if they were better, he'd 703 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: get showcased, he'd be on a better team, he'd get 704 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: playoff exposure, he'd get all of that. But it's not 705 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: like the Texans have been going to the playoffs and 706 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: they've been winning, but it's not like they get the 707 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: same exposure the Giants. I have to look, but they Johnny, 708 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: they probably get the maximum amount of primetime games every 709 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: year because they get the New York market at night, 710 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: and that's gonna inflate the entire TV rating. So that 711 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: it's the Giants. It's the way they are, and they 712 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: are the number one NFL team in New York no 713 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: matter what. They could go five and eleven every year. 714 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: The Jets could go ten and six and it's not 715 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: gonna matter. It's still the Giants the number one team. 716 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: So what has he done? What is he doing? In 717 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: that commercial? You got me going on OBJ here? Oh 718 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: that was kind of the point. But if he went 719 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: to New England, that would be another physical illness causing 720 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: development for me, because it would make the Patriots better, 721 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: I would think, although it could spectacularly fail, but New 722 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: England's not going to dwell on that. You know, if 723 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't working. They had Randy Moss, I mean the 724 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: ultimate right now, he's great, the ultimate, great receiver and 725 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: the ultimate problem for some teams. But the one thing 726 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: about Randy Moss I think and and and I don't know, 727 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: maybe it was found in later years that Randy was 728 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: Randy wanted to football. I don't think he's any question, 729 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: specially was younger, but he sort of grew out of 730 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: that now. I think that he still wanted to have 731 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: the football when he was in New England, but when 732 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: he got to New England. I mean, you talked to 733 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien, you talked to hear from Bill Belichick, 734 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: and they're like, we'd loved having Randy Moss around this team. Yeah, 735 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: we loved it, but it ended not so well and 736 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: didn't end up at Tennessee not running Brown kind of 737 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: as well as he could call in the radio shows, 738 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: his would he would he speaking of wide Receivers's your 739 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: next one? Antonio Brown tweeted yesterday he did kind of 740 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: an ama ask me anything on Twitter said okay, He 741 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday when asked about the conflict with Ben Roethlisberger, 742 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: and I quote tweet no conflict, just a matter of respect, 743 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: mutual respect. He Ben has an owner mentality, like he 744 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: can call out anybody, including coaches. Players know, but they 745 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: can't say anything about it. Otherwise they they mil ticket 746 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: is gone. It's a dirty game within a game hashtag truth. 747 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: What's your gut reaction to that? Well, my gut reaction 748 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: is you contradicted yourself. You said no conflict, and you 749 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: said this guy could do whatever the heck he wants, 750 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: and if you go out against him, you're out of there. Yeah, 751 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: So of course this is a problem if that's true 752 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger owner's mentality and call out the coaches. Other players 753 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: don't go against Big Ben. Otherwise you find yourself on 754 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: the road. But there's no conflict here, right, So there's 755 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of a contradiction in terms there, by 756 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: the way, not in terms of analysis. By the way, 757 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: did you see Antonio Brown at the All Star Game? 758 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: He had one braid died. He had the top part 759 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: of his mustache. He looks like a Wesley Snipes movie character. 760 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: He looked demolition man. Maybe I don't know what he was. 761 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what he was doing. Gut reaction. Slam 762 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,359 Speaker 1: dunk competition, All right, people get all crazy. I think 763 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: the NFL needs something like this. What is there an 764 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: NFL equivalent of the slam dunk competition? You know they 765 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 1: do that, that skills challenge or whatever it is that that. 766 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: I love watching that. I love the passing, the throwing, 767 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: because the other ones you always kind of worry about. 768 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: I love watching it. I think the guy's doing those 769 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: skills competitions very I think with the dunk competition, and 770 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: I know he had a couple of really great ones, 771 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: but the petition got panned by everybody. But but I 772 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: was about to tweet everybody's review of the dunk competition. 773 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: Every year it stanks. It's all the stars don't participate. 774 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: You know. The complaints just are endless about it. But 775 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: I love the Right Brothers thing. I mean, the more 776 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,959 Speaker 1: props and crazy stuff the better. I love that Superman shirt. 777 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: Bring it on, just do it up. When Dennis Smith 778 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: put on the Jake Cole I had. It took me 779 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: a second to figure out what he was doing. And 780 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: because I had the sound down, I was just watching 781 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: it because my wife was watching Hallmark, so I figured 782 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: to be in the same room as her. I could 783 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: watch on my iPad. I could watch what was going 784 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: so I wasn't listening channel I know, and it actually 785 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: sucked me in. But anyways, I was watched, so I 786 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: didn't know exactly what's going on. I was like, hey, 787 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: I couldn't hear anything that. I was like, Oh, he's 788 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: wearing Jake Hole's high school shirt, and I got it. 789 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: I was like, that was pretty cool, like some of 790 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: the things they're doing. Yeah, but I think the NFL 791 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: has that. It's called the combine, the forty yard dash. 792 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: I think that's that's about as close as Jack that's it. Huh, 793 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: that's probably I don't know. I think the showmanship of 794 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: the NFL you see it every week. Now. The NBA 795 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: has a rival stuff and everything. We all get that, 796 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: and the Rockets do their little videos of guys getting 797 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: off the team plane and all that. But you know, 798 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: for us, every road game is such an event. In 799 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: the NFL, such an event. It carries a little more weight, 800 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: but the arrivals in the NFL, again, they carry more 801 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: weight because a weekly game is an event. It's like 802 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,919 Speaker 1: a bowl game every week in the National Football League. 803 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: But you know, as far as offseason stuff like that, 804 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: the combine is something that's unparalleled in other sports. There's 805 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: nothing like it. It's kind of like NFL spring training 806 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: more than training camp. The combine is spring training. It's 807 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: actually going on during spring training and stealing the thunder 808 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: of spring training, which I find so interesting about it. 809 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, yeah, yeah, I actually have two Okay, 810 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: pick number six or number seven, which one I'm gonna 811 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: go six? Okay. I've seen this in a few places now. 812 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: Col Kaepernick, his situation with the NFL is settled here 813 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: in eric Or, and I saw that he might end up, 814 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: in fact as early as this week, either being a 815 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: Patriot or a Panther. Wow. Your gut reaction is wow. Yeah, 816 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: My gut reaction is I hope somebody signs him. I do. 817 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: I would love to see resolution here. We have it 818 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: already with the lawsuit. I'd love to see him end 819 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: up on a team, you know, as a backup or 820 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: or have a chance whatever. He wants, you know, like 821 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: go ahead, So Panther, I always, oh, it's a part 822 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: of me that doesn't want to see him in New England. Well, 823 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: if you see him in there, you get the feeling 824 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 1: they'll find a way to use him exactly, you know, 825 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: exactly like Patterson. Not not the same way, but they 826 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: find a role for people doing certain things exactly. And 827 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: I think for him that actually might be a really 828 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: good thing in New England because they would shelter him 829 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: from the storm of the media, because they do a 830 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: great job just shielding their players from media. Carolina might 831 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a show and you 832 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: can't get a lot of talking going on. They're more open, 833 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: So maybe for him that would be better. But I 834 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: always thought it'd be great if somebody signed him just 835 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: to give him a shot and you know, show the 836 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: critics that a play or can't play, or whatever the 837 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: situation is. I would think that he could certainly be 838 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: a backup in this league. So we'll see, Johnny, thanks 839 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: a lot for being with us. As always, Deep is 840 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: gonna host the show tomorrow, but we're gonna be on. 841 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a good time, and we might have 842 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: to review some of the things we said today because 843 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: it's the President's Day Show and you never know who's 844 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: listening who's not, but we appreciate you listening for sure, 845 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: and all of this stuff is available on podcast on 846 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: Houston Texans dot com.
