But the last three weeks have 81 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: been incredible. Um, the amount of publicity and things that 82 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: have been going on on the last couple of weeks 83 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: from this flag football game and tournament have been crazy. 84 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: You know, something that I never dreamed about that you know, 85 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: I'll be getting called again again from Sports Illustrated talking 86 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: about flag football, you know. And so it's been fun. 87 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: It's been rejuvenating. Uh, you know, it's been a credible ride, 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: just being able to get back into the swing of 89 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: football without having to deal with the politics or coaches 90 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: or meetings or lifting. Everything is just on your own. 91 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: It's the fun part of foot That was always the 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: best part of a practice was when you get to 93 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: go through you know, you warm up, you do individual, 94 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: you do team, you do blitz. But then the fun 95 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: part was when you get to seven. Yeah, because that's 96 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: what you guys, you know, that's what we got paid 97 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: to do. We didn't get paid to hand the ball off. 98 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: We got paid to throw the ball down the field 99 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: in crucial situations of games and make those those uh 100 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: those throws all the time. And so coming on seven 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: was when I just you know, can have fun and 102 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: bet me I want to bring in JJ Moses because 103 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: you two have an interesting friendship connection and I want JJ, 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: I want you to explain how you know Seneca Man. Well, 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: of course, Seneca and I we played ball at Iowa 106 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: State University and it was my senior year. Seneca was 107 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: just being recruited by Iowa State and Seneca was coming 108 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: out of a junior college and Seneca was that type 109 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: of quarterback that was creating this such a natural buzz 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: around the campus. So once we completed our season that 111 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: I would say two thousand, we went nine to three 112 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: and we had a pretty good solid team. Seneca came 113 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: on to the scene, and from day one I had 114 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: an opportunity to kind of connect with Seneca and we 115 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: just began to having such a cool, cool relationship and 116 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I would kind of follow Seneca 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: in his career when he was in college and when 118 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: I got to the Kansa City Chiefs, and every week 119 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: almost deep I would hear stories, Man, this guy number fifteen, quarterback, 120 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: junior college transfer is just making trem in this noise 121 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: at Iowa State University. And so of course I would 122 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: go back there from time to time when I was 123 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, my first year with Kansas City, and we 124 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: would keep in contact and and I believe Seneca stayed 125 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: at the same apartment complex, right Seneca, so we had 126 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: the same roommates. I had a roommated by the name 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: of Mike Banks and so and sim was Seneca's great friends. 128 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: So when I got picked up by the Chiefs, Seneca 129 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: came in and st Yeah, that's right. So I went 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: right in. Our roommate was Mike Banks. And I keep 131 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: telling him this that Mike Banks was an avid hunter. 132 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: So he would hunt all the time. Every weekend there 133 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: was deer meat all in the Freedom. I was like, 134 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: that's real. That's when up the exactly. I opened it 135 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: up and I see all these wrapped you know, you know, 136 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: I got dear Meet, dear Jerkey, and dear everything in there. 137 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: So you know, that was so it was cool to 138 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: see him and Mike Banks kind of you know, they 139 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: just kind of continue to just turn that program around. 140 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: In long storage, Seneca had some big time games and 141 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: one game in particular that I really remember. Of course, 142 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: he's known by this run that he did against Texas 143 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: Take the Run, and that's what it was. That was 144 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: the first time I ever remember DP where a player 145 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: actually was able. They named a run after a player 146 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: in our program history, So he was one of the 147 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: first guys to really have that type of play. And 148 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: if there's listeners out there, please google up the run. 149 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely exactly what this run looked like. It was one 150 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: of the most electrifying plays and I would say history 151 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: probably one of the best, in my opinion, one of 152 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: the best in college history. And the crazy thing is 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: then he comes back. I think it was the next 154 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: following year, Seneca, you played against Florida State, and Florida 155 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: State at that time was a nationally ranked team. I 156 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: don't know what number three at the number three, And 157 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Seneca really beat that team. 158 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: They said that you dove into the end zone but 159 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: he was out, but in reality, he was really in 160 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: and if you see the replay. So I'll watch Seneca 161 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: DP throughout the course of his career, and then of 162 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: course with him getting drafted with the Seattle Seahawks, it 163 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: was no surprise, but just the type of person I 164 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: watched him and his you know wife, and I remember 165 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: when they first kind of started talking. So I just 166 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: see the history of how he's just really just transformed 167 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: as a person. And it's no surprise that Seneca today 168 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: is still having success. And I'll let him talk about that, 169 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: but I'm just so honored that he's here with us today. Yeah. Absolutely, 170 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: you know what with this whole flag football semifinals and 171 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: finals going on, JJ I've seen him a few times 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: and he said, watch my guys, Seneca, and your highlights, oh, 173 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,599 Speaker 1: your highlights are. There was one game, I think it 174 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: was the semifinals, six touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and the 175 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: announcers even mentioned that this is what you were known for. 176 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: It I alway, stay right, and I love that you're 177 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: miked up because I think it was that particular touchdown 178 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: where he said, I'm thirty seven and I still got it. 179 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: You made sure that everybody knew you were thirty seven 180 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: year years old exactly. I'm the old it's on our team, 181 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: and so are you. Okay, yeah, yeah, So I think 182 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: the next oldest is around thirty five. It might be 183 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Jason Avant. But you know, it's fun. I mean, it's 184 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: something that this is what I do. This is when 185 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: I flourishes. When you know, we got to seven on 186 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: seven and to me seven on seven and it's the 187 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: way this style of game is. It suits me, you know, 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: because you're you got to be able to move, and 189 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: that's when the challenge for the last couple of teams 190 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: that we faced with Dennis Dixon, Gerard Johnson, Jimmy Clauson 191 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: and Todd's boyd. Neither one of those individuals minus Dennis 192 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: Dixon actually moved around. And you can't stay in one 193 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: spot because you don't have blockers right, you have people 194 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: actually rushing right at you. So you have to be 195 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: able to move a little bit. And also you have 196 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: to have the football IQ to understand when they get 197 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: the ball out they do blitz. So you got to 198 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: have a game plan and you gotta stay focused with it. 199 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's just it's fun football. 200 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about getting hit and have 201 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: to pick itself up off the ground. That's true. That's 202 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: a good point. You mentioned that Sports Illustrated that called you, 203 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: So how did that go down? You're just what were 204 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: you doing when they called you and said, hey, we've 205 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: got this idea for a flag football league? What do 206 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: you think? Well, I mean, the AFFL has been around 207 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: a long time and so they've been doing a great job, 208 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: and they actually got us all together. I guess they 209 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: ran about eight months ago. They ran a like a 210 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: promo game just to see how it would turn out. 211 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: TiO played in and they got all the big names. 212 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: They got the big names and big they've been around, 213 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: they just hadn't had professional This is the first time 214 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: they decided to do it. And so um, I think 215 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: the big spinoff was they're gonna have all the joes play. 216 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: So the joes are just random guys around the country 217 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: that have been playing in flag football leagues for the 218 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: last ten fifteen plus years, like Hill but that fast 219 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: what they call it. But you know, and these guys, 220 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: they know the intricacies of playing flag football, and so 221 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: they were going to play in a tournament and the 222 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: pull themselves and I think it started with one hundred 223 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: and sixty teams. They've been playing since March. So these 224 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: teams would play together and they would play each other 225 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: each weekend. So they would fly to different cities and play. 226 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: And now it came all the way down to fighting cancer, 227 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: fighting cancer and I the Godspeed would play against each 228 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: other in a championship game were a million dollars. So 229 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: up until this two weeks ago they were playing for free, 230 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: and then when they get to to money pool, which 231 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: was two weeks ago when we started playing, when we 232 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: started with Nate Robinson team, that's when the money started 233 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: coming in for them. And so oh, I see the 234 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: highlights on social media before I can even turn on 235 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: the TV. And that makes me turn on the TV. 236 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: And that's when I knew that the game's braun. JJ 237 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: Moses and I were talking about this. Actually, so many 238 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: of the Texans players want to go to the game 239 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: because it's here in Houston. They either know somebody former 240 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: teammate either on either side that's playing. And one of 241 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 1: the players that's going to be out there before the 242 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: game is Deshaun Watson. So I've got to ask you, 243 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: because there are a lot of similarities in your old 244 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: style of play, what have you thought about him so far? 245 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: Seven game? A heck of a player. I mean, until 246 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: he got his injury, I mean, he was playing lights 247 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: out football. And I think that's been a direction of 248 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: the National Football League and these quarterbacks that are coming 249 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: out of college now because the game is evolving and 250 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: it's changing where it used to be, where teams wanted 251 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: to transform their quarterback into what they did. So when 252 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: I got to Seattle, I had to do what Seattle 253 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: Seahawks did the West Coast system, So you have to 254 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: learn what we do. Now they're taking the skill set 255 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: of those college players and saying, hey, we're gonna take 256 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: your skill set and adapt our offense to what you 257 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: do best. That's what's your skill set. And so with 258 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, that's what you're seeing, you know. He they 259 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: ran that spread system to a t down there with 260 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: Dabbo down there in Clemson, and so they're transitioning, Hey, 261 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: we need to do what we this man does best, 262 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: and if it's a spread system, let's do it. And 263 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: that's the reason why these coaches get paid the amount 264 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: of money they do. They have to be able to 265 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: adapt and change and evolve. And I think that's the 266 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: way the National Football League has been going over the 267 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: last few years. It's been a lot of fun to 268 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: watch you resurrect your career and love the chapter that 269 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: you're rewriting for yourself here and hopefully it ends with 270 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: a championship night in Houston tomorrow night, twenty eighteen. American 271 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Flag Football League Ultimate Final, the AFL first ever national 272 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: Football Tournament at seven pm BBVA Compass Stadium.

And it's only a couple 293 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: of weeks this year. It's just gonna be strange to 294 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: be there. It'll be good, though, it's just gonna be 295 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: strange to be there. Only a couple of weeks before 296 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: we ventured in Kansas City for a Thursday night opener 297 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: as opposed to last year's Wednesday night opener. We got 298 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: we got the Wednesday night openers down. Now it's Thursday night, 299 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: which it's kind of nice because then you get the weekend. 300 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: There'll be practice. It'll still be training camp because in 301 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: the following week San Francisco forty nine ers will come. Yeah, 302 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: a couple of practices with them. It should be kind 303 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: of nice. So you'll get out of and it's funny. 304 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Yesterday I was I was driving somewhere with my son 305 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: Jack and we heard the weather report. So I looked 306 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: at my phone what the weather was supposed to be 307 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: for the next few days, and it's triple digits in Houston. Yeah, 308 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: it's triple digits and it's been trible. It's just almost 309 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: who have look at West Virginia? So I looked at 310 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: West Virginia. Well, was it. So I went to look 311 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: at Louisburg and the high is eighty one. Okay, all right, 312 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: So that eighty one, that's actually pretty high, pretty high 313 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: for that for them. But what about the African dust? 314 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: Is it affecting them? Because in Dallas, I was wondering 315 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: if it got into West Virginia or something, wouldn't I 316 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: don't want African dust in West Virginia white sulfur springs 317 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: mess it up my weather. I don't think that's gonna happen, 318 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: right because the day that we do that, all access 319 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: show that Wednesday, the highs eighty one. The next day 320 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the highest seventy seven, but the lowest fifty nine. Nice, 321 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: all right, give me fifty nine all day long. I'm good. 322 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm good because I think our low in Houston is 323 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: going to be the high in West Virginia. So enough 324 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: about the temperature we have. Definitely then have our fill 325 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: of some nice weather hopefully while we're up there, and 326 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: hopefully no rain. But yeah, it'll be weird for two weeks. 327 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody's concerned about us and our nice weather, 328 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: but I am concerned about this. Your answers to these questions, 329 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: I've got something for you. You've been furiously writing over 330 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: the suriously. This is called other than. Okay, this is 331 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: a thing called other than. And I've got I've got 332 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: several questions for you that are other than questions. You know, 333 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: for instance, if you couldn't have the mashed potatoes, you know, 334 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: other than the masked potatoes, it's your side dish. Would 335 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: you pick this? That's just a sample question. Don't answer 336 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: that question here and but there. Every other question is 337 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: a football questions, I think. So. All right, it's third 338 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: and six against the Patriots late in the game. You 339 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: need the first how to convert you can throw to 340 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: anybody other than DeAndre Hopkins. Where are you going with 341 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: the football? What are you gonna do? Well, we've had 342 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: most luck thrown at foremant to be honest with you, 343 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: I'd love We just don't know right now about Yante 344 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: whether he's gonna be ready to go week one. I 345 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: hope he is. It's third and six now, it's not 346 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: like third and one where you can you know, it's 347 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: an obvious like, all right, I can fake the ron 348 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: and do this. What do you gott this? Ryan Griffin? 349 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: You're gonna go Ryan Griffins. Ryan Griffin because a couple 350 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: of reasons. Number one, the page Riots have had a 351 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: hard time covering Ryan Griffin the last couple of years. 352 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: Remember in a crappy Thursday night game. Yeah, he catches 353 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: in that twenty sixteen game. In the playoff game, CJ 354 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: got a few more catches. But then in the game 355 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: last fall he Ryan had a great drive, had a 356 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: really nice ball game. And I just think Griffin with 357 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: the matchups that you're gonna have on third down, I 358 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: think Ryan's gonna get a matchup that they like. And 359 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: he's already proven that he can beat Devin mccordy one 360 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: on one of coverage. That's why he got the touchdown. 361 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna put a linebacker on him, I would think, 362 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: or they're gonna end up with Patrick Chung on him, 363 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: and I think he can beat Chung as well. Right, 364 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: So I think Ryan Griffin ends up being my guy 365 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: in third and six. I like it. I would love 366 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: to say kik qt got to see that materialist. I 367 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: just think Ryan would end up being the most reliable 368 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: third time. Right, we'll see if that changes all right. 369 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: Other than questions best James Bond other than Sean Connery, 370 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: who is it? Oh? I see. To me, there's no 371 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: better one than Sean. Right, But that's why I said, 372 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: that's why these are other than questions. They make it 373 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: the facult, just like I took DeAndre Hopkins, who's the 374 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: Sean Connery of the Texans receiving core Roger Moore to me, 375 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: is because the newest ones Jason Stadium. No, he's not 376 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: James Bond. Oh my gosh, you're awful. This is just Bonds. 377 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: I know, Daniel Craig Pierce. No Jason State, though he 378 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: should play James Bond. Okay, all right, those movies little 379 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: go I go old school with Bond. All you have 380 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: one drive to win a football game, and you get 381 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: to pick any quarterback other than these are other than questions, 382 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: other than Tom Brady, Drew Brees, DeShawn Watson, Aaron Rodgers, 383 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, or Carson Wentz. Any quarterback other than those guys, Brady, Brees, Watson, Rogers, Wilson, Wentz. 384 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: I gotta pick one. You gotta pick one. Yeah, Okay, um, 385 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: you know it does. Matt Ryan is one that would 386 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: stand out. Uh, you know, Matt Staff is really good 387 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: at Dinny games. Really, if it's close, Matt Stafford's got 388 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: an opportunity. But if you give me his weapons, his 389 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: offensive line, and his running back a late game drive, 390 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: I'll take Jared Goff all day long. Okay, Jared Goff, 391 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: I think I think Golf to me is taking now. 392 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of help. Trendy pick of no 393 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: case came to Stefan Diggs, kind of thing. I love case. 394 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: I just don't know in Denver that they'll be able 395 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: to recreate it as much. But I'll take golf. The 396 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: ball in his hands at didn of the game, Matt 397 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: Ryan is probably the best choice, But I think Golf. 398 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: If you give me all this, if he's got all 399 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: his weapons, and he's right his offense, which he's been magnificent, 400 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: and I'll take golf, all right. So other than Brady Breeze, Watson, Rogers, Wilson, 401 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: and Wentz, you're gonna take Jared Goff all right. You're 402 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: playing a football game in near the Houston, Texans, and 403 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: you have to have a starting tight end, okay, if 404 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: to line up with one, So you're starting tight end 405 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: other than Ryan Griffin. Other than Ryan Griffin, who are 406 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: you lining up with? And if you line up with Anderson, 407 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: you could pick him, but it's pretty obvious you're not 408 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: going to pound the rock here. So who you're picking 409 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: is Aikin's ready for that? Is Thomas? Is it one 410 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: of the other guys that we talk about who are 411 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: sort of trying to make this team and do their 412 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: thing as long shots, dark horses, however you want to 413 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: label them. I don't know if this is recency biased, 414 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: but I was watching Ole Miss in Mississippi State today 415 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: from last year the Egg Bowl, just studying a few 416 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: of the prospects on their side and going back and 417 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: watching Martin's ranking, which is kind of nice because he 418 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: got matched up on briland Speaks, who he I would 419 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: imagine if Rankin's ready to go in a week one 420 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: of the preseason, he'll see brilan Speaks again. He's with 421 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The Chiefs love briland Speaks. Ended up trading 422 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: up for him in the second round ranking got matched 423 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: up on him a bunch in that game and did 424 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: a really nice job on him. But in that game, 425 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: I saw Jordan Thomas making catch and it got me 426 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: thinking about what he could do. And he's running wide 427 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: receiver routes and it just got me thinking about what 428 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: that guy could do in the not only not only 429 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: in the future, but in the near future, what he 430 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: can do for this squad. I would say Jordan Tom 431 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: I think at two hundred and seventy pounds, in the 432 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: way that he can run, he creates a huge matchup 433 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: issue and he can run, so I think that could 434 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: end up being an issue review. So I'm gonna say 435 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: other than Ryan Griffin, I'm gonna Enfay and George Thompsons 436 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: because I think he gives me the best opportunity to run, 437 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: run blocking, pass catching tight end. Okay, we know and Stevens. 438 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: Steven knows this. I mean Stephen is used in run 439 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: blocking capacity, but not in the way I think you 440 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: could use these. Can't wait to get to practice and 441 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: watch all this stuff on fold eight million tight ends. 442 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. Okay, more other than questions best 443 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: football movie, other than Remember the Titans, Rudy or Brian's song, 444 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: oh Ary Blues. Okay, that was a quick answer. Yeah, 445 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: Varsity Blues is right off. I mean that's just boom. 446 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: If I don't hear Varsity Blues right away, then that's 447 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the one. And I know there's some 448 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: facetious stuff in there, of course, but it's it's fantastic. 449 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: It's a Texas high school football player who wants to 450 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: go to Brown. Yeah, I know, that's that's your moment. 451 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: It's like, that's your move right on my alley. I 452 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: mean it's perfect, that's perfect. What were the three year 453 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: Outlaw Ye Outloud? Remember the Titans Rudy and Brian's song, 454 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: which are very popular picks as best all time football movie. 455 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: But Varsity Blues. I would probably put Varsity Blues in 456 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: front of some some of those. The one that I 457 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: will not and Drew and I have talked about this 458 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Friday at Lights. The movie never would never make, not 459 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: even make my top ten football because it's not historically accurate. 460 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: It's not okay, it's not very hollywoody over the top, 461 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: all right. More other than questions, best thing to order 462 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: at a steakhouse other than Steak Prime forty seven in Indianapolis, 463 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: the lobster mac and the bacon and stratcha mac. That 464 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: is our side to get. It's so you could you 465 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: could use that as the entree and be happy. I 466 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: would be totally fine. Okay, that ball comes around to 467 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: me and there is a smile on my face when 468 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: we're all sitting there having dinner, and I mean they 469 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: bring my stakes, like, oh great, thank you. Where the sides? 470 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: Where the sides? That's good When a steakhouse, you know, pappas, 471 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: they do a great job. They'll fristco, they do a 472 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: great job. But the sides to me at steakhouses are 473 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: almost better than the steaks themselves. And I know that 474 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: might be blasphemous, but they got cheese. They gotta be 475 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: good capital girls mac and cheese too, because a lot 476 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: of a lot of places could do steak. Well, yes, 477 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to do the other stuff. Well, yes, 478 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: all right, I like that answer. Okay, best road game 479 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: this year other than anything in the division the Patriots 480 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: of the Eagles. So you have to eliminate those five. 481 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: You have three left to choose from. I'm looking forward 482 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: to the Washington Washington one more than any of them 483 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: because that's one. That's that's the stadium I've never been to, 484 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: and I have been to DC in so long. The 485 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: last time I was in the last time I was 486 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: in DC, we were taking uh like a cruise ship boat. 487 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: I was actually doing my master's program and they took 488 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: our Master's program group out on a boat to DC 489 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: so we could see from the water all the various 490 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: monuments and everything was really really cool. Is the last 491 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: time I've been in DC. But I have not been 492 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: to FedEx Field, And I know you said you don't 493 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: like haul games from there, but it's one of the 494 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: stadiums I've not been too, So I love going to 495 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna be working hard that day because i can't 496 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: see the field. So I'm looking forward to just because 497 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: it's I've not been to Philly, I've not been to Washington, 498 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to those two not perspect you know, 499 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: it's funny people ask me that about road games. I'm 500 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: sure you get this. Three of the most fun trips 501 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: to me are the division games. And I think that 502 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: going into this, like, you know, I've been to Jacksonville 503 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: a ton of times and Nashville, Okay, Indianapolis, like these 504 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: are the smallest town those are those are the most 505 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: fun trips. I love going to India, love going to Nashville, 506 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: love going to Jacksonville. Those are the most fun trips. 507 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Those are huge games. They're always big because they're division games, 508 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: but man, how big are they this year? Very much so, 509 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: even even more so. But just being in Nashville, I'd 510 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: like for one of those to be a night games 511 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: so we could spend I mean, we spent more time 512 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: in India because of the combine, but I mean I've 513 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: been playing a time in Jacksonville, but having a data 514 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: kind of roam around Nashville before a night game, that 515 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: would be kind of nice. Well, in the division this year, 516 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: you have Tennessee at night and you've had the Yeah 517 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: at home, you've had the cults at night in the past, 518 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right, nothing on the road at night. 519 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: You've had Jacksonville in the past on a Thursday up 520 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: there or down there across there, and you've had the 521 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: cults of course Monday night football there to Thursday night 522 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: came there. All right, let's do this. Now, pick your 523 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: AFC East winner other than the Patriots. Who's got the 524 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: best shot other than the Patriots? This is really good? Well, 525 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: I mean, how miserable the Bills went to the playoffs 526 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: last year. Two years ago the Dolphins went to the playoffs, 527 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: and two years ago the Jets could have would have 528 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: should have done something. They won ten games. I just 529 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: think that they're they're I don't think any of them 530 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: were very good. The Bills have changed quarterbacks, just changed, 531 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't say changed the way they're going. But you're 532 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: studying aging mccarroon. There's no telling whether the Sean McCoy 533 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: is going to be there or not. Right with the Dolphins, 534 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: you're getting Ryan Tannio back after missing a ton of time. 535 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: So what do you really have with Ryan tanney Hill? 536 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: And you've lost in Dominicans sue on defense? You lost 537 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: a ton of firepower. You have no longer have Jarvis Landry. 538 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: And then with the Jets, if I'm but I do 539 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: you I trust them doing it with a rookie quarterback. Yeah, 540 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: that's that's the one that I have. I have a 541 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: problem with. I've got to pick one. I'm you know what, 542 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Jets. The Jets, I just think 543 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the building. If the Bills are losing 544 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, then I think it's a stretch for them 545 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: to score in double digits on a week. I mean, 546 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: they won't be any better than our twenty sixteen offense was. Okay, 547 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: if they don't have Lashawn McCoy, all right, that's a 548 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: big mess. For the question. You can ask me that 549 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: about the AFC West Night. All right, Well, it can 550 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: be that you can make a case for any team. 551 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: It's hard to make a case for any team in 552 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: the AFC East other than the Patriots. That's why we 553 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: have the other than questions. The final other than questions 554 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: a very tough one. You have to watch one sport 555 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: the rest of your life exclusively other than football or basketball. 556 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: What are you gonna watch for the rest of your life. 557 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: You can only watch this one sport, and it can't 558 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: be football or basketball. What is it? The natural one 559 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: would be baseball, because that was the third sport that 560 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: I played h in high school. And I love going 561 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: to games, I think, and watching games on team. It's 562 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: just it's slow. I can't believe I'm gonna say this. 563 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: I loved the World Cup this year. Oh I loved it. 564 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's blasted the beautiful game. I 565 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: loved the World Cup. I mean to a point where 566 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: I was watching a documentary the day about Juventus, Juventus 567 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: in Italy and learning more about Champions League and all 568 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. And now they got Christiano Ronaldo 569 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, maybe that's to be well, you know, 570 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, my big selling point in soccer is that 571 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: there's so many different things to root for. You know, 572 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: you have so many different leagues and seasons, and the 573 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: seasons overlap and you have multiple things going on at once, 574 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: which is fun. If this team in this league is 575 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: not doing that well, well, maybe my international team is 576 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: doing well, or maybe we're doing well in the Champions League, 577 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: or maybe we're not who knows, or maybe we're fighting 578 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: to not get relegated downwards. I mean, that is so 579 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: not so not so much fun. It's gonna be stressful 580 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: as a fan, but still you don't want to go 581 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: drop down. So there are a lot of different things 582 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: to root for. Man, what if we had relegation NFL 583 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: we leveland is now in Division three with Trinity, we 584 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: would have been relegated down the division after twenty thirteen unfortunately, 585 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: but I had a blast. You know. The other one 586 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: that I would say what I'm being very specific about 587 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: this college baseball. I love college baseball. I mean I 588 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: almost plau Are you sure you've seen enough of it lately? 589 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: Because man, oh man, not the plank of the aluminum bat, Johnny, 590 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: I love aluminum bat. I love what iLINK. They should 591 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: do that. They should do that. For the home run Derby, 592 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: they should give them an aluminum bat for ten swam 593 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: oh yeah, and see who can't hit it the first? 594 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: They should give them like a bazooka. Yeah, and just 595 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: although the home on Derby this year was excellent with 596 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: Bregman and everything was great. Oh, I was hanging on 597 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: every single pitch, but I can't soccer. I can't believe 598 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm a baseball to me, I'm actually pick golf out. 599 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: If there's no football or basketball in my life, I 600 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: might have to pick golf. I realized, I realized I 601 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: like Tiger and watching Tiger more than I do watching golf. Okay, 602 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: that's fair enough, which is not? I mean, I feel 603 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: bad saying. I mean, I'll watch the Masters. I love. 604 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 1: I love watching the Masters, but I love the Majors. 605 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: But I'm I'm the guy watching Hilton Head and I'm watching, uh, 606 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, the one in Connecticut, the Travelers. I love 607 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: them all. I really do like them all, especially if 608 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: it's you know, obviously, it's like any event. If it's 609 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: compelling and it's close, it's very soothing, and it's quiet 610 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: and it's you know it's hello. You know what I 611 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: love about the you know what I love about the 612 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: soccer aspect. What it's ninety minutes. Now, there are some 613 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: mixed in time, but you got ninety minutes, and that's 614 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: there's some I wish they would keep the time. I 615 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: wish time was rigidly kept, like we have one minute left. 616 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: It's not like one minute and then whatever the ref 617 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: deicides is there. That's a little that's a little weird. 618 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: But you know, in a TV box, if it says 619 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: from ten am to noon, it's gonna be ten am 620 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: to noon. Like it's not going over. It's not gonna 621 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: be you know, a college game, college football game will 622 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: be three hours and fifty minutes when they want it 623 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: to be three hours in five minutes. That's the That's 624 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: the one thing I'll say that it fits a nice 625 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: neat boy. Just don't like overtime. You know what, We're 626 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: gonna do a whole thing on overtime tomorrow in all 627 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: sports because I have so many overtime complaints. NFL college football, actually, 628 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: NBA basketball is pretty good. Five minutes, it's not too bad. 629 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: I'd almost go three in the NBA. It'd be like 630 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: just just give me a few possessions. Let's get down 631 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: to the meat of it here, so you can like 632 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: make a shot that wouldn't be too bad. Soccer's ending 633 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: with penalty kicks. It's like having a fiugal kicking contest. 634 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: I know, but you gotta end the thing. You gotta 635 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: end the thing. I don't like all this fifteen minutes 636 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: here in fifteen minutes there. I don't like that. Take 637 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: one guy off the field. Just take one guy off 638 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: the field every five minutes for each team, and Kayle 639 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: is on the move. Mark appreciate it, Thanks Johnny. As 640 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, Durrell Reevas has a retie. It's one 641 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: of the greatest that we've ever seen. But how far 642 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: back can we say we've seen greatness? Drew Dorty joins 643 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: me to talk about that concept next right here in 644 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: Texas All Access. Earlier during the show, I mentioned that 645 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Darrell Rievers had retired. He had one of the greatest 646 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: nicknames of all time, Rievs Island, because he was a 647 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: shut down corner and just shut people down. By the 648 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: time I finally got a chance to see him in 649 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, he was not quite the Darrell Rievers. We remember, 650 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: but during that time, I think there are a lot 651 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: of people that looked at Darrell Rivas and thought, man, 652 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: he's the best corner to play. He's the best corner 653 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: in the game. Maybe he's one of the best to 654 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: ever play the game. I know a lot of DM 655 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: Sanders fans are like, no, no no, it's Deon. I think 656 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: it is Dion. But it got me thinking about great players, 657 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: and so Drew Dorty and I kind of had this conversation. 658 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: I texted Drew and I I think I have a 659 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: I think I have an idea for in the lab. 660 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: It sounded something like this, who is the greatest player 661 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: that you either played with, played against, or saw your team? 662 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: Because I don't know if you played when you're a 663 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: freshman sophomore university, But who was in that span eighty 664 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: six eighty nine the greatest that you saw in person live? 665 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: I think the greatest that I saw in person live 666 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: was a defensive tackle from willow Ridge and his name 667 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: was Zeric Peters. That was when willow Ridge was in 668 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: its liked Cabnet. Iould say it was he better than 669 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: Grady Cabinets. Yeah, I thought he was. I thought Zeric 670 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: was was due to due to have a great career, 671 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: and he ended up I think going to Oklahoma. And 672 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: I want to say, I don't remember what exactly happened 673 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, but I just remember watching him at Willow Ridge. 674 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: And there's a there's a kind of a famous story 675 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: that kind of went around our coaching staff and went 676 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: around in my school that Zerik went to the coin 677 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: toss and really we were we were the smallest five 678 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: A school, and then my junior and seniors we bumped 679 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: down to four A. And so this I think was 680 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: when I was either eighth grade or ninth grade. And 681 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: so will the Ridge Commons to our place to play, 682 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: and we we had some talent, but our thing was 683 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 1: we just were physical. I mean we would hit you 684 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: and just knock you, knock your lights. So that was 685 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: just kind of our school's mantra. But we got this 686 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: information and we just hit. So when we're gonna play 687 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: will the Ridge, it was gonna be, uh, just head 688 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: knocking battle. I mean it was just gonna be slob 689 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: or knock in his Jared would say, and we're gonna 690 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: beat the hell out each other. But Peters was a 691 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: different kind of dude man, and so at the coin toss. 692 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: It's at our place, and they win the coin toss. 693 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: Will the Ridge calls that they get the coin toss, 694 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: and they go, Captain Peters, what would you like to do? 695 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: And apparently turned to our guys and he goes, just 696 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: give them the damn ball and they walked off and 697 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: they ended up. They proceeded to be to sound as 698 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: it was like a sixteen to seven kind of ball game, 699 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: but that was pretty much to be expected and score 700 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: than it really was. But Zarah Peters was one, and 701 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: then the other one that I saw was at um Oh. 702 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: I saw one the year after I graduated. I came 703 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: back to watch our team and uh, we had gone. 704 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: We moved back up to five A and we were 705 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: playing Washington playing woman the astrodam oh, and Washington had 706 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: a wide receiver by the name of Mercury Hayes. Yeah, 707 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: and he was phenomenal. That's where he went. He went 708 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: both ways. Oh, yeah, he went. But he had a 709 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: good career in Michigan. That's right, that's right, Mercury Hayes. 710 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: And of course the name just stands out. But I 711 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 1: saw him the next year and I thought, oh my goodness. 712 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: I was like, thank God, I'm not playing because I 713 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: covered that guy. See, I gotta go back here, will Ridge, 714 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: because I got to see them in person. I saw 715 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: them play here in the Dome I think eighty seven 716 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: against Strafford in the semifinal. Oh yeah, And Strafford went 717 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: on to lose the Plano that year in the final. 718 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: But that was a Strafford team with the quarterback. His 719 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: name was Lennon Warez and he played with David Klingler. 720 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: They but I feel like they split reps almost. I'm 721 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: not a Rafford football historian here, but Cleanler and Warez. 722 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: But really they were a running team. They had a 723 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: guy named Earl Coleman and a guy named Matt Trazo 724 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: or Trozo. He was my best friend. He was my 725 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: best friend of high school's good friend at Baylor. They 726 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: were Matt Trozen was a good player, good defense, had Watler, 727 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: the Whitler brothers. They played at Texas and then they 728 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: had um Mike Gandolpho and then they went pretty deep 729 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: the next year. The Now those are ones that that 730 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: I saw a play while I was in high school. 731 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: But the very first high school game I ever saw 732 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: when I moved to Texas was that over in the Dome. 733 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: It was in nineteen eighty three. I had never been 734 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: to the Dome. And essentially the guy who was responsible 735 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: for getting my dad down here, he played for my 736 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: dad in Wisconsin and then he came down to here, 737 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: started coaching Alice, Texas. Yeah, and then got the job 738 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: at Clements High School before Climates opened, and said, you 739 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: gotta come down here. If high school football is what 740 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: you want to coach, you want to do that, you 741 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: gotta do in Texas. Texas high footballs where it's at. 742 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: So my dad got a job at the market solidated, 743 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: and so first high school game of the year it 744 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: was base City versus willow Ridge. Willow Ridge just coming 745 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 1: off of state titles. Hartley Dikes exactly who was Yeah, 746 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: Hartley Dikes for base City and and Willard was just 747 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: coming off a state title and we were playing basically 748 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: the reason we're going to the game because we were 749 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: playing bas City the next week at Base City. And 750 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: so i walk out and I've never seen I've never 751 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: seen a Texas high school fotball game. And I'm twelve, 752 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm saying my down like I'm getting I'm upset, 753 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: like I'm almost crying, Dad, I can't see the ball, like, 754 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: I can't find the ball. The game was going so fast, 755 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: like I could not at times find where the football was. 756 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: It took me a while. It took me like two 757 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: or three games of watching live Texas high school football 758 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: to find where the ball was. And it was Therma 759 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: Thomas and Hartley Dikes and Willard's, like I said, was 760 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: coming off a state title. And Hartley Dykes in Base 761 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: City beat them forty two to nothing, and we had 762 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 1: to play them the next week. We ended up hanging 763 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: in there. We lost like twenty one seven. We hung 764 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: in there. It was like fourteen seven. Good coaching, It 765 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: was fourteen seven. This is the best part. It's fourteen seven. 766 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: And they run and Hartley really hadn't done a whole 767 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 1: lot that game. Hartley's maybe the best athlete I've ever seen, 768 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: maybe maybe ever. He and Lebradford Smith Lebretford, both of 769 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: them played in Bay City. And so they run a 770 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: reverse pass. And we had heard that Hartley Dikes had 771 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: won the pass punt the pump passing kit competition, and 772 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: largely because of his throw, well he rears back, if 773 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, he was left handed and he rears 774 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: back and throws one and just launches one. I'm like, 775 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, throws it like sixty yards bomb touchdown. 776 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: They had a track guy named Joe to Loach that 777 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: Harley Dikes ended up throwing to Joe Loach was like 778 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: sprinter at University of Houston and just launched it and 779 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: the Loch ran by everybody and caught it, and that 780 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: made it like twenty one seven. But that was my 781 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: first game I ever saw in high school. Yeah, it 782 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: was those guys, all right mine. Not as many people 783 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: are gonna know about this guy, but I think if 784 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: he had a few more inches in height, we'd heard 785 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: more about him. But I went to Jesuit obviously, I'm 786 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: a little bit younger than you. Graduated night six nine five. 787 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: For my football seasons, the guy I remember most as 788 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: being like, this guy's better than everybody was a running 789 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: back for our team, a guy named Miguel Grio. He 790 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: had a few three hundred yard games games. Yeah, he 791 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: could have played. He could have definitely played in college 792 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: he had he certainly had offers. I'm sure he could 793 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: have probably played at any of the service academies, but 794 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 1: he wound up Jodan the Marines at out of college 795 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: and then after he was discharged from the Marines, went 796 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: back to school, and you know, I'm sure he's living 797 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 1: a good life. But this guy was tough as nails. 798 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: And there was a guy the year before I got 799 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: there named Chris Darkins who wound up playing at Minnesota. Yeah, 800 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: wound up playing in the NFL for the Packers. And 801 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: there are a few games he didn't play my eighth 802 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: grade year that Grio filled in and just went loose. 803 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: And I there's there's jokes about Grio. When he played 804 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: in in junior high. He would like score touchdowns and 805 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: be pasted. Everybody needs like walking backwards and hand the 806 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: ball to the He was like that good. So anyways, 807 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: Miguel Grio's my guy. Yeah. Well, when I went to Florida, 808 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,840 Speaker 1: and obviously that that's kind of where I cheat a 809 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: little bit because I got a chance to see some 810 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: of the best, the best high school player I've ever seen. 811 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: Unfortunately didn't see him live, but the best high school 812 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: player I've ever seen, and it might be the best 813 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: football player I've ever seen, because his career continued on 814 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 1: the ascent that we expected was Sean Taylor he was 815 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: at when I was when I was in my last 816 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: I was in my last year coaching at um At 817 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: Episcopal in two thousand and on our RSN, which time 818 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: of Sunshine Network, they would have a highlight show that 819 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: would show up and they would show however they did 820 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: it back then, they would get the highlights from the 821 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: local games and then send them on Sunshine Network and 822 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: then they would show them at night. And so the 823 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: show would come on at like eleven thirty and they 824 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: would take highlights from wherever they got him. And so 825 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: one time our highlights were on there and we had 826 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: just won, and so I thought we'd want a big 827 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: game and we're going to the playoff. We were. This 828 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: put us in first place in the dish. We had 829 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: never been in a playoff, so I thought, well, maybe 830 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: they'll have the highlights on. So I'm watching this show. 831 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm watching the show. I'm in my kitchen, I'm watching 832 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: the show. It's like eleven thirty. Page's gone to bed. 833 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching this show and they say, hey, let's go 834 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: down to Miami and check out local prep school, Gulliver 835 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: Prep and their stars Sean Taylor. And I'm not really 836 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: paying attention to Sean Taylor part. And at some point 837 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, watch Sean Taylor make this hit. And 838 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: I was always I loved big hits and he could 839 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: do that. So they show him playing safety and this 840 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: kid goes through the line. It looks like and it 841 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: was a kid that we had played against the year 842 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,479 Speaker 1: before and he had transferred schools. But this kid was good. 843 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: He's like six one two fifteen and could fly. And 844 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: his kid breaks through the hole and Taylor's playing safety 845 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,879 Speaker 1: and it's basically he and Taylor, and Taylor hits him 846 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: so hard he flips him over. And I was like, 847 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,720 Speaker 1: you know it's not you know, now you have like DVR, 848 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 1: you know fact, you know live you can be wining 849 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: live TV. And I was like, oh my god. So 850 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: I ended up getting some game film on Sean Taylor, 851 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: like I gotta see this guy, and I see more 852 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: game film of gall Prep. Like I called down to 853 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: some of the guys that I knew down South there 854 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: we had played and said, hey, you got any film 855 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: of Glover Prep and they're like yeah, yeah, So they 856 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: sent it up and I just just watched, like, this 857 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 1: kid's unbelievable. Well, they kept showing his highlights every week. 858 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: At running back, he set the record in the state 859 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: for like forty eight rushing touchdowns or something like that. 860 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: It was absurd. So what you do with the great 861 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: high school players back then, you put the ball in 862 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: their hand and running back. Yeah, and then he was 863 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 1: playing running back in safety, and so in the state 864 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: championship game, one of my favorite highlights all the time, 865 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: and they showed it on Football Life. Nobody ever talked 866 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: about it until the Football Life. They moved him out 867 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: the receiver. Now he's six at the time, he's six 868 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: three two twenty State championship game, other team, other teams 869 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: running back had been voted the state player of the year. 870 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: Taylor made his mission to end that dude that day, 871 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: and he did so. This kid is actually covering Taylor 872 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: in the end zone. Taylor, he runs by everybody on 873 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: a deep route and so when he gets down the 874 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: end zone, he throws up his hands and when the 875 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't throwing the ball, he literally throws a like 876 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: a three year old fit in the end zone. He 877 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: starts stopping around and like throwing his arms around like 878 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: what that you know, Then all of sudden would happen 879 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: was the quarterback and gotten some pressures, so he had 880 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: to wheel away from it and get away from it. 881 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 1: And so he's throwing his tamper tantrum and as he's 882 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: throwing his tamper tantrum, the quarterback, Buck Ortega season launches it. Well, 883 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: it's not a great throw, and the two defenders are 884 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: able to kind of like get in front of him. 885 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,240 Speaker 1: Taylor stops his tantrum, sees the balls in here, literally 886 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: stops his tantrum, sees the ball in the air, jumps 887 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: and literally picks it right off the top of their 888 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: two heads, kind of like Andre Johnson. That one play 889 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: exactly exactly, and I went, oh, my god, who's pretty good. 890 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. He goes to Miami. I moved to North Carolina, 891 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: and I when I moved up to North Carolina, I 892 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: sort of forgot about I knew he was going to Miami. 893 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: And so I'm watching the first game of the two 894 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 1: thousand and two season and they're talking about Sean Taylor. 895 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: Sound familiar, and then I see him. I'm like, oh, 896 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 1: that's him. He ended up being one of the greatest 897 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 1: safeties the NFL ever well before his that he was 898 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: there he was the greatest football player I've I've ever seen, 899 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: but beyond a shout of it, doubt and saw it 900 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: all the way from her, she's saying he's probably better 901 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: than mcgil green a little bit. No offense mcguil absolutely 902 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: no offense. Three hundred yard games, nothing to sneeze out, 903 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: my friend. It doesn't matter when you get them. So 904 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: there you go. Hope you guys enjoyed that. Yeah, Sean 905 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: Taylor at best I've ever seen, just unbelievable. Well, we 906 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: lost him way too soon.
