1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: All right, Texans, Hello everyone, good evening. We are back

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: in the Hyundai Texans radio studio after much content originating

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: from South Florida. Johnny steered the ship last night, but

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: we had the McNair interview, we had a few other

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: interviews and all week long content from the NFL Annual

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Meeting and now back in studio. But no John McClain

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: tonight because he blew us off. And Johnny, I don't

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: know what to say. But Plain's working on some kind

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: of documentary or whatever and he's out in Lubbock, right, Yeah, Yeah,

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: he's got a lot.

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: He's got two documentaries I think he's involved with and

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: working on. So yeah, good for him. But man, it's

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: good to see you again and be back together doing radio.

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: It's always kind of some fomo. Yeah, when you know

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: you're at the annual meetings. Sorry, and I know you

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: have that when I go to the Senior Bowl. Not

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: as much, but it's good to get you did a

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: tremendous job. As always.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl is this rustic kind of event in my mind.

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, you guys, often it's cold. It's not always,

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: but often it's cold, you're chilly, you're outdoors exactly right.

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sitting there with the sushi line and

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: Andy Reid in the Hawaiian shirt. It's a very different

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: deal at the NFL annual meeting. Yeah.

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: You know, one of my favorite things that always come

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: out the annual meetings is the NFL head coach picture.

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that.

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: And a lot of times the last few years they

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: they would get twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, they

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: had thirty one.

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty strong. Wait missed it only.

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: I figured I always that's always about challenge. Can I

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: figure out who's not in the picture? Yeah, And I

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: figured it out right away.

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris. I don't know why it hit me right away.

36
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: He was there. He was there several times, just was

37
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: not in the picture for some some reason. It's amazing

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: watching everybody walking around. And I said the other night

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: on the air, I said, my name dropping has really

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: dropped off. So I ramped it up for a segment.

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I just went full name dropping mode. Let's say you.

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this on the year too, that

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Josh it's not pronounced Siege his last name, it's SiGe.

44
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: It's Josh Sie. Sorry. Yeah, I didn't know that. I

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: said you should really pronounce its siege because it sounds badass.

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: But he was at a circular table and shod Cohn

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: walked over, plopped his plate down, started eating. Can you

48
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: imagine I would have loved that because I would have

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: started talking about Fulham. Oh yeah, I would have said, hey,

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I follow Fulham because we had a great experience at

51
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: the game, even though they lost three nothing that day,

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: but we didn't care. We were just at a We

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: loved the Jetish soccer game in the oldest stadium in London,

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: so that was very cool. All right. There's a lot

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: of stuff to go over regarding the meetings, but you

56
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: and I did not have a chance to really fully

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: flesh this out and went over some of the rule adjustments.

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this for weeks. Thirty five yard

59
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: line touchback, this is a big deal. This is a

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: big deal. You are going to get kickoff returns now.

61
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: They next year will go to forty if they have to,

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: damn it. They want to see the ball return. Yes,

63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: they're going to see the ball return. I think putting

64
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: it at the thirty five is really risky. Nick said

65
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: it the other day on the air down. You're at midfield. Basically,

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: one first down you're at midfield.

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: Remember back back in the days when it was at

68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: the twenty yard line, not that long ago, And first

69
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: down you're at the thirty Okay, great, now you're at

70
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: almost midfield.

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: If not midfield, you get a fifteen yard game. Boom,

72
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: there you are. So what are your thoughts on that

73
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: we're going to see a ton of kickoff returns? Now? Yeah? Absolutely?

74
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because we're at that time of year

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: where we're talking about draft prospects. Yeah, and this now

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: becomes a pretty real thing. You're gonna have all these returns.

77
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: How's our return game? How's it shaping up?

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Does it?

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: You know? There have been a lot of people that

80
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: I've talked to you that want to talk to me about,

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, draft priorities and such, and they want talk.

82
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: About running backs.

83
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: So being what being a good returner what Damian Pierce

84
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: has really evolved into. Does that now more solidify himself

85
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: on the team or do you feel like, hey, we

86
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: can look at maybe one of these other receiver running

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: backs dB types that you get the ball in their

88
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: hands and man, it gets kind of fun. Maybe put

89
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: them on kickoff returns because they're gonna You're right, they're

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna be kickoff returns now, and it just becomes a

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: more strategic play how you go about it. And you know,

92
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: you get to the end of the game, like you said,

93
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: and you're like, man, I don't want to take a

94
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: chance on a return. Yeah, I don't know, Well, choose

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: to touch back balls are thirty five? You throw a

96
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: digger out to midfield, one route, call time out. Man,

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: it's a sixty seven yard field goal at that particular point.

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: But you have a chance.

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, at that point you have a chance.

100
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: So I think moving out to thirty five is seismic.

101
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's huge. Maybe five yards, right,

102
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: that five yards is the difference of whether you can

103
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: have a realistic shot at kicking a fieldal at the

104
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: end of the game versus not. I mean, I think

105
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: it's absolutely massive. Think about this five yards being that case.

106
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: You look at drive charts back at the day again

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: yard lines, so eighty yard touchdown drive, eighty yard touchdown drive.

108
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: You saw so many of those because the touchback was

109
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: the twenty and then it went to the twenty five.

110
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: So now it's a seventy five yard touchdown. Drive, and

111
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: so that was just weird to me, but obviously you

112
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: get used to anything, right, and then seventy yard touchdown

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: drive because we're gonna market at the thirty. Now we're

114
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: at the freaking thirty five. This is a big chunk

115
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: of yards. It's fifteen from where we had it at

116
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: the twenty, and it does make a difference. Scoring will

117
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: go up. Obviously, they want to see the ball that

118
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: they want to see that play of a kickoff return.

119
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't think too many coaches are going to say

120
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: back of the ends on, I want to see the

121
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: ball at the thirty five. I don't think too many

122
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: coaches are going to say that.

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: And the you know, the one thing we talked about

124
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: with the dynamic kickoff rules, which by the way, we're

125
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: voted in like last year was just it was an

126
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: experimental year.

127
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: One year. It was one year.

128
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: But now it's it's accepted, it's stamped, it's it's there.

129
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: That's the kickoff that we're gonna have. There are a

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: number of things that go with it. Number one, what

131
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: are they going to do in college? Eventually? Are they

132
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: in college gonna start going to the dynamic kickoff rule?

133
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 2: Because the UFL is using what is now at the NFL.

134
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: The UFL had these rules put in place before the

135
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: annual meetings, but the NFL was going to that rule

136
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: and that's what they've obviously done. So they're now similar.

137
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: So now there's consistency in the professional groups that are

138
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: they going to do it? In college, we talked about

139
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: the impact on returners, Guys that you might look at

140
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: a little bit stronger in a draft because they've got

141
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: some returnabilities or you'd like to see them have some returnability.

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Who's returning for the Texans if they played this Sunday

143
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Pier and who else? I think X, Damien X, X,

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Barrios no punts, oh Burrios, Yeah yeah, Barrios Aarios over

145
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: X and kickoffs probably.

146
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: I think Barrios and Damien would be a good, nice

147
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: little return group. I think Braxton with punts, that would

148
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: probably be the way that I would go about it.

149
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: And then maybe day three, you know, maybe there's a

150
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: running back, wide receiver kind of weapon X, but he's

151
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: got some returnabilities. Don't know, maybe you draft Matthew Golden.

152
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: The first he had kickoff returns and Houston had two

153
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: of them in one season and twenty three.

154
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: You're not gonna put him back there for that, I don't.

155
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But but look, they did it

156
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: with they did it with Tank.

157
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: I was always nervous with Tank back there, but it

158
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: turned into a pretty fun show when Tank got the

159
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: wall and put returns in particular, and he never got

160
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: hurt doing a putty, no, not not getting puny returned.

161
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: One time he was blocking and one time he was

162
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: catching a pass. Both were kind of freakish, both freakish. Yeah,

163
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a shame.

164
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just curious kind of like Michael Vick

165
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: getting hurt in the pocket, you know, yeah.

166
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, those Yeah, I mean that's that's one one

167
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: of the ways Vic got hurt.

168
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: He was just in the pocket.

169
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: He was trying to like avoid a sack and he

170
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: kind of bent back. But I just I think this

171
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: is a it's a seismic thing, I think. And then

172
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 2: you go obviously special teams and you know, thinking about

173
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: the whole the whole unit. Kickoffs, you know, you're kicking game.

174
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: You think about, okay, we set the ball to thirty five.

175
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: If a team is just gonna keep every time you

176
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: get the ball to thirty five. A team just decides

177
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna have them touch it back. We're just gonna

178
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: be a touch back each time. Every time you have

179
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: the ball thirty five, that's gotta be three points at

180
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: a minimum. At a minimum, that's the way you have

181
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: to think. Offensively. You're gonna give us the ball to

182
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 2: thirty five. We're gonna make you pay with three points.

183
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: Now you hope it's seven, but we're gonna make you

184
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: pay with three. Your defense has to be that much

185
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: better to keep that team at the thirty five three

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 2: and out, get the ball back, and then you know,

187
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: play it from there. You get the ball thirty five,

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: you should be thinking this is a minimum three. Like

189
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: you said, first down, get you tor around midfield, you

190
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: get a second down. Now you're in legitimate field goal range.

191
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Especially with the way the kickers are kicking yes days,

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: absolutely long range capability of these kickers. And you know,

193
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: for Emy, it's like it doesn't matter if it's fifty

194
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: five or thirty five. It's the same thing to him.

195
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: It just feels that way, doesn't it, That the miss

196
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: is that he's had.

197
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: You know, if you miss inside of thirty, that's not

198
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: a thing regarding your technique or whatever. It probably comes

199
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: down to that, but it's got to be a mental

200
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: thing that's right.

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Right, And he's bashed him from fifty plus and had

202
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: more than anybody else in history last year. So good

203
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: for him. That's amazing stuff. We'll see how they handle

204
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: that part of it. Okay, Another key element here from

205
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: earlier this week, overtime. It's good, Johnny, because I was

206
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: getting overtime discussion fatigue the last few years. What are

207
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: we gonna do? Well, now everybody gets the ball once. Everybody,

208
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: each team gets the ball once, no matter what good

209
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: rule done. Wait did they go beyond ten minutes? They

210
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: kept it at ten? Kept it a ten. I don't

211
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: like that. I don't like that.

212
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: I saw somebody write this because my very first reaction

213
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: when I saw this was a team that's got a

214
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: great running game. So take the Ravens. Yeah, Instantly, the

215
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: Ravens go to overtime. And it's not like they go

216
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: into complete four minute mode, but they could.

217
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all of a sudden, it's Lamar. It's Henry.

218
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: It's Henry again. It's Lamar. It's Henry again. Maybe throw

219
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: it if you need.

220
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: They just go into straight four minute mode and all

221
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden they go down to kick a field

222
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: goal and they left you with two minutes.

223
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now you're in a drill situation, right, but

224
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: you need a field goal. I think there has to

225
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: be a desperation to score. This is why you know.

226
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: Now that we've done this, I think we should just

227
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: go back to my way, which is sudden death, because

228
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: win the game in regulation, you get the ball playing

229
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: in regulation, Win the freaking game, outscore the opponent. How

230
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: about that for a change. Yeah, Nope, We're going to

231
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: overtime and each team gets the ball once. I'm not

232
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna be able to win this argument, so I'll just

233
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: leave it at that. But the ten minutes, that's going

234
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: to be a factory chances increase of ties with this

235
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: new arrangement, there's no doubt and people hate ties. In fact,

236
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: at the end of ten minutes, let's do a field

237
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: goal kicking contest. Come on, they do it in the

238
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: other football. Oh man, yeah, I could contlute with that.

239
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: I could you. I can go so far with field goals,

240
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goals? Are you kidding me?

241
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Like? I feel the stress when you waita game? EuroLeague

242
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: or EuroCup game. I remember England played Spain in the

243
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: finals of euro Cup a couple of years ago, and

244
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: soccer who is just an incredible player for uh Arson, No,

245
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: I think he is. I think it's Arsenal young guy.

246
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: He's like nineteen. I mean, just the stress and pressure

247
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: and he missed the kick. He missed it well as

248
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: I said he missed. He just mishit it, misread it whatever,

249
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: and he just I mean, hell reigned upon him for

250
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: for months by English soccer fans.

251
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: And I was like the pressure that goes with that.

252
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Can you imagine MESSI missed one out here in Copa? Yeah,

253
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: for Argentina. They won the game anyway though, now yeah,

254
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: because you imagine they'd lost. Oh man, I just take

255
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: a history and not the kind I want to see.

256
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: My one chance to see MESSI this year. I wouldn't

257
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: be any year. I wouldn't want that pressure on those guys. Man,

258
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: there's already enough as there is. I mean, they're guys

259
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: playing college. Can you imagine college?

260
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: There are already college kids taking you know, their social

261
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 2: media now because fans are like you cost me my

262
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: fan dual parlay for the day or whatever it might be.

263
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man, come on, there's enough of that.

264
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: So I'm okay with it. Both teams get a possession.

265
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: But I like this the strategy of do you go

266
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: into four minute mode if you get the ball first?

267
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Do you want the ball first?

268
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: Because we saw in the Super Bowl obviously the Niners

269
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: took it first, and they took it first and figured

270
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: they would set the tone and then the Chiefs would

271
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: have to follow.

272
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Well they feel goal the Chiefs do. They could go

273
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: out and score a touchdown and win a game.

274
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 2: But if, like I said, if you're facing a good

275
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: rushing offense in do you want the ball first, because

276
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: not only if you go first and score a touchdown,

277
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: now you've taken time off the clock, a lot of it,

278
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: and now you're forcing a good running team to have

279
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: to nowt throw the ball down the field. So I

280
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: think it could It could.

281
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Vary if you want it first. I'm usually the other way.

282
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: In the college over time obviously the other way around,

283
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: but that's because time is not an issue in college right,

284
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: it's untimed. This is timed, and there's something about I

285
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: want two possessions, right, If I have it first, I

286
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: increase my chances of having two possessions because if I

287
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: kick a field goal or even score a touchdown, they

288
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, I get it back, and so I

289
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: gotta get it first. Job I got to. Yeah, it'd

290
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: be nice to know what you absolutely need. But in

291
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: this environment, I think that the analytics would say, you

292
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: want the ball, you want to increase your chances of

293
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: getting it twice in a ten minute period.

294
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 2: But here's where I think it might be different in

295
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: the in the playoffs, because those ten minutes up, you

296
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: just I think it's fifteen.

297
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I think I think so.

298
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: So you'll keep playing. You'll keep playing, all winner, keep playing,

299
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: So at that point it doesn't matter. I think in

300
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 2: the regular season, I think you're absolutely right. You want that,

301
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: you'd like to have that second possession, Which makes me

302
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: always think when I think of overtime games, I think

303
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: of eighteen at Indianapolis and how that game went at

304
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: the buzzer, at the at the buzzer. But that was

305
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: our second possession. It had to in that overtime, I.

306
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: Believe, if not third, but it definitely was not the first. Yeah,

307
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: it was definitely not the first. So that was that

308
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: was Frank Wright going for it. On fourth. That's right.

309
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh, speaking of Frank, Right, how about the Stanford job

310
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: Dan for the band back together? That's exactly right.

311
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I I I kind of like it.

312
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: I know Frank hasn't coached in college, but I think

313
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: Frank's got the right demeanor. And Andrew Luck obviously is

314
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: the one who pulled the trigger on it, and they're

315
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: going to go through a you know, he's just interim

316
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: head coach, and I'm sure Frank understands that, but I'll

317
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: be real curious to see kind of how that goes.

318
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: NIL are not guys are gonna want to go to Stanford?

319
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Right?

320
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: I would think so, because Stanford's here's the thing. If

321
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: you're a really talented player. Let's say you're an NFL

322
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: caliber player, Stanford is your NIL. I'm going to Stanford,

323
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and I'm smart enough to get into Stanford because that's

324
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: always been necessary to be a player there.

325
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to Stanford. I'm gonna get that Stanford education.

326
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: I would think they're not NIL proof, but I think

327
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: they're more NIL resistant than a lot of programs out there. Yeah,

328
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: I think there are a few that fall into that category.

329
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: I think it's hard for them to look over at Cow,

330
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: and Cow I think has played the nil game a

331
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: little bit better. I mean, Cal's gonna have dudes drafted,

332
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: like maybe. I think I've got like four or five

333
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: of my top two hundred. Got some good corners, good linebacker.

334
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna have guys drafted.

335
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: You how mey. Stanford's gonna have drafted one wide receiver basically.

336
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: So they're like the Longhorns a few years ago. Ooh,

337
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: that was cold, low blow to your school. It was

338
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: a little cult.

339
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're all right now. Yeah, Yeah, they got

340
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: some guys. They've got some guys speaking of all the

341
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: nil stuff. So there's gonna be some reform we'll call

342
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: if we can call it that.

343
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. But what I'm noticing now, I mean it's coach

344
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: and I out.

345
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: Now.

346
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Coaches have often been, hey, I'm only here a year

347
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: or two. Sometimes I can go when I please, but

348
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: if you want me out, you got to pay me

349
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: the full amount. But more than ever, we're seeing guys

350
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: bound so fast, so fast. I mean, the college basketball

351
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: coaching carousel is flying. It's not a carousel. If it

352
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: were a carousel, you'd be holding onto the horse and

353
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: your body would be parallel to the ground because it's

354
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: going so fast. Well that's how the college carousel is going.

355
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: So obviously this isn't NFL.

356
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: But I saw this over the weekend and I thought

357
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: of you, but I knew you were going to the

358
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: annual meeting, so I didn't want to send it to

359
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: you and kind of mess with your head. But I

360
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: read a short article that said the Big East is

361
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: about to take back over control of college basketball, and

362
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, this is kind of interesting, and

363
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: then they mentioned nil.

364
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: They said that Saint John's, Villanova came.

365
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: Remember there are a couple others, Saint John's in particular,

366
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: that it's an eight million dollar basically salary cap for

367
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: their NIL for basketball and that's up from like two

368
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: or three million just a couple of years ago, going

369
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: to dominate.

370
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: So basically what.

371
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: Schools are doing is they're going to almost like one

372
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: nil funder and that guy funds it, and apparently I

373
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: think it was the guy with under armour was Saint

374
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: John's guy, Like that's their guy. But apparently the price

375
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: is going up to like eight million dollars to field.

376
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 2: Like the under armour Maryland is not under armor body armor.

377
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: The drink Okay, the drink, Yeah, body armor, the drink. Sorry, yeah,

378
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: under arms Maryland. So basically coaches are like, okay, what

379
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: do I need?

380
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: Well?

381
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: The reason that this article stated that the Big East

382
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: was going to take steps ahead of other conferences is

383
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: that other conferences have football, and there's so much money

384
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: that's needed for football that there just won't be enough

385
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: to fund all those all sports. Yet they don't realize

386
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: the SEC has money for everything.

387
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They got money for everything.

388
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: That's partly why you're seeing the SEC be be so

389
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: successful now in college basketball. These but college basketball teams,

390
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: they were pointing out it's eight to ten million dollars

391
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: in the Big East just to field a team, to

392
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: go out and get players and bring them back. And

393
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: I find the nil thing just completely and totally fascinating.

394
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: It is fascinating because you look at Xavier when it's

395
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: a big school. Now, right, Shaw Miller goes to UT

396
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: Xavier gets Richard Patino, New Mexico. Yes, son of Rick.

397
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: Weird things happened, because all right, that's not that weird

398
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: going to Xavier from New Mexico. I get that buzz

399
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: going from A and M to Maryland. I guess so.

400
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: But Maryland now they have under armour money. Okay, on money,

401
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: Maryland coach goes to what Villanova? I guess all right,

402
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Villanova Biggie's major power. Maryland has that nice brand name,

403
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: but they haven't been there in a long time. But

404
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: I can imagine as a.

405
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: Coach now, the first question you walk in and you

406
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: know they're interested in you, and hey, you got any

407
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: questions for us?

408
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: What's my NL what's my NIL budget? What's my money?

409
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: So you gotta put it on them because now with

410
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: this reform, I'll put that in their quotes. They want

411
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: the money to actually come from the school generated revenue,

412
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: broadcast all of that cap it and good luck. This

413
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: still has to be approved, but we'll see where it

414
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: all goes.

415
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: I mean, this is gonna this is gonna be like

416
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: hurting goats, Like it's gonna be all over the place.

417
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: And Nick talked about it this morning with Sean and

418
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: Seth a bit, the NIL impact on players and the

419
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: that they've the higher rated ones, higher drafted ones have

420
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: gotten used to money already totally having yes money. So

421
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: there's a good thing about that. The bad thing about

422
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: that is are they spoiled? Sure, are they looking for

423
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: a bigger check than they cut? Some of them will be,

424
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: some of them will take it. Definitely, something drafted in

425
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: the fifth round might take a pay cut.

426
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean when I look at right go through the

427
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: draft stuff, I mean, I think about Dylan Gabriel. Dylan

428
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: Gabriel coming out of Oklahoma after the twenty three season,

429
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: was thinking about going in to the draft.

430
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: Dan Lanning calls him as like, Yo, come to Oregon.

431
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: We'll get you nil money. They'll be better than where

432
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna go into draft. You're gonna be a Day

433
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: three pick in the draft. You can make exit Oregon.

434
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: Play in front of a packed stadium, play for a championship,

435
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: and in.

436
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: One of the country kind of build your build yourself

437
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: up another year. Because the things that hold Dylan Gabriel

438
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: back are still gonna be the same after the twenty

439
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: three season, after the twenty four season.

440
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's not growing, He's not growing his arms.

441
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: This is gonna grow exponentially, Like it's not gonna happen,

442
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: So you know, Okay, And so I've had this conversation

443
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: with agents about this and with other college coaches like

444
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: they're they're even though it's tough because they're having to

445
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: re recouit kids and all that kind of stuff. They're

446
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: getting guys to stick around and stay for a little

447
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: bit longer because they do have ANIL money and so hey,

448
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: you can go be you know the they send into

449
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: the NFL and there's a committee that says, yeah, you'll

450
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: be around one guy, you'll be around two three guy,

451
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: you'll be a Day three guy. So these prospects know this,

452
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: and they're like, wait a second, A Day three guy

453
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: makes this. I'm already getting this in an IL money.

454
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay another year. I get to be BMOC

455
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: one more year.

456
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: Hell yeah makes sense.

457
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, absolutely, it makes a ton of sense. And

458
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: that's why you had one of the reasons why you

459
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: had fewer early early entrants into the draft.

460
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: Than I can ever remember.

461
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: I think three or four years ago for ANIL was

462
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: like one hundred and fifty, one hundred and sixty. I

463
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: mean it was an incredible number. The number I think

464
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: this year was like seventy seventy. Now, there are gonna

465
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: be some guys that are gonna make, you know, life

466
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: changing money, regardless of what they're making for an IL.

467
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: But Nick's got the you know, Nick's got one of

468
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: the things that you were able to see. Hey, back

469
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: in the day, you had to say, hey, if this

470
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 2: when this guy gets money, how do we think he's

471
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: gonna react. Well, now you can find out, Yeah, the

472
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: guy buy a Lamborghini. Did he buy a slab, you know,

473
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: deck it all out? You know, did he end up

474
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: going to you know, going to a local casino and

475
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: just gambling it all the way?

476
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: Like what did he do with it? Oh, he bought

477
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: his sister. He got his sister through school through college.

478
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: Like, you start finding out what these guys are using

479
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: their nil money, And a lot of times I see

480
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: things that they're these guys are doing. I'm like, man,

481
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: it's so cool, Like they see guys that are cool

482
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: with my an AOL money. I bought them all you know,

483
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: Beat headphones, or I bought them all Adidas shoes or whatever.

484
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: And you're seeing a lot more good I think coming

485
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: out of it. But I think if you talk to

486
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: the coaches, they'd.

487
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: Be like, yeah, we just just kind of stabilize it.

488
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: Just kind of know the game we're all playing, and

489
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: let's make sure we're all playing the same on the

490
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: same field. Because I feel like there's some that are

491
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: playing out on the side field all the way over there,

492
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: then there are some playing on this gorgeous field over here.

493
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: But yet they're all saying in the same conference. And

494
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: so they've got to kind of figure that out. And

495
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: I think that will happen once they kind of get

496
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 2: this whole deal done and it's all given the thumbs

497
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: up where the money is obviously coming from the school

498
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 2: and not from NIO collective.

499
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: And that's where it gets crazy. Well, the NFL obviously

500
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: has it figured out because as I said earlier this week,

501
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: the number is over seventy percent of league revenue is

502
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: shared among the thirty two teams. Wow, so thirty two

503
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: squads share over seventy percent of the total revenue, which

504
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: is obviously billions. Now, the great thing is it's over

505
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: thirty percent of points higher than baseball, back basketball, any

506
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: other league in the United States, meaning the NFL is balanced. Yep.

507
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: And that, combined with the draft obviously one of the

508
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: big reasons why this league is so competitive. Now you

509
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: could say, all right, well, Mark, the Eagles have been

510
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: there for a while, the Chiefs obviously, the Bills. Yeah,

511
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: because they've made good decisions drafted, Well, you have to

512
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: be able to do that. That's why the draft is

513
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: fascinating because it's hard to draft. Well, if it was easy,

514
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: everybody could do it. But clearly things slip through the crack.

515
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: You get decisions wrong, you don't get the quarterback you want,

516
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're not winning enough games

517
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. And sometimes you do win enough

518
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: games to make the playoffs, but you don't go as

519
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: far as you want. And that's just it. So the

520
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: league is so balanced that way, and everyone feels like

521
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: they have a shot, a huge reason why it's so popular.

522
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: That seventy percent number jumps out to me. So when

523
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: you were there, was there any talk about Netflix and

524
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: the draft? All right, so they've talked about what Netflix

525
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: getting the draft? Ye CEO Ted Sorrandos spoke to the

526
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: entire contingent, which would mean coaches, gms, and owners, and

527
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if they mentioned I think they did talk

528
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: about the draft, but they were mostly talking about Christmas

529
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: triple header. Oh woy, Yeah, because Netflix will have a

530
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: double header on Christmas, then Amazon's got the other one,

531
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: and Amazon's got the night game because it's a Thursday,

532
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: it's the regular Thursday night game, and how excited they were.

533
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: In fact, next segment, I want to dive into that

534
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more so, let's do that next. Here

535
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: your viewing experience of the sport you love and maybe

536
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: sports coming up. Texans Radio. All right, keep it it

537
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: rolling here Texans Radio. Mark Vandermere and John Harris with

538
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: you in the hun Day Texans Radio studio. We brought

539
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: up that Netflix triple header. It's not a Netflix triple header.

540
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: It's a triple header on Christmas this coming year. Because

541
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Christmas is a Thursday Netflix doubleheader followed by the Amazon

542
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: single Thursday night game. Texans obviously played in the double

543
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: header on Christmas on a Wednesday this year. Oh, by

544
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: the way, the Chiefs have requested that they always have Christmas.

545
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: I think they want to be the Cowboys of Christmas.

546
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: Right.

547
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

548
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: There are two news items basically with that. One of

549
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: them could have an impact on the Texans. One, the

550
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs want to be Christmas Day, right, They want to

551
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: be the Cowboys, Lions or Christmas Day, which okay, I

552
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: have fine, I'm cool with that. Secondly, it looks like

553
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: the Chargers are going to play the chiefs in Brazil.

554
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: It looks like that, it looks like we might get that.

555
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: We thought we might be in that game. I'll be

556
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: okay with that. Miss Yeah, I would too. Trips to La,

557
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: yeah yeah yeah.

558
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: But on top of that, mister Goodell, can we make

559
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: the LA thing like that to back right back to

560
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: back in LA. That'd be awesome. Stay out there for

561
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: the week, practice out there to make it early ish,

562
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: like weeks three and four, when it's still hot as

563
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: hades out here, because people assume On's camp's over. It's easy.

564
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: Now they're practicing. Get noon and it's piping freaking hot.

565
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: In fact, last year it was one of those years

566
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: where it was hot late like November. We were going

567
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: out there. It was still steamy, and I thought, this

568
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: is not what we usually feel. But I guess the

569
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: Earth is moving closer to the Sun and we're all

570
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: getting exploded in the next It might take a billion years,

571
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: but it'll happen.

572
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: Well our game, I mean, both LA teams are going

573
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: to be pretty good. I'd like to think we're going

574
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: to be pretty good. You know what I what I

575
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: said about it. If you wanted to have it that way,

576
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: have us play one of the LA teams on Sunday

577
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: and then stay out there and then play Thursday. Oh,

578
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: knock out, play Thursday, knock out the Thursday. Just staying

579
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: out there, that's good. Just stay out there. That's one

580
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: of them. Now.

581
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: Not for me, I'd be fine staying all the way

582
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: to the oppos the following. Your daughters out there, daughters

583
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: out there.

584
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: I think everybody would want to make a family trip

585
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: out of it, which is great. I kind of know

586
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: where a few things are in LA, so I kind

587
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: of know my way around.

588
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: So that's kind of true. Yeah, I don't know anything

589
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: about LA you know. I've been there many times obviously,

590
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: but I never feel like I get a handle on

591
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: the geography. And I did the week we were out

592
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: there for the Rose Bowl. This is a long time ago.

593
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: At one with the Hurricanes. I got it down, you know,

594
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: our little circle Century City and the Pasadena Oh yeah,

595
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: but it's still very very light knowledge of the area. Yeah,

596
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: so I mean I would look forward to that, but

597
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: still that it appears.

598
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: Daniel Popper and Nate Taylor, who both write for The

599
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: Athletic Come They teamed up for an article saying that

600
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: Chiefs want Christmas Day and that the Chiefs sort the

601
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: leader in the clubhouse to play the Chargers week one

602
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: out in Brazil. Now, it looked like from the article

603
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: they didn't work. They a little bit vague about it,

604
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: but they said expect that decision all the other teams

605
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 2: to face because we know the seven teams that are

606
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: going over for international games. We know all the host teams. Yeah,

607
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: we don't know the visiting team, so we'll find out.

608
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: Apparently when the schedule gets released.

609
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: Now there might be one more possibility for the Texans

610
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: to play internationally this year because the Steelers, the Dolphins.

611
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: They're hosting those two. But I don't think we go

612
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: to London. I don't know. Maybe all thes You're right, No,

613
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: they could do it. You're right, my bad Jags court.

614
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: They could say you're gonna play the Jags in London.

615
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: Because for those who don't know, the Texans were apparently

616
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: on a collision course to play at a Studios Deca

617
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: this year in Mexico City.

618
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: But the stadium's not ready. So because you have nine

619
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: home games, so you're gonna better start getting it ready.

620
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: Or imagine that the Studio stak is gonna have World Cup. Well,

621
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: I think it could have been ready, but they couldn't

622
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: take that chance. It's like, yeah, you're playing, cannot leave

623
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: your airport until the rain is over with at the

624
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 2: airport of your destination.

625
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: So I get it. They don't want to take that chance. Yeah,

626
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: I agree to the stadium. It's the NFL. It's got

627
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: to be ready months out. That's that's why I say,

628
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: let the World Cup kind of break it in. Let

629
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: them break it in, then break it in, and then

630
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what else they're dying to get back though,

631
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: because look, they have seven international games this year, right,

632
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: They've got eight next year, assuming they keep all these right, right, right,

633
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: and it's only going to go up. Eventually it goes

634
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: to sixteen. And guess all right, this is my theory.

635
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: They go with a sixteen. However, many games are gonna

636
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: play internationally. They put them all on one slate and

637
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: it belongs to Netflix. I tell you why. Absolutely. I

638
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: think they'll make more money from that than they will

639
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: try to sell it internationally. You know, even domestically you

640
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: could say, oh, Fox, you have this game, or NFL

641
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: Network you have that game. Fine, whatever. An NFL network

642
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: allegedly about to be bought by Disney. But we'll see

643
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: if that happens, because that rumor has been out there

644
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: for a long time. But with Netflix, and this came

645
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: down with Ted Serrando speaking to the NFL Brass They

646
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: were seen in seventy two countries with the Christmas Day

647
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: double Holy Cow, and the numbers were astronomical, right, And

648
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: it was Netflix that wanted Beyonce to do the big

649
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: halftime show. They said, we need a big halftime show,

650
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: and Goodell admitted this. He said, all right, let's go,

651
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: let's go. We'll make halftime a little bit longer, and

652
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: they put on a super Bowl worthy halftime show with Beyonce.

653
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: In fact, I liked it better than the Super Bowl

654
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: halftime show anyway. They love this and the fact that

655
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: you can go over borders with Netflix so easily, that

656
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: gives them automatic international distribution on a grand scale. That's

657
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: why I think Netflix is going to have the entire

658
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: schedule and they can afford it.

659
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: Now.

660
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: It's not one of these big tech companies like Amazon

661
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: or you know YouTube, which has obviously YouTube as Google.

662
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: They're owned by Google and Amazon as all the products,

663
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: so they have a different kind of text situation. Apple

664
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: would be in that mix too, but I don't think

665
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: they've shown interest. Although Apple, get your act together. This

666
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: is the sport that people want to watch. I know

667
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: you have MLS. Do they still have that deal? Major

668
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: League Baseball? Really? Really apparently the MLS deal is not

669
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: going well. How could it be going well? I don't

670
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: know even the Baseball The Astros were on the first Friday,

671
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: they were on right, So I go to Space City.

672
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they're not on here. Oh I know

673
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: where they're on Apple. And Apple is such a pain

674
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: in the you know what.

675
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Like I've got Exfinity, so I can access it through there,

676
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: but if I don't sign in on every TV individual

677
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: I get it. And I was like, I don't even

678
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: want to go through that right now. So I'm gonna

679
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: watch something out but here. And that's to me, as

680
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: crazy as it sounds.

681
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: That makes Netflix that much more accessible because I feel

682
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: like their user interface is so so good, Like I

683
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: feel like getting into Netflix.

684
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it's so easy, it's the best. Apple stinks. Yeah,

685
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: Apple like like it doesn't remember where you were half

686
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, who are you? I'm like, I

687
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: watch you every day. I've been watching what was the

688
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: last show, Oh Silo, remember what episode I'm on? Sorry?

689
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Netflix, knowing what you just said about

690
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: seventy two countries, that's incredible.

691
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised. I think Netflix did the right

692
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: thing and has done the.

693
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: Right thing in well, we don't want like a Fox

694
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: or a CBS package.

695
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: We want kind of a tailored package. And this is

696
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: the way I think it's gonna look.

697
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: So it's kind of gonna be like everything else, it's

698
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna stop having you know, like two decades ago,

699
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: it's like we all cable, we all these packages for cable,

700
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: watched everything right there. Now we've gotten to a point

701
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: where we kind of choose, pick and choose. Do we

702
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 2: want Paramount, you want Netflix, you want Hulu? You know,

703
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: do you want Apple TV? Like, which one of these

704
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: do you want? And then you go, I want these? Well, okay,

705
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: you don't want Peacock. Hey, we don't want Peacock, but

706
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: we've got this, and you kind of pick and choose

707
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: what you want. And I think Netflix is kind of

708
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: doing that with their They're saying, you know, we don't

709
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: want the full package, we'd like to have this. We

710
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: think this would be maximized and I think they've done

711
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: a brilliant job with their live stuff.

712
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: They're profitably. You know, the Apple streaming service not profit

713
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: Amazon not profitable, Paramount Plus not profitable, Peacock. No, Netflix

714
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: is profitable. They clearly know what they're doing. You mentioned it.

715
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: The interface is great. You know the show Suits, right

716
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: that gained a lot of popularity. Right now. I picked

717
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: up Suits on Amazon during COVID because it was on Amazon,

718
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: it was on Prime, so that's where I watched it.

719
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Galant had a tweet and said, Hey, this shows Suits

720
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: is pretty good. I was like, I don't even know

721
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: if I've ever heard of that. I started watching. I

722
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: binged the whole all nine seasons. I binged it. So

723
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: then a couple two three years later it ends up

724
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: on Netflix, where it discovers a whole new audience. And

725
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: here's here's a fun fact. Now, Suits was originally on

726
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: USA network, right, yes, that was his home for nine seasons.

727
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: More people watched Suits in the first three or four

728
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: months on Netflix than the entire nine year run on

729
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: USA networks. That is staggering. That's that's the power of

730
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: Netflix right there.

731
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: That is crazy. It's absolutely absolutely crazy. By the way,

732
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: when you're talking about watching shows. My son finished Sopranos.

733
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: Oh he did, Okay, so of course I know how

734
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: it ends. Yeah, Oh you watch it. Don't stop believing scene.

735
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh was he pissed? He was, Yeah, see, you.

736
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: Got a brand new reaction to It's so mad. He

737
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 3: started screaming and cussing. Its top his luck because he

738
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: I was waiting because it goes black, and he just like.

739
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: And he just he didn't know what to do. He

740
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: was like, is that believe it is? I spent six

741
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: seasons to get to this. Yeah. I texted Sean better guys.

742
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: I just texted him because I had been kind of

743
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: telling Sean about you know, Jack, and he knows Jack

744
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: from when Shawn had Radio together and I texted him.

745
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 2: I was literally texting him in real time with TAXI.

746
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: He was so mad. That's awesome to get that reaction.

747
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: That reaction so and it's so funny. That reaction changed

748
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: the way series would end. I think because Breaking Bad

749
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: had a it's not a happy ending, but it's a

750
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: satisfying They tie things up into sopranos. You never knew

751
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: what happened to the Russian in the woods. Yes, exactly.

752
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: He killed ten Chuckoslovakians. I mean it's one of her favorites.

753
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: It's one of our favorites. Yes, exactly. They had a

754
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: lot of loose ends and then you don't know what

755
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: really happened to Tony. Now, not knowing what really happened

756
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: is okay, But the way it abruptly ended was, oh,

757
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: come on, give me some closure, give me something.

758
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: And what I thought was interesting was it well, I

759
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: don't know what. It's twenty twenty five. It finished in

760
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. I think it was eighteen years

761
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: after the fact. But Jack never looked up how it ended.

762
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: He didn't look up any of that, so he had

763
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: no idea. So it was a visceral spoilers reaction. I

764
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: didn't spoil it. Seven it went off the air. Oh seven, Yeah,

765
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: it was seven. It's a it was a great rewatch

766
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: that just hit me hard. Yeh Seeven got the flip phone,

767
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: Like that's when he's either got the flip phone, he's

768
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: not texting anybody.

769
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: They got the box right on the table.

770
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 3: It was.

771
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: The funny thing is we were watching it that same

772
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: night that there were media members. I think it was

773
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: from Alabama, some guys that filed from Alabama that were

774
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: playing up in New Jersey because they played the regional

775
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: up in New Jersey against Duke and they who they

776
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: beat the they.

777
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: Made all the threes at b Yu the ban all

778
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: the threes. God uh.

779
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: And they went to that restaurant and so I knew

780
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: it was coming and I just wanted. I was like,

781
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the reaction. Well then when

782
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: it ends and goes black, he doesn't react at all,

783
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: and I thought, huh, okay, and then all of a sudden,

784
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: like probably ten seconds later, he's like, what's that?

785
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Is that it? Because I just I was dying laughing.

786
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: So it's awful, it is.

787
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: It definitely has changed the way it shows. You kind

788
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: of want things to no matter how they're going to

789
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: tie up. Yeah, you know, I'm breaking bad. Walter dies

790
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: like right, it was probably the best way to tie

791
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: a song. Baby blew and all that Game of Thrones

792
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: ended badly. I get it, but at least it ended right.

793
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: At least they made an attempt to sort of end

794
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: the show. Everyone was really disappointed because I watched.

795
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: All these seasons for this crappy, horrible ending that looks

796
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: like you threw it together on the back lot really

797
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: awful anyway. All right, when we get back AFC South headlines,

798
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: including your Texans from the NFL Annual Meeting. Nick Cassario

799
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: speaking a couple of times this week, the Miko Ryan's,

800
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: the McNair's all of it next here on Texans Radio.

801
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: All right, final journey into this night here on Texans Radio.

802
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: Mark vandermin and John Harris with you from the Hunday

803
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio. So how about Jonathan Alexander writing about

804
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: the McNair's visit that he had, because we had the

805
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: McNair's out last night, and they're talking about facility possibilities

806
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans outside of the building in Hannah

807
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: and Cal discussed the fact that, look, you share the

808
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: building with the rodeo. That's one thing, but there's a

809
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff running through here, and the Texans

810
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: really only have control of certain areas of the building

811
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: and certain dates on the calendar, obviously all the NFL games,

812
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: and they get something like five to six more dates

813
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: to stage a Bowl game with the Lone Star Sports

814
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: and Entertainment, Battle of the Bands, the soccer events. But

815
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: that's it, it's over. You can't have other events in here,

816
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: and then it becomes a situation where Disney on Ice

817
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: is going on during the season, You're getting ready for

818
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: a big game, and there's this princess walking down the hall.

819
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: It's weird sometimes to be here. That's really cool. I've

820
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: talked about that aspect of it, but it's also kind

821
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: of strange. And one revelation, it's not really a revelation,

822
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: but a nugget I got from this story and I

823
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: didn't realize this. The Texans are one of only four

824
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: teams to house themselves inside their stadium. Oh in the

825
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: entire league. Now, I guess the Chiefs wouldn't be included

826
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: their facilities on the campus of the stadium, but it's

827
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: completely separate facility, right. I think the Bills are the

828
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: same way, if I'm not mistaken, and they're obviously building

829
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: a new stadium, so that was notable to me. There

830
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: are two numbers here that I think jump out to people.

831
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: Because all the stadium talk has been circulating, people ask

832
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: me about it all the time. There are only six

833
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: stadiums in the league that are older than this one,

834
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: and the Texans are one of four to house themselves

835
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: their facility inside the stadium, and I'll give you one more.

836
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: This is a vander fact, it's an actual fact. But

837
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: I've put it this way to Houstonians who questioned me,

838
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: and I get questioned all the time about the stadium.

839
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: In astrodome years, NRG Stadium is at nineteen ninety. In

840
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: astronome years, think about nineteen ninety, but already blew up

841
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: the scoreboard yep, and was complaining and threatening to move

842
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville and other places. Right the astros were already

843
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: we got to get out of here. Yep. Nineteen ninety

844
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: at the Astrodome. That's what NRG Stadium is. Right now.

845
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: People still think it's a brand new stadium. No it's not.

846
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: It's been around for a while. We all feel so young,

847
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: and that's wonderful for us. But the stadium needs some help. Yeah.

848
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely, when you were going through all the different things

849
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: that essentially go through the building, some of during the season.

850
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 2: I remember, I think it was twenty eighteen when the

851
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of India came in.

852
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whole my I that was big.

853
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: That was huge. It was enormous and they completely took

854
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: over everything.

855
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 2: Now they were nice as they could be, Yeah, there

856
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: were groups that come to were curtains, but there were curtains.

857
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: There were flowers, like all these different and flowers and colors.

858
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: You're playing a game in the middle of the season,

859
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: and Bill O'Brien basically is like, what the like, what

860
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: is this? Yeah, and I think you know, rodeo time,

861
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: you know this down we live on the service level.

862
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: So we're down here at the service level where studio

863
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: is right across the locker room and and so you

864
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: just have you know, dirt and dust, you know, all

865
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: over the place as guys are trying to work out,

866
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: and you just it's fun because you see you know

867
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: these cowboys, you see people that are working for the rodeo.

868
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: You see these musicians you know that come in Rolling Stones. Yeah,

869
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones. I mean it's you know, Journey until

870
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: a Fire. So you have all that.

871
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: So there's there's a level of coolness to it. But

872
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: it can be very disruptive and on a number of

873
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: different levels. It's distracting and distracting too. Yeah, it's it's tough. Look,

874
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: you should be able to make the most of it.

875
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: And the Texans get great grades in these annual reports,

876
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: these player surveys because I've said it before. The rooms

877
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: within the building that the Texans control, they developed those

878
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: rooms really well. They make them outstanding for the players,

879
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: the services, the service, the weight room, the trainer's room,

880
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: the nutrition area, cafe, all that stuff outstanding. But I

881
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 2: think that it says something when you don't have control

882
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: of the building and everything else. We talked about these

883
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 2: diversions and distractions. Imagine if you're a potential rookie coming

884
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: here for a thirty visit, like during during the rodeo.

885
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what's on our field right now? Yeah,

886
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's interesting.

887
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: I think for somebody i've seen you know, uh, you know,

888
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 2: there were some I guarantee you there were some thirty

889
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 2: visits that were taking place during the rodeo.

890
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

891
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 2: I think I think Football Ops does a really good

892
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: job of making sure that that it doesn't turn out

893
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: to be as disruptive. But I think one thing stood

894
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: out from what Nick said, which kind of you think

895
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: about it and you're like, ah, maybe he said, and

896
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: we've had a couple of people that we've talked to

897
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: here in this building tell us he said there were

898
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: thirty players at least here before conditioning starts in a

899
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 2: voluntary uh, in a voluntary fashion here working out down

900
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 2: on the service level in our workout buildings. You and like,

901
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 2: if you want to continue to do that year after

902
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: year and you're setting a standard and you're getting more

903
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: and more guys to end up staying, it's it's tough

904
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: to be doing all that. Like they go out in

905
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: the hallway and they're banging medicine balls against the wall,

906
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 2: right and they got they got to stop as like

907
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: a work truck with like the Rodeo has to go by.

908
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean, those are things that you know, other other

909
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: places aren't aren't having to deal with. But I look,

910
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: I think you would. You would agree it's good marriage

911
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: between Rodeo and the Texans.

912
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: It really is.

913
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: But there are just some things that can be disruptive

914
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 2: at certain times during that month, which is a key

915
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 2: month for the Texans because of free agency, thirty visits

916
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: for the draft, all the football things that go with it.

917
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: When you mentioned that though the thirty players, I thought

918
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: it was a reminder because I heard Nick talking about

919
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: that this morning. It's a reminder of why you need

920
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: to be listening to us every night. We've been talking

921
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: about this for weeks. How many guys are in here,

922
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: how amazing it is to see the turnout pre offseason

923
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: conditioning program. And it's a question that I gave Demiko

924
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: Ryan's Monday morning at seven fifteen Eastern, six fifteenth Central,

925
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: when I talked to him and we aired that Monday night.

926
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,960

927
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: Ryans conversation, because he was beaming when I brought that up.

928
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being a head coach? Your guys are

929
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: in here, they want to be together. It's awesome.

930
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, at a time when they don't have, when they

931
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: got all the money that they could want to be

932
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: anywhere at this facility in Phoenix or this facility in

933
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 2: Florida or whatever, and like yeah, and you know it

00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: The rodeo got in here. Fully, I remember I'm walking.

937
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit of a distance away, but I'm like,

938
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: I just tell how kind of how guys walk. I

939
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 2: can kind of tell who they are, and I especially

940
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: Kaylen Bullock. I could tell Kaylen for sure, and I

941
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 2: know if Kaylen's somewhere, then I know the guy next

942
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: to him is probably Kamari. And I see them coming

943
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: out of the weight room and you know, kind of

944
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, full on sweat. I'm like, man, they are

945
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: they working out here like rookies. I saw CJ last week. Yeah,

946
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, these guys are here. They're here, and I'm like,

947
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: that's really impressive. And then I have to be walking

948
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: by one day and they were all doing medicine ball

949
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: stuff outside and I wasn't doing the counting, but I'm like,

950
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: just mentally, I'm like, that's more guys than I've seen here,

951
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 2: and they're here voluntarily. And then you heard Stings say

00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: when I talked to him a couple weeks ago.

955
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: He's like, Nico set that standard.

956
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,360

957
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,759

961
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: veteran leader to me, like the years fly by so fast.

962
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, third round draft choice Nico Collins

963
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,600

964
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: to dig yourself out. He's one of those picks. That's

965
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,640
