We know the first game, well, we 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: know the first two games. You're right, because the home 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: openers have been released and the rest of it gets 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: released at seven o'clock.

Right? Oh? Yeah, 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna get all that get them at home? Yeah, 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: this year one on the road. We are very interested 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: in that because we produced those television broadcasts ourselves, unless 28 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: there's a national broadcast, and we'll see if there is one. Okay, 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: let's get to the General. John McClean is the general 30 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: with us tonight at evening. John, I am always with 31 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: you on Thursday nights unless you ditched me for some reason. 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: We would not we would never do that. General. There's 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: there's not And I'll tell you what, guys, it's not 34 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: just what's going on with the Texas. The NFL Astro's 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: about to win the tenth in a row, Rockets find 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: out how many their pink pall or they're drafting next week, 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: And like you said, the rookie minicamp it's more exciting. 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: I think the last time we had a rookie minicamp 39 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: this exciting was twenty fourteen when Jadeveon Clowney was the 40 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: first pick in the draft, and people were so excited 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: about it. But if you look at those drafts sins, 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, even when they had to Shaun Watson, they 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: traded up to get him, nobody had any idea'd be 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: as good as he was. But because of all the 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: pigs that Nick Caserio is compiled, I think there's more 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: excitement for this that would make this eight years from 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: when they drafted Clowney. So I'll be over there tomorrow 48 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: doing a story on Jail and Petrie for the Wakeco 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Tribune Arrow and then I'll be going down to Keema 50 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: for our remote And can't wait to see the schedule. 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: It's out in Cleveland. Somebody tweeted a schedule that said 52 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: they're playing here on December fourth, which I said all along, 53 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: I wish it would be late November or December. So 54 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: that tells me the schedule makers, I guarantee you and 55 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: talk to the Commissioner's office and they knew knocked the 56 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: schedule Watson here early in the season, so it tells 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: me he's going to be suspended, and then he'll be 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: off that suspension when he plays an NRG stadium, which 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: may be the hottest regular season Well, I think it 60 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: will be. And see if you guys agree, the hottest 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: regular season ticket in franchise history, I would think other 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: than the opener. Really yeah, the Cowboys. That's probably the 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: only one I could think of, or any Cowboys game. 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean, eighteen was a eighteen with Dallas coming here 65 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: was a was a pretty good one. But yeah, I 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: mean it's a boy. As far as the way the 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: game sets up without concern for records and things like that, 68 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: I would say it would have to be right because 69 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: even if the Texans aren't having a good season at 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: that point, that's still gonna be a huge game. So 71 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: in that way, I gotta think about this. But man, 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of big games. But I would 73 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: say you're probably right. Look, the Packers in twelve was 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: such a hot ticket. We forget about that being five 75 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: and oh going into that Sunday night er that was 76 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: a flaming guy. Give me a break. It's the Cowboys 77 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: and it's the Browns. The buzz before this game that 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: they'll be playing all over the NFL, all over Houston. 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe if let's see, when will they play 80 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: Arizona here? You know, will JJ Watt still be playing. 81 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: I think if JJ came back and he was healthy 82 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and he played a regular season game here, people go 83 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: crazy for a different reason. But I think a lot 84 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: of people, well, yeah, well I'm maybe JJ will still 85 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: be playing. But I'm thinking in this game he'll get 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: some chairs, but he's gonna get a lot of booze. 87 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: Could be next year, all because they're finishing the same 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: place as Yeah, yeah, it could be. Gotta watch, We 89 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: gotta watch that. General, what do you think about opening 90 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: the season against the Colts at home? What are your 91 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: thoughts on that matchup? Because there we sit right now, 92 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Colts blew him out twice last year with Carson Wentz. 93 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't see. I'm Matt Ryan's gonna play better than 94 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz played in those two games last season when 95 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: he didn't turn the ball over and he had some 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: deep throws. I liked the fag Texans is gonna have 97 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: a lot of new players, a lot of news starters, 98 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: and I think they'll have two news starters in their 99 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: secondary and Stingling and Petrie and bring on Matt Ryan. 100 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 1: You know he hasn't been as good the last couple 101 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: of years. Was it the talent or was it him 102 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: starting to deteriorate. I'll guarantee you Lovey Smith is gonna 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: make this run defense better than Jonathan Taylor is not 104 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to kind of games he had last season. General, 105 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: we got a question during our live stream and I 106 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: thought about it, and it was asking us about Win's 107 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: a good time to face Mahomes and Herbert. I thought, 108 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: not really, anytime really with those two guys, especially because 109 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: they've been there for years and they know the systems 110 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: and all that. But Russell Wilson's going to a new system, 111 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: a new coach in new city. And it's week two. 112 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: It's the home opener for the Denver Broncos in Week two, 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: So after the Colts go to the Broncos in Russell 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: Wilson's first home game, but Broncos might still be kind 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: of working things out with Russell. What do you think 116 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: about going to Denver so early? I'd predicted later in 117 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: the year. I didn't really want to face them then, 118 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know week two going to Denver. I 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: don't think it's horrible. What are your thoughts about going 120 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: to Denver week two? They always say it's not what 121 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: you do in September and October. What you do in 122 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: November and December, and that's for playoff teams. They when 123 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: that report came out in Kansas City, the Chiefs were 124 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: gonna open here. I'm all for it. Get those AFC 125 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: West games out of the way, get them in there, 126 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: or get them there and get them out. And so 127 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: it's the toughest division I have ever seen, from top 128 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: to bottom. And you're playing those quarterbacks and I think, 129 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: I think going to Denver in the second game is 130 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: great when I'm hoping they'll play Justin Herbert and Derek 131 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Carr and who am I missing from the NFC? Oh 132 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: my homes. Get them out of the way early, Yeah, 133 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: that guy. Get them out of the way early. Keep 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the division games later. And because a lot of people, 135 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: it's something that just that irritates me is last year, 136 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: so many people picked the Jaguars to finished out of 137 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: the Texans, even though the Texans have beat them six 138 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: times in a row. So the Texans were underdogs, I 139 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: believe by five and six and a half. They beat 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: them pants off of them twice. Jaguars haven't beat them 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen. And now a lot of people picking 142 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: the Jaguars way ahead of the Texans. Maybe that'll happen, 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: but I want to see him do it. So I'm 144 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: hoping that the I'm hoping to Division games are gonna 145 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: be at a point where middle or late in the 146 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: season and where they have a run on them, because 147 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: that way, Davis Mills will have more playing time, Damian 148 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: Pearce will have more playing time, more likely to be 149 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: in the lineup by then, all these talented rookies, I 150 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: want them to play it against the Vision Games because 151 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: they swept the Jaguars last year, beat the Titans, could 152 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: have beat the Titans second time. They came really close 153 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: to being four and two in the AFC South. So 154 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Tennessee's better without a j Brown. I 155 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: don't think Jacksonville's better. I think they're about the same. 156 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: And then of course Jaguars could be better, and they 157 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: could still be the worst team in the league. We 158 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: mentioned Patrick Mahomes or Polo ban Caro. Did you'll see 159 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: this over the weekend? I forgot to even bring this up. 160 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: F one had a race in Miami, and I've been 161 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: more of a follower of f onece. I've been watching 162 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: a Netflix show and So this guy was interviewing who 163 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: he thought was Patrick Mahomes and it turned out to 164 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: be a Polo ban carro from Dude and I happened 165 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: at turn on seven inches shorter.

I don't think 168 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: you're the guy. I'm thinking future Houston Rocket, Yes, could 169 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: be a future could be a future h Houston Rocket, hopefully. 170 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: What's the Netflix show on one formula what's it called? 171 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: When guy, I can't remember what. It's called Formula Drive 172 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: or something like that. A reality Yeah, and it's a 173 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: documentary about the F one season. It's fantastic, General, have 174 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: you seen it? I have, not saying it, but it's 175 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: really it's I mean, it is excellent. It's like miked 176 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: up on steroids, like NFL's miked up like on steroids. 177 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable the footage and stuff that they have gotten 178 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: from these F one uh drivers, from their the audio 179 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: they get from the race cars. It's it's incredible the 180 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: things that they've got. General, this is this has turned 181 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: into such a big day. This the schedule release and 182 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: really It's like, over the last eight years, it's seemingly 183 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. When you look 184 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: at it, it's really just, well, here's when teams are playing. 185 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: Why has it struck a nerve really for NFL fans 186 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: and for just the NFL that this day is so 187 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: big that the schedule is released when they know who 188 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: and where. But now we found out when why has 189 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: it become so big? Do you think because the NFL 190 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: PR machine deems itself the creation of the NFL network 191 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: took the combine to a whole new stratusphere. It's taken 192 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: as scheduling to a whole new stratusphere. The Pro Football 193 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: of Fame announcement to the whole new stratusphere. At some 194 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: point they'll do something on the schedule every night when 195 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: I listened to shows, a breathlessly waiting for the schedule 196 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: even though you know who they're gonna play and where 197 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna play. And the first one I always looked 198 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: at was the Titans on the road because I wanted 199 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: to know when I was going to Nashville, then Jacksonville 200 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: and the Innnapolis. This year, of course, the Browns because 201 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: of Watson and the Texans road schedule this year as 202 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: far as great trips. As my wife Carol has pointed 203 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: out to me numerous times, couldn't you wait one more year? 204 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: And I said, if you want to go to any 205 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: of those cities, you don't watch the game, just say it. 206 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: We'll go to those cities. And I told her, I said, 207 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: you never know, I might be making a few road 208 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: trips as year. I've had some invitations, and it is 209 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: a great schedule. You guys are gonna have so much 210 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: fun in the cities where the Texans are gonna play. Now. 211 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: Of course a lot of those are really tough games, 212 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: but I think the schedule is so exciting and if 213 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: the NFL can make it any bigger, it will. Yeah. 214 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: I think announcing this date when they did prior to 215 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: the trap, this is what it's going to happen, seven 216 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: pm May twelve. That gave everybody a target. And you 217 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: had this build up and leaking. It's not a leak 218 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: when the NFL does it, it's an announcement of a 219 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: primetime game. Every day they've done it this week in 220 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: the morning. Yesterday it was Green Bay Dallas. Today, I 221 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: forget who it was but when they do stuff like that. 222 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Maybe it was Kansas City, Tampa Bay, I forget who 223 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: it was. So when they do stuff like that, it 224 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: gets everybody hyped up about individual games, which normally wouldn't 225 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: happen because usually they dumped the schedule in your lap 226 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: at seven pm the day it comes out. And John, 227 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: you remember in the past, it was sort of like 228 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: it might be this week or that week, and then 229 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the day before, it's gonna be tomorrow, 230 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: and that's how it would go down. This is so 231 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: much better with all this build up in hype. Doing 232 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: it in April. They would announce it and then everybody, Okay, 233 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: who's gonna be the first pig, and it's right back 234 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: to the draft. Doing it now, having that little slack 235 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: period after the draft is brilliant, And everything the NFL 236 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: does when it comes to pr is brilliant, and that's 237 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: why it is the number one sport in the country 238 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: by far. General Bills Rams to kick it off on 239 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: a third Thursday night, and you think about the legal Man, 240 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: that's a pretty dark good kickoff game, Bills Rams Thursday night. 241 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: Your thoughts about those two kicking it off out and 242 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: so far. And how about the Bills playing on Thanksgiving 243 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,479 Speaker 1: back to back years allegedly did that get announced? Was 244 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: that that was on the sheet? That's actually been right 245 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: on a lot of things thus far. Oh yeah, Well 246 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: that didn't hurt them last season because the last we 247 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: saw the Bills they had one of the greatest endings 248 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: in the history of football at any level. When they 249 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: lost one of those games, you just wanted it to 250 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: go on and on the last time we saw the 251 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: Rams are winning the Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford. That 252 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: was on the field. I'm still blown away by what 253 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: the Rams did on during the draft at Mansion up 254 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: in the Hollywood Hills where they were all cool guys. No, 255 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: you couldn't wear socks if you wanted to get on 256 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: the premises and uh, and I think that is a 257 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: great way to do it. Buffalo, of course, of the 258 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: greatest the AFC is I can't see right now now, 259 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: including Kansas City to pick ahead of Buffalo for representing 260 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the AFC and the Super Bowl because they're loaded and 261 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: all these teams in the AFC and no, non't knock 262 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: on the NFC. The only thing I know about the 263 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: NFC is if the Bugs are not in the super Bowl. 264 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady will be part of the broadcast. It might 265 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: be anyway even if they are in. But the AFC, 266 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: if you if I do a show every week in 267 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: Las Vegas and they are so fired up out there 268 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: as they all are, and I told them, guys, don't 269 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: anybody in the AFC West shouldn't get your hops up 270 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: about having home field advantage. You're gonna beat each other 271 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: up during regular season. Somebody else is gonna beat up 272 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: on their division like the Titans did last year and 273 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: get home field advantage. But you know, everybody so fired 274 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: up about the game, especially now that they know when 275 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be played. But man, if you're an 276 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: AFC westman, that's gonna be just it's gonna be kind 277 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: of war. Well, plus they play the NFC West, there's 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: some there's some factor in there. I mean, they might 279 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: be better Seattle. I don't know how good they're gonna 280 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: be without Russell Wilson. Of course, Arizona you never know 281 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: because are they headed in the right direction. But still 282 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: with the Rams and forty nine ers, that's tough. How 283 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: about Denver in Seattle? Week one Monday Night football in 284 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: Seattle in Seattle. So John, this is like a Kingdom 285 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: matchup with Dave Craig versus John Elway or something. I mean, 286 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: this is old AFC West stuff, isn't it. I think 287 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Dave Craig was better than Drew Locke. You know, if 288 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: Drew Locke played every game he played has first started 289 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: in urg Stadium, he'd have been in the Pro Bowl 290 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: both years. But I still can't understand why Seattle loaded 291 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: at the skill positions, drafting two offensive tackles including Charles 292 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: Cross the first round, and have not made a deal 293 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: for Baker Mayfield. But that is gonna be a fun 294 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: game and it wouldn't surprise me at all. Seattle's style 295 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: with drafting Kenneth Walker the third go with Rashad Penny 296 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be to run it with Mike Vrabel, old 297 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: fashioned football, control the clock, and they'll try to keep 298 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: it out at Russell Wilson's hands. John. Most of the 299 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: team building for twenty twenty two, I say most, The 300 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: majority of it is pretty much over at this point. 301 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: Obviously they'll be cutdowns to fifty three and all that 302 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but free agency is always ongoing. But 303 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: the majority of it's done. The draft is over. Which 304 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: team do you think throughout the league are most people 305 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: sleeping on based on the offseason editions, maybe some deletions 306 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: and a draft that was added to I mean, obviously 307 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: people are really excited about what the Texans did on 308 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: the draft, and then a couple of really key free 309 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: agent signings, especially Jerry Hughes and Mary Addison and Rachine Green, 310 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: which they just did in the last week week and 311 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: a half. But which team do you think around the 312 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: league are people sleeping on the most. I'll give you two. 313 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: The Chargers, just they're in such a tough division and 314 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs last year thanks to the Texans, 315 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: and I think they have done a really good job 316 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: in the off season in free agency and the draft, 317 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: and in the NFC it's kind of weird. I think 318 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys because people are all talking about Philadelphia winning 319 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: that division and maybe the Eagles will, but I don't 320 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: think people are taking the Cowboys seriously enough. With Dan 321 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: Quinn back as the defensive coordinator, and he did a 322 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: terrific job. I think they've quietly made a lot of 323 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: good moves. So I would say the Cowboys and the Chargers. 324 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens to a degree. If Lamar stays healthy. 325 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: They played a lot of close games with Huntley at quarterback. 326 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: They played a lot of close games. They were right there, 327 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: could have, would have, should have that receiver. It is 328 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: very very interesting, and by interesting I mean thin. They 329 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: have rookies for days, but they're undrafted guys, so we'll see. 330 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: But I think the Ravens are a team to definitely 331 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: check out. I think the best edition was Lamar coming 332 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: back just being healthy. But if he's back healthy, I 333 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: think you're right, Mark, I think yeah. And I think 334 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: General's right too. I said earlier during our live stream, 335 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: I thought the Charger, I think the Charger can be 336 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: really they know how to run the ball. JK. Dobbins, 337 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, those are familiar names. They're back, Recard the 338 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: full back. I mean they're all back to run the 339 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: ball and smash mouth you to death and for their sake, 340 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 1: hopefully hit some plays. But we'll see. What do you think? General? 341 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: And they're still gonna finish the third in their division. 342 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: It is gonna be where everybody picking his Steelers in 343 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: last place. I wonder when's the last time the Steelers 344 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: were a consensus pick. For last place. Yeah, I think 345 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: everybody will. I'm gonna pick Cincinnati first, Cleveland second, Baltimore third, 346 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh glass and the top three could be in 347 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Don't you think that there's a chance that 348 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: the Bengals have a little come back to earth? Yes 349 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: about their seat and because look, I'm not going to 350 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: take anything away from a run to the super Bowl, 351 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 1: sign me up for that. You know, this was not 352 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: exactly blowout city in the playoffs. The Raiders had a 353 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: chance to beat them late. Then they go on the road, 354 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: they beat Tennessee, They go on the road, they beat 355 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They were down in that game. We know 356 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: what happened in the super Bowl. I mean, they could 357 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: have won the Super Bowl just as easily, but they 358 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: could have just as easily lost any of those playoff games. 359 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: Can't take away from the victory. But it's not like 360 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: they're dominating team general. And that's true, Mark, But keep 361 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: this in mind. Their biggest weakness with their offensive line. 362 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: They had a tremendous job of plugging the holes in 363 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: their offensive line. And they have so many talented receivers 364 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: led by Jamar Chase. They have two running bags led 365 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: by Joe Mix and they improved their defense. And key 366 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: to all of it is Joe Burrows great and he's 367 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: gonna be great for a long time. You know that division. 368 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: If Mr Jackson's back Jackson, Jodson and Burrow and Bige, 369 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: that's why those Steelers will be picked last. That's so 370 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: hard to believe that the Steelers being picked up. But 371 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: I think the reason that I believe that general about it. 372 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: You just you just hit it. I think there is 373 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of regression to me, and because a 374 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: since Nati's gotta play first play schedule, so that I 375 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: know it's two games, but it's two games against teams 376 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: that one division's last year, and Baltimore is better and 377 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland's got the Sean, I think since Nattie comes back 378 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: to the pack a little bit, I'm I'm with Bart. 379 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: I think Baltimore ends up winning that division if if 380 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: Lamar stays healthy. Now we'll see whether he does or not, 381 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: but I think that's I think that division is gonna 382 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: be a lot better than people think. I think the 383 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: FC West is gonna be really good, but I don't 384 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be as good as everybody says. I 385 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: think the AFC North is gonna be better than people think. 386 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: All right, what about this general? And I brought this 387 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: up with Johnny a couple of times this week where 388 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: you look at mock drafts for next year, and the 389 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: Texans are the consensus number one elector in the draft 390 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: next year by the pundits. So are they right? Are 391 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: they wrong? Will the Texans have the worst season out there? 392 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: I find that incredibly hard to believe. And they're playing 393 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: some other teams that would certainly be candidates for the 394 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: number one pick, like the Giants, perhaps the Jaguars. Again, 395 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Bears are gonna be good. 396 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: Let's see what Fields does. But what are your thoughts 397 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: on the subject? And what is a pundit anyway, tends 398 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: they know what they talk. They're talking about well, the 399 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: media and picked the Texans to have the worst record 400 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: this year. They won four games, they lost by three 401 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: of the Patriots lost by three of the Titans lost 402 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: by one score at Miami, and they were in des array, 403 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: and they had a rookie quarterback who wasn't ready to 404 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: play until late in the season. They had the worst 405 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: running game in franchise history. They're gonna be better this year. 406 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: They've still got the Jaguars. Titans are not special, the 407 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: Cults are not special. Now they havec West is special. 408 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: And but can they beat the Giants? I can they 409 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys, the Eagles, Washington. Yeah, they're capable of 410 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: winning some of those games. I think right now. Of course, 411 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: none of us have a clue, so much depends on injuries. 412 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: I could see them going from four to six wins, 413 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: and then in two thousand and twenty three, when these 414 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: draft choices are producing and we know who's the best, 415 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: and Caserio signs free agents next year when he has 416 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: cap money eleven more draft choices, I believe that they'll 417 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: be a wild card contender in two thousand twenty three. 418 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: And if indeed they have the first pick, they can 419 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: treat it to a team that wants one of the 420 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: top two quarterbacks if they like Mills, and then take 421 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: who's a great linebacker for the Alabama William will Anderson junior. 422 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior, who might be the most talented player 423 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: in the draft, even though quarterbacks go first and second, 424 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: and maybe the Texans could end up with him and 425 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: put him at defensive end. General I gotta say of 426 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: this comment. Question. I had the opportunity to go see 427 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: facing Nolan the other night, and my comment is you 428 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: were fantastic. Thank you. Question is how did you get involved? 429 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: How did Bradley Jackson, who directed it, how did you 430 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: get involved with that? And how cool was that process 431 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: to kind of sit down and talk about Nolan and 432 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: his and his career and in particular his time here 433 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: in Houston. I've had so many people ask me, while 434 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: you're a football guy, how do you make the Nolan 435 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: Ryan documentary? And the reason is read Ryan, who I've 436 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: gotten to know pretty well through the years. Reid knows 437 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: that I've been in Astro's fan since the first pitch 438 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: of the first game in nineteen sixty two, and I 439 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: seldom missing game if I if I'm doing something at night, 440 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: I tape it and I watch it and I read everything. 441 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: So I follow you Astros as closely as I can. 442 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: And so Reid asked me. He said, Bradley Jackson is 443 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: doing a documentary on my dad, and I suggested you 444 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: to him to interview. So I went over to the 445 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: Houstonian where Bradley was set up, and he told the 446 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: talk show this week that he spent three hours interviewing me, 447 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: and I didn't remember it being that long. I just 448 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: remember it being a lot of fun and I was 449 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: honored to be part of the process. And when we finished, 450 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: I told Bradley, I said, hey, you know, thank you, 451 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: this has been an incredible experience. If you don't use 452 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: anything I said, I don't, I don't blame you. He said, 453 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: we will be using some things you said, and he did, 454 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: and I'm so honored and appreciative of that. Yeah, the 455 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: crowd got a really really big laugh out of the 456 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: general giving some sign language to the camera about John McAllan, 457 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: because that's what we did when John McMullan refused to 458 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: bring back Nolan Ryan. You know, people think what a 459 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: bad trade it was with Hopkins letting Nolan Ryan get 460 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: away the owner because he just he just thought that 461 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: he could sign somebody else that had a better record. 462 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: Turned out to be a disaster, one of the worst 463 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: decisions in our cities history. But I hope people go 464 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: see this. It's going nationwide almost a thousand screens next week, 465 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: and I've seen it on email, and I'm going to 466 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: go into theaters and see it with Carol, because I 467 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 1: just you know, I'll walk around without my hat and 468 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, say hey, I was in there. No, I 469 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't do that, but I want to say it on 470 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: a big screen, and so I can't wait to do that. 471 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: It's going to be great. I'm happy for Read and 472 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: Bradley and Nolan general. One more question here. You mentioned 473 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: the city losing Nolan the Hopkins thing. You brought it up. 474 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, once upon a time was traded to the Saints, 475 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: where he reunited with Bum Phillips. How did the city 476 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: take that at the time when Earl was traded, Earl 477 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: was hurt. When they traded, he got hurt and training 478 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: camp and they were they were really bad. And we 479 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: knew for a year Bum was going to trade for him, 480 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: and when he did, Earl was injured and he never 481 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: did anything again. So I think people it wasn't like this, 482 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: like some bad, bad oiler trades. To me, the worst 483 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: thing they ever made was Kenny Houston to Washington, where 484 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: he went on to be the greatest strong safety in 485 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: the history in a first ballot Hall of Famer because 486 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: they made such a good move. Our city's made some 487 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: terrible deals, but man, the best one to me ever 488 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: was Bum Phillips trading to get the first pick in 489 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: the seventy eight draft to take the Tyler Rowe's first 490 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: overall change the franchise, no doubt. All right, well the 491 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: Texans draft in the books. Of course, it's rookie camp tomorrow. 492 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next General. Thanks so much for 493 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: your time. We look forward to seeing you, Mark, John, 494 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: Thank you guys very much. As always, John McLean joining 495 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: us on the Thursday program like he always does. Coming 496 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: up more schedule talk. There's a schedule tracker, schedule leaks 497 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: on Twitter. There was a fake schedule leak account.

Opening 518 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: weekend announcements have been made. Texans opening at home against 519 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: the Cults. Everybody got to announce their home opener. So 520 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: that meant whoever you're playing on the road in week two, 521 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: assuming it would be on the road, as long as 522 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: it was their home opener, you'd be able to announce it. 523 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: And it was the Denver Broncos, so Indian home, Denver 524 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: Broncos on the road, and a leak out of Chicago 525 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: that Week three will be at the Bears, that is 526 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: not confirmed, so that would be road road Denver Bears. Look, 527 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it, fingers crossed, that's true. Oh, because 528 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: you want September with those cold weather sites. Yeah, the 529 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: Bears in September, and I'll tell you what, that is 530 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: going to be a popular spot. Going to Chicago in 531 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: the fall, that'll be a popular spot for the traveling Texans. 532 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: I think the traveling Texans. Obviously you need to know 533 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: when the games are before you book a trip, but 534 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: also do I really want to go to Chicago in December? 535 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: Maybe not, but yah, September, I'll definitely go or Denver, 536 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: same kind of thing in all likelihood. If that's true Chicago, 537 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: that means Denver Chicago in September, two potential cold weather games. 538 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: Early you liked that a lot. Blake Jones was listening. 539 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: He was like, Blake, did you a solid I think 540 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: he's finally making up for some of the stuff he 541 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: did when you coached him in high school football, So 542 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: now he's really coming around to you. Another leak was 543 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland here December fourth, So that would be you presume 544 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: if there's gonna be a suspension, probably after the suspension, 545 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: and the General said that that would be the hottest 546 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: ticket in Texans history. I was told, Okay, do you 547 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: want to hear what I was told that the hottest 548 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: ticket in Texans history just pure financial hot right season 549 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: regular season financial temperature. When you look at secondary market 550 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: and we have all that information and all that data, 551 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: secondary market, food sales, everything was twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, 552 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: because two thousand and two might have been hotter twenty 553 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: nineteen Cowboys. I didn't need to say, I say it was. Yeah, 554 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: it was the Cowboys. Yeah, as well as the Cowboys 555 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Cowboys. My bad Sunday night football. You know, 556 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: I know this, uh Sunday night football overtime game, huge 557 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: outing and absolute secondary market lava hot demand. Now, two 558 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: thousand and two probably had lava hot demand on the 559 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: secondary market, but it wasn't online then it was, or 560 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: maybe some of it was, but you know what I mean, 561 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: they didn't track the data the same way. I got 562 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: to thinking about this two things. Last year when the 563 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: Niners played the Rams those games, it felt like there 564 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: was a little something different. And maybe it was because 565 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: at so far at the end of the year they 566 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: played the last game of the year, and so fun 567 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: that they played the championship game so far, and of 568 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: course there was all this about the forty nine Ers 569 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: fans getting tickets and the Rams weren't going to sell 570 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: them to anybody that didn't have a LA address and 571 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and maybe the environment is 572 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: what brought it out on the championship games. The championship game, 573 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: but that last game it mattered for both teams obviously, 574 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers had this big comeback to 575 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: win and get in the playoffs. But it get me 576 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: thinking about the game against the Cowboys because earlier today 577 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Sudge and I were looking back at some of the 578 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: pregame speeches that players have given, because Sudge when players 579 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: give a pregame speech, Sudge is like right there with 580 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: his camp, Oh the breakdown on the field. He found. 581 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: We were kind of thinking about some of the guys 582 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: that have given him over the years, and he's like, 583 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, JJ was really good. He goes, you know 584 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: who's really good? It was only year for a year 585 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: was Tyrant. And so he was pulling down different speeches 586 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: and Tyrant had given and in the one he pulled down, 587 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: the one that he gave for that game against the Cowboys, 588 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: and he says in that thing something to the extent 589 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: of let's show him who owns Texas, And I just 590 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,239 Speaker 1: wonder in a game like that, even though now the 591 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: Texas do have more guys from the city of Houston, 592 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: so it may matter to Janea. Petrie and Kenny and 593 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: Green and some of the youngest. Maybe it doesn't, but 594 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: I wonder, And maybe it's just because the environment gets 595 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: showered down upon them. But that game it felt different. 596 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: It The hitting was more intense every single play. It 597 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: just felt like it was more intense than any other game. 598 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: It was crazy that game. It was a crazy atmosphere. 599 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: It was wild. It was not a high scoring game, 600 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,239 Speaker 1: but nineteen it was sixteen thirteen, you know. And then 601 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: of course the Cowboys got an opportunity right there at 602 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: the end. It kicked the field going tie it. But yeah, 603 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: it was low scoring. Mark, It's the hardest hitting game 604 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, hardest hitting I've ever seen. I was 605 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: hearing hits through my head phones and I will never 606 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: forget the Seawan trying to go for the goal line 607 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: right in front of me and freaking vander Esh and 608 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith hitting him in the rib cage at the 609 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: same time, just bang, well, like what is going on? 610 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: Take it to Dallas. Then four years earlier, twenty fourteen, 611 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: when you had to see a battle ready, when you 612 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: had an overtime game, the hitting, the atmosphere, just the 613 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: vibe in the stadium was incredible. I'd never seen a 614 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: game like that before in the NFL. And to lose 615 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: that one, We've mentioned this before, that was as painful 616 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: a regular season loss without you getting knocked out of 617 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: something that you can possibly have. You weren't knocked out 618 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: at the time, but it really hurt a lot to 619 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: lose to those guys because you know you don't have 620 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: a shot at them for another four years. Now at 621 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: the seventeen game schedule, you might have that offset. You 622 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: know they're the team you're gonna face blah blah blah 623 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: every couple of years because you're gonna play an NFC 624 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: East team, but you know you're not a sure thing 625 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: to play that. We've always played the Cowboys earlier in 626 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: the season, right this this is gonna be interesting to see, yeah, 627 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: and where you knows it follow the same trend and 628 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: we five or six against the Cowboys, which is always 629 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: kind of interesting because both teams at that point are 630 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: still you know, kind of in it. Now in twenty eighteen, 631 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: we were coming off and all three start. We had 632 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: just beaten the Colts and one in three, but yeah, 633 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: you could feel like okay as the players in the 634 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: locker room. I remember that day against the Colts. I 635 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: remember being in locker room listening to the guys and 636 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: they were like, we remember Ryan Griffin in particularly, Hey, 637 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: we just needed one, We just needed one to get started. 638 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: We got under a belt and now we go. But 639 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: even at one in three, stuff are like, okay, they're 640 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: they're not They're not out of this. So I'm kind 641 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: of hoping for an early season Dallas game because the 642 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: intensity will obviously be there. Maybe it's Thanksgiving. I don't know. 643 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: Have all the Thanksgiving game has been announced? I don't know. 644 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: I think they have. And remember Dallas has an NFC 645 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: team in there, that's right. They got a Fox game 646 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: and there for Thanksgiving. So that's gonna change it. And 647 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: Brady won't be working it because he's still playing football. 648 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: About when he's done, he's gonna make a ton of money. 649 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: So during a bye week, is he gonna like step 650 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: into the booth? Now? PFT actually had a story what's 651 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: gonna happen if they don't make the Super Bowl because 652 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: Fox has the Super Bowl this year. Would he jump 653 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: into the booth? That's not fair, but maybe he'd have 654 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: a role. It's just very weird to give him that 655 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: gig without any kind of planning. But this is what 656 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: they do now, this is what they do. You know, 657 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: the Madden when the Madden documentary came out on Christmas Day, 658 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: which was phenomenal timing. Yeah, because unfortunately he passed away 659 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: a few weeks later. But I just remember watching that 660 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: and Madden had actually done games in the eighty one season, 661 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: but he told CBS that he wanted time to be 662 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: able to prepare for the Super Bowl, so he didn't 663 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: call the NFC Championship game. And I don't think he 664 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: called a playoff game. I think he had. He had, 665 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: like I don't say, I don't want to say weeks 666 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: off because he wasn't off. He was actually studying so 667 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: that he could get ready for the Super Bowl, which 668 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: ended up being the forty nine Ers and the Bengals, 669 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: And he did that with Pat Summer. But he had 670 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: weeks off and then went and did the Super Bowl. 671 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: And of course, you know its career, its kind of 672 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: took off from there, so I thought it was interesting. 673 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: But he'll have a role. I would imagine they'll find something. 674 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: They're paying him a lot of money. I don't think 675 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna allow him to be Hey, here's our new 676 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: announcer Tom, and he's just sitting in the stands. I 677 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: don't think I don't think that's happening. What do you 678 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: think of this week two double header on Monday night football? 679 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 1: But it's a staggered start where you have the Titans 680 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: and the Bills kicking off and then an hour and 681 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later. I think it's a six fifteen kick 682 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: than a seven thirty kicks central between the Vikings and 683 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: I forget who they're playing, but it's weird to have 684 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: two games going on Monday Night. Now. They've done the 685 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: double header before, but it's a true double header. It's 686 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: one then the other. Now it's two different networks ESPN 687 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: and ABC, both owned by Disney. What do you think 688 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: of that? I don't mind it. I don't mind it 689 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: at all because my OCD gets the best of me. 690 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,399 Speaker 1: Because I'm watching a game. I very rarely Mark now 691 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: like to watch a live game. You like to let 692 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: it cat shot, right, So you can do the commercial. 693 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: This is how I watch Advertisers hate you. This is 694 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: exactly yeah, but guess what now. I'll let you continue 695 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: in a minute here. But the league and the networks 696 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: know that if you're watching your favorite team, you're not 697 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: doing that. No way, you're on the second screen. I 698 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: can't deal with it. I can't take it. I gotta 699 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: watch it live. But I don't have to worry about it, 700 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: because if it's a game you don't really care about 701 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: as much, you're able to do that. Any live NFL game, 702 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: I'm doing that obviously if the Texas aren't mean we're 703 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: working a game, so that's not it's a nine pause, yeah, pause, 704 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 1: pause the game. This is how I watch college football. 705 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: I have set my streaming service to record every college 706 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: football game that comes on, and so they all start 707 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, and I pick one to watch, 708 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: and I watched that up until the first commercial, and 709 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: then I'll go to the next one, and I rewind 710 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: at the beginning, I go to the next game, next game, oh, 711 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: and then go back to the tea. That's how I 712 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: end up watching. So in the eleven o'clock window, I 713 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: end up watching like four or five full games. I 714 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: do that with old movies on networks that are just 715 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: running them so they can clear tons of commercials. Yes, 716 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: and I'm embarrassed to say that, but I do that 717 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: all right. Coming up more on the schedule. What's leaking. 718 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: We'll get you ready, Hey, go to Houston Texans dot 719 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: com or the Texans App at seven pm tonight.

And the schedule leak stuff has 736 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: just been hilarious. And it was said to me, you know, 737 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,959 Speaker 1: maybe the league kind of enjoys this part of it, right, hey, yeah, 738 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: because people are talking, they're releasing little tidbits out at 739 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: a time, you know, one at a time, these international games, 740 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: some of the prime time stuff, and then you get 741 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: some leaks and is it right or is it not? 742 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: But people debated. There's schedule tracker online, there's schedule leak, 743 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: you know, people starting new Twitter accounts to league schedule information. 744 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: And the guy came up with ten thousand just putting 745 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: out random games. I almost tweeted to him like, Nope, 746 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's right. I don't think that's right. 747 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I just was like, you, he 748 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: can't be right about this, you can't.

I'm guessing about that, 751 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: aren't And he's guessing, and he's he's totally guess putting 752 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: it out. That's funny, and that's really sad that people 753 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: follow that, But yeah, what are you gonna do. No 754 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,439 Speaker 1: blue check mark on that guy, No blue check mark 755 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: rookie campus tomorrow.

So Lovey Smith on Texans All Access tomorrow. 758 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: I want to tune him for that to hear what 759 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: he has to say about the rookies, the schedule, all 760 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: of it, all right, some other stuff here, and don't 761 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: forget you can buy single game, single game tickets in 762 00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: ten minutes, single game tickets, so not necessarily the season, 763 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: although that would be the right move, yes, but you 764 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: can also get single game tickets tonight. Normally we would 765 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: do that later, but Greg Rissom talked about at the 766 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: president of the team, although ticket people got together, they said, 767 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: you know what, let's just do this. Let's do this. 768 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: People want to have fun, they want to select what 769 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: they want to do. Let's go for it. And then 770 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: you know, you can buy tickets or try to to 771 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: road games too if you want. But NRG Stadium is 772 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: going to be cooking Indianapolis to start the season. Back 773 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: to back times the Texans have played the Colts to 774 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: begin the season twenty twenty eleven. Both were victories. One 775 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: was against Peyton Manning. Arian Foster runs for over two 776 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: thirty goes nuts Manning throws for four hundred plus yards 777 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: in that game. Texans prevail. They had a seventeen point 778 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: lead in that game, which was also the same number 779 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: they led the rosen coopter game buy and also the 780 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: following year two thousand and nine, that's when we never 781 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 1: talked about. But they were up seventeen on the Colts 782 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: here in two thousand and nine and lost that one too. Yet, 783 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: all right, to remind everybody about that. But twenty ten 784 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: was awesome. Twenty eleven was awesome. Opening the season against India. 785 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: This is the first time you've done that since then. 786 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we talk so much about the schedule. We 787 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: get preseason games, two preseason games. You get two preseason games, 788 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: one on the road. We'll find out what they what 789 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: they do with those. The other thing, and we mentioned 790 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: the league's coming out Cleveland December fourth. We'll see if 791 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: that's true. You were talking about this during the break, 792 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson going back to Seattle, his reception there versus 793 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: what a certain former quarterback would get here. Listen, that's 794 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a love affair up there. I mean, all 795 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,640 Speaker 1: the years they've had good things. They went to two 796 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: super Bowls, he won one of them. Come on, that's 797 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: a love fest here. But he asked so much, But 798 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,479 Speaker 1: he asked the lead. Yeah, but it was I think 799 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 1: after fairly long stay there and a lot of productivity 800 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,959 Speaker 1: and it's on the way down, I think that that 801 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: is a lot more understandable and acceptable to the fan 802 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: base than what has happened here. Shall we say so? 803 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: I think here it's not gonna be as good, and 804 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: by not as good, I mean it's gonna be loud, rowdy, crazy. 805 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: The fans will really the Texans could be over whatever 806 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: when that game occurs, and it's gonna be crazy in 807 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: this building. Do you agree with the general that it 808 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: will be the hottest ticket? Now, we talked about twenty 809 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: eighteen Dallas. Well, we talked about twenty eighteen Dallas because 810 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: that was the hottest ticket in terms of financial and 811 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: all that. Now, as far as the buzz around the 812 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: league and whatever, Look, that was a Sunday night football game. 813 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: We forget some of these games, Johnny, over the years, 814 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: you forget some big games this team has played from 815 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: time to time because look, you move on it, selective memory, whatever, 816 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: we live in the moment. Great, that's what sports. It's 817 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: so beautiful about sports and this league that the schedule 818 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: coming out is this big a deal. This is like 819 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: the nc DOUAA tournament every Sunday on steroids, like careers 820 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: hanging the balance, and it's all just when. But it's 821 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: when is important? I know, I know it's I know 822 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: it's very important. Is Junior leaving the house for good? 823 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: Well that's a different kind of win. I mean, I 824 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: think in football it matters so much more because whether 825 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: you're inside you're outside. Where am I going to travel to? Right? 826 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: What about the holidays? Thursday night? And is a Monday 827 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 1: night game?
