1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Here's the snap looking tuxt them off diving for the

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: pilot that he's got it. Brazzle tazzle, touchdown the Tustans

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: and the Texans go in front. There is no off

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: season for your Houston Texans. Game day. He's every day.

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week,

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: they hits keep on coming. The Texans say they have

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: it and they do. No, it's Texans, all exits. Oh yes,

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: it is. Hello Texans, and welcome to the program. As

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: we edge closer to the start of training camp, whatever

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: that might be, because we don't really have an official

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: date yet, but welcome in as we have a lot

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: to talk about. Tonight, breaking news. Fauci bounced his ceremonial

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: pitch and a lot of people have that one happening.

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Mark Vandamer John Harris with you, joined by the General

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: John McClean from the Houston Nicle. Gentlemen, Welcome to the show. General,

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: how's it going going great? Mark? How are you well?

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to catch up with you, and

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, throughout our visits here during the lockdown period,

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: sheltering place, whatever you want to call it. You've often

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: been what I describe as the grim reaper of the

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: National Football League, but you have to be a whole

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: lot more optimistic. Now. I know six ten was running

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: a promo with you being a whole lot more optimistic,

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and I know the preseason has been offered up by

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: the owners, But what are your latest thoughts, general? Is

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: we get oh so close to actual practices. Actual practices

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: are going to be guys running around in shorts and

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: T shirts for thirty days if the players get their way.

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: That no fans, the owners, the owners wanted twenty days.

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: So really, all we're going to see is guys running

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: around getting in shape, which they should have been doing

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: while they were on their own. So we're not going

34
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: to see what we actually call practices for at least

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: a month, and without any preseason games, rosters be reduced.

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: More three hundred players going to get cut as soon

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: as they finalized that eighty men roster and hit the

38
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: streets after never meeting their coaches full time. And there's

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: still so many things to be agreed on, especially the

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: financial part. A lot of teams that move back their

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: reporting date for their rookies and their veterans, so coaches

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: are waiting to see what they can do, what they

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: can do when they're able to go out in conditioning,

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: how many people can be on the field at the

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: same time, how many can be in a facility at

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the same time. And I'm told that Energy Stadium, which

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen in months, and I don't know if

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: you guys are going over there not, it's unrecognizable behind

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the scenes because of everything that's they've been able to

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: do to prepare for the protocols installed by implemented by

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the NFL and it's medical experts. So I'm eager to

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: see it when that time comes, possibly near the end

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: of next week. Johnny, Yeah, general, it is definitely. I

54
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: can vouch for the fact that it definitely is different

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: visually what you have to do when you go to

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: various places, what you don't have to do is touch

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: a door. Yes, Energy Stadium is going to be somewhat recognizable.

58
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: Ray Claridge, Jeff Kaplan, Jackie should because guys have done

59
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: a tremendous job. Generally, you surprised at all that the

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: NFL and the NFLPA have gotten, as Mark and I

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: like to say, they've gotten so many yeses, and especially

62
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: as it pertains to the health protocols. Have you been

63
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: surprised by that or are you thinking it's about on track?

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: This is about the time you expected them to have

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: some agreements in some sense on the health as it

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: pertains COVID nineteen. Absolutely not. I'm not surprised. Owners always

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: go near the end before they make concessions. Like there

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: were people that thoughts to Twitter launch by star players

69
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday head something to do with the owners giving

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: in on no preseason games. The owners have known they're

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: going to not have preseason games for weeks. It's part

72
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: of the negotiations. You act like you're pulling teeth to

73
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: give it up, and you know you're going to give

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: it up because you want financial concessions from the union

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: and they'll get them that there's one game play. Players

76
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: get paid their full salaries. If there's no season, they don't.

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: And nobody's been threatening not to come in. You know

78
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: the way it is. And by a reference, has that

79
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: big mobile unit out in the parking lot where everybody

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: gets tested. I'm amazed at baseball does not have this

81
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: where you can get results in twenty four hours. One

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Soto the great outfielder for the Nationals, had a test

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, played on Tuesday, was around players from two teams,

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: and then finds out today two days later when they're

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 1: opening the season, he tested positive and exposed all kinds

86
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: of people. And I just don't understand that I heard

87
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: baseballs I'd even using nasal swabs, don't. I can't imagine

88
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: that's not true, because everybody knows even though nasal swabs

89
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: are not perfect, they're the closest that you can get

90
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: to an accurate test. And so the owners it's to

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: their advantage to have the NFL players as protected as

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: they can possibly be. So no, I knew that was coming.

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: The part that's always the hardest is when it involves finances,

94
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: and that's one of the things they're working on right now. John,

95
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: What do you think about spreading it out over ten

96
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: years like the NFLPA reported, the wants as opposed to

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: taking the big bite in the next couple of years. Now.

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I believe it's actually nine years, And even though it's

99
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: been reported as ten and there's no way the owners

100
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: are going for that. The owners are saying two years, well,

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: of course, thing though that's not realistic. You'd have to

102
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: cut all kind of players. They don't want to cut players,

103
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: so somewhere they'll be compromised in the middle. And I

104
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: understand players wanting to do that almost over the life

105
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: of the collective bargaining agreement and not this next season.

106
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: But I just can't imagine the owners would go for that.

107
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: And you know, we saw this week when a Green

108
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: Bay Packers had to disclose their finances and their annual

109
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: report to their to their owners, who are the fans,

110
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: and they had two or nine six million dollars from

111
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: National TV money. And the new team and TV contract

112
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: is coming up, new streaming rights, that amount of money

113
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: is going to go up. So if that goes up,

114
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: the cap is going to go up. But then because

115
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: of losses I've suffered during the pandemic, those those are

116
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: not going to go up. I don't see the cap

117
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: going down. You know, usually the cap goes up by

118
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: ten me and I could see it going up from

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: by two or three million for several maybe five years,

120
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: But I do not think it's gonna They're gonna all

121
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden make the payer play and the owners

122
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: suffered too. If you got to cut, make hard decisions

123
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: on good players, and so I just I see somewhere

124
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: in the middle, Well, why not spread it out general?

125
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: You just brought it up. I mean, the GMS cannot

126
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: be thrilled with the prospect, especially this year. I can

127
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: it really go down this year? I mean this season

128
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. You got to go with what you have, right,

129
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, everything's set, everything's baked. Twenty twenty one maybe,

130
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: but you're right, you're gonna have to cut a lot

131
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: of guys you didn't plant for that. Why wouldn't the

132
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: owners want to spread it out over as long a

133
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: time as possible. I don't know. It's not going to

134
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: go down this year, and they don't want it to

135
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: go down next year. The players don't. They want to

136
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: start it the year after that, where the owners want

137
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: to go ahead and just absorb it and get it

138
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: over with, but doesn't negotiating strategy. There's no way it's

139
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: going to be over two year periods. As for why

140
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: it's not over the rest of the CBA, I have

141
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: no idea why they wouldn't want to do that, because

142
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anybody discuss it. They've been very close

143
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: mouth about it and said for when they've done conference calls,

144
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: and the only owner who's really disclosed anything was Mark

145
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Davis and in their view this week, and I'm sure

146
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: the NFL didn't like that with him talking about the

147
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: possibility of sixteen games no games. The league's trying to

148
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: put a happy phase on it and trying to be

149
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: as positive as can be. As one reason, I'm sure

150
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: we're going to be in Gaza City for that first

151
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: game and then they'll see what happens with positive tests.

152
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: I've said this, and I fully believe that that you

153
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: needed a preseason game to see what would happen with

154
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: players afterwards, even if you played all backup players. Then

155
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: you see how many tests positive the next week, and

156
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: it gives you an idea of what to expect for

157
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: regular season. And now we're not going to know till

158
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Texans go out and bang on

159
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: each other and bleed and sweat and spied and then

160
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: set off shoot. Hopefully it won't be any players testing positive,

161
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: or if it is a minimal amount and being on

162
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: it's not how many, it's who, And the person that

163
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: needs to be in a bubble is Deshan Watson. Because

164
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: the Texans could not afford to lose him for two

165
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: or three games. General, the football will start soon. I'm

166
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: tired of talking about COVID nineteen, so let's move on

167
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: the football. Drew. Drew and I talked about this in

168
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: the day in a podcast. We came up with four

169
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: different types of players on the team, a rookie, a

170
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: second year guy, a new vet, free agent signed or

171
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: traded for, and then an old stand by somebody has

172
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: been around for a while. And we talked about it

173
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: from a curiosity standpoint. Now, I don't you don't have

174
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: to fit all four of those categories, But who are

175
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: a couple of players that you're really curious to see

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: once training camp does indeed start. What are a few

177
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: or who are a few players that you're really curious

178
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: to see if maybe haven't even seen them at all,

179
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: being a rookie or a new guy that's coming, who

180
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: are you most curious to see? I wrote a column

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: today about the Texans eighty men roster. It's on Texas

182
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Sports Nation and then Today's Chronicle about a lot of

183
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents are not going to make the team

184
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: slot them are going to be cut here when the

185
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: rosters are reduced to eighty Texans, I think only have

186
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: eighty five players under contract. They were saving five for

187
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: I think veteran free agents, and so you'll have all

188
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: these guys on the street. And that means guys like

189
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, Dylan Cole, Greg Mass, Brendon Scarlett, guys like

190
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Dad A. J. Boyer. Would they have a chance to

191
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: even make the practice squad if they'd never been on

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: the field for their coaches when they were rookies. And

193
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: they turned it out to be five of the most

194
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: valuable undrafted free agents in franchise history, and in Foster's case,

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: the greatest. And so I don't really care about the

196
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. I want to see the draft choices.

197
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: I've heard so much from people about Ross Black, Clark,

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: John Reid, John Grennard, those guys in the off season program,

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: the virtual offseason program, which means they had to really

200
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: impress their coaches with what they absorbed it and how

201
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: they talked it back to them on the virtual program

202
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: because they weren't able to go it and transfer it

203
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: from the locker, I mean, from the meeting room out

204
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: onto the practice field like ordinaries. So I want to

205
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: see how far behind are these guys going to be

206
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: a player I'm really interested in seeing, and we're not

207
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: going to really see him the regular season. Eric Murray.

208
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Eric Murray is a safety who would start today. He's

209
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: only been a regular starter once, it was nine games.

210
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: How does he fit in? Well, they use more corners,

211
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, Lonnie Johnson, if he'd been out on the

212
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: practice field and playing preseason games, he'd played corner and

213
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: he would have played safety. Now, how do they teach

214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: a guy a new position if he can't teach it

215
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: on the field, Colly Waring. I think we're all we're

216
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: eager to see him in pads, eager to see him

217
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: in joint practices preseason games will be unable to And

218
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: then on offense, the new receivers Brandon Cooks and Randall Cobb.

219
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: And then the player I believe he's under the most

220
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: pressure is David Johnson. David Johnson making ten point two million.

221
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: He came into DeAndre Hopkins trade. A lot of people

222
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: seemed to think, like around the country. I saw one person,

223
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Rippon Bill O'Brien going, how could you trade DeAndre Hopkins?

224
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: And this was this past week for David Johnson, And

225
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, do your homework. They got Ross

226
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: black Clock, and they would they got Brandon Cooks because

227
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have traded there two for Cooks if they

228
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: didn't have the two they got from the Cardinals. So

229
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: really there's three players we need to keep up with

230
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: and we're involved in that trade. And David Johnson's at

231
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: the top of the list. And let me ask you, guys.

232
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: Two years ago he had almost fourteen hundred yards rushing

233
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: and receiving and scored ten touchdowns. Would you take that

234
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: right now with him rotating with Duke Johnson the fourteen

235
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred total yards, Yes, thank you, Marty. I will take this.

236
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: I'll take away and ten touchdowns. Absolutely, you would pay yes,

237
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: And that was in twenty eighteen. The Texans are counting

238
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: on Brandon Cooks and David Johnson to bounce back and

239
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: play the way they played in twenty eighteen, and I

240
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: think if they're healthy they will. You know, this offense

241
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: can be prolific. Deshaun Watson has got a lot of

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: receivers to throw too. And the only two issues one

243
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: injuries in two there's only one ball, yep. And the

244
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: other issue is well you want to throw The positive

245
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: test factor into the injury equation. I'll go with that, John,

246
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: And it would be interesting to backtrack and find out

247
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: would Arion have gotten cut if they had to chop

248
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: it from ninety to eighty back then in two thousand

249
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: and nine. I do not think you would excuse me, Mark,

250
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: because Rake Smith had to give him a bigger signing

251
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: bone to keep him away from the Saints and the Jets.

252
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think he would have been in this

253
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: cut because of money. But the key is this is,

254
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: as Bill O'Brien has said and will say again when

255
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: we get him next week, it's a veteran's type year.

256
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: And so therefore would an undrafted free agent been able

257
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: to even make the practice squad that year? And a

258
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: good thing right now is the practice squad has been increased,

259
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: and you better have a quarterback and you better have

260
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: a kicker on it, because if kaymy Fairbaron were the

261
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: test positive get hurt, John Harris gonna run out there

262
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: and kick. And the other thing is you've got to

263
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. To me, you have kept away from

264
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Watson and McCarron somehow keep him on another field throwing,

265
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: have him zooming in on the meetings because just in

266
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: case one of them tested positive and they've been around

267
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: the other one all the time, just the possibility you

268
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: have to have another quarterback you could call on. We

269
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: got one on the staff. In general, I can kick.

270
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: I can kick himbout a twenty yard field goal. So

271
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: you get me inside the five, I can bang it home.

272
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: You could have won the Buffalo game game. That's right.

273
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: We will now involve the sideline reporter into this playoff game.

274
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Good not eligible, I don't think, But this is it's

275
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: interesting conversation. I think the talented players ultimately find a

276
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: way at least to get an early shot. It's interesting

277
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: when you brought up with Arian, who, by the way,

278
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: ultimately was cut anyway. I mean he was cut in

279
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: order to get onto the practice squad. You have to

280
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: release a player, So he was out there for anybody

281
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: to get really at one point, maybe just for a

282
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: limited window. John Tom Brady. The footage of him reporting

283
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: today looked like combination Bigfoot video from a distance and

284
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: arrest video from a distance. But Brady reported to the Bucks,

285
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: what do you think is gonna happen there? You think

286
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a productive pairing Brady in the Bucks

287
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: in that division as it ultimately plays out this year.

288
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: I think it would be quite interesting if Brady and

289
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: all those players that continued to practice together even though

290
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: the Union told them not to, defied the union and

291
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: the team. Of course they didn't want them all together either.

292
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: If see if any of those guys test positive, and

293
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: of course, to me, Brady is the best. Is the

294
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: best story in the league now that Cam Newton has

295
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: replaced him with Bill Belichick as another great story. I

296
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever gone into a season, and

297
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: this is forty four in which I've seen more storylines

298
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: that could affect a season across the league with the

299
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: looming dark cloud of the coronavirus that looming over everybody,

300
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: and that's one reason this season is so interesting. I'm

301
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: every year at this time I get fired up, like

302
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: as my first training camp in nineteen seventy seven in

303
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Nacodocha's with the Oilers, I want camp to not come.

304
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: But then when right before it, I start to get

305
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: fired up again. And there's a lot of things. I

306
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what happens with the Texans. I'm

307
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: writing a column for Sunday. I see people picking the

308
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Colts and the Titans over the Texans. They're just looking

309
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: for reasons not to pick the Texans. And and I

310
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: don't understand the calls. I see the Titans because of

311
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: the way they played in the playoffs, but certainly not

312
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: regular season. But to me, if you are if you

313
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: want a division four times in five years and you

314
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: got to Sean Watson and J. J. Watt, you should

315
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: be favored again. Yeah, there's no question general, if you

316
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: were to pick the Titans. What separates the Titans and

317
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: the Colts? If the Texas didn't win a division, something happened,

318
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: they didn't win it, why would you Why would you

319
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: favor the Titans over the Colts. Let me say this, John,

320
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people nationally, writers, former players, they

321
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: just love the Colts. They love Frank Right and Chris Ballard.

322
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: They are great guys, they're doing a tremendous job. But

323
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: they've won one playoff game, same as Bill O'Brien won

324
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: last year, and yet people are just dying to have

325
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs. And Philip Rivers is coming off

326
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: the kind of year David Johnson and Brandon Cooks are

327
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: coming off of. But people don't seem to be holding

328
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: that against Rivers. We saw the Texans win in La

329
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: over Rivers and the Chargers last year, and maybe Philip

330
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: Rivers will bounce back and go to Super Bowl and

331
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: be a tremendous story in his first year away from

332
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers. So I just don't see it with the Chargers.

333
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: Maybe they had a great draft. I don't see how

334
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: you can base improvement on the draft this year, considering

335
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: the likely a possibility that rookies are not going to

336
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: contribute a whole lot for the first part of the year.

337
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: It's hard for rookies to contribute anyway. Titans I can

338
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: see because Derrick Henry is right now the best back

339
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: in the league. He led the league in Russie. He

340
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: makes their play action go. Ryan Tannehill got one hundred

341
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: and eighteen million dollars after ten games, you know, and

342
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: then the playoffs and he was really good. So is Henry.

343
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: So I can see people picking them if they just

344
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: don't want to pick the Texans because they beat Baltimore,

345
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: New England in the playoffs before losing at Kansas City.

346
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: But I don't see the calls popping up and winning

347
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: the division. Maybe they will, but on paper, at least

348
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: they don't see it. John, what do you have going

349
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: out of the chronicle for us? I have a column today,

350
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson. I got two podcasts on Texas Sports Nation,

351
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: and I've got that column Sunday about the AFC South

352
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: and team people looking for a reason to pick anybody

353
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: but the Texans. And we got another big package coming Sunday,

354
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: and hopefully the NFL will allow teams to get out

355
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: on the practice field and at least run around together

356
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: for the first time since last before the Kansas City

357
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: playoff game when they prepared for that one. John, thanks

358
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: so much for being with us tonight. We look forward

359
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: to seeing you soon, and that might be in February,

360
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: but we look forward to it. Mark and John, thank

361
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: you guys very much. Stay safe, all right, Thank you.

Speaker 1: and John Harris is Tier two non media, and I

364
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: don't know what the heck's going on. Okay, next up,

365
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: more likely to happen, Johnny, let's have some fun. Fouci

366
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: blew the first pitch because he's been concentrating on coronavirus

367
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: and not baseball. I once had to throw out a

368
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: first pitch. I don't know if you ever did, but

369
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: it is. It is a little it makes you a

370

Speaker 1: little legy. Also later on, just a quick comment or

00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,480

412
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Everybody has an opinion. This player does this and that

413
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: player does that, and I could be persuaded either way.

414
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: But when it comes to an MVP of MPG, Yeah,

415
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: miles per gallon, I've made my choice. Chevron with Techron

416

Speaker 1: Why well, Number one, it's proven no gasoline gets better mileage.

417

Speaker 1: keep vital engine parts clean. Unbeatable mileage, unbeatable cleaning. You

00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: six hour they weren't even home, and I did that that.

463
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: I came back up here to do the show, not

464
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: to brag. I just barbecue, bragged, Johnny. I'm being afterwards.

465
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing burgers and hot dogs after we get done. So, yeah,

466
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: it's grilling. I grilled. I didn't barbecue bar When you

467
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: say barbecue up north, it just means grilling, But when

468
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: you say it here, it has a whole other meaning. Oh,

469
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: help me decide better, VanderMeer, Like, all right, here, here

470
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: we go. Let's let's play the game that's swept the nation.

471
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: It's no longer sweeping. It's swept the nation and it's

472
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna make its way back. But it's called more likely

473
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: to happen, so more likely to happen? All right? This

474
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: is not quite a more likely. It's more like a

475
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: who's better? But I'm gonna do it anyway? Better podcast

476
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: theme for me? And I did both of these, but

477
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: I think I went overboard with one. Here's the first one,

478
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: all right, So that's my podcast theme? Yeah, pretty much?

479
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: What I've been using. Yeah, but what about this one?

480
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: I kind of like that one. You like that one?

481
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I kind of like that one. I mean that is

482
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: you correct? Yeah, that's all me. But it's not that great,

483
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, not well produced. But you know when you

484
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: talk over you don't notice that it's not that well produced.

485
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: So you like the second one? Better second one? All right,

486
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with that one, by the way, rich Lord,

487
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: Like we said last night of the Vandemans forew podcast, Okay,

488
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: let's get to some sportsy things with more likely to happen,

489
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to be the NFL

490
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: MVP this year, either one of these three, Patrick Mahomes,

491
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, or Deshaun Watson or the Field or the Field,

492
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: Johnny the rest of the guys versus those three more

493
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: likely to be the MVP. Okay, I'm gonna take the

494
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: field just and here's okay, here's why Lamar won it

495
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: in nineteen. Nobody saw that coming. Pastor Mahomes won in eighteen,

496
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: nobody saw that coming. Typically, I guess the MVP has

497
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: been somebody we're not totally expecting. Yeah, even when Brady's

498
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: won it, there have been years like he won it

499
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: in twenty ten if I remember correctly, and Obi was THEOC.

500
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: He threw like forty touchdowns I think, and had two interceptions,

501
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: and he was coming off a not a great two

502
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: thousand nine. Remember the two thousand nine because in two

503
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: eighty hurts the ACL teters ACL. He comes back at

504
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: on nine that's when they get drilled by the Ravens

505
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: in the wild card playoff game. But turns around the

506
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: next year he had they draft Gronk and they draft

507
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Hernandez and all of a sudden, offense goes crazy

508
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: and he throws something like forty touchdowns and two interceptions.

509
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: It says an amazing I believe he won the MVP

510
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: that year. Nobody expected Brady to kind of pop back

511
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: up and win an MVP. He didn't really have a

512
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: ton around him. But then these two rookie tight ends

513
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: come in. They're like, oh man, these guys are pretty

514
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: pretty un good. Next year they go to the Super Bowl,

515
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: all of them together. So the MVP has not always

516
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: been somebody were expecting it to be. So I as

517
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: much as I would love to see D four win it,

518
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be somebody we're not totally expecting.

519
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: And by saying the field, that still gives me Aaron Rodgers,

520
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson as backups to those three. I would you

521
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: know those two will be in the mix. Drew Brees.

522
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: It gives me Drew if the Saints catch fire, and

523
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: also still gives me Brady if Brady goes to Tampa

524
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: Bay and Tampa Bay gets to ten eleven wins. If

525
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay gets a ten eleven wins and Brady has

526
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: had a relatively decent season, He's gonna be in the

527
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: mid m Absolutely, yes, absolutely, I mean he wanted as

528
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: recently as twenty seventeen. It's a hard thing to win.

529
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, you'd think Brady and Manning we're winning it

530
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: every year. Well, Manning's got one five of them, four

531
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: and a half because he split one with Steve MCNABBI

532
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: you still count that as an MVP. But Brady has

533
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: what three? That's it for Tom Brady really, yeah, I

534
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: think he's got more Super Bowl MVPs, I believe. Yeah,

535
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean Rogers has what two? I'm looking at the

536
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: list here trying to count him quickly. So yeah, it's

537
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: a tough thing to win. So all right, I'll go

538
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: with you on that. I mean, I'll take one of

539
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: those three. But I can see why you went in

540
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: that direction. Okay, let's get to the next one here,

541
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: more like to all right, So major League Baseball starting

542
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: tonight officially now, and Fauci bounced the first pitch apparently

543
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: fifty cented that thing. Yeah, I mean, have you ever

544
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: seen fifty cents first pitch the Mets game? Is that

545
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: the worst one? Way? What's the worst one? We've seen?

546
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: Pretty bad? There's some bad ones. Sense was pretty bad.

547
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: I did this once at the University of Miami when

548
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: I left the Hurricanes to come to Texas. Right. They

549
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 1: were in baseball season, and they said, can you throw

550
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: out the first pitch at mark Light Stadium tonight? And

551
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: I was thrilled to do it. Mark Light Stadium, by

552
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: the way, home of the most outstanding milkshakes ever. I'm serious.

553
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: There's a Twitter account. There's a Twitter account called mark

554
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: Light Shake. I'm not kidding. They make they make outstanding

555
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: shakes and they have their own Twitter account. Anyway, I

556
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: threw out the first pitch, but I made sure I

557
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: went in the back and just tossed at least one

558
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: behind the stadium just to like get a little loose. Yeah,

559
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: and I would just go out there. Not you can't

560
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: just go out there cold. And I was a little low.

561
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I was a little low, but I got it over

562
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: the plate now or maybe it was a little outside,

563
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: but so when I got it to the catcher without

564
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: a hop, and when you stand on that mound, nothing

565
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: can really get you ready for that. If you haven't

566
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: done that before, it's just a weird feel. And you

567
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: know fans are everywhere. You're like, here we go. The

568
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: best The best thing you can do is just try

569
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: to go high air on the high side. That's what

570
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: I'll do if I ever get an opportunity to do

571
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: that again. Anyway, this is the next more likely to

572
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: happen with baseball starting tonight. I want to word this carefully.

573
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: More likely to have the most valid champion of this

574
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: weird COVID season MLB, NBA or NFL. Now, before you answer,

575
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I understand that the NBA has been abbreviated at the

576
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: end and they're in a bubble. MLB's totally abbreviated, and

577
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: the NFL is still gonna play a sixteen game season.

578
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: That's the goal, and look everything subject to change because

579
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going to happen though. Our whole

580
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: world has been turned upside down here. But you know,

581
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: maybe I should just put it between Major League Baseball

582
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: and the NBA. I think the answer is pretty obvious

583
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: it's the NFL, but maybe it's not to you. So

584
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: what do you think about how the champion this year

585
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: and each of those sports will be appreciated, remembered, they

586
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: will be accounted for. I think the NFL in I mean,

587
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: obviously it remains to be seen what happens with a

588
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: full season. If somehow it gets the season is not

589
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: fully played, then then obviously there'll be a sort of

590
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: fan assessed discount on that particular championship. I do think

591
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: that the I think Major League Baseball probably will have.

592
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I think the bigger discount the NBA did have. I

593
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: don't know how much this season they played. Seventy five percent,

594
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: maybe eighty percent of the season they played, I would

595
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: have something of something of that Magnetude thirteen left or

596
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: something like that. Right, So they played a majority of

597
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: the season, and they had this big break and then

598
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: obviously they're, you know, they're gonna, you know, do this

599
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: thing down into bubble. So I my gut tells me

600
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: because of the format of the NBA, even though they're

601
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna be as close to a full season as possible,

602
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: I think the NBA will be discounted by fans, oh,

603
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: because you were in that that whole bubble thing. At

604
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: least in Major League Baseball for the most part, most

605
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: teams are playing in their home ballparks. It's gonna look

606
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: what we're it's gonna look like what we're used to seeing.

607
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: So I think the NBA there'll probably be a there'll

608
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: probably be more of a discount on that. Major League

609
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: Baseball there will be, Well, it was only a sixty

610
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: game season, but you're gonna have extended, expanded playoffs, so

611
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to win a couple of playoffs series

612
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: to get to the World Series and obviously win the

613
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: World Series. So I think maybe I think NBA just

614
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: because the format of being in the bubble, I think

615
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: that'll because that'll look different in unique to people. I

616
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: think people will kind of discount that more than they

617
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: will Bajor League Baseball, even though Major League Baseball is

618
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: only playing what sixty games, you know, roughly less than

619
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: of a full season. I think the NFL plays as is.

620
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't depending on how the season goes, obviously, but

621
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: I think with the NFL, I think I would almost

622
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: give more credit to a team for making it all

623
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: the way through a COVID nineteen adult season. If that

624
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: makes sense, Well, like that, you guys won the championship

625
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: during COVID nineteen. I'll stand on it. I'll stand on

626
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: the table and clop for you, because we know what

627
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: it's taken just in our building, just to get it

628
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: to a point where players can walk in the building.

629
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: You go win a championship through that, I'm gonna give

630
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: you a huge tip of the cap. But here here's

631
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: the thing. I think the answer to this question, who's

632
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: got the most valid champion this COVID strained season MLB, NBA, NFL,

633
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: I think it's the team that wins that faces is

634
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: the competition that was least affected by COVID. You understand

635
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying there. Yeah, if if you beat the

636
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers in the Super Bowl, but Garoppolo doesn't

637
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: play and Bosa doesn't play because they test positive, yeah yeah,

638
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: that's not going to be looked upon as highly as

639
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: somebody who goes all the way through and they're facing

640
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: like somebody went to the NBA title and they beat

641
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: Lebron in the full house, Lakers in the bubble. Yeah,

642
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, uh, look, we we sometimes let me ask

643
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: you a question. Let me ask you a question. Though.

644
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: You remember the nineteen ninety eight Tennessee Volunteers, right, remember

645
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: them won a championship. Didn't face Chris Winky. Yeah, didn't

646
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: face Chris Waite. I mean, it's it's not something that's

647
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: brought up. I mean when most people talk about the

648
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: ninety eight Tennessee season, unfortunately they bring up with pout

649
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Clint um And because that was the most memorable game

650
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: and it was a team that should have beaten Tennessee,

651
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: but nobody brings up the fact that they had to

652
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: face the red Rooster Marcus Outson in the championship game

653
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: and not Chris Winky. So if I could see your point, Yeah,

654
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: there'll be some people that, let's say, where the Exans

655
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: and the Texans were to do that, it will it'll

656
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, but no, I'm talking nationally. Oh, they

657
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: could have never wanted Super Bowl if they had to

658
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: face off nationally. There has been for different reasons. Um

659
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: one in particular that national national analysts don't want to

660
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: give the Texans much credit for anything, uh for that

661
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: For that reason, I think it would be discounted in

662
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: some people's eyes if the situation you bring up happens.

663
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: But you know what, when that ring goes on a finger,

664
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: it won't matter. It won't matter whether Garoppolo played or CJ.

665
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Bether had to take over for the Niners. It wouldn't matter.

666
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: If you know Tom Brady, you know, can't get on

667
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: the field for the Buccaneers and you gotta beat them

668
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: in a championship, it would be a ring. Okay, all right,

669
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: we got one more for you here. More likely to happen,

670
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: all right, more likely to be the number one and

671
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: number two receivers for the Texans, Cooks and Cob, Fuller

672
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: and Cobb or the field, Cooks and Cob, Fuller and

673
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: Cob or the field. I firmly have Cobb entrenched as

674
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: the number two receiver on this team this year. I

675
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: just see him catching a lot of balls. But I

676
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: can see one of the other guys like whoever is

677
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: you know? Full If Fuller stays healthy, he's gonna catch

678
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: a ton of football. As we all know this but

679
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: it's a big if because he hasn't been able to

680
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: do it right. So we'd love to see it and

681
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: just put this whole thing to rest and let Cooks

682
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: be a compliment and go nuts on the other side

683
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: and force the defense to just tear their hair out.

684
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: How you're gonna cover those guys? And you got a

685
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: cob coming underneath, you got whatever, you have a tight end,

686
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: you got the backs running wild. It's gonna be awesome.

687
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: But last year Hopkins had one hundred four catches led

688
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: the team. Fuller was second with forty nine. Then is

689
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson with forty four. There's a tremendous jo drop

690
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: off last year. We all know it's gonna be more.

691
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: Even the top receiver probably has eighty five. Well, that'd

692
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: be nice. If Fuller is eighty five catches, you're probably

693
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: torching people for like nineteen thousand yards. I mean, come on,

694
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: let's oh my gosh, signed me up for that. Anyway,

695
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: go on, you're you're. When you ask me these questions,

696
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: sometimes I try and figure out, Okay, what's the underlying

697
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: question here? And the underlying question is who do I

698
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: think will stay healthy for a full sixteen game? Schedule

699
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: Will Fuller or Brandon Cooks, and that's kind of where

700
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: that's that's going. But I think I was a big

701
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: I was a big Will Fuller fan come out of

702
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. I was so happy when he came to

703
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: the Texans. I've seen that guy turn himself into what

704
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: should be a number one wide receiver in this league. Yep,

705
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: He's got every asset that you want. His hands have improved,

706
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: his route running is damn near pristine. He's got the

707
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: the acceleration to go buy. I mean, just to watch

708
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: him on the field and see how he just so

709
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: smoothly goes by guys, and it's just a question of

710
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: which guy stays healthy. I think Will finally does it.

711
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: I think this is the year where Will stays healthy,

712
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: if not for sixteen games, at least for fourteen games.

713
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a game that he misses at the end

714
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: because the Texans have clinched it and he can miss

715
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: that game. But I think this is the season where

716
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: Will plays fourteen to sixteen games, and I think it's

717
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: the year where he has that People might say, you know,

718
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: breakout sort of year. So I'm gonna say it's Fuller

719
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: and Cobb, although I do think that Brandon's gonna stay

720
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: healthy too, So I think you're gonna have, you know,

721
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: a pretty healthy combination with those three. Do I think

722
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: all three of them stay healthy all year long. I

723
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm being naive to think that they can,

724
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: but I do think for Will this year, I think

725
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: this is the year he's gonna stay healthy. And not

726
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: because it's a contract or anything like that. I think

727
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: for Will, the breaks have, you know, when he some

728
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: of the issue that he was having last year. I'm convinced,

729
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: my opinion, nobody else's, I'm convinced some of that had

730
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that his knee was not

731
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: it was it was good enough to go, but I

732
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: don't think he was one hundred percent with it. And

733
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: I think because he wasn't one hundred percent with it,

734
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: I think that was impacting, you know, some of the

735
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: other things. And I think now two years removed from

736
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: the knee injury, had an offseason to get himself healthy,

737
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: work on hamstring strength, work on those sort of things.

738
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: You know. Twenty eighteen, he was pretty much he was

739
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: kind of on track. He had a little bit of

740
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: him issue in Indianapolis but he bounced back from that

741
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: and really was kind of taken off when he got

742
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: hurt in the Miami game by a but really a

743
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: freak injury because he had smoked by a guy and

744
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: a guy just yanked him down. So I'm going with

745
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: the fact that Will stays fully healthy and he will

746
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: be the number one guy. So I guess I'm going

747
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: fuller in cop Okay. Next up, Washington does not have

748
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: a name for its team, but there was a name

749
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,319

Speaker 1: Yes interested, yeah, very very I don't know why. I mean,

833
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: it's two fifty year old guys. That doesn't matter. It's

834
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: Tyson and Roy Jones it's gonna be Look, I don't

835
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be great. By the way, it's

836
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: on pay per view and some streaming service called Triller

837
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not overly familiar with it. I should be.

838
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: I think it's I think Tyson's. I could be wrong

839
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: about this, but I thought I read today that that's

840
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: Tyson's production company or something related to Tyson. I could

841
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: be wrong with that about that, but I I saw

842
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: something that said it's kind of a legend, like a

843
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: legend series, and I'm like, I wouldn't. I would, I

844
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: would be down for that. I don't. I mean boxing

845
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: is one of those sports mark that I I loved.

846
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in the eighties when Sugar

847
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: Ray and Tommy Hearns and Marvels Marvin Hagler were round

848
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: robin fighting, and then you threw Roberto Duran in there.

849
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: I loved those fights. And of course when I was

850
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: in high school, Tyson was pison was it. I mean

851
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: he watched you didn't miss a second of his fights?

852
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: I mean it lasted fifteen minutes if that, you didn't

853
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: miss a second of his fights. I loved boxing, and

854
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: then just over the years. I just I don't know.

855
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: I just fell out of love with it and haven't

856
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: seen you know, a good fight from beginning to end.

857
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long I will watch that

858
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: fight Tyson Roy Jones. I will watch it. Do you

859
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: remember people saying when UFC what was really started to

860
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: take off, UFC is gonna replace boxing someday, and yup,

861
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: it pretty much. I mean it has really. UFC is everywhere,

862
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: and it's not like you get these explosions that you

863
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: used to get like Haggler and Sugar Ray Leonard or

864
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, Lennox Lewis and what you know as late

865
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: as that, but but you do have this steady flow.

866
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: And in boxing, I know it's on, but it's it's

867
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: not the same anyway. I just thought i'd mentioned that,

868
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: all right, So the Washington football team, Johnny, I could

869
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: imagine doing games for them. And by the way, I

870
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: reached out to um, it's Julie for Donald's name, but

871
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: Julie Donaldson. She's running the radio crew, but she's not

872
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna do play by play. I reached out not just

873
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: to say congrats and everything. Yeah, we'll see what happens.

874
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: She's just overseeing the team and she's gonna be on

875
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: the broadcast, so that I got you. But good for

876
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: her anyway I would I would probably you know, touchdown

877
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: Washington football team. You know, like if you say it right,

878
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna take off. But I just think it's it's

879
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: too bad they couldn't come up with something. But what

880
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: did I say on this show that if whatever you pick,

881
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: you better have made sure that this thing has staying power,

882
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: that this thing's gonna stay good for a long long

883
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: time and no one's gonna be offended or whatever else.

884
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: You know. I could see going to red tails, But

885
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: is that gonna be all right at some point? I

886
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean I I assume so, but who knows?

887
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: So m I think they they played it safe, of course,

888
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: because this all happened so fast. I love the helmets

889
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: with the number. I mean that looks kind of cool.

890
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: I saw somebody tweet today, Um a guy that I've

891
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: known for a while. It was from Jacksonville, but he

892
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: went to University of Alabama. He does a lot of

893
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: stuff as radio station or his radio show in Tuscaloosa.

894
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: He's like, well, heck, now, the Washington defense is nothing

895
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: but Alabama players, so again just put a numera on

896
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: the helmet that yeah, why not? Why what about? What

897
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: about this? Now? I had no idea and this just

898
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: shows you something like me, I had no idea. The

899
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: NHL was actually expanding again, but they did it to

900
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: Seattle and the team announced its name, and it's the Kraken.

901
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: The Kraken like the Monster and Pirates of the Caribbean.

902
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: It's a legendary sea monster and really based on I

903
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: did some reading based on giant squid sightings off the

904
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: Scandinavian coasts where you had like, apparently there are these

905
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: squids that are like forty feet long. Oh my gosh,

906
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm never going swimming off the Scandinavian coast to forget that. Yeah,

907
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: but the cracking and the logo is so good, like

908
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: I want cracking gear. What do you think they they

909
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: showed at some point I saw this on social media.

910
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: They showed that what the jerseys are gonna look like.

911
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, those those are nice. I love

912
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: the logo, the s and then you can see kind

913
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: of the tail in there. It's perfect. I mean there's

914
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: some people saying it's a little I don't it's probably

915
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: ninety other way ninety percent saying like you and I,

916
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: it's fantas pastic. It's fantastic. I love it. It's unique,

917
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: it's different. I mean, I feel like Seattle going into

918
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: the NHL having something that's you know, it's not the

919
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: the you know, Sea Wolves or it's the Crack. And

920
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: I remember Greg Hardy when he was with the Carolina

921
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: Panthers and he had a year and I'm trying to

922
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: remember what year it was. It was like fourteen or

923
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 1: fifteen before he went completely off the deep end, who,

924
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: by the way, is now in UFC. They would his

925
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: sort of mantra was unleashed the cracking, and that was

926
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of his like I'm gonna unleash the cracking. That

927
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: was like his kind of calling card. And that's what

928
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: his nickname, but kind of this calling card was. And

929
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: I used to love it. Was like that's pretty interesting.

930
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: So when I saw it today for Seattle, was like,

931
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: I like this, and I'm glad that Seattle is getting

932
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: back at NHL team. And I hope in due time

933
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: Seattle gets back at the NBA team. Yeah, I think

934
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: they will eventually. They will eventually, but we gotta have

935
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,680
