1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bill's quick cast. You be

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: doing the ads and gard get the sacks back at

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line touchdown. Just stand, rock and roll,

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: Traylan coast to coast. There is no off season for

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. Game day is every day. No, it's

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Texans all excess. Hello Texans did welcome to the program

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: as we rock on through training camp. Day off today,

00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: but they'll be back on tomorrow. We'll be back on

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: the field the Houston Methodist Training Center eight am. Sharpshan

00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: e s. They're gonna be there from six to eight

00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: eight am. We'll have Greg Grissom on, the president of

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: your Texans, right out of the gate in the program,

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: and plus plenty of other stuff, including our guest tonight

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: because it's Thursday and this is what we do on Thursday.

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: John McClean. Good evening, General. How's it going. It's going

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: great as always. How are you guys? Great? It's wonderful

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: to follow the league this time of year. General, there's

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: so many stories. I love following, even the little things

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: from other camps that often don't get picked up or

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: don't get talked about on the national scale because maybe

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: it's not the proper amount of clickbait. But I do

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: like following these stories, and we will talk about Texans

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: opponents tonight and a little bit more about the AFC

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: South and Gee, it's like we never talk anymore, John,

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: even though we're on the air every day at this

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: time of year. And it's a wonderful thing because that

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: means games are approaching. Cannot wait for that. But General

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: obviously a big story today that the NFL is going

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to appeal this suspension that was handed down by Judge

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Sue L. Robinson. Your thoughts on where it's headed, as

32
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: I know, we have somebody appointed to hear the appeal

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: or at least take it into consideration, because there is

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: no hearing. I don't hear General, Do I hear? John Harris? Yes,

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I am here. I hear you, Mark, I don't. We

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: had the General there for a second because he was

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: very happy to join us for the I'm back there

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: he is. He's back announcing his presence with authority exactly

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: about that, Okay, So you know that was the question

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you were asking when I got suspension appeal. Your thoughts

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: and the fact that somebody's been appointed to take it

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: into consideration and make a ruling. Do you ever mention

43
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the name Deshaun Watson. I try not to. I can't remember.

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: It's like he is to say that about Andrew Luck.

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: You wouldn't mention Andrew Luck's name for different reasons when

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: I was encouraging him to retire, and he eventually did,

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: and he did retire well. First of all, Peter Harvey,

48
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: the former attorney general from New Jersey who has worked

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: with the NFL before, he's going to oversee the appeal,

50
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: and everybody assumes that he will make it much more significant.

51
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: The league wanted a season and an indefinite if at

52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: least a year, and also an eight million dollars fine,

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: and so they could still negotiate a settlement. I could

54
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: see them, say in twelve games and a fine, because

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: if not, they're going to go to federal court, and

56
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: that's going to take a long time before the federal

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: court system finally says, hey, you're negotiated a collective bargaining agreement.

58
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: You got to stick with a collective bargaining agreement. And

59
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: then whenever that was done, he'd be suspended. So I

60
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: was I was hearing today that if it is indeed

61
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: increased by more of which it will, that the Browns

62
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: will make a run A Jimmy Garoppolo general. I can't

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: remember if we talked about this or not today, but

64
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Albert Pria, Charles Robinson both a pine that they felt

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: like the league does not want him at all to

66
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: play against Houston in week thirteen. So that would be

67
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a twelve the Texans of the twelfth game. That's the

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: twelfth game of the Texas schedule, of the twelfth game

69
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: for the Browns. Have you heard that and do you

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: buy that? No? I know I've not heard it, and

71
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't buy it because why not? Why would they

72
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: give a ranch? You know what if he played against

73
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the Texans or anybody else. The fact is it's games,

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: it's not opponents, and he very well could miss the

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: game here if it's twelve, and personally I hope it's eleven.

76
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: But no, I don't see the league differentiating and picking.

77
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: I mean, what would be behind that. Maybe it's true,

78
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: but I just don't see any reasoning. John here. We

79
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: have the Hall of Fame game tonight that's on these

80
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: very airwaves right after we are done. So that's gonna

81
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: be very cool to hear some football as you'll have

82
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: the Raiders getting it on with the Jaguars today. But

83
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: this makes it four preseason games for each of these teams.

84
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Obviously we've gotten down to three as a league general.

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: How long does it take to get to eighteen games?

86
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: If we ever get there, will that happen and when?

87
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Will it happen? Absolutely? And will it'll happen when TV

88
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: wants it, because TV dictates everything, because more games means

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: more money for the owners, and we know the owners

90
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: definitely need more money, and it trickle down ef fact

91
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: that it affects the players as well, and so it's coming,

92
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, the unbalanced schedules, not when anyone likes. For

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: a while, they thought about going up to two. I

94
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: remember when they would you know, they put from twelve

95
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: to fourteen to sixteen. I remember when they went to sixteen.

96
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: It was not as big a deal because he didn't

97
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: have social media today and so people didn't think it

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: about it. But there's a lot of howling about the records,

99
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: the unfairness. It's outrageous that all those records compiled by

100
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: the greatest of the great are just going to be

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: shoved into the background, and they were and they will be.

102
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: General We were talking about the Browns earlier and whether

103
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Deshaun plays six, five, ten, who knows how many games

104
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: is gonna end up playing. But as you look at

105
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: that division, it's the one Texas don't play that division.

106
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: They do play Cleveland from that division, but they don't

107
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: play anybody else. They'll play the AFC North next year,

108
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: but in that divisions, all things considered, everybody's staying healthy.

109
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: How do you look at that division with the Ravens, Steelers,

110
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: Bengals and Browns. The Ravens, if Lamar Jackson stays healthy

111
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: and they don't lose three running backs again as they

112
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: did last year, considering they got a great head coach,

113
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: I would think they're right there as a favorite. Bengals

114
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: coming off the Super Bowl loss, but as we know,

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl teams don't generally super Bowl teams that lose

116
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: don't generally go back to the Super Bowl unless you

117
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: were worth New England with Tom Brady. And so I'm

118
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: not saying they won't win the division because they certainly

119
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: have the talent, but they shocked the heck out everybody

120
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: last year and then Cleveland's got talent on both sides

121
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: of the ball, and it doesn't matter if Watson's there

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: or not. They're gonna run, run and run some more

123
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: because they have to because the location of the stadium.

124
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: So I think if whether it's Brosette or it's Joshua

125
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Dobbs or Jimmy g they're gonna tell them just don't

126
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: lose the game because their defense is good, their pass

127
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: rush is good. But they're built to win. Now. They've

128
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: got four of their top players whose contracts are expiring

129
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: after this season, so they were all in on this season,

130
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's to me a three team race. A lot

131
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: of people are saying, don't count out the Steelers, and

132
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Okay, let's see Mitchell Traubisky and Kenny Pickett

133
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: or Rookie. I just don't see the Steelers winning the division.

134
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but I can see them being a very

135
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: tough out and spoiling a lot of plans. Right even

136
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: if oh yeah, sure for them, which would be highly unusual.

137
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: We all know that they've had monumental success. What no

138
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: sub five hundred since what oh three? That's incredible stuff

139
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: right there. I remember two they Ben got into next year.

140
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Remember he came in and he's gone, yeah, yeah, fifteen

141
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: and one. They went with him right and then uh

142
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: they started with touchdown Tommy Maddams and he got hurt

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: and Ben had to go in, and I think they

144
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: were like they had a Roethlisberger lost. I don't know

145
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: that he lost the game as a rookie, but he

146
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: didn't start the whole season. But boy, you talk about

147
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: like Dan Marino, those guys were so lucky you'd be

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: bypassed and they were devastated that they were. But they

149
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: got to got to go to really good teams and

150
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: the differences. Roethlisberger has two Super Bowl rings. Boy, when

151
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: John brought up playing the AFC North next year, I thought, already,

152
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: it just feels like ten minutes ago the Texans faced

153
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: off against the AFC North and they'll go to Baltimore

154
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: and two Cincinnati next year. The Steeler will be at

155
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium next year. That is going to be cool.

156
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: And look, I don't care what the record is. That's

157
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: fun to have them in town. Look at Border that

158
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: one they beat them in twenty eleven. Well, you mentioned

159
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: the Garoppolo thing as a possibility, that does that have

160
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: some real legs to it, and do they have to

161
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: make the deal or are they gonna just cut them eventually? General?

162
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Are they how does this all work with Garoppolo? Because

163
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: you get the feeling that if there's no market, they

164
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: have to go ahead and pull the trigger at some point.

165
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: And I don't think they want to trade him to

166
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Seattle within the division the Browns, you know, if you

167
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: think they've stocked filed all his talent on both sides

168
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: of the ball, and they believe they're a Super Bowl

169
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: contender and then to play ten or more games without

170
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: their quarterback and go and Jacoby Presett. I could see

171
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: them going after Garoppolo and getting a conditional pig based

172
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: on how much he plays or how much they accomplished,

173
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: because he would certainly be better than Brasette and Josh

174
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: Wood Dobbs. General, if I gave you three hundred bucks,

175
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I always love to ask you this question. I'll take

176
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: it anytime, John, I know, but I'm telling you you

177
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: have to spend it like Brewster's millions. But it's Harris

178
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: three hundred bucks and you have to go to Vegas

179
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: and you get one hundred bucks for three teams, three

180
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: teams to win the Super Bowl. The three teams you

181
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: are most confident in to win the Super Bowl. Now

182
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: they might not be teams one, two, and three in

183
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: your power rankings to start the year, but your three

184
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: teams you're most confident would go and win the Super Bowl,

185
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: and you put a hundred on each team. What three

186
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: teams are they? And wife? That's a cool boy. I

187
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: feel like mattress Mac. I thought you were gonna say,

188
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: take three teams that didn't have good odds to win

189
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl like some of the other ones. But

190
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: based on what you said, John, I'll look quarterback, and

191
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: I look at the head coach, and so I will

192
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: if you think of what the Chiefs accomplished. And I

193
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: don't care that they lost Tyree Hill. I think great

194
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks make great receivers, So I would take Kansas City

195
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: is one. Would not take the Packers, even though they

196
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: may end up with home field advantage like they seem

197
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to do it every year and they haven't been since

198
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: two thy ten. I don't care that the Bucks have

199
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: lost their interior offensive line. I would put one on

200
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: Brady probably is three, and then one in the middle.

201
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going with the Rams just because the Super

202
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Bowl champions don't repeat, and I just, I just I

203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: just can't do it. So my third one is going

204
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: to be, let me think a minute, Buffalo, just because

205
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: everybody seems to think the Bills. So I'd say Kansas City, Buffalo,

206
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay. I got mine, Johnny, I got kin.

207
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: I'll go ahead, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Buffalo. Um, I'm

208
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: going with the Lions, the Jets, and the would be

209
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the last team I would take. We're not talking about

210
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: number one pick. We're not talking about the number one pick. Well,

211
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's value. There's value in those three teams. Man,

212
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Giants and the Lions. I mean, look,

213
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I talk about odds. I know, I know, but I

214
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: know this sounds crazy, and we'll learn a little bit

215
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: more about them on Tuesday. But I'm I'm more bullish

216
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: on the Lions not winning the Super Bowl. I mean,

217
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: I think to win the Super Bowl, I would go

218
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: definitely Bills, for sure. I think the Bucks will be

219
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: in that mix because I think the NFC South, they

220
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: won't even have to try through seventeen games and they'll

221
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: win a division. It should be ready for the playoffs.

222
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: And of course you trust Brady, and I think there

223
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: will be some wild card in there. I'm gonna say

224
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens because I believe in Lamar taking no

225
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: strides and I think that Lamar is that dificult to

226
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: prepare for if he's healthy for this season. I think

227
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: lam Margaret's tough to stop, so but I do. I'm

228
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: bullish on the Lions, and I don't think, you know,

229
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson added to what they've done on the offensive line,

230
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: and look, I know it's Jared Goff, but you know,

231
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I think Dan Campbell's enthusiasm rubs off. I think Brad

232
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: Holmes has done a really good job. I think the

233
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: Lions are so similar to the Texans. Maybe they're a

234
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: year away, but maybe they surprised some people this year.

235
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: They played really well last year at times, and they

236
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: played hard at all times. For Dan Campbell, I am

237
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: bullish on the Lions to be a crazy, crazy dark

238
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: horse wild card playoff contender. I know I'm nuts, but

239
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: that's why I'm while you're nuts. Yes, Dan Campbell lost

240
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: some games last year with bad game management decisions, and

241
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: he has everybody loves him. He's enthusiastic, he's an Aggie,

242
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna pick him till he shows me

243
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: he can go through in the season without making those mistakes.

244
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: And for people who complaining about the Texans who've had

245
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: two bad seasons in a row, the Lions have not

246
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: won a playoff game since the fifties. And I'm hoping

247
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: that former Lions coach Buddy Parker is the NFL Hall

248
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: of Fame Coach Committee's nominee to be nominated, because you think,

249
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: if you what two words do you never put together

250
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: Lions in championship and he won two in the fifties,

251
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: And if you win too with the Lions, by God,

252
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: you deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. That's unbelievable. Well,

253
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: all right, look, I understand it's been a long time

254
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: for them, and you're right about the Texans. I mean

255
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: the back to back losing seasons of the first time

256
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: that's occurred in fifteen years for this particular franchise. Let

257
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: me get to this for a moment. I want to

258
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: get into a sidebar little featurey question that Landry Locker

259
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: asked us this morning. And I bring this up because

260
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: I saw that they're actually gonna remake Roadhouse or rebooted

261
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: or whatever with Jake deaul in the Patrick Sweezy Dalton role,

262
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: which is just ridiculous. But and I bring it up

263
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: because Roadhouse is one of the greatest bad movies ever.

264
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: It's a terrific bad movie. Landry said, what is the

265
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: best bad sports movie or your favorite bad sports movie

266
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: is a movie that's considered bad by a lot, but

267
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: you still love it, and it's a sports movie. And

268
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: if it's a football movie, that would even give you

269
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: more credit. Here, boy, I would say one of the

270
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: ones I've been in, those were not bad. They were great.

271
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I'll say, actually, I'll say I was in one and

272
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: I've watched it a million times. Remake of The Longest

273
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: Yard a famous actors in there, and course it did

274
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: was fun to be a part of, and its own

275
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: a lot, and I get residual checks for it. But

276
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: if if you think about it, it was Adams Sandler

277
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: as the star. It was a roster of good character actors,

278
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of good athletes, led by Michael Irvin. So

279
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: I think the Longest Jarred remake is my good my

280
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: best bad movie. I don't think it's bad though. Yeah,

281
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: when The Longest Shark comes on, General. I always watch it.

282
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: I love I love the original. Of course, when Burt

283
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Reynolds decides to throw at Ray Nichky's another Regions, I

284
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: always laugh, even though Ray Knichky was I think maybe

285
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: the first professional athlete I've ever met, But I love that.

286
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: The second one was great, and then I see you

287
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, there's a General, So I always

288
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna kick out of out of that one, Mark, I

289
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: thought of another one though, I thought of another one,

290
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: And every time it comes on, I watch it and

291
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: it is the epitome of bad sports movie. But when

292
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: it comes on, I watch it and that's semi pro

293
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: with Woody Harrelson and Will Farrell. I always always watch it.

294
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: That is the epitome of bad sports movie. And when

295
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: it's on, no matter what I'm watching it. What about

296
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Happy gil That is not a bad movie. I think

297
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: that's a terrific commun Yeah, and Julie called that a

298
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: bad sports movie, and Julie Bowen went to Brown, So

299
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm partial to her for that. I'm that alone.

300
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: And she's in Modern Family, which it still freaks me

301
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: out a little bit because when I see Happy Gilmar,

302
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's her from Modern Family. But it doesn't

303
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: really look like her, but she looks great in both entities.

304
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of it. Is North

305
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Dallas forty a bad movie or is it a good

306
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: sports movie. I thought it was a bad movie. You know.

307
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Mc davis was the quarterback and he's about five eight,

308
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: And I just thought it was bad when it came out,

309
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's bad today. Okay, general I saw

310
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: so wrote go ahead, John or Mark. I'm John, You're Mark?

311
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: All right? So I the Roadhouse thing. Dave Damaschek from

312
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. I think he still works there. He

313
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: tweeted this out. Instead of redoing Roadhouse badly like they're

314
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: bound to do, because you cannot redo a swayzy movie

315
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: with any kind of just you can't do it. You

316
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: can't do it with any kind of proficiency whatsoever. Right,

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: they tried point break. No, you're not going to redo

318
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: Roadhouse because it's the best bad movie ever. He said,

319
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: do the Wade Garret story, that's the Sam Elliott character

320
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: in Roadhouse, do his backstory and just making a different movie.

321
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: And I thought that's a brilliant idea for Roadhouse fans.

322
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: They are nodding in agreement right now as opposed to

323
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: a remake, because you can't do Swayze better than Swayze, absolutely,

324
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: and it amazes me. In that movie with Sam Elliot,

325
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: one of my all time favorites. You always think, you know,

326
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: he's in his eighties now, still going strong. He was

327
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: only like forty five in Roadhouse and he looked like

328
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: he's seventy five then and ended up with a knife

329
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: in his chest. And that one, that one where the

330
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: guy where Swayze tears out his throat and he said,

331
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: I blinked guys like you in prison and then he

332
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: gets his throat torn out, and Ben Gazzara was great.

333
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: That's probably his last movie. That whole thing was so schlocky.

334
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: But man, I'm like you, guys, I've watched it a

335
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: million times. Okay, could you redo Ghost? Probably? Could you know?

336
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: You could know? Good? Yes, you could, you could redo anything? Yeah,

337
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: but you I mean, yeah, you could. Ghost is so

338
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: hokey when they have the ghosts or whatever, those goblins

339
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, we're taking people to the nether region. I

340
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: guess that is so over the top hokey. But Demi

341
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Moore is wonderful anyway, got off in a little movie.

342
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: Tangent Swayzie a Houstonian, of course, and we love him

343
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: for that, and so is Dennis Quaid. And speaking of

344
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: sports movies, he's been in a billion of them, so

345
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: give him credit for that. His best for of course,

346
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: was The Rookie. The Rookie was the best one he

347
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: ever did. Hey, General, I saw, but I might tweet

348
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: this today and I want to ask you about this

349
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: because he got me thinking. My buddy Rahal tweeted out

350
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: like five different categories and the last one he put

351
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of got my attention to Mark and I were

352
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: kind of chatting about this a little bit. I don't

353
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: know if we really got to our answers on this,

354
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: But what's the best sporting event you've ever gone to?

355
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: Whether you covered it or you were there as a fan,

356
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: what's the best sporting event that you've ever gone to? Well,

357
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: the biggest of gores would be the Super Bowl. But

358
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: I worked at all of them, so I never considered

359
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: anyway because I was working and I didn't. I don't

360
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: go to a lot of things with big crowds. But

361
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: the first Final Four I went to and I was

362
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: I still am a diehard college basketball fan, the excitement,

363
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: the electricity, and then the other one was in the astronome.

364
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: They had a fight and I believe it was No

365
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Moas who was no mis Oh boxer and maybe he

366
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: hit Man Hearns and the electricity and the dome for

367
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: that one, when they came out, I had a pass

368
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: where I could be down behind the scenes. I've never

369
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: seen anything that people got more excited about like that.

370
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: So I would love to go to a World Cup match,

371
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: and I'm playing on't do it when it's here, because

372
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: I've been about every big soccer match that they've had

373
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: it inn RG Stadium in including the last one, and

374
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I love them because of the fans. And I can't

375
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: imagine I watched every World Cup match. I'm not a

376
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: big soccer fan, but I liked the World Cup. But

377
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: we went to Italy one time right before the World

378
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: Cup that Italy won in the anticipation in that country,

379
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: So that's the one I'd like to do next. John Whores.

380
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: I think the best sporting event that I have been to,

381
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: probably the one not that I've covered, was the ninety

382
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: three to John's Final four that that whole weekend was unbelievable.

383
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: It was four Blue Bloods for the for the most part,

384
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: depending on classified Michigan, but it was Michigan, North Carolina,

385
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Kansas in Kentucky, and all three games in the final

386
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: four were incredible, and the second half of the Michigan

387
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: North Carolina championship game was unreal. But being at the game,

388
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: we had no idea why the game was stopping after

389
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: Webber called the time out, we had no idea, Like,

390
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: we just saw the North Carolina bench going nuts, and

391
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: so we were download so we couldn't. We had no idea.

392
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: We're all looking around, ask each other what happened? What happened?

393
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: And then North Carolina was shooting free throws, and so

394
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: we had no idea. We came back, obviously, watched it

395
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: at home and figured it all out. But that was

396
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: that game. To John's point of Michigan North Carolina, it

397
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: was Webber, the Fab five. That was the last game

398
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: of the Fab five, and you know North Carolina, Montrose

399
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: and Dean Smith, and it was you know, Dean winning

400
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: on titles just a second. It was I mean, it

401
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: was a heck of a basketball game. And the thing was,

402
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: I always felt bad when you watch a game and

403
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: a guy's remembered for having a goat moment, like a

404
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: bad goat moment where he calls the time out. He

405
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: didn't have. Webber dominated the game in the second half,

406
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: like Webber was as good as I've ever seen a

407
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: basketball player play live. He was unbelievable, and then calls

408
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: that time out, and that's all anybody ever remembers from

409
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: that game. He was the only reason they were in

410
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: it at that point. But that's probably my ninety four

411
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: I still think people respect the daylights out of Webber

412
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: as a player in college, and that is a bad moment.

413
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: But it's not like he's Bill Buckner, and Buckner was

414
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: a hell of a baseball player. But that's even worse

415
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: when you look at what he did letting the ball

416
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: go through his legs in Game six of the nineteen

417
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: eighty six World Series. We don't have to get into

418
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: all that. It's interesting. It's interesting stuff, for sure. General,

419
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: you'll be out on the field tomorrow. We're looking forward

420
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: to it. Let me ask you one more question about

421
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: the Texans. Davis Mills is getting a lot of love,

422
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot of love right now, and it doesn't I

423
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: always like to compare things too well, what does It

424
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: remind me of historically for the Texans. I know, Watson's

425
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: rookie camp was different because he was kind of at

426
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: a battle of Tom Savage, trying to outshine Tom because

427
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Tom was the would be starter, and Tom are pretty

428
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: good in practice. He looked really good in practice, as

429
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, in practice. But what are your thoughts?

430
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: Is there anything to compare it to how you feeling

431
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: about that? I would guess and be more like David

432
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: Carr coming into this top Bacon franchise history, and people

433
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: were fired up about that first season and looking for

434
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: any sign that he was going to be what he

435
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: was supposed to be, and they wanted to see improvement.

436
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: You guys know that, and then they want to see

437
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: improvement with Mills. Fans here are realistic, you know, they're

438
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: very realistic about expectations for the team and the players.

439
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: They just want to see improvement in phase two and

440
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Nick Serio's rebuild. Cautiously excited something like that, I mean,

441
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: I think people should be excited. Of course, it's a

442
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: one game at a time, one moment at a time

443
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: kind of thing. General. We look forward to seeing you

444
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: on the field tomorrow morning. Thank you, guys, very much.

445
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: I will see you in the morning. Sounds good. John

446
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: mcclan the general from the Houston Chronicle. Formerly, it's still

447
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: coming out of my mouth that he's from the Houston

448
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: Chronicle General. It's still there. I can't get rid of it.

449
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: It's been years, so but I did say formerly at

450
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: the end, Okay, coming out, who's better. We've got AFC

451
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: South stuff here. It's good and I might throw in

452
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: another swazy thing. Why not because it's a theme of

453

478
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: Who's better? Yes? Let's go? All right, let's go? All right?

479
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: How am I worth this? Make one of these teams better?

480
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Make one of these teams better? So another way I'm

481
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: gonna ask you, right, I'll set this up this way.

482
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Who's winning the AFC South in your opinion? Between the

483
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: Colts and the Titans. Look, I hope the Texans win it. Yeah,

484
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 1: but let's pick between these two teams. Okay, the Colts

485
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: and the Titans. Who do you got? Colts? I think

486
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: we'll find out a lot about obviously find a lot

487
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: about the Colts in Week one, but I think we're

488
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna find a lot about the Colts mental fortitude after

489
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: the way last season ended and how they respond the

490
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: first four or five games of this year, because they

491
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: know they know they let one go last year. But

492
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: did they get all the way down to the bottom

493
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: of the war. Did they get is Carson Wentz the warp?

494
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: Did they get him out? Or is there more there

495
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: that they have an address and lingers for this year?

496
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: The Titans, we know Rabel can pull wins from nowhere,

497
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Like how did they win that game? He's done that

498
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: since he's been there, Like, how did they win this?

499
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: I have how they beat us in eighteen? They don't

500
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: have a left, they don't have a tackle, and they're

501
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: playing blank Gabbert and they beat us. So the Titans

502
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: are always good for one of us. I just think

503
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: the Cults are that much better, especially with Matt Ryan

504
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback, than the Titans will be with Ryan Tannehill

505
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Okay, so this is a quarterback question. Okay,

506
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: are the Titans better with Tannehill? I mean with Matt Ryan?

507
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: What if I shipped Matt Ryan over to Tennessee and

508
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: I put Tannehill on the Colts? I swapped QBS. Who's better? Now? Oh? Boy,

509
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: Ryan on the Titans? See, I think I'll throw you

510
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: another one. I'll throw you another one. I'll give you

511
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. You can put them on the Titans. Are

512
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: they better with Trevor Lawrence? Come on, you said this

513
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: guy was a generation yeah? Oh yeah. Oh you're forcing

514
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: me into an answer here. Don't badger the witness. Yes,

515
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence with the Titans would be nasty, would be

516
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: nasty now to that end? Okay, So I'll throw one

517
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: back at you. Who's got a better receiver corps? The

518
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans Robert Woods, Rookie Trey lum Burke's Nick Westbrook

519
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: at Keene and Anthony Firks are at tight end? Or

520
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: the Jags, whose entire receiving corp is not playing tonight

521
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: with Zay Jones, Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, Jamal Agnew and

522
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: tight end Evan Ingraham alongside Dan Arnold, which receiver corps

523
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: is better the one Trevor Lawrences throwing two or the

524
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: one that Ryan Tannehill is throwing two this year. Yeah,

525
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty easy. It's the Titans, and we've seen

526
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: some of the damage done. I know Zay Jones can

527
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: catch some passes, and I know Kirk's pretty decent as well.

528
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: But look, Arizona, I know people don't think they're loaded necessarily,

529
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: but for a while they were, you know, and they

530
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of guys to take the attention of

531
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: the defense, and Kirk made his money and give him

532
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: credit for that. I still think, you know, he's gonna

533
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: be a guy who can do some damage for the Jaguars.

534
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. But that's my next question.

535
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: Which rookie receiver is better, trail On Burks or Alec

536
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Pierce Pierce for the Cults, Burks for the Titans. And

537
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: they thought so highly of them, They're like, well, a J. Brown,

538
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay him anyway, so let's go ahead

539
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: and trade him and draft this kid and see how

540
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: it goes. Not that they're putting all of the AJ

541
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Brown production on him, but they would like to see

542
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: it happen. Well, you and I consume as much content

543
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: throughout the league as possible, and the Colts build the

544
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Texans version is called with the next pick. I think

545
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: it's what it's called. And when Alec Pierce was still

546
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: on the board in the second round, Ballard was almost

547
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: dancing in the room. He kept looking at Frank like, Frank,

548
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: is this gonna happen? At Frank right, head coach, He's like,

549
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: are we gonna get this guy? Like, I didn't think

550
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: there's any chance we're gonna get this guy. I thought

551
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: we were gonna have to trade up to get this guy.

552
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: And now he's so I know the Colts love him.

553
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: And he is a six three, two hundred fifteen track guy.

554
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't go and he's got almost a

555
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: forty inch vertical leap. That said I was a big

556
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: Treylon Burks guy. I think if Treylon got everything kind

557
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: of you figured out. With this asthma and how he's

558
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: dealing with that, sounds like he's kind of got that

559
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: going in the right direction. I still think it's gonna

560
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: take him a little while to kind of get it

561
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: and get it going, but I think he can be

562
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: even more dangerous to A J. Brown, And I was

563
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: just a big I was a big fan of Burks.

564
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: What he's not, He's not a burner. Pierce is a burner,

565
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: and so that worries me. But it's Matt Ryan throwing

566
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: the ball, and I don't know Matt. I mean, Matt

567
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: Ryan's kind of got a Matt Shob arm now at

568
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: this point, Like it's not it's not. I don't want

569
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: to say it's a wet noodle, but it's not a

570
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: great arm. And I don't know if they're gonna be

571
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of Alec Pierce's athleticism down the field.

572
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: I still think Daniel could throw it. I think Daniel

573
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: still got some juice. And I was a big Burkes fan,

574
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Burks over Pierce. But I

575
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: know the Colts loved, loved, loved, loved the opportunity to

576
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: get pierced where they did in the second round. All right,

577
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: next to AFC South, question between the Cults and the Titans,

578
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: better home field for them, better atmosphere, home field advantage

579
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Nashville or Indianapolis? Witnian Apple is better Indianapolis Tennessee? Does

580
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: I going to Tennessee doesn't scare me in the slightest.

581
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: Now some of that and well not really. I have

582
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: channeled you and Dre's thoughts in my mind all those

583
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: years of losing to the Colts up in Indianapolis. Says

584
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: we've been going Indiapolis, the three of us lost in fourteen,

585
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: but one in fifteen sixteen, lost in seventeen but one

586
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: in eighteen, lost in nineteen when we lost the last three.

587
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: But you get the point. Indianapolis is not quite a

588
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: house of horrors anymore. It's just a place where you

589
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: gotta go. But it's kind of odd up there. It's

590
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: just weird. I don't know the right the right way

591
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: of saying it. It's just weird. And that the fans

592
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: are I don't know, they're loud, but it's not totally disconcerting.

593
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: So it's just an odd place to play. And I

594
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: think the Colts kind of play to that, play that

595
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: to their advantage. Tennessee. It's I mean, it's just it's

596
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: another road game. It's not like, oh man, we're playing

597
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: inside of Lucas. No, that's just you know whatever. I mean.

598
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the name of the stadium

599
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: is now. When they go build a new stadium, maybe

600
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: this one. I don't know. I just it's it. It

601
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: looks like Jacksonville Stadium. They could change all the colors

602
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: to Jack's colors teal in black, and they'd be like, oh,

603
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: where Jacksonville. I don't think there's any in Tennessee. There's

604
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: any real advantage. Definitely not an advantage over Indianapolis is

605
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil. Were you living in Jacksonville when the

606
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: Jags lost to the Titans in the AFC Championship Game

607
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: in ninety nine. Yes, it was brutal and I know yeah,

608
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: and it was the Titans have beat him twice and

609
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: leading up a game, it's just I didn't think they'd

610
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: beat in the Dolphins like sixty two to seven, and

611
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: it was like, they're gonna house the Titans. This isn't

612
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: even gonna be close. You don't beat a team three

613
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: times in a year and the Titans are like, we

614
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: don't care. I mean, the Titans had the right personalities

615
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: on that team to not give a rip about well,

616
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: you know it's supposed to bet him three times in

617
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: a year. They didn't care. I mean they had Jeff

618
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Fisher who was in his coaching groove at that point,

619
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: and then you had McNair and Eddie George and then

620
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: and then they you know, defensively, I mean, Jamalah Curse

621
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: is one of the more underrated great players that's ever

622
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: come into this league. I saw him at Florida and

623
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: I thought, this guy's gonna be unbelievable. They moved it

624
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: from safety cows own linebacker to defensive end. He comes

625
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: to the league and was just dominating, dominating everybody in

626
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine and he just killed the Jaguars and the

627
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: Titans ended up going to the Super Bowl. And I

628
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: always felt like, had the Jags got in the Super Bowl,

629
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: I think they would have had a better opportunity to

630
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: beat the Rams because the Jags had a better offense.

631
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: The Titans could have put up any offense in that

632
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: game until in the late and the second half, and

633
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: that was just because gassed. The Jags had Jimmy Smith,

634
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: Key McCardell and they had Mark Brunell thrown to him,

635
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: they had Fred Taylor. The Jags would have given the

636
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: Rams a much tougher tussle because of their offense, and

637
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: they just couldn't beat the Titans. I remember when the

638
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: Titans were really not doing well a few years ago,

639
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: and the Jags, of course not doing well. And I

640
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: remember telling my kid breaking the news to him for

641
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: the first time that the Jackson Titans once met in

642
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: an AFC championship game. He couldn't believe it, but yes,

643
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: it's true, and the Jackson actually played in three AFC

644
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: championship games. Ouch. All right, final question here, it's a

645
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: who's better segment? What's the better bad Swayzy movie? Point

646
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Break or Roadhouse? Movies we love even though they're not

647
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: critically acclaimed, although maybe point Break got some better reviews.

648
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: But it's got Kean who's not a very good actor,

649
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: but he's in a lot of good movies. So you

650
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: know my achilles heel with movies, right, and that is

651
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: there's some of them I haven't seen. I readily admit this.

652
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Sean Pendergast gave me grief for years. So let's free

653
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: phrase this question. Which Swayzy movie has John not seen?

654
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: Roadhouse or Point Break? It would be both of them.

655
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, stop the music. I know,

656
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: my god, I can't deal with this. It's embarrassing with this.

657
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Here's the thing our young dudes

658
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: in our office. You tell them, hey, you need to

659
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: see this movie is from the nineties. It just you

660
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: got it. It's party and they get it. You know,

661
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: they're ambivalent, like, I'm not seeing that. That's like from

662
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: the nineties. We know the internet then, like, dull, I'm

663
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: not seeing that movie. I will at least say yes,

664
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: I need to see those movies. I will take a

665
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: day sometime when I'm not watching film, especially not during

666
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: football season. Maybe on a flight, maybe not a flight,

667
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: somewhere where you can't be somewhere and you gotta be,

668
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, in the plane. That's the only place you

669
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: can be for two and a half hours. And hey,

670
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: there's point break. Okay, maybe I'll watch it for the

671
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: first time. Yeah, don't watch the rebake. Look the original.

672
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: It's it's a better movie than Roadhouse. It probably holds

673
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: up a lot better as well. Roadhouse does not hold well.

674
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 1: It's still so much fun. It's so over the top,

675
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: hokey and just exaggerated. Anyway, enough of that. I can't

676
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: believe they're rebooting him with Jake Jillenhall. Come on, okay, okay, yeah, Hollywood,

677
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: at your disposal cast somebody good. Okay, I got I

678
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: got one for you though. So that's Jake Jillenhall. They're

679
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: redoing Roadhouse with Jake Jillenhall. Okay, right, I ask you

680
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: what's worse. Roadhouse remake with Jake Jillenhall or White Man

681
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Can't Jump remake with Jack Harlow as Woody Harrelson's character. Wait,

682
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm blanking on Jack Harlow? Should I rap Harlow singer?

683
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you? I guess he's a

684
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: rapper singers. I'm pulling him up. Yeah, No, he can't

685
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: be that guy. Can't. Well maybe you know what, if

686
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: they dress him up properly, he could. You know the

687
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: problem with these reboots is you're so familiar with the

688
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: original actors playing those characters. Yeah, it's just it can't

689
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: possibly be as good. But maybe it can be different.

690
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: You know. They seldom, they seldom do a better job

691
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: the next time. Even Samuel L. Jackson is shaft. Richard

692
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: Rowntree is shaft to me. I'm sorry, it's just the

693
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: way it is. All right, that's gonna do it. For

694
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: that segment, I gave John McClain a Davis Mills question

695
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: that I'm going to throw your way about the way

696
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: he's being perceived right now, what the projections are, we'll

697
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: dig into that and go around the league. Next Texans

Speaker 1: Just we returned to Texans All Access, Mark Vandamaron John

707
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: Harris with you. So, Hollywood Brown arrested for driving one

708
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six miles per hour in a sixty

709
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: five mile per hour zone. So one twenty six and

710
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: a sixty five that's it. Look, I've been you maybe

711
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: accused of going a town day in certain areas like

712
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Wisconsin, when we're trying to make a show.

713
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: But it was for a good read, that was for

714
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: a good reason. We had to get the show on, Officer.

715
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: We have to go live in three minutes and I

716
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: have a seven minute drive in front of him. Yes,

717
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: so how would you like me to handle that? Okay?

718
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: And we made it. For the record, We made it. Yep,

719
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: that was fun. John Harris does not want to remember

720
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: that though, because I know you don't like to drive

721
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: with me anymore after that little journey. I'm okay with it.

722
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. I was handing on like two

723
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: different cell phones and trying to not look at the

724
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: road because I was looking at the neighborhood that I've

725
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: been through a million times go by like so fast

726
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: that I was like, okay, just look at the phones.

727
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: Just look at the phones. Just text the people that

728
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: need to be texting. Don't pay attention. And then we

729
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: got there with like four minutes to spare. So it

730
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, yeah, we made it. It was good.

731
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: I think Clinton was doing the show. I don't know

732
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: it was Ron with us then, No, I don't think No,

733
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: Ron wasn't with us. Then twenty nineteen, all right, we

734
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: were at the Packer Hall of Fame and the man,

735
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: it's great to be there, and I'm I'm hoping that

736
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: we get to do another preseason game at Green Bay

737
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: because that's a lot of fun to go up there,

738
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: and everybody should visit at some point. I know, the

739
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game is tonight, that's just a few

740
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: minutes from now on these very airwaves, and the Hall

741
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: of Fame is terrific. But I think one b is

742
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Wisconsin with Lambeau and the Packer Hall of Fame,

743
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: because that is the history of football. I mean, they're

744
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: a one hundred plus year old team, tied for the

745
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: oldest team in the league. Actually, the Cardinals are right there,

746
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: but the Cardinals now reside in Phoenix after moving from

747
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: Chicago to Saint Louis. Of course, so there's a little

748
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: NFL history for you. Johnny Davis Mills, you've heard of him.

749
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: We are seeing a lot of positive reviews from the

750
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: media out there. There's a lot of excitement about him. Look,

751
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: I think people should get excited. But at the same time,

752
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: you know, look, we've we've all seen some things in

753
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: this league over the years. How do you gauge it,

754
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: Help me gauge this. You know, mcclan brought up David Carr. Well,

755
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: they were excited about David. Look, David Carr did not

756
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: look like this in training camp did not. David Carr

757
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: was interesting, but the offense was different too, and it

758
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: was another era. I mean, heck, that was twenty years

759
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: ago when he first started. And I remember Kubiak's first year.

760
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: There was a night practice and Kubiak did some aggressive

761
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: counseling with David Carr in front of the entire crowd

762
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: on a I forget what it was. It was some

763
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of audible or not audible something. He did not

764
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: do something thing correctly, and Koubiak was counseling him as

765
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: they say, so your thoughts of what we're seeing right now,

766
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very enthusiastic about it. I want to make

767
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: sure I say that. I don't want to get ahead

768
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: of myself, like man even know Whatice Davis was completed

769
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: eight or row like he did the other day. I

770
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: don't want to get ahead of myself. I just want

771
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: to see him keep stacking days one after the other.

772
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: Just good practice, good practice, good practice gets his confidence up.

773
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: He's really creating a synergy with Brandy Cooks and Nico

774
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: Collins and that keeps up. And I want to see

775
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: him go through the preseason game that experience because he

776
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: might get you might actually get sacked and tackled. And

777
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: that's always interesting in the preseason or first game that

778
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: a guy plays him because oh boy, that's the first

779
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: hit this guy's taken, because in playing preseason. But my

780
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: guess is Davis will play at least a little bit

781
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: in the preseason. I have just been encouraged aged by

782
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: the entire operation, how he's handling himself at the line

783
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, how he is just taking command. I mean

784
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned the other day and amidst of those eight

785
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: consecutive passes, the second one was one out to Brevin Jordan.

786
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: It was a play in which Davis got the line

787
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. He killed the play and he was like

788
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: kill kill. So they essentially they called two plays in

789
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: the huddle and they killed the first play and they

790
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: were going to the second play, and they had Brevin

791
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: on the out route, on the flat route, and Davis

792
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: hit him, completed it and ended up being a five

793
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: six yard game. So it's those things too that are

794
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: coming together. And Davis has never been a guy that

795
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: gets rattled or seemingly rattled. I mean, he's never gonna

796
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: show you if that. I think we saw it last year.

797
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: When he when he was playing early on, like okay,

798
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: the Buffalo game in particular, the ball slipped out of

799
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: his hands. I was like, oh, because you didn't see

800
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: him find his confidence at all at that point. But

801
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: he won't show it outwardly. He also won't go the

802
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: other way. You also won't see that he is just

803
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: seeming on fire in practice, so you won't see that.

804
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: I gotta think this defense is gonna be better than

805
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: it was last year. It was already pretty good. I

806
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: was reading a number today. They were like tenth and

807
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,959
Speaker 1: dvoa or something like that. So that defense was better

808
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: even analytically and statistically that people thought. And it's better

809
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: this year and Davis is doing what he wants to

810
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: out there, So I've got to be encouraged. I've said

811
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: this well. Bill Lebron used to say it, and we

812
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: kind of stole it from him. We're not putting anybody

813
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: in can We're really not. But you know what, it's

814
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: okay to be hopeful about Davis Mills as a quarterback.

815
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: It's okay. It's okay if you were wrong about him,

816
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: that's fine. And we won't know whether you know whatever.

817
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that want to be

818
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: right about why I was right, because Davis is not

819
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: that we'll see how it goes. But it's okay to

820
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: be hopeful about the guy you have in at quarterback

821
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: this year, because I think he's light years aware away

822
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: from where he was last year. And that is all

823
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: to give me hope and give us hope, and I

824
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: see that completely well, like you said, stacking days pass,

825
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: just keep going up, just keep getting better, and we'll

826
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: see where it takes us. And I think equally interesting

827
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: is the development of Brevin Jordan and Nico Collins and

828
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: these other guys who have been with him along the way,

829
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: and new players as well. You know, we all want

830
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: to see more of Philip dor said, who's been a

831
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: little nicked up. Let's hope he can get healthy out there.

832
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: It's too bad about Metchi, but you're gonna go through

833
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: what you're gonna go through. It's NFL training camp, and

834
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: we've we've got a lot of different situations. Obviously, Metchi's

835
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: is much more serious and we wish him the best,

836
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: but everybody's working on improving their game and we'll be

837
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,800
