1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to a Friday edition of Texans All Access.

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: a really good time putting together this summer celebration. Not

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot going on, nobody in the building this week,

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: so we decided, you know what, let's do a celebration,

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: if you will, of all the really cool things we've

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to do since since January. Really, we

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: talked to Deshaw Watson, Joe Webb, Brandon Wheaton, Sage rosen Fells.

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: We had our All American Dude Draft on July fourth.

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: We talked to Brian Peters that day as well. We

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: had Brian excuse me, had Bernardi McKinney, Will Fuller. We

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: talked to our buddy Roland Ramirez. We had a snippet

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: of a podcast in Mark Vandam You and I did

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: called Stories from the Booth. But today it's all about

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: the head coach Bill O'Brien. Each and every year, Mark

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Vandemeyer and I have an opportunity when we talked to

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: ob you know, constantly and throughout the year. We do

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: it every single week we have the Coaches Show, we

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: talked to him, then then Mark has a chance to

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: talk to him on Friday. Is kind of a pregame

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: cursor that we have for pregame radio. So there's a

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: lot of different things that we have a chance to

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: talk to him about. It's all Texans related or even

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: in some cases NFL related. But every summer, right before

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: the break and our break is this week. Right before

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: this break and the players you go off and get

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: out of here, we have a chance to sit down

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: with coach O'Brien have what we call the Everything but

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: the Texans Radio segments, and it's one of our most

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: fun things to do because we hit on any number

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: of things. We asked him some wild questions. We try

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: and keep it in the sports realm as much as

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: we can, but I actually introduced him to a podcast

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that he definitely has to hear, and you'll hear that

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: in this first segment on our Texans All Access Summer celebration.

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: It's head coach Bill O'Brien, everything but the Texans. Okay,

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: here we go with Bill O'Brien here the Hyunday Texans

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: radio studio. Coach. How's your supper going so far? Good?

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's um, you know what it is. I

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: mean I was just telling Johnny, I mean it lasts forever,

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: but it's great. It's fun. You know, they practiced for

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: two weeks before they start playing games. So they played

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: this weekend and we're looking forward to it. But uh,

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's interesting. It's a lot of fun. Though.

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Were you were in high school, did you play do

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: you play baseball? Yes? When did you guys eventually get

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: outside to be oh? Yeah, no question. We talked about

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: this all the time because there's a couple parents on

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: the team from the northeast, you know that have transplanted

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: down here to Houston. I mean you you didn't get

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: out sometimes till May, Johnny, I mean there were some

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: years it was snowing in April. So these kids, that's

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: and you know, it's funny you say that because these

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: these kids, you see the improvement in them, you know,

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: almost weekly, monthly, you know, because they're outside all the time.

60
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: He can they play year round? Yeah? Yeah, and in

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: the North. I mean, that's the one thing I realized

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: when I moved to Miami. You see kids in January

63
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: playing baseball. You think this cannot happen in the North. No, no, no, exactly.

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: I mean their literal league season starts here in February, right,

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean you'd have to play in

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: the gym somewhere in Boston often, you do. Well, that

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: was when when I was when I was at Brown,

68
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I remember the baseball team practicing in our you know,

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: mac The first time that they got outside to play

70
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: was on a spring break trip, and our spring break

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: was late it was last week in March. They would

72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: go down to South Carolina play South Carolina and Wofford Clemson.

73
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: That was the first time outside all year. It just

74
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: get crushed by all those schools because they're like, we're

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: outside for the first time in late March, and even

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: when they came back it was still cold. Yeah. Oh

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: all right. So if you were a commissioner of Little

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: league baseball or youth league baseball, what are some of

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: the things that you might want to improve on, Because

80
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: I know you're an observer and an evaluator, and you

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: can't help but evaluate some of this stuff. Anyway, This

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: is a hard question. I want to be careful. I

83
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: have to be politically correct because I have a lot

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: of friends over there that I will say this, The

85
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: dad's coach all the way through until the kids are thirteen,

86
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: and so it's a it's a dad coach deal. And

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the dad's obviously volunteer. And the commitment, the level of

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: commitment that they make to coaching their little league team

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I mean it's it's seven days a week

90
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: for several months. And so I give the dads a

91
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: lot of credit. Uh, once they get to be thirteen,

92
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: then then and you know whatever, you would want to

93
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: call it, an independent coach, not a dad, begins to

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: coach them. And I think that's that's good, you know.

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I think that when you get somebody who you know,

96
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: can go in there with fresh thoughts and evaluate the kids,

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: and and and it's more of a meritocracy, you know,

98
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: where a guy's gonna you know, play or not play

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: based on how he's playing, you know, I think that's

100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: what happens. But I think, you know, commissioner or not commissioner.

101
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: I think the big thing about little league baseball is

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: if you can teach them the fundamentals, you know, how

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: to how to catch a pop fly, how to feel

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: a ground or how to throw, you know, the fundamentals

105
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: of you know, first and second, no outs, where where

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: you're going with the round, just like the fundamentals obviously

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: of hitting, you know. And I think that's the key.

108
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: And then teach them about a sportsmanship and being part

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: of a team. And I think that's the big thing.

110
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: I really don't think it's all about winning and losing

111
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: in Little league. I really don't. I think it's all

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: about that when you get to where we're sitting. But

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: I think at that stage, I think it's important that

114
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: they learn the other things before it's like we have

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: to win this game. If we don't win this game,

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: we're not getting dinner tonight. You know. I don't think

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 1: that's the way to go about it. Your big proponent

118
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: of kids playing multiple sports. Yes, yes, I think Johnny

119
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this before. I think you

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: I think that you know, each sport requires a different

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: level of conditioning, movement skills, hand eye coordination, all the

122
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: all the different things you know football, you know it's

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: eleven guys twenty two on the field at one time,

124
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Basketball ten, baseball eighteen. You know, there's different rules of

125
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the games and different skill sets that each game requires.

126
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: So I really I always encourage that. Ob one of

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the things that we saw come up in the NBA

128
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Finals this year, at the very end of game one,

129
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: j R. Smith forgets I don't know, doesn't know the score,

130
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't you know, he gets that rebound, he runs

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: it out. Lebron's mad at him. And it got me

132
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: thinking about game theory, game management. How valuable is that

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: for young kids to learn, whether they're playing baseball, football, basketball, whatever,

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: to go with the fundamentals. Uh, here's how you feel

135
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the grounder. But hey, you're down by one run. You

136
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: got guys at second and third, here's the kind of

137
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: here's the kind of ball you want to try and hit.

138
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: How valuable is it to learn kind of game theory

139
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: or game management and those kind of things at that

140
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: young and age. I mean, I think that's huge. I

141
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: think that's that's part of what I was saying. You

142
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: you articulated it very well. I think I think that

143
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, after learning how to feel a

144
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: ball field, to pop fly, you know, how to hit

145
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: and all those things. I think then it comes down to, hey,

146
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: we need you to sacrifice bun here because here's the

147
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: situation of the game. I think that really teaches kids

148
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: about being on a team. You know, it's a it's

149
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: a team sport, and I think that's, you know, the

150
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: next stage of what they should be learning in Literal League.

151
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: I love Literal League. I love watching it, and I'm

152
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: always thinking about how they could improve to help these

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: kids get better in Houston. Like we said earlier, these kids,

154
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: I just I'm always impressed at the improvement from the

155
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: time you know, Michael's been playing here since he was

156
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: nine to the time he's now twelve. He's just gotten

157
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: better and better because they can play all the time.

158
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: They're always outside playing baseball. So I think that you

159
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: see that improvement. But I think that's part of it,

160
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: trying to teach him those things. Probably haven't had too

161
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: much time to watch high school football in Texas, but

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: you've watched Sam and I know you'll early get out

163
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: here to the field and they have these playoff games

164
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. But when you look at

165
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: the evolution of high school of football. What do you

166
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: think the level of play now, because I see some

167
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: games on TV and I'm thinking, this is high school

168
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: especially in Texas. I mean especially in Texas, and we're

169
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: probably you know, obviously we're spoiled in Texas because high

170
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: school football in Texas is king. I mean it is king.

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: I even from when I was in college and recruiting,

172
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: there's no better state of high school football than in Texas.

173
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean because of the coaching and the amount of

174
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: kids that play football. And you know, I think that

175
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that you see in high school

176
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: football now is um you know, it's it's a game

177
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: where the quarterback position is becoming more and more diverse,

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. You know, they can't just be

179
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the days of just a drop back quarterback are really over,

180
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: you know. When it comes to most high schools that

181
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: I watch play, you know, especially when I watch them

182
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: out here, it's guys that can throw, obviously, but they

183
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: can run, they can do uh, some of them play defense,

184
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: play safety on defense. I mean, they're multiple type athletes

185
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. And I think that's because of the

186
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: evolution of the spread. The spread part of the game

187
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: and spread is an interesting word, but it just means

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: that the formations are you know, more spread out, you know,

189
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: less use of a true tight end, more of four

190
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: or five wide receivers in the game at one time,

191
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: and the balls being thrown. So I think you'll you

192
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: see that a lot, and that's what we're seeing now

193
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: they go to college, and then when they get to

194
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: our level, you know, you're seeing more and more of

195
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: that when you were in college. I'm sure you're an

196
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: a ton of recruiting. It's changed, obviously with social media

197
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: and all that coming in play. But do you have

198
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: a story that you remember most from your days as

199
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: a recruiter, like one guy you got or one that

200
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: got away? Is there any story that stands out like,

201
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: oh man, that was crazy that you could share on

202
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: the radio. Of course, Yeah, no, I remember this is

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: from earlier in my career. I was at Georgia Tech

204
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: and we had a coaching change and I was, you know,

205
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: kept over on the new staff. So we had a

206
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: Georgio Leary was our coach. Everybody knows what it kind

207
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: of happened there, and then when he left, Chan Gailey

208
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: became head coach and I was retained, and so I

209
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: took over. I think me and two other guys were retained.

210
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: So I had to take over some of the recruiting

211
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: that had been going on, if that makes sense. So

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: I took over pac Man. And so pac Man was

213
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: from Atlanta City School in Atlanta. Was obviously a great player,

214
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: uh you know dB, obviously a receiver, running back punt.

215
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he did it all. He was unbelievable. And

216
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: he was coming to Georgia Tech. He was coming to

217
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. And I remember, hey, Chan, this guy's coming in.

218
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: This is like the first you know, I was an

219
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator there, but you know, I had never worked

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: for Chan Gailey before, so you know, you're trying to

221
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: impress your boss, you know. So so we all gather.

222
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: That was when they really had started, as you remember,

223
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,239
Speaker 1: you know, putting the signing day stuff on TV. Yeah,

224
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: so here he comes out on TV in his high

225
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: school jim and he's decked out basically in Georgia Tech gear.

226
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: So here we go, Chan, We're getting We're getting pac

227
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Man Jones. And all of a sudden he says, I'm

228
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna shock the world and he takes it all off

229
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: and underneath it. He has West Virginia at least looking

230
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: at me like my job. I called Colleen right after,

231
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: I said, I need to start looking for a job.

232
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna be kept here much longer. Now.

233
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: I have about five thousand other stories, but that's one

234
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: from earlier in my career. Now, you've coached against him

235
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: at the NFL. Have you guys ever talked about that.

236
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I've seen him. I never, Yeah, I have, like after

237
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: a game or something. Yeah, No, I've seen him. We coached.

238
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: I've coached against him a lot, and so, uh, you know,

239
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: whether it was New England or here in Houston, and uh,

240
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I never bring it up. You know it is, but

241
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: it's just, uh, it was pretty funny. Oh my gosh,

242
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: all the gear comes off. We had another guy. We

243
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: had one more story. Yeah, this is pretty funny. We

244
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: had another guy. I'm not gonna mention his name because

245
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: you know he's he was a great player and he

246
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: played in the NFL. And he was a receiver who

247
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: was from May's High School in Atlanta, and he was awesome,

248
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean fast, and I think at one point before

249
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, you know all that, he's probably the leading

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: receiver in the history of Georgia Tech are up there

251
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: in the top five, which is pretty good because there's

252
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: been some good receivers there. So, but so we're recruiting him,

253
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: and so you know, he was a kid that played

254
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: like in a wing te offense and everything was a

255
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: projection blah blah blah blah. So we weren't sure we're

256
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna offer him. So so we said, hey, why don't

257
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: you come over to during this time of the year.

258
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Why don't you come over to Georgia Tech. Will sit

259
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: down with you and your mom, we'll talk about Georgia Tech.

260
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: The kid shows up with a with a pillow case

261
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: fill filled with trophies. So he said, you guys don't

262
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: want to offer me in scholarship And he dumps all

263
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: his trophies on the floor and he's got like, you know,

264
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: his trophies from like the sixth grade all the way

265
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: through to his you know, he's going into his senior year.

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: I was like, we gotta offer this, just just on

267
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: that alone. We did offer him, and he went on

268
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: to be a great player at Georgia Tech. Oh that's good,

269
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's good. That's that's d that's creative. It

270
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: is still not Derek Evans, who has the all time

271
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: greatest signing Day episode. If you don't remember the name

272
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Derek Evans, he was on the Dallas Carter team that

273
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: was featured in Friday Night Lights. He was the safety

274
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: alongside Jesse Armstead. So Armstead has one of those where

275
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: he goes up and he's got all his gear on.

276
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: He leaves the press conference, comes back and he's wearing

277
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: all Miami gear. Derek Evans is like, hold my beer.

278
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Derek Evans is in a hot tub with cycling gear,

279
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: you know, like a cycling spandex gear. He's got like

280
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: a mister T starter kit in a hot tub and

281
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: he's like, Yo, I'm signing with Tennessee. And he comes

282
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: out of the water signs it goes to Tennessee. Three

283
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: months later, he's arrested, spends ten years in jail for

284
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: armed robbery and never even got the ten Yeah, but

285
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: that's the best. That's the best signing is in the

286
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: hot tub up in nineteen eighty eight. He set the

287
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: bar nobody's ever passed. I'm very happy, coach, who's the

288
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: best college football player you've coached against? Because you coached

289
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: college football for a long time, so I know you've

290
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: seen a bunch of good ones. I mean, yeah, that's

291
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: a tough one. Um. You coached against a lot of

292
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: those Miami kids at the Gator Bowl, right, Yeah, I mean,

293
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: I I mean we coached against you know, Vince Wilfork

294
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: was on that team. Dan Morgan the linebacker was on

295
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: that team. Webster. Yeah. Well, I mean a coach against

296
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,720

297
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: up my first year at Penn State. Um. I mean

298
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: that's a hard question to say, like one guy over another.

299
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean if I mean, if you go back to

300
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: the great Florida State teams, Uh, the defensive ends that

301
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: they had throughout the years there that we coached against,

302
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Corey Simon on the inside, I mean we I mean

303
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to say, like, um, you coached against. Yeah,

304
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it was one of the great games that year when

305
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you guys played them down Tallahassee. Yeah, we played the

306
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: year before ninety eight. We played him down there with

307
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: Joe Hamilton and we it was I think it was

308
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: like forty five to thirty eight. They beat us. We

309
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: were running the wishbone, we were doing all kinds of things,

310
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: but they had great players. It'd be hard for me

311
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: to say, like one guy over another. When we get back,

312
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: coach tells us who his favorite college football player was

313
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: all time. This one's pretty easy if you think about

314
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: where he's from and perhaps the greatest college player from

315
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: that place. Yeah, a little school called Boston College. Yeah,

316
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: you know I'm talking about. We'll talk about that next

317
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: right here on our Bill O'Brien Texans All Access Summer

318
00:15:40,120 --> 00:16:05,520

Speaker 1: bit of everything. Our interview with Deshaun Watson, Brandon Whedon.

324
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: We had a quarterback at Stravaganza on Monday night. We

325
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: did all to eleven drafts of offensive and defensive NFL

326
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: stars that went to Texas universities or colleges. We had

327
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Brian Peters on July fourth. We did the All American

328
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Dude Draft of course on July fourth, but Friday has

329
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: been reserved for head coach at Bill O'Brien and the

330
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: show that we do annually with him, everything but the Texans.

331
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: When we left you last, we were asking coach about

332
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: college football, So Mark wanted to know who was his

333
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: favorite college football player of all time. Who's your favorite though,

334
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: not that you coach necessarily, but your all time favorite

335
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: college football player? Do you have? What is it? Flutie

336
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: or I'm like, I'm like reeling it in here. No,

337
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: I mean I love Fluti, So, I mean I was there,

338
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: not there, but I saw him. Uh, you know that

339
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: that Miami pass. My dad and I were watching that,

340
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: you know. And what was that? Was that the day

341
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving up the day after Thanksgiving? So we're eating

342
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving left doors and my dad's the exact opposite of me,

343
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: like very low key, very not emotional. That's one of

344
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: the few times, other than when Fisk hit the home

345
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: run and seventy five yea, other than that, when my

346
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: dad just let loose like that was unbelievable. So and

347
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: and the year before we had gone no that year

348
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: they still played holy Cross, right and the last game

349
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: of the season, and we went to the Holy Cross

350
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: game at Fitting Field and there was a helicopter came

351
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: in to fly him to the Heisman ceremony. Right, that

352
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: was cool. I was, you know what was like twelve,

353
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: thirteen years old and it or something like that. So

354
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: that was that was awesome. U. So yeah, I mean

355
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: maybe growing up that was definitely my favorite college football player.

356
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: But now having coach college for a long time, I

357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: have my own guys that I coached that my favorites,

358
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: which I wouldn't want to, you know, get into. I mean,

359
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: I had so many good guys at Penn State. Really,

360
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: to be honest with that, which was my first head coaching,

361
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: it'd be hard to put anybody over some of those guys.

362
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: You know. I always think that in this business the

363
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: people that you were a fan of before you got

364
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: into the business. Otherwise you get star struck over do

365
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: you find out? Oh yeah, true as well because you

366
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: have relationship with these guys. When the when the Super

367
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Bowl was here, my wife and I were out to

368
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: dinner somewhere over here in Rice Village and uh and

369
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: the guy that we ran a restaurant or whatever came

370
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: over and said, hey, coach, you know, Doug Flutie's here.

371
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA, I gotta meet Dug Flutie. He

372
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: was like two tables over. This was the first time

373
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: I really ever met him. Wow. Yeah, I think I

374
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: had met him like briefly one time in New England,

375
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: but he didn't play in New England when I was

376
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: coaching there. I played like right before. So yeah, no doubt,

377
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: no doubt, that's a guy that you remember growing up.

378
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: It was cool to meet him. What was what's been

379
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: your best Uh, like meeting a celebrity or somebody recognized

380
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: your story kind of out of the blue, like maybe

381
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: somebody you you've known and they walked up to you like, Hey,

382
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, I'm such and such. Have you have you

383
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: had that kind of situation where somebody's introduced themselves to you,

384
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: or you've met a celebrity and I'm I'm laughing because

385
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: it's happened, you know, quite a bit. Which yeah, almost

386
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: You've known me for thirty years, so you know how

387
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: ridiculous that is. But but I met so we were

388
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: at LTMPO. Uh, I don't know a few years ago,

389
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: might have been the Super Bowl again during that when

390
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: all the stars were here, you know, And so what

391
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: Colin and I are eating dinner and there's Rudy from

392
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: uh from the movie Rudy sitting right there, the real Rudy,

393
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: the real Rudy, Rudy Rudiger or whatever is I mean,

394
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: it was no, but I really the people that I've

395
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: enjoyed meeting are like, uh, you know, meeting President Bush.

396
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: You know, you know those those types of people, and

397
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: then you go back and you you're researching and you

398
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: think about their lives, especially a guy like President Bush

399
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: talking about forty one who lives here in Houston. He's

400
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: he's an amazing guy. And so I never had the

401
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: honor of meeting Barbara Bush. Yeah, but I met President

402
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: Bush with mister McNair when when I first got hired here,

403
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: and that was very very cool. That was that was

404
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: pretty That was something I'll never forget. You mentioned research.

405
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: We know you read a lot, all right, So give

408
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: I read multiple books at a time, which is idiotic,

409
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: but that's kind of what I do. Uh. So you

410
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: have to read Bruce Springsteen's biography autobiography. He wrote it.

426
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: good one for you. Know. I don't you'll understand why

427
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: I tell you this. In a second. I heard about

428
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: these I don't listen. I mean I do I listen

429
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, our our website stuff sometimes just

430
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: to listen to what's going on. But but uh, but

431
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't really do it that often. Okay, Well, I'll

432
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: get you started on one. It's called Crimetown. Crimetown. It's

433
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: called Crimetown. It's like a twelve part series. And you

434
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: understand why I tell you this Crimetown putting it in

435
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: my notes here. It's about Providence and Buddy Sancy. See

436
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: he had to say reaction I did. I had two

437
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: people in this building that have told me I told that.

438
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: That's what I've said, Yes, I do. He used to

439
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: come to It's the only it was the only place

440
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: we had on campus that you could go to imbibe

441
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: if you will. That's the only place. And for my

442
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: first year, probably your first couple of years, it was closed.

443
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: And then they opened it back up and we would

444
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: go there periodically. And I remember going in there one

445
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: night and Rick Britten was there. Buddy and Rick was

446
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: in there was like, yo, Buddy's over there, and he

447
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: was there all the time. Buddy Siancey was the mayor

448
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: of Providence. And this crime Town tells the story essentially

449
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: of Providence, of the patriarcha family, and of Buddy Siancey.

450
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: And so I've gotten through part one. It's like twenty

451
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: five minutes an episode, and it's fantastic, Like I was sold.

452
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: Both Drew and Eric told me like separately, you got it.

453
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: You'll understand, You'll And I was like, yeah, Siancey used

454
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: to come to the Mayor of Providence, two time mayor

455
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: of Providence, the longest running he had once stint. He

456
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: went to jail, and he went to jail, and then

457
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: he came back and won again. He won a second.

458
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: You're probably getting out of jail. Yes, Crime Town, that's

459
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that's that's one. I think when you're getting your interval

460
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: training on, that's probably a good listen. They've got all

461
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: kinds of the first episode. They had interviews, they pulled

462
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: stuff off TV, they had seance speaking at different things.

463
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: I think you would really enjoy podcasts because that's the

464
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: way you can get a workout in listen to and

465
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, taking time. So that'd be a good podcast.

466
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: And you're not listening to Texans Radio. Yes, okay, of course,

467
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: there's got to be a prior. I mean, I'll tell

468
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: you what though, you guys do a lot of different things,

469
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: which is cool, you know, I mean, I obviously you

470
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: two guys, but yeah, well it's funny because in this

471
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: business I always say this, we go seven months, the

472
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: ball is not even snapped and we talk about the

473
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: team for seven months. Yeah, and it's no game action.

474
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: I tell everybody that it's And I love the Astros,

475
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: I love baseball, but this is America's game as the NFL. Yeah,

476
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean people want this info. Twenty four seven, three

477
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: sixty five. You know that's the That's what this league's about.

478
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: Our preseason games outrated the Western Conference finals. That's great,

479
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, with respect about it shows it proves good point.

480
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: You were talking about dinner. I have dinner with Colleen.

481
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: You get a free dinner for four anywhere you want,

482
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: anywhere you want. You can invite three living people. It's

483
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: like having a foursome living people. Three living people, Okay,

484
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: living were dead? All right, you get all right, it's

485
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: a pretty big pool. Now you get three people that

486
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: you bring with you to a dinner. You have a

487
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: quartet at dinner wherever you want. Who you bring in?

488
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: Who's your four? I would I would love to bring.

489
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: This will sound crazy to you in some ways, but

490
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: just because of the type of people, the diversity of people,

491
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: but I would love First I would bring Martin Luther King,

492
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: I would bring both President Bushes, and I would bring

493
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Wow. That's what I would bring. And I

494
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: think that would be very cool to get all the

495
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: different perspectives on the different errors and the different you know,

496
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: all the different risks that all four of those people took.

497
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: And they all come from different backgrounds, have obviously different beliefs,

498
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: and but all four are very respected, you know, I think,

499
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: And well, that's what I would do. That's what I

500
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: would bring. I've never met h Bush forty one, son

501
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: um but forty three, and but I but I would

502
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: like to meet him. He's been here, I know. I

503
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: just feel like he'd be a cool guy. To Meeta

504
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: seems like a very funny, funny guy. So yeah, those

505
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: would be the four I would say. Excellent. All right,

506
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: let's get into some other sports here. You've mentioned before

507
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: that the US Open is your favorite golf tournament to watch. Uh,

508
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: you would like the Majors, of course, but you don't

509
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: get to watch the PGA seasons going on and Masters.

510
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: You got other stuff going on, draft OTAs. But US

511
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: Open you've said, memories of your dad and you watching golf. Yeah,

512
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: all right, so this past one was it ridiculous to you?

513
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Or was that good? Watching all the guys struggle and

514
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: some guys having trouble breaking eighty. Yeah. Again, I'm gonna

515
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: be honest about this with you guys, because I thought

516
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: it was awesome. And the guys that just said, you

517
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna figure this out were the guys

518
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: that did well. Brooks Kepka said, well, I'm gonna figure

519
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: this out. Yeah, I'm not gonna complain about it. I'm

520
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. And and he won, right the guy.

521
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I just have never heard so many complaints

522
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: about a golf course, like and I don't. Look, I'm

523
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: not a I mean, I can golf. I'm terrible, but

524
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I and I get it. But I mean, like, look

525
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: like this is the national Championship. This is what it is.

526
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: And so you're not gonna win twenty under. You're gonna

527
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: have to basically shoot even part to win. And that's

528
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: what Keepka did. He And if you watch Keepka the

529
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: whole time, like, I love watching these guys because he

530
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: really kept as cool. He never the last hole when

531
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: he hit it off the grandstand, I was like, oh,

532
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: he had a tough chip because it was like a downhill.

533
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, the green was sloped downhill from where he

534
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: was chipping man, he nailed that chip. There was that

535
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: part three two where he overshot. He gets it at

536
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: the bunker, but he gets bogie. It was a big

537
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: bogie at the time. But yeah, you're right, he never

538
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: lost his composure. And I just I just thought that

539
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: that was awesome. And I love watching that tournament, you know,

540
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: just because of what we're talking about. I always think

541
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: that's probably the toughest golf course. And I mean the

542
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: rough that they had to hit. How about the one

543
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: where they were it was like Friday and they were

544
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: looking for I think it was Dustin Johnson's ball and

545
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: he's like, I know it's right here. I know it's

546
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: right here, and there's like twenty people around that ball.

547
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: It was texting my dad. I'm like, this looks like

548
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: us looking for our ball. But is that kind of

549
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: like the golf equivalent of a snow game? In football?

550
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, you have these games where and Joe Webb

551
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: played in one of those last year. You know, you're

552
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Joe Webb. Where they could they're so like the game

553
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: plants throw it out, you gotta figure it out on

554
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: the go, you gotta figure it out. I mean, we've

555
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: we haven't had too many of those types of games

556
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: here since I've been here. But when I was in

557
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: New England, we had the game in Buffalo. We're sixty

558
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: to seventy mile an hour wins. We threw the ball

559
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: maybe eight times and they were little flat passes to

560
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the fullback off of play action. We ran the ball

561
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: sixty five times and beat the Bills like thirteen to ten. Right.

562
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we had to change, you know, because of

563
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the weather. And that was one thing that was probably

564
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: one of the of the thousand things I learned from Bill.

565
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: That was one of them. You know, like you just

566
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: have to be able to deal with the elements here.

567
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: It's hard because it's always hot here, so you're not

568
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: dealing with all the different snow and rain, you know,

569
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: weatherwise outside you know, you deal with rain, but in

570
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: plus the fact here you're playing indoors half the season

571
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, then you're playing up at Indie

572
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: and you're playing other indoor games during the season, so

573
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: you're really not playing outdoors that much until later in

574
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the season sometimes. But we this year, you know, I

575
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: think we go to the East Coast late, so we're

576
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to some elements. Got four of them, Yeah,

577
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: all together. Yeah, we're in Eastern time. I think the

578
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: entire road trip except for Denver and whatever, Nashville, I

579
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: think at that point, look, we can't help it. We'll

580
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: get back to the NFL and the Texans in some

581
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: respects every time we talk. It's natural with the three

582
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: of us to do that, but we tried to avoid

583
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: it if at all possible. But I thought it was

584
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: interesting story right there about that Bill told about spending

585
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: time with Bill Belichick, and I remember that distinctly when

586
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: I was watching America's Game A two thousand and three

587
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: on the Patriots and Charlie Weiss was the office coordinate

588
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: at the time, and he was interviewed about that particular

589
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: year and he said, look, we won games thirty seven

590
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: thirty four. We won games nine to three. He said,

591
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick knows the type of game you're playing in,

592
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: the type of game that you have to play to

593
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: win that game. And I thought it was it was

594
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: on point. Whenever I think of teams, I think of

595
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: that comment that Charlie made in that obviously was what

596
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: coach O'Brien was talking about right there. Now, when we

597
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: get back team versus individual, I framed a question to

598
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: coach in such a way that it tells you a

599
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: little bit more about coach being team person versus individuals.

600
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: Rather win a team award or rather win an individual championship.

601
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: Talk about that next right here in Texans All Access,

602
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: a Summer Celebration with Bill O'Brien. We've got one final

603
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: segment of our summer celebration right here on Texans All Access.

604
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris Football and also Sython Reporter,

605
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: and all week we've been replaying some of the great

606
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: stuff we have been providing for you throughout this entire offseason.

607
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, we've had interviews with all the quarterbacks, Watson, Webb,

608
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: we Savee Rosenfels, we had Ultimate eleven Draft, we had

609
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: an All American Dude Draft. We had Roland Ramirez who

610
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: has rehabbed some of the best and brightest in this building.

611
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: But this Friday show is dedicated to our everything but

612
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: the Texans Radio Hour with Bill O'Brien, and we've been

613
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: playing that interview for you essentially in its entirety, nothing

614
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: cut from it, just cut up into three different segments. Now,

615
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: I start off this third segment with Coach asking a

616
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: question that I think a lot of people have gotten

617
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: over time. And growing up I always I participated in

618
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: both individual and team sports. I did track and field,

619
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: played golf, but then when I got to high school,

620
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: I played three team sports, football, basketball, baseball, and I

621
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: always got more joy out of winning a team sport event,

622
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: whether it was game, championship, whatever tournament, whatever the case

623
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: might be. I always loved being in those team environments.

624
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that was just that was just me.

625
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Now I know there are some that don't feel that way,

626
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: would rather win an individual tournament. They're golfers, tennis players,

627
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. And so I decided to

628
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: ask coach, knowing full well what I imagined his answer

629
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: would be. We had talked a lot of US Open,

630
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: and so I figured, you know what, why not build

631
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: that into this question, and so I asked him in

632
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: either a question to start our conversation in segment three,

633
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: So you're talking about the US Open. So I've always

634
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: wondered this because I played on teams my entire life,

635
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: but I've always said, you know, winning an individual award

636
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: would be pretty cool. So you can win one, either

637
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: the US Open or you can win a World Series,

638
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: which one would you rather win? I'm so, I'm a

639
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: team sport guy, so I'm gonna say the World Series,

640
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: like I went, and I know this wasn't the World Series,

641
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: but I went to the Astros the other night when

642
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Bregman hit the walk off double off the wall. Ye,

643
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: the way that those guys celebrated winning that game, like

644
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: and chills, you know down my spine. I just envisioned,

645
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, our team Fairburn kicking a winning field goal,

646
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: Watson throwing a winning touchdown. Yeah, you know, I just

647
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: envisioned our team doing something like that. I just I

648
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: just love that about the team sports. I think when

649
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: you win a championship, I remember, like the guys, so,

650
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: I've been to two Super Bowls, lost them both. Nothing

651
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: worse than that, really, nothing worse than that. But that's

652
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: what Charlie casually said they lost the Raiders. He said,

653
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse off and you'd rather lose the AC champion.

654
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: It's not good. So I don't know if I'd go

655
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: that far. I mean, the experience of being in the

656
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl is great and all that. But but anyways,

657
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: when the guys that were on our team that had

658
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: won championships, those teams have a bond that will never

659
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: be broken him. You know we have. I have a

660
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: bond with a lot of guys here, you know, just

661
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: from coaching them and and working hard with them and

662
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: all coaches, m players, you know that we'll stay the

663
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: rest of our lives. Like, yeah, I get that, but

664
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean I think a championship team that bond has

665
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: never broken, that that that that team has brought back

666
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: for reunions every year or every five years. And you

667
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: can only imagine what that would be like in Houston,

668
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: as you guys know. So, um, I think the World Series.

669
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: I would vote for that over over US open all right,

670
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: sports on television, after you've won multiple Super Bowls and

671
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: decide to hang them up, you could be a television

672
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: commentator in a studio setting or in the broadcast booth

673
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: doing games. What would you do because obviously two very

674
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: different things. What do you think you'd want to do? So,

675
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: I think what you noticed he didn't say play by

676
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: play man either, You're not gonna keep that in mind? Yeah,

677
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that one of the things

678
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: that you know, way down the road that I would

679
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: love to do. And I used to talk to Matt

680
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: Millen about this at Penn State was to do, like,

681
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, to try to educate the fans on the game.

682
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: You know, so maybe one of those deals where you're drawn.

683
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: I remember watching like whether it was Rudin or I

684
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: remember another guy, Eric Mangini, did a good job of this,

685
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, explaining what happened on that play, you know,

686
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: like Johnny and I do sometimes during the season. You know,

687
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: I think that's where if you could really like teach

688
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: the fan, you know, kind of what's going on in

689
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: the game, right I would love to do that. Being

690
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: a studio analyst or being a color commentary I think

691
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: that's great, but I don't think I would be. I

692
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't be any good at that. So it's like you

693
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: and Greg co Sell or something doing NFL matchup, Yeah,

694
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: something like that, you know, when you're explaining, hey, look,

695
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: this is what this team's trying to do, and this

696
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: is what I remember. Obviously, I used to get mad

697
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: because I would see whether it's Houston or New England,

698
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: they would put like last year with Watson. You know,

699
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: you'd see those those types of shows on one of

700
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: those channels, and and they'd be dissecting our you know,

701
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: a couple of our plays. I'm like, yeah, that's what

702
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to do. You know, You're like, Jesus stop,

703
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: can we stop doing that? But I thought that. But

704
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: I think that's good though. I think that educates the

705
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: fan on what they're looking at. So was it surprising

706
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: having gone through some production meetings the last few years

707
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: that Gruden went back to coaching? And I asked that

708
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: because when you're away from coaching, some people I don't

709
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: think understand this. They're like, why would a guy go

710
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: back to coaching? Why would he go back to coaching.

711
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, when coaching, when you get the bug,

712
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 1: you'll it's never gone. Are you surprised at all that

713
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: Gruden went back to the Raiders? No, Um, he being

714
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: in a booth. When you've coached like he did at

715
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: the highest level on a super Bowl, it's your game

716
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: day is not the same, you know, And it's in

717
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: preparation and kind of getting in there and grinding it

718
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: out with the players and then winning games. Like there's

719
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: no once you've done it. Once you've had that, like

720
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: you said, that's in your blood, it's hard to it's

721
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: hard to give it up, you know. He was away

722
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: from it for whatever ten years, and now he's back

723
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: into it. You know. He Uh, he's a great guy.

724
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed talking to him, and I think he'll

725
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: do a great job there. So yeah, I was in

726
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: his blood. I'm sure he missed the the competition, the

727
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: game day calling plays, all the things that watching tape,

728
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: getting guys ready to play. But he missed it, all right.

729
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: A few quick ones here, Texas Barbecue or Text Mex

730
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: Because you know you've come into the area fifth year

731
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: now and you've tried both well quite obviously. I love both,

732
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: quite obviously. It's a tough call. It is the barbecue,

733
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm like down to a couple of places, whereas whereas

734
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: the Text Mex. I mean, I think there's several places

735
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: that are really good. Right. You know, you've got obviously

736
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: good company. You've got you know, LTMPO. I'm not trying

737
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: to land Yeah, yeah, you know, but you're talking to

738
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: the text. I'm talking about text man. You know. Then

739
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: you've got Cyclona nine. You know, you've got some places

740
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: in the barbecue maybe, And I love barbecue. I'm not

741
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: trying to I'm just saying maybe one or two places,

742
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: so i'd probably go with text Mex okay, like like

743
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: the spicy stuff too, so you do which I know

744
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: you can get a barbecue too, but when you do

745
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: barbecue is at brisket is it? Tell you a quick story.

746
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had a little league. So this little league

747
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: deal like every night they got an activity for these kids, right,

748
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: and so they had like a pool party at somebody's house.

749
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: So those people they they hired one of those taco makers,

750
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: like those street vendors, and they came over and the

751
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: guy was made tacos and you had all the toppings.

752
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean it was unbelievable with the different spices, toppings

753
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: and in the guacamole. There are people listening around Houston going, yeah,

754
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: I mean it, I've never seen anything like it. I know.

755
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: That's the thing when you when you have somebody that's

756
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: not not from here. I mean you've been here for years,

757
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: but to them, that's that's you know, that's kind of

758
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,720

767
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,760

00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: and Rocky two though, Yeah, after that, it's a formula.

773
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: After that, three or four are very formulated a little bit.

774
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Creed two is going to be fantastic. The the trailer too,

775
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: minute trailer is really incredible. If you haven't seen the

776
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: Creed two trailer goes, it's fantastic because they bring back

777

Speaker 1: I'll just leave it at that. Yeah, don't tell us. Yeah,

Speaker 1: say that this is my favorite movie, favorite movie, But

784
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 1: I watched this movie the other night, Molly's Game. Oh

785
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: that's not really good. Yeah it's really good. Now I'm

786
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,959
Speaker 1: not saying I watched The Post a couple of weeks ago.

787
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. Um, I don't. I wouldn't be

788
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: able to pick one move Godfather, Guy, Love the Godfather, Love,

789
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: Good Fellas. Yeah, kind of like them all. It's hard

790
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: for me to rank one. Godfather's awesome. She my wife

791
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: would also tell you I've probably seen that a thousand times,

792
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: because you know, like on you know, like a Saturday

793
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: during the offseason, you're hanging out and you go through

794
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: the guide or whatever, and you see what's on. It's

795
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: on every Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. I mean, Miracle

796
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: just got to Netflix and yeah, and so it was

797
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: I was like on Netflix looking for something. I saw it. Yeah,

798
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: Like I feel I feel contractually obligated to watch you

799
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: when it's on. So I'm like, is it play? It

800
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: started doing some things in the room I was in

801
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: just so I could have it on. Have you met

802
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: any of those guys because a lot of those guys

803
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: were from Boston. Yeah, I got an autograph when I

804
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: was a kid from Jim Craig. I can't say that

805
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: I met him. I mean I was a kid. Um,

806
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: I've met Mike Ruzione. He's he's always around, Yeah, Boston.

807
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: He came to a Patriots game. Um. My, My brother

808
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: Tom played midget hockey in in Situate, mass with Dave Silk. Oh. Wow.

809
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: I think Dave was a little bit older than my brother,

810
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: but they were in a similar un the same team. Wow. Wow.

811
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: So when Bill O'Brien kids, when you're watching Miracle and

812
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: they get to the scene where he's making them do

813
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: the suicides over and over and he saying again again,

814
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: and cranjer he said, yeah, make him do it again.

815
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: I cringe a little bit on that. Only from what

816
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: I know now, right, Okay, I think earlier in my

817
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: coaching career, I'd be like, yeah, you know, they need

818
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: to pay the price or whatever. But now when I

819
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: know about they had played the game and then he

820
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: made him do that, yes, yes, and so I'm like

821
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: they didn't play Well, what a deal that one? And

822
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: then that Craig Ramsey's looking at him like, dude, we

823
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: gotta stop. We can't. Somebody's gonna, you know, pass out.

824
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: I think a great coaching scene from that is when

825
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: they get the kid from Minnesota who joins him late

826
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: and he's really good, but the players are like, I

827
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: don't doll and they said, now I got a team

828
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: because they voted them off. They want to be together.

829
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty good, right, Yeah he was. He was

830
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: awesome at you know, motivational tactics and just different things

831
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: that he did with that team. You know, he was great.

832
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: And his speech before the Russian game is the greatest ever?

833
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: Is the greatest ever? All right? So all right, one

834
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: more four. It's a multiple choice. You have to make

835
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: one of these happen a must make, and you get

836
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: to choose one out of these four. A four foot put,

837
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: not three, but four foot put, a free throw catch,

838
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: a fifty yard punt, you know, like a nice high

839
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: Leckler put, not a not a coffin corner, but a

840
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: nice high fifty yard putt. Or answer a random Boston

841
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: sports trivia question. One of those four you gotta do it.

842
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: What are you gonna pick? I'm gonna I mean, I'd

843
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: have to go with the last one answer a random bust.

844
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I guess I could catch the punt.

845
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm missing the putt because I'm a terrible putter. Did

846
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: you say putt? Yeah, four foot is tough. I'm a

847
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: bad putter. I mean, I'm just not us no for me,

848
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: it is he aska. I can't hit the ball anywhere,

849
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: but I can make a four foot put ask fair

850
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: bear at this question. He's not picking the putt. I'm serious, like, oh,

851
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: kickers and no free throw. I just played hoop last

852
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: night at this little league party I was at and

853
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't make anything, so I'm not doing a free throw. Okay,

854
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: Boston Sports Trivia question, it is coach. Thanks a lot
