5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: And it's a renovated NRG Stadium. The entire service level,

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: locker rooms, training room, we already know about the weight

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: room aka sports Performance Center. That's all being changed. That's

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: all been changed. But everything going on to cafeteria, everything. Man,

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: it's crazy there concrete blocks of trash all over the place.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be great. It's gonna hopefully result in

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: maybe changes you won't see, but hopefully that'll be changes

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: that you will see on the field. You just won't

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: see the changes behind the scenes if you will. But

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: it's been a really fun time to see everything going on.

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: It's disruptive, but we know the end result is gonna

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. So if you hear jack hammer noise,

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: it's going on twenty four to seven, it seems in

18

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's um, you know what it isaseball. I

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: mean I was just telling Johnny, I mean it lasts forever,

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: but it's great. It's fun. You know, they practiced for

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: two weeks before they start playing games. So they played

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: this weekend and we're looking forward to it. But uh,

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's interesting. It's a lot of fun. Though.

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Were you were in high school, did you play Do

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: you play baseball? Yes? When did you guys eventually get

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: outside to be oh? Yeah, no question. We talked about

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: this all the time because there's a couple parents on

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: the team from the northeast, you know, that have transplanted

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: down here to Houston. I mean you you didn't get

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: out sometimes till May, Johnny, I mean there were some

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: years it was snowing in April. So these kids, that's

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and you know, it's funny you say that because these

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: these kids, you see the improvement in them, you know,

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: almost weekly, monthly, you know, because they're outside all the time.

60
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: He can they play year round? Yeah, yeah, and in

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: the North. I mean, that's the one thing I realized

62
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: when I moved to Miami. You see kids in January

63
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: playing baseball. You think this cannot happen in the North. No, no, no, exactly.

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean they're literal league season starts here in February, right,

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean you'd have to play in

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: the gym somewhere in Boston. Yea, often you do. Well.

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: That was when when I was when I was at Brown,

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I remember the baseball team practicing in our you know,

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: mac The first time that they got outside to play

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: was on a spring break trip, and our spring break

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: was late it was last week in March. They would

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: go down to South Carolina. I play South Carolina and

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Wafford Clemson. That was the first time outside all year.

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: It just get crushed by all those schools because they're like,

75
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: we're outside for the first time in late March, and

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: even when they came back it was still cold. Yeah.

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Oh all right. So if you were a commissioner of

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Little league baseball or youth league baseball, what are some

79
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: of the things that you might want to improve on,

80
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Because I know you're a server and an evaluator and

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: you can't help but evaluate some of this stuff. Anyway,

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: This is a hard question. I know how i'd answered that.

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I want to be careful. I have to be politically

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: correct because I have a lot of friends over there

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: that I will say this. The dad's coach all the

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: way through until the kids are thirteen, and so it's

87
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: a it's a dad coach deal. And the dad's obviously volunteer,

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: and the commitment, the level of commitment that they make

89
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: to coaching their little league team is unbelievable. I mean

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: it's it's seven days a week for several months. And

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: so I give the dads a lot of credit. Uh,

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: once they get to be thirteen, then then and you

93
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: know whatever, you would want to call it, an independent coach,

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: not a dad, begins to coach them. And I think

95
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: that's that's good, you know. I think that when you

96
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: get somebody who you know, can go in there with

97
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: fresh thoughts and evaluate the kids, and and and it's

98
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: more of a autocracy, you know, where a guy's gonna

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, play or not play based on how he's playing,

100
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's what happens. But I think,

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, commissioner or not commissioner. I think the big

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: thing about Little league baseball is if you can teach

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: them the fundamentals, you know, how to how to catch

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: a pop fly, how to feel a ground or how

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: to throw, you know, the fundamentals of you know, first

106
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: and second, no outs, where where you're going with the round,

107
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: just like the fundamentals obviously of hitting, you know. And

108
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the key. And then teach them about

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: a sportsmanship and being part of a team. And I

110
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: think that's the big thing. I really don't think it's

111
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: all about winning and losing in Little league. I really don't.

112
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: I think it's all about that when you get to

113
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: where we're sitting. But I think at that stage, I

114
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: think it's important that they learn the other things before

115
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: it's like we have to win this game. If we

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: don't win this game, we're not getting dinner tonight. You know.

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the way to go about it.

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: Your big proponentive kids playing multiple sports? Yes, yes, I

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: think Johnny and I have talked about this before. I

120
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: thank you. I think that you know, each sport requires

121
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: a different level of conditioning, movement skills, hand eye coordination,

122
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: all the all the different things you know, football, you

123
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: know it's eleven guys twenty two on the field at

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: one time, Basketball ten, baseball eighteen. You know, there's different

125
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: rules of the games and different skill sets that each

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: game requires. So I really I always encourage that. Ob

127
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: one of the things that we saw come up in

128
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals this year, at the very end of

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: game one, j R. Smith forgets, I don't know, doesn't

130
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: know the score, he doesn't you know, he gets that rebound,

131
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: he runs it out. Lebronze mad at him, and it

132
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: got me thinking about game theory, game management. How valuable

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: is that for young kids to learn, whether they're playing baseball, football, basketball, whatever,

134
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to go with the fundamentals. Uh, here's how you feel

135
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: the grounder. But hey, you're down by one run. You

136
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: got guys at second and third, here's the kind of

137
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: here's the kind of ball you want to try and hit.

138
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: How valuable is it to learn kind of game theory,

139
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: your game management, those kind of things at that young

140
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: and age. I mean, I think that's huge. I think

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: that's that's part of what I was saying. You articulated

142
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: it very well. I think I think that that's uh,

143
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, after learning how to feel the groundball field,

144
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: a pop fly, you know how to hit and all

145
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: those things. I think then it comes down to, hey,

146
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: we need you to sacrifice bun here because here's the

147
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: situation of the game. I think that really teaches kids

148
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: about being on a team. You know, it's a it's

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: a team sport, and I think that's uh, you know,

150
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: the next stage of what they should be learning in

151
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Literal League. I love Literal League. I love watching it,

152
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: and I'm always thinking about how they could improve to

153
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: help these kids get better in Houston. Like we said earlier,

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: these kids, I just I'm always impressed at the improvement

155
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: from the time you know, Michael's been playing here since

156
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: he was nine to the time he's now twelve. He's

157
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: just gotten better and better because they can play all

158
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: the time. They're always outside playing baseball. So I think

159
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: that you see that improvement. But I think that's part

160
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: of it, trying to teach him those things. Probably haven't

161
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: had too much time to watch high school football in Texas,

162
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: but you've saw and I know you'll he really get

163
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: out here to the field and they have these playoff

164
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: games and that kind of thing. But when you look

165
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: at the evolution of high school of football. What do

166
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: you think the level of play now, because I see

167
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: some games on TV and I'm thinking, this is high

168
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: school especially in Texas. I mean especially in Texas, and

169
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: we're probably you know, obviously we're spoiled in Texas because

170
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: high school football in Texas is king. I mean it

171
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: is king. I even from when I was in college

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and recruiting, there's no better state of high school football

173
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: than in Texas. I mean because of the coaching and

174
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the amount of kids that play football. And you know,

175
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I think that one of the things that you see

176
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: in high school football now is you know, it's it's

177
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: a game where the quarterback position is becoming more and

178
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: more diverse, if that makes sense. You know, they can't

179
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: just be the days of just a drop back quarterback

180
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: are really over, you know. When it comes to most

181
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: high schools I watch play, you know, especially when I

182
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: watch them out here, it's guys that can throw, obviously,

183
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: but they can run, they can do some of them

184
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: play defense, play safety on defense. I mean, they're multiple

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: type athletes to play quarterback. And I think that's because

186
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: of the evolution of the spread, the spread part of

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: the game, and spread is an interesting word, but it

188
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: just means that the formations are, you know, more spread out,

189
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, less use of a true tight end, more

190
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: of four or five wide receivers in the game at

191
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: one time, and the balls being thrown. So I think

192
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: you'll you see that a lot, and that's what we're

193
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: seeing now. They go to college, and then when they

194
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: get to our level, you know, you're seeing more and

195
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: more of that when you were in college. I'm sure

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: you're an a ton of recruiting. It's changed, obviously with

197
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: social media and all that coming in play. But do

198
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: you have a story that you remember most from your

199
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: days as a recruiter, like one guy you got or

200
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: one that got away? Is there any story that stands

201
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: out like, oh man, that was crazy that you could

202
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: share on the radio. Of course, Yeah, no, I remember

203
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: this is from earlier in my career. I was at

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and we had a coaching change and I was, uh,

205
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, kept over on the new staff. So we

206
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: had a Georgio Leary was our coach. Everybody knows what

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: it kind of happened there. And then when he left,

208
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: Chan Gailey became head coach and I was retained and

209
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: so I took over. I think me and two other

210
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: guys were retained, so I had to take over some

211
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: of the recruiting that had been going on, if that

212
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: makes sense. So I took over pac Man. And so

213
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: pac Man was from Atlanta City School in Atlanta. Was

214
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: obviously a great player, uh you know dB, obviously a receiver,

215
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: running back punt. I mean, he did it all. He

216
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And he was coming to Georgia Tech. He

217
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: was coming to Georgia Tech. And I remember, hey, Chan,

218
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: this guy's coming in. This is like the first you know,

219
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I was an offensive coordinator there, but you know, I

220
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: had never worked for Chan Gailey before, so you know,

221
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to press your boss, you know. So so

222
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: we all gat that was when they really had started,

223
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: as you remember, you know, putting the signing Day stuff

224
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: on TV. Yeah, so here he comes out on TV

225
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: in his high school gym and he's decked out basically

226
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: in Georgia Tech gear. So here we go, Chan, we're

227
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: getting We're getting pac Man Jones. And all of a sudden,

228
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: he says, I'm gonna shock the world and he takes

229
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: it all off, and underneath it he has West Virginia

230
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: at least looking at me like my job. I called

231
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: Colleen right after that. I said, I need to start

232
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: looking for a job. I don't think I'm gonna be

233
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: kept here much longer. Now. I have about five thousand

234
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: other stories, but that's one from earlier in my career

235
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: that Yeah, you've coached against him at the NFL. Have

236
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: you guys ever talked about that. I've seen him. I never, Yeah,

237
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: I have, like after a game or something. Yeah, No,

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: I've seen him. We coached. I've coached against him a lot,

239
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: and so, uh, you know, whether it was New England

240
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: or here in Houston, and I never bring it up.

241
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: You know it is, but it's just, uh, that was

242
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Oh my gosh. We had another guy. We

243
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: had one more story. Yeah, this is pretty funny. We

244
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: had another guy. I'm not gonna mention his name because

245
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: you know he's he was a great player and he

246
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: played in the NFL. And he was a receiver who

247
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: was from May's High School in Atlanta. He was awesome,

248
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: I mean fast, and I think at one point before

249
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, you know all that, he's probably the leading

250
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: receiver in the history of Georgia. Techer up there in

251
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the top five, which is pretty good because there's been

252
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: some good receivers there. So, but so we're recruiting him,

253
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: and so, you know, he was a kid that played

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: like in a wing t offense and everything was a

255
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: projection blah blah blah blah. So we weren't sure we're

256
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: gonna offer him. So so we said, hey, why don't

257
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: you come over to during this time of the year,

258
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you come over to Georgia Tech. Will sit

259
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: down with you and your mom, we'll talk about Georgia Tech.

260
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: The kid shows up with a with a pillow case

261
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: fill filled with trophies. So he said, you guys don't

262
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: want to offer me in scholarship and he dumps all

263
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: his trophies on the floor and he's got like, you know,

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: his trophies from like the sixth grade all the way

265
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: through to his you know, he's going into his senior Europe.

266
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: I was like, we gotta offer this just on that alone,

267
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: we gotta offered this kid a college. We did offer him,

268
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and he went on to be a great player at

269
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. Oh that's good. You know, that's good. That's

270
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: that's dry, that's creative. It is still not Derek Evans,

271
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: who has the all time greatest signing Day episode. If

272
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: you don't remember the name Derek Evans, he was on

273
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: the Dallas Carter team that was featured in Friday Night Lights.

274
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: He was the safety alongside Jesse Armstead. So Armstead has

275
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: one of those where he goes up and he's got

276
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: all his gear on. He leaves the press conference, comes

277
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: back and he's wearing all Miami gear. Derek Evans is like,

278
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: hold my beer. Derek Evans is in a hot tub

279
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: with cycling gear, you know, like a cycling spandex gear.

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: He's got like a mister T starter kit in a

281
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: hot tub and he's like, Yo, I'm signing with Tennessee.

282
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: And he comes out of the water signs, goes to Tennessee.

283
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: Three months later, he's arrested, spends ten years in jail

284
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: for armed robbery and never even got the ten Yeah,

285
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: but that's the best. That's the best signing is in

286
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: the hot tub in nineteen eighty eight. He set the

287
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: bar and nobody's ever passed. I'm very happy, coach, who's

288
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: the best college football player you've coached against? Because you

289
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: coached college football for a long time, So I know

290
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: you've seen a bunch of good ones. I mean, yeah,

291
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Um. You coached against a lot

292
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: of those Miami kids at the Gator Bowl, right, Yeah,

293
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean I was on that game we coached against.

294
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, Vince Wilfork was on that team. Dan Morgan

295
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: the linebacker was on that team. Webster at a big

296
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: game Webster. Yeah, well, I mean a coach against Braxton

297
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: Miller State. Wow, I mean he tore us up my

298
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: first year at Penn State. Um. I mean that's a

299
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: hard question to say, like one guy over another. I

300
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: mean if I mean, if you go back to the

301
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: great Florida State teams, Uh, the defensive ends that they

302
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: had throughout the years there that we coached against, Corey

303
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: Simon on the inside, I mean we I mean it's

304
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: hard to say. Like that ninety nine State team you

305
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: coached again, Yeah, it was one of the great games

306
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: that year when you guys played them Tallahassee. Yeah, we

307
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: played the year before ninety eight. We played him down

308
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: there with Joe Hamilton and we it was I think

309
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: it was like forty five to thirty eight. They beat us.

310
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: We were running the wish bonone. We were doing all

311
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: kinds of things, but they had great players. It'd be

312
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: hard for me to say like one guy over another.

313
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: It is tough to narrow it down considering all the

314
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: greats that coach has coached against and coached throughout his

315
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: coaching career. But fun stuff. I love that Adam Joe's story.

316
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: We just we laughed on and off there when we

317
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: were talking about that. When we get back, we'll talk

318
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the US Open. Yeah, coach

319
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: loves his golf in the US Open just took place,

320
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: uh not this past weekend, but the weekend before. And also,

321
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: who was coach's favorite college player of all time? That's

322
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: pretty easy if you think about where he grew up.

323
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: Talk about that and then some of the coach Bill

324
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: o'brin right here in Texans Access. It is an extra

325
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: special Monday edition of Texans All Access from the Hunday

326
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Ayris, football

327
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Anistan side and reporter for your Houston Texas. And why

328
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: is it extra special? Well, we had head coach Bill

329
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: O'Brien a studio with us for this entire hour, everything

330
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: but the Texas. This annual tradition we get a chance

331
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: to talk sports. Coach said at one point that he

332
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: wanted to be or would have wanted to be in media.

333
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Love sports, said he and Doug Monroe, we're gonna do

334
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: a radio show if this whole coaching thing didn't work out.

335
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: But I would think the coaching thing has worked out

336
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: for both of them. So those have to meet on

337
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: the field. They'll do their radio show podcasts somewhere down

338
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: the road. So we love doing this show because we

339
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: talked about literally everything but the Texans. He had a

340
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: couple of things pop up throughout this hour that dealt

341
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: with some things in the NFL and a couple of

342
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: things that coach learned from various coaches he's been around,

343
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: including Bill Belichick. But one of the topics that you

344
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: know tugs in my heartstrings is college football. And we

345
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: had left the last segment talking about players that coach

346
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: had coached or coached against, who was the best he'd

347
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: ever coached against. Started this segment with, well, who's his

348
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: favorite all time college football player? Who's your favorite though,

349
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: not that you coach necessarily, but your all time favorite

350
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: college football player? Do you have one? Is it fluty

351
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: or I'm like I'm like reeling it in here. No,

352
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: I mean I love Fluty, So I mean I was there,

353
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: not there, but I saw him. You know that that

354
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: Miami pass. My dad and I were watching that. You

355
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: know what was that was that the day after Thanksgiving,

356
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: day after Thanksgiving, so we're eating Thanksgiving left doors, and

357
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: my dad's the exact opposite of me, like very low key,

358
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: very not emotional. That's one of the few times, other

359
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: than when Fisk hit the home run and seventy five yea,

360
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: other than that, when my dad just let loose like

361
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. So and and the year before we

362
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: had gone no that year they still played Holy Cross, right,

363
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: and the last game of the season, and we went

364
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: to the Holy Cross game at fitting Field, and there

365
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: was a helicopter came in to fly him to the

366
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: Heisman ceremony. Right, that was cool. I was you know

367
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: what was I twelve thirteen years old then or something

368
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: like that, So that was that was awesome. So yeah,

369
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean maybe growing up that was definitely my favorite

370
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: college football player. But now having coach college for a

371
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: long time, I have my own guys that I coached

372
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: at my favorites, which I wouldn't want to you know,

373
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: get into I mean I had so many good guys

374
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: at Penn State really, to be honest with that, which

375
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: was my first head coaching, it'd be hard to put

376
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: anybody over some of those guys. You know, I always

377
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: think that in this business the people that you were

378
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: a fan of before you got into the business. Otherwise

379
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: you get star struck over. Do you find out? Oh yeah,

380
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: true as well because relationship with these guys. When the

381
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: when the Super Bowl was here, my wife and I

382
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: were out to dinner somewhere over here in Rice Village

383
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: and uh and the guy that we ran a restaurant

384
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: or whatever came over and said, hey, coach, you know

385
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Doug Flutie's here. I was like, well, I gotta meet

386
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Dug Flutie. He was like two tables over. So the

387
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: first time I really ever met him. Wow. Yeah, I

388
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: think I had met him like briefly one time in

389
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: New England, but he didn't play in New England when

390
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: I was coaching there. I played like right before. So yeah,

391
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. That's a guy that you remember

392
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: growing up. It was cool to meet him. What was

393
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: what's been your best Uh? Like meeting a celebrity or

394
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: somebody recognized your story kind of out of the blue,

395
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: like maybe somebody you you've known and they walked up

396
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: to you like, Hey, Bill O'Brien, I'm such and such.

397
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Have you Have you had that kind of situation where

398
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: somebody's introduced themselves to you or you met a celebrity

399
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm laughing because it's happened, you know, quite

400
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: a bit, which yeah, almost You've known me for thirty years,

401
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: so you know how ridiculous that is. But but I

402
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: met so we were at LTMPO, I don't know a

403
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: few years ago, might have been the Super Bowl again

404
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: during that when all the stars were here, you know,

405
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: And so what Colin and I are eating dinner and

00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was. I met Rudy. No, but I

409
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: really the people that I've enjoyed meeting are like, uh,

410
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, meeting President Bush. You know, you know, those

411
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: those types of people and then you go back and

412
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: you you're researching and you think about their lives, especially

413
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: a guy like President Bush. Talking about forty forty one

414
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: who lives here in Houston. He's he's an amazing guy.

415
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: And so I never had the honor of meeting Barbara Bush. Yeah,

416
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: but I met President Bush with mister McNair when when

417
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: I first got hired here. And that was very very cool.

418
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: That was that was pretty that was something I'll never forget.

419
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,720

00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: go to imbibe if you will. That's the only place.

457
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: And for my first year, probably your first couple of years,

458
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: it was closed and then they opened it back up

459
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: and we would go there periodically. And I remember going

460
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: in there one night and Rick Britten was there, Buddy Ricky,

461
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: and Rick was in there was like, yo, Buddy's over there,

462
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: and he was there all the time. And Buddy Siancey

463
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: was the Mayor of Providence. And this crime Town tells

464
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: the story essentially of Providence, of the patriarcha family, and

465
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: of Buddy Siancey. And so I've gotten through part one.

466
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: It's like twenty five minutes an episode, and it's fantastic.

467
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Like I was sold. Both Drew and Eric told me

468
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: like separately, you got it. You'll understand, You'll and I

469
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: was like, yeah. Siancey used to come to the Mayor

470
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: of Providence, two time mayor of Providence, the longest running.

471
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: He had one stint. He went to jail, and he

472
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: went to jail, and then he came back and won again.

473
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: He won his second probably getting out of jail. Yes,

474
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: crime Town, that's that's that's one. I think when you're

475
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: getting your interval training on, that's probably a good listen.

476
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: They've got all kinds of the first episode, they had interviews,

477
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: they pulled stuff off TV, they had seance speaking at

478
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: different things. I think you would really enjoy podcasts because

479
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: that's the way you can get a workout in listen

480
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: to and you know the reason taking time. So that'd

481
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: be a good podcast, and you're not listening to Texans Radio. Yes, okay,

482
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: of course, there's got to be a prior. I mean,

483
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, you guys do a lot

484
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: of different things, which is cool, you know, I mean,

485
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: I obviously you two guys, but yeah, well it's funny

486
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: because in this business I always say this. We go

487
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: seven months, the ball is not even snapped, and we

488
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: talk about the team for seven months. Yeah, and it's

489
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: no game action. I tell everybody that it's And I

490
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: love the Astros, I love baseball, but this is America's

491
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: game as the NFL. Yeah, I mean, people want this

492
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: info twenty four seven, three sixty five, you know, that's

493
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: the that's what this league's about our preseason games outrated

494
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals. That's great. I meant it shows.

495
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: It proves your point. You were talking about dinner dinner

496
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: with Colleen. You get a free dinner for four anywhere

497
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: you want, anywhere you want. You can invite three living people.

498
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: It's like having a foursome living people. Three living people, Okay,

499
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: living deet, all right, you get all right, extreme, it's

500
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: a pretty big pool. Now you get three people that

501
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: you bring with you to a dinner. You have a

502
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: quartet at dinner wherever you want. Who you bring in?

503
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: Who's your four? I would I would love to bring.

504
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: This will sound crazy to you in some ways, but

505
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: just because of the type of people, the diversity of people,

506
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: but I would love first I would bring Martin Luther King,

507
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: I would bring both President Bushes, and I would bring

508
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Wow, That's what I would bring. And I

509
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: think that would be very cool to get all the

510
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: different perspectives on the different errors and different you know,

511
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: all the different risks that all four of those people took.

512
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: And they all come from different backgrounds, have obviously different beliefs,

513
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: and but all four are very respected, you know, I think,

514
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: and well That's what I would That's what I would bring.

515
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: I've never met uh Bush forty one son um but

516
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: forty three and but I but I would like to

517
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: meet him. He's been here, I know. I just feel

518
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: like he'd be a cool guy to meet. Seems like

519
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: a very funny Yeah, funny guy. So yeah, those would

520
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: be the four I would say. Excellent. All right, let's

521
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: get into some other sports here for the moment. You've

522
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: mentioned before that the US Open is your favorite golf

523
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: tournament to watch. Uh, you would like the Majors, of course,

524
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: but you don't get to watch the PGA seasons going

525
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: on and Masters. You got other stuff going on, draft OTAs.

526
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: But US Open, you've said, memories of your dad and

527
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: you watching golf. Yeah, all right, So this past one

528
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: was it ridiculous to you? Or was that good watching

529
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: all the guys struggle and some guys having trouble breaking

530
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: eighty Yeah. I again, I'm gonna be honest about this

531
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: with you guys, because I thought it was awesome. And

532
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: the guys that just said, you know what, I'm gonna

533
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: figure this out were the guys that did well. Brooks

534
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Kepka said, well, I'm gonna figure this out. Yeah, I'm

535
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: not gonna complain about it. I'm gonna figure it out.

536
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: And and he won. The guy. I mean, I just

537
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: have never heard so many complaints about a golf course.

538
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: Like and I don't. Look, I'm not a I mean,

539
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: I golf. I'm terrible, but I and I get it.

540
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: But I mean, like, look like this is the national championship.

541
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: This is what it is. And so you're not gonna

542
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: win twenty under. You're gonna have to basically shoot even

543
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: part to win. And that's what Keepka did. And he

544
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: and if you watch Keepka the whole time, like I

545
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: love watching these guys because he really kept as cool.

546
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: He never the last hole when he hit it off

547
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: the grandstand, I was like, oh, he had a tough

548
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: chip because it was like a downhill, you know, the

549
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: green was sloped down on hill from where he was chipping. Man,

550
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: he nailed that chip. There was that part three two

551
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: where he overshot, he gets it to the bunker, but

552
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: he gets bogie. It was a big bogie at the time.

553
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, he never lost his composure. And

554
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I just I just thought that that was awesome And

555
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: I love watching that tournament. You know, just because of

556
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. I always think that's probably the

557
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: toughest golf course, and I mean the rough that they

558
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: had to hit. How about the one where they were

559
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: it was like Friday and they were looking for I

560
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: think it was Dustin Johnson's ball, and he's like, I

561
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: know it's right here. I know it's right here, and

562
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: there's like twenty people around that ball. It was texting

563
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: my dad, I'm like, this looks like us looking for

564
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: our ball. But is that kind of like the golf

565
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: equivalent of a snow game? In football? You know, you

566
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: have these games where and Joe Webb played in one

567
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: of those last year. You know, you're Joe Webb where

568
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: the conditions are so like the game plants compately thrown out.

569
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: You got to figure it out on the go. You

570
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. I mean, we've we haven't had

571
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: too many of those types of games here since I've

572
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: been here. But when I was in New England, we

573
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: had the game in Buffalo were sixty to seventy mile

574
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: an hour wins. We threw the ball maybe eight times,

575
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: and they were little flat passes to the fullback off

576
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: of play action. We ran the ball sixty five times

577
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: and beat the Bills like thirteen to ten. I mean

578
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: we had to change, you know, because of the weather.

579
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: And that was one thing that was probably one of

580
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: the of the thousand things I learned from Bill. That

581
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: was one of them. You know, like you just have

582
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: to be able to deal with the elements here. It's

583
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: hard because it's always hot here, so you're not dealing

584
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: with all the different snow and rain, you know, weatherwise.

585
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Outside you know, you deal with rain, but in plus

586
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: the fact here you're playing indoors half the season and

587
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: then you know, then you're playing up at Indie and

588
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: you're playing other indoor games during the season, so you're

589
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: really not playing outdoors that much until later in the

590
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: season sometimes. But we this year, you know, I think

591
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: we go to the East coast late, so we're gonna

592
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: have to deal with some elements four of them. Yeah altogether. Yeah,

593
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: we're at Eastern time. I think the entire road trip,

594
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: except for Denver and whatever Nashville, I think at that point. See,

595
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: like I said, a few NFL things, a few Texans

596
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: things did sneak in there in that segment, but not

597
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot. We get back. Would you rather win

598
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: the US Open or win the World Series individual versus

599
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: team last coach of Brian that next right here in

600
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: Texas Access. Man, it's just dawna me. It's Monday night.

601
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: So that means NFL Network Top one hundred Final ten players,

602
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: the top ten players in the league has voted on

603
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: by the players of the league. That is tonight. No

604
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: Texans in that group. Aaron Donald, Tom Brady, Levon, Bell

605
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: von Miller at all in the final ten. See how

606
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: they're ranked. Deandrey Hopkins top Texans came in at thirteen.

607
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: He was the top ranked AFC SAL player on NFL Network.

608
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: You can see how the top ten players in the

609
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: league and which ones the Texans will face this year.

610
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I know von Miller's one of them, Tom Brady is

611
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: one of them. Gosh facing Tom Brady yet again, it

612
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: should be a fun show. I love watching that show.

613
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: So you see the final ten tonight. Now let's get

614
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: back to our conversation with the head coach of the

615
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. One final segment and I asked this a

616
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: lot of times of people in sports, they're individual sports,

617
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: they're team sports. And I use the US Open in

618
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: the World Series as my examples, But essentially the question

619
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: that I had was would wouldn't would you rather win

620
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: an individual sport title or would you rather win a

621
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: team sports title. Here's a coach had to say. So,

622
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about the US Open. So I've always wondered

623
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: this because I've played on teams my entire life, but

624
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: I've always said, you know, winning an individual award would

625
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. So you can win one, either the

626
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: US Open or you can win a World Series. Which

627
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: one would you rather win? I'm a so I'm a

628
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: team sport guy, so I'm gonna say the World Series,

629
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: like I went, and I know this wasn't the World Series,

630
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: but I went to the Astros the other night when

631
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Bregman hit the buck off double off the wall. The

632
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: way that those guys celebrated winning that game like sent chills,

633
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: you know, down my spine. I just envisioned, you know,

634
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: our team Fairburn kicking a winning field goal, Watson throwing

635
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: a winning touchdown. Y. You know, I just envisioned our

636
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: team doing something like that. I just I just love

637
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: that about the team sports. I think when you win

638
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: a championship, I remember, like the guys. So I've been

639
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: to two Super Bowls lost them both. Nothing worse than that, really,

640
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: nothing worse than that. But that's what Charlie casually said.

641
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: They lost to the Raiders. He said, there's nothing worse

642
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: brope it off and they you'd rather lose the AC champion.

643
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: It's not good. So I don't know if I'd go

644
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: that far. I mean, the experience of being in the

645
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is great and all that, but but anyways,

646
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: that when the guys that were on our team that

647
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: had won championships, those teams have a bond that will

648
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: never be broken him. You know, we have. I have

649
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: a bond with a lot of guys here, you know,

650
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: just from coaching them and and working hard with them

651
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: and all the coaches, m players. You know that we'll

652
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: stay in touch the rest of our lives. Like, yeah,

653
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: I get that, But I mean I think a championship

654
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: team that bond has never broken. That that that that

655
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: team has brought back for reunions every year or every

656
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: five years, and you can only imagine what that would

657
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: be like in Houston, as you guys know. So, um,

658
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: I think the World Series I would vote for that

659
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: over over US open all right, sports on television after

660
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: you've won multiple Super Bowls and decide to hang them up.

661
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: You could be a television commentator in a studio setting

662
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: or in the broadcast booth doing games. What would you

663
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: do because obviously two very different things. What do you

664
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: think you'd want to do? So, I think what you

665
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: notice he didn't say play by play man either, No,

666
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that in mind. Yeah, I don't know.

667
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: I think that one of the things that, you know,

668
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: way down the road, that I would love to do,

669
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: and I used to talk to Matt Millen about this

670
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: at Penn State, was to do, like, you know, to

671
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: try to educate the fans on the game, you know,

672
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: so maybe one of those deals where you're drawn. I

673
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: remember watching like whether it was Gruden or I remember

674
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: another guy, Eric Mangini, did a good job of this,

675
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: you know, explaining what happened on that play, you know,

676
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: like Johnny and I do sometimes during the season, you know.

677
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I think that's where if you could really like teach

678
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: the fan, you know, kind of what's going on in

679
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: the game. I would love to do that. Being a

680
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: studio analyst or being a color commentary I think that's great,

681
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think I would be I wouldn't be

682
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: any good at that. So it's like you and Greg

683
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: cos Sell or something doing NFL matchup, Yeah, something like that.

684
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: You know, when you're explaining, hey, look this is what

685
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: this team's trying to do, and this is what I remember. Obviously,

686
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: I used to get mad because I would see, whether

687
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: it's Houston or New England, they would put like last

688
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: year with Watson. You know, you'd see those those types

689
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: of shows on one of those channels and and they'd

690
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: be dissecting our you know, a couple of our players.

691
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's what we're trying to do. You know,

692
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: you're like, j stop, can we stop doing that? But

693
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: I thought that, But I think that's good though. I

694
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: think that educates the fan on what they're looking at.

695
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: So was it surprising having gone through some production meetia

696
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: the last few years that Gruden went back to coaching.

697
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: And I asked that because when you're away from coaching,

698
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: some people I don't think understand this. They're like, why

699
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: would a guy go back to coaching? Why would he

700
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: go back to coaching. I'm like, look, when coaching, when

701
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: you get the bug, you'll it's never gone. Are you

702
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: surprised at all the Gruden went back to the Raiders. No, Um,

703
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: he being in the booth. When you've coached like he

704
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: did at the highest level on a super Bowl, it's

705
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: your game day is not the same, you know, And

706
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: it's in preparation and kind of getting in there and

707
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: grinding it out with the players and then winning games.

708
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Like there's no once you've done it. Once you've had that,

709
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: like you said, that's in your blood, it's hard to

710
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to give it up. You know. He was

711
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: away from it for whatever ten years and now he's

712
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: back into it, you know. He Uh, he's a great guy.

713
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed talking to him. Um, and I think

714
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: he'll do a great job there. So yeah, I was

715
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: in his blood. I'm sure he missed the competition, the

716
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: game day, calling plays, all the things that watching tape,

717
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: getting guys ready to play. But he missed it all right.

718
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: A few quick ones here Texas Barbecue or Text mex

719
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: Because you know you've come into the area fifth year

720
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: now and you've tried both well quite obviously, I love

721
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: both quite obviously. It's a tough call. It is the barbecue.

722
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm like down to a couple of places, whereas whereas

723
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: the Text Mex. I mean, I think there's several places

724
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: that are really good. Right. You know, you've got obviously

725
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: good company. You've got you know, l Timpo. I'm not

726
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: trying to plan. Yeah, yeah, you know, but I'm talking

727
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: about text man. You know. Then you've got Clona nine.

728
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: You know, you got some places in the barbecue maybe,

729
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: and I love barbecue. I'm not trying to I'm just

730
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: saying maybe one or two places, so I'd probably go

731
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: Tex Mex. Okay, like like the spicy stuff too, So

732
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: you do which I know you can get a barbecue too,

733
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: but when you do, barbecue is a breadth gate, is it? Rip?

734
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: Tell you a quick story. Yesterday we had a little league.

735
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: So this little league deal, like every night they got

736
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: an activity for these kids. Right, So they had like

737
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: a pool party at somebody's house. So those people they

738
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: they hired one of those taco makers, like those street vendors,

739
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: and they came over and the guy was made tacos

740
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: and you had all the toppings. I mean, it was

741
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: unbelievable with the different spices, toppings and in the guacamole.

742
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: There are people listening around Houston going, yeah, man, I

743
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: mean it. I've never seen anything like it. I know.

744
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: That's the thing when you when you have somebody that's

745
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: not not from here. I mean you've been here for years,

746
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: but to them, that's that's you know, that's kind of

747
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: like that's what you do. But you know, for somebody

748
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: that hasn't been I didn't. I never saw that before.

749
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: That's really cool. All right, let's let's talk about movies.

750
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: Best sports movie that you've seen, or if you've got

751
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: time to sit down and watch one sports movie, which

752
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: ones are gonna be? I'm watching Rocky one, the original. Yeah,

753
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm watching Rocky one. I'm watching Miracle, Miracle, I'm watching Um.

754
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: I mean, there's several others, but I'm watching. I mean,

755
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: my wife she, if she was sitting here, she would

756
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: tell you that Michael and I have probably watched Rocky

789

791
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: you met any of those guys, because a lot of

792
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: those guys were from Boston. Yeah. I got an autograph

793
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, but from Jim Craig. I

794
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: can't say that I met him. I mean I was

795
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: a kid. Um, I've met Mike Ruzione. He's he's always around, Yeah, Boston.

796
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: He came to a Patriots game. Um. My, My brother

797
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: Tom played midget hockey in in Situate, mass with Dave Silk.

798
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: Oh wow. I think Dave was a little bit older

799
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: than my brother, but they were in a similar unseen team.

800
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Wow wow. So when Bill O'Brien kids, when you're watching

801
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: Miracle and they get to the scene where he's making

802
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: them do the suicide's over and over and he thinking

803
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: again again, you cranjury, He said, yeah, make him do

804
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: it again. I cringe a little bit on that only

805
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: from what I know now, right, Okay. I think earlier

806
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: in my coaching career, I'd be like, yeah, you know,

807
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: they need to pay the price or whatever. But now

808
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: when I know about they had played the game and

809
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: then he made him do that, yes, yes, and so

810
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, they didn't play. Well, what a deal that one?

811
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: And then the Craig Ramsey's looking at him like, dude,

812
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: we gotta stop. We can't. Somebody's gonna, you know, pass out.

813
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: I think a great coaching team from that is when

814
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: they get the kid from Minnesota who joins him late

815
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: and he's really good, but they players are like IDL

816
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: doll And he said, now I got a team because

817
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: they voted him off. They want to be together. Yeah

818
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, right, Yeah he was. He was awesome

819
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: at you know, motivational tactics and just different things that

820
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: he did with that team. You know, he was great.

821
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: And his speech before the Russian game is the greatest ever.

822
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: Is the greatest ever? All right, So all right, one

823
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: more for you. It's a multiple choice. You have to

824
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: make one of these happening, I must make and you

825
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: get to choose one out of these four. A four

00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: foot put, not three, but four foot put, a free throw,

827
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,200

00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: high lechler pot, not a not a coffin corner, but

829
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: at nice high fifty yard pot. Or answer a random

830
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: Boston sports trivia question. One of those four you gotta

831
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: do it? What are you gonna pick? I'm gonna I mean,

832
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: I'd have to go with the last one. Answer a

833
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,479
Speaker 1: random bust. I mean, you know, I guess I could

834
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: catch the punt. I'm missing the put because I'm a

835
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: terrible putter. Did you say putt? Yeah? Four foot pot

836
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: is tough. I'm a bad putter. I mean, I'm just

837
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: not no for me. It is hey, ask fair I

838
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: can't hit the ball anywhere, but I can make a

839
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: four foot put. Ask fair bear at this question, he's

840
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: not picking the putt. I'm serious, Like, oh, kickers, no

841
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: free throw. I just played hoop last night at this

842
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: little league party I was at and I couldn't make anything,

843
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: so I'm not doing a free throw. Okay, Boston Sports

844
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: Trivia question. It is coach thankes a lot for the time.

845
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: We really appreciate that was great. Thanks guys. Me I

846
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: know it's gonna sound funny. I would catch you put

847
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: a shooting free throw. Although I'm one of the best

848
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: trivia sports trivia people you'll ever know, I get answer

849
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: a question about any sports trivia, but catch a punt.

850
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: I should do that in practice. Actually, with Bill O'Brien

851
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: watching used to catch him easy. That comes from years

852
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: of playing baseball. But shooting free throw, I'll shoot free

853
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: throws all day. I'm not gonna free throw down I got.

854
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: I got no problems with that. I think the four

855
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: foot pull would be easy, but then again, I don't know.

856
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: Maybe not depends. I thought it would be easy, but

857
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: that's just me now. I can't do anything else in

858
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: a golf course. I can put. I can do that,

859
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: that's not a problem, But any of those I probably

860
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: would put the trivia question last, even though that's probably

861
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: my strength at this point, being all of about eighty

862
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: six years old. So anyhow, big thanks to Bill O'Brien

863
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: for hopping in here and spending an hour with us.

864
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: That was fantastic stuff. He's been on a triple threat lately.

865
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: Head I think he did an hour with Triple Threat

866
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: on Friday with them, talked a lot about the Texans,

867
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: and we get a chance to do that with him

868
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: throughout the year and all that kind of stuff, so

869
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 1: we catch up with him and all that stuff throughout

870
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: the season. So it was good to catch up with

871
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: him with everything other than the Texans on this show.

872
