There's some funny and 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: I know you're probably sitting there going, I've got one. Oh, 24 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I've got one. Once you hear that, you still definitely 25 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: trigger some because there was something I was thinking about 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: and then I would think about something else and I 27 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I got so I've got a list 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: of about twelve. I hope I get three or four 29 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: of them, but all of them started kind of flooding in. 30 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure as I hear theirs, I want to draft 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: some of theirs as well, or something ancillary to that. 32 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: So our Wednesday Night draft football pet peeves. I kind 33 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: of wish Mark were here for that because this is 34 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: kind of Marks Mark, I know would tell you about overtime. 35 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: He hates NFL overtime, so he would definitely that would 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: be one of his football pet piece. We're also gonna 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: have David Fletcher GM of ls s's gonna stop by. 38 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: We're talking about a coug football. The Football Bowl Association 39 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: was here in town with its annual meetings, and so 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: Fletch has been dealing a lot with that, and so 41 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: he was over there yesterday. Bill O'Brien spoke to the 42 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: crew and some great stuff coming out of there, And 43 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: I got a question for him, as it pertains to 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: bowls and players at don't play the balls. Is it 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: impacting them? This impacted the balls? I tend to think 46 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: that in some cases it's impacting some players too. And 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: I think the way that NFL teams are looking at them, 48 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: it becomes it becomes an interesting talking point. I think 49 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: in a few years you're gonna start to see you 50 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: go the other way because the NFL is saying of 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: these players, look, you tell me you're a team player, 52 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: but you're not playing your ball game. That's not a 53 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: team player thing to do. So from that perspective, pretty 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: interesting stuff. So we'll talk with David Fletcher in the 55 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: next segment. But it's time to go in the lab. 56 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: Each and every week Do and I go in the lab, 57 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: and this week we geeked out on what our master's 58 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: dinner would be. We also talked about what we did 59 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: to let me talk tell me about and you can 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: hear that, but we also did some Texans offense over unders. 61 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: So here you are from in the lab podcast, you'd 62 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: already and myself, it's just some overs and unders. John 63 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: last year, Shaun Watson through twenty nine touchdown or speaking 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: last year through twenty six this year? Will he throw 65 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: more or less than twenty nine? I'm assuming One of 66 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: those questions is how many games Will Fuller places over 67 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: under a certain number? So if I go over that number, 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: then I gotta go over because as soon as Will 69 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: Fuller's on the field. When Will Fullers on the field 70 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson, there's almost a guaranteed touchdown gonna happen 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: in that game. They've played together eleven times, they've eleven games, 72 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: and they've he's thrown eleven touchdowns in those eleven games. 73 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: I'd like to know how many DeAndre Hopkins has had 74 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: as well, A good question because it's a pretty significant 75 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: number as well. So I just off the top of 76 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: my head, I remember in the game against Kansas City 77 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Fuller head two, Hopkins head three. In 78 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: the Seattle game, Hopkins had two, Fuller head two. So 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: it's eleven and eleven games for Fuller, it's probably at 80 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: a minimum nine to eleven for hop in those games, 81 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: that's twenty two right there, anywhere twenty two and that's 82 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: an eleven games. You feel like he he throws a 83 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: couple more in the other five games, then you're talking 84 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: another I think he's gonna be over. There's gonna coup 85 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: of time where that twenty nine just gets obliterated and 86 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: that's the best that anyone, any Texans quarterback is. Yeah, 87 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: it's twenty nine. Was shopping ten, ten or nine. I 88 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: think that number is gonna get obliterated at some point, 89 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping it's twenty nineteen. It would be kind 90 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: of nice because then he can just keep obliterating that number. 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: But I think he gets into the thirty category. I'm 92 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: going over over over all, Right, the tight end position. 93 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: All players who are tight ends, so Fells, Griffin, Yep, Thomas, 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: and Akins. Maybe one of them's not there, maybe there's 95 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: another a rookie added to the mix. But the tight 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: end spot as a whole combined will catch six and 97 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: a half touchdown passes. I'm gonna go under, not not 98 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think they'll produce. You think that why 99 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: receivers is gonna gobble up those scores. I think I 100 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: think the wide receivers get something. I think they'll probably 101 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: be in the four five range. I don't know that 102 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: that big baby you'll get all of them, but it 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: four last year. I do think. I do think the 104 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: tight ends will will with Aikens and Thomas and Griffin 105 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: in particular, and we'll see what Fells. And interesting with 106 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: Fells like how much of a pass receiver he is 107 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: or what they need him to be. I mean, really 108 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: he's a good pass protector. It's kind of interesting from 109 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: that perspective. But but he's caught three touchdowns each. I 110 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: think you have options with the tight ends, which is nice, 111 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: but I think what's gonna end up happening just looking 112 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: at those eleven games that Will has played with Deshaun 113 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: and Deander. In that game, how many big plays were there? 114 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: There were a ton a ton of big plays. They're 115 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: scoring way outside the red zone, and even when they 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: got in the red zone, they were they were running 117 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: at zone read hit the slant across the middle. I 118 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: mean that was that was total money. It's been money 119 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: since they've had Deshaun. So the receivers I think are 120 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: you can get the line share. I do think the 121 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: tight ends will remain, will remain productive in the passing game. 122 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: But I think the big plays get them in the 123 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: end zone, and I think that's where that's where they're 124 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: gonna have uh that's where that the receivers will really 125 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of take over. I would I wouldn't be surprised 126 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: in that number over twenty nine. If hop and will 127 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: both get over ten, and if they both get over ten, 128 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: shut it down. It's crazy because no Texans receiver had 129 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: double digit receiving touchdowns until Hopkins in twenty fifteen. Yeah, 130 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: the first thirteen years your franchise, you didn't have that. 131 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: It's bananas. I think six and a half. I think 132 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: the Texans, the tight ends are gonna hit that. I 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: really do, because Fells is a big target and I 134 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: think I think people are sleeping on him. I think 135 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna end. And then I think, Jordan Nakins, you 136 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: didn't catch any last year. I think you will catch 137 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: something this year. I think Thomas will, you know, keep 138 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: keep producing. He's another big target. I think they're gonna 139 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: hit it over. I think they're gonna ghit that over. 140 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna mildly disagree with you. John, 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: That's fine. I would love to see them his So 142 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if the running backs get involved in passing 143 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: game like they're supposed to, and Kiki is back healthy 144 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: like he's supposed to be, and Will and Hop get 145 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: to the number I think they're gonna get to. I 146 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: think you're talking about double digits for both of them. 147 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Kiki and at least the five 148 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: to seven range, which would be fantastic, and then you know, 149 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: running back gets a couple here there. I do think 150 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: the tight ends get four five. So I think you're 151 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: talking about thirty two thirty three touchdowns for to Sean 152 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: at that point, if he's obviously playing all sixteen games. 153 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: So I just I feel like the number six and 154 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: a half is a good number because I feel like, 155 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, like four five, six even is a good 156 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: number for that group. About this number thirteen hundred who 157 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: combined receiving yards for Will Fuller, and I'm going over, 158 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: Now that's fingers crossed, but I'm going over if if 159 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: they're both healthy for sixteen games, they'll obliterate that number. 160 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Will in sixteen games, even if 161 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Will catches only fifty balls, he'll be he'll be near 162 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: a thousand yards. But I think he's gonna catch more 163 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: than that. I think he's proven that if he's healthy, 164 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: the way that he was playing receiver last year, how 165 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: refined his game has become. Then you're throwing qt you know, 166 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: one of these one of the you know, look, he 167 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: had eleven catches at Indie the first time, and he 168 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: had over one hundred yards. He ends up treating it's 169 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: almost like a run game kind of thing. But it's like, 170 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, if he's catching eight nine balls, you know 171 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be you know, seventy seventy five yards on 172 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: a minimum. He's doing that each week, will doing his 173 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: thing each week. I think you got an opportunity to 174 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: go well over a thirteen hundred all right, plus or minus. 175 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Last year turnover differential, Texans were plus thirteen. They had 176 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: thirteen more takeaways than they did turnovers. That's really high. 177 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: That was second best in the NFL. It's a really, really, 178 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: really good season. So let's I'm gonna recalibrate. Do you 179 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: think the Texans are gonna be over or under a 180 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: plus six next year turnover differentials? If you're plus six, 181 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: still in the top, Yeah, it's still pretty good. Yeah, 182 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean you were really smoking in that category. So 183 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: plus thirteen last year, you get more than halved, but 184 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: you're still a six over. I'm gonna go I'm gonna 185 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's tough. Okay, So here's my logic. I'm 186 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna go under. Here's my logic. We can still have 187 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: a great season if you go under. There's no question. 188 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: There's no question. But I feel like with Will and 189 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: hop when those two are on the field, I feel 190 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: like Deshan takes more chances, and when he takes more chances, 191 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: it does lead to bigger plays. But I think it 192 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: does lead to to some turnovers at times. The one 193 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: thing that's the one thing that that are bat well 194 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: at least Lamar doesn't do much. Now, Deante did fumble 195 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: on the Eagles game, so he's got his his ball 196 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: security's got to be much better this year, and you 197 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: don't know what a rookie might bring in from that perspective. 198 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: But they didn't fumble the ball much, and when they 199 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: did fall well, it wasn't really the cause of just 200 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: being lazy with it. The only one that was that 201 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: you would go well was the Dallas game when with 202 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: DeAndre he had the ball on one hand, it got 203 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: popped out, Lamar fumbled into the Giants game, and then 204 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: obviously DeShawn and Lamar kind of botched the handoff the 205 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: first handoff of the year. But other than that, they 206 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: really didn't fumble the ball. The only times they did 207 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: were when Deshan got hit, like against Philly, Chris Long 208 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: hit him, hit Hi from behind and fall the ball 209 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: that way. But they really don't fumble the ball, but 210 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: Deshan will take chances throwing it. I do think that 211 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: last year turnover wise, man, they were just ballhawks. They're 212 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: over the place. But you're adding in Gibson, who I 213 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: think can be that way. You're adding in Bradley Roby, 214 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: who hopefully in man coverage, can make some plays. So 215 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: I do think that you've got the opportunity to create 216 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: some You still have what coming off the edge, and 217 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: he created a ton of turnovers last year. So I 218 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: feel like talking myself over plus, I just think that 219 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: getting to that number, doing it back to back years 220 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: is so hard, is so hard. But I do feel 221 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: like getting it's gonna be under because I do think 222 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: the defense will take more chances because DeShawn knows he's 223 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: got hopping will and so he's gonna take more chances 224 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: trying to get the ball to those two guys. So 225 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say under that plus six, Okay, God that 226 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: kills me. We did that a couple days ago, and 227 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: I thought about that overnight, and I really feel like 228 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: they can get the plus six. I just think it's 229 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. They had a really good turnover year 230 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: last year, and as I mentioned, it didn't fumble the 231 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: ball a lot, and DeShawn got the interception bug sort 232 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: of curtailed. But week four, Week five, Week five, I guess, well, 233 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: you did have the one against against Dallas, but then 234 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: he had a stretch of three or four games where 235 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: he didn't throw an interception. We didn't have a turnover. 236 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: So I do think we'll create turnovers. But I think 237 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: it's imperative that we have both Clownie and Watt. We 238 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: have a defensive back in the draft that can create plays. 239 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Sean Gibson creates some turnovers, then I think they can 240 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: get the plus six. But they were so good at 241 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: doing it last year to repeat that year after year, man, 242 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: that's that and that's kind of my that's kind of 243 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: my thing. But I also think with Will coming back. 244 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: There's an opportunity to do some things down the field, 245 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: and they'll take some chances. No, no doubt Will back. 246 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: They'll definitely take some chances. And I can I can 247 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: live with that. I can live with a couple interceptions 248 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: because you're trying to throw a ball deep to Will 249 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: Fuller down the field. But I've been thinking more about 250 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: having Will back. Man, I cannot wait just watching this 251 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: team with Will Fuller in the lineup versus not having him. Oh, 252 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: I just I don't even want to go there. I 253 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: just don't. I want to have Will Floor in this lineup. 254 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: I want to have Kiqt in this lineup. I want 255 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: to have DeAndre Hopkins in this lineup, and I want 256 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: to have to Shaun Upright in No. Six and two 257 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: sacks this year, and then I want to see where 258 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: this offense is. They could be scary, but they all 259 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: got to be healthy. And that's a big, big if, 260 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: given the injury history of those players I mentioned, not 261 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, of course, but uh that's that is key 262 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: and it's paramount this twenty teen season. All Right, We're 263 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna talk to college football next with our good friend, 264 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: general manager of Lone Star Sports entertainment.

Um. Of course, 283 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: he was joined by Commissioner Bob Bowles Me from the 284 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: Big twelve, Greg Sanky from the sec are are our 285 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: partners conference partners in the Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas 286 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: Bowl and all really given some great insight into the 287 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: future of football and in college football in particular, as 288 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: well as just talking about some of the issues that 289 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: that on the horizon as it relates to to football. 290 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: So uh you you know as well as anybody that 291 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: football is a three hundred and sixty five day year thing. 292 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: College football has its ebbs and flows, but it's really 293 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: great to be able to be talking about it, uh 294 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: this much. In early April, I hope somebody at Bill 295 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: O'Brien's meeting asked him about going to bowl games because 296 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: me as at Penn State, he never went to a 297 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: bowl game. Now, he did go when he was at 298 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and then I think at Maryland. But but yeah, 299 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: just ironic. But to that end, Fletch, I could ask 300 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: this question a lot by people because we saw this, 301 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: uh we saw this here at couple of years ago, 302 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think if it happened this year, no, 303 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: because I think I mean with Vanderbilt and Baylor, Jalen 304 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: Hurd was hurt. But Joan Williams played in the game, 305 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, two years ago against when Texas played Missouri. 306 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: Connor Williams been playing a game and um Lee Jefferson 307 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: was banged up, but he could have played maybe, but 308 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: he decided not to. Even had players that have decided Okay, 309 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to play in a bowl game. It's 310 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: not really impacted us all that much here and the 311 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: bowl game has been strong, as strong as any game, 312 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: any bowl game there is. But was there any worry? 313 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: Has there ever been talk amongst the the FBA, the 314 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: group that you know, the players not playing in bowl 315 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: games is impacting the bowls in any way, shape or form. 316 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: Has there been any of that sort of domino effect 317 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: or has it been just two few selected guys that 318 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: do it that the Bowl game still goes on because 319 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: the Bowl game is what it is, and a player 320 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: decides that to play, it's fine. We still have got 321 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: the two teams that we want to have in it. 322 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: What's been sort of the impact that that you've kind 323 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: of hurt about bowls from that perspective, cause I know 324 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of analysts out there like the 325 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: bulls will eventually die and I don't know that I 326 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: agree with that. I don't think the Bulls will die 327 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: because step in our building for the Texas Bowl. I mean, 328 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: step in there and watch that Bowl game and tell 329 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: me that the bull is going to die in a 330 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: short amount of time. I just don't see it happening. 331 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: What have been your thoughts or what have you heard? Well, 332 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: I certainly would say that to start with your last point, 333 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: the Bowl industry is the strong a part of the 334 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: communities as it's ever been. Um, you know, you're talking 335 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: about an industry that delivers over one point five billion 336 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: dollars in annual economic impact thirty three communities here in 337 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: the United States. Over twenty five thousand student athletes, from 338 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: the players to the band, students to spirit groups have 339 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: had positive experiences each and every year in Bowl games. 340 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: And you look at the financials, over four hundred and 341 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars distributed back to higher education institutions just 342 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: last year alone. So when the demise is greatly I 343 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: think overstated, but it is certainly something that is a 344 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: topic of the discussion. When he relates to players participating 345 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: in the game. Uh, you know. My my stance on 346 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: it is certainly that it is a personal choice. UM, 347 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: and that is something that I think that that the 348 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: players themselves have. But as as as a promoter, you know, 349 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: you certainly want to have the best product on the 350 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: field that you possibly can. The fans are traveling in, 351 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: they're paying money. Um, they want to see and support 352 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: their their teams and all their players. You look at 353 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: two instances here in Houston that I think do make 354 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: a lot of sense as to why it's a it's 355 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: it's a very important reason to play in the game. UM. 356 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: You know, and I point to two thousand and fifteen 357 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: Texas I'm sorry, two thousand and sixteen Texas A and 358 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: M playing against Kansas State here. Um, Myles Garrett was 359 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: going to be the number one pick in the draft, 360 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: no question about it. Had an unbelievable season, um, and 361 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: he flat out said, I'm playing with my teammates. He 362 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: played his butt off, he was out there on the field, 363 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: and when they lost that game in the last seconds, 364 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: that guy was pouring his heart out, you know, just 365 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: as much as any other player. And by the way, 366 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: he was drafted as the number one overall. You mentioned 367 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: the University of Texas and twenty seven team. You know, 368 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: I talked to coach Churman about this a lot, and 369 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: and you know, again he respects the decisions that were 370 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: made UH in the in the in the UH student athletes' mind. 371 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at what happened with Texas, 372 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: they had seven players that were either injured or um 373 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: for other reasons, we're not able to play seven starters, 374 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: they were not able playing that game against Missouri. That 375 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: meant seven players that wouldn't have typically gotten an opportunity 376 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: moved up in the depth chart. They got to play 377 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: a big time stage, a full house here, and coach 378 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: has said that that success that those players had, that 379 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: experience that they had, was a huge catalyst for the 380 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: success that Texas had last year. So, you know, there's 381 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: certainly many sides of this, this equation, but I do 382 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: think um at the end of the day that the Bulls, 383 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: the Bulls will certainly benefit from having the best product 384 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: on the field. But there's a lot of reasons why 385 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: those kids should be playing, and that that's a decision 386 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: that's up to them, no doubt, and I think there 387 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: will be over the next few years as we learn 388 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: more about that process. I think there will be more 389 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: and more players that go. Await a second, this has 390 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: looked down upon a little bit more by the NFL. 391 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: And here's the other thing too. If you're playing this 392 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: game in particular, you're playing in NFL building, right, You're 393 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: playing in front of NFL coaches, the NFL, I mean, 394 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: our entire scouting staff I think was there for that 395 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: particular game. So you have that. I mean, it's an 396 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: audition of if anything else, but I think it's interesting 397 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: you brought up Texas, Texas and Rice. We've got that 398 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: game coming in here September fourteenth, and tickets are going 399 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: on sale this Friday. Let's try. I'm I'm pumped. You 400 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: talked about Texas and Tom Herman and what they've done 401 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: and how they've honestly turned things around but really have 402 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: got things going in the right direction. I think one 403 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: of the one of the things you'll see this weekend 404 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: or in a couple of weekends, because you'll see the 405 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: NFL Draft. You'll see players from University of Texas taken. 406 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: You'll see Loyal Jordan Humphrey, You'll see Charles and menehw 407 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: and that's just gonna be the start. I think what 408 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna see down the road more and more years 409 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: after this is you're gonna see Texas with five, six, 410 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: seven guys drafted each and every year. With the recruiting 411 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: that Tom's doing there, how exciting is it to have 412 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: a team of that caliber coming off that win against Georgia. 413 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: To have them here the second week, but probably the 414 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: second third week of the season against Rice on that 415 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: Saturday following University of Houston Washington State. I mean, it's 416 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: the biggest weekend of college football in the history of 417 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: the stadium in this community. To have the local hometown 418 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: teams playing in big time games against big time opponents, 419 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a huge opportunity for both 420 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: of these institutions. You look at you look at Mike 421 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: Bloomgrin and what he's doing over at Rice his second year, 422 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: I mean, got one of the best recruiting classes that 423 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: they've had in a long, long time over at Rice. UH. 424 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: He comes in bringing a lot of energy to the program. 425 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: They had a tough year last year. It was a 426 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: rebuilding year. They're in the midst of a transition. But 427 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: he couldn't be more excited. I was at an event 428 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: with him just last week, and he couldn't be more 429 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: excited about the trajectory of where things are compared to 430 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: where he wants them to be. UM and and what 431 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: he's building over there, they've got already looking towards twenty 432 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: twenty UM. They're they're they're currently in a place where 433 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: they're the highs. And you know, this is as well 434 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: as anybody, uh, the highest ranked recruiting class that they've 435 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: ever had UM already at this point. So you know, 436 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: I think the opportunity to play on a big time 437 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: stage against a big time opponents certainly gonna be beneficial 438 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: to Rice and what he's trying to do. They've got 439 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: a really tough, tough stretch to open up. They have 440 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: Wake Army Texas and Baylor ooh uh so uh, they 441 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: know being here in this environment will certainly be helpful. 442 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: But let's make the mistake about it. There will be 443 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: a lot of longhorns here to watch Tom Herman and 444 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: the long Horns build on what they've they've built over 445 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of years since his arrival. I mean, 446 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: Texas is not in a rebuild, They're in a reload 447 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: at this point. And then and you saw that the 448 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: confidence that they had really coming out of that win 449 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: over Missouri and the Academy Sports and Outboors Texas Bowl 450 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. UM, last year really a great run 451 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: through the big twelve key wins over Oklahoma, a couple 452 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: of near misses, uh, and then that huge win over Georgia. 453 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: You know, I think they've got a shot to um 454 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: to do something special. Their schedule is lined up, UM 455 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: really well. They play LSU in Austin a week two, 456 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: so coming out of coming out of that game, they're 457 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna come here to Houston, and uh so there was 458 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: definitely gonna be a lot of excitement and a lot 459 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: of energy. And there already are a ton of Longhorns 460 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: here in Houston as we've seen over the years.

Tonight we are drafting football pet peeves. Oh yeah, 500 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: you all know you have them. We'll dive into those 501 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: for Deep Drew myself next right here in Texas Axis one, 502 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: final segment of Texans All Access, and it is our 503 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: Wednesday Night Draft. I'm John that is Drew and that 504 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: is Deep Deep High Hi, guys. So it's our Wednesdaynight Draft. 505 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: And I came up with a topic that is it's 506 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: a little controversial because Drew is not totally sure that 507 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to find it enough to make 508 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: it through a draft. I think there's going to be 509 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: enough that you're gonna find because tonight is our football 510 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: pet peeve draft. We all have them, all of us, 511 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: and we have multiple ones. We all have things that 512 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: were just like, Oh, that's that drives me insane. That's 513 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: my biggest pet peeve. Like, here's an example. This is 514 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: what I was thinking about drafting, but I figured i'd 515 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: I'd go this. I cannot stand the fact that when 516 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: an offensive team fumbles. Here's an example. I remember Seattle 517 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. We I think we were up fourteen seven. 518 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: We have fourteen seven. It's a third down. Russell Wilson 519 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: went back to throw and Clowney sacked him like and 520 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: hit his arm, and the ball went forward and Luke Wilson, 521 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: like twenty yards downfield. Luke Wilson fell on it, and 522 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: at first they ruled it was incomplete. Then they went 523 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: and replayed it. Pete Carroll through the flight. They reviewed it, 524 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: and Seattle gained a huge advantage by recovering a fumbles. Like, 525 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: wait a second, No, no fumbles should ever, no offensive 526 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: fumbles should ever be recovered at the spot. Well, that's 527 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: that's like the nonsense from Monday Night that Poortel and 528 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: kid from Texas Tech getting the thing at the end 529 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: of over right, I mean yeah, same, same type of different. Like, 530 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: that's my pet peeve. An offensive an offensive fumble should 531 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: never be recovered ahead. If you recover it, great, but 532 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: should go back to the spot of the funnel. It's 533 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: my pet peeve that hasn't changed. I know, but that's 534 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I have some obscure ones. I'm sure 535 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: that it's not one play. I've seen it. I'm seeing 536 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: it numerous times. But that's just the one example I 537 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: could come up with. I got it's good. It's good. 538 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: I might get in trouble with mine. That's fine, that's fine. 539 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: You can get in trouble. I get a talking to 540 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: you from bosses here. No, are we doing a draft order? Yep, 541 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: you go first. No, we don't have to snake. We 542 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: don't have to snake, but we're gonna. We're gonna because 543 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: I figured you guys might have some of the same 544 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: pet peeves I do, and probably you would have drafted 545 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: them ahead of me, and so then you can have them. Yeah. 546 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, So back on the Wednesday night draft dpe. 547 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: I love the draft. No, no no, no, no, no, no, 548 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: Well I'm not prepared. Well you are, you are, You'll 549 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: come even though I try to prepare. Yeah, you want 550 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: me go first to kind of kick things off. I 551 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: got one, got one, all right? I got a few, 552 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: but dp you go first? All right? My first one 553 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: is a pretty basic one. And being an engineer, this 554 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: has always bugged me. Ball spotting like the fact that 555 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: that after a play, a player can pick up the 556 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: ball and just put it wherever he wants, and then 557 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: a ref picks it up and puts it wherever he wants. 558 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: I just don't understand why technology can't be involved in this. 559 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: It's a good one. He didn't put a chip in 560 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 1: the ball. Tennis. My husband watches a ton of tennis. Um, 561 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: what do they what do they call it? Eagle eye hawkeye? Yeah, 562 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: technology twy so in in tennis, the hawkeye technology can 563 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: not only show you where the ball landed, it also 564 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: shows you the trajectory of where it was headed. So 565 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: you know they've been doing it. They've been doing it 566 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: for at least or close to twenty years. I don't 567 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: understand why we can't put a chip in the football. 568 00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: I that's a that's a great one. The entire affects 569 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: every game multiple times. I just you always disagree with 570 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: the spot People like that that's not a good spot. 571 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: That's a good spot. Like on every single controversial it's 572 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: a game of inches that's getting bigger, stronger, faster, and 573 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: exactly yes, I think he fell right there. That's a 574 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: good one. I like that one. Thank you all right, 575 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: Drew you here turn I get angry here at Energy 576 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: Stadium when the Texans have four cracks at the end 577 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: zone don't get in and then we shoot the cannon 578 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: off after the Texans kick a field goal. That that 579 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: infuriates me. Okay, it's it's that's no fun when you 580 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: don't score. But they're trying. They're trying, but we don't 581 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: need to shoot a cannon when we kick a freaking 582 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: field goal from had four more points. I got you. 583 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: It just makes me mad. I don't know. Now, Kaymie 584 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: Fairbairn bangs through like a fifty three yarder. That's cool. 585 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: Caree times he deserves cannon shot. I think even Kaymie 586 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: would tell you I don't need the cannon if you know, 587 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: kicking a nineteen yard field goal and etc. Et cetera. Anyways, see, 588 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: you didn't think you were going to do very well. 589 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's what I'm probably gonna 590 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: get talk to you about this. No, you know what 591 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: I think. I speak for many. I think you could 592 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: have dueling cannons if you hit a fifty pleasure here 593 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: from both sides that I don't fifty four cannons, I'm 594 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble with the defensive backs. I'm gonna 595 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: get in trouble with the defensive backs with mine. So 596 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: here's mine. I've seen so many defensive backs do this, 597 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: and it drives me insane. And there was there was 598 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: a video of this, and I laughed hysterically because this 599 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: is so true. I can't tell you how many times 600 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: I've seen defensive backs after a wide receiver drops a 601 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: pass or it's overthrown just a little bit, that the 602 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: defensive backs come up and give them no good signal 603 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: like they've done something. You haven't done anything, Bro, you 604 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: were burned, or you weren't where you were supposed to be. 605 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: That guy just dropped it, and you're walking up going 606 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: no good, like you haven't done anything, letting everybody credit 607 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: for it. No, we trust me. There were there were 608 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: were defensive backs that did that. Like I didn't have 609 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: any problem with Kareem. I had a little problem with Kareem. 610 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: When Kareem there would be a play and Kareem would 611 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: come up and he'd do the finger like that, like 612 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: don't don't come at me. I have a little problem 613 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: with that one too, because you know, the guy might 614 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: have like eight or nine catches, but then Kareem knocked off, 615 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: knocked down that. Now, he didn't do that when it 616 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: was a drop or it was an overthrow or something 617 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: like that. But there are defensive backs and I'm trying 618 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: to remember the one I saw do this, and I 619 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: just I was studying a prospect and I saw this 620 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: on tape and I like lost my mind. He was 621 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: like the guy was beat by five yards, the ball 622 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: was two or three yards over his head, and he 623 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: was signaling no good like he had done something like 624 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: I almost lost my mind. So that's mine. Defensive backs 625 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: signaling no good when they haven't done anything and it's 626 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: a drop or it was an overthrow. So that's my 627 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: that's my first one. All right, that works. I think 628 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: in my second round, I'm going to go off the 629 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: field into stadium etiquette. Okay, I take all of stadium 630 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: medican because I feel like I could write a rule 631 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: book on stadium Medican. I've watched a lot of games 632 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: from the stands, and I it makes me so mad 633 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: when people get up in the middle of a play 634 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: and it's like, this is what I would like to 635 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: get a beer? Like ball leaves quarterbacks hands, ball is 636 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: in the air, guy goes right in front of me, 637 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: Like you couldn't just wait a fraction of a second 638 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: for the play to be over. Baseball does a good 639 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: job of not letting people go to their seats in 640 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: between pitches. I think in football they should not let people. 641 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: People shouldn't get up or sit down or decide to 642 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: leave in the middle of a play, just wait in 643 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: between downs. There's lots of idle time. And because see 644 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: that's how out of touch I am. Because does that 645 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: happen a lot, I believe you. I just don't know 646 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot of touch. My wife tells me about that 647 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: all the time. Like where they are, they're like right 648 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of the road. They used to be 649 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: on the edge and they loved it, yeah, but then 650 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: they got put in the middle and they've got two 651 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: seats in the middle, and people are just up and down. 652 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: And my daughter's the one who gets upset because people 653 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: get up yeah, you have to get let them through 654 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: and I can't see what's going on. Yeah, it's not, 655 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: it's not. It depends on it's not. We used to 656 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: sit on the aisle, so people would. I mean, it 657 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: was all the time. And I used to bother me 658 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: when the other end of the aisle, like even if 659 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: you're closer to my side, but there's nobody for the 660 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: rest of the row, Like, don't make me and the 661 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,479 Speaker 1: kids and everybody get up when you could just go 662 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: the other way where there's fewer. Like I always count 663 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: when I'm at a game. If I'm in the middle 664 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: of a row, I be like, Okay, there's two people 665 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: this way that I have to get up. And maybe 666 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: I just overthink these things. But he used to happen. 667 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: A lot of people would get up in the middle 668 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: of the play. I also, as a like part b 669 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: to that, um the wave. Do you remember that game 670 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville a few years ago when fans started doing 671 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: the wave like the waves? Don't hate that care and 672 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: the game wasn't within reach. Still, it wasn't like it 673 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: was just a blow up in it. But I wanted to. 674 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: I hate kind of hate the way you're the same 675 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: reason because you're not arguing for it. I just don't understand. 676 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: You can't standard because because and for the same reason, 677 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: you're watching the play. All of a sudden, up here 678 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: comes the wave in our section and everybody gets up, 679 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: and it could be like a really important play or 680 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: something really is happening, and I just I just hate 681 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: that feeling of Oh, it's coming, and that's everyone's gonna 682 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: stand up, and I don't know what part of the 683 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: game it's gonna be. And maybe I mean, I don't 684 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: want if you're standing up to cheer it happen so quickly. No, 685 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: but it's but people going to do the wave when 686 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: we're on offense. Yeah, yeah, oh, don't do that. I 687 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: also hate him Baseball. You haven't done it here. No, 688 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: we don't do it. I don't. I've seen it at 689 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: different places, though it doesn't happen here. I see the 690 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: wave here. I see it at astro's game. At the 691 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: astro's game when when the Astros are pitching, they shouldn't 692 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: do the wave. Don't you agree? I don't, don't you? 693 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: I guess I just don't see it up with I 694 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: just like, don't I don't stay seedy when the wave 695 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: comes by. The people look at me like I've you know, 696 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 1: I need not their children or something. I'm like, I 697 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: just don't stand for the wave. I mean, that's right, 698 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: there's waves I've got. I'm gonna see your guy. I 699 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: don't mind the wave, but I don't like the dudes. 700 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: I don't like guy who starts the wave. Oh yeah, 701 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: he's trying to get the whole place to start. Hey, hey, lazy, okay, right, 702 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: mister cheerleader, you just sit back down again. Just let 703 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: people's gonna happen happen organically. But I guess it doesn't 704 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: happen again. It does not happen. A guy who starts 705 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: the wave. I hate him equally too, because I hate 706 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 1: the way. Okay, so it's time for minded. I'm probably 707 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: I know, I know I'm gonna get in trouble from 708 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: my fellow brethren out there in the media. But here 709 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: is my It's it's not just football media, but football 710 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: media does this too. And you know exactly. It's two words, 711 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: and when you hear it, it's like nails on a chalkboard. 712 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: Talk about Oh yeah, ask the question, what do you 713 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: think about this? How did you feel about that? What 714 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: was going through your mind, talk about performance US. I 715 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: cannot stand talk about because it's kind of an easy 716 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: it's an easy, lazy question. I just need you to 717 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: talk about this. Can you just talk about it? I mean, 718 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: if I if I were feeling good, if I was 719 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: feeling salty one day and somebody said, talk about the 720 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: Texans offense, be like, yeah, I have those vague questions, 721 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: like when they're a Twitter account recently that was devoted 722 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: just to athletic videos of athletes saying no or just 723 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: like we're refusing to do that. I think I've seen 724 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: that to talk about To tell the questions of talking 725 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: about US talk about's not actually a question talk about 726 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: as a demand. Yeah, I mean, I just look, there 727 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: are other ways. If you want to say, talk about, hey, coach, 728 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: what do you think of Joey's performance today? I mean, 729 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: it's saying the same thing, but you're asking a question 730 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: my pet peeve media talk about I don't like that one. 731 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: All right, dB, your turn round three. UM. I really 732 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: enjoy touchdown celebrations. I was really excited when they came back. Yeah, 733 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: and it really bothers me when they don't show the 734 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: entire touchdown celebration as part of the play on a broadcast. 735 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: They definitely never showed as a replay. But sometimes you 736 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: don't even see it the first time around, and I 737 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's hard to score touchdowns and 738 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: sometimes you just want to celebrate. This happened actually with 739 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: Bruce Ellington, uh and in New England he had the Rocks. 740 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: Was a great celebration. He did the rocks, he did 741 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: the elbow, he fell, he fell down on the ground. 742 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: And then a few weeks later and Desande it was brilliant, 743 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: It was brilliant. Nobody saw it. It's almost like it 744 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: didn't happen. And then a few weeks later, Golden Tater 745 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: somebody did the same thing, and The Rock reached out 746 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: to him on Twitter and was like, what a great celebration, 747 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,439 Speaker 1: And I thought, I got to write a story about 748 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: this because Bruce Ellington was the first. I think. Bruce 749 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: then called him out on social media like no, no no, 750 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I did it first. Nobody. He doesn't 751 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: he's not watching the TV copy, he doesn't know that 752 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: it wasn't televised. But I just think, you know, these 753 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: guys work hard on their celebrations. Can we just show 754 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: it it just maybe once it's a good one. I 755 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: like that deep thing very good. I like to watch 756 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: celebrations too. There is I want to say. There was 757 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: a Twitter account that was devoted to the celebrations, and 758 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: I I try and find it, like every Monday. It's 759 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying to remember for the Twitter account. A right, 760 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: I saw it somewhere. Network does a good, pretty good job, 761 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: but hopefully the broad broadcast will show it all right, 762 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: Drew round three. It's probably my final pick because I'm 763 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: out here and I've got to steal yours. I'm sorry, DP. 764 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: It involves you because you and I sit next to 765 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: each other in the press boxes on the road. Yes, oh, 766 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,439 Speaker 1: when we're on the road Indianapolis right below, so we're 767 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: on the second row, and then you've got to climb 768 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: down about it's probably about ten feet fifteen. Those steps 769 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: are straight down, straight down in the first row. All 770 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: of the local TV sports people from Indianapolis belois and 771 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: it's like a one up type of game for the 772 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: entire game. These knuckleheads trying to be funnier than the 773 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: other and they're not funny. Trying to listen to their 774 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: jokes because I thought, what are they talking about? That's 775 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: so hilarious. It's never anything funny. They just all laugh laboriously. 776 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: And maybe part of it is the first few years 777 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: cold up Extension Corner? Is that a snake? And then 778 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,879 Speaker 1: and Drew and I are so irritated because the first 779 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: few years we were losing, so it made it even 780 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: more annoying. But even when we're running it, they're just 781 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: always cracking jokes. So they're doing that and I'm up 782 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: next to dep and I'm just doing this, I'm going 783 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: shut well. You getting annoyed then makes me annoyed because 784 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: it's even if I'm not paying attention to it, you 785 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: being annoyed draws attention to me, draws it to my attention, 786 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: And then I'm annoyed too. I could I could see 787 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: where that would that would be annoys me, but that 788 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: annoys the ape. Kind of Anslarry one is for me 789 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: is if if you have a mic in front of 790 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,720 Speaker 1: your face and you're talking, don't talk to that person. 791 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: Like if you see somebody and they've got a mic 792 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: in front of their face and they're talking, they might 793 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: not be live. They might be live, but they may 794 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: not be, but you don't know. Assume they are don't 795 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: don't have a cover say anything to that person. And 796 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: I can't tell you the number of times. Be it 797 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: in like doing a live show, like either at food 798 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Ruckers or wherever, doing live show down on the sidelines 799 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: where I've got the mic, where people have come up 800 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: and just they start talking to me and I'm like, 801 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 1: do you not see the microphone in front of my face? 802 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: I think you're talking.

Doesn't that 822 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: be the Ohio State University. But the guy is the 823 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: one that the yeah. The guy is like, no, we 824 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: don't need the I like going through a numbers in Michigan, Auburn, whatever. 825 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: I don't care too too much for. Like ball so hard? Elementary? 826 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: What did Antonio Smith? He did the ninja the ninja instant. 827 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,359 Speaker 1: Some of those are funny. When sucks. When Sizzle did 828 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: uh ball so Hard? I was like, ok, I laughed, 829 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: it's funny. I laughed. I Ed Reid said, I was 830 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: born to do this. Remember that. Well, I'm not gonna 831 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: comment on. Chris Myers said his middle school or elementary 832 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: school during I think they all did. Yeah, the Texanszola 833 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: I did that one. They did it one years. Wade 834 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: He's coming in. Uh I didn't mind that. I do 835 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: like that I didn't that, Like they do their elementary school. 836 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: They're shouting out their school, and I'm fine with that, 837 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: but I thought that's where you were going to go 838 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: with this. No, they they're like, hey, I want to 839 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: panuckle elementary or what like. I'm K'm cool with that. 840 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: I don't care. But it's when they do the the 841 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: Ohio State University, I'm just like cringe every time, like oh, 842 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: like weirdly though, I'm okay with the You, like everybody. 843 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: I guess maybe because it's associated with Miami, Like I 844 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: get it, and they're two Miami. So when they say 845 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: to you, you know, which is ironic because I'm in Minnesota, 846 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: they call Minnesota Minnesota ands call, hey, where do you 847 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: go to? I went to the U. They're not talking 848 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: about Miami, They're talking about Minnesota. So it is a 849 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: little different that way. Like I'm okay with that, like 850 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: the You, but like the Ohio State University or the 851 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: University of Texas or the University of Georgia drives me insane. 852 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why, it just drives me absolutely. I 853 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: know we didn't get to all of them. But speaking 854 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: of Minnesota, I thought of my other pet peeve, which 855 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 1: is like a side pet peeve. But that Viking horn, 856 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: which I always thought was so cool on the broadcast. 857 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: I just loved it growing up. It just reminded me 858 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: of being in the Vikings playing on television. And the 859 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: one of the first game I ever went to was 860 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: a preseason game in Minnesota, and I was so excited 861 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: to hear for they were warming up and they played 862 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: the Viking when I was really excited, like, Wow, I'm playing, 863 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm working in the NFL. The Jedi. Yeah. Midway through 864 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: the yeah, I guess midway through the first quarter though, 865 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 1: I was done with it because they over over over 866 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: over to the horn. Well, I think you're no. And 867 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: then they scored three. Yeah, we heard a lot. We 868 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: heard that in the school they did that damn skull 869 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: chap was that was a New chanc feeling like that. 870 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: I gotta give the fog horn in New England a 871 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: close second. New England one. Let's go to our final 872 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: pet peeve and that's playing a damn song the outfield, 873 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: Scott Zola singing, that's that's a big one. Oh God, 874 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: I hope when we I hope when we beat them 875 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: the year they didn't play it. This year did they 876 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: They did at the very end. No, I don't remember 877 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: hearing it. The final, in the last thirty seconds they 878 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: played it. Well, they played it this year, Yeah, they did. 879 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, they play I made fun of it 880 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: right after, right after they scored, they played it. I 881 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: remember that because I just remember saying to Mark in 882 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: my air, was like, they're playing a damn song. But 883 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: I didn't remember hearing it, played it. I thought they 884 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: played it. I'm gonna go. I hope we trolled them. 885 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: I hope we played that damn thing after we beat 886 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: them here. That would be kind of nice.
