She has got 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: a tremendous event going on tomorrow in Houston that you 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: do not want to meet. You do don't want to miss, 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: you don't want to miss it. This is going to 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: be if you have it's the right way of saying this. 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: If you have a if you have a jones for 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: Houston sports, then this one is for you. And Patty 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: has been with us for a long long time, but 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: she's now with the Houston Harris County hust Sports Authority 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: and she's got a tremendous event going on Tuesday, and 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: you do not you don't know, you don't miss. So 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: Patty essentially coming on serves as a reminder for that. 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: We will also have on with us tonight. Joe Webb 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Jolton Joe Webb who. I'm not really sure that Joe 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: Webb knew who Jolton Joe was when Mark asked him that, 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: so he kind of had this quizzical look. But that's 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: kind of dating yourself in some sense. I mean, it 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: is a dated reference. It is he dated reference for me. 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: But since I followed baseball history, I knew exactly who 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Joelton Joe was. Maybe Joe knew, and I just got 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: the impression that he really didn't know who Jolton Joe 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: DiMaggio was because Mark will call him Joelton Joe on 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: the air, and I don't know, maybe for some of 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: you who goes over your head too, But either way, 32 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: Joe Webb's gonna join us later in the show as well. 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: Now we've had all kinds of uh, what's the right word, 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 1: noise stuff, interesting things going on the last few weekends. 35 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, last Friday was the first Friday we didn't 36 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: have news for like three weeks, so we kind of 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: things altogether for Friday's show and then thought, Okay, here's 38 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: our plan, and maybe the plan has to change, and 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: well it didn't for the first Friday in three weeks. 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: So things have been a little crazy, if you will, 41 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: and I think in some sense, what it's done is 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: sort of glossed over the fact that we get a 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: season coming up. It's coming up very quickly. The players 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: are out on break, they are getting some much needed 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: rest and relaxation, and hopefully they're gearing up for July 46 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: twenty fourth. I think that's gonna be a report day. 47 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I think July twenty fifth is the first day of 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: training camp. I believe. Oh man, it's a month. I 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: just I did the math. Holy cow. Today is June 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: twenty fourth. The players report on July twenty fourth, and 51 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: I believe the first day of training camp practices to 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: twenty fifth. Holy cow, We're a month away from the 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: players reporting. This is unbelievable. Oh, they got me excited 54 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: when I just thought about that, when I did the 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: math on it. Now, it means that the season's coming up, 56 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: and the opponents coming up as well. And you know 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: who they are. Atlanta, Carolina, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, the 58 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: NFC South got the AFC West Kansas City, the LA Chargers, Oakland, Denver. 59 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: You've also got the two that you match up with 60 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: an AFC based on where you finished last year. You 61 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: finished first place last year, so you get to face 62 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: two first place teams. That means Baltimore and New England. 63 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: So obviously you faced all four first place teams and 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: AFC well three of them because you were the first 65 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: place team last year, and the other one would be 66 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: the kanc Chiefs, but you were planning on playing them anyways, 67 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: because the AFC West is in rotation, so Baltimore, New 68 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: England you play based on first place efforts on all 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: of those. And then you've got Jacksonville, Indianapolis, and Tennessee 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: in the division. So I figured, you know what, let's 71 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: get the show off thinking about the season and thinking 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: about the players we will play. And yes, the Texans 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: face some tremendous quarterbacks in no certain order, Matt r 74 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Jamis Winston, Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, 75 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Philip Rivers, Derek Carr, Joe Flacco potentially. I 76 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: say potentially because it's later in the season and Joe 77 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: has not gotten to the end of the season. Plus 78 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: also Drew Locke was drafted, So there you go, Nick Foles, 79 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and Marcus Marion presumably unless it ends up 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: being Ryan Tannehill. The one thing that stood out to 81 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: me on that list as I read them, there's not 82 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: one rookie, not one rookie. Now, Drew Locke could be 83 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: in Denver, could be, but this second round Pickton Bah 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: probably not. There are no rookies on that list. There 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: are veterans, they're Pro bowlers. There's Matt Ryan, pro bowler, 86 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: an MVP, Cam Newton, pro bowl er, MVP. Jamis Winston's 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 1: gone Roe Pro Bowl. I think everybody in a NFC 88 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: South Breeze obviously as a pro bowler. Lamar is going 89 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: into second year Lamar Jackson with Baltimore Ravens, some guy 90 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: named Brady. You know about Patrick Mahomes, last year's MVP, 91 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has been a Pro bowler. Derek Carr's pro bowler, 92 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco one time on a Super Bowl and I 93 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: don't think he's ever gone to a Pro Bowl, though, 94 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Nick Foles Super Bowl MVP, Andrew Luck you know what 95 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: he's done, pro bowler, and Mariotas Mariot is the only 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: quarterback on this list that's been in the league longer 97 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: than a couple of years that has not been a 98 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: Pro Bowler. If I've done my math right, I could 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: be wrong and all that, but I don't think Flack's 100 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: ever going to a a Pro Bowl. That said, we know 101 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks they play, but what about the other offensive players, 102 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: the other offensive players, Let's say it that way, the 103 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: non quarterback offensive players. A boy, there are some good 104 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: ones on this list. So we're gonna kick off the 105 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: show with the altimate eleven non quarterbacks that the Texans 106 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: face in twenty nineteen. Now, I got out my music 107 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: and there it is. We always start off the Alterune 108 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: eleven with some honorable mention others receiving votes. Here are 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: some of the players that I did not put in 110 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: the Ultimate eleven. Starry with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, 111 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints tackle Ryan Ramchek University Wisconsin to see 112 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: Titans running back Derek Henry, I think may have been 113 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: one of the most improved players of Texans saw well, 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: they saw the improvement after he played in Texas. Thank 115 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: god Keen Allen charges wide receiver in there. WHOA wait 116 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a second, no, Keenan Allen. Yeah, that tells you how 117 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: stout this list is going to be. Running back Melvin 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: Gordon to the LA Chargers, also as Keenan Allen with 119 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: LA Chargers, and then I put off at to tackle 120 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. I think one of the bigger issues last 121 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: year with the Jags was, yes, Blake Bortles took about 122 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: five steps back, but a bigger issue to me was 123 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: the fact they didn't have Cam Robinson left tackle, and 124 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: then everybody else along the offensive line got hurt, and 125 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: then it was a feeding frenzy, especially in Week seventeen here. 126 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: So Cam Robinson to me is a bigger piece and 127 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: a much more important piece than anybody else. And yes, 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: that does include Leonard Fournette. You know, you guys have 129 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: heard me for a few years, and now I'll say, 130 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I do not think Fournette is all that and bag 131 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: of chips. I think he's a good player, but I 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: don't think he is Ezekiel Elliott Todd Gurley class. I 133 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: don't think he's in that clo. I don't think you 134 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: put him into Levion Bell class. He's definitely not, say 135 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: Kuon Barkley. But that's it. I think Cam Robinson is 136 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: probably the most important offensive piece in Jacksonville not named 137 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: Nick Foles. So there you go, all right, So let's 138 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: get the ultimate eleven players the Texans are going to 139 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: face this year on the offensive side of the ball, 140 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: the non quarterbacks. And I start with number eleven. This 141 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: is a name You're gonna go, wait a second, you 142 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: just put this guy in the Ultimate eleven. Well, when 143 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: I tell you Mitchell Schwartz, Schwartz, it's a little bit 144 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: it goes back in time for me. And the reason 145 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: I say that is because Mitchell was a sophomore I 146 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: think at Cow and they were playing University Miami in 147 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: a bowl game and it was actually out in where 148 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: the Championship Giants play baseball, and I don't know what 149 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: the stadium is called now it's pack Bell. He used 150 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: to be a teen t whatever. I don't know what 151 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: it's called. But I remember watching that night and I 152 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: was like, WHOA. I couldn't take my eyes off this 153 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: number seventy two. I'm like, who is this? I look 154 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: it up to Mitchell Schwartz and I'm like falling in 155 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: love with this guy. Every single rep, every rep. This 156 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: guy is just absolutely phenomenal. And he gets to the 157 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and has not only solidified the offensive line, 158 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: he's taken into a whole different level. He was named 159 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: second team All Pro last year. He was originally with 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland second round in Cleveland, but he then signed with 161 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: Kansas City and he's been unbelievable. Sixteen game starter last year, 162 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: has not missed a single snap in his career. Second 163 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: team All Pro. He creates a ton of issues on 164 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: the right side of the formation. Now Eric Fishers on 165 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: the left side, former number one pick. I'll take Mitchell 166 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: Schwartz all day, every day. Put him at number eleven. 167 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: Number ten is c mac Christian McCaffrey, running back the 168 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Now he's not your traditional running back. You're 169 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: gonna give him the ball. Three hundred carries in a year, 170 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: You're not gonna do that. Last year he had two 171 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: hundred nineteen carries, but he averaged over five yards to carry. 172 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: He had one thousand ninety yards seven touchdowns, but he 173 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: also had one hundred and seven receptions. He went over 174 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: a thousand yards almost eleven hundred yards and had over 175 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: one hundred receptions eight hundred and sixty seven yards, he 176 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: accounting for thirteen total touchdowns. He does it as a receiver, 177 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: he does it as a running back. He is the 178 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: perfect compliment to Cam Newton throwing the ball in the 179 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: backfield line him up out. Why throwing the football? Handling 180 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the football he can run inside. He averaged over five 181 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: yards to carry. He had eighty receptions in rookie. In 182 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen he had one hundred and seven. He's averaging 183 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: ninety three and a half catches per year. Now he 184 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have a tony yards because he's running back, so 185 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: there's certain rountes he's gonna run. But one hundred and 186 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: seven catches. Christian McCaffrey had put in number ten, which 187 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: feels maybe a little bit low, But then when you 188 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: hear who's at number nine, you're gonna wait a second, 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, this list. My gush is ultimate eleven. He's 190 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: crazy at number nine. Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman. Last 191 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: year he was down a little bit from when he 192 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: played in twenty sixteen. Twenty sixty and almost one hundred catches. 193 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: He had ninety eight catches eleven hundred yards. Last year 194 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: he was coming off an ACL tear. He had seventy 195 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: four receptions, eight hundred and fifty yards, six touchdowns. But 196 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: the real story of Julian Edelman's year came into playoffs. 197 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: He was a Super Bowl MVP. The Chiefs couldn't stop him. 198 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady went to him over and over and over 199 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: in that Chiefs game. He destroyed the Rams and the 200 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman comes in at 201 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: number nine. At number eight is q Quentin Nelson arguably 202 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: the best lineman the Texans are going to face this 203 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: year and every other year. I think he is going 204 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: to be. He was a Pro bowler last year. He 205 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: was I believe All Pro as well. He's going to 206 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: be a first team All Pro and a Pro Bowler 207 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: for the next twelve years. My hope is that after 208 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: four years he gets disgruntled in Indianapolis once he was 209 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: somewhere else, because we got to face that joker twice 210 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: a year. He was my number one player and Harris 211 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: one hundred. Heading into the twenty eighteen draft, he was 212 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: drafted number six overall Anapolis, which I did not want. 213 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: And he is a star in the making and we 214 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: got to face him twice a year. I put him 215 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: at number eight. She probably should be a little bit 216 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: lower than that, but I put him at number eight. 217 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: Number seven, the Texans got to face Mike Evans. Last year, 218 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: Mike got back to his typical numbers. He dropped off 219 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: a little bit in twenty seventeen, but last year eighty 220 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: six catches, one thousand, five hundred twenty four yards. He 221 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: averaged nearly eighteen yards to catch. He had eight touchdowns. 222 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: He is a monster. He is six foot six, two 223 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five pounds, and if you've seen him 224 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: up close, you go, how does how does the defensive 225 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: back cover you? What do they do? Mike Evans I 226 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: put at number six. Now I battled with seven and 227 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: six because there's a part of me that thinks that 228 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown's best football is behind him. But we haven't 229 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: gotten to that level yet. Last year, even missing the 230 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: last game of the year, he had one hundred and 231 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: four catches for almost thirteen hundred yards and fifteen touchdowns fifteen. 232 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: Now he goes out to Oakland playing with the Raiders, 233 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: he'll be the mark guy. He'll see double teams, he'll 234 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: see everything. Derek Carr is gonna probably have to force 235 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: him the football. But look, they signed Tyrell Brown, excuse me, 236 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Terrell Williams as well. They drafted Josh Jacobs. They've put 237 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: a few weapons around him. But Antonio Brown's gonna be 238 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: the straws during a drink. I don't know he'll get 239 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: the hundred catches in Oakland, but the level of respect 240 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: that he will command is off the charts. And number 241 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: five is t Y Hilton. Now, I don't need to 242 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: tell you a single number. I just know that with 243 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton walks Energy Stadium, every single Houston Texan 244 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: fan just you just know. Ty was only one one time, 245 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: but the Texans, I want to say, locked him up. 246 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: That was twenty sixteen and locked him up. And that's 247 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: the one game that Texans him one at home since 248 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and even in twenty twelve to get off 249 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: the schneide, Andrew luck Is, a rookie, found t Y 250 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Hilton for a touchdown a deep ball, believe it or not. 251 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: T Y Hilton's at number five, Oh boy. I probably 252 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: couldn't put him a number four because of how much 253 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: he kills the Texans. But at number four and with 254 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: Alvin Camara, Now I started thinking about this as I 255 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: as I put this together, and I was like, wait 256 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: a second, Camara I got at number four and McCaffrey's 257 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: at number ten. Did I did I mess that up 258 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: a little bit, did I did? I overshoot in some 259 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: sense with McCaffrey being too low or too high in 260 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: Camara being too low. Maybe, But to me it's the explosiveness. 261 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Camara had one hundred ninety four rushing attempts, eight hund 262 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: eighty three yards, fourteen touchdowns. He had eighty one receptions 263 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: in four touchdowns, so he counted for eighteen touchdowns. To me, 264 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: he's just a tad bit more explosive and dangerous in 265 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: his offense. Yes, McCaffrey volume wise, gets more, but Camara 266 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: explosively dangerous in that offense, and yes, he's got some 267 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: help around him, which leads me to number three. Michael Thomas, 268 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: his teammate at wide receivers. Some think he is the 269 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: best receiver in the game. We all know who the 270 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: best receiver in the game is and he lives in 271 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: this locker room. But one hundred and twenty five catches 272 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: for over fourteen hundred yards and nine touchdowns, Michael Thomas 273 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: is that guy for the New Orleans Saints. With Thomas 274 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: and Camara, it's hard to pick between either one. Which 275 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: one's more dangerous. I think it's out all and how 276 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: they match up with the opponent, they're both going to 277 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: create issues for the Texans. I put Camara at four, 278 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas at three. Now the guy I haven't too 279 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: You might think, wait a second, he's really You put 280 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: him at two and I keep him on. I'm not 281 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: doing quarterbacks. These are non quarterbacks. But every time the 282 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey steps on the field against the Houston Texans, 283 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: it is a problem. And last year he had one 284 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: hundred and three catches for over thirteen hundred yards and 285 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Those are receiver numbers. And look, he's not 286 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: really a tight end. I mean he's tight end wide receiver, 287 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: kind of hybrid, but he'll block his butt off. He's 288 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: six six, two sixty. He is exactly what we want 289 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Collie Waring and George Nakins to be. This guy is 290 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: an absolute dude, and he crushes the Texans every single time. 291 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey at number two and at number one. It's 292 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: a guy luckily we face every four years. But if 293 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is not the best receiver in the league 294 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: by your definition, not by mine, because he's number one, 295 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is number two, one hundred thirteen catches over 296 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: sixteen hundred yards, only had eight touchdowns. It's take the 297 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: wall to get those touchdowns. But he's six three two 298 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: twenty and he is a matchup nightmare. And for that, 299 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: I think I really worry about him coming into NRG Stadium. 300 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: Julio Jones at number one, So there you go, all right, 301 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's Jolton Joe Webb. Well, I'll try 302 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: to explain who Jolton Joe is next right here in 303 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: Texas All Access. Happy Monday, everybody. Welcome back to our 304 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: money edition of Texas All Access from the Hunday Texans 305 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: Radio Studio.

Now I'll 308 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: ask you this question because Mark starts this question off 309 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: for Joe. Do you know who Jolton Joe was? Now 310 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: we use that nickname probably a lot, some of you 311 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: may not even know who that is. So think about 312 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: that as we talk with Joe Webb about anything and everything, 313 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: playing quarterback, point special teams, his role this team. He's 314 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: such a fun guy to talk to. Here is Jolton 315 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: Joe Webb. So if I call you Jolton Joe Webb 316 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: on the air. Is that good or is that okay? 317 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: Like if I have a nickname or something, or do 318 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: you not want spider Whip whatever you want Web, That's 319 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: not bad, Jolton Joe. That's that might be a data 320 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: reference though, yeah, but it's it's okay though, you know, 321 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: Jolton Joe is right, Yeah, okay, is a data reference, 322 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: but not bringing it back. We're trying to bring it back. 323 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: We're trying to bring it back, Joe. Is there anything 324 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: on a football field? After a year workingnvinced that you 325 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: could do anything? Is there anything in a football field 326 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: that you can't do well? I would say long snapper. 327 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean I did in a high school. But yeah, exactly, 328 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: you did in high school, so you could do it 329 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: if you needed to. But I would imagine that's what 330 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: makes you so valuable to any team you ever been on, 331 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: obviously to us, the fact that you could do anything 332 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: on a team. Somebody gets banged up, a receiver, you 333 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: got into the game, somebody quarterback, somebody special teams like 334 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: you can go in there. When you look at your 335 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: career and you look at it that way, what does 336 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: that say to you that you have that versatility that 337 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: you can play any position on the field when you're asked. Well, 338 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: first of all, I just I love playing ball. I 339 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: love being on the field. I have a great passion 340 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: for the game. And one of the first things I 341 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: heard once I got into the NFL was the more 342 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: you can do. Now, that's all people are saying, more 343 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: you could do, more you can do. So I kind 344 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: of took that and ran with it. Yeah, you definitely 345 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: did because receiver, quarterback, whatever else you could possibly do, 346 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: you made it out on the field as a receiver 347 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: last year here. How tough is practice for you because 348 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: you kind of have to know a little bit of 349 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: everything out there? How does that go for you on 350 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: a week to week basis, Joe, It all depends on 351 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: our opponent. You know, we have an opponent, you know, 352 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, which is a scrambler quarterback, running type of quarterback. 353 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: You know, you know. I had to I had to 354 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: feel in that role, right, you know, and then I 355 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: also had to receiver role also, so special teams. I mean, man, 356 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm running alladay. I badly get breaks. My owner break 357 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: is like when field goal team is a did you 358 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: ever kick field goals. No, don't answer that because we 359 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: already know the answer. Do you. I remember the day 360 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: that you were in the building and you were going 361 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: back up the side your contract and you've been around 362 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: the league for a while and you've seen it from 363 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: a lot of different angles. But was there any nervousness 364 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: or anxiety this offseason about where you're gonna be or 365 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: did you always feel like if I get the opportunity, 366 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: I want to come back to Houston. Yeah? Man, I 367 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: feel like Houston is a you know, a great place 368 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: for me. You know, it feel like home. You know, 369 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: it's back in the South, you know, from Alabama, so 370 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: I'm used to the heat. Yeah, you know, it's it's 371 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: it's a great atmosphere. You know, it's a football state, 372 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, which is unfamiliar with from being from Alabama. 373 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: So I mean it's it's a great place for me. Man. 374 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: What was it like seeing what Deshaun Watson went through 375 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: last year as a quarterback of the beating he took 376 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: and the ability to stay out there on the field, 377 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: make plays, take the boss, whatever it took in order 378 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: to play. I think it showed a lot, you know, 379 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: the willingness he's he's able to take, you know, to 380 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: will his team to win. You know, uh, you know, 381 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: teammates saw him, you know, come to the sidelines with poors. 382 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: You know, no matter what happened on the field, he 383 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: always had poors about himself. You know, he always had 384 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: that competitive spirit. You know, so I think it shows 385 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot for him, you know, just you know, no 386 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: matter how that how the game's going, you know, good 387 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: ups and downs. You know, he always you know, poors 388 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: about in competitive reader to win. Joe, you run. I 389 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: believe all special teams last year and and obviously you 390 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: will see you know QB by your name, that's your position. 391 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: You play quarterback. You do a lot of different things, 392 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: but special teams in particular, it felt like last year's group, 393 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: especially kickoff. I'd see the guys go out for kickoff 394 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: and it was like, you guys seem to have a 395 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: different vibe around playing special teams like you and Ajum 396 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: and Peter Kellumbai and the guys you had out there 397 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: amongst others. It just felt like, hey, this is our 398 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: time to shine, and you knew what your role had 399 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: to be for that game. How difficult is that for 400 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: younger players to look at playing special teams and go, Okay, 401 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: this is my role. I'm gonna accept it because they 402 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: look at you and they see you doing that. What's 403 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: that like for younger players to have to try and 404 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: accept that role to play on special teams? And how 405 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: do you look at that role special teams? I look 406 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: at it. You know, it is one of the most important, 407 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: you know things in the game. You know a lot 408 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: of people don't think of special teams like that, But 409 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: it's all about field position and I was about it's 410 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: all about momental change. You know, it can make a 411 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: bit difference in the game. You know, you go out, Dad, 412 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: you hit the punt return and he fumbled the ball, 413 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: you pick it up. You know, it's a it's a 414 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: momentum swinger. So you know, you tell young guys like that, Man, hey, 415 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: you could build your career off of special teams. You know, 416 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: you know you might not be a starter right now, 417 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: but it'll help you work your way up until being 418 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: a starter. So, uh, you know, the young guys coming 419 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: in now know they more and more they started understand 420 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: than coach O'Brien. He always emphasizing special team, special team. 421 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: So I think we go get better. We're gonna be 422 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: a lot better this year and continue to build on it. 423 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: How important is that locker room chemistry, whatever you guys 424 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: have together as a bond as players. You've been around 425 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: a lot of different locker room situations. What do you 426 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: think of the one here? It's a it's very it's 427 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: a very unique bun that's that's being built right now. 428 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: A lot again, not a lot of new guys coming in. 429 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, I see guys who was here before, you know, 430 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: go up to him, Hey man, what's your name? Where 431 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: you're from? You know, trying to get the norm. And 432 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: it's not more so about you know, it's about me, 433 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: me me. It's more so like, hey man, we're gonna 434 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: need about it that's in the locker room right now 435 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: in order to win, you know, in order to get 436 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: over this, you know, first round hump. This why I 437 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: call why I call it hump. And we try to 438 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: pursue the super Bowl, so we know that for a fact, 439 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: we need everybody. You know. It isn't yes, we out 440 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: there competing, you know, to make one another better. But 441 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, hey man, I got 442 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: your beat, you got my bet. I need you, you 443 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: need me, all right? You ready for some either Oars ready, Okay, 444 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: I've got a list of like twenty two and I'm 445 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: just picking one so I feel like will fit. So 446 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: for Joe web let's start very easy, Okay, all right, 447 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson or Steph Curry. Still everybody's saying, Steph, how 448 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: do people not seek like I would have thought you 449 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: would have picked Clay Thompson. Clay. Clay is a great player, 450 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I think Steph can create more 451 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: shots for himself than Clay. Yeah. I just think Clay 452 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: does the all round. That's why. Yeah, he does the defense. Yeah, 453 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: you're right, all right, So let's go this one. Yannis 454 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: or Kauhi. Yeah, I'm starting to like start to go 455 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: the other way. Mark, We're starting to go the other way. 456 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: You can be the CEO of a company either Facebook 457 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: or Netflix. Netflix. Okay, I like to like that answer. 458 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: You can relive one athletes life from beginning the present day. 459 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: Lebron or Michael Michael. I like it. I like it. 460 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: That's a little bit old school coming out, right. Why 461 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Jordan? I mean he has a unique story. A 462 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of people don't know. He got cut from the 463 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: high school team. You know, he got cut, so he 464 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: had to bounce back from that. You know, if he 465 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: don't make it high school team, he don't go to 466 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina, he don't go to the Bulls. So you know, um, 467 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: and you know, I just I grew up watching Jordan. 468 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: You know, I remember watching regular season games. You know, 469 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: make sure you had to do your homework earlier, just 470 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: so you can watch the games. So who'd you grow 471 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: up rooting for? Though? Like what team? But the Bulls? 472 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: It was definitely him? What about the Birmingham parent ends too? 473 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: Did I watched him play? When he played the game? Oh? 474 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: Very cool? Is that weird to watch him play baseball? 475 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: He stu guy. His fans dnt here where he struck out. 476 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: Of course, I mean it's it's Michael Jordan. But all right, 477 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: all right, you kind of we're good. We started getting 478 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: some Lebrons. We did get a lot of Michaels. Of course, 479 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: Josh Ferguson was in here and he was from Chicago, 480 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: so he had to say Michael. So so it was 481 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. Last one old Town Road, either country 482 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: or hip hop. I would say I would say country. 483 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: That exactly. Billy's the one who changes. Billy makes a 484 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: country A right, thanks. I'm not terribly disappointed that Joe 485 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: Webb did not know who Jolton Joe DiMaggio was. But 486 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: that's okay, it's all right. I like spider Web a 487 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: little bit different. Joe Webb goes down to make a 488 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: tackle and Alvin Kamara caught in the spider web tackle 489 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: by Joe Webb. I could see that happening.

Yeah, yeah, that's you know what. That's an 555 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: audience builder right there. People still love watching Friends, apparently 556 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: I do. That's what honestly puts me to sleep. I 557 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: think you could have a Friends TV station. All they 558 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: do is Friends, Friends, and then have little clips. Courtney Cox, 559 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: Jennifer Anniston. Who's your favorite If you're going to date 560 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: one of them, who's your girl? Well, look, I think 561 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: it would be Jennifer Anniston. But I do love Courtney Cox. 562 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: I think I'd get along better with Courtney Cox. I do. 563 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: And I've always felt that way before about her, Like 564 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: even when she shot the Bruce Springsteen video Who's that 565 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: Girl on Stage with Bruce Nell? That, Yeah, that was 566 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: That's kind of retroactive for me. Really, I didn't feel 567 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: that way about her at that time, but I've always 568 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: liked her. I think that show and you know, I 569 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: know some people say it's a check show. No, it's not. 570 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: That shows great for everybody. It's a very well written show, 571 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: and there's a reason why people still watch it all 572 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: the time, even more than Seinfeld. Probably that's more popular 573 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: in reruns. Have you do you think you've seen every 574 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: single episode? Probably? Yeah, for sure, you know one time 575 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: or another, because look in radio when Friends was really popular, 576 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: when the lineup was Seinfeld and then first with Cheers, 577 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: then Seinfeld, but then Seinfeld and whatever came Oh mad 578 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: about You? Then Friends? Then what was on at nine thirty? 579 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: Come on, somebody, I didn't watch any of that. You 580 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: didn't watch any of that? Watch Friends when it was 581 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: airing at no and then Er came out at ten 582 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, nine o'clock Central. So when when that lineup 583 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: was on and I was doing morning radio at the 584 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: time you had and it was a music station. I 585 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: was the sports guy, but we'd all chime in on topics. 586 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: You had to watch those shows because that so what 587 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: you talked about the next day. What happened on Friends, 588 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: what happened on Seinfeld? That was your show topic matter 589 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: the next day because everybody watched it. That Thursday end 590 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: lineup crushed. Those of us that were actually working in 591 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: the games, Astro's Rockets Games every night did not watch that. See, 592 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: that's the thing. You worked twenty four hours a day 593 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: all the months of the year, Rockets and Astros. And 594 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: then when the Texans came into the picture, you were 595 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: doing on the Texans Show. I never watched primetime TV, right, nothing. 596 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: Now I watched it late at night as rerun. Were 597 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: you doing rodeo back then? Two? Oh jeez, I've only 598 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: done rodeo for maybe eight nine years, so a little 599 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: bit only only that's a lot of rodeo stuff. That's 600 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: that's a good show though, right, it's a great it's 601 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: a great, great performance. It's a great show from top two. 602 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, people think I don't know, you know, when 603 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: the area's waiting for the rodeo lineup to come out 604 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: for the concerts, and but the show itself that starts, 605 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, at seven o'clock from the bull riding and 606 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: the bronch. Right, It's just I love I love it. 607 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: I think people make and I know the rodeo has 608 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: to have the concerts to fill the building completely, but 609 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: I think the rodeo itself not enough is said about it. 610 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: And the show you guys do, It's great. The announcing 611 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: is terrific. It is by far the best. I mean, 612 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that because I'm a part of it, 613 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: but blows any other rodeo in the world away, best, 614 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: biggest and best rodeo in the world, well out of 615 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: all the ones I've been to.

So actually we trended last year the 657 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: top three trends on Twitter. We're all, um, we're all 658 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: from us from a cool Yeah, it's it's very cool, 659 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: all right. So Jackie Burke, I love this. I mean 660 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: I've heard so many Jackie Burke stories up at Champion. 661 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: Still heavily involved in everything that goes on up there, 662 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: and you basically built the club. Dan Pastorini cannot say 663 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: enough about Dante, who I think that I had he 664 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: wanted to he could be the biggest media star in 665 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: this town as a member of the media. Never mind 666 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: playing quarterback for the Oilers. But if he wanted to 667 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: go in that direction and do shows and everything, I 668 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: think that's something he just never really wanted to do. 669 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: You'd rather be him, which is a great thing to be. Yeah. Absolutely, 670 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: he's got it pretty good. He pretty much goes where 671 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: he wants and does what he wants. So but I 672 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: agree with you, he can. He can probably do anything 673 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: he wanted to do. So George Foreman. Now I'm gonna 674 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: show my kid the When We were King's movie which 675 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: featured Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, The Rumble in the 676 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Jungle back in the seventies. This is George Foreman one 677 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: point zero. And George Foreman came back one in the 678 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: eighties right as an old boxer who was in his 679 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: forties or whatever, George Foreman two point zero and started 680 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: knocking people out and the grill was out and everything. 681 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: He's had such a great career. He's one of the 682 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: most beloved athletes ever, never mind Houston, but everywhere, And 683 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: I think that in some ways, we just don't talk 684 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: enough about him. I'd like to see more of him. 685 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: We used him on the big board here once for 686 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: it might have been a playoff game. But Foreman is 687 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: really fun to just watch him operate, interviews, whatever. Oh, 688 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: he's phenomenal. His personality is bigger than life. I mean, 689 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: you saw him at Sports Awards. He got up there 690 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: on the stage and Bill Worrell made some comment to 691 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: him about just what you said, the rumble in the jungle, 692 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: all these big things, and people know you for this 693 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: little grill that cook's hamburgers, and he just went into 694 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: character and whipped out the card and it's the lean, 695 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: mean fat machine, and he just you can't help it 696 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: to love the guy. Everyone loves him. And of course 697 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: he you know, went through here just this year. I 698 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: think this is the first time we'll be hearing or 699 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: seeing from him publicly since he tragically lost one of 700 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: his daughters. Yeah, so the guy's incredible, and I think 701 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: people forget that he actually lives here in Houston. You 702 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: probably don't see. He's hard to get to. He's hard 703 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: to get ahold of. Um. He's very busy doing a 704 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of different things. So the fact that he's going 705 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: to be there is it's it's just huge. But you've 706 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: got everybody's number. I mean, I want to see your 707 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,439 Speaker 1: contact list. It's got to be tremendous. It's impressive and valuable. Yeah, 708 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: of course, Okay, aj foight, He's he's something. He's a 709 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about legends and you talk about 710 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: bigger than life. Um, this guy much like George you know, 711 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: you're not talking just about being a big deal in Houston. 712 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: This guy is one of the greatest race car drivers 713 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: of all time. Um on a not just a national 714 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: level level, a worldwide level. But yeah, he's got he's 715 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: got his shop out there and Waller, which is incredible. 716 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: All his cars are out there. Um, he's he's he's phenomenal. 717 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: And he we joked because he when we went and 718 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: told him he was going to be inducted into the 719 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, He's like, Wow, it's about Tom I 720 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: get inducted into my own hometown. You know, he's in 721 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: ten other Yeah, like it's only this is what we're 722 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: else said to him. It's just really the first year 723 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: we've kind of done this beyond the inaugural one. So 724 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: it was kind of funny, but um, and now he's 725 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: totally into it. He's got more guests coming than me 726 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: the other three, so he's, I think, very proud of it, 727 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: and um, we just we couldn't be more proud of 728 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,720 Speaker 1: this class. All right. So it's gonna be tomorrow, Houston 729 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: Sports Hall of Fame. The plaques will be unveiled. Yes, 730 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: the event starts at three.

It's we're trying to make 735 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 1: this We keep this event again kind of intimate, but 736 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: m P and c IS are presenting sponsors of this now, 737 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: so we try to make it a little bigger and 738 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: better each year.

Um. It's 750 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: just a great event. And I promise you your three 751 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: will be even better. Well, I think it's a great event, 752 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: and I think I've said this to you before. It 753 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: needed to be done. I think it needed to be 754 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: done a long time ago. And it's one of those 755 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: things that might be out there in the air, but 756 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: the capacity, the ability to put it together and to 757 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: do it well. I mean, I applaud you. You've done 758 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: such a remarkable job with that event because people might 759 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: be able to think of it. Leonardo, I was gonna say, 760 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo da Vinci actually invented a helicopter, but 761 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: he didn't have the technology to build it. You know, 762 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: people have the technology to do this, but maybe they 763 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: just didn't have the right person. And you're the right 764 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: person and you've really done it extremely well. Thanks. I 765 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: appreciate that, but it is not a person that I'm 766 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: not trying to be all blah blah blah. But we 767 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: have an incredible team at the sports. I mean, I've got, 768 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: you know, all these ideas and I mean, truth be told. 769 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: It's just you know, you do something long enough and 770 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: to back to my rolodex where you have the connections 771 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: and the relationships, I can bring that to the table. Yeah, 772 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: but I couldn't in any way, shape or form, pull 773 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: off the way it looks and the details. But you 774 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 1: get the people to show up. Like when I see 775 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: that you're calling my phone, I often don't want to 776 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: pick it up because I'm afraid that you're gonna ask me. 777 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, because you know, I'm not going to 778 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: take no for an answer. That's right. It's like, oh boy, 779 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do something. All right, let's go. 780 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: We're going to the awards. Let's go. I feel kind 781 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: of bad that I think when people see me pop 782 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: up on their phone. That's and most people think, oh, geez, 783 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: I've got to do something. No, it's good. But you're 784 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: always full of sunshine, you know what. It doesn't matter 785 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: because ultimately, at the end of the day, at the 786 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: end of the event, I mean, everybody was thrilled with it. Yeah, 787 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: I loved it, and they're gonna take my call next 788 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: time because they want to be a part of it. See, 789 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: and you toured the country going to other award shows 790 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: to see what they were like, just to get ideas 791 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: or find out how these things are run right or whatever. 792 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: You explain that to me. Yeah, no, I did. I 793 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: went to you know, kinds of all different cities and 794 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: that do it individually, and then I went to some 795 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: of the bigger ones, went to the SPS. We just 796 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: had a team in fact this week that went to 797 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: the NHL Awards. Um. We continuing to research, We continue 798 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: to go and um get ideas and um. You know, 799 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,879 Speaker 1: it's funny because we just had a meeting this morning 800 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 1: about the NHL Awards, and as great as they are, 801 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: there was so many things and that the unlimited budgets 802 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: they have and all of that, there's so many things 803 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: about ours that is so much better and that we 804 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: feel like we do better. That comes across better and 805 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: you know, so anyway, we try to, um, you know, 806 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: improve on it every year and take the best of 807 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: the best. What city did a good job with this? 808 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: You know what I liked and it hasn't. It's totally 809 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: different than ours. Is Saint Louis does the Musical Awards 810 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: and they, um, they don't do it anywhere near the 811 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: same way we do because they've told us, yeah, we 812 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: can't get the athletes to participate, so um, we don't 813 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: even they don't even try to do that. They kind 814 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: of turned it into a sportsmanship award and they like 815 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: six different great sportsmanship moments that just make you cry 816 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: and celebrate those, oh yeah, and then they honor like 817 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: one person, like a cal Ripken, and they build all 818 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: these other great moments at every level around it. And 819 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: it's just a phenomenally moving show, but very different than ours. Yeah, 820 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to cry too much, so okay to 821 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: cry a little. It is it is.

When you have the veteran coming home 824 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: and you surprise the family and the kids and they 825 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: didn't know that dad was coming home or mom, and 826 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's a big surprise and then 827 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: they're crying and they're hugging and they can't believe it. 828 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: Those always get me. That's like instant Niagara falls I 829 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: just thought i'd bring that up randomly.
