1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, looking the ball, diving for the pylon

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: that he's got it. Razzle dazzle, touchdown the Gustans and

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: the Texans go in front. There is no off season

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: for your buston Texans game day. He's every day. We

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of energy and we brought a lot

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: of spark for this organization. Five nights a week, they

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: hits keep on coming out. The Texans say they have it,

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: and they do No, it's Texans all excess. Hello Jacksons,

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: and welcome to the show. Mark Vandimer with you and

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: John Harris is joining us tonight. Of course, Johnny, we

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: have a test. We got a deal. It's done. League

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Players Union they inked a deal today. I don't know

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: if they used actual inc but they agreed to terms.

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Do they docu saw it? I wonder how they actually

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: do that, but anyway, they agreed to terms on how

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: training camp, how the protocols are gonna go for this year,

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: salary cap all of it. It's great news because I

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: got to admit the back of my mind I was thinking,

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: and look, COVID could still derail this whole thing, obviously,

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: but in the back of my mind I was thinking oh,

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: we don't get a deal here. This is can't he

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: can't get the first base, you know, but now you're

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna get the first base here. And to use an

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: analogy from another sport, and you can at least take

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: a test drive during the training camp period, get to

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: the starting line, see how it goes. We're all just

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: praying it goes well because the numbers for the positives,

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: even the hospitalizations. I was watching that curve and it's

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: kind of curving back up a tinge the last couple

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: of days. I got to hope that somehow this thing

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: flattens out, and you know from a football context that

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you can play football from a life context, that the

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: thing flattens out and you know, goes into the ground.

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: So pretty much, Yeah, I mean, you hit it. I

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: mean we we've talked about that since March, probably like

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: March fourteenth, I think or fifteenth, somewhere in that time frame.

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: And I you know, you just never know with this

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: whole thing. When you know when you're gonna feel like

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: a million bucks and when you're gonna feel like, oh,

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean last night, my daughter poor, I just feel

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: for her. I mean, she's a senior. It's our senior year,

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and everything has just gone to to you know what,

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: and she's lost so many things. And then graduations supposed

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: to be Saturday, and of course now the hurricane's gonna

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: hit and we're gonna get a bunch of rain, so

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: then they moved it to Sunday, and like, oh my gosh.

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: But then today she woke up and she made contact

48
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: with somebody that was potentially looking for somebody for a film,

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: and she was interested, and all of a sudden, it

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: just kind of changed her world. And that was kind

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: of the way that I felt mark with this whole uh,

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, with this whole thing, because I kind of

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: waited for days, like, gosh, we're gonna have a season.

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: It didn't look good. You had to tweet storm on Sunday.

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: And it's like, man, I do what you and I do?

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: You know for me grown up as a coach's kid,

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: a foot head coach, you know of football. I mean,

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: I've been around a sideline my entire life like we

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: can have that. I've never I've never not had that

60
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: in my life, Like what I mean, holy count. And

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: then you see things happening today that can at least,

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: like you said, get us get us at least out

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: of the driveway, and we'll see, obviously we can navigate

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: the traffic with all that's gone on. But first and foremost,

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: as we have said the entire time, football will always

66
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: take a back seat to everybody's health, getting people back healthy,

67
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: doing what it is that they do, living their lives

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: like they're supposed to. But that's obviously first and foremost,

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: and it's first and foremost for our players, for organization,

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: for the fans, for the people in our community, and hopefully,

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: like you said, those things can come down. I saw

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: something today I can't remember who I saw a tweeted

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: saying that hospitalizations they gone down, and you know, beds

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: available have gone up, and those kind of things are

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: good news. And look, we'll look for good news anywhere

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: we can, where we can find it, where we can

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: find it, and for the NFL today seemingly was some

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: good news. And you know, look, do you want to

79
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: see the salary cap go down in twenty twenty one? No,

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: but they came to an agreement on how they're going

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: to be able to navigate it, and now teams can

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: start making decisions about what they've got to do in

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one going forward, and I mean that's that's

84
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: in the future, but it's something that you've got to

85
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: be cognizant of now as you head into twenty twenty

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: with where you are, contracts, all that kind of stuff.

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: So the good news is the NFL and nfl PA,

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: like you said, shook hands, high five, you know, fake

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: air five, fake tug, whatever they did, they zoom, called

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: high five, whatever, But they got it done and agreed

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: to and so now we move forward, and now we

92
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: put the plan in place, the health plan, what happens

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: when guys tests positive, what happens when this, what happens

94
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: when that, What about this? What about that? And hopefully

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: we'll be able to play ball start in September tenth,

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: which would be kind of nice on Thursday night. All right.

97
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Cap stays at one hundred ninety eight million. The salary

98
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: cap remains the same for this season. For next season,

99
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: it can go no lower than one hundred and seventy

100
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: five million. That's a big dent right there. But if

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: revenue turns out to be a little bit better than

102
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: they thought for whatever reason, you know, maybe fan capacity increases,

103
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: COVID calms down in certain areas, however you want to

104
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: slice that, it can go up from one seventy five.

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: But they set a floor of one hundred and seventy

106
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: five million for next year. That's going to be a

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: very touchy situation for a lot of teams who are

108
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: up against it already as far as twenty twenty one.

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: But they'll deal with it. That right there, Johnny's certainly

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: worth watching. And look, I don't know if they can

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: change that going in the next year based on what

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: happens this year, because that that floor they said it

113
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: might be ambitious considering what the league is losing, but

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with it for now. Yeah, And you know,

115
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: it's interesting you you bring it up that way, mark,

116
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: because there are a few teams that probably need that

117
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: number to move. The fedelph Eagles just looking at somebody

118
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: had posted some of the contracts and things that they

119
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: have going into twenty twenty one, it's like, oh my god,

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: holy cow. My immediate thought was, Okay, now that you

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: know this, you know this about twenty twenty one, you

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna spread it out all the you know,

123
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: for the four years, so there's going to be impact

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: on the salary cap. How does that impact Sean's upcoming

125
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: contract because when I don't know what when that came out,

126
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: there was a rumor I think PFT had something that

127
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: Deshan was looking for a three year deal, which is

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of the Russell Wilson model. Look, you're kind of

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: every three four years, kind of see where you are

130
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: though after your extension, right, three year extension. But his

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: thought has always been, you know, Russell Wilson, it's like

132
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: a play three four years because see where I am,

133
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: kind of keep moving myself back up in the top five,

134
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks up to number one. Then guys get

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: contracts above me. I keep moving back after three to

136
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: four years. And then you see Patrick do this with

137
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: his ten year deal, and you go, okay, it's a

138
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: different philosophy. And when you look at the cap hit

139
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: for the first couple of years that they almost kind

140
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: of built in COVID nineteen into this seemingly because they

141
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: they had the first two years where the cap hit

142
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: is very very big, low, like HiT's almost backup quarterback low.

143
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: But then in twenty twenty three then it starts really

144
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: hammering them a little bit. So we'll see how the

145
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs have to adjust, and the Texans have not got

146
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: a deal done with the Shaun and I don't know

147
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: how this is going to play into it. I'm sure

148
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: they probably have looked at a lot of different scenarios

149
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: in their discussions, but I would imagine this is gonna

150
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: have to play in because if he signs a deal

151
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson got, then it's gonna take up a

152
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: significant portion of that one seventy five in twenty twenty one.

153
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: If it's more kind of a Patrick deal where it's

154
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: a little bit longer but the first few years to

155
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: kind of navigate the salary cap drop in COVID nineteen world,

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: then maybe it'll end up being Okay, we'll see. Yeah. Well, look,

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: you could always say that it doesn't kick in until

158
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: year six for him, right, and you give him a

159
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: signing bonus that hits you this year and maybe a

160
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: little bit next. I don't know. They're a different way. Look,

161
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: there's ways you can do it. You're absolutely dead on mark.

162
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: But what you can't have is like Philadelphia, where they

163
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: they went all in over seventeen and eighteen to get

164
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: to a point where they felt like they were gonna

165
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: be able to manage this thing in twenty twenty. Mark,

166
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's crazy what they're gonna have to

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: do with the players that they have. If the the

168
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: sour cap is indeed one hundred and seventy five, Look

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: it was even stayed flat at one ninety eight, they

170
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: were gonna have to cut five, six seven names that

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, or renegotiate. It's, man, It's it's gonna be tough. Now.

172
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: There are some teams like the Colts who Ballard doesn't

173
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: pay anybody, but DeForrest Botner, you don't by anybody. So

174
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: they're just sitting there going, yeah, you guys can all

175
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: come here. I don't know. Maybe he saw COVID in

176
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: the distance. I'm sure the NFL analysts would love to

177
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: tell you that about Ballard because everybody loves him. But

178
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: the fact is there are some teams they are sitting

179
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: in good shape. Honestly, Mark, I think the Texans are

180
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: probably in decent shape. They'll have to make some moves.

181
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: There might be some things they're not gonna be able

182
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: to do, but I think they'll get the deal done

183
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: with the Sean. They'll have Ry, they'll have he and

184
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: Larrmy locked up for a while. They have the offensive

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: line together for a while. We'll have some decisions to

186
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: make on receivers in due time, but you know, I

187
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: think as far as twenty twenty goes, they'll rock on

188
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: and see where they are and what they're gonna all. Right,

189
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: other things about the agreement today between the NFLPA and

190
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: the National Football League to make sure they can get

191
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: started playing football here twenty twenty, the practice squad will

192
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: go up to sixteen players, and four are protected. So

193
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: that means, let's say you put Magoo, he's the third

194
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: string quarterback, on the practice squad, you can protect him.

195
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: You can protect a quarterback, so you can stash a

196
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: quarterback on the practice squad, put him in that four

197
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: protected number. That means no other team can come get them.

198
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: So usually with a practice squad, you can sign anybody

199
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: from anybody's practice squad, but you have to sign them

200
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: to your active roster. Well, now you can't touch the

201
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: protected four among that sixteen, so really you get two

202
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: additional regular practice squad guys, and then you get four

203
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: more protected, which really means, Johnny, the roster goes to

204
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: fifty seven players. That means and that's a good thing,

205
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: but it's really, it's not a fifty seven player roster

206
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: in that you can't just decide on Sunday morning to well,

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: you could actually to put that practice squad player on,

208
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: but you have to sign them to the active roster.

209
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a contract situation. Whereas you're fifty three,

210
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: you dress forty six. You just sit guys down. You

211
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: don't have to make that decision till minutes before ten

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,359
Speaker 1: thirty for a typical moon start. So I found that interesting.

213
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: We we hypothesized about that you gotta have extra players

214
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: to get through this thing. Yes, you do. And now

215
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: think about it, Johnny, you could have four additional or

216
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, just bring four additional offensive linemen and another

217
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: quarterback and you know, like we were joking, those guys

218
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: are the most important obviously, everybody else you can kind

219
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: of mess around with as far as subbing in. I

220
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: like this move. I think it was utterly necessary. I

221
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: think everybody has to agree that it's a good thing

222
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: relative to the times we're living in. Yeah, that's there's

223
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: no question. That's the That's the thing to me when

224
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: I when I saw a practice squad going up and

225
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: then you pretend four guys, well, that's that's always worry. Uh.

226
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: You know with with Alex McGoo. You know, one of

227
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: the things about the last oh, I don't know how

228
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: many how many weeks magoo was on the on the

229
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. The worry was is if you

230
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: if you to get a guy to the practice squad

231
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: under the old rules, you he was on your fifty three.

232
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Now you gotta move you want to move him to

233
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the practice squad, Well, it's a two step process. First

234
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: of all, you have to waive him, then subject subject

235
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: him to waivers. When any team at that point gets go,

236
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: who will take him? Um, Because technically you have to

237
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: release that player, waive that player. If he clears waivers,

238
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: then you can bring him back to your practice squad.

239
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: At that point, Well, there's no guarantee with a guy

240
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: like Alex McGoo, especially when we were I think Jacksonville,

241
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: Uh when foul was a foals got hurt or something.

242
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is doing something going on with Jacksonville's quarterback situation.

243
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: And he had been with Jacksonville I think in the

244
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: training camp time, and it was like, man, you can't

245
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: subject him to waivers because somebody's gonna snap him up.

246
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: So you have to keep him on the fifty three.

247
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of want to see the mechanics of

248
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: it that if you protect a guy, say he's on

249
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: your fifty three man roster, and you're like, you know what,

250
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: we really need room for somebody else in the fifty three.

251
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Is he protected when he goes through the waiver process,

252
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Like you can just bypass the waiver process and just

253
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: go right straight through practice squad. That's gonna be the

254
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: key to me is whether you can. If you can

255
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: do that, oh man, then then that's that's what you

256
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: do with your third quarterback. You put your third quarterback

257
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: on that on that practice squad group, and you just bypassed.

258
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to carry him on the fifty three.

259
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: It opens you up to carry another player on the roster.

260
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: You don't have to carry the third quarterback, and then

261
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: you protect that quarterback on the practice squad. I mean,

262
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: it's it's perfect. It's not great for the third quarterback,

263
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: but it's a way in which you can maintain continuity

264
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: if you liked obviously the three guys that you have,

265
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: and I would think the Texans do with the Sean

266
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: aj and with Magoo. So it's that's the piece. I'd

267
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: like to see whether that's because if you're subject to waivers,

268
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: I would think that's what it's gonna do. It's gonna

269
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: protect you from the waiver process. That that's my that's

270
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: my hunch. It has to. It has to. It makes

271
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: no sense. You should be able to name as you

272
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: name your fifty three, here are our four protected, and

273
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: then the other twelve slots you have to you know,

274
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: throw cast you to the wind and waive them and

275
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: try to get them back, right. I think it's got

276
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: to be. It's gotta go like that. And everybody who said, well,

277
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough year for you know, no

278
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: preseason games for the rookies for uh, you know, undrafted

279
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: free agents rather people trying to hang on. Yes, it

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: will be. But there that that many more jobs six

281
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: per team, Yeah, that more that that many more jobs

282
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: out there to try to just make an impression, maybe contribute,

283
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: maybe ultimately play, and you'll be able to spend time

284
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: with the team. And the check is pretty good if

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: you're on the practice squad, I mean you're making six figures.

286
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: It's not a bad deal, especially if you're trying to

287
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: catch on. So that's good stuff. To get your salary.

288
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that Mark Ye not to teach

289
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: you salary. I can high falutin published professor with tenure.

290
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Actually there's no tenure. There's no they would take tenure.

291
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: There's no tenure. Here. Here's another question I got. I

292
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: got a question. This is okay, you you have not

293
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:40,239
Speaker 1: taken over as head coach of the Texans. Oh yeah, okay.

294
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: How do you handle this with undrafted free agents, younger

295
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: players and the like? In practice? I know that you've

296
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: got to get your You gotta get your ones ready.

297
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: You gotta get your guys ready. I mean, Kansas City

298
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: right out the shoot. You gotta be ready. It won't

299
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: matter who it was, whether it was the Washington football

300
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: team or is the Kansas City Chiefs. I just wanted

301
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: to say, watching football team to make sure I could

302
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: do it, or the Eagles or whomever. It doesn't matter

303
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: who it is. You gotta get your guys ready. But

304
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: she also, from an analysis standpoint, you've got to see

305
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: what you got because here's the other thing about not

306
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: having preseason games. You don't see what everybody else has.

307
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: You have no idea. One of the things about joint practices,

308
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: and the preseason game is you've got a long look

309
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: at guys in those camps, and you're not gonna have

310
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: that now. You won't have that in preseason games. You

311
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: won't have that in joint practices, so you need a

312
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: long look at those guys. I would imagine if would

313
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: you as head coach. I think if I were you,

314
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: and I'm making you the head coach and get your opinion,

315
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I would have controlled scrimmages and I would kind of

316
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: cut the roster almost in half and say, these guys

317
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: are staying. We've talked about this twenty play scrimmage or

318
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: thirty play scrimmage or whatever it is, and we're putting

319
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: this in so we get an opportunity to look at

320
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: younger guys on this roster. This is how we're going

321
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: to replace in some sense, the preseason, the lack of

322
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: preseason games and the lack of joint practices. What would

323
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: you do? You know, it's funny because talking to some

324
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: guys at the University of Miami who played for Howard Schnellenberger,

325
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: they would play I forget what they would day they

326
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: did it on, but the scout teams would play a

327
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: game and the Scout teams. You know, we're talking about

328
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: this the other day about how freshmen there were playing

329
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: on special teams, and some of them were big names.

330
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: But that was back in the day before they had

331
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: all those great recruits. But they were a good team

332
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: under Schnellenberger. But they would have a game they called

333
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: the Toilet Bowl, and it was the Scout teams, the

334
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: Scout Team offense versus the Scout Team defense. And they'd

335
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: played the Toilet Bowl. And that was a game that

336
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: all the all the seniors and juniors and all the

337
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: upper classmen, the guys who were regular players, they would

338
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: be on the sideline going nuts watching these young bucks

339
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: on the Scout team go at it. Now, I don't

340
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: think you'd do that here. But as you say that,

341
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, you know, how you can divide things up.

342
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, you could ease not easy. You could run

343
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: two different practices, you know, one for the threes and

344
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: one for the ones and the twos. But ultimately is

345
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: that really doing you any good if you I think

346
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: what you'll see though, Johnny is players more distanced on

347
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: the field. But I think the bigger picture here is

348
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: you bring up the point of all points This is unprecedented. Now,

349
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: we talked about twenty eleven with no offseason program because

350
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: of the lockout, and then they got together and they

351
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: did what they did. We've never had it where there's

352
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: no preseason games and there's no fans of training camp.

353
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: If they were fans of training camp, stuff would leak

354
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: out phone video scouts disguised as oh yeah, I'm a

355
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: huge Eagles fan, but I'm really a scout for the

356
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: Giants taking video with his phone. You know, you'd have

357
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff happening. Now, what's gonna get out? Nothing,

358
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fresh opening night against Kansas City, all

359
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: the flim flam, dipsia doodle off, all those jet sweeps

360
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: and reverses and fake reverses. You can run all that stuff.

361
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: They have no idea. Now, they would have no anyway,

362
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't run that in the preseason. But it's

363
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: really a mystery, right, you're gonna see I mean, what

364
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: are they gonna do with Randall Cobb? What are they

365
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna do with Cooks? Cook's fuller and still is available

366
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: at the same time with Cobb and he's tighten, what

367
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: are they gonna do? So I think it's gonna be

368
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I don't know how you cut it

369
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: up in practice. All right, we'll get more into that.

370
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: I also want to give my review of what we

371
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: saw last night baseball start of ASTRO start tonight. What

372
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: was the TV experience? Like I watched NBA yesterday too,

373
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: because they're scrimmaging in their bubble and I've got some

374
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Plus tales from the booth, we'll hear

375
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: one at least from Johnny and one from me. Let's

00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: you're doing. As darkness is upon us, Johnny's a pretty

473
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: dark on the west side of town, because southwest side

474
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: of town it's you know, a little un unseasonably dark

475
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: for uh six twenty five at the summertime. I'm looking

476
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: over in your direction. Yeah, it's dark. It's coming this way.

477
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: It's coming this way. It's that because we're on the

478
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: dirty side of this thing, right is yeah, I mean

479
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: it sounds like I mean the the I saw a

480
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: report earlier today that said that the hurricane was actually

481
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna hit further south than they had initially expected. Then again,

482
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: if we're on the we're on the back side of

483
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: that thing, Um we're still gonna get it. We would

484
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: need it to go really really south, but um, you know,

485
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: it's late July and we got hurricane number what how

486
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: how many? Is this? Is this the second tropical storm

487
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: hurricane we've had in the last last couple of months.

488
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. Maybe, yeah, I guess I

489
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: remember a tropical storm hitting and we were all bracing for,

490
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of flooding. We didn't get a

491
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: whole lot, So hopefully that's what this is as well.

492
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: But yeah, obviously we I think we all, even three

493
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: years later, still have a little bit of Hurricane Harvey

494
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: PTSD so to speak. So yeah, still, and how am

495
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: I gonna walk by dog tonight? That's what I'm wondering. Yeah,

496
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: she's important to go out. Yeah, these are big problems. Okay,

497
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: So before we get to anything else football related, did

498
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: you watch anything last night? Did you watch some baseball?

499
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: Did you watch any basketball? I was watching NBA TV.

500
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: They had the Lakers and the MAVs and they were scrimmaging,

501
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: but they were the bubble, of course, so I checked

502
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: out that TV experience I watched. In fact, I turned

503
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: it on during one of the breaks near the end

504
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: of the show, just so I could have it on

505
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: my computer. And I was watching the Nationals and the Yankees,

506
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: and I liked the Nationals Yankees leaving the seats behind

507
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: home plate, just leaving them alone. And I'll be curious

508
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: to see what fan what what people think tonight watching

509
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: the Astros. Well, it was cardboard cutouts in the Crawford boxes. Um,

510
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: and then how that goes because I didn't like him

511
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: when I was watching the Korean Baseball League and didn't

512
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: really like him in Chevez Ravine, so I thought, But

513
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: I did. I did care for Nationals and Yankees though

514
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: that was that was just it was live sports again

515
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: and I'm watching I'm watching, you know, real baseball players,

516
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: real professionally, Aaron Judge, Gen Carlos Stanton. I'm watching those guys, Max,

517
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer's pitching, Garrett Cole's pitching. I thought it was good.

518
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: I thought it was good. Yeah, I enjoyed. I did

519
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: too what I saw of it. But I agree, the

520
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: cardboard cutouts aren't cutting it for me, especially with the

521
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: white outline of the people themselves. It looked like they

522
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: were like little angels or something. These people have gone

523
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to heaven and we're honoring them. They're no longer with us.

524
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: It looked like something like that, and then somebody tweeted

525
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: the look from behind and it looks like gravestones or something.

526
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: It just didn't work for me. And I know people

527
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: pay for that, so good for you, but I don't

528
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: know that that was not a good look. I think

529
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: the NBA. Now, the NBA is a significant advantage here.

530
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: It's a basketball floor, it's a smaller space. You can

531
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: really decorate it, and it's not going to look the

532
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: way it normally looks during a game, no question about that.

533
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: But the way they're doing things in the bubble with

534
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers had there. It was a home game for them,

535
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: home scrimmage, so they have video boards all along the

536
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: opposite side from where the camera is, so they just

537
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: say Lakers, Lakers all over the place. And then you

538
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: have the bench is, which are more like soccer benches

539
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: and are all spread out, so it felt like there

540
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: were some people around, you know, and they have fake

541
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: crowd noise. And I asked Dave Kenney, who's our Texans

542
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: preseason TV producer who also does the MAVs. I said, well,

543
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: what did you guys do? Is that crowd noise? Are

544
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: you piping that into the broadcast? He said that was

545
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers piping that in. We didn't pipe anything, and

546
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: they did it online yesterday. It wasn't even on TV.

547
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: That wasn't a real game. And he said, there is

548
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: noise in the building, but it's not much. And you

549
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: know they're gonna rely on the broadcast to pick how

550
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: they want to deal with it. The fake crowd noise

551
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: is Johnny, I don't like it. I don't like fake

552
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: crowd noise. Well, you have always you've got an ear

553
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: for things like sometimes you'll listen to a segment of

554
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: the show and you'll tell me, like, what was it bad?

555
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Maybe a bad edit that it did or that was

556
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: not the right edit, or you can like sense things

557
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: that don't fit together or don't sound right. Meanwhile, me,

558
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm just lucky to hear it because I'm deaf in

559
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: one ear, so I'm just lucky that I heard it.

560
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: But I what was I watching? Um? I was I

561
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: may have been a baseball game and they the crowd

562
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: there was a strikeout at the end the inning and

563
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: they had a crowd cheering, and I was kind of like,

564
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just didn't know whether whether I

565
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: like that or not. So I'll be curious. You've seen

566
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: this whole the Fox Sports thing about it. They're gonna

567
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: put virtual people in the stands. Don't like it. Don't

568
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: like it. I'd rather decorate the way the NBA is doing.

569
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I saw this when I was watching

570
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: the basketball tournament, that tournament on ESPN, that twenty four teams. Yeah,

571
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: I liked the way they did it. I thought that's

572
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: not a bad look. And the NBA is more money, obviously,

573
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: so they're going with electric video boards, electronic boards where

574
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: you can change the logos out because they're all gonna

575
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: share floors. You know, I don't know how many floors

576
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: they have there in the bubble, but I assume it's

577
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: more than one. So I thought they did it well.

578
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: I know the NFL, it's brutal. You get a seventy

579
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: thousand seat stadium, but you're gonna have some fans. And

580
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: I've also watched the Skeeters games or whatever that league is,

581
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: that four teams set up they put in for this time,

582
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: and I think it. You know, it doesn't look unbelievable.

583
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: It's minor league baseball, and fans are scattered everywhere. They're

584
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: socially distanced, but it looks real because it is real

585
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: fans are watching a game and there aren't that many,

586
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: and you get it because it's COVID, and you just

587
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: get over It's kind of like your point about the

588
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: Nats and the Yankees. You know, you kind of get

589
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: over it because you understand what it is. I know

590
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: it's not gonna look ideal, but this pretending stuff. And

591
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: then let's say this, Johnny. Let's say Fox on their

592
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: NFL games, they throw in the digital fans, right, all right,

593
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: good for you to just to fill in the gaps.

594
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: I doubt NFL Films does that, and that's where you're

595
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: gonna see all the highlights, right. NFL Films is not

596
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna throw in digital fans. They don't even have the

597
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: technology to do it on the spot. They'd have to

598
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: do it in post production. So you're right. I do

599
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: think about this stuff way too much. Maybe I shouldn't

600
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: talk about it, but that's what I do. I like

601
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: here to talk about because it makes me think about things. Huh.

602
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about that. I just this is.

603
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: This is. You know, there are some bells and whistles

604
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm okay with, but for me, it's just always about

605
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: the game. Just give me the game, talk about the game,

606
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: give me the things about the game, and that's that's

607
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: what I you know, But I think it's gonna be

608
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. You know, in the NFL with the first

609
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: eight rows that teams are gonna have to tarp off

610
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: and what teams can do with that, and this is

611
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: where Premier League. I was very interested to see how

612
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: they were gonna do it and what they were gonna do.

613
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: And the Premier League teams used kind of a mix.

614
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: There would be some ads that they would have on

615
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: tarps and then they would have you know, their their

616
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: their COVID logo, we're really not here. Then they would

617
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: have like an ad at the hat or whatever it

618
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: might be. Then they had rolling ads on this, you know,

619
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: on the boards along the sidelines, you know, as they

620
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: do a soccer game, they had those of rolling but

621
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: the tarps they would have some ads on there as well.

622
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Now the NFL does not have the rolling ads on

623
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: the sideline. So you know, I read today where Delta

624
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: because Delta you could see clearly when you're watching the

625
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: Nats and Yankees all those seats. I don't know what

626
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: they call it, but it's Diamond Club here in Houston

627
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: but those areas that would be the Diamond Club. You

628
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: never know who sponsors that because there's always people sitting there.

629
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: Well last night you found out well that Delta because

630
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: it was prominent. And if I'm if I'm a ball club,

631
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you want that's pretty good real estate

632
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: right there. That's maybe where you can get back a

633
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: little bit of the money that you're gonna end up

634
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: losing in this thing. So it's it looked it's gotta

635
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: get creative. Greg Grisson would tell you that you know that,

636
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: you you know, you know sales. You've got to find

637
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: ways to make some money, and that might be a

638
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: great opportunity to say, hey, I don't know, h B.

639
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: Scott mcclellen, you want from the ten to the thirty

640
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: of these eight? You want that? All right? Good? It

641
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: is what it'll cost you. So I think there's gonna

642
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: be ways that teams can do it and do it creatively.

643
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: But sometimes, you know, the fake fans, the fake noise,

644
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's a little bit much. The

645
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: thing is, we haven't seen football in this, you know,

646
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: COVID environment, So I'm curious to see how that's gonna

647
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: look and what that's gonna look like. But that's the

648
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: one that strikes, you know, close to our hearts, and

649
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll just do it right, show some restraint and

650
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: just give the game. That's what the fans want to

651
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: see anyways, to just give them the game. Johnny All,

652
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 1: this reminded me of something that I'd like to call

653
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: tales from the Tales from the booth. Okay, so watching

654
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: baseball last night without fans reminded me of broadcasting games

655
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: at Fenway Park without fans. Now, the reason this happened

656
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: is because some of you might have heard of this

657
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: tournament called the Bean Pop, which is a hockey tournament

658
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: at Boston. It's huge. Boston University, Harvard, Northeastern, and Boston College,

659
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: those four getting together and they play semis and a

660
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: championship in a consolation game. They might not play the

661
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: consolation game anymore, but it's huge. They sell out the garden.

662
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: It's big, it's big. Well, they came up with a

663
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: baseball bean Pop, but nobody went because I don't know,

664
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: it's college baseball up north and nobody cares. So hockey

665
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: was huge. I mean, I went to Boston University, was

666
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: a hockey school very you know, they're good and some

667
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: other things from time to time, but it's a hockey school.

668
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: So I once called when I was voicing you Mask.

669
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: You Mask was in that bean pop because why oh

670
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: BU didn't have Boston University didn't have a baseball team.

671
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: They actually did once the bottom time, but they filled

672
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: it with it was a fully funded baseball team. So

673
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: he had like nine scholarships and they all went to

674
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: hockey players who pretended to be on the baseball team.

675
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: They got busted by the NCAA. Yeah, it's like, wait

676
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: a minute, you're not really a baseball player. If you

677
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: joined the team in May, Okay, and the and up north,

678
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: the season's over by them, Okay. But anyway, uh, you Mask.

679
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: There was a no hitter I called a no hitter

680
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: at Fenway Park, oh Man, but nobody was there. It

681
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: was like a family and friends college baseball. It was

682
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: you Mask versus I think it was Northeastern and you

683
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: know there. I was in the booth Fenway Park, and

684
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: it was awesome to be there, don't get me wrong,

685
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: but it was just weird calling a game with no

686
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: fans where a kid is throwing a no hitter. And

687
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: that was very fun but uh but just bizarre and

688
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: seeing those highlights last night as like, why is this

689
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: eerily familiar to me? Oh yeah, I've done that. I've

690
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: done that so well, my my fit. You know, my

691
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: favorite Tales from the Booth was the first game that

692
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I haven't did from the Sideline. But I don't want

693
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: to tell that one. I'll tell the one, um because

694
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: this one, you know, Tails from the Booth. Wait, wait

695
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: for me before you say anything. I want. I want

696
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: to we gotta set it up one more time properly

697
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: with yeah, there you go, ok ahead, So I'm gonna

698
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: go I'm gonna go with this one because you know,

699
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: Tales from the Booth kind of for me ends up

700
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: being Tales from Sideline. And so we go to Indianapolis

701
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen and have him beating him, you know,

702
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing with Indianapolis in twenty just you like,

703
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: god get a win. TJ starts the game, he tears

704
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: his acl. We gotta go to Brandon Weeden and Weeding

705
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: the last drive in the first half leads him to

706
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: a fuel goal. One thought kind of keeping him around

707
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, like we're sticking around, Like okay, so

708
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: we go on a ninety yard drive all the way

709
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: down the field and we started to ten. We get

710
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: to I think we're down inside the ten and so

711
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: Obi Actually I think Goose was calling play George Gootzi

712
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: and Goose comes up with this great play. He has

713
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: Jalen strong going motion and then he returns back across

714
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: the formation of the flat Brandon hits him and ends

715
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: up being a touchdown. So right before that play, I'm

716
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: standing pretty much at the goal line, and right before

717
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: that play, just I can't really hear him, but I

718
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: can just see him. And I've never I've never done this.

719
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't I never, I've gotten where. I talked the referees,

720
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: and I got to know him a little bit, like

721
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 1: I know Cleet Blakeman now and I know a couple

722
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: of referees and they kind of know me. So we

723
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: talk a little bit. But I just said that the

724
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: guy I was well behind the yellow linehere I'm supposed

725
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: to stand, and I just said, you got plenty of room.

726
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why I told him that. I was like,

727
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: you got plenty of room. So when Jalen catches the ball,

728
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: he starts coming at the pylon. Well, I'm kind of

729
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: watching him and seeing him score and we're gonna take

730
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: the lead in the fourth quarter against the Colts in

731
00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil, and I jump up like, yes, Well, when

732
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: da Quell Jackson was coming across the formation, he was

733
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna go make the tackle. And so there's a collision

734
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: between Jackson one of our guys trying to block him.

735
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: In that kind of mesh of humanity forced the actual

736
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: side judge to come all the way back to the

737
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: yellow line. By me. I'm up in the air cheering

738
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: like we oh, like I'm freaking out, And all of

739
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: a sudden, as I'm about the land, I realized the

740
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: side judge is literally in my lap. So as I'm

741
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: coming down, if I just come down normally, I'm gonna

742
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: land right on top of him, maybe drop like a

743
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: people's elbow on his hand or something. And I'm like,

744
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm behind the yellow line. It's just this whole massive

745
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: people just started coming my way. So as I come down,

746
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: I literally land like I'm just gonna give him the

747
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: biggest bear hug. And I never touched him. I was

748
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: maybe like two inches from him, but I never touched him.

749
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: And I looked down to make sure I watched that

750
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: whole play from beginning to end, and I never was

751
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: in a restricted area, but he just came all that

752
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: way because of the two players that ran into and

753
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: so I come down and I'm literally my arms are

754
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: like around him but not touching him, and I just

755
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: immediately landed and took off and then Jalen obviously celebrated

756
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: with the touchdown, and I just remember I'm so excited,

757
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: and he walked over to me and he kind of

758
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: looked at me, and I was like, I kind of

759
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: pointed at the l line. I was like, I was

760
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: behind the line man, and I didn't touch you, and

761
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: he goes, he goes, I know, and he kind of

762
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: smiled at me, and I was like, oh, thank god, yeah,

763
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: because you got some of those guys that can be

764
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: very difficult. But I was like, I was in the

765
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: restricted I was behind behind where I was supposed to be,

766
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, touchdowns from now on, I'm

767
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: just gonna stay well away from the pylon. I'll go

768
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: to the back of the ends. And I started going

769
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone and that was

770
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: better because you can see a whole lot more there.

771
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, my gosh, is I'm coming down.

772
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna land on this referee? Oh No, and then

773
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: just missed him by by two inches and I was

774
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: like oh. And then of course we end up winning

775
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: a game. And it was such a great feeling. The

776

00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: back to more Texans Talk on Texans All Exis. Oh yeah,

875
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: Mark Vandamer and John Harris with you, Okay, I tease this.

876
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: So rookies tested and I thought this number was pretty low.

877
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: According to Todd Pella Sero, twelve rookies around the League

878
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 1: of tested positive. That's not bad. And it's July twenty fourth, Johnny.

879
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: I mean, and look, I don't know I'm sick, but

880
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: I've talked to you know, and I know people know

881
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: people who are sick, but I have yet to know

882
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: anybody who's actually gotten sick. Sick mostly asymptomatics. But good,

883
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean not good. That they tested positive, but good

884
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: that it's a low number and you can deal with it.

885
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: And that's that. And now I think now that they're

886
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: in the building, these rookies around the league in their buildings,

887
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: the education is there, the testing is there, the watchful

888
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: eye of not only your coaches, but your teammate too.

889
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: You know, people try to make smart decisions when they're

890
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: not in the building. I think that's all gonna help.

891
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: I can tell you this. The building is so decked out.

892
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: You can tell us better than I can. How decked

893
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: out the building is how they've set up for this,

894
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: trying to keep people as safe as possible, following all

895
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: the agreed upon protocols and doing their best to keep

896
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: everybody as healthy as possible to get ready for the

897
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty campaign. Matter. I'm trying to think numbers wise

898
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: as it pertains to rookies, But just think of it

899
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: this way. It's thirty or two teams twelve test positive.

900
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: Now you can have two for a team, but but honestly,

901
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: that's one less than every other team. Yeah, so it's

902
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: it's not draft choices. We're talking about undrafted free agents.

903
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: There's some hefty classes out there. When you factor in

904
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: the undrafted's with the draft picks. So that's not too bad.

905
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: These guys look like buy and large. Da've been making

906
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: really good decisions. That's every rookie tested, folks, and only twelve.

907
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: I thought that number could be a lot bigger. Yeah, twelve,

908
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't think as a horrible number. Obviously, you'd like

909
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: to see how many rookies were actually tested. Just if

910
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: you do the math on the Texans, and the Texans

911
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: had one of the smaller rookie classes. They had nine undrafted,

912
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: five drafted, fourteen rookies. My math is correct. So even

913
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: if you just did that number fourteen times thirty two,

914
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: I think it's four fifty eight if I'm doing the

915
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: math on the fly for forty eight. So even if

916
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: you just did that, that's twelve on a four or

917
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: forty eight, and you know the numbers larger, you know,

918
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: the numbers larger than that. Because the Texans had a

919
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: small had the smallest rookie class, I think maybe of

920
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: maybe of the entire NFL. I don't don't don't quote

921
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: me on that, but that's a it's a pretty twelve

922
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: of foty eight talking what two and a half less

923
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: less than three percent. It's good to have a math

924
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: major on with us. I hope, I love that math

925
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: correc I'll wait, wait were you are? Were you economics

926
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: or umering, civil engineering? You're really putting that degree to

927
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:13,240
Speaker 1: work for you? Yeah, twelve divided by FT eight talking

928
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: uh two point seven percent, so just under three percent,

929
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: very close on the fly like that. I'm like that.

930
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. That's that's very good. Okay,

931
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,439
Speaker 1: that's cool. Um, Johnny, the other night, you asked me, uh,

932
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Uh when he announced his retirement, was I

933
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: buying Uh? And I said absolutely not. And of course, uh,

934
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: he wants to come back. And I heard McClean talking

935
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: about this during the afternoon show today. Uh look, and

936
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: I thought I thought Ron Ron the show had a

937
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: good point that you know, look, Antonio Brown, I know,

938
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 1: like the list of troubles is long, okay, but why

939
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: can't the league just say, all right, you've got an

940
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: eight game suspension when you come back waiting for you

941
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: or a four get whatever it is, whatever the punishment is,

942
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: this is it when you come back. And that way,

943
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: whoever wants to sign him knows that there's a suspension,

944
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: or if there's no suspension or whatever they decide to

945
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: do with him. I'm always amazed how long these things

946
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: can take and then how I don't know, they just

947
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: seem to be from time to time a little inconsistent.

948
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: But that's just my personal feeling on it. Yeah, I

949
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: would imagine just I'm not gonna say give the NFL

950
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: pass on this one, but for the last four months,

951
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: the last four months, they've been trying to figure out,

952
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: how do we hold a virtual draft, how do we

953
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: play a season, how do we do all these things

954
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: in a COVID nineteen world? How do we do all

955
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: of that? I would imagine on Roger Goodell's to do

956
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: list those two things were probably at the top of

957
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: his list and probably way down at the bottom of

958
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: the legal pad it said, decide what to do about

959
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Yeah, I know that's not the I know

960
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: it's one guy, get that, But I feel like this one,

961
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: I would think, this is just my gut. I would

962
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: think that there are certain players throughout the league where

963
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: the commissioner absolutely, without question, is going to be involved

964
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 1: in the process of what happens. Now, I know they're

965
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: like CBA. Things have changed, so I'm not sure how

966
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: it will be going forward. But to me, there are

967
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: certain players in which the commissioner needs to be involved.

968
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: If you're talking about you know, some rookie, okay, decide,

969
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: Troy Vincent or whoever's in the in the league office,

970
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: it's Antonio Brown we're talking about here. So I can

971
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: imagine that Roger Goodell needed to be involved in that

972
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. I don't know. Maybe

973
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: they dragged their feed because they're not sure, they're none

974
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: of the evidence. Nobody will talk. Well, I think that's yeah.

975
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: I think that's more likely. I will give them a

976
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: pass on that that they don't have the up to date, accurate,

977
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: all of it information, as opposed to they didn't have

978
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: time because I see what our organization is dealt with,

979
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: not in terms of a plane, but in terms of

980
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: just preparing for this season in this environment. And I'm

981
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: so impressed with everything, all the work everyone's done, and

982
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they could get it done. But that's just

983
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: the way I am. All right, Johnny, thanks so much
