He 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: has a bar restaurant sports bar restaurant called the Big 24 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: Chill in Key Largo. He lives south of that And 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: when we first contacted him, and the reason we wanted 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: Jimmy was nineteen sixty in the semi finals of the 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: state for a playoffs port Arthur Jefferson went up against 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Corpus Christy Miller. Miller beat him six to zero, and 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: Miller beat Wichita Falls the next week and won the 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: first integrated state championship in Texas high school history. And 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: the head coach, Pete Regas, who we interviewed, love him. 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: He told us Jimmy Johnson was the best player they 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: went up against and all they had to do game planning, 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: and they scored one touchdown on a reverse by Johnny Rowland, 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: who spent thirty five years in the NFL as a 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: running back and as a coach. So we thought we 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: talked to Jimmy, and we did. We talked to him 38 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: about that game. We talked to him about the times 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: when you had the black all black pv I L 40 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: and all White U I L. And Jimmy was great. 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: He said, you know when we used to play. I 42 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: had a big yard in our house and we used 43 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 2: to play. We had black kids, we had white kids, 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: we had Hispanic kids, and we would play and then 45 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: when it got dark, our parents would call us in 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: and then we'd go to our separate high schools, and 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: we just never thought about it, and looking back on it, 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: of course, he was very honest about you know, how 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: bad it was and what the black kids went through. 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: But he was terrific, and I know he had a 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: blast because he told us, he said, when this guy, 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: when this comes out, you guys let me know because 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: I want to help you promote it. And we said, 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: oh yeah, we'll be reaching out to you because he 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: got a lot of friends who could tweet it and 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 2: retweet it. So we just we had a blast and 57 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: it was funny. His sports bar there, one of the 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: women that's worked for him for a long time was 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: talking about the biggest crowds they get or when the 60 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: Panthers play, and of course Florida Panthers just won their 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: second consecutive Stanley Cup and on our career, we talked about, man, 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: it would have been fun to be there and watch 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: them celebrate that championship. But the thing about Jimmy is, 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: you know, you retired from Fox after last season. He'd 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: done it thirty one years and so now he doesn't 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: have to fly across country to LA every weekend. He 67 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: can watch in his house. He said, he's got three 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: big screen TVs. He can watch college all day, he 69 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: can watch the NFL all day. And he said, I 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: still love football. I love watching football. And he'll be 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: eighty two when teams report to trade. Company's in really 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: really good shape. 73 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: General, what's the release date or do you have a 74 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: release date for the documentary? And way of asking this, 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: but as you continue to uncover more and more stories, 76 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: kind of where's the ending point when you guys have 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: kind of set for when this thing will be released. 78 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: We're hoping to have everything finished and ready to go 79 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: and hoping it will premiere at south By Southwest Film 80 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: Festival in Austin in March, that's the second biggest in 81 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: North America, and then get at other film festivals and 82 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: hopefully people will like it, want to distribute it, pay 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: us some money for distributing it. We're hoping since there's 84 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: so many members of the Pro Football of Fame who 85 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: played the pvi i L. The last three who are 86 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: alive and Joe Green, Kenny Houston who lives here at Kingwood, 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: and Thomas from Angleton. Joe's from Temple and we you know, 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: we're hoping because players from the pvi IL played with 89 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: every NFL team and maybe get teams to run a 90 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: version of it on their website, maybe a Football Live 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: for thirty. But we're really excited because we haven't found 92 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 2: anybody else that's doing that has done what we're doing. 93 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: Their books like the Definitive pv IL book, Michael Hurd 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: wrote Thursday Night Lights, and there's other books and articles, 95 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: but we haven't found a good documentary. Our last trip 96 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: is going to be Canton, Ohio. We're going to shoot 97 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 2: the bus and other things in the Hall of Fame 98 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: that we can find about the pv i L. We're 99 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: also road trip probably next month to Dallas to interview 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: Mike Singletary because Mike Singletary, Warren Boone, Eric Dickerson, Andre 101 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: Ware and those guys are great players who are telling 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: us they couldn't have done what they did without standing 103 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: on the shoulders of those players and coaches from the 104 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: pv I L. We haven't been turned down by anybody 105 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: in one trip. We're really looking forward to going out 106 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: to Brady in West Texas, where Santana Dodson and his dad, 107 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: Alphonse Dodson have a winery. And Alphonse played for the 108 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: Raiders with Eldridge Dickey, who played at Booker T Washington 109 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 2: here then Tennessee State, and he was the greatest PVL 110 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: quarterback who went on to the Raiders first black quarterback 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 2: drafted in the first round in nineteen sixty eight. But 112 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: Al Davis somehow moved to wide receiver and he passed 113 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: around for four years and had got on hard times 114 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: and died in two thousand. But the stories we've been 115 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: told about about him have been pretty unbelievable. In Warren 116 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: Moone told us he wouldn't be playing quarterback if not 117 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: for Elders Dickey, and I said, what are you talking about. 118 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: He grew up LA he didn't have to play in 119 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: an all black high school leagues and NOE. But I 120 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: knew who he was, and I used to when he 121 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: went to Tennessee State and he threw the ball like crazy, 122 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: like I wanted to do when I got older. He 123 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: was my inspiration and every time somebody wanted to move me, 124 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: I thought about Eldridge Dicky and I wouldn't have played 125 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: quarterback without him. So it's pretty powerful. Some of it 126 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: makes you sick to your stomach when you see what 127 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: they experienced as far as racism, but we have yet 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: to find one person who's bitter about what they experienced. 129 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Wow. Can't wait to see this next spring. Looking forward 130 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: to it. John McLean joining us and the visit with 131 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson brings up this question. Is Jimmy Johnson properly rated? 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: So we have overrated, underrated, properly rated? As an NFL 133 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: head coach? He won two Super Bowls. He kind of 134 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: probably deserves some credit for the third. I mean, how 135 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: does Barry Switzer have a Super Bowl championship ring and 136 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: Marv Levy and Bud Grant do not? But somehow that 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: happens in life. But tell me about Jimmy Johnson, your 138 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: thoughts of Jimmy Johnson as a coach. How do you 139 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: rate him? 140 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you a story. Wade Phill had a roast 141 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: and a toast in Port Arthur about five or six 142 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: years ago, and I was honored to be one of 143 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: the speakers. JJ White was another one. His son West 144 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: is now the offensive coordinator for the Vikings. And Jimmy 145 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: had known Wade forever and I was and I Jimmy 146 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: likes to drink Heineken, makes no has no reservations about. 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: He drinks it over ice. So we were in the 148 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: hotel talking ball. And then when we were at the table, 149 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: I told him he's gonna get in the Hall of Fame. 150 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: And he told me what And he said he didn't 151 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: coach long enough and the way it ended Miami, and 152 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: I said, people don't even remember you coached the Dolphins. 153 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: And so I always believe that one of the reasons 154 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: his career was short. But he had total control of 155 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: his roster, and he made a lot of trades, and 156 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: he had a good scouting department, and so what he did, 157 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: the players he drafted he traded for. All of them 158 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: were home runs, but a lot of them were like 159 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: trading his backup quarterback Steve Wallsh to the Saints for first, 160 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: second and third round picks. You know, we talked about 161 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: rschal Walker being a bad trade. That was a pretty 162 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: bad one in itself. 163 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: Wow. 164 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: And so I told him, because of the decisions he 165 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: made in personnel, that putting it head of a lot 166 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: of other coaches. And I'm so glad he got in 167 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: because I know he believe he earned it. 168 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: John McLean joining us, Hey, one question about Jimmy Johnson 169 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: making trades, draft picks, et cetera. We talk about the 170 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson draft trade chart. So if Jerry was the 171 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: GM and Jerry was so instrumental, did Jimmy really run everything? 172 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: How instrumental was Jerry Jones in the construction of the 173 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys upon the hiring of Jimmy fo the Landry era. 174 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 2: Well, the way that worked out, Jimmy had in his 175 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: contract he had vials say on all personnel. And he 176 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: told his story when we put him into Texas Sports 177 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame that when they started winning after the 178 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: first one in fifteen season, then seven and nine, then 179 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: they started winning big and his whole plan was to 180 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: be good by the third year, was Jerry is that 181 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: practice would stay up doing all deals. And then Jerry 182 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: started coming down. He said, I knew we were in trouble. 183 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: This was at the Hall of Fame when Jerry told 184 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 2: me he wanted to get a job involved in personnel, 185 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: and I think if Jerry and Jimmy, I'm guessing more 186 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: than once had to remind him to check the contract. 187 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: And I'm guessing if Jerry had still been satisfied with 188 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: doing those old deals and stuff and left Jimmy coaching 189 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: no time, he's super bowls they could have won even 190 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: though the salary cap and free agency came in in 191 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: ninety three. But they had their Big three and they 192 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: had a way of They did a great job coaching. 193 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: I mean, Barry Switzer is the first to tell you, you know, 194 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: he took Jimmy's players and he won a super Bowl 195 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: with them. He always gave Jimmy credit for that, so 196 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: I he could I don't know how long you would 197 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: have coached. I'm guessing that if he and Jerry had 198 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: not clashed and he would have, you know, he might 199 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: have coached into double digits. 200 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: I always gave him credit for what he did with 201 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: the Dolphins too. He put together a really good defense 202 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: and Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, Patrick Sartan Senior, all those 203 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: Sam Madison, all those guys were Jimmy Johnson guys. They 204 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: built a hell of a team. They just couldn't replace 205 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback, which is difficult to do, but they couldn't 206 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: get that part of it. 207 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: You don't say finding your quarterback is very difficult in 208 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: this league. 209 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: But they went to the playoffs all the time. They 210 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: just couldn't get over the hump. Yeah, exactly, You're right. 211 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: He did a good job Miami, which made me think 212 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: about this. As we were talking about this last night, 213 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: we were watching a show on Netflix. I won't tell 214 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: you what the show is, but it was about the 215 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and at one point, somebody says Jerry 216 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: Jones or another asked a trivia question or a question 217 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: about what's the title for Jerry Jones, and one of 218 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: them says CEO and founder, And I was like, oh, no, 219 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: not the founder. And then when they say the real 220 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: answer and it includes general manager, my wife looks over 221 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: at me and goes, Jerry's the general manager, and I 222 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: was like, it's complicated, babe, Like it's complicated. I don't 223 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: really want to get in to that one. 224 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: Speaking of quarterbacks general I don't know that we've talked 225 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: about this. I can't remember because you may have been 226 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: on a trip when this actually finally happened. But Aaron 227 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: Rodgers has finally gotten himself into an NFL building, signing 228 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 3: with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Does it make a ripple because 229 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: it's Aaron Rodgers. Do you think it makes the Steelers 230 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: that much better with him taking over? We know how 231 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: well with the Jets didn't go well, Brett Farm didn't 232 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: go well in the year with the Jets, but then 233 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: the next year with the Vikis, they're really really good 234 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 3: and he was really good. Do you think Rogers can 235 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: come resurrect the final part of his career in Pittsburgh? 236 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: Well, they won ten games last year, didn't they. I 237 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: don't see them in that division winning more than ten games. Now. 238 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 2: Usually when you have major surgery, you guys know this. 239 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: It's the second year back when you're you find out 240 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: if you're all the way back mentally and physically. And 241 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: at the end of the year he played a lot 242 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: better than he did early. So I think Rogers is 243 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: going to play well. But I still don't see them 244 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: winning eleven games, or they might sneak in with a 245 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 2: wild card birth if they win ten, I think the 246 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: FC is going to be very balanced, and I think 247 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: he'll make He'll make them a better offense. Obviously, Now 248 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: whether they'll be better on defense, or with Nazierra's gone, 249 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 2: if the running game would be as good. Yes, they 250 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: traded for DK Metcalf, but he's going to get doubled 251 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: all over the field. And had they kept George Pickins 252 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 2: and understand why they didn't because he was a royal 253 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: paint in the bud, but either he or Metcalf wasn't 254 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: going to get doubles. So I think they can win 255 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: ten games with Rogers, just like they did last year. 256 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: But I do not see them being a Super Bowl 257 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: contender general. 258 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: The Texans played the entire AFC West and we're all 259 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: celebrating what happened to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, 260 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: except for Kansas City fans, of course. But they won 261 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: fifteen games in the regular season. We know they won 262 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: a lot of close games, but they won them fifteen 263 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: to two. My goodness. Who's the bigger threat to them 264 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: in that division? The Chargers or the Broncos. The Raiders 265 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: finished last. I think they'll be better. I've said that before, 266 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: but Broncos Chargers bigger threat to the Chiefs, which one. 267 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: You would have to say the Broncos because they had 268 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: a great defense led to the league in sacks. They 269 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: did a this job of coaching that defense, and Bo 270 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: Nicks has got to be better in his second season, 271 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: and he was really good in the first. And they've 272 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: tried to add some weapons and improve the offensive line. 273 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: So I would say them, you know, it's hard for 274 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: me to save the Chargers because last time I saw 275 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: the Chargers they were getting annihilated by the Texans at 276 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: NRG Stadium. So I'm going to say Denver with the 277 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: Chargers next. And the thing about the Chiefs, over the 278 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: last thirty years, only one Super Bowl loser's gone back, 279 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: and that was the Patriots. So the odds are the 280 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: Chiefs are not going back to the Super Bowl, which 281 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: to me means it be a Lamar Jackson Josh Allen 282 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: competition to go to the Super Bowl and see which 283 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: one went first. But I don't see Kansas City would 284 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: be a threat, of course, but look at what happened 285 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: to the forty nine Ers last year. It's just a 286 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: litany of teams for whatever reason. When they lose the 287 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, they should be the hungriest team in sports, 288 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: but they're not. They have a Super Bowl losing hangover, 289 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: and it'd be nice to see that happen to the 290 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: Chiefs because the Texans of course have to play them again. 291 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,119 Speaker 1: I think what's fascinating. 292 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: We talked about this for a while, and part of 293 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 3: it is because of the quarterbacks in the AFC, But 294 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: we talk about what a gauntlet the AFC is, right, 295 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, Mahomes Lamar Josh. And yet since twenty nineteen, 296 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: the only team other than the Chiefs that's gotten to 297 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl one time is the Bengals. 298 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: And yet we talk about how great the AFC is. 299 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: You think of the AFC. 300 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: Was that good that somebody would knock off the damn Chiefs? 301 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: And I don't know, maybe it starts this year, but 302 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: it's like, oh, the AFC is a gauntlet. O. Chiefs 303 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: are the only one that a has won a Super 304 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: Bowl and be the Bengals the only other team that's 305 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: gotten there one time. I don't know, It's just kind 306 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: of fascinating way think about it. But you mentioned Justin 307 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 3: Herbert general and it's list season, so a lot of 308 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 3: people have been put out lists, and it's mind blowing 309 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 3: in some sense to see Justin Herbert ranked so high, 310 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: especially how he finished the season in the playoffs for 311 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: the second consecutive playoff game for him. As Mark said 312 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 3: the other day, he had one good half and he said, 313 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: three lousy halves of playoff football. And yet he's consistently 314 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: ranked as number five, number six, number seven when you 315 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 3: start ranking the quarterbacks. So I'll ask you and Mark 316 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: the same question. You got to go win one game, 317 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 3: the biggest game you're playing. Are you taking Justin Herbert 318 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 3: or a healthy Dak Prescott? 319 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm taking Justin just Well, boy, that's a tough one, 320 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: and I'm proud of that one has won a lot 321 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 2: of big regular season games. And Herbert, of course, he 322 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: was in the playoffs. But you know, I think we've 323 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: seen him two times against the Tech since at NRG 324 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 2: Stadium and it wasn't his fault, but the Texans waylaid 325 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 2: them both times. And so I'm going with Dak Prescott. 326 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: Okay. I that's a tough one, Shoe, Yeah, it is tough. 327 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: And that's a really difficult one. Great question. I can 328 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: I pick neither guy, I'm Cooper Rush, Cooper Rush, No, 329 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: you can't take Taylor Heineke. You got to pick one 330 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: to win one game, biggest game of the year. Dak Prescott, healthy, 331 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: I think I've taken Dak Herbert. I think Dax made 332 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: enough mistakes in the postseason to understand what to avoid. 333 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: Whether he avoids those things remains to be seen. They're 334 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: late games, what playoff? Was it? The late game situation 335 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: where they didn't spot the ball properly and couldn't get 336 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: the ball snapped. 337 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: That was the forty nine ers, wasn't. 338 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: It against the Yeah, that in a regular season situation 339 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: is inexcusable, and it would dominate talk for a week, 340 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: but you end your season on that. Hopefully for him 341 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: they learned from it. For us, I hope they never 342 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: learned from it, of course, general a lot of talk 343 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: about the Texans building a practice facility. Stories in the Chronicle, 344 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: Mike Toman, the president of the Texans, giving some information 345 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: and I guess it's anybody's guess where it's really ultimately 346 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: going to be. But you tell me this because this 347 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: one was thrown at me when I was out and about, Hey, 348 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: what did the Oilers do? Where did they practice? We 349 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: all know they played in the Astrodome. Where did the 350 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Oilers practice? And I know this is ancient history really 351 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: because when the Texans emerged, they built everything within the 352 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: stadium within the grounds of NRG Park. Hey see, I 353 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: got it all figured out. We're gonna have white locker 354 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: year round. But anyway, what did the oilers do when 355 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: they existed back in the day. 356 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: Let me say Charlie casually did not want to practice 357 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: at the stadium because he said he didn't want free 358 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: agents coming in their march and smelling horse. 359 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: You know what. 360 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: But as Bob to, if we pay them, they'll come, 361 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: And so they had it, had it there for convenience purposes. 362 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: And then a couple of years before Bob died, he 363 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: and Cow were going around looking for a spot and 364 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: they were going I think the horse track, the dog track. 365 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 2: Different counties wanted them. And I pointed out, began to 366 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: buy a helicopter because it doesn't take you a long 367 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: time to fight traffic to get out to where your 368 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 2: new facility is going to be, wherever it is. And 369 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: of course they got it worked out. I'd always hope 370 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: that they could do build one over there on that 371 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: third field, the fathers from Kirby. But the way the 372 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: oilers had it when I started covering them, they had 373 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: this little dump on the corner of Braiswood and Fenning 374 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: and I think there's still an oil Derek over there. 375 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: It's a parking lot. And they had like a one 376 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 2: bench press, a few dumbbells and that was it. And 377 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: they practiced and they ran and they sweated, and then 378 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty two they moved into what they thought 379 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 2: was the taj Mahal over on Holly Hall, close to 380 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: the Dome. And if you saw it now it belongs 381 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: to some politician uses it as an office. But if 382 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: you saw it, you'd go, my god, the oiler's practice there. 383 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: There was a dump but and it was compared to 384 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: when all the others started to get nicer ones. So 385 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: they were close and convenient, but boy, those facilities were 386 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 2: not very good, and Bud Adams wanted him to be 387 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 2: close to where he lived in River Oaks, even though 388 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: he only came to practice maybe once a year. 389 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: Hey, you said, we're still once a year. That's another 390 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: one I want to get into. Holy are you serious? 391 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: Only once a year. 392 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: No, he didn't come to practice. He would come to 393 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: training camp once a year for this State of the Oilers. 394 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 2: One time he came and he was so proud of 395 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: the way he looked. He was wearing lime green shorts 396 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: came down to his knees, black socks had pulled up 397 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: to his knees, and he was wearing a pith helmet 398 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: with a fan in it. That's tons of writing that 399 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: he looked like a bad extra from a White five. Oh, 400 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: and he thought he looked great, and so he came 401 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: out and he addressed the players as he did every year. 402 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: But we never saw Bud at practice at all. 403 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: Pith helmet with a fan in it sounds like a 404 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: good hack, I think, Johnny, Yeah, this sounds like a 405 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: very good hack. Could work for me. 406 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 3: Hey, General, yesterday, earlier in the day, and I said yesterday, 407 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 3: I mean wednesday, we saw news that a Jacksonville real 408 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: estate developer was buying apparently the Tampa Bay Rays one 409 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: point seven billion. I thought, okay, it's it's a little low, 410 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 3: I think, but way low happened later in the Well, 411 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 3: that's where I'm getting to. Then, the Lakers are sold 412 00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 3: for ten billion, ten billion dollars to Dodgers majority owner 413 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 3: Mark Walter. What do you think that does to NFL franchises? 414 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 3: The last one that was sold was Commanders to Josh Harris, 415 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: I think was six billion. What do you think that 416 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 3: does just the Lakers for ten billion being sold, what 417 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 3: do you think that does the NFL franchise. 418 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: Values on First John on Jacksonville in the Rays, they 419 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: don't have a stadium. So that's why that seemed low. 420 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: That guy's gonna have to come up find a stadium, 421 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: whether it's in Tampa or Saint Pete, whether the politicians 422 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 2: approve it, or he's gonna have to build it. But 423 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 2: he didn't have a home. And I think this about 424 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 2: the Lakers. The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in 425 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: professional sports according to Forbes, and that includes all the 426 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: big soccer teams in Europe. So at the Lakers and 427 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 2: Jeannie Bust and her family retained seventeen percent, and I 428 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: believe that Walter owned twenty one percent as it was. 429 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: And so can you imagine what Jerry would get for 430 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: the Cowboys right now? Because the Knicks are valued higher 431 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: by Forbes than the Lakers. And I don't know James 432 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: Dolan is ever going to sell or leave it to 433 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 2: his family. And it's the NFL has a rule no 434 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 2: foreign ownership, NBA and Baseball does not, So at some point, 435 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 2: you know, say the saudis called up an owner and 436 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 2: said we'll give you fifty billion for your franchise. All 437 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: of a sudden, the NFL is going to be rewriting 438 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 2: that by law so you can get foreign investment, because 439 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: there's no end to where it goes. I think everybody 440 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: is shocked by the ten billion figure, and every NFL 441 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: owner has got to be rubbing his hands together and 442 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 2: lee over that deal. 443 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: For the Lakers, why did the previous owners of the 444 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: race call up the Saudis and say, hey, you know what, 445 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: all these live golfers, nobody cares get a Major League 446 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: Baseball franchise. All you have to do is park a 447 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: couple of billions here for a stadium and you're good 448 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: to go. 449 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: How that would have been a very smart thing to 450 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: do if they wanted a franchise in Tampa or Saint Pete. 451 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's no other market. Obviously, Vegas will have 452 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: the A's. I don't think you can go anywhere else. 453 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: You can't do baseball in San Antonio, right, I mean, 454 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. 455 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: They're talking about the next the Nashville and nash Charlotte, Yes, 456 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: would be the next two franchises, and they're prepared. They 457 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: have a baseball group in Nashville for the last three 458 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 2: years to have everything ready to go for when baseball expans. 459 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait to see how all this stuff 460 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: shakes out. And I also can't wait to see where 461 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: the practice facility is going to be. News should come 462 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: out soon, well allegedly soon. Yeah, this will be really interesting, 463 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: really interesting to see how the Texans handle this one, 464 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: how it's handled with the Texans and their partners, and 465 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: what ultimately transpires. All right, general, we're in the middle 466 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: of the desert, and we asked Jonathan this, We asked 467 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: john this. I answer the question, how you feeling? How 468 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: you feeling about the season? We're done with many camp. 469 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: It's in the rear view mirror. We got a long 470 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: way to go till training camp. But it's going to 471 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: happen before you know it. And when everyone's asking you 472 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: how are you feeling about the Texans, you answer the question. 473 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: Go People ask me that every day and I say, 474 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 2: I can't wait for training camp. I wish it was tomorrow. 475 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: And they have a super Bowl caliber defense, and until 476 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: they figure out the offensive line, they won't have a 477 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: super Bowl caliber offense. I've got a lot of confidence 478 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: in the wide receivers. I think they should run away 479 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: with the AFC South again. Don't think anybody's even close 480 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: to them. I think they'll hope that they I don't 481 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: think they'll get a bye, but they'll win a first 482 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 2: round game. And the thing I want to see, and 483 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: I know you guys do too, is for the first 484 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 2: time since the franchise was born, get beyond the divisional 485 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 2: round of the playoffs, hopefully hosting an AFC championship game here. 486 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: But I don't think the Texans are up there with 487 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: Baltimore and Buffalo and Kansas City yet. It may take 488 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 2: another off season, but there's certainly good enough to run 489 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 2: away with AFC South. And if you do that in 490 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: the offensive line is even just mediocre, it'll be such 491 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 2: an improvement over last season. 492 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: Great stuff general, as always, thanks so much for being 493 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: with us. 494 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: Thank you guys very much for having me on this 495 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: lovely Thursday night. 496 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we'll do a who's Better with coaches. 497 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: Johnny is going to be on the spot, so we'll 498 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: find out what he has to say about the questions 499 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: I throw at him, and you can play along at home. 500 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio.

Yeah, I told you 504 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: yesterday I said, don't do that, but I'm doing it 505 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: now because we're over a month. But it's gonna dial 506 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: down pretty quickly. 507 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: Hey, we saw the news yesterday that both rookies and 508 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: vet's going to report on July twenty second. Now, I 509 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: don't know what that means as far as dates yet. 510 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: Of training camp, but if they're reporting on a twenty second, 511 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: if that's official. Yeah, yeah, the NFL reported that yesterday. 512 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: I think you practiced the day after your report to 513 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: start practicing. Now practice as we saw last year, these 514 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: days it's different. It's an abbreviated ramp up practice the 515 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: first two to three days, and then you get the 516 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: real heavy stuff. So I think they'll stick their feet 517 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: in the water, their toes, maybe more than the toe, 518 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: the feet up to the ankle, maybe the knees, and 519 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: then they'll get it going in pads four or five 520 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: days in right, that's what they've done the last couple 521 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: of years. 522 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 3: Like everybody, Oh, you got to have I think the 523 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 3: rule is three day you have to have three days. 524 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: But I think I remember correctly. The last couple of years, 525 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: we think pads are coming on day four. 526 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: They don't. Yeah, it's day five. 527 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 3: So they go a full four days in out of 528 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: pads and then put the pads on day five, if 529 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: I remember correctly. So we'll see, we'll see what the 530 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: what the case is, just got to get this get 531 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: this team ready and stay healthy. We just there's a 532 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: document that our preseason TV crew has got going around 533 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: Dave Keeney, our producer, with Kevin and d and myself 534 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 3: and then Shelby Coppage and it's like, hey, put in 535 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 3: all the storylines, and so David fed it with a 536 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: bunch of storylines. 537 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at. 538 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: All of them like, oh man, it's getting me excited, 539 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: so excited about the season, so excited about the preseason 540 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: games and just seeing these guys and pads, seeing how 541 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 3: the offensive line comes together, how it gels. I think 542 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 3: one of the biggest pieces Mark that I have been 543 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 3: really excited about just hearing a lot guys and six 544 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: been playing the sound of Titus Howard talking about the 545 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: offensive line and moving over to guard and you know, 546 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: what I said at the end of last year. I 547 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 3: think I think he played really well at guard, Like 548 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 3: I think he can be a very good guard. But 549 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 3: I think to be able to do that, I think 550 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 3: you had he has to make the step of accepting 551 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: that that role, and it feels like he's more accepting 552 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 3: of it now than ever before. 553 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: And I think if that is one thing, because. 554 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 3: We got tackle bodies for days seemingly now obviously, get 555 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: a guy hurt here and a guy tweaks a hamstring there, 556 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, Okay, that depth can go 557 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: up and smoke it a little bit, but you feel 558 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: like you got a lot of tackle bodies, and those 559 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: the tackle positions will end up getting filled and I 560 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: think ably filled. 561 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: But if you can just lock in one of those 562 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: guard spots right now, Titus at right guard, seemingly, if 563 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 1: you could just lock in that right guard spot and 564 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: just go, yeah, we know that's going to be a 565 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: good spot for us because Titus is there and Titus 566 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: is going to play well. Just think about how that 567 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: changes everything on the offensive line. 568 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, knowing that's going to happen at that guard spot 569 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: where you struggled. 570 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: The last few years, Well, you know he's gonna play 571 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: one of them, Ronald Yeah. Yeah, and they've got enough 572 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: guys to fill in. I hate to use that term, 573 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: but to play tackle. Blake Fisher, right, he can play 574 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: right tackle, Cam Robinson Earth. We got a lot of 575 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: reps and the OTA sessions. Now these are without pads, obviously, 576 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: but good to see a rookie out there getting a 577 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: lot of business in the OTA time of year with 578 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: Mini camp. All right, let's do this who's Better Coaches version? 579 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Oh boy, we're not going to mention every coach in 580 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: NFL history. It's funny because I stumbled on this list 581 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: and this could really sidetrack us. But oh no, I won't. 582 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: I won't spend too much time. ESPN ranks the top 583 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: twenty coaches of all time, and it's nothing to do 584 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: with in the NFL. Yes, with the victory lists that 585 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't include college on these lists. I know college 586 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: coaches are great. There's so many great college coaches. However, 587 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: when you can go out and just get guys, yeah 588 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: I need a left tackle, get me three of them, 589 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, get me four quarterbacks. I know it's different 590 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: now with nil it's a lot harder than it was. Sure, 591 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: but when you can go do that, when you choose, 592 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: it's a different landscape. It's almost a different sport that way, 593 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: when you can just go get players to fortify your 594 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: roster as opposed to the NFL. Well, you can get 595 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: guys too in free agency, but your limited salary cap. 596 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: You all know how it works. I don't have to 597 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: explain this to you. Vince Lombardi's their number one, Bill 598 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: Walsh number two, Don Shula number three. So this list 599 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: is NFL coaches, NFL coaches. Okay, yeah, oh we can 600 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,719 Speaker 1: so Vince won, Vince one, which is great, all right, 601 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: Good for Vince Lombard. Bill Walsh because he was such 602 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: a patriarch of the offensive side of the football, that 603 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: innovation and then taking that and winning with it. He 604 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: wrote that book, the book that all the coaches read, 605 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: The coach. Yeah, they all love it. Paul Brown was six, 606 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: but who'd you say was three? Don Schula, he's the 607 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: whole time winner. Okay, yeah. Belichick Belichick seven, Yeah, I know, Okay, 608 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: I bet I understand, I bet I can write that paragraph. 609 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: We put Bill Belichick at number seven because we feel 610 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: like his success was predicated on Tom Brady. 611 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: More so than maybe Belichick as a coach. I bet 612 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: that's what it is. Yeah, probably because before him he 613 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: has the three that I mentioned. Then George hallis Chuck Nole. 614 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't put Chuck Nolle in front of Bill Belichick, 615 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: no way, know how, no day of the week. All 616 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: these guys are excellent. Okay, so nobody sucks, but Belichick 617 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: deserves to be in front of Chuck Noll. Paul Brown, 618 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: I get it because he won championships in that other 619 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: league before joining the NFL. He was great in the NFL. 620 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: He was he was an offensive patriarch. He was the 621 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: Bill Walsh of the forties and fifties. Yeah, Bill Walsh 622 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: coached under him and got a lot of stuff for him. 623 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: So I might put Paul Brown higher. I'm not go Lombardi, 624 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: Paul Brown, Bill Walsh. Yeah, maybe I think Paul Brown. 625 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: You know he'd begat Yeah, Bill Walsh, Yes, So maybe 626 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: he put him in front. Landry is eighth on this list. 627 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs ninth. Joe Gibbs is an underrated underrated completely 628 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: on these lists, my god, completely under They go back 629 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: to Curly Lambeau. I can't. Yeah, it's such a different era. 630 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: He's great founded the Green Bay Packers, coach them, he 631 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: and George Hallis. It's like they deserve their own category. Yeah, 632 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 1: it's tough to put them in there. 633 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 3: I mean modern modern football relatively speaking, and those eras 634 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 3: that they were coaching in. 635 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the. 636 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 3: Forward pass was still i would say in its infantile stages, 637 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 3: but it still was in its infantile stages. 638 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: Really, But to me on that, on that list, I 639 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: feel like. 640 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 3: Asking the question the right way of asking this, what 641 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 3: did you bring from an innovation standpoint to the game. 642 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: How did you change the game? How did you change 643 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: the game? 644 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 3: And I think about Joe Gibbs and Joe Gibbs with 645 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 3: the artists formerly noticed the Redskins. He won super Bowls 646 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 3: with three different quarterbacks, first of all art styles. Yeah, 647 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 3: like Chuck Nol went everyone with the with Terry Bradshaw, 648 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 3: you have the same team, right, But Chuck Chuck Noll 649 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 3: also incorporated and obviously had defensive coordinators that ran a 650 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 3: different type of defensive system that his guys were were 651 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: great with. But Paul Brown basically invented watching film. He 652 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 3: invented the coach comp system in a helmet, you know, 653 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 3: he won with with Jim Brown, and then Jim retires 654 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: and they Graham Otto Graham. He wins with automatic auto. 655 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 3: He has, you know, his guards, Chuck don Shula, I 656 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 3: think being one of them running plays in and out 657 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 3: of the huddle. Maybe Chuck Nole running plays in and 658 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 3: out of the huddle. Joe Gibbs when he's with the Redskins, 659 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 3: he invents the one back offense because he couldn't block 660 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 3: Lawrence Taylor. Now, sometimes some of these innovations are born 661 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 3: out of we got to figure that out. 662 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: Well, that's necessity. Necessity is the mother of invention, right, 663 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: and so, but he still he came up with the 664 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: one back offense. Yeah, good for him. And he also 665 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: coached under Don Coriel, who was an offensive innovator. Right, 666 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: So there's some stuff there. Now. Parcels is eleventh on 667 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: this list. I'll read you the rest of the names. 668 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: You tell me if any one of these guys deserves 669 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 1: to be ahead of Parcels. Parcells, who won two Super 670 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: Bowls with the Giants, turned around multiple franchises. I give 671 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: him a lot of credit for turning around the Patriots, 672 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: the Jets, Jets, the Cowboys. I mean, he really brought 673 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: each of those three from the dull drums, from the 674 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: abyss to the postseason. All right, John Madden, I think 675 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: Parcells is in front of him. Yes, Chrs. Johnson is 676 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: a tough one. I mean, he built the new Dallas Cowboys. 677 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 3: I think what you said about Parcels, though, is the 678 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 3: fact that Parcells did it in a number of different locations. 679 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: Now we talked about we talked about Jimmy Johnson and Jimmy. 680 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy did a decent job with Miami. But I mean, 681 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy built that thing. 682 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 3: In Dallas, but you could say Parcels built the thing 683 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 3: in New York. 684 00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: He was almost fired and Cardinals with two different quarterback, 685 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: which you're right, you kind of get a plus for that. 686 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: And you know, again, everybody's put Jimmy in front of Madden. Okay, 687 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: you'd put Jimmy. Put Jimmy in front of Masters. One 688 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: super Bowl, Tom Coughlin, I'm not putting in front of Parcels. No, 689 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: He's got two Super Bowl wins, he built the Jags. 690 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: Two AFC Championship Game appearance is very nice. 691 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: I'm glad to have him ranked on this because I 692 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 3: think Coughlin is he goes to that underrated stage. Joe 693 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 3: Gibbs too left off a lot of times, because when 694 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 3: you think about Tom Kauflin, it's the first thing you're 695 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 3: thinking about. Fifteen minutes early is not on time? 696 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: Is on time? On time is fifteen minutes late time? 697 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: You know. So you think about those kind of things 698 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: with Coaughlin and you forget. Damn he had two runs 699 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl with the Giants after almost nearly 700 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: getting fired in two thousand and seven. They turned that 701 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: thing around. He wins two super Bowls with that organization, 702 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: so I think it's awful for good. 703 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 3: And then what he did with the Jaguars, you know, 704 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 3: building that from scratch essentially. So I'm glad Coughlin's mentioned that, 705 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 3: But I can't put in front of parcels. 706 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: But Grant Hankstram, he might deserve to be higher on 707 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: this list. Marv Levy Grant Levy each lost four Super Bowls, 708 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: but they got there. They're awesome. Sid Gilman, Sid Gilman 709 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: who coached the Oilers for a bit, Yeah, coach the 710 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: Chargers back in the day. 711 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 3: That's more the AFL kind of innovation, like bringing the 712 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 3: passing game in vogue, you know at Lance allwork. 713 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: John Haden was a quarterback. They were doing Dog Coriel 714 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: like things out in San Diego with that group before 715 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: Coriel really made it famous. Yeah, this list does not 716 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: include anybody who's active. Let me check. So I guess 717 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: these are inactive guys. You know. I think that's their angle, 718 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: because who could you include. I mean, obviously Belichick is 719 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: now inactive. As far as the NFL goes, Mike Shanahan's 720 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: on the list. Wow. Oh, two super Bowl wins went 721 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: to three others, very different teams, same quarterback. Tony Dungee 722 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: wins one super Bowl doesn't even go to the other 723 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: because that was Jim Caldwell with the Colts. He built 724 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: the Bucks out of nothing. I mean, John McKay did 725 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: nice things with them, but then they submerge and he 726 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: brings them back. So that's good. He's the twentieth guy 727 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: in the list. Anyway, that's their top twenty list. But 728 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: I want to go to some current guys, Johnny, and 729 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna settle this once and for all. Who's better Boo, 730 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll or John Harbaugh? Who's better? Pete Carroll? Now, 731 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: hear me out, hear me out, can make a case 732 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: for both. John Harball has had Lamar Jackson and he's 733 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: had the top seed twice yep, and he's got one 734 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: playoff win combined. The both times he's had the top 735 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: seed with Lamar Jackson, he got off to a great start. 736 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 1: Joe Flackow and he five consecutive playoff appearances, a playoff 737 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: win in each of those appearances, wins the super Bowl 738 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twelve. Since the Super Bowl win in twenty twelve, 739 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: he's got four playoff wins total. He's got Lamar Jackson, 740 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been able to get back to the 741 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: super Bowl. So all of these guys have flaws. Pete 742 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: Carroll has eight playoff victories since he won the Super Bowl. 743 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: Think about that. Since he won the Super Bowl. You 744 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: and I talk about Seattle a lot, how they're very 745 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: overlooked franchise, and I think this plays into that. Now. 746 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 1: I know the last five six years weren't as good, 747 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: but they were still competitive, still making the postseason, and 748 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: they were nine to eight when he got shown the 749 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: door in Seattle. How about that? Who's better? 750 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 3: Here's the other thing too, about Pete Carroll and our 751 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 3: buddy Teddy Johnson would remind US. Carrol was fired in 752 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,359 Speaker 3: both New York and New England before he got it 753 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 3: going at USC, which then. 754 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: Brought him back to Seattle at USC. So there's a 755 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: part of me that just thinks, Okay, look at Seattle, 756 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, look at Ravens, John Harbaugh. I mean, both 757 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: of them. Man, it's tough one, isn't it. At Calton 758 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: it's a very very good one. I think Carol does 759 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: not get enough credit. I think that's my an. 760 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna end up going with Harbaugh and I but 761 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 3: I mean that's picking niche right there, because there are 762 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 3: things I like about Carol, but I think it's gonna 763 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,439 Speaker 3: sound weird. I think pekeets a little stubborn sometimes about 764 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 3: how he does things, which I know a lot of 765 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 3: great coaches do. I think that John Harbaugh is a 766 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 3: little bit more meliable. Like I remember, ironically, it's the 767 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 3: game in twenty nineteen out in Seattle against Carol's team 768 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 3: where it's fourth and something. It's kind of raining, kind 769 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 3: of miserable, and they were gonna kick a field goal and. 770 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 1: Lamar got mad. 771 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 3: Mars Storm starts to storm off the field, and Harball 772 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 3: looks at him and was like you want to go 773 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,439 Speaker 3: for this to He's like bleep, yeah, and he grab 774 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 3: grabs him as he goes by. He goes, Okay, we're 775 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 3: going for this. Put him back out on the field. 776 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 3: Lamar Randall zone reed, ran in the end zone. 777 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: They win it again. 778 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 3: I think that John Harbaugh's is a little bit more adaptable. Yeah, 779 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 3: And I think that's why I would give him a 780 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 3: little bit of the edge. You get a Super Bowl 781 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 3: from John Harbaugh, it goes way over the edge. But 782 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 3: I think that's the one thing I'll give him a 783 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 3: little bit more credit. Thing Pete can be a little stubborn. 784 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 3: I think John's a little. 785 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: Bit more adaptable with things He's adapted with He's adapted 786 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: with Lamar as his quarterback, who is not the. 787 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 3: Traditional pocket guy, right. I mean, Pete did that with 788 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson. But I'm gonna give it to Harball just 789 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 3: just barely, just barely. 790 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: Everybody who coaches in the AFC in this era has 791 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: had to deal with Belichick and now Andy Reid in 792 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City, so that's been tough. Harball has had to 793 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: go through the Patriots. It's kind of like what I 794 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: say about the Rockets having to go through Golden State. 795 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: You know, I mean really difficult, right, So that makes 796 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: it hurt. And now you've got Kansas City to deal with. 797 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: Now you're not as good as them. But it is 798 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: what it is, right, Irony doesn't mean you're bad. Irony 799 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: is for the Ravens, though the Chiefs only beat them 800 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: once in the playoffs when you're time. But I still 801 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: think when you're two years it was the bill, the 802 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: top seed status, stuff like that, Patriots, all that stuff. 803 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: All right, who's better? Sean Payton? O't boy, we're running 804 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: out of show. Sean Payton or Mike Tomlin. Sean Payton, 805 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, hang on, let me just paint the picture here. 806 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: I know you're just winning the super Bowl. He's won 807 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: five playoff games, all in New Orleans. Since winning the 808 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he's had some losing seasons mixed in there 809 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: with That's right, three years that they went to the 810 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: Green Barer. Three straight losing seasons. Exactly. We know that 811 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: because it's just so easy for us. Tomlin's only won 812 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 1: three playoff games in the last what ten to twelve years? Yes, 813 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 1: so there's that. However, Tomlin goes to the playoffs with 814 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. He goes to the playoffs with the exhumed 815 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: body of Russell Wilson, who Peyton could not get to 816 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs with. But I know he was just getting 817 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 1: started in Denver at me on this and last year 818 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: Peyton coached up bow Nicks. I think they're very similar. 819 00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: I think all these guys have a lot of similarity. 820 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: Very all want super Bowls a long time ago. They 821 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: all in some ways get more credit than they deserve. 822 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,399 Speaker 1: In other ways, maybe we're not appreciating them enough. 823 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 3: I am not answering quickly because oh, it's definitive this 824 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 3: guy with that guy. I'm answering because dead radio is 825 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 3: the worst thing that can be in your ears as 826 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 3: a radio guy. You I hate dead radio. So this 827 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 3: is they're going hm hm huh. So I'm picking. But 828 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 3: what stands out As soon as you said that, the 829 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 3: first thing that stood out to me was Peyton took 830 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 3: over a Broncos team that was miserable. Yeah, and in 831 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three he didn't get him into playoffs, but 832 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 3: they want some games. 833 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: You look around and go, okay. 834 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 3: The next year they take a rookie, he takes a 835 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. They get in the playoffs. Now they don't win, 836 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,840 Speaker 3: but they get in the playoff. 837 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback that a lot of people did not have 838 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 1: a lot of fakes. I feel like Tomlin lately, it's 839 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: been underachievements. But he's good. He's good. Oh I would 840 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: I love me by Tomlin? Yeah? But why are they 841 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: not more successful? Instory? They have not been able to 842 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: replace the quarterback. It's kind of like what we talked 843 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: about with the old Dolphins. I agree. If they still 844 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: had mid career Roethlisberger there, they would have won at 845 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: least a playoff game or two in a few years, 846 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: I would think. Or one of these two appears when 847 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: they had a great team, they had won thirteen straight. 848 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, they get knocked off by the Jags 849 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Yeah, but don't underestimate the Jags. Every ten years, 850 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: so Johnny, every ten years. All right, coming up, something 851 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: happened in broadcasting that is going to change broadcasting. We'll 852 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: tell you what it is next here. It affects the 853 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 1: NFL and the Texans and everybody. It's Texans Radio. We 854 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: are running out of show, so let's get to this. 855 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: For the first time, streaming viewership collectively has overtaken broadcast viewership. 856 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: It's done. It's here. We all knew it was coming, 857 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 1: but it has happened. The networks, So that's linear TV 858 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: or traditional channels, however you consume them, they are taking 859 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: a backseat to all of streaming collectively. Now streaming is 860 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: very fragmented, right, Johnny. Yeah, you got Netflix, you got Paramount, 861 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: Paramount and Peacock. They have so such a small slice 862 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: of the audience it would freak people out. Yeah, And 863 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: as far as growth, Netflix is down a little bit, 864 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: but it's still such a healthy part of the segment. 865 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: YouTube way up because YouTube is free and now people 866 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: on their flat screens are watching a whole ton of 867 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: stuff that they enjoy. But this affects the NFL because 868 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty nine, after that season, they can opt 869 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 1: out of their current deals and go as much streaming 870 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: as they want to go, and people will back up 871 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: the Brinks truck for them. Netflix. It'll happen absolutely, And 872 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say it this way, but 873 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: in four years there's gonna be a significant portion of 874 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: the watching audience that unfortunately perishes and you've got just 875 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: more younger people. 876 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 3: How do younger people do things now. They don't mind 877 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 3: do it on their phone, they do it on their iPads. 878 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 3: They they're fine with streaming and finding it. 879 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: That's how younger kids expect to find things nowadays. Well 880 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: I can find it, where can I stream it? My kid? So, 881 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: my nineteen year old watches the NBA in highlight form 882 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: as the games are happening. Oh, Dad, you see this 883 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: in the first quarter of the Rockets game, you know, 884 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 1: And it's probably in the third quarter already, but he's 885 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,320 Speaker 1: not watching it, you know now, sometimes busy school, whatever. 886 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: But it applies to the NBA playoffs, you know, as 887 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: the Rockets got knocked out in the first round. Watching 888 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the games, I tend but I've always 889 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 1: done this. I tend to jump into games with teams 890 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: that I don't have a dog in the fight. Games 891 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,760 Speaker 1: like that, I tend to jump in seven eight minutes 892 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: to go. I want to see how they executes finish. 893 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 1: I don't need to see the first quarter of a 894 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: game I don't care about, but I do care when 895 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,399 Speaker 1: it gets deep. That's the beauty of the NFL, though. 896 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: The first quarter is so meaningful. Somebody drives down the 897 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 1: field and punches it in for a touchdown. That means 898 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 1: a lot. Now later in the game, that might not 899 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,319 Speaker 1: be the winning margin, of course, but it really that 900 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: tips the scale mightily, and now it needs to tip back. NBA, 901 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: somebody has a ten to fifteen point lead, even it 902 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that much. Yeah. One of the things that 903 00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: YouTube TV does a brilliant job of is you can 904 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,320 Speaker 1: if you're recording that game, and this is for a 905 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: lot of college games. 906 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 3: I just have all college football games. If I want 907 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 3: to go with that game and I'm already two hours 908 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 3: in or whatever it might be, they show me. 909 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: Join live or watch the big play, watch the key play. 910 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 1: Amazon does that on Thursday nights right from the NFL. 911 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 3: So just I just watch the key plays and then 912 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 3: they take you from those key plays right to what's 913 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 3: going on live and you feel like you haven't really missing. 914 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,320 Speaker 1: I just hate the spinning circle of death when I'm streaming. 915 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: Everybody does. It's just one of those oh yeah, of life. 916 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely something you're gonna have to deal with. 917 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 3: But you just think about younger people and how they 918 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 3: consume product, and that is exactly how you do it. 919 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: All Right, we have the general on the show tonight. 920 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: This will be in podcast form soon enough.
