Speaker 1: down our quarterback. No, it's Texans All Excess, presented by

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Metris Further Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: DFSIDO joining you once again, and this time it's Mark Vandermere,

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: who missed out on the first hour when we had

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Owens and we had Johnny Harris. Welcome in first

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: of all, Mark, Thank you very much, and I'm so

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: sorry I wasn't here because I was busy saving lives.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: Actually no, I wasn't. I should have been. This reminds

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: me because usually we make up a pretty fun excuse

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: for what you could possibly be doing because you give

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: us car blanche to do. So I should have said

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: you were giving out booster shots across the NFL to players.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: I would be squeamish doing now gas swabbing, Yeah, he swabbing. God,

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: they were doing volunteer duties navel swabbing. So because you know,

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago we had Pharaoh Brown and you

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: missed it, and so we told Pharaoh that you had

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: some super important sales. It was me that you had

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: some super important sales to get to for the holidays.

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: And then later he tweeted, he quote tweeted your tweet

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: promoting the show and said, I hope you had some

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: good holiday shopping. So I didn't know if he was

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: joking or if he actually thought my lie was the true.

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever double quote tweeted that

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: because I was going to and I was going to say,

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: it's a tradition that we make up an experience. Ent

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I was like, what am I doing? Just stop? Just

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: probably go. He probably knows it's a joke, but I know,

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if everyone else knew it was a joke,

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: because you know, when you write things down, it's kind

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: of like when you communicate with somebody via text message.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: The context gets ruined sometimes and somebody can seem angry

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: or you can just misinterpret the tone of a message

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: via text or tweet, And I didn't want that to

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: be misinterpreted. Context is very very important. But it's a

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: great hour with Jonathan Owens and got a chance to

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: get to know him. I know, he spoke once in

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: training camp and I felt like the majority of his

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: pressor was about his girlfriend, Simone Biles. Obviously, so we giant.

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: I made it through like a segment and a half

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: without mentioning aout mentioning her because I was like I.

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: He started his first game on Sunday against Jacksonville, had

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: a great game. He's worked really hard. We've seen him

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: throughout camp, we see him every week in practice, and

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to show to be about him, but

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't help myself. She was named Times Athlete of

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: the Year, so we asked him about that. But then,

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, we really got a chance to get to

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: know him. That sport that she participates in, I have

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: a hard time watching that. I love what they are

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: able to do and the beauty of it, but watching

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: it live, I get really nervous for them because if

56
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: they make one little mistake, it's over. See. In football,

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: you make a mistake, Oh that's too bad. You allowed

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: a first down, maybe even a touchdown, but you can

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: recover from it. Gymnastics, figure skating, sports with judges, you

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: screw up, it's over. It's done. Four years of training

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: out the window. Now they have other competitions and championships

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: and things, but the Olympics are the thing that everyone sees.

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. It's once every four year of

64
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: four years for the pinnacle event. Right now. You do

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: have other things along the way, like swimming. You have

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: the World Championships. With swimming, nobody pays attention to that

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: unless you're a really diehard swimming fan or gymnastics fan

68
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: in that case, or figure skating or whatever. So football

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: we got every week, right and obviously you have the

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl every year. But to me, it's so nerve

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: wracking watching sports where it's judged and it has to

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: be perfect or near perfect. Yeah. No, no second down,

73
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: no third down, no extra chances. Well you know what.

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: I feel that way about diving Ever since back in

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: the day when Greg Lugana is the board, I just

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: every time I watch it because I always worried about that,

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, how are they not afraid that they're gonna

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: hit their head? And he did it. He hit his head,

79
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: And now I'm like, see, I knew it. I just

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: always could see it happening, and now that's all I

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: can see. I knew it. I told you, So he's

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: never been a commentator on the Olympic podcast. I knew it.

83
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: I knew that was going to happen. I knew it

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: all along. Nobody listens to me, all right, Well, I

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: don't know if this makes you squeamish or not, but

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: just seeing the names pop up on the reserve COVID

87
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: list every single day is a lot. And I remember

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: last week when we did this show, I said, oh,

89
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: over thirty players have been tested tested positive, and now

90
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: it's like over two hundred. It's crazy. It is crazy,

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: the exponential growth of this thing in one week. And

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: the defensive linemen for this team have been hit especially hard.

93
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: And it's not getting any better, right because you have

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: another one. But you had two or three yesterday who

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: played in the game, and then you have another one today.

96
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to steal your Let's just get into it.

97
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: Let's get into our headlines are quick hits of the

98
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: week of the day. Jalil Johnson is the latest player

99
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: to have been placed on the reserve COVID list. That

100
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: just happened today. The Texans, though they did sign some

101
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: free agent d lineman who they are desperately going to

102
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: need for Sunday's game against the Chargers. They signed Xavier Williams,

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: sixth year veteran, and Ron del Carter, a two year veteran.

104
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: And then they signed Josh Watson, a linebacker, to the

105
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: practice squad. And this is all coming on top of

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: yesterday's transactions where they placed where they actually did place

107
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: three defensive lineman. They placed Jacob Martin, Derek Rivers, and

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: Milee Collins on the reserve COVID list. Now you've got

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: four guys in addition to the players that you had

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: last week, that haven't quite cleared COVID protocols. Then they

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: could they could any day. They could, they could any

112
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: day this week, but they haven't yet. Now, if even

113
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: if you haven't, ten days get you through, right, But

114
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: if you have back to back negatives, you can get

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: off that COVID list. So that would be huge. Now

116
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: if they can't, I'm gonna go Texans legends here, all right?

117
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: He goes between Seth Payne, Travis Johnson, Robert Smith. I've

118
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: seen him around to who else is there? There are

119
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of them out there, Gary Walkers around. Look

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: you get these guys. I think you get Mitchell, Earl

121
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Mitchell once Earl could probably still play. But you get

122
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: one snap a piece out of those long time retired guys.

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: Travis could get you a couple of snap here from Antonio. Yes,

124
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the Ninja. I just want to see him come out

125
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: of the tunnel one more time with the mask. The

126
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: mask perfect, It's perfect for COVID. He was ahead of

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: his time, absolutely, But get those guys to play one

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: snap each. Earl could probably play at least I don't

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: know ten to twenty, come on, let's go. But these

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: guys who just signed, hopefully they're able to go because

131
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: you might need them, and you might need them for

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the game. I think Jordan Jenkins

133
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: has not tested positive for anything. He hasn't been on

134
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: the list yet, so that's good. Roy Lopez, there's just

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: on one hand you can count the number. Blacklock was

136
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: earlier on the list, so he's okay, right, But he

137
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: tested positive earlier this season. Yeah, so that means he's

138
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,559
Speaker 1: fine for days or something right now, unless you get sick,

139
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: actually sick. Right. I'm worried about Bobby King, the D

140
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: line coach, because I'm thinking you saw what happened to

141
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Washington football team. They have like all these assistant coaches

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: that are out. So we haven't really had that here.

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Let's not Jinxit Mark just yeah. But the Texans they

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: have over I want to say, over a dozen, maybe

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: thirteen or so active players, a couple of practice squad

146
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: players that were already on the list. They missed Sunday's

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: game in Jacksonville. You had a bunch of line you

148
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: had a bunch of defensive players. So the league has instituted,

149
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: starting this week, their new protocols where they're going to

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: do this targeted testing, and they described it as like TSA,

151
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: like how you go through the airport and they just

152
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: target certain people. So you know, the reason why there's

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: so many defensive linemen that are popping up positive is

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: because obviously close contact, they can say, hey, you've got

155
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: one guy in your group or three guys in your

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: group that are positive. We're going to sort of target

157
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: this group this week. But that I don't know if

158
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: that's applied to this group though. This might be a

159
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: close contact under the old rules, because when did they

160
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: kick in and there's a whole bunch of other stuff

161
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: in play right now. Yeah, but they can they can

162
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: come off of it, presumably within a five day period

163
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: and not everyone gets tested every single week. But it's

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: still murky. It's still hard to get off of that list.

165
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: And have you had that happened to you yet this

166
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: season where there's a close contact and you have to

167
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: get tested, because we had one, you know, near and

168
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: dear to our traveling hearts and we had to get

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: tested a bunch of time and nobody else popped. I

170
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: don't know what that says about me, but no, no,

171
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: do you feel lonely? No? But you know what I do.

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: I when I go out to practice, I stand far.

173
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: I try to stand far away. I usually stand with

174
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: you guys, but I try to actually stand far away.

175
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to stay. That's when you get close contacted.

176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: Way you're standing for an extended period of time next

177
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: to someone with your connects on device. Oh and they

178
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: contract that. So I try to stay sort of away

179
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: from the group of people, or I'll come join in

180
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: a conversation, then I'll leave. So can I antibody brag?

181
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: I think you've started it. I think I started to,

182
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: all right, So I was gonna get boosted, right, But

183
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: the antibody test is available, so I took it, and

184
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: it's a blood test, and it's a real blood test.

185
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean they jab it in there and they take

186
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: some blood. I take a pile on. Yeah, this is

187
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: not like a little pin prick, because I heard about

188
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: these ones at the pharmacy chains where you could just

189
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: get a pin prick and it's just like they tell

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: you right there. I don't know how reliable that is. Now,

191
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: min went to the lab for a number of days,

192
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: came back and I aced it. I wish I did

193
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: this well of my SATs back in the day. I

194
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: das the antibody the number did you know that you

195
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: aced it? I had to look at it and interpreted

196
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: it had a little greater than the greater than less

197
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: than arrow and it was greater than twenty five hundred whatevers.

198
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: And I was like, that looks good to me. And

199
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: then I verified it so I don't have to get

200
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: boosted yet, which makes me feel validated because look, I

201
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: had COVID badly. I had both shots and I got

202
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: sick all three times. Your body knows, yeah, And I'm like,

203
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't really want to do the booster unless I

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: have to. So that's why I took the antibody test,

205
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: and I don't have to do the booster yet. You know,

206
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: at some point I'll probably have to boost or whatever.

207
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: But this was good news to me. I am jealous

208
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 1: that I didn't do that. I ended up getting the

209
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: booster because according to the new league policy, Tier one

210
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and Tier two employees have to get the booster by

211
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: December twenty seventh. Players not required to get the vaccine

212
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: because they're covered under the NFLPA. They get tested. If

213
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: you're not vaccine, you get tested every day. But employees

214
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: that work with the Texans or players, or interview players,

215
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: or do any sort of dealings with players have to

216
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: get boosted. That being said, everything is now virtual. Yeah,

217
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: so you're got to get boosted, but you're not going

218
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: to get around the players anyway. I mean, I'll go

219
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: to practice, but I'm not anywhere. I'm not a contact clothes.

220
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: So I did tell Justin Britt last week when I

221
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: interviewed him for my Deep Slant. It's up on Tiston

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Texans dot com. By the way, I said, you're the

223
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I think you're the last in person interview that I'm

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: going to do for the rest of this year. Oh yeah,

225
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: he is. Because the rule. The rule had just happened

226
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: that afternoon and he was already in studio, so they

227
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: were going to enforce it starting the next day. I

228
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: think for the rosters, you know, there's already so much

229
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: flexibility with practice squad and fifty three man, I think

230
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: they probably have plenty. I was thinking, just make everybody

231
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: available and eligible, and you know, Katie bar the door,

232
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: because you want to get through this season and then

233
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: regroup after the season and see how it goes. The

234
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: NHL had to shut down until after Christmas, and you know,

235
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I guess you know there's an epidemic going on in

236
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the NHL. Who knows, I mean there, I don't know

237
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: has anything to do with the particular sport they play.

238
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: But look, this is everywhere now what we're hearing, and

239
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: this is all anecdotal, by the way, doctor VanderMeer is

240
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: on the air here, but this is all anecdotal that

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot of this seems seems like the symptoms are

242
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: a lot more mild than the delta variant, right, which

243
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: is why I think they're making a push for if

244
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: you're asymptomatic and you test positive. I think the players

245
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: were pushing for just let us play because and and

246
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: that's where it gets mark, It's like, can you still

247
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: transmit it if you're asymptomatic and you're on the field,

248
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,479
Speaker 1: Brady said in his interview last night, you couldn't. Yeah,

249
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: And it's known that if you play, you can't transmit.

250
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, I mean you're in you're on the

251
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage all night long, right, Yeah. For however,

252
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: many snaps where you're facing a certain if you're an

253
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, you're you're in that position facing the defensive lineman.

254
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: You're down there for fifteen twenty seconds at a time,

255
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: several times, several times for like forty snaps. Right, that's

256
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: not close contact. Okay, So I think it's I think

257
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: I should shut up. No, I think, yeah, let's let's

258
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: get into a COVID controversy on a Tuesday. Well, I

259
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: think it's fine. But I think if you're what if

260
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: you're unvaccinated and you're on the field and you've got

261
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: other players with COVID that I'm playing with you, I

262
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's I think the NFL is

263
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: it's like building the plane as it's flying it, Well,

264
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: keep changing. That's society though, right now. I mean, and

265
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's almost like you

266
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: have to do it that way because you're learning on

267
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: the fly. And I think the NFL, I always said

268
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: this from the get go, the fact that they're testing

269
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: people every day last year, let's just go back to

270
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. The fact that they're testing people

271
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: every day, use this data to educate the CDC, I

272
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: mean the CDC, and who should be very interested in

273
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: what the NFL is doing, or any sport that tests

274
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: people every day, any business that tests people every day

275
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and then has them in close situations so you can track, monitor,

276
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: learn from whatever is happening in those situations. And I

277
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: think they have. I know it came out later that

278
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: the CDC was interested in some of the data that

279
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: the league had to offer, but I find it very

280
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: interesting as well. Yeah, what you just said that this

281
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: tsa type testing, no weekly testing, other than that asymptomatics

282
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: can possibly play, all of that stuff is really interesting.

283
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: I think whatever rules they just came out with, I

284
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: mean that those are not hard and fast, obviously, I

285
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: think they're gonna change. I think what's going to be

286
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: interesting is when it comes time for the playoffs and

287
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: a super Bowl in La in California, which shuts down

288
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: like it shuts When it shuts down, they turn off

289
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: the spickett Like the forty nine ers were not allowed

290
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: to play in their stadium last year, they went to

291
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Arizona to play their right games. Well, listen, I would

292
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: be surprised if there could we host US sure Texas.

293
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: Now you honestly, I would think that this they'll have

294
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: to move it. Texas and or Florida would come up

295
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: in the conversation very quickly, and it would be less

296
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: about which stadium would be the best, and more about

297
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: who can put up with the crowds, the hotels, the

298
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: instant onslaught of whatever fans and look all the infrastructure

299
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: around the Super Bowl. I mean, who would want to?

300
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: But then again, I think anybody would want to? Yeah,

301
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean I guess for the on me. But you

302
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: know how it is, that's a big show to put

303
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: on in a move. I mean, they work on that

304
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: for like an entire year. And as I say, less

305
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: about the stadium, I think it's a lot about the

306
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: stadium because you know what they do here, right. You

307
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: remember that we had to park in Sugarland basically just

308
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: to get it to the office and and the gate

309
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: to get into the facility was way out of the

310
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: blue lot and we had to walk and it wasn't

311
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: any big deal. It's kind of cool actually, just to

312
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: see the whole thing spring up, the Super Bowl city

313
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: around at RG Stadium, and they really have to build

314
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: a lot of structure around it. So I think whatever

315
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: facility had the best chance to put that together quickly.

316
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: If they did it, We're just like, it doesn't have

317
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: a chance because of the weather. I know the weather

318
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: was marble when they had a Super Bowl. You can

319
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: plan a great party, but if you if you can't

320
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: get to it. I mean I was, I was there

321
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: all we were there right. Yeah. We are slipping and

322
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: sliding all over the place. I remember going to going

323
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: to this party and Gene Simmons was there with Shannon

324
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: and it was really cool. But it was freezing out

325
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: that week and nobody knew how to drive the station

326
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: van through the ice and the snow. All these guys

327
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: are Texans, and I had to take over because Texans

328
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: freak out when they're driving in the snow or the ice,

329
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: because when there's a little slippage or slideage, they freak.

330
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, those of us from the north, we understand

331
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna slide a little bit. It's okay, it's okay.

332
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Because they had no salt or sand of the roads, right,

333
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: they did know how to deal with that in Dallas.

334
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: So I just took over. That was fun just for

335
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: a little bit there, but it was it was They

336
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: actually put on a lot of great events, but it

337
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: was freezing and it was just weird. And Radio Row

338
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: was like fifty degrees, which is cold for indoors. It

339
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: was like fifty degrees on Radio Row. We were wearing

340
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: parkas well. The super Bowl is later this year, It's

341
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: February thirteen, So I don't know if that makes a difference. Well,

342
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking if it moved, yeah, it could move somewhere.

343
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: Sounds now we're just talking here. Why I don't know

344
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: why I've gone down this workpole of the supermovie. It's

345
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: not moving. No, there's no report of it moving. Maybe

346
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm optimistic. All that being said, I'm optimistic, and

347
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: you know I'm the Norman Vincent. I had more bad news,

348
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: but go ahead with your good news. Well, I'm optimistic

349
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: that this I'm hopeful. I should say that this variant

350
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: isn't as bad as delta, and we can blow through

351
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: it a little bit easier. For lack of a better

352
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: way of putting it, maybe you know, it's a little

353
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: smoother relatively. I know that's a relative term. I know

354
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: there's already been at least one reported death or whatever

355
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: the United States. But look relative to delta and the

356
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: original Yeah, you know original recipe coronavirus. Uh, this might

357
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: not be as bad. Well, this is how things mutate, right,

358
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: the mutate and mutate mutate. It'll be like a cold,

359
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: I hope, so one day it will be a cold.

360
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: But my other bad news, well, you know they're they're

361
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: they're two teams right now that have to go to

362
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: their third string quarterback this week due to COVID Cleveland

363
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: and now Washington football team. Yeah, and then I was thinking, well,

364
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: it's good that we've got three quarterbacks. However, one of

365
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: our quarterbacks is a tight end. It's a tight end.

366
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: But you would think, oh, it's like writing, buy a

367
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: abea quarterback. Well, there's a report that he actually broke

368
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: his colarbone while playing on special teams in Jacksonville. Oh

369
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: that's out there, that's so that's not good. But we

370
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: maybe we don't even have to go down that road.

371
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: Please don't have to go there. Titus Howard at quarterback,

372
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: I would be intrigued it well, and we learned about

373
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Tremont Smith. Tremon business a quarterback. He could play a

374
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: little quarterback for you. Yeah. Look, we'll hopefully not have

375
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: to get to that. Yeah. I want to see more

376
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: of Davis Mills after what he was able to do

377
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. Yeah, I mean that game against Jacksonville. I

378
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: know we've we've talked about the COVID variant on all

379
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: these things, but that Sunday game against Jacksonville. To see

380
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: him get his first win and have it be on

381
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: the road, I mean, I really thought we had the

382
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: three games at home he'd get one of those, but

383
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: to pull it out in Jacksonville on the road against

384
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: a team that had everything to fight for was a

385
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun to see. And we had we did

386
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: like three live shows, we did a pregame, a post game,

387
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: a Monday show digital TV on digital TV. Maybe it's

388
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: something that'll come in the future, but I mean, we

389
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: couldn't talk about that game enough. That's great because what

390
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: a great way to kick off that digital TV stuff. Yeah,

391
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: because if you had like this massive blowout on the

392
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: road like Buffalo or something, that wouldn't have been as

393
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: much fun. I thought it was a nice win. It

394
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: was one of those victories that showed you what the

395
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: organization's working on with these young players. And to see

396
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the young players execute, to see Davis able to execute

397
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: the way he did Niko with a couple of catches,

398
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: too bad, Brevin couldn't play. Roy Lopez making plays, Garrett

399
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Wallow making plays. These young guys in there making plays

400
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 1: was really cool. And of course Brandon Cook's doing his thing.

401
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: Over one hundred receiving yards for the second straight week,

402
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: the veteran, the og at wide receiver doing his thing.

403
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: That was nice. I mean, he's just fifty five yards

404
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: away from another one thousand yards season and he's got

405
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: three games to do it, so he's there, he's there.

406
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: It's just so fun to see him and what he's

407
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: able to do. And I know, you know, we've talked

408
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: about the offense and lack of consistency, but when it

409
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: has been consistent, when it's been good, no matter who's

410
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: that quarterback, Brandon Cooks has come up with. Well, you

411
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: asked a good question the other day in our meeting

412
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: about Pro Bowl for him. And you know, he might

413
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: not get voted in on the first try, but he's

414
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: something like seventh in the AFC six or seventh in catches,

415
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: and I could easily see him going in as an

416
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: alternate with you know, whatever the AFC team that goes

417
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Let's say it's the Chiefs and

418
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill or whatever. He's a pro bowler, but he's

419
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: not going to play in the Pro Bowl. A right,

420
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: there's one. Another guy's having surgery, whatever, there's two. You know,

421
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: he could find himself in the Pro Bowl, and that'd

422
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: be really cool for Brandon Cooks to get there, even

423
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: if it is as an alternate. If that turns out

424
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: to be the case and the specialists have a shot,

425
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: let's let's just see what happens. I was really just

426
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: asking because I wanted to make a trip to last thing.

427
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: I know you do. I had to cover it every

428
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: year when it was in Orlando, and then last year

429
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: it moved and then it got canceled because of COVID.

430
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: But the Fashion Square mall? What is the mall there?

431
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: The Caesars? Yeah, at the hotels? Does Caesar still have

432
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: that indoor mall area where the sun rise. It doesn't sunrise,

433
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: it's but he gets dark and light. It becomes day

434
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: and night within the indoor area. It's really cool. They

435
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: have it messages with your mind and your internal clock

436
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: a little bit already it's Shotah, you have no idea

437
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: what time it's Vegas if you're indoors. Yeah. But but

438
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. The fact that he's never made a Pro

439
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Bowl in his career, to me, is very very hard

440
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: to believe. That's why. That's why I was asking, because

441
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: I thought if he were to make it in I

442
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: know sometime sometimes guys don't want to go. I could

443
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: see him wanting to go. Yeah, why not. It's Vegas.

444
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: It's Vegas. It's in a cool place. They didn't have

445
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: anything like this last year. He's coming off back to

446
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: back thousand yards seasons. That'd be very nice. It would

447
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: be really nice. How about Kaiimi Fairbear and back to

448
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 1: back games with a fifty plus yard field goal. If

449
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: he gets one more, that'd be three in a row

450
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: for him. That'd be a franchise record. And what I

451
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: mean scoring twelve points on all for this team last

452
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: week on Special Teams. I mean, he's done a fantastic

453
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: job this year. It's hard to believe it. Early in

454
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: the season he was actually having issues and was dealing

455
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: with an injury. Well, you come out of that game

456
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: with two candidates for Special Teams Player of the Week,

457
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: which is nice, with Fairbaron and Treymon Smith. And after

458
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Fairbaron hit the sixty one yard or you know, if

459
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: they had won that game, he probably gets the honor

460
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: because I think McManus won it the week before somebody

461
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: like that who didn't even do what Fairbaron did. But again,

462
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: you got to win the game. Apparently, if you don't win,

463
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what you can have. Two kickoff returns

464
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: for touchdown doesn't count. Your team doesn't win. It's like,

465
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're not gonna win the honor. Yeah, which

466
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: is I think unfortunate, but I guess that that makes

467
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: it a bigger play if and it contributes to a

468
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: team's win. But Trymon Smith. We had him on last

469
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: week and I think we asked him, or maybe I

470
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: asked him on my deep slint about how he had

471
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: nearly had returned a kickoff return for a touchdown. His

472
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: rookie season. I did not know that that was something

473
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: that he had thought about all these years. How he

474
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: wanted to you know, well, I mean I think when

475
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: you do that, you always want to do that, but

476
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: you're always thinking, look, just yet beyond the twenty five plus, Right,

477
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. I gotta get it

478
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: past the touchback point in order to be plus net

479
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: plus now for what I do, because it always comes

480
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: back to me, as we all know, for what I do. Listen.

481
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: This is why being an NFL play by play guy

482
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: is unique in that at any given time, something totally

483
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: unexpected and spectacular can happen. And I've called how many

484
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: kickoff returns since two thousand and nine since the last

485
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: time this happened for the Houston Texans. So it's been

486
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: that long since I've done one of these, And all

487
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, here it is in twenty twenty one

488
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville in the rain, Tremon Smith runs it back

489
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: for a TV hasn't happened since two thousand nine, since

490
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: Jacobe Jones did it against Oakland. That's amazing, really it

491
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: took that long. But the rules changing and all that,

492
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I get it. It doesn't happen very often, but that

493
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: croves my point that you got to be ready, and

494
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: you know I was. I got the call right. I

495
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: was worried as the play was going on. I thought,

496
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: did I say that he was down? You know, I'm

497
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: thinking this in my hand as I'm saying, he's running

498
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: into the end, Zoe. But no, I never did, because

499
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: he did look like he did look like he got

500
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: tripped up in the middle of the fielder. Do you

501
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: remember what your Jacoby Jones call was when he touch

502
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: probably rock and roll touchdown something well you sometimes razzled down, Yeah, Rad,

503
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: that's usually some kind of trick or deception play. A

504
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: return for a score is has got to be a

505
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: rock and roll because that doesn't happen very like a

506
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: rock on or something like that. Different. You know what

507
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I said at Miami in the National Championship game, And

508
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: I saw this because Tyler Souther did a feature on

509
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: my old calls. I said, kick out the jams, which

510
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: is an old rock saying, but nobody would know it.

511
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: I can't bring it back. It would be what if

512
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm going to try this out the next

513
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: kickoff return, And then I waited on the thirteen twelve

514
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: years or whatever. He waits twelve years to bust it

515
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: out of here. Well, they showed Jacobe Jones. They showed

516
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: the highlight of that of that kickoff return touch on

517
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: the TV copy, and I had forgotten about his touchdown celebration.

518
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: What did he do? He did like kind of like

519
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: he's outlining a woman. And I don't know, I don't

520
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: know if we want to see that right now. I

521
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: just hashtag Jacoby Now. I looked up at the monitor

522
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: at one point and I saw a number twelve running

523
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: the ball back and I thought, are they showing old

524
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: Jacoby Jones here? Because I couldn't I could stay on

525
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: the monitor, you know, And that was the TV feed,

526
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: So that must have been the moment they did it. Well.

527
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: They the Jaguar Stadium is notorious for showing other games,

528
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: especially when they were well I was gonna say no, no,

529
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: but this was. This was the CBS feed. The CBS

530
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: feed they showed in the stadium. They used to show

531
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: scores and highlights from other games. You know what they

532
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: show during the game. Yeah, they have red zone running

533
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: during the game. Like I'm looking up. I'm like, is

534
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins and Jets up there? Like it is

535
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: red zone. They just leave it on in the corner monitor. Yeah,

536
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: in the bowl all the time. It's like you can

537
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: get a swim. You can run out into the end

538
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: zone and get tackled and be part of the play.

539
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: That's what that is. Keep up with your fantasy football team.

540
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: You can do it all that you that is losing

541
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: all the time for years and we just have to

542
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: make it entertaining for everybody in the stadium and everyone's

543
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, Jacksonville is not quite like South Florida, but

544
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: it is a very transient place like people are from

545
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: other places. So they do that all right. Well, when

546
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: we come back, let's look ahead to the Chargers. Still

547
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,199

561
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: to Texans All Access. We've got the Chargers at home.

562
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday here at NRG Stadium, the roof might be

563
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: open if the weather is nice, which I think it's

564
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be. It's supposed to be like eighty on Christmas,

565
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: all right, If it's eighty on Sunday and Sunday it's

566
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: two one. Seriously, this is the Dome. Culture cannot tolerate

567
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: sunny and eighty because in the bowl at n RG

568
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: it's a lot hotter. We've been over this. In the

569
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: sun drenched seats. It's not gonna fly, not gonna be open.

570
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: If that's the case. Now, if it's like sixty five,

571
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: we got a good shot. Yeah. Well maybe maybe it's

572
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be eighty on Christmas Day, but we've got

573
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: two home games left, So roof is probably going to

574
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: be open the rest of the season. You think I

575
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: can't say that. Deep, it's a week thing. It's a

576
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: week to week thing. With you. I thought it was.

577
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: I just thought once the precedent has been set. No,

578
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: I can't know where we open the roof in December,

579
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: the weather conditions. No, you're not new here, because listen,

580
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: you know how this is been through a couple of

581
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: seasons where once they open the roof, Yeah, two thousand

582
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: and eight because it was broken from the hurricane from

583
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: hurric here in two thousand and eight. But I did

584
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: attend those games. But last year, last year, I don't.

585
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: It might have been open but cold. It might have

586
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: been cold one or two games. That's the thing. Well,

587
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. It's temperature base. As long as

588
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: like the stars align, chance for to be open is high.

589
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, I'm not saying it's automatically. Oh no, no, no,

590
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: I know I know that much. We're in agreement that.

591
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: And I know there's like a fifty eighty rule ish

592
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: and then chance of rain that was never all right,

593
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: So that was a thing in the early days, but

594
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: that went away. The fifty I don't because I don't

595
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: think if it was fifty two, I swear there were

596
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: days where it was like fifty seven and overcast at

597
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: perfect and they would know, but it would feel cold.

598
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think O'Brien liked it open at all.

599
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that what was it the last

600
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: time it was open? He was fourteen here last year,

601
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: right right? He wasn't here and it was COVID, so

602
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: they said open it, right, fourteen? Fourteen or fifteen? I

603
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: think fourteen was the last time it was open. Fourteen

604
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: or fifteen was the last time it was open. He

605
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: liked it closed. And look, it might be a competitive advantage.

606
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: They won a lot of games here, so give them

607
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: credit for that, and I like winning. And look, if

608
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: if it's going to result in a win, you know,

609
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: close the thing and you know, put the rodeo black

610
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: strips up there to sound prove it. Although that's counterproductive,

611
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, didn't we have Traymon We had Traymonton

612
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Smith last week? Didn't he say he likes it closed

613
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: because he does not like the shadows on the field,

614
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, it returns the ball. I think that

615
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: would weigh heavily. I think fans would get that if

616
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: a player, If players came out and said we do

617
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: not let it open, it makes it and it's an

618
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: advantage disadvantage for both teams. You could say, I really

619
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: wonder when they built it. At some point, I'm going

620
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: to interview Charlie casually again because I'm going to talk

621
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to him about all this stuff. Hey say, we know that.

622
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: I want to see what he says about I want

623
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: to hear what he says about that particular part of it.

624
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were going to change the stadium

625
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: from north south to east west based on the sun alone,

626
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: because they had to configure it a certain way, right,

627
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: and we wanted along Kirby. I'm sure they had all

628
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: that in mind. But did they know that the sun

629
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: was going to be a problem in that north end

630
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: zone early in the day, because it really is, Like

631
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Jacobe Jones, he's done problems with that. Traymon Smith talked

632
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: about it. I think he lost two in the sun.

633
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: But you play away games in the sun all the time. Yeah,

634
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: but I have no choice there here. You have a choice.

635
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: So that kind of comes into play, doesn't it. Right, Well,

636
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: if it was open, you would just like Jackson would

637
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: be playing in the pouring down rain or you'd be

638
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: playing in the sun. It wouldn't really our fans, listen,

639
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: this is the Dome culture. They grew up in the Dome.

640
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Not everybody, but that's just the way it is. In Houston.

641
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: We have a roof, we can close them and it

642
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: Made Park we can close to that too. You know.

643
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: We just really like the December days when they're nice

644
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: and people just want to enjoy nice weather because it's

645
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: hot six months out of the year. But that being said,

646
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: Indianapolis has the worst shadows on the field I've ever

647
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: seen in my life that design. Someone should question the

648
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: beams going across the top, because I think a fifth

649
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: grader would be able to tell you that that's going

650
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: to cast some really awful light. Dark light dark. A

651
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: good point. I wonder if they had to know about

652
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: you have to know about it, but they must have said,

653
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: and I'll be fine, let's just go with its rafters.

654
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: That's a cool stadium, though, I gotta say that's a

655
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: very little school. The players probably hate returning kicks. They

656
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: probably hate that. But as a fan, as a member

657
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: of the media, like whatever I do and go there.

658
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I really enjoy that stadium, except I don't enjoy losing

659
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: in that stadium. And that's happened way too often. That

660
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: has happened way too often. And guess what, You're not

661
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to lose there again. But the fact that

662
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: you've beat the Jazz hate times in a row. Like

663
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: I talked with J. P. Shadick, who is the Jaggers Radiowork.

664
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: He hates us. They hate us like poison. They hate

665
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: us the way you hate the Colts, don't. They hate

666
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: all the AFC South teams. Everybody has a winning record

667
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: against the Jats, everybody. I think they thought this was

668
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: their year too. I think they knew well. In twenty seventeen, Yeah,

669
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: they swept the Texans because that was the year. That

670
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: was a four and twelve season. Deshaun Watson goes down

671
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 1: with the injury on on IR and then now this

672
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: year with everything going on. Even last year, the two

673
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: of the games we won, we're against Jacksonville. This year,

674
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: they fire their head coach Urban Meyer. What a season

675
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: that's been for them. They were excited. They're gonna move forward.

676
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: This will be great. They can get the Texans when

677
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: they're down, they're gonna run the ball a bunch. Couldn't

678
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: run the ball a bunch. And well, when Meyer got

679
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: hired last offseason, if I've told you, by the second

680
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 1: meeting with the Jaguars, he's gone. And the Texans are

681
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: winning that game. And yes, the Jaguars have Trevor Lawrence

682
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: and Houston as a third round draft towards at quarterback.

683
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: Who looks better than Trevor Lawrence on that day, Texans win.

684
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Much better organizational situation for the Texans in that game.

685
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, just when you look at the snapshot of

686
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: that afternoon and I'm thinking, man, it's got to be

687
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: tough of the Jaguars. It really does. I thought the

688
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: crowd at the beginning of the game, I know they

689
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: all went inside or wherever they went. Funny because whenever

690
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: it rained on the TV broadcast, it's and the fans

691
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: are now leaving their seats. Oh yeah, they were out

692
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: of there, but then they'd come back when the sun

693
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: would come out, they'd run back in. Yep. Nobody nobody

694
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: brought ponchos or anything. It's like they did not expect

695
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: it to happen or something, and it's Florida could happen anytime.

696
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: So it was that was a weird thing. But I

697
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: thought they had a pretty decent crowd there relative to

698
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: what's been happening there for the last decade plus. Did

699
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: they still have those sections tarped off the way they

700
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: used to back in the corners. I think they might

701
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: have had something, you know what, I can't remember because

702
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: they opened it back up in twenty seventeen when they

703
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: started to do really well. I'm not sure if they've

704
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: covered some of that up. I was focused on the pools,

705
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, especially the murky side where's yeah, yeah, it's

706
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: like I'm not going to that water, you know. I

707
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: was here's something funny. You talk about Trevor Lawrence and

708
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills playing each other and one of the I

709
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: believe it was the pregame show for Sunday Night Football.

710
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it was one of the postgame shows. Yeah, maybe

711
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: it was Sunday Night Football Bill Kawer, which I don't

712
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: know which should be CBS. Okay, So it was at

713
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: the end of the three o'clock games, they were showing

714
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: some highlights from our game, and he was talking about how, yeah,

715
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is a rookie, but Davis Mills has a

716
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: few seasons under his belt. I talked about Davis Yeah,

717
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: as if he as if Davis Mills had played a

718
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: couple of years. And then they and then the other

719
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: one of the other commentators jumped in and said, well,

720
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: they're both rookies. Yeah. So, and I was watching Bill

721
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: cow or space to see if it but he remained expressionless.

722
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: The check's going to clear anyway, folks. The direct deposit

723
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: is pipelining right into my bank account. I didn't know

724
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: if that was a we should take that. I mean, granted,

725
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: he's not as prepared covering our team, but I thought,

726
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's a good thing. I gotta know, Davis

727
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Mills as a rookie. He doesn't have two or three

728
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: seasons under his belt in colleague. Where did you think

729
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: he was playing last year? Yeah, barely played for Stanford

730
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: last year because of COVID, because the whole team had

731
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: a half a season at best. Wow, that's really a

732
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: bad mistake. Yeah, I mean, I thought, on top of

733
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: everything else with the game with a fan running out

734
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: to the end zone, John Harris asked Jonathan Owens what

735
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: he said that was probably the one of the best

736
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: hits of the game when the security guy like piled

737
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: on to the fan in the end zone. I'll tell

738
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: you what johnthan Owens said, he didn't even see it.

739
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: He said he was so full he was mad that

740
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: that was the James Robinson touchdown. That's what that was,

741
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: all right, because I was focused on the ball too,

742
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: and then out of the corner of my eyes saw

743
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: something happen and somebody had taken off and I didn't

744
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: see the actual hit as it occurred live. But yeah,

745
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: they those CBS guys, Nate Burlson, they played a comment

746
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: from him talking about how much juice the Jags had

747
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: and they're down twenty to ten at the break. Hey,

748
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: what game are you watching here? Speaking of hard hits,

749
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Garrett wallowed a good hit on Trevor Lawrence on the sideline.

750
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: It was legal, you know, barely, but he got it

751
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: in there right before Lawrence went out of bounds, and

752
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: Lawrence wasn't quite giving himself up. I don't fault guys

753
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: for kind of pushing the envelope there, because so many

754
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: times you see somebody like up the sideline for two

755
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: or three more yards, and I know you don't want

756
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: to risk a fifteen yard penalty. But man, those yards

757
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: are really frustrating when you give him up. I mean,

758
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: I think before the game even started on a pregame show,

759
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: we talked about how worried we were for the secondary

760
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: and for stopping the run because you thought Darrell Bell

761
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: is gonna come out and they're gonna just run the ball.

762
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: Because James Robinson, I don't know, for whatever reason, was

763
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: underutilized all those weeks there. I mean, he surpassed his

764
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: Week fourteen Yeah, week fourteen totals in like the first

765
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: driver too. Yeah, against the Texans. But the fact that

766
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: they were able to slow him down once he got

767
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: into the end zone, once the defense buckled down rather nicely,

768
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: they held him to feel, even on that Davis Mills pick,

769
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,479
Speaker 1: they held they held the Jaguars to just a field.

770
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: That was a big moment right there, because that's letting

771
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: the Jaguars right back into the game. They can get

772
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: him too the end zone. But yeah, that was a

773
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: three and out field goal. Okay, it's a one score game.

774
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: But you can deal with that, and they did deal

775
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: with it very well. Yeah, I think you're right, Levey Smith.

776
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: That was Look, I'm not gonna call it a masterpiece.

777
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: You beat the Jaguars. But that was nice because you

778
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: had so many guys out and people stuck to their assignments,

779
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: and early on it looked like it looks like the

780
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: Jags are gonna be able to move the ball all

781
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: day long. And then you're right. They made the adjustments

782
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: or whatever they did to slow them down and it

783
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: really worked out well. Chris Smith getting making plays, Derek Rivers,

784
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: he sack at another quarterback tackle Chris Smith with the

785
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: sack celebration. He was the one that was like he

786
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: was hungry and he got fed with the say he

787
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: was like rubbing his belly. Finally gets fed because he

788
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: get in the league for a while. I mean, he

789
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: played for the Jags against this former team. But I

790
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: was most encouraged. I think about the scoring in the

791
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Like the offense in the second half stalled

792
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: like it seems to have done in recent weeks. But

793
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: the fact that Davis Mills and they drove down the

794
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: field and we're able to score in the fourth quarter

795
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: on the final possession of the game. I hope that's

796
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: something that translates moving forward. Yeah, now you could say

797
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks probably should have slid because if you slide

798
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: at the ten yard line, you know, and that it's

799
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a baseball situation where somebody's gonna

800
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: say two outs, right, if somebody gets a first down,

801
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: hit the deck. Don't go out about just hit the deck,

802
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: because if you have a first down at the two

803
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: minute warning, the other team doesn't have timeouts, game over right,

804
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: they can't. Yeah, you can't stop a player from scoring,

805
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, but then your defense has to get back

806
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: on the field and play, and you don't want to

807
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: get them hurt. You know, even if it's a garbage

808
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: time situation. Well, your defense is already really thin, and

809
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: your offense has struggled scoring in the second half, scoring touchdowns,

810
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: got you gotta go ahead and take that, take the points.

811
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: I mean, let's I wouldn't overcomplicated. All right, let's take

812
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: a break. We've got one final segment. We'll go around

813
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: the NFL all coming up on Texans all acis Texans

814
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: all Access continues in a moment, two is better than one.

815
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: How many times have you heard that one more than once?

816
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: I bet, because it just adds up. For example, there

817
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: are two, not one, great reasons to fill up with

818
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: chevron with techron number one unbeatable cleaning power and number two,

819
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus

820
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: Chevron quits Techron in every grade, every gallon of their gasoline.

821
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: So that's two, no, way, three unbeatable reasons to go

822
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: with the one and only Chevron with Techron, care for

823
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: your car, Care for your car, going somewhere the Texans mobile.

00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, let's go around the NFL. I mean,

831
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: I was thinking, all right, we've there obviously two games

832
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: on tonight. Yeah, um, and then there was a game

833
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: on last night, and there's earlier two games last night

834
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: because you have the afternoon game and then the evening game.

835
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: This this week, we will only have two days only

836
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: two days without NFL football, which I actually, I mean,

837
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: with everything bad that happens with COVID, I really enjoy

838
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the Tuesday games. I'm not saying that I would want

839
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: us to play on a Tuesday, but I enjoy the

840
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: fact that there's a Sunday night, a Monday night to

841
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: a Monday Day Monday night. I mean, I really am digging.

842
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: I kind of like the Monday Day game. I liked

843
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: having that around dinner hour and like watching what was it?

844
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: Cleveland and the Raiders just saw the end of it. Yeah,

845
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: we're reading dinner just saw the end of it. Perfect.

846
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: And it was a close game. I was rooting for

847
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: the Browns. I like Derek Carr, you know, I like Derek,

848
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: and I kind of root for Derek, and I was

849
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: glad he pulled it out for him. He was not

850
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: a Raider at all, but I wanted the Browns to

851
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: win that one. With Nick Mullins aka Mall Santa as

852
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: they called him in San Francisco, I thought Mall Santa

853
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: did really well last bat. He left the field that

854
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: the lead. It's too bad for him, he couldn't pull

855
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: it out. For the Brownie fans who have suffered so

856
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: much over the years, but hey whatever, I look, everybody

857
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: else can suffer as far as I'm concerned. But you

858
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: know what, What's the worst thing about that game for

859
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: the Browns is that if they would have won, they

860
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: would have been a game over five hundred, and they

861
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: would have been in first place in their division. Losing

862
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: there's seven and seven their last in their division. Isn't

863
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: that weird? And they're now like in twelfth place in

864
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: the AFC. So you know, it just makes you think, like,

865
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: do we like the parody in the NFL this year? Yes?

866
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: I like it too, because I've heard some arguments that, uh,

867
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: there's no like true contenders, there's no like fantastic team.

868
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm done with are you kidding? Done with

869
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: all that? I would love to be one of those

870
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: teams in that giant mosh pit that has like a

871
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: big mystery of because if you win your final two

872
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: or three, okay, now you make it, and whoever gets

873
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: hot is the winner is good? Is going to be

874
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champ. Now, look, Kansas City is looking

875
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: like they're headed for supremacy again. But Hill and Kelsey

876
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: covid issues. We'll see what happens with them. You never know.

877
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's very Arizona looked not unbeatable,

878
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: but looked really strong. A few weeks ago. Now it's

879
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: who are they? Right? Those guys don't look good at all.

880
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: It hops out for a long time. You know, he

881
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: could come back for the championship game. I guess if

882
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: they get there. Murray. Murray doesn't look right to me.

883
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: He looks like he's walking around like, oh my gosh, January. Yeah,

884
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: he does not look fresh. Brady didn't look good the

885
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: other day, got blanked. I mean, who knows. I don't

886
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: know who's gonna win the Super Bowl. I think it's

887
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: great to have this mystery, and I have all these

888
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: teams a lot. I think it's great. Chill Brady, like

889
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: all of his offensive weapons went down one by one

890
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: by one in that game. But how about the Vikings.

891
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: I saw a postgame locker room speech by Zimmer and

892
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: where we where we? I mean, just about how exciting

893
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: it is. They're seven and seven, like these next three

894
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: games matter, and I thought, we're we're we're people talking

895
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: about having that he was going to get fired and

896
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: they will again if they lose any one of these

897
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: final three games. Trust me, he's any and Cousins. Even

898
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: though he's putting up good numbers, although not in the

899
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: victory of the Bears. Those numbers were not impressive, but

900
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: still they won the game, and that's a division opponent. Boy,

901
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: the Bears out. They are really struggling, and I don't

902
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,479
Speaker 1: know what to say about them. And we know people

903
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: who work there too. It's just a rough season. To

904
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: be not like five hundred. This would have been a

905
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: great season. Oh, just to be alive, like on Christmas morning,

906
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: you have all but five teams or something like that

907
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: alive for the postseason. You know, Look, some teams more

908
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: alive than others. I get that. But the Dolphins they've

909
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: won six in a row. We were one in seven.

910
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: They were one in seven where they even lost since

911
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: they played us, well that was actually yeah, that was

912
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: the start of the streets, right. Yeah, So here they

913
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: are at five hundred. Good for them. They have the Saints,

914
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: they have a couple of others downs. We'll see, we'll see.

915
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 1: Everybody's alive. Not everybody, but so many teams are alive

916
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: and it's hard to predict who's gonna get really hot

917
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: in the postsea. Meanwhile, during our game, they were showing

918
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: the Lions winning and then the Jags and the Texans.

919
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: The main takeaway was they're fighting for the number one spot.

920
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, when nobody is fighting the number one spot. No,

921
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: they're fighting for wins, and whoever ends up with number

922
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: one ends up with number one. And at that point

923
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: you'll say, all right, great, at least we have the

924
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: number one pick. But no coach or player wants the

925
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: number one pick. It's ridiculous. Now everybody wants to everybody

926
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: wants to win and head into the off season on

927
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: a good note. All right, We're gonna head out of

928
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: the show on a good note. We've got a fantastic

929
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: Texans replay with John Harris. Cannot relive this game enough.
