1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to my edition of Texans All 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio. All right, your host 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: John Harris, football ano selling reporter, alongside the voice of 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: the Texans Mark. Did you like the Phoenix Suns collapse 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: last night? Johnny? I don't hate the Suns, so I 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: didn't enjoy it as much as I would have for 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: a team that I don't like, like the Lakers, for instance. 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: I really would have enjoyed the Lakers melting down like that, 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: but it was enjoyable in that even though I'm not 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: a Dallas guy, this is hardly breaking news here. I 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: kind of like the Mavericks a little bit in this situation. 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: No rockets in the playoffs, of course, so that's okay. 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: And our producer, the producer of Texans preseason TV broadcasts, 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: Dave Keeney, produces The Mavericks for Bally Sports formerly Fox 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: Sports Southwest, and Dave's a great guy, so I learned 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: a lot about the MAVs through him and Jason Kidd. 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: The whole MAVs thing. I can go with it for 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: a while. I don't want them to win the championship, though. 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: This is as far as it gets for me, but 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: I wanted them to beat the Suns, even though, as 21 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, James Jones, former Miami Hurricane and a guy 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: who I broadcast his games for when he played for 23 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: the Canes basketball team, he's the general manager of the Sun, 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: so I felt bad for him, but nobody else last night. Really, Yeah, 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: I gotta say it, and I hate saying it. I 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: like Luca, Yeah, I like Luca a lot. You know, 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: you love you love him or you hate him right now. 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: He's a maverick, so gosh, I wish we had him. Yeah, 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: he is an assassin on the court, but I love 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: everything about it. I really wasn't paying a whole lot 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: of attention to really the playoffs. A game would come on. 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: I was watching Buck Celtics the other night. It was 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: a great ending to a game. And then I really 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: haven't been paying too much attention. But I just happened 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: to see a tweet yesterday from Landry and it was 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: about Devin Booker talking just being Devin Booker basically after 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: Game five when they went up three to two in 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: that series, and then Luca you can see him coming 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: off the court and he's saying something to the extent 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: up everybody talks when they're a head, Like everybody talks 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: when they're you know, when they're they're feeling themselves and 42 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: they just got a big win or whatever. The guy, 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I can't remember how exactly he put it, but I 44 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: just remember thinking he's sort of calling a shot in 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: some sense, like, all right, Booker, you're talking a lot 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: of trash. We'll see what you got into the last 47 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: two games. He just went to work. I mean, he 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: went to work. He is so fun to watch, and 49 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: then he has no issue at all, you know, sidling 50 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: up right next to him and just kind of smiling. 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: I was like, what's up, Booker, Like just needling him 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. I love that part of what he's 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: what he brings from that perspective, and his game is 54 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: oh awesome, so awesome. That extra eurostep he's got. And 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when you watch a guy playing, you 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: see that eurostep and it's so hard to defend. But 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: it's also it's so difficult to learn, really hard. Yeah, 58 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: a lot of guys have difficulties. Many years ago, we 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: were over in Spain playing a basketball tournament. We were 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: trying to get our guys because we were really confounded 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: because we were all our guys would leave the floor 62 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: trying to block shots and the guy would take another 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: step and go underneath them and then lay it in 64 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: and we're like no, and so we try to teach it, 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: like okay, here's that Euros they couldn't get it. It 66 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: was so not ingrained in them to add that extra 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: step that they have. They just haven't played that way. 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: But man, the European players had it down and you 69 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: can see it. I mean, he's got that little extra 70 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: step and it's it's kind of awesome to watch. But 71 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: when he's knocking down threes and the suns are just 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: getting lit up, of course, it was kind of awesome. 73 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: I hate saying that this is weird. You're in front 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: of your fans. You know, in the NFL, it's a 75 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: one and done situation, as everybody knows, and then you 76 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: have seven games in the NBA to get it done. 77 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: So they had multiple opportunities to close this thing out. 78 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't work out for them. They lost in the 79 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: finals last year. They have too bad. So sad I 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: liked the seven game format in that sport. There's something 81 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: about the series marinating as it goes on. It's weird though. 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: He had two game seven in the league and they 83 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: were both horrible. And I'm thinking the contrast to the 84 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: divisional round, if you will, because that's what this is 85 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: in the NBA. It's the equivalent of the divisional round. 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: Now you go to the conference championships. So the divisional 87 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: round games in the NFL were unbelievably great, and you 88 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: get this in the NBA, two game sevens on a 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: Sunday and they're both terrible. It's too bad, so bad. 90 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: It made me think of the was it two thousand 91 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: and seven? The Rockets at three one leading the MAVs? 92 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: Was that three one? But they were up two? Oh, 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: they were up, they were up two. Smoke and they 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: got smoked. Yes, it wasn't three. It wasn't three one, 95 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: because I think the MAVs in that series gosh right, 96 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: hate the MAVs. I forgot about that one Sean Bradley. 97 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: That was a great McGrady dunk over n Bradley series. 98 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: But the Rockets won two games on the road, came 99 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: home and lost too at home, and all of a 100 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: sudden it was too too and you're thinking, what just happened? Oh, 101 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Tracy McGrady was so good, but he couldn't get out 102 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: of the first round. When I went the other night 103 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: to see Facing Nolan and which is a documentary about 104 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan, which is just phenomenal. Bradley Jackson director did 105 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: just a great job with Nolan and his wife Ruth 106 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: and their family just did a great job with it. 107 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: And I'm watching and they show highlights of eighty I 108 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: wasn't here yet in eighty but I remember watching that 109 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: series as a kid, and then eighty six I was 110 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: actually here and just seeing these just grueling, gut punch 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: losses like a yeah, nineteen eighty yeah, you know, and 112 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: then thinking about that one, that game seven, and then 113 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: watching the Rockets just get blown out, like oh this 114 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,559 Speaker 1: is Brude. I think that was two thousand and seven 115 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: because I was a few months it's away from moving 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: here and thinking, so I'm watching that game, going like, 117 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: all right, this is cool. We're gonna be coming back 118 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: and win a series. And Canna go oh boy, this 119 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: is oh whoa, this is ugly. This is turn this 120 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: is turnaway, turn away, ugly, no doubt about that. All Right, 121 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna get too AFC South schedules a little bit later. 122 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: But I saw this tweet over the weekend and got 123 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: me thinking, we really haven't talked too much about this 124 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: for the first time. And I are both broadcaster, Um, 125 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: what's the right way connoisseurs like were we take in 126 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: like watching a game. When we watch a game, we're 127 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: listening to the broadcasters, probably more so than most obviously, 128 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: that's what you know, what we do. Drew Brees had 129 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: a tweet talking about how hey, he might go back 130 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: and play. There had been an Andrew Marshawn article from 131 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: The New York Post saying Drew Brees was potentially out 132 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: at NBC after one year. He wanted to do more games, 133 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: and he didn't. He didn't make the brass, didn't impress 134 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: the brass with the playoff game that he did with 135 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: Tarrico Raiders and Bengals, which I think is that's tough 136 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: in one game if you're assessed on that. Now. He 137 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: did do the Notreame games, and I asked a lot 138 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: of games, Johnny. I know, I actually didn't mind him 139 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: on the Notre Dame games like I thought. I thought 140 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: he did a pretty good job. I didn't watch every 141 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: single minute because you know how I watched those college 142 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: games I'll watch and fast forward and watched pasts forward, 143 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: so I didn't hear it all, but when I did, 144 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: when we go on the road and the first thing 145 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: just turn on TV, find a game. What's the game? 146 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: Then I have a game going on that I'm unpacking 147 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: and doing all that and getting ready for dinner. So 148 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: I always have that going on, and so there'll be 149 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: times I'd listening like, Okay, I think he's good. You know, 150 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I thought he was. I thought he was, you know, 151 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: more than decent. But apparently he's out after a year, 152 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: and Tarico is moving up to the Big Booth to 153 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: call games with Collinsworth. Kirk Herbstreet is going over to 154 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: Amazon to call games with Al Michaels. And I saw 155 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: some stuff about Amazon on and what they're trying to 156 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: do with their pregame show, and they're trying to have 157 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: this kind of analytically based show. It's gonna be different 158 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: from all the others. And then you got Tom Brady 159 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: getting into the mix. It feels like the broadcasting world 160 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: mark in the NFL is changing. At Bucket Acman going 161 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: over to ESPN. Now they're staying together, but it's gonna 162 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: be weird to look up as ESPN Graphics and hear 163 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: their voices because I always make that association so throughout 164 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: all this broadcaster movement. Breeze was there for a year, 165 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: but he really didn't call it fell Games. He'son more 166 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: in studio. Which one do you think has the biggest impact, 167 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: at least from your perspective, and who will be the 168 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: most successful? Greg Olsen with Kevin Burkhart in the I 169 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: don't know, one or two years as the Fox number 170 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: one team, Which one will you pay the most attention 171 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: to and which one intrigues you the most? Ready for 172 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: a hot take? Yes, by the time Brady gets to 173 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: the booth, it won't be Burkhardt doing the play by 174 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: play of Frost anymore. For him. Somebody else will move 175 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: into that spot. It will not be Brady and Burkhart. 176 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: That's a prediction. You can go back to this date 177 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: in May in twenty twenty six to see if I 178 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: was right. If I'm wrong, I guess I have. You 179 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: know what am I gonna do? Yeah? Eat a Houston 180 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: Chronicle front page or something. No one's ever done that before. 181 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: Stage that. By the way, I was at a restaurant 182 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: this weekend where they served steak tartar wrapped in edible 183 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: chronicle paper. Okay, it was a tiny little, yeah, tiny 184 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: little steak tartar roll in edible chronicle paper. And I 185 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: snapped a pick of it and sent it to the General, 186 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: said you needed this and you didn't have it. For 187 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: those that don't know, back in twenty fourteen, the General 188 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: said if the Texans didn't draft a quarterback number one, 189 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: he would eat the chronicle. Did he say number one? 190 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: It had to be number one? Number one? How could 191 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: he think? Who were they going to draft? Number one? 192 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel. He didn't predict Manzil, Blake Bortle. Did he 193 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: predict Roar? He must have done it. I don't know. 194 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had to talk to McClean 195 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: about I don't know if he predicted Bortles. But even 196 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: we were surprised when Orts went third to the Jaguars. 197 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: I know, but that would have been the only one 198 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: and maybe first round trade back into the first round 199 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: because they're the first pick in the second round, and 200 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: remember Bridgewater went last pick of the first round. There. 201 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just draft the quarterback, but it dates 202 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: back to twenty fourteen and the General was absolutely one 203 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: thousand percent assured quarterback was going to be drafted, and 204 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a quarterback was not draft. Johnny, I think the best 205 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: play by play guy really technically, of all the people 206 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: you just mentioned as Mike Rico, I really do. And 207 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: I give him a ton of credit because I met 208 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: him in the nineties when he was still doing ESPN 209 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: College Basketball's in college football, whatever he was doing in 210 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: the nineties for ESPN, plus a lot of the desk, right, 211 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: and he's one of these guys who worked the desk 212 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: and made the transition and really worked on his delivery. 213 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: His voice. He might not have the booming voice of 214 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Joe Buck, he might not have those kind of pipes, 215 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: But to me, technically and just the way he sounds, 216 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: I would like to listen to him more than most guys. 217 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: I really would. I mean, I love dance to death, 218 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: you know that. I think golf is the best thing 219 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: for him. I think he's really good at football, He's 220 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: really look he's really good at everything, and basketball too. 221 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: But I just I don't know. I just think of 222 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: golf sometimes when I think of Jim. But I think 223 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: Tarico's the best one. Now, I am not overly surprised 224 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: about Breeze. Every time I heard Breeze do a Notre 225 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Dame game, I thought, is that Flute. It's not Fluty, 226 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: it's Breeze. I harkened back to Flutie, who I know 227 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: didn't turn a lot of heads and ears or whatever 228 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: as a color commentator, and still I guess works at 229 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: it or something. I forget what he's doing right now. 230 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: And I love Doug Flute. He's a quarterback and he's 231 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: made a career for himself as a broadcaster, but it's 232 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: been up and down a bit. So who's gonna be 233 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the best? Johnny, I know you love Brady. To me, 234 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning would be the all time best color commentator. Well, 235 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: I love projecting it. I love Brady as I love 236 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: Brady as the best Quarterback's right, But you thought he 237 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: would do well as a color comment I think he'll 238 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: do Okay, I'm not sure. I'm not sure he's gonna 239 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, he's got to tap in a little 240 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: bit though. There are games and you know, our buddy 241 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: andre Ware could talk about this where you're on TV. 242 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: We do radio, right and we're tied to the team, 243 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: and I know, look, we did like four or five 244 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: blowouts whatever it was last season, and those are rough. 245 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: Yet you know, we're doing radio. We're still doing our thing. 246 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: We're still calling the action as it goes, and we're 247 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: talking about Okay, they got to regroup from this, and 248 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: there's still little things that happened throughout the course of 249 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: a blowout that you can mention and say, all right, 250 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: they got to build on that kind of play, you know, 251 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing we need to see from 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: him a little bit more often. Whatever. We're really focused 253 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: on the team development aspect when you're on TV, and 254 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: plus it's radio. So for me, people always ask me, 255 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: was that a painful one to call? Yeah, it's a 256 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: painful to lose always, but I gotta keep calling the game. 257 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,479 Speaker 1: If I stopped talking, nothing happens. Really, it's not good. 258 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: What's that happening? I'm TV. You could stop talking, you're 259 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: still gonna see the images and get to know what's 260 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: going on. And on TV it's harder in a blowout, 261 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: because then you really have to do a talk show 262 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: kind of thing, right, So that's what yesterday they had 263 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: with what was it who was doing the two games? 264 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: Was A Breen and then Kevin Harl Yeah, last night 265 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: was Harlan anyway, So for TV blowout, it's tough. And 266 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: Andrea will tell you, you you know, when you have one 267 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: of those blowouts, that's when the prep really goes into play. 268 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: You prepared for that possibility. You have a lot of 269 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: information on the team and whatever. I think that Tom 270 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Brady's gonna get bored out of his mind when he 271 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: gets into a bad game, out of his mind board, 272 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: especially if he has two three of them in a row. 273 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if. I don't know if he's going 274 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: to be able to go for that. And he knows 275 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: the hours it takes to be a coach, but I 276 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: think he would enjoy that much more than being a 277 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: color commentator. I just see him as that kind of person. 278 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: But is he willing to put in the time. He 279 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: might be happy coaching youth league sports. I don't know. 280 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: I don't know him well at all. I don't know 281 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: him at all, so I can't speak to that. But 282 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: I don't don't think he's gonna do it that long. 283 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Brady. I was watching, Actually I 284 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't say I was watching, because I was actually just 285 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: listening because I was in the car. I was on 286 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: a Saturday, there was to flip it and I can't 287 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: find anything, and I'm like, when that happens a lot 288 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: of times, I will go on my phone and I 289 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: will put on like a thirty for thirty and I'll 290 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: and I'll just listen to it. It's always good to listen. 291 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: And you gotta stop sign and you know, to stop light. 292 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: You might look over a little bit, but I just listen. 293 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: So I happened to click on the Tuck Rule. And 294 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: when I watched the Tuck Rule thirty for thirty the 295 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: first time, I watched it in phases, so I didn't well, 296 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: I didn't care for ye. Well, for some reason, this 297 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: time I'm listening and it's Charles Woodson and it's Tom 298 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Brady and I'm hanging on every word because they're needling 299 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: each other about the actual play itself, and it was 300 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: really enjoyable. And it hit me at that point that 301 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: I and I got me thinking about Brady, like that's 302 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: that's the kind I don't say, that's what he has 303 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: to be where he's kind of poking at everybody or 304 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: he's but he's got to find a sense of humor. 305 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: And I thought back also to Peyton's Places. When Peyton 306 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: did a Peyton's Places with Brady, it was just the 307 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: two of them and they went to ironically Jim Nance's house, 308 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: and Jim Nance's got like a like a short part 309 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: three on the side of his house. It's a really 310 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: funny episode, but it's the two of them kind of 311 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: getting after one another about various things in their career 312 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: and then showing respect for one another. It was a 313 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: really interesting back and forth and it was funny both 314 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: of them, both Peyton and Tom were funny. I think 315 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: whoever it is that sits next to Brady is gonna 316 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: have to get that out of him. Yeah, they're gonna 317 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: have to work to get that out of them out 318 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: of him. If they do, I think he can be 319 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: really good and be very entertaining. When Romo got into 320 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: the business, I remember thinking I don't really no Romo, 321 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Like I don't know how this is gonna go. Like 322 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't see. I mean, I can understand, all right, 323 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: maybe knows the game, it's fine, but I don't really 324 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: know Romo. I have no idea how this is gonna go. 325 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: And then of course the first game he starts calling 326 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: plays is like this is gonna happen, and then all's 327 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: in it mushroomed and he became Wow, Okay, I know 328 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more of what I'm getting from Tony Romo. 329 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: I could see some of the excitement he has, but 330 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: I didn't really know. I feel like I know Brady 331 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. So Brady's gonna have to kind of 332 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: work for some people to kind of break that down 333 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: and be a little funnier, be a little bit more entertaining, 334 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: get to the infotainment part of things as opposed to 335 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: just straight up you know information. But that play by 336 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: play guy, whoever that is, whether it's Burkhart or Joe 337 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: Buck comes back or whomever, that person has to get 338 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: it and get it out. If they do, I think 339 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: he can be pretty good if if they do. I 340 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: think Buck would have been good with Brady, but Buck 341 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: went with Aikman obviously to do Monday night Football. It's 342 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: so interesting. I know people have been talking about this. 343 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: Do you tune into a broadcast to hear the announcer? 344 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: The answer is obviously no, you don't do it. But 345 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: when you turn that game on, if you hear a 346 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: certain voice, you feel like, oh, this is a big game. Yeah, 347 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: it just lends itself to that as opposed to, Hey, 348 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: what's Chris Meyers doing this game for you? I'm sorry, Chris, 349 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're really good, you know, you're a good 350 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: guy and everything. But look, you know there's a difference 351 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: right there. There's no doubt to hear Al Michaels or 352 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: Joe Bucker, Jim Nance, You're like, all right, this is 353 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: the big game. I got it, this is the big game. 354 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: I think Tarrico does that too. But Trico from me 355 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: was college. Tarrico from Me was college. I remember Hurricanes 356 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: West Virginia two thousand and three was a Thursday night 357 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: game in Tarrico did that game, and I don't remember 358 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: who he did it with, might have been got for 359 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: you at the time, and it was awesome, I remember. 360 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think an announcer can enhance a broadcast, 361 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: so if you get a game, so this one was 362 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: Miami West Virginia and it's a whale of a game. 363 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it is back and forth and back and forth. 364 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it is one of the great college games 365 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: you've seen. And I think it was Devin Hester who 366 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: ended up making a play at the end, and Tariko 367 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: was fantastic, and I just remember being sucked in well, 368 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: you know me, I'm gonna get sucked into a college 369 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: game or a football game as it is. But I 370 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: just am listening to Tariko and I'm like, he's good, 371 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: Like I really enjoyed the pace, the passion, how he 372 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: delivered things. And I can't remember who was alongside him, 373 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: but that's I think speaks to the power of Tariko. 374 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: In some sense, it didn't matter who was beside him. 375 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: I get that feeling of excitement when there should be. 376 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I get that feeling of, you know, staying level when 377 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: you need to be. But he just has the right 378 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: I think pace in timing that I love listening to 379 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: a game that's called by Mike Tarico. I really do. 380 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: And I and I'm not I'm not a hater on Hollinsworth. 381 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: I just have never gotten it with him, just like 382 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't always kind of understand it. So 383 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how that is gonna work with Tariko. 384 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Before Collinsworth, He'll be five. Tarrico, I think could work 385 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: with anybody. I think, hey, Mike, you're doing the game 386 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: with Attila the Hunt tonight. Yeah, Well, I til what 387 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: do you think of the pass rush possibilities. I think 388 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: he would do a wonderful job. All right, hot take, 389 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: second hot take of this segment for me in broadcast Villa. 390 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: The hot take is this, And I mean, I guess 391 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna it's gonna be disrespectful, and I don't want 392 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: to be because I think highly of all these announcers, 393 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: of Mike Breen, of Marv Albert, I really do Kevin 394 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: Harland obviously. I just don't think the NBA has had 395 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: that number one voice on the NBA since Dick Stockton. 396 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: And I know I've mentioned Dick Stockton before to people. 397 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: I know you younglings are gonna say I've heard them. 398 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: My No, this is a different version of Dick Stockton. 399 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: Dist used to be the man and his voice with 400 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: Tommy Heinzen and later Huby Brown doing the NBA Finals 401 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: in the eighties when it was Celtics Lakers, the Lakers Pistons, 402 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: then Lakers Bulls. Look that was that was a CBS series. 403 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I believe it was. They gave you chills, those guys, 404 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: they were so good. I know it's sacrilegious to say 405 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: anything like I'm saying about Marv Albert, who is awesome. 406 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: Marv Albert is awesome. But to me, Marv has always 407 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: been a New York guy. I never ever thought of 408 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: Marv even though he was a total national announcer. I 409 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: always still thought of him as a New York announcer. 410 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: I just do. I just visualize him calling New York games. 411 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 1: He's not a national guy to me. And I know 412 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: that's that's so anti broadcast speak, but that's just the 413 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: way I feel. But that's the way it is. But 414 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: mad Russo, when he's on ESPN, the first thought is, Oh, 415 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: he's a New York guy. Yeah, as you know, it's 416 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: a different arena because yeah, and he brings the heat. Man. 417 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: I like him, but I like him too because he 418 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: is he is not a homer for the Yankees. In fact, 419 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: he likes he likes the Giants because they used to 420 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: be the New York Giants played holograms back in the day. 421 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: He's really interesting to me, but it's the same sort 422 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: of thing like, oh, he's a he's in New York 423 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: or what does he know? And I think sometimes you 424 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: get you get kind of pigeonholded that whether and it 425 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether it's where you're from By the way, 426 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: the York guy is huge, By the I didn't mean 427 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: to say anything bad about Mark Albert at all. No, 428 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: being a New York guy is absolutely humongous. Number one 429 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: market in the country. Mike Breen comes from there, right 430 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Fordham guy, Mark, Mike Breen's grown on me. At first. 431 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: I didn't like my Breen. I don't know why. I 432 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: love Van Gundi in that booth. Yeah, I freaking love 433 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: Van Gundi in that booth as I wish they would 434 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: just let Breen and Van Gundy do their games, you care. 435 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: I wish they just the two of them, Just the 436 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: two of them. I don't be fine. I don't need 437 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson in there. Well, sometimes when you have three 438 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: guys that two others don't know exactly how to and 439 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: these guys have worked on it and they've they've done 440 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: the job. I just wish you know what they were 441 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: talking about this morning, because I guess they were playing 442 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: cuts from a John Skipper interview with Dan Patrick or 443 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: whatever Skipper formerly a right. Anyway, they were talking about 444 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: Barkley UH and Barkley. Patrick said Barkley's probably the most 445 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: valuable UH person in sports media, or something like that. Look, 446 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: he's a he's an outstanding studio host. And I think 447 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot that can be said about that 448 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: that Kenny and Charles and it's a Ernie show with Shot. 449 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I left it on last night just to 450 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: see what they would say. And you know, that's often 451 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: when the best stuff happens. It's not just right after 452 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: the game. That's what you want to hear the hot 453 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: the hot takes or the takes right after the game, 454 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: But as the show goes on, they get into the 455 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: late night Yeah, especially like Thursday night in February on TNT, 456 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: they get into the crazy stuff I saw the other 457 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: day popped up on Twitter. They put four bowls of 458 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: ice cream in front of all of that, see, and 459 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: they started and they had them, they had them trying 460 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: these different flavors of ice cream. And Kenny goes one point. 461 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: He says, yeah, yeah, this one's chocolate chip, and then 462 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: Ernie picks up and goes, this is pizza ice cream. 463 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: It's like what And then Shack hasn't said anything the 464 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: whole time. Shack just drops one line and that's the 465 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: one line that you know ends up on the tweet 466 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: because it's funny as all get out, and you're like, 467 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys, it's ice cream. Yeah, it's ice cream, 468 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: and the four of them turn it into a viral 469 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: sits the perfect example of chemistry because Kenny. People sometimes wonder, well, 470 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: what's Kenny doing there? I know, Kenny's got a championship 471 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: and everything went too right, But but Kenny holds up 472 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: in front of Charles, and Charles respects Kenny, and Ernie's 473 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: the only guy who can drive that show. I'm sorry, 474 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: any other guy in that seat would be trying to 475 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: do too much. But he controls it and they respect him. 476 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: And you're right about Shack. They don't need much out 477 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: of Shack. The occasional slam dunk and it works just fine. 478 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: It does it does work just fine. Coming up next, 479 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna look at the AFC South schedule came out. 480 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: We know what the Texans schedule looks like, but what 481 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: stands out from the other three AFC South team's schedules. 482 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: Will take a look next right here in Texans All Access. 483 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Monday edition of Texans All Access 484 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio Studio.

Mike 489 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: North obviously runs that group, but my man Blake Jones 490 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: is in part of that five or six person group 491 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: that comes up with the schedule. I think they've got 492 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: a great sense of humor. I think they also have 493 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: a pretty good understanding for what games are going to 494 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: trigger the meter for a lot of people. Okay, people 495 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: want to see this game. And I saw Peter King's 496 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: article today. One of the things that that Mike North 497 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: had noticed was when the Raiders won their last game. 498 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: I thought this was really cool. Actually they embrace history. 499 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: When the Raiders won that last game against the Chargers, 500 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: it meant they were going to face the Steelers in 501 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh fifty years after the Immaculate Reception, And so as 502 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: soon as that happened, they immediately made a note twenty 503 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: twenty two schedule, and they looked for the date that 504 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: was closest, and it happened to be Christmas Eve, and 505 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: they locked that. It was like that was the first 506 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: game they had locked in was Raiders Pittsburgh December twenty fourth, 507 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: on the fifty year anniversary plus a date. So I 508 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: thought that was kind of cool. Certainly in the running 509 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: as the most famous play yes the history of the league, 510 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception. Now, there were a lot of not 511 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: famous plays that happened in Jacksonville in Week eighteen last 512 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: year when the Indiapolis Colts went to Jacksonville and laid 513 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: a complete and total egg. So the first game out 514 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: of the shoot for Carson Wedge and the Washington Commanders 515 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: is the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting Washington. In the opener, I 516 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: almost fell out on my chair when I saw that that. 517 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: I almost felt on my chair because I was like, 518 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: that's a that's a troll job. Everybody will want to know. 519 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: People will not a Jaguars commander's game. I mean, no fence, right, 520 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: who's two losing team, who's watching? But if it's Week 521 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: one and it's Wentz against the Jaguars, it's a way 522 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: to take two hundred and whatever fifty six games or 523 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: whatever it is. And maybe it's more I don't know, 524 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: do the map, but I think it's like two fifty six. 525 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: It's a way to take two hundred and fifty six games, 526 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: it's maybe more than that and make one that you 527 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: think not all that relevant and make it completely relevant. 528 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: In week one. That one stood out to me. Commanders 529 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: getting a visit from the Jaguars in week one. That's 530 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: a road open or that's the road open a home 531 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: open one though, Yeah, that's week one. Week two Jags 532 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: at home against the Colts, and they own the Colts 533 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: in North Florida, and the Colts are going back to 534 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: back on the road to start the season because they'll 535 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: be here week one. Week two they're at Jacksonville. So 536 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: that's interesting to me that the cults are gonna be 537 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: owing two before they go home. Yes two. Landry did 538 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: something to day on radio and I haven't heard it yet, 539 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: and I really want to hear it. I want to 540 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: hear this. How this win schedule simulation? Yes, yeah, I 541 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: heard the residuals. Yeah, I heard. I heard the aftermath 542 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: of that on their show or some of it anyway, 543 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of talk about Davis Mills and should 544 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: you draft CJ. Stroud, And I didn't hear exactly how 545 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: they got there. It wasn't really them as much as 546 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: it was the callers, and there was debate about that, 547 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: so I'm not sure who took what position. The one 548 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: thing I did here was Reich fired after week one. 549 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's cool. After week two, okay, because 550 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: they go, oh and two, they start owing two. He's 551 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: not gonna get fired after Owen two. No, right, they 552 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: always start slow, Johnny. You got to give the Colts 553 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: the chance to have the bounce back. Yeah. I mean, 554 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: if I'm talking as a cult here, which you never know, well, 555 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: you're right. He could have a bad day and then 556 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: decide to pull the trigger on Frank Reich. But guess 557 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: what Chris Baller's got to say. He's gonna be like 558 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: the cop. I'll put that in air quotes in Frank 559 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: Lopez's office in Scarface after Tony, after Tony gets Frank shot, 560 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: and he's like, I told him, I told him not 561 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: not to mess with you or whatever. Chris Baller is 562 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: gonna be like, I knew it. It's all right, I 563 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: knew it all along. It wasn't gonna work out with Frank. 564 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: What's he gonna say at that point? That really stinks 565 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: for them. But and you know, I know Chris Ballard, 566 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: I know you know him. And he's from Tomball, right, 567 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: He's from Texas for I lived in Tomball, all right, 568 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: so I know he's a you know, he's got a 569 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: lot of local ties and everything. But listen, it's the cults. 570 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: It's not personal. It's business. Oh and two right, it's 571 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: not personal, it's business. Texans have bye week week six 572 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: and we play Thursday night week nine. The Jags have 573 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: a bye week week eleven, and their Thursday night game 574 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: is December tw only second and it's on the road 575 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: in between a Dallas Cowboys home game and then a 576 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: trip to come here on New Year's Day against the Texans. 577 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: That's rough. Yeah, that is rough. They have a bye 578 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: week that late in a Thursday night game that late. 579 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: That is that's tough for Doug Peterson's crew. All right. 580 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: So you know who their NFC North similarly slotted or 581 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: same slotted game goes against with the seventeenth game, Lions. 582 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: It'll be the Lions. They'll be at Detroit December fourth, 583 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: the day that the Texans are playing. You know who 584 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: the team that resides in Cleveland, so they get to 585 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: go to Detroit. The Texans have to go to Chicago. Look, 586 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: who knows who's going to be better or worse At 587 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: that point. I'm not here to say that Chicago is 588 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: inherently better than Detroit this year. After all those close 589 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: games that Detroit played last year. Another year under the 590 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: head coach. Maybe goth plays decent, Maybe they run the football, 591 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe. I'm not ready to say the Bears 592 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: are gonna be really good this year. Nobody is. Oh no, 593 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: not at all. The coal play their Thursday night game 594 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: in Week five. It is at Denver with Russell Wilson 595 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: going against Matt Ryan. We face those two quarterbacks in 596 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: Week one and week two, but two quarterbacks, two faces 597 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: in different places on Thursday night week five. But their 598 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: bye week is all the way in week fourteen. That's crazy. 599 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: That's so late for a bye, But I guess it's 600 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: the seventeen games they do it this way, Johnny, think 601 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: about this. After the Colts opened against the Texans and 602 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: Lows and then go to Jacksonville and Louse, so they're 603 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: owe and two. They come home to face the Kansas 604 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, then they face the Tennessee Titans at home. 605 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: Then they go to Denver. This could be Owen five 606 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: for the Colts. They'd be Jacksonville in week six in Indie. Okay, 607 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: if it's one in four oh and five does in 608 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: can Franks survive? I don't think so. I think at 609 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: that point it's done. Oh and five is tough. Man. 610 00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: You can sit here and say, oh, if I'll give 611 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: it a chance, maybe they win the Maybe oh and 612 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: four stunk. I was still surprised. See, here's the thing 613 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: that was COVID. You did the game, you went home 614 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: right right, So, I mean you were on the road 615 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: with the team, so you were you were much closer 616 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: to the team than I was, yet still at a 617 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: distance in any ways exactly, so it was hard to 618 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: really feel the vibe. We weren't out of practice. It 619 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: was COVID. So when the firing went down after week four, 620 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that had happened. I wasn't 621 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: surprised it was gonna happen at some point, but I 622 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: was surprised it happened right then, which shows you that 623 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: things were going on that were, you know, beyond winning 624 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: and losing. That we're unacceptable. I mean, I'm not gonna 625 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: say that, I mean, what am I. I'm not gonna 626 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: say it was scandalous or anything, but it was just 627 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: like the vibe the locker room, all of that stuff, 628 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: because you know, from Bob McNair to Kal McNair, I 629 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: think that's a really important thing and it should be 630 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: an important thing. You know, you're as a mentor, your 631 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: feel for the locker room, the respect you have, the 632 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: command you have, the listeners ship if you will, the 633 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: radio term that you have in the locker room. Well, 634 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it from the standpoint 635 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: of the colts, it'll be eighteen nineteen twenty twenty one. 636 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: So that was Frank's fourth year last year. This is 637 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: year five, is that right, Yeah, because he came in eighteen, 638 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: because Pagana was there for a year when Balor got 639 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: there in seventeen. So yeah, this is so this is 640 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: your five. They're coming off a year with a the 641 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: last two weeks of the year circle the drain choked 642 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Should never let that happen, and then 643 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: worse against the Jaguars if they go one and four 644 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: or five. I'm not gonna guarantee anything, and that might 645 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: be the best thing that helps us division that frank 646 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: Reich is gone because I, like you said, they start 647 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: catching fire at some point, but you start digging a 648 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: hole at one and four and five after the way 649 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: you finished. If they if they go one and four, 650 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: that means they will have gone one in six in 651 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: their last seven games. Right, I don't know that he 652 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: can hold on to that thing at that point. All right, 653 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: give me your We shouldn't be doing this, but we'll 654 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: do it anyway. Way too early w or l after 655 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: each one of these Titans games. Okay, all right, I've 656 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: got Giants at home, win at the Bills, Raiders at home. 657 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: Let's go Raiders. Uh, that's gonna be a win. Colts 658 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: on the road. They should beat the Colts man at 659 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: Washington the win.
