(02:42):
he at? Okay? That's all That's what I want. You
know what I was thinking too about hoops. I'm kind
of my mind's racing did in the off season, like
over at Lifetime Fitness where you play hoops, you know
and stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Lifetime in the Woodlands doesn't have that. Yeah, it has a
pickaball and we don't give back.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
We don't. We don't give free pub that's true. Yeah,
so the gym with a hoop and unless we're good,
unless they're you know, it's free, right right. I think
that if shen Gouon goes there in the off season,
I'll dunk on his ass. I think that's just what
I'm gonna do. So you back him up in the post. No, no, no, no,
you just get back. I don't even take him to
(03:17):
the low block. I'm taking him a low block, drop
step and cup dunk on him basement. But I'm just
thinking about taking the ball out catch, take him off
the dribble. I'm gonna put the ball in the deck
and I'm gonna go up and and and cup dunk
on his ass. He's gonna go up and contest it,
and I'm gonna finish at the finish at the rim.
(03:37):
And then I'm gonna stand over him, you know, like
one leg on one side, leg down on the other,
and just like stare down like.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah that's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, Yeah, that's what I That's what I'm looking for
you to say what I do it. And I'm telling
you it's gonna be a Tomahawk cup dunk too.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So he's gonna be in town. Oh yeah, he's gonna
stick around, well for once a week, like to get
that gym. Where's he from? Turkey game from Tennessee. No,
he's not. He's not Jim Bob Cooter. You don't go
to high school with Jim Bob Shingoon. Is he Lithuanian
or let's see hometown?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
He is Turkish? Turkish? There you go, there we go,
all right, So Garrison Northeast Turkey.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So do you think, yeah, do you think find that
on the map? Do you think that I'll dunk on
Shingoon in the off season?
Speaker 8 (04:28):
You do?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I think might even throw you an alley.
Speaker 9 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah. Are you basically saying that Tripley is like the
point guard because he's not like six four? Well yeah,
he yeah, you get six four small for a point
is how about triple Y? Yeah? Yeah, I think he will.
I think what I'll do, I'll come up to the
you know, I'll run, I'll come off the curl, but
I'll boom go back door cut Princeton style instead of
(04:54):
instead of a back door cut Princeton.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
In middle school offense. Yeah, the most boring basic white
guys off offense.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, but they're always up and shoot layups under the basket,
your back cut.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, the reason why it's called the Princeton offense is
because they don't value you, because there are a bunch
of white boys that they don't. But they don't miss
a layup or a free throw to save their lives.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
They win their conference tournament, they get into that day tournament,
they make some noise.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Because they don't turn it over. They shoot free throws.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And you know, white boys, they've been out there, they
stand out the three point line since they're in junior
hide knocking down shots right and then and so at
the rim, they're not gonna dunk on you, but they're
gonna finish it to rim and they won't miss lip.
It'll be a three point play and they won't miss it.
They're shooting average for the teams, Like the twelfth guy
in the bench shoots.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Like throw line.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
It's like the most basic fundamental offense. Hey it's the
back cut. Yeah, sweet sixth and they do it like
forty times a game. You still can't cover it for Hey,
Princeton's now in the sweet sixteen and Prince Day.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's true, it's like you'll you'll get that. Well, yeah,
I don't think Shane Goodon wants any part of me
at that. Probably not. I mean, you know how that goes. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. So I just think that
was on my mind, thinking that might just take him
to the rack. You know.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I know it's still we're not even to the All
Star break in the NBA, but an all seriously, I'll come.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Off the curl from an alley up to what I
meant from triple He come off the curl boom and
take it back door and I just don't get hung
Oh no, no, no, ye you'll yeek yeah yeah, on right
top of it and with forty yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
The Rockets were thirty two and fourteen. They were five
hundred last year.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
They're nine games away from their their their forty one
wins last year. Yeah, and we haven't played the All
Star Game yet.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is one of those why I know you need
a couple days rest and the All Star Game, but
the truth is he just want to keep playing. Yeah, man,
the roll through that damn All Star winning when it happens,
and let's go.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
And I think I saw amn Thompson's going to be
playing in the Rising Stars Game. He's for the rookies
and sophomores.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's he's a rising Stan guy can play man balling
out of his ass right.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Now, thirty two and fourteen.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yeah, Like I we said last two years ago, we
talked to like what it would look like in the
next five years for the Rockets, and I think we
said a year two like of the rebuild, right, five
year with dokah Yeah, with the Doka I maybe get
into the plane. Maybe not, well, they were five hundred.
Last year was in my mind last year was his
(07:15):
first year?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Right? Was it last year year prior? I think it was.
Wasn't last year's first year as a head coach? Or
is this last year's second year? Is this the second year?
Is that already three years? Has he been the head
coach now? Three years?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
No?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
I think you're right. I think it might be his
second year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Didn't he come off a because they had a horrible
didn't they go from I mean because that they won
that the year side has got fired.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
They were in the twenties. So or am I losing
my Or is this year twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four,
twenty twenty five, this is his third year?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What the hell can't be? You said, twenty twenty four
to twenty twenty five? Twenty twenty three is the first year?
Twenty twenty four? We're in the twenty twenty four season. Okay, yeah,
so second year? Right?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I was gonna say, damn, like, damn, dude, weird.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Because the NBA rolls over into both years obviously, so
look at his impact. Thirty two wins already and yeah,
forty twenty three twenty four season.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Now we're in the twenty twenty four Your twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Twenty five start in the fall will be his third
year this year. Two think about that impact? Yeah, I mean,
and you think about this, well, here's the irony of it.
Every single coach on the major franchises, they're in their
second year. Udoka to Miko Ryans just finished his and
a spot is in his Yah a spot. I had
(08:26):
him in the playoffs. Tomiko Ryans had him back to
back playoffs. Udoka went from like twenty something wins to
forty one wins and now got him at thirty four
wins or thirty two wins, nine wins shy of their
entire season last year, and we haven't played an All
Star game. Yeah wow. Now you think about all three
in their second year. Now, you look at all of
them and say that five four years ago, three years ago,
(08:49):
you could look up with Astro's roll and you look
at say, man, the Rockets are a long way way
and the Texans are a disaster. In a short period
of time. You've got three franchises, it our playoff franchises
in all three. It's weird because of the three right now,
it's almost as if the Texans have fallen. We talked
(09:09):
about a little bit to the third hole because the
offen the optics were not just not good up front, right.
But I don't know if the Rockets going to win
NBA title this year, but I can tell you what.
You don't want to play him in a long series
right now? You don't. And with the Texans, we know
they've got the basis of something pretty special. And the
Astros are just the Astros. They just keep doing it
and we'll see what happens this year. But it won't
(09:31):
shock me if the Astros find a way this time
overachieve it a year when most people are like wondering,
what's going on? They're real and are they really real?
In the pitching staff, can they stay healthy? What's going
on with Bregman which feels like he's now out not
going to be here right? And it just but it's
amazing impact the coaches and we've already had, you know,
Willie Fritz will be in his second year and Kelvin
(09:54):
Samson's obviously the KG veteran of the group, and they
keep winning.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
You know that that franchise, I mean they know then then,
right down the road man up in Huntsville. They bring
in Phil Longo. That football program has always been really good.
They just won I want to say, nine or ten
games this past year and they'll score some points. Yeah,
and Phil, Phil's excited to be back. I know that
for a fact in talking to him. So we got
some things and then you know, there's a lot of
(10:18):
different fans here. I mean, think about the thriving schools
in the state of Texas. TC is always going to
be around. SMU had a phenomenal year. University of Texas
is a step away from being national champions. And now
we get the arch Manning introduction Baylor, I think we'll
start to rebuild this thing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right. The University of Houston. We talked about Willie Fritz.
He gets his people into proper recruits and he's just
he's been successful too long, not right, And then that's
just the the culture he creates wherever he goes. They
just went and look at Tulane now and handed out
they're still winning and winning big so because I mean,
he set a tone and here they are so well.
(10:55):
I underrated how the national media talks about just the
coaches and the city because I'm gonna tell you right now,
if you find five better coaches in America than the
guy we got college basketball wise right here, you'd have
to look long at hard I think about him, Bill Self.
I don't want to leave anybody out because you do.
I mean you start to think about it. I mean
Tom Izzo, the self. There, there're some you know with
(11:17):
no longer the Roy Williams. I mean, Bob Huggins was
always a phenomenal coach.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I mean when you look around, what's the head coach
at Auburn, Bruce Pearl Pearl uh is Buzz Williams still
at Texas A and m Buzz is still there. I
mean he's one of the the Tennessee's coach from tenne
Rick Barnes, I mean had his trouble getting to the
national championship, but he always gets him to the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You start to look around at college basketball coaches. If Kelvin,
if you get to number five and you haven't that,
that's I think we're doing him. But I think he's
better than that. Yeah, but I'm talking about on the
nationals cope because it's Houston, it's not a blue blood program.
Right on the nationalist coope, you find me somebody who's
impacted their program as immediate and lasting as Kelvin Sampson has.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
That's a short, very short line.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Stand in, Yeah, they played last night, actually you have
aaged and they won sixty three to forty nine over
West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Once again, low scoring team doesn't You will not lose
a game if you keep a team under fifty. Keys
is college basketball, which plays a little slower through the
NBA but still this day. But the three point line
keeping somebody under fifty, it's not Virginia, because Virginia, you know,
God bless them, that team will win a national title
scoring fifty two and keep you to forty nine when
(12:26):
you know when they were taking care of their business.
So I just I love coach Sampson. We've got some
damn good coaches in this town. I mean, you look
at just that game that we're talking about. West Virginia
had nineteen points in the first half. Yeah, nineteen points.
Do you look at these other scores.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Auburn and LSU played last night eighty seven to seventy four,
Alabama Mississippi State eighty eight, eighty four. Then you add
University of Houston sixty three, West Virginia forty nine, Maryland
in Wisconsin. Maryland upset Wisconsin seventy six, sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Maryland go down the road. Maryland is on a friggin
roll right now. The way they're playing basketball. Yeah, they
just improved themselves a seventeen and five. Yeah, I watched
them on riekend, but playing good basketball. They watched them
over the weekend. They're playing some pretty damn good good hoops. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Everybody except West Virginia scored fifty five or more points, right,
and forty nine.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And it's more on Houston than West Virginia, by the way.
They smother you and they're relentless on defense, as we know.
So you look at that, it's pretty impressive, man, Yeah,
pretty impressive what's going on. And we're fortunate to have it.
And now you just got to match it and championships
will come. But they sure have built culture here with
on the national scale. Our coaches in this town aren't
talked about enough, and they're damn good. I still want
(13:37):
to know.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I know I vested a couple different times over the
last probably a couple of years, like who's going to
win a championship? First Rockets, Texans Astros, and if they do,
will it be in the next two years, three years,
five years.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, the team that seems to be rising faster than
anybody is the basketball team. I mean, I'm talking about
quantum leaps. I don't think people are going to say
the Texans now, even though they're loaded with great players.
I think you're right, right, take the AFC into it,
and the fact that we got a really good quarterback,
but there's like five that are better in the a
f C or that would be considered in the rankings. Right,
(14:14):
you start to look at it like that and you're saying, well,
they've got the ability, and I think the optics of
the way they played this year at times in consists
on the offense. Defense. You're like, hell, the offense, You're
like that kind of sets you back. We're worried about
the Astros offseason moves. I bet you the majority of
people might say the Rockets right now, just because just
because this this recency, by the way they're playing this
whole year, they've been consistently good. So the key is not,
(14:38):
you know, for us to talk about it, for it
w won't it be awesome if you're coming down to
the Western Conference Final the Rockets were Rockets are playing
you know Oklahoma City? How good would that be?
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Awesome?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
No, doubt would be bricked up the whole series.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hell yeah, we singing today, singing anybody singing today? We
probably will right every every day. That's a stupid question,
isn't it. Yeah, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I don't never really say that, but yeah, take a
lap dude. Yeah, I'm going to believe. Give me a timeout. Yeah, well,
that's kind of weird. You want to go to timeout?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Duval.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's that's one team that ain't winning it next year.
All Right, we got a lot to get into this morning.
Excuse me, uh, Alex Bregman's still a free agent. There's
a new team that's involved in the fraid to try
to get him. The Texans interviewing a couple of potentials
for offensive court as we're going to talk about next.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Who is Bill Laser?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Seven?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
One three, two five seven?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
And we will also take your calls right here on
the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Let's go call. This is the Seawan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Roger, what's up man?
Speaker 10 (15:48):
Good morning, fellas.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
I have to be I haven't been myself in a
in a in a while. Man, I was battling a
bug man, but now I'm better man. Uh so on
this on these rockets, Man, these rockets are boss Willis gets.
I'm very impressed about how their growth is sped up
within this last two or three week span and slaying
(16:10):
all the giants in the process.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
I've seen here hearing a lot of rumors, a lot
of rumors about deeron Fox.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Obviously, Butler already went somewhere, but I really don't want
to mess the squad up.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
At least, let's just to see.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
How far this thing can go with what they have,
because man, there's a lot of young talent on this
team and I just don't I just don't see it.
And with a lot of more picks and a lot
of a lot of draft capital, h they have in
their back wallet. So I don't really see any kind
of any kind of unnecessary move that they need to
make other than maybe a spot up three shooter.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Uh, they can play some d I don't see a
deer in Fox.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
A lot of people are saying that the Deer in
Fox and the franchise and change franchise, changing the player
they can they can take a team to the top
and I'm saying he hasn't Orgy done that Sacramentals, and.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
I don't see it him doing, you know, anything more than.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Just uh, he's a good player, don't get me wrong,
but yeah, I'd like to I'd like.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
To have him go to Santatan. We can just beat
his ass over there.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
I just I just rather than happened that way and
on the breaking on the breakman, watch man, I just
feel like, what, how if you've not fired Scott Boris yet.
I don't see why he hasn't, because there's no way
he went through this thing thinking that this was gonna
play out like this.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I just feel like Scott boards really screwed him over
big time. And now he's like.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
In a Roger, I got ten seconds for you, buddy.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
But that's it, guys, That's all I have to say.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Appreciate your field. You're a one hundred percent ride on
these rockets. I don't think it needs to be disrupt
Darren Fox the hell of a player. Yeah, but Roger
makes a point. Sacramento's had some decent run the last
couple of years, you know, a couple of years ago.
I mean, they've they've had some good players he's still there, right. Yeah,
So Darren, you're thinking the dearon Fox move like he's
(18:02):
looks like he's going to be.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
There is a big, big interest between deeron Fox and
the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And then he mentioned trade type of thing.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Jimmy Butler is he got suspended in definitely by the heat.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He hasn't moved yet, right, He's gonna try to get
the trade about it yesterday and you're trying to work
on it. But by what he's doing isn't exactly And
pat Riley usually doesn't budge on this stuff, right, And
and Spolstra because you know he's Jimmy Butler's just been
a pain in the ass. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And reportedly dearon Fox wants to go to he wants
to be traded to the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Oh yeah. And so and I was sitting there thinking,
man that I miss him on Daron Fox and that
go on Sacramento all the time, right every week and
so and we've talked about the kids a hell of
a player, but at this point in time, you bring
a hell of a player in, you're gonna have to
get rid of a couple of hell of fied players.
So and Roger made the point of if it was
(18:50):
franchise changing and he's a hell of a play, don't
getting there. Sometimes a change of venues is a good thing.
Getting putting in with Webbin Yama will be a great
thing if it happens, and it there'll be a little
more and Popovich's group over there in San Antonio, guess what,
they'd love that because it gives him a couple more stars. Right,
But what you'd have to give up to go get
the Aaron Fox is not worth it to this franchise.
(19:12):
They don't need another superstar. They need a I mean,
whatever it is, you add depth or a role guy
or somebody, but they don't need Why would you disrupt this? Yeah,
if you could add to it and you knew it
was going to get better, But can you imagine you
give it and you take it the way we do?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
You think you're gonna get d Aaron Fox four?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The talk? I mean, I understand anytime have Kevin Durant's
name comes up and people still talk about getting you
know what I'm saying, the booker, the Durant, And I
understand anytime you can get somebody who makes your roster better,
but you've got to be careful that while a talented player,
but a talented player may also disrupt your roster as well,
even though he scores twenty four a night or twenty
five a night. And I like the Aaron Fox. He
(19:56):
is really talented, but not here. And you're saying you're
going to get a guy. Don't we have a the
Aaron Fox here? Potential? That's what I'm saying. So Fox
can play, but think about what you'd have to give
up after what you've built. And now you've got to worry,
well will it fit in? Will the chemistry, will the
chemistry continue to go the way to And I know
(20:17):
we use the word chemistry and culture too much as
we do, but the truth of the matter is walking
in and taking away from what you got and then
happen to somebody call and you know what happens when
another star comes in. When you think you're already a
star or two on this team, what's the first thing
you think of?
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Who's the star?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Which is right because of me or them thing instead
of an US thing? And so you don't want that
to disrupt it. Now you've got to be a grown
adult and say, okay, but is a d Aaron Fox
someone like that, or when we kept mentioning Jimmy Butler
to get him here, what it's going to take to
disrupt your role? I wouldn't listen to me if there
(20:53):
should not be a wow factor move on this team. No,
san Antonio, go do thing you need it.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
This team may need something, but it ain't a guy
who waltz in and automatically has to demand the ball
on a regular basis.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Between this offseason and twenty thirty one sean they have,
the Rockets have ten first round draft picks, including two
two selections in twenty twenty seven when they have swap
rights with the Brooklyn Nets and an unprotected pick from
the Phoenix Suns. They have so many draft picks and
(21:30):
so many trade assets, meaning those draft picks, and I
wouldn't even I wouldn't even offer them up for a
Jimmy Butler Aaron Fox. No, it's got to be meticulous.
It's got to be a piece that you, uh. It
has to be a non sexy move like what like
what James Click.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
You should do for the Astros.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Or you continue to you body, you save those assets
and you put them away and you're safe. Yeah, and
when you do need a sexy move, then you have
the ability and firepower to make it.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Then you got the emmy.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Don't want to force a square. Well, we got all
these assets, let's just make it. Put it this way,
the easiest way to say this, don't make a move
just to make a move. They were very judicious and
not making a move last year to trade Jalen Green
when people the first half of last season were thinking
it's just not quite working, and then heat like overnight
turned it on. I'm talking about the not the talent,
the consistency, and so they didn't do it. And sometimes
(22:22):
the best thing you do is nothing. Astros right now
speaking a little different because there's some things you got
to do with the rockets. I'm not sure. Now you
go the rest of the season, all of a sudden
you say, man, we could have pulled you know, our
depth on the backboards, or we're not fit, whatever it
is that you think as it goes on. If you
fall short you start, then in the office you can say, Okay,
we've got to shore up that the depth of this position,
(22:45):
or we got to get more out of this guy,
or more out of this guy right or wit more
you know the things I'm talking about right now. I
feel like you're forcing a square pegging around hole. If
you just make a move to make a move, then
they don't need to do that at all. Don't even
do it what it takes to give up to get
what you think you need for a star. I don't
think this team thinks they need that, though, And I
want nothing to do with Jimmy Butler. I trust Dudoka
(23:06):
and if he says we need something and he tells
front office, I get it. But is it really? Do
you really think they're starving for a superstar?
Speaker 12 (23:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Outside the building, No, I don't either. I don't think so.
I think they got a good use. You don't get
those guys. It ain't a free agency thing you're you're
looking to. You're good, You're gonna have to give up
assets and get it.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And plus you knew you were coming into this rebuild
and you're in year two with Ema Udoka as your
head coach. You don't just need to trade picks just
to go get a superstar. When you've been consistent with
your rebuild and you're watching your young guys start to
blossom right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, don't get rid of the assets you've you've trained,
yea built, and they've worked hard and buying in. And
one last thing too, is that it's not even so much.
And let's say you had to give up a bunch
of assets to get somebody you wanted. When that person
gets here, will they be rockets culture?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Will they buy in? Right? Yeah? So I just if
you once again, if you don't love it, don't do
it like and it's not enough in this situation, considering the.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Way you're playing, no doubt, seven one, three, two, two five,
seven ninety is the number to join. Let's talk a
little Texans football. They're set to interview two potential candidates
today for their open offensive coordinator position. Who are they
and what is their career like and what it's been
like in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Next, The Shawn Salsbury Show continued, I mean, look, I'm
not trying to have sex for eight hours.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Man, that sounds terrible. Well, that sounds a dude, you're
not trying to have sex for eight minutes?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah, I agree, I agree that's too long.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Dude, You're hell for like three minutes though, Hey, man,
after you it's not her. It's hits me. Yeah, fine, yeah,
I mean for three I mean you're you're like Tasmanian
devil for three minus. I mean you'll get after eight hours.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
That sounds awful, five hours, four hours an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Then if you're if you're knocking the bottom out for
eight hours, dude, it ain't gonna be me that needs
to go to the hoste exactly. Yeah, it's an that's
all I agree. But then again, what guys say. I mean,
they got good recovery skills, man, man recovery skills. But Sting,
(25:13):
I mean, if he's bringing it, I mean, dude, is
he knocking down blue darts? I don't know. He's got
to be right. I had to have zero idea how.
I don't know, dude, he might just be built different
that the eight hours is an average run for him.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I don't how do you stay like ready to go
for eight hours?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Call Sting?
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Apparently, man, how do you how do you stay?
Speaker 11 (25:36):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Of course he's been asked the question, what's the correct
t yoga santra guy? Yeah, he's like big into that.
He controls his he controls his lower abdomen. Okay, what's
the politically correct term for for what bricked up. You've
got blood flow, yeah, you can say that. You know,
you know this will help you with blood flow to
clear up your You got Clarence Clarence on the blood fly. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
And if you're having any issues with that men'st clinicnst
clinic dot com, which can't help social wellness, Yeah, there
you go.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
There you go as well. And I can't promise you
it'll give you eight hours of love like uh like
Stinghouse terrible. I mean Stings doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I will hold not.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
To get exactly seven ninety sat.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
Chris, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 13 (26:28):
Uh, hey, guys, we don't need another superstar on this
team from from somewhere else. We already have a superstar
on this team. His name is Amen Thompson. Oh yeah, uh,
I agree with you, guys. We don't need to break
up this Rockets team.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Football.
Speaker 13 (26:44):
Saquon Barkley when he was playing against the Washington Commanders,
I was so impressed with him when he scored a touchdown,
he did the Barry Sanders just hand the football off
to the referee and he's telling his teammates, look, man,
let's not jump around in the end zone right now.
We got a lot of football to play. We're trying
to win a Super Bowl, so I was really impressed
(27:05):
with that. And and lastly, if the Astros still give
Alex Bregman that same six year contract they offered him
a couple of months ago, I'm going to be really
disappointed at this front office. I cannot believe, Sean that
that contract is still on the table. I believe the
Astros have pulled that contract off the table and have
(27:25):
offered him something else because the market doesn't justify it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Have a good morning, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Real quick.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
On Saquon Barkley, I feel like he got more excited
for when Will Shipley scored his first career touchdown. Saquon
Barkley was on the sideline. He ran, put his helmet
on and ran all the way down the sideline into
the end zone to grab Will Shipley later on in
that game.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, yeah, man, he made a He makes great points
along the way. One is I'm not offering him anymore,
meaning bregmant yes, yeah, when you get back to Saquon Barkley, Yeah,
I was fortunate, Marcus Allen. I never saw him spike
the balleting time, and I mean, you don't spike it
in college, but now they're giving a little more legue way.
But he's the same way, Barry Sanders the same way.
I've never seen him spike now enthusiasm one way. But
(28:11):
Barkley's been there enough, bless you to know that. You
know what his attitude towards it. Business is not done yet.
His dream wasn't to get to the Super Bullets to
go win it. Now he's gonna have his hands full.
I can guarantee you it's so is Kansas City's defense
with that guy. Think about like how freed up he
the Giants held him down. There was a point in
(28:32):
time when we thought Saquon Barkley was overrated, that he
should have been the second pick of this draft. And
I don't subscribe to draft picks this high at running back.
I can tell you this. Every now and again you
run into one, and this dude's one of them. Yeah,
his versatility and his his it's almost like when he
left the Giants, like I still got a lot to prove.
And some guys get fat and happy, not literally fat,
(28:53):
but you know what I'm saying, This dude said, there's
another level of my game, and man alive was he
not kidding. I think how many home runs he hits
on a weekly basis, It's crazy. The guy's phenomenal players
play the game and a great example. So this is
one case when a running back. You think about this year, though,
(29:14):
what what Derreck Henry's done for Lamar Jackson and what
this cat's done, what McCaffrey's been doing in San Francisco
with Joe Mixon added to this team, But you think
about the running back that's been devalued unfortunately for whatever
sal Rewisenkwon Barkley couldn't remember when they signed him with
the contractor it was a he accepted a lot lower lower.
But you look at his impact and Cook's impact in
(29:35):
Buffalo exactly what I was about the lead to look
at James Cooks done this year. I mean even Kareem
Hunt coming back to Kansas City to help when Checko
has been hurt and they the two man game. Now
look how far Cleveland's fallen when Hubb's not healthy. But
you stay, do you take a look at Henry and
Barkley this year. Sae Kwon Barkley's impact has been phenomenal,
and I just he's easy to root for. Yeah, he
(29:58):
really is, and he's proven why he should have been
to say, and now you're like, man, if we can
find that guy in the draft, he now I will
take him in the first ten picks. Right. Yeah, they're
not in this game. If Barkley's not on that.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Team, you could honestly make a very very strong, strong
case to give him the MVP.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Off the Eagles. Yep, they're not in the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
No, they're not. If he was, if it was any
other year, he's gonna be. I think they're gonna vote
him Offensive Player of the Year. I think I think
one of the obviously Lamar or Josh Allen are gonna
win the MVP. I think the MVP voting is gonna
go Alan Lamar, Barkley, Burrow Golf. I think the Offensive
(30:38):
Player of the Year is going to go Barkley. You
can't leave him out.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Of every ward's got to give him something.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
He doesn't have the ball in his hand every time
like a quarterback, and look at the damage he's done
when he has the ball in his hand. Helen, the
guy who's gonna finish outside the top seven or eight,
has been an unbelievable compliment, and that's been Derek hen
reed to what Baltimore's done this year, So he's right
about Barkley, and I too, as much as I love
Bregman do Now let's get the business. The brass tacks
the business. Yeah, he ain't get any more money out
(31:03):
of me. They went out there, they put their offer
on the table. He went out and realize the market's
not as ripe as they thought. So now it's just
like the offer is there and they may have taken
money off. I don't know if they've taken any money
off the table. Even if they didn't, if he's not
willing to take it, then you've got to be willing
to part with him and be happy about it. And
(31:24):
like I said, I love the guy. I do, but
now I'm talking from a front office and a business standpoint,
and at some point in time you got to you
gotta drop it or get off the pot. Now, yeah,
you just got to get rolling, put the foot down,
and then let's just go. Now the Toronto's back in
the fray, is it or is it pr I don't know,
But if it is, and Springer's there and all that,
and maybe he ends up there and if that's the
best offer, I can tell you one thing, it ain't
going to be. It may be two hundred million for
(31:45):
more years, and it ain't gonna be two hundred million
for six years.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
And I can take and I can tell you what
if he does. Let's say he does go to Toronto here,
they ain't going to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, And if they do in that division, they're not
that team. Maybe it's the final time we say, Okay,
they're not who they we thought they were the last
five years and they to the World Series. But this
team's been over publicized for years now. With all the talent,
they've been under achievers.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, they have every single year. Let's get to break
right here. On seven ninety some.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
More Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety where Astros
and Rockets play and Real Texans talk.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bring it girl, bring a lady who upgrades your luck
well and now Pine good luck the Pine Dog.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
So then we would set up a corner and we'd
put a put a table and I'd have a MacBook.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Did you put a like did you cover the table
and dress it up a little bit? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Yeah, And then we'd have two big ass speakers and
I have like a little led light or whatever did
you hold the nun set tier ear? I did not, Well,
I'd have a MacBook so on them. If you ever
used a MAT never mind, you've never used Why are
you saying, yes, I have?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Sean, dude, I what you have. Don't understand about my
computer skills. I do a lot not to let people know,
honest to god, so I don't have to do more
with it. I know more about computer things I think
I do at home. Okay, Oh, there isn't fair, I
promise you, because here it's like how now if you're
asking me, yeah, it's an expert. I don't even go
on to DC plus because because you're because you're waiting through.
(33:11):
You're waiting through. First of all, you got to go
through like forty four firewalls to get on this, and
then when you get on, when you get right, and
you may get on, and then when you get on,
you're not sure if it's you're on. You know what
I'm saying. So for me, it's like I got to
send it to my to my shots, right, Yeah, just
send it there, no problem.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
But I do like when it comes to the study.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Now, if you're asking me if I'm a technology wizard, absolutely, not,
but like ten years ago, I do more than you think.
You know how that like where it's like if you're
completely ignorant, you don't have to do it. I don't
know how to do this, Yeah, when you know damn
well how to do certain things. I know how to
get to certain places. But with this dude, you guys
can't get in this to load up his picture to
you guys have enough trouble with the way it's on
(33:54):
to even get him on the camera. Right, So why
the hell would I go on that when I can
do it? Why I'm just wasted minutes of my day.
Did you send me anything that great? Get rid of
all the spam? I don't need it. There's four billion
messages there. I guess what. Yeah, somebody else could clean
them out. I'm not interested.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
So on a MacBook, like you know, you have your
mousepad if you one of the first.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Things I got was because everybody wanted a MacBook.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
So on the MacBook, if you use three fingers pause,
but if you use on the times the mousepad, it'll
it'll like minimize and bring up multiple screens. What it'll
open up both your browsers that you have. So what
I would do. I would pull up to YouTube pages.
I would play one song and then I would bring
up the other one with that function on the mousepad
(34:40):
and I would fade them in and out.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Buddy DJ Lema time in this.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Birch, I had the house parties rocking dude and I
would play I would mainly play rap, and then I'd
play some country, and then I play some Wang Chung.
Then I'd stand up all I would, I would, I
would make the party get quiet. I sa up on

freshman in that that class too.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
Carl was a left handed pitcher for us, like we
we there was a crafty left handers. Crafty. Yeah, we
didn't have a heart thrown. Actually we had a heart
throne left in my sophomore year. He kind of faded
out though he had some arm issues.

pop Yeah, big thick guy. Yeah it was. He'd say, yeah, Gar.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
How if you didn't call him? I've always wanted my way.
I'm asking you, Edgar, why did you call him Gar? No?
I think it's from Puerto Rico, Nice, Puerto Rican or Dominican,
one of those. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, I'm getting
to know all the people that that in the Pine.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
That's what Hey. If you ain't failing, you ain't growing,
is what I was told. So take another call and
talk to biscuits. Speaking up, Biscuit Biscuit, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Hey, Sean.
Speaker 8 (44:28):
You know back in the day when I was at
the University of Houston, you know, you in order to
confirm the store, you needed.
Speaker 7 (44:35):
More than one store.
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Shine.
Speaker 8 (44:36):
I'm hey, I know Carl came in and he's trying
to chime in. I think a veil probably is probably
on the way to Carl, but I'm not believing that
you need another one. Find Yeah, I need I need somebody,
I need another dude to call it. Let you know
that Lima was actually DJ.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, we need uh yeah that he was that he
was tst. We need probably a second and third source
just to make sure that if we're going to talk
about we're not sending fake information out there, Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 18 (45:03):
DJ.
Speaker 7 (45:03):
And what what was what was it?
Speaker 8 (45:04):
What was the placeless like uh, some some jay z?
Speaker 7 (45:08):
What was so?
Speaker 14 (45:11):
This was?
Speaker 5 (45:11):
This was like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen something like that.
Now I played a lot of I played a good
mix of everything. I did a lot of Houston rap,
like Mike Jones, Paul Waller Co, Millionaires, Zero Slim.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
Did you guys ever ride Dirty?
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (45:25):
I played that. I'd fade in, you know, it just depends.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
I'd probably go from like uh Tops drop by Fat
Pat and then I'd fade into like Brooks and Dunn
but scooting people love.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I'm saying tough to get there transition actually biscuit.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
Back then, dubstep was massive, like it was huge back then,
So I'd mix in.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
I'd mix in a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (45:48):
Hey, and my one of my other teammates, uh Dustin,
who I just mentioned. He just text and said, I
can't believe your ass is talking about Winter Forma on
the radio right now.
Speaker 6 (45:56):
I said, can you call in and defend me?
Speaker 5 (45:58):
And he said, I'm about to have a classroom full
of team agers I can't damn amazing.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
One said he was too drunks think about this. Oh yeah,
I'm just a little too busy, dude. Yeah, Hey you
know what? Yeah, Hey, well we just had his buddy
Carl call and say, well, when I asked him, how
was he goes? Well, I said was he ts? He said, well,
we're too drunk to know. And now the other guy's
in class. I got quote air quotes in friend, you're.
Speaker 6 (46:26):
Over for two. Sorry you take one. It only takes one,
It only takes.
Speaker 8 (46:33):
We need we need another confirmation.
Speaker 6 (46:36):
Yeah, I'll work on it.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Hey, then I gotta get I gotta get some of
the ladies to tell me if you were pulling on
you're saying, all of a sudden the phone lines were down.
Amazing got quickly that shifted. Hey did he last longer
than forty five seconds? Well, I can tell you the
one time, Biscuit, what do you think about these rockets?
Speaker 7 (46:58):
Man?
Speaker 8 (47:00):
I would say this shining You know, I've always said,
hey man, we need to stay the course, keep it.
But if you can get dearon Fox.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yeah, but for what biscuit you are, you're one that
doesn't want to just run the floor, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (47:11):
Well, that's the thing, Shin and every you know you can,
you always want to. If you got a chance to
make the team better, you do agree. And I remember
remember in nineteen ninety nine, Lolma, do you know of
a guy named Eddie Jones.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
You haven't Ready Jones for the Rockets.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
No, he played for the lak I'm.
Speaker 6 (47:28):
Thinking I'm thinking of Eddie Griffin, Eddie Jones.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Eddie Jones was long and Eddie Jones.
Speaker 8 (47:33):
Yeah, it wasn't an all star, Sean, But guess what
the Lakers traded Eddie Jones because they had a guy
behind Eddie Jones and they say, you know what we
got just do on the floor, man, And they traded
a Jones in ninety nine and then the two thousand
they win the championship, and that that guy was Kobe
sitting behind him.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
On my point, I'm making Sean, that was my time
in LA right, yep, right.
Speaker 8 (47:55):
If you can make the team better, now, you got
to have a list of people that's untouchable, right, which
I would say Green Sangled and probably Aiman Thompson, but
anybody other than that, you can get the Aaron Fox
because I think when they make a championship run the
man Fleet is gonna be the point guard. You gotta
look at it, Sean.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Oh Fiske and I am that's my thing with all
those acid That's why I said at the end of it,
I said, now listen, if if he may. Udoka, who
has a great feel and talking to the front office, says,
the Aaron Fox not only will add us, he makes
it so much better. And you're willing to part with
something that doesn't disrupt the top edge of this team
like a shn gun and uh, I'm in Thompson and
(48:38):
Green right now. I don't have a problem with Listen,
I've always you heard me say on this show. I'm
always looking for somebody better than you. That's I'm always
active if I can find him. So, yes, the Aaron
Fox is a star. I just don't want it to
disrupt the front guys where there's a little ego like well,
wait a minute, am I not to start anymore that
they're able to adjust, because you know how young guys are.
It may take them a little bit to okay to
(48:59):
buy into what we're trying to accomplish. Now they're under roady.
So yeah, I don't have problem acquiring somebody as long
as it doesn't disrupt what they're doing now and it
doesn't take the top three or four at the top
of the apple cart, no question about it.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
But what's it gonna take to get him?
Speaker 2 (49:11):
You know, how many assets are you gonna have to
part with to get a guy who's who was a
you know, an All Star every year?
Speaker 8 (49:17):
I agree, I think the money might be the more
of the issue. It depends on how much, you know
money you would have to fork oundar right extending, because
you're not gonna make it unless you're gonna do it
an extended and.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
It's going to be a monster extension. Brother, you know
that it's gonna be dag ye, But.
Speaker 7 (49:29):
You gotta do it.
Speaker 14 (49:30):
Man.
Speaker 8 (49:30):
That thing about Fox shoint, I think the reason I
say he's a good shit because the one thing that
Rockets have trouble with it is closing games. And dearon Fox,
I think he's a closer the last couple of years
he's led the league and clutch pumps points.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Yeah, so put them all in his hand and hand. Yeah, listen,
if you can pull it off giving away the right assets,
not the ones that disrupt how they're playing with thirty
you know, with their thirty two wins already. That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm listen. I'll say it all
the time. If the Texas, if, if all of a sudden,
you could get as much I like ce j Statta.
They told me, you know, i'd get my homes for
a year or two, I would You know, you got
(50:06):
to consider things, right, I mean, I know we're not
going You get my point. I'm always looking for the
next guy that's better, but that's not gonna happen. Just
a little hyperbole, but I'm with you, man, Then you're right.
The following year, Kobe, you know now getting all the minutes,
and and Eddie Jones was the hell of a player.
Eddie Jones could score, Eddie Jones could do a little
bit of everything, and but the guy behind him was
(50:27):
pretty good, needless to say, pretty damn better. Kobe Bryant,
great stuff, biscuit. And we'll try to get confirmation on
Brian Brother. We'll see if that comes down.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
Right.
Speaker 6 (50:38):
Yes, you will appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
We'll get coming in and we'll also see if the
d Aaron Fox, if you can keep him out of
San Antonio with the right move. Here, my whole thing
and Biscuit's right. If it's an upgrade and makes your
roster better and you're gonna keep going with you going.
I just always am concerned with a star, will he
fit in. I'd much rather have Daron Fox and Jimmy.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
Butler, you know, I fit.
Speaker 5 (50:57):
I feel like the way that e ma U Doka coaches,
he's not going to put up with the bs.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
You come in and you fit the culture or you don't.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
That's it. And then with when you when you got
to re up him, it's gonna be it's it's expensive, Yeah,
because he's a hell of a player, that's it. I
always love great players. The question is what do you
where's the cutoff line, that line of you know that
says we can handle this move if you're a star,
add another star to it, or you can handle it.
And at the bottom of it, listen, there's guys that
(51:26):
are that are good talent that aren't dearon Fox on
this roster. Right, So that's what you'd have to discern
between the two hey Man triple Ley.
Speaker 5 (51:34):
When we walked in the studio this morning, did you
see any scratchers laying around?
Speaker 2 (51:37):
He scratch offs ticket. Wait, it's because I'm ballhogging them. Well,

Speaker 3 (52:34):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety Home Up the Rockets,
Astros and the best line up in Houston. Sports. Now
back to Sean Salisbury.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
All right, Sean, what are you hearing out there now?
Speaker 3 (52:51):
The Salisbury takeouts? Salsbury takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 5 (52:57):
Time for the stakeout here on the Sean Salisbury Show,
Seam Brown a Tripoli, Rockets Grizzlies eight thirty, The tip
off Tonight' seven thirty lunch batter right here on seven
nine of your home for Rockets basketball Texans interviewing two
more candidates today for their open OC position. The Houston
Cougars beat West Virginia last night in Big Twelve Conference play.
All right, we've been talking a lot of basketball this morning,
(53:19):
talking about these Rockets, the Cougars, Should they make a trade,
so forth and so on. Well, Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner,
They're always trying to tweak something, always, you know, adding
another gimmick to the All Star Game, adding a gimmick
to the dunk contest, which is lackluster to say the least.
(53:39):
He's always trying to do something. Well, Sean, listen to
this audio. My goodness, this is what he wants to
do with the time of games.
Speaker 20 (53:51):
And I'm probably in a minority as we get more
involved in global basketball. The NBA is the only league
that plays forty eight minutes, and I would be I
am a fan of four ten minute quarters. I'm not
sure that many others are. I mean, putting inside what
it means for records and things like that, I think
(54:13):
that a two hour format for a game is more
consistent sort of modern television habits. I don't think people
in arenas aren't asking us to shorten the game, but
I think as a television program being two hours, that's
Olympic basketball. It's being is two hours, you know, college
basketball courses.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
But why you like it? I'd say it has kind
of a little bit of a push there.
Speaker 20 (54:34):
Yeah, but it's such a dramatic change to the game.
I mean, I think something like that would have to
be talking more about.
Speaker 6 (54:42):
That's Adamsilver, he was on with Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Yeah. See, here's where I disagree with him. It's not
the forty eight minutes. It's the play on the court.
One percent. They can do the same thing they do
in twelve minutes a quarter as they do in ten
minutes that they'll do in ten minutes a quarter. It's
the way that it's the product. It's not how skilled
the players are we get skilled players. But if the
product says shoot three pointers, play no defense, and dunk,
(55:07):
that's what you're gonna do. You're you're a product or
your environment. Right, it's the product and the way you
do it. I don't know, speed up the shot clock
if you want to do something. I'm not for raising
the rim to eleven feet because people like and if
you want more offense, that ain't the thing to do. Plus, now,
all the record books in the history of mankind in
the NBA will have an asterisk by them because of
the disrupting of the time. Yep. So for me, it's
(55:30):
the product and there's there's other ways to go about it.
And see, the NBA is its own worst enemy. They
created the problem with all this. They created the problem.
They got away from what sports is really supposed to
be about. Competitive, good product on the court on the field,
whether it's football, baseball, basketball in the court, and uh,
(55:54):
they want everybody involved. You know what I'm saying. You
want better brand of basketball and your All Star games
embarrassing so that that the All Star Game at one point,
you know, used to be competitive. Yes, and that's not
the reason people watch. But yes, so if people's attention
spans two minutes. What is going from forty eight to
forty gonna have to do with it? And you know
why it is? He says, Well, you know the arenas aren't.
(56:16):
But I'll bet your TV network's are pressing it because
right now, if the brand isn't as good as you
want it, and there's these many talented players and it's
suffering for whatever needs a facelift is the facelift of
are you going to tune into a game to watch
forty minutes instead of forty eight? I'm actually gonna complain
more because now the two minutes left on that last
shot to make a run with three minutes to go
is different. Why don't we just have eight minute running
(56:37):
clocks like we do at the boys club? Yeah? Exactly,
the ymcaight s I see. I just I don't think
that that's the answer. I just don't. I don't think
people aren't watching basketball because it takes too long. When's
the last time you saw a three hour basketball game?
Not very often, don't You don't? So you get it
to I mean, so that's extra two minutes a quarter.
(56:58):
That ain't the reason they're not watching. It's all the
other stuff. I have yet to hear one person complain about.
Maybe there is, but the Nashal where it's like, yeah, man,
we got to get to ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (57:11):
Twelve minutes is too long to me, it's a reach.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
It is I'll tell you what. And I know they're
not going to do it, But wouldn't you like to see,
like we've talked about for a year, how these guys
would react without a three point line.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
You want to change the game and make it a
better product.
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Won't they have to play better basketball? Team basketball? There's
no three point line. I know it's not as excited
three but the truth is if they if you got
the three and all these guys are hoisting up and
it's not moving the needle in your NBA telecast, when
your pregame show with Barkley and the group is the
most important thing we do watch in the NBA. If
that's the way, then add that they're watching for the
(57:51):
pregame show and once the game starts, they're turning away.
That's not the way it's supposed to be. But it's
the way. I mean, it's it's not me. I'm just
telling it's just the way that it's in the numbers,
The metrics will tell you that. I for one, I'm
twelve to ten and silver. If he wants it, if
he wants it done, it'll get done. I don't think
it serves it serves the purpose of what they're trying
(58:14):
to more viewers and more attention to it. It's the
product on the court, not the talent. The product. Then
there is a difference and the way you're playing it.
There's other ways to make basketball more interesting. And guess
what it isn't going from twelve to ten minutes? Do
you I never complained about this game last. Now, I'll
tell you what's irritating. When there's foul after foul after
(58:34):
foul after foul, just like there's penalty and one after
the other. That lengthens it. But twelve minutes to ten
minutes doesn't do anything for me when it comes to
enhancing my ability to want to watch. That's eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (58:45):
Do you know the first year the NBA went into
forty eight minute games with twelve minute quarters? When was
it seventy nine years ago? Nineteen forty six? Why hell
are we tweaking with it, messing with it even even
just talking about it? Floating the idea.
Speaker 2 (59:06):
When Bird and Magic and Jordan and Kobe and that
group played, nobody ever complained about as a matter of fact,
you wanted a forty eight minute game. There was times
you begged for more minutes because you said, these guys
are a blast. What it's the product you're putting on it? No,
p you know that. I'm not putting in a blanket
statement over every team or every coach, but even guys
that are coaching their teams don't like the way basketball
(59:26):
is being played right. Twelve to ten ain't the answer.
I can get that at a high school game. Thanks.
I just I can't remember the last time now I've
complained about another foul. Come on, let them play. I
can't remember the last time I said forty eight minutes
is too long in an NBA game. Ever, I can
say this, And are they going to attack the rim
at all? Is anybody gonna defend? Yeah? I mean, I mean,
(59:49):
are you gonna Are we gonna seriously flop? I mean,
those are the things I'm talking about. I've never once said,
you know what, I'd like eight or ten minute quarters?
Twelve's too long?
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
Yeah, you know what, let's slice twenty the game talk
about chasing a ghost? What are we doing?
Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Why are we doing all these dumbass gimmicks in all
the sports leagues, bigger bases in baseball, pitch clock now,
apparently they're trying to float the idea of starters must
go six innings.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Okay, okay over.
Speaker 6 (01:00:19):
In the NFL, the kickoff rule, the overtime rule suck.
Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I'm not go on and on now.
Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
In the NBA, you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
Been going on for seventy nine years, sean seventy nine years,
We've had two minutes from m Yeah, seventy nine quarters.
We've had forty eight minute games.
Speaker 8 (01:00:34):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
I want to take it down eight minutes and I
want forty minute games.
Speaker 6 (01:00:37):
And no time have I ever complained? What have you
even thought about it? What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Well, it's the NBA, not much unfortunately, to enhance the
great talent that's on the court. And they said, dude,
there it used to be. And I love that. I've
told you about Yeah, dude, I love it. We talked
about yesterday. But I can tell you this. I don't.
I don't. It's not has to do with old head
or that dude watching the kid at Duke play, right, now, Yeah,
(01:01:03):
Cooper Flag, it's a treat watching these times. So watching
great players has always been a who doesn't want to watch
great players? Yeah? The athletes in this the athletes and
probos are stupid, stupid, good. I just but the way
they play sometimes it's eye rolling. It is eye rolling
to me, and it's because of the environment that's been created.
(01:01:24):
This is what we want. And they think that everybody
just wants one hundred and thirty point game all the time. Yeah, offense.
You know there's some people who've played that are thirty
that don't want one hundred and forty points, let alone
an all Star game in a regular NBA game. Yeah,
in forty eight minutes. So I just be barking up
the wrong tree. To me, if I'm the players associated,
(01:01:45):
I say absolutely not. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
I thought out of all three of the major commissioners
Roger Goodell, Bob Manfred and Adam Adam Silver during the
COVID times, I thought he did a really good job,
meaning Adam Silver of not cowtow to the people that
were like, oh, if half your team gets COVID, you
got to cancel your games. He said, no, if you
(01:02:07):
got five or six guys you're gonna play. We're not
gonna cancel games, We're gonna move games. I thought he
did a really good job with that.
Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
But on the other side of it, they shoved a
bunch of other political stuff down people's throat.
Speaker 6 (01:02:16):
And then we all watch sports.
Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I do. I watch sports to get away from all that.
I stand enough of it. On my TV. I watch football, basketball,
baseball to watch great athletes play sports and then coach
it up. I don't watch for you to for you
to give me a sound message on how I'm supposed
to do something.
Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
Yeah, and then you then you add in that aspect
of it. Yeah, and then you mess with then you
bring in the play in tournament. Then I'm sorry, I
have to play in? Well, yeah, you have a play
in tournament. You have, Yes, you have a play in tournament.
Now you have the in season tournament, which is the
second week of the season, and you've you've the All
Star Game sucks, the Dunk Contest sucks, and now you
(01:02:50):
want to take eight minutes off the game.
Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
What happened to and we got to go? But what
happened to? Just what happened to all these great players? Just,
I mean, nobody ever can when it was great, just
great basketball, well without the game. What happened to these
team with teams? Here's when you qualify for the playoffs.
If you don't, I know they're guarding against resting them
and tanking. There's got to be another way to fix
(01:03:13):
tanking other than adding in season tournaments and giving the
players more money. Yeah, to force them to play harder
the hell out of here, Adam Silver's got to be
better than this forty eight minute game to forty eight eight.
Speaker 6 (01:03:25):
Stupid, dumb ass ideal.
Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
Let's get to break seven one, three two, seven ninety
will also take your calls next on sports Stock.
Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Seven ninety were valid.
Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Ross is definitely still sleeping,
no doubt that you can pretty much say whatever you
want right now pretty much.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Rockets make a lot of people
feel that damn right.
Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
Good change of pace. Many Let's just hope it keeps
they keep it rolling. Start with the Robert, Robert, what's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Mon, gentle?
Speaker 9 (01:04:00):
I want this one sizzling up like a bacon pancake. Okay,
the Rockets are rolling. We're five games back from the
one seed. Head coach got the boys rolling.
Speaker 15 (01:04:11):
I don't want to hear about no darn Fox, Jimmy Butler.
Let the boys eat, and if you want to trade,
wrap up Van Vleet, Jabbari and all your first round picks.
I'm going after Stephen Curry twenty twenty six and that
big dude Kaminga.
Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
That's what I like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
So I don't know if we.
Speaker 15 (01:04:36):
Can make it happen, but that's the only trade something
like that, That's.
Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
The only thing I would entertain.
Speaker 15 (01:04:42):
Let the boys have good chemistry, let them roll. We're
almost there, I mean, coming from second to last a
year or two ago to now.
Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
What a What a turnaround.
Speaker 7 (01:04:53):
So that's what I got.
Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Appreciate you, Robert, You're not He's not the first fan
I've heard talk about trying to go get steph urry.
Not sure they'll be able to get it done, but
he's one of the best shooters of all time. Start Adrian, Adrian,
what's up?
Speaker 10 (01:05:08):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (01:05:08):
What's going on this morning? Trying to stay out of
the rain. So I wanted to get my call in
about the rockets. Sean, you'll enjoy this. I don't know
how many people out there are looking besides me, you
and Biscuit but when we played, but when we watch
them play defense, what does that remind you of?
Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
Gotta be old school basketball?
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Hush on, Oh well, it takes me back to when
Pistons and the Knicks played defense, the Lakers, the Bulls,
all of them. The names are one thing, but the
defensive ends another. Hell, when the Rockets were winning championships,
Elijah One was as good a defensive player as we've
ever had at the position. Got to play, you got
(01:05:49):
to play the other end, Gary Payton when Seattle was
compete I mean that it's that'll sustain it, that that
travels far better than being able to hit a jump shot.
It always does to jump out. You'll, defense should never
go cold, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 17 (01:06:05):
And I love it because I May has figured.
Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Out how to press the brink.
Speaker 17 (01:06:11):
He has bought back nineties defense basketball and it travels well.
And you can tell on the court. Teams come out
and then in that first five to six minutes they
take a time out.
Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa woe.
Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
We wouldn't expecting this.
Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
It don't look that physical on tape.
Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
I love it.
Speaker 17 (01:06:32):
I don't think we need any additions, if anything, get
me a shooter to go with that second group off
the bench, leave this squad alone. And for all you
people out there that wonder why Alfie's so good, we
already know our men is another cyboard.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Y'all forget that.
Speaker 17 (01:06:52):
These guys work with a king over there at the
Toyota Center.
Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Look at Alfie's footwork.
Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Who does every mind you up?
Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Never had a big man with better feet than Elijah
one ever.
Speaker 17 (01:07:05):
Bigs Sean, they'll learn one day. For all your old schoolheads,
y'all know what y'all watching. For the new ones, this
is how we used to watch defense. There wasn't no
cry baby, there wasn't no flop. You're not bleeding, no whistle,
Get up and go play.
Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Thank you, Adrian, and let's get to Mic real quick. Mike,
good morning. Hey, what's going on? Fellas suck?
Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
I was gonna just chime in on maybe making a
change on see what y'all thought about.
Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
I would eliminate the three point shots.
Speaker 9 (01:07:37):
I get.
Speaker 12 (01:07:37):
I have a hard time watching coming down, watching team
shoot fifteen.
Speaker 7 (01:07:41):
Or forty from three points. Most of the time, it's
hard to watch. There's no there's no cohesive ness, there's
no plays run to get to get a shooter.
Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Or an open jump shot.
Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
I'm not arguing. I'm with you if you really want
to make a like wow factor and you want to
see how basketball improved. Like I said, I know, I
love the excitement of you're down too and be able
to knock down a three, and we'll probably never eliminate
in the line. But I'm with you, you'd see a
different brand of basketball that you'd actually have to run
plays and do it all in a half court game
(01:08:16):
or with no three where you can't just spot up
and knock it down. The one thing about it is
you can shoot your way back in in a hurry,
but it's not great basketball. And ten minutes twelve minutes
to ten minutes is my buddy ce send me investors
saying he goes. The only positive about that is that
you don't have to watch two more minutes of bad
basketball if you're watching it. So I'm with you. I
would love to just see what it would be like
(01:08:37):
in the preseason. Test it like they do in the
minor leagues. Let's see what it would be like to
play without the three point line, just for a minute.
I would love to see it and see how defense
and half court game and you know, low block and
good team basketball and mid range jumpers. I'd like to
see how that played out for the fan base, just
to see if it was worth the experiment. Thanks for
(01:08:59):
the call, man, great. Appreciate you, Mikes. Appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (01:09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
I mean, if you're going to experiment, do why not
do in the preseason.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (01:09:05):
You can play summer summer summer league.
Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Right, let's just see what it's like. Make it and
I want to. I wonder how the players. Now, the
players probably would hate it, oh, one hundred percent they would,
but especially for my basic Yeah, if you're looking for
a a needle mover or on one way or the other,
it's either gonna be awful or it's going to be great.
I I'd like to just see how it affected the game.
(01:09:27):
I like points too, but I also better basketball with
great talent. See how they see how the teaching goes
and out would be if you don't have a three
point line to survive, Yeah, you'd play better defense too.
Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
You'd have to yep seven one three five Seveney. We
will continue to take your calls on these rockets next.

Tanya Harding, beat Nancy Kerrigan in her legs or knee
(01:12:21):
or ankle. I can't remember the exact details, so that
she could not compete in the Olympics. So basically took
her spot out so Tanya Hardy could take her spot
and go to the Olympics because Nancy Carigan was better
and her crazy ass. Tanya Harding joined Twitter yesterday and

Speaker 5 (01:19:36):
But it well, it will be the top of the hour.
So let's get in the hour. Let's talk about these Texans.
We talked basketball for two hours. Time to talk about
the Texans. There are any of you and a couple
of guys today for the ROC spot. Who are they next?
Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
K Houston h D two Houston Ahart Radio station, the Rocket.
Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home Salsbray Hot, Okay,
let's do this. Sewn Salisbury.
Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Usc Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 5 (01:20:24):
Texans interviewing two more candidates today for their open OC spot.
We'll talk about that this segment. Houston Cougar's beat West
Virginia in Big Twelve conference play last night. They are
undefeated nine to zero in conference play. Let's talk about
these Texans. They're gonna interview offensive assistant Bill Laser today.
(01:20:50):
Laser previously offensive coordinator for the Dolphins, Bengals, Bears. He's
coached Ryan Tannehill, Andy excuse me, Andy Dalton, Justin Fields,
Mitchell Trabbill, a.
Speaker 6 (01:21:02):
Name I didn't think that we would see. Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (01:21:08):
He's highly regarded. He's got extensive background calling plays at
the NFL level. Obviously, he's had some offensive coordinator experience.
He's fifty two. He's gonna interview today.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
Yep. He's called plays for quite a few franchises and
has had some success doing it too. So I'm I'm
pretty anxious to see how that interview goes. They've interviewed
what so that'd be two offensive assistants in the building
for the quarterback coach, I mean for the offensive coordinator
(01:21:42):
job in Draw Johnson and Bill Laser. Today, there's the
Chip Kelly talk. And have they not They have not
interviewed him. No, have interviewed the offensive coordinator from Syracuse,
Jeff Nixon.
Speaker 5 (01:21:53):
Jeff Nixon, and then Tampa Bay Bucks quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis.
Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Sad Lewis, And what about are we still is there
any interest in the Rams assistant that's today, Nick Kayley,
Kayley and Laser. Yes, Laser and Kayler both today. Yeah, yep,
I should be able to find one. Some pretty good
names on there.
Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
And you've also had Nick Caserio and Demiico, Ryan's over
at the Senior Bowl. They've been scouting talent. So you've
got a lot of things going on with this coaching
staff and with excuse me, with Nick Assia, the general manager.
You also got to remember, Sean, they're going to be
on the lookout for a new offensive line coach. I
would assume that's coming after they hired the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Yes, so you would say, yes, I kind of can.
I don't want to say I approve it, but can
can endorse it with them that they're all on the
same page. I think that's important. It'd be a mistake
to hire the offensive line coach before the offensive coordinator,
especially if their philosophy were completely different. We asked the question,
and we really didn't follow up on it. But it's
(01:22:58):
something that and I had asked it and I didn't
push the envelope enough. What do you want an offensive coordinator?
What are you looking for? If you have some scheme
in mind? Grate, I'm talking about if you're a fan
in a caller, just a point of is are you
looking for? Aggressive you're looking for? We've had some people
talk about some of the names that were available. Are
(01:23:19):
you looking for? Yeah, I'm not looking for a specific
name unless you have one that matches what as somebody
calls in and says, I want Bill Lasier because I've
seen him here and here's the way he attacks it,
it's not even necessarily the name. What are you looking for?
Till you tell us what you're looking for, we can
help you with what who that name can be. But
what are you looking for for the Texans and understanding
(01:23:41):
Demico Ryans, what they're doing, where they were the last
two years and where they are now. What do you
want in a play caller? I know to score touchdowns,
that's the obviose, But what kind of what are you
looking for? And I'm anxious to hear what people have
in mind on a team that's made the playoffs two
years in a row and decided that that still wasn't enough,
(01:24:02):
which is a good thing because they're not settling. So
what are you looking for? Just as a play caller?
What kind of fill? I mean, what's your philosophy? Is
it play it close and win close games, rely on defense.
Is it aggressive? Is it? Do you do you want
to spread them out more, you want to run it more?
What do you want to do? What do you want
to do with the person You gotta take take into
consideration the personnel you're using.
Speaker 5 (01:24:22):
Yeah, I think for me, I want more aggressive, But
also you can't. You can't forget about your run game.
Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
And be aggressive.
Speaker 6 (01:24:31):
Yeah, so give me that.
Speaker 5 (01:24:32):
And then also, for the love of God, feature Joe
Mixon in the passing game. And also I think I
want to see a little more downfield threat. You got
Nico Collins that can do it. I'm assuming, I'm assuming
they're going to add another wide receiver, whether it be
they may try to go trade for t Higgins or
try to resign Stefan Diggs, whatever the case is, just
down more downfield threats, down on more vertical, vertical passing game.
Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Thank you. That's what I'm that.
Speaker 6 (01:24:57):
Yes, more vertical passing game. I feel like they want
to this past year.
Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Yeah, I uh, and with a guy who can throw
the ball outside the numbers like Stroud can. You can't
just live there, but it makes all the other stuff
easy when you can attack vertically. Aggressiveness and it I
guess it's maybe an overused term, but aggressive for me
is is Well. I'll tell you you watched college Chip
Kelly's aggressive and he runs the football, but you don't
(01:25:23):
look at him. Think about how much they run it
and wear you down physically this year, and yet people
look at spread offenses just throw. You're not winning a
Super Bowl by just I mean, you got to run it,
and you got to be physical, and you've got to
have a mindset of physicality. I'm looking. I'm looking for
a coordinator and I'm also looking for one that when
the pressure is at its highest, his aggressiveness doesn't wane, right,
(01:25:47):
doesn't slow down. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:25:48):
I don't want to see this, uh, this offense.
Speaker 5 (01:25:53):
Get into the second half and start to play not
to lose rather than playing to win to get the
game over.
Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
Yeah, I just I just need and I need somebody
who what they tell me in the meeting room or
when they're selling me on why they should be the coordinator.
I need that to be who it is. And the
truth is, all you got to do is look at
the history of whoever you're interviewing. If they've had play
client experience, wherever their background is, if they've had where
they've been, is that's who they're going to be. They're
(01:26:20):
not changing whole heart, They're not going to change. You know,
you may be able to lessen the stripes a little bit,
but the stripes aren't going to change. If you're a
guy who loves to do a certain thing in your offense,
guess what you're always going to do. You just hope
that the personnel executes it better. Guys bring their philosophy
to the table, and I'll tell you what else I need.
I need a great in game adjuster as an offensive courting,
(01:26:45):
not pregame posting all that's like I get. I need
a guy that when everything goes to hell in a handbasket,
do you have a plan B in a game, not
before the game, in a game to where they're at,
and is willing to step outside the comfort zone that
this is what we do. But what we do right now.
It's not happening today. How do we find a way
to survive this and win this game? I got to
(01:27:06):
get out of my comfort zone. I need a guy
who's willing to be a great in game adjuster. And
that's not hard. I mean, that's hard to do. But
when you find it, you gotta latch onto it. Yeah,
that guy, whoever that is.
Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
In twenty twenty, Bill Laser was an offensive assistant with
Matt Naggy in the Chicago Bears. Matt Naggy relinquished the
play calling duties to Laser, and the offense improved to
thirty points a game in the final six games after
scoring nineteen points per game in the games that Matt
(01:27:43):
Naggy called the place the Bears made the playoffs. They're
running back David Montgomery rushed for one thousand and seventy
yards and eight touchdowns. Alan Robinson caught one hundred and
two passes for and fifty yards and six scores in
that offense. So had some good, good success calling plays.
He's been doing it for a long time. He's going
(01:28:05):
to be interviewed today, Mike. My guess is that they're
looking for a guy who's called him before. Yeah, that's now.
Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
I may be wrong, but I I I'm thinking that
I don't know if they're going to go with the
guy who's never called offensive plays before. Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:29:58):
We had a caller, uh huh, yeah, his name was Kenny.
He wanted me to ask you guys. You know we're
talking about candidates for the offensive line, I mean offensive coordinator.
He wants to know what would you guys be looking
for an offensive line coordinator?
Speaker 6 (01:30:13):
Offensive coordator offensive line coach.
Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Offensive line coach, the offensive line coach.
Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
Yes, what would you guys be looking for candidates in
that souza?
Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
Well, I could tell you what I would look for
as one, accountability. I've been any good team I've been
on the offensive line coach has got a great mixture
of being a prick and protecting his guys to the
ends of the earth, and I love it. I personally
(01:30:41):
think this team needs some The two things that stuck
out to me is there's something wrong technique wise when
the simplest things are getting to the quarterback. Simple technique,
you know, I don't care. They can all bench press,
they can all you know, squat rack and all do
that stuff. Simple technique with footwork where you're stepping, you
know you're you're your false step, and it a guy
runs by you, your hands are in the wrong position.
(01:31:02):
A great technician, but also a guy who'll defend him
and hell, who wants to who put his hand in
the dirt for his offensive line. I need accountability. I
need a technician, and in truth, I need a guy
that when he works him out as nasty, that he's
looking for that trait. I actually just think one of
the the From my vantage point, I'm not in their
(01:31:23):
locker room on the praxfield. From my vantage point, I
feel like that nasty comes about eighth on the traits
of this offensive line. And if it's if it's only
one guy nasty, that's not good enough for eight, nine
to ten guys. You've got to You've got to have
a little more. And when I say nasty, I'm willing
(01:31:44):
to sacrifice a nasty penalty for a pre snap penalty.
Is that makes it not to a point of undisciplined,
And then it gets to real simple. I thought they
were undisciplined and and technique when you go undisciplined pre snap,
and then technique is questionable post snap, that combo ends
up in eight sacks in a playoff game. And somebody
(01:32:07):
who can teach in that room, whether they did or
not last year the year before, someone in that room
who can teach identify how to identify, you know what
I'm talking about, identified defenses and exactly who you're supposed
to block. You can go into a game with five
five decent solid offensive line without a star if they
(01:32:31):
all know what they're doing in continuity on the same page.
If they're mentally prepared. The physical stuff will take care
of itself. If there's some nasty involved, I'd rather have nasty,
a nasty guy who mentally knows who he's supposed to block,
than a talented guy who It's like a wide receiver.
You want a guy who catches it nine times out
of ten or a guy with four two speed who
(01:32:52):
catches it two times out of ten.
Speaker 6 (01:32:53):
But man, he looks good doing it. Give me the
consistency nine.
Speaker 14 (01:32:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
I'm looking for a line that just the truth is
we may not even know their names. I don't mean
that disrespectful, but we know who they are as a group,
and when we get to that point, then that this
offensive line will be better. So nasty proper technician at
each position. But I have to have them to be
able to identify whatever the conflict is, and I don't
(01:33:18):
think they've been very good at it. Even in simple looks.
Speaker 6 (01:33:23):
They struggled Sean with picking up a simple stunt.
Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
That's what I'm talkingbout im talking about elementary school stuff,
the simple stuff that everybody should be able to block. Now, listen,
if you're going to tell me that you got to
block Parson sixty five times a game, you're going to
give up a socker J. Sure you are. They're the
best in the bad but it's gonna happen. But I
can't get beat with a double team, right. I can't
let him beat me when we're deubal team, I sure
and saying I also got to understand when I'm sliding
the line, and that's why the quarterback needs to be involved.
(01:33:49):
I can't put my situation to where I'm sliding the
line and my running back is on a big It's
got to start from the basis is big on big,
and we'll work from there. But you've got to be
able to identify Steve Spagnola and what he's doing and
what he's done since he's been in this league. Now
I know he got you, and they will on a
corner cap, on a corner blitz once in a while,
(01:34:09):
they're gonna get you once a while. The key in
that one is not to throw it to the other
team and not to get stripsack, fumble and to throw
it away. Those are going to happen. You don't compound
one mistake with another, but they're just not It seems
like the visual understanding where Trouble's coming from in the
simplest way was not The identification was not good for them.
(01:34:30):
And there's too many free runners on simple stuff. Yeah,
I listen, well sewn, you couldn't buy. You're right, I couldn't.
At times it looks like I feel like man, I
like ca at at least get in a guy's way. Yeah,
you're right, but I don't play that position. I'm just
telling you what in talking to people who've played the
position and coached it and played it and coached it
far longer than I have that knowing what they knowing
(01:34:50):
what they expect, and what they've been on teams with
good offensive lines. Now, if you've got five studs that
are all the four of them are going to the
Pro Bowl, good, great take it. But I can alway
win with players who know who to block. Danny Green's
favorite will always real simple. If you do nothing else,
know who to get and how to get them sound
(01:35:11):
so elementary, Right, who to get that's my guy?
Speaker 10 (01:35:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
How do I get him? Proper technique and understanding? And
we always talk about you know, I discipline for defenses
so you don't get fooled on a bootleg. I disciplined
into the backfield. You've got to have the same I
discipline as an offensive lineman to know who people are
coming from distance and and if they lose one, they
got to do another thing, and who their tendencies are
and a gap. That's why I am such a stickler
(01:35:36):
for study, study, study, not study to where you come
paralyzed mentally if they don't do what you saw. You've
got to be able to adjust and and and and
adapt during a game. But I've talked about going in
you know that for the most part, unless they do
something different a couple snaps. Now it's just me taking
care of my business and being in the right So
half the half the thing is eighty percent getting lined
(01:35:58):
up right on defense and the other half is the
other twenty percent tackling on this It's is knowing, Okay,
that's my guy, and it doesn't Sometimes you don't even
have to stay on him long. Just give me enough
time the ball's coming out. I mean, yeah, you just
you just can't get free runners that are in the
backfield before my quarterback is Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:36:15):
I think there's obviously everything that you mentioned, and then
another part of like being a nasty guard or tackle,
just nasty offensive lineman a prick. How many times do
you see this season CJ. Shroud get knocked down to
the ground, knocked out of bounds? How fat How many
times do you see his offensive lineman hauling ass over
to help him up or to shove a defensive a
(01:36:36):
defender a defender?
Speaker 6 (01:36:38):
How many times you see that?
Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
If they if they if if I hope that's not
a deeper seated DNA thing, not with t CJ said optimally, yeah,
but that's bothersome to me. If if if it is,
and you go back and look, and you know when
you pointed out, we do it because I've been on
I've told you that I've been on a team with
a guy that they didn't do it either, and you
know they didn't have a lot of respect for his approach.
(01:37:05):
Does that make sense during during the weekend, in a
game day that at times they felt it was an
I confess he did it guy. And it doesn't matter
what level I'm talking about, it's just those guys, and
that's neither here nor there. I wouldn't want to ever
bust toss somebody because some may think quite the opposite
of you know, of that situation, but I am you
mentioned the nasty part of picking a guy up and
(01:37:27):
doing it, and you got to go into a game
when I got news for you can't say he knows
the Philadelphia's offensive line's nasty lane. Johnson's the type of
guy you were you were discussing Jason Kelsey when he
did play in Philadelphia, that kind of guy. I played
with him, fortunately at a lot of places, and you
have to have him and it can't be fake. And
(01:37:48):
I also need one of those guys, whether he's on
this roster or not, that the offensive lineman himself ain't
taking crap from the other four dudes on his own
offensive line, that he polices it, that he's the guy
says none, this is this is a way we're practicing
in a way we're going to get it, because there
is no way after watching this offensive line sustained consistency
or inconsistency. Should I say that when you watch them
(01:38:10):
this year, that you say they practiced great every week.
There's no friggin way we didn't watch them practice. There
is no way that offensive line was sound every week
in practice. There has got to be minimum of half
the games. You went into it as a staff wondering
if your guys were ready because their performance on Nobody
can practice great every week and be that at times
(01:38:33):
piss pour on a Sunday. You just can't. And it's
not personal. It's just fact and going in and knowing
who you're facing in an AFC championship game and it's
the quarterback too, or AFC divisional game, it's the quarterback too.
Understanding knowing where the weakness is and even if it's
not your fault to get rid of the ball, knowing
that there may be. You got to anticipate trouble and
the conflict, like I always say, knowing your offensive line
(01:38:54):
hasn't been able to deal with it much the whole year,
So that's almost another level which you got to deal with,
which is a bummer, but that's just the way it is.
But there is no way hints why they're changing coaches
and I guaranteed personnel. There's no way on that practice
field that you can practice great and play that poorly
or inconsistently up and down all year. It tells me
(01:39:15):
that on the practice field or in the meeting room,
some kind of accountability was missing. Yeah, it's a and
it's without even talking anybody. Well, the end result will
tell you that. But do you just you just can't
practice that poorly and turn it on. They're not good
enough to turn it on and on and off like
a light switch. They don't have four Pro bowlers on there.
So it tells me that something during the week. And
(01:39:38):
that's a bummer thing to go into a game and
you come out of the huddle and you're thinking are
we ready? Instead of no, this is a no brainer.
Eight sacks in a playoff game and in your facing Spagnola,
you had to know going in and I know they
got guys that are just better than some of our guys,
but you had to know going in that this was
not going to be easy. And if you didn't know
(01:39:58):
Steve Spagnola's moves before he did, then you ain't been
watching this guy run defenses that dominate in Super Bowls.
And until you do, the offensive line will will will flounder. Yep,
they gotta fix it. Seven one, three, two, five, seven

Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
She's a lame?

Yeah, I'm telling you there's somebody.
Speaker 6 (01:42:00):
Not finding Tom Jones singing it.
Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
All right, Well I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree. Okay, one
of those Las Vegas old schoolers sings this as it
covers this or sings it as well, different version anyway,
not important.
Speaker 6 (01:42:15):
Maurice Gibb has done. Gibbs a part of the BG's
the Wayland James.
Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
Let's see, it's really not important. No, we're gonna figure
it out.
Speaker 6 (01:42:26):
David Foster, It's.
Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
Really not important. It's not David Foster, one of the
great guys, the great musician writers on the planet.
Speaker 6 (01:42:32):
What Skylark?
Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
Maybe it's them good vehicle too old school vehicle, the Skylark.
Speaker 6 (01:42:38):
You know, hey, guys, we just had a caller.
Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
His name was one one.
Speaker 21 (01:42:41):
He said that right, every time that you start singing,
he has to stop his forklift because he thinks that's
something's wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
So he thinks he thinks his forkliff has a problem
because brian voice. Brian's voice matches.
Speaker 6 (01:42:57):
I think so, I think that is that's pretty good.
Speaker 21 (01:43:01):
By the way, we had a caller, his name was Richard.
He wanted me to ask you. We were talking offensive lineman.
He said, does Eric Williams ring a bell?
Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
So, yeah, he's talking about Eric Williams in from nineteen Dallas.
Now he's talking about Eric Williams. Was part of the
Cowboys Stepnovski and Larry Allen line went in Super Bowls
and he was a monster. Yeah, rings a bell? He
rung a lot of bells too while he was playing
ring my bell, Ring my bell, my bell.
Speaker 9 (01:43:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
I know all about Eric Williams and he was Sports
Hall of Fame. Who Eric Williams.
Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
Yeah, they it's like about the Dallas Cowboys in the
third round.
Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
The Cowboys dominated the line of scrimmage on a regular basis,
protected it, pushed it at the line. They were they
were phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
Well, I hope one's forklift's okay? Yeah, maybe he can
use it for that fat ass rapper.
Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Does he have one?
Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Two?
Speaker 8 (01:43:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Well, basically one saying is you gotta always like a forklift.
Speaker 16 (01:44:01):
Do you think do you think he called in and said, hey, man,
tell a Lima whoa.
Speaker 5 (01:44:08):
Andy's calling in? Probably triple triple? He missed that one's
hear that one?
Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Tripley?
Speaker 6 (01:44:13):
Just give me a thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
Automatically said, because his name's one, he's from like Esco, Yeah, Escondido,
Main streets.
Speaker 6 (01:44:20):
Do you know any white guy's name one?
Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
No, but I know a brother name one Juan Williams
who does the political stuff on Fox. You've seen him, right,
But do you know a white guy named one? H?
There was a he played in Maryland, was the player
of the year? One? Look who played basketball in Maryland
a handful of years ago? Did he win college basketball
player of the Year? See if I'm right? Because I
watched a great point guard at Maryland? Am I right?
(01:44:47):
Hang on?
Speaker 6 (01:44:47):
One Dixon?
Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
There you go? Juan Dixon was an All American at
the University of Maryland. Am I correct? Hang on?
Speaker 6 (01:44:54):
Let me do check?
Speaker 5 (01:44:55):
Yeah, see their wealth of useless knowledge? Yeah, I mean
the first video is Juan Dixon Maryland's best player ever?
Speaker 2 (01:45:03):
There you go? And well, Lenny Bias would have a
saying that if it wouldn't have happened before we we
we missed out on the great len Bias going to
the Boston Celtics because of a drug overdose. Unfortunately, Juan
Dixon was a fantastic player at the University of Maryland.
So but back to do I think Wan said, what
see triple you said? So he said, hey, Seawan? Did
(01:45:26):
Wan say, yeah, yeah, man, no, no, no, tough you

Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
Yeah, I hear you, man.
Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
Let's go coaching ten you man, had practice last night.
Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
A little more challenging.
Speaker 6 (01:50:00):
Uh uh my group, Uh.
Speaker 5 (01:50:04):
They stay focused, kind of lost deer in the headlights
when when I'm trying to, you know, coach them up
a little bit. But they I'll tell you what one
thing I have noticed about these guys, these kids, they
are coachable and they make adjustments quick.
Speaker 6 (01:50:17):
Well that's sign a good coaching.
Speaker 15 (01:50:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
I gotta be absolutely I'm not a really good.
Speaker 6 (01:50:23):
Really good group, is what I'm in all seriousness.
Speaker 2 (01:50:25):
Quick study, yeah, and pay it in and coachable. You
can win a lot of games with that, right Yeah,
oh yeah that's good.
Speaker 10 (01:50:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:50:32):
So it's gonna be uh it'll be a challenge for
me going from high school kids to tend you. But
I still got my high school group. But we won't
get going it till June's so I think I got
like for my high school kids that are freshmen that
have made the varsity. So that's pretty impressive for those
guys like it. Yeah, man, look forward to it. Seven
seven eyes the number to join Andy.
Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (01:50:52):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (01:50:53):
Find out how many of those young players you have
that were whoop when they were growing up? A pipe
on the uh common pattern there? Hey, I thought it'd
be good to put you guys on the spot. Let's
let's grade position players on the Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:51:15):
Okay, so you're gonna give us a name when he
want us to give you a letter grade? Is that
what you're asking?
Speaker 7 (01:51:19):
Yeah, hey, let's start with the safeties.
Speaker 2 (01:51:23):
Oh you want to you're coming up groupings not individual players.
Speaker 10 (01:51:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Yeah to me that that that's a are we including
Petrie in this and the whole thing when he was healthy?
Just the whole overall, that's a that's A for me,
a rookie coming in and doing it, and the way
Petrie was playing before he got hurt, that's a strong
B plus leaning into a minus. That's a strength. That's
one of the strengths of this team, Brian, I was
(01:51:49):
gonna go with the B.
Speaker 7 (01:51:51):
Yeah, I'm going to solid B. How about cornerback?
Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Cool yea, And they're just getting started. They're not an
A plus. That's hard that Mike Canes and Lester Hayes
aren't playing anymore, so to get to two edds an
A plus. But that's a solid A with what I
would consider right now, and I'm talking about young it's
the best young secondary in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (01:52:15):
Across the board, I'd say solid B B.
Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
Yeah, solid B. They got some talent. They got some talent,
but solid B. Still can get they still get better
in space covering, But solid B for me.
Speaker 5 (01:52:28):
They got exposed against the Chiefs with trying to gard
Travis Kelsey. So yeah, about a solid B.
Speaker 7 (01:52:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
Defensive ends as well, Yeah, with a chance, with a
chance to be off the charts. Yeah, defensive, I was
gonna say plus plus a little more stout in there.
But I thought they were. I thought they were. I
thought they improved. But that's got to be a little
more where you just you refuse, you know, like the
Chris Jones of the world, where you can dominate a
(01:52:57):
game from the interior, which they don't do enough with
are getting better. I thought I saw them. I mean,
I may even go to a B minus. I don't
think there's a grade lower than a C plus.
Speaker 6 (01:53:06):
On the On the defense, Edwards Jr.
Speaker 5 (01:53:08):
Andasi they both improved and that position.
Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
Will get better. Yeah, there's no glaring weakness on this
team defensively.
Speaker 7 (01:53:18):
Yea, and to.
Speaker 2 (01:53:22):
No no question about it.
Speaker 7 (01:53:24):
Here comes the fun part, uh D.
Speaker 2 (01:53:30):
If you're deeming blocking and receiving, that's a the depth
of it all. It's a barely a passing grade. Yeah,
barely passing I.
Speaker 7 (01:53:37):
Got I got a D minors us.
Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
Well, they incomplete simply because of the well in class
they do. You can get in complete if you didn't
finish all the work I will give you. Well, put
it this way, Nico Collins elevates the the curve high
Tank Dell potential, but injured we Stefan Diggs was having
(01:54:04):
a good season when they got hurt. So counting the
injuries and he didn't have those guys and then Mechi
and Hutchinson, I'll give it a B minus. But if
you took the upper part of it and they stayed healthy,
it would have been creeping to A to an A minus.
The top level guys are good depth wise brings it down.
Nico Commins keeps it up. I don't think they're in
(01:54:24):
the C category. I think they're better, all right. I
also think that Nico raises him up. I'd probably give
him a B just because of the injuries. It's fair.
Speaker 6 (01:54:40):
Give me an fyne.
Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
Well, here's what we're doing. We're holding the offensive line
back a year. Hold them back a year. Hold the
back of your brother, Solid B this year, especially since
the expectations for me were higher, Solid B. And there's
(01:55:06):
some things he needs to get better at throwing the ball.
Speaker 8 (01:55:08):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (01:55:08):
But the overall grade, I can win with him at
a B. But there's still another level he's got to
get back to. I think he was hampered. I think
he was hampered by the coordinator at times. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 7 (01:55:21):
I just think he needs to utilize his legs more.
And I think that's and.
Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
That maybe a coaching point moving forward, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:55:31):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
And you know, okay, well, what he's.
Speaker 2 (01:55:40):
Done as a defensive coordinator, it's an A as a
head coach considering Yeah, and I know, I know, I'm
just saying. So he's in charge of the defense, so
you got it. That raises the grade. I think what
I love about where I'll give him an A is
that they didn't wait around when the season was over
not to make changes, which to me is important.
Speaker 6 (01:55:59):
That he didn't let his friendships with coaches this is business.
Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
I would say the accountability and discipline factor dragged it
down a little bit this year give me A this
year B two B minus. But I think he's got
A written all over and moving forward. But now I
can't give him an A because he's in charge of
the whole team, and I can't give him a D
because the offensive line didn't get coached upright or wasn't
(01:56:24):
performing right. So I would say be minus with with
I think he and Stroud in a similar situation for
different reasons, both with the growth to B and A
and really be special, but B B minus. My man,
somewhere in there.
Speaker 6 (01:56:39):
We had to we got to get to the okay,
any great stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:56:41):
Yeah, continue that conversation if you want tomorrow too, though,
But we obviously know what the and forget the special
teams really good most of the time, but at the
end with the kicker, I don't know what happened under
under pressure. Yeah, they they disappeared a little bit this year,
which is not normal for him. No, they didn't.
Speaker 5 (01:57:00):

Let's start with Mike and they'll get to John. Mike,
(01:58:22):
what's happening?
Speaker 2 (01:58:23):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (01:58:24):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (01:58:24):
We got you all right?
Speaker 12 (01:58:26):
Hey, I really appreciate what y'all do. You compliment each
other very well and very entertained and informative. I had
a brother, a son in law not long ago, and
I was making a comment to him about a five
star guy coming out of high school and how good
he's going to be, and he goes, no, he's not.
Let me show you something. I guess he played it
with Ckinny. He was the linebacker captain of the team
(01:58:47):
years ago, went on to play it in New Mexico
and then quit. He just got tired of it. Bottom line.
He said, let me explain to you something, and he
stays showing me these clips of this linebacker. And this
guy was a fifth Beasts and he was fast, and
he showed me how he would misread plays, but because
of his speed, he was able to make it up
(01:59:08):
in high school and catch the guy and look great.
He says he will not be able to do that
in college. So when when Sean was talking about the
offensive line, and frequently he talks about quarterback sliding and
things that they need to they do. It gives us
such great insight on the things that we're ignorant of.
So we make a come and think, wow, the offensive
line screwed up. Well, it may be that the quarterback
(01:59:29):
just didn't slide feed or manage to pocket. And I
know I've been sport watching sports all my life, but
it's nice to hear tidbits from someone who really knows.
So we really I really appreciate that, and I think
everybody else does too.
Speaker 2 (01:59:42):
Mike.
Speaker 6 (01:59:42):
Thank you, Mike, that's a hell of a compliment.
Speaker 2 (01:59:44):
Thank you appreciate it, and for both for all of us,
we thank you, and I think for us to me,
it's yeah, you don't ever want to get inundated with
I wish we were on TV part of it, you know, Simonkass,
so you could see and what would be I know
we talk about all the time, Brian, but just having
a telestrator here would be so good for two minutes
on a segment. When you say, okay, here's what I'm
(02:00:04):
talking about. Now you can see it the visualize without
getting two x's and oh's dive in complicated. It's hard
for some to visualize. Yeah, but hopefully we explain it
well enough to understand we're talking about when you slide
the line and move it and put a you know,
like when I said slide the line and you're moving it,
you're sliding the line to a protection to your best
defensive pass rusher. And if teams don't do it right,
(02:00:26):
sometimes you leave a running back on a big so
it's three hundred pounds versus one hundred and eighty five
or two hundred pounds, which you usually don't want. But yeah,
we try to and thank you. And he's one hundred
of ride about I guess it was his son who
told him about the five star. Yeah, and in high
school you can get away with it. I talk about
that you can throw late in high school a lot
of times if you've got a big strong arm and
get away with it because the windows are so big
(02:00:47):
to throw to. But when you get to college, they
were all high school all Americans or they were all
dominated in their city, and the speed's different. And then
you get to then the windows closed, where if you
don't anticipate the throwing windows or the windows to tackle
a guy are smaller, but they are bigger than you know,
they're smaller than high school, but they're still not NFL.
And then when you get to Sunday, the tackling window,
(02:01:08):
imagine if you miss by a half a step, Mix
and puts his helmet right through your chest, or Derek
Henry embarrasses you with a stiff arm if you miss
by a split second. As a quarterback, the ball is
tipped now by the corner. Instead of throwing on time
and anticipated a completion, now you're throwing the coffee can
size windows, you're tackling in space. The difference you've seen
(02:01:28):
some of these throws these guys make. Like the bender
that Josh Allen threw over the weekend. I mean, I
don't know how you fit it in that it was
so small and you're a fingernail away from somebody tipping it.
But if you throw that a split second late and
don't pull the trigger, bam, that's an incompletion or pick
so the margin for air is so every year it
gets less. So you can get away being a five
(02:01:50):
star guy and out running people. But if you're not
developing the mental side and understanding anticipation of what you're
looking at, you'll be behind. Because everybody can run. We
are in an NFL's where Michael Parsons can outrun seventy
five percent of the running backs. It's crazy, right, So
when you think about that, So what's the answer to that?
How do you combat that? You better be You better
(02:02:10):
beat him to the punch, because if you don't, it's
a long day. And that's why I tell these kids
and you do too. If you don't understand the mental
side and that approach to it, and you don't take
it as serious as the FI we all think it's
going out there and taking a snap and throwing it.
You can take a snap and throw it all you want,
but if you don't know where to throw it to,
it doesn't make it doesn't it's worth a hill of beans.
(02:02:33):
And I had one quarterback who I love, it is
going to be a great player. He went to college
after a great high school career, came back after his
freshman year, and you know, the first thing he said
to me because I harped on it since we were
in the eighth grade training and he's going to be
he's got special skills. He said, you were so right.
I didn't realize how fast it moved. And the mental
(02:02:55):
side of just your own stuff, of all the motions
and formation and oh, by the way, I got to
understand while I'm running those motions what the defense is doing. Yeah,
And I said, it moves pretty quick. And his perspective
on how to get ready for a season is completely different. Right,
But you can't tell them all you want until they
witness it. And it's like, oh damn, he wasn't kidding. Yeah,
(02:03:18):
and from this level to the next level, you have
no idea.
Speaker 6 (02:03:22):
It's part of the failure and growth.
Speaker 17 (02:03:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
It's sure as hell is, and it's a good thing
to learn now because you can fix it. You're right, exactly,
you can fix it. Yeah, exactly. Seven one, three, two, two,
five seven ninety. What's up, John?
Speaker 9 (02:03:33):
Hey?
Speaker 22 (02:03:33):
What's happening?

Well do I? Yeah? If I've worked a bunch of
camps with with uh, with Larry, with larry'serline and he

of the best offensive line coaches I've ever had the
pleasure of working camps and stuff. With that, I love
coach Airline.
Speaker 22 (02:05:57):
And that's the kind of meanness this team needs on
the offensive line side. When you said meanness and toughness
and getting after it and he quit, baby baby, I
had to watch my mouth there, baby. And these kids,
these these young men, these off of these professionals you got,
I mean, they need somebody to put their foot in
(02:06:18):
their butts and quit being their Damn hey, let's be
best friends. Demiko, put your foot in their butts. I
know it's a beating, beating a dead horse, but that's
the type of offensive line this coach line this team needs.
As far as Chip Kelly, I don't think it would
work because it didn't work in Philly. I think he's
(02:06:39):
better a better college coach than he.
Speaker 2 (02:06:41):
Is a professional coach.
Speaker 22 (02:06:42):
I just think about what what he he did in
Philly with that all star cast that he had over there.
I mean, Jim Andy Christmas, that was crazy and couldn't
do nothing with them.
Speaker 10 (02:06:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:06:55):
As far as the.
Speaker 22 (02:06:56):
Super Bowl, I think Candidacy is and for a world
to hurt, because I'm not gonna be shocked if Barkley
goes for two hundred, I won't be shocked at all.
But I'll say over one seventy damn faced running back
like him, besides Derek Henry. Now I know they faced Derek,
but I.
Speaker 2 (02:07:16):
Mean, dude, there's more, there's more wiggle with with h
With Barkley, he can get to the edge, little quicker. Yeah,
and it passed receiving out of the backfields a little
different too.
Speaker 22 (02:07:26):
I mean, look out, he went block flying right past
Washington on that first play. I mean you said, half
a second, half a second, you're looking at the back
of a.
Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
Jersey and a home run, no doubt.
Speaker 10 (02:07:39):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
So all right, man, appreciate it. It is uh all
right today though, till you knock out the champion if
it's a one score game.
Speaker 10 (02:07:52):
I have.
Speaker 2 (02:07:56):
While I love what Philly has done, and I They're
defense is pretty solid. Their offensive line can move the
pile it Spagnola, but we got two great defensive coordinators
in this maybe the two best in the league with
Fangio and him, Steve Spagnola. I'm just telling you, when
it gets right down to it. I still got If
you give me Jalen Hurts offensive throwing like you did
(02:08:17):
last week, game will be different. But if if he doesn't,
if they can stop that, I'm just telling you, until
you prove to me today, I'd bet three peete as
we sit today at please know what they're doing. And
I know we get frustrated and it's a bit maddening
and it's we call it fatigue. But I'm just telling
(02:08:38):
you what you're watching is different. It is different. There's
situational football. There is no better on the planet than
the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though it looks ugly at times,
I hate it, I know it's it is Philadelphia. Barkley
has to play great in this game, but so does Hurts.
Is going to have to be pretty damn efficient.
Speaker 3 (02:08:58):
Yea is old.
Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
I can't City, dude. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 5 (02:09:01):
I just man, if there is a defensive coordinator that'll
be able to game plan against an Eagles offense that
has aj Brown, Deavonte Smith and Saquon Barkley and oh,
by the way, the feet of Jalen Hurts, it is
Steve Spagnola. But man, that offense, for that offensive line,
for the Eagles they are and that's like Detroit. They're
really not having Jason Kelsey a part of that right
(02:09:23):
This this team.
Speaker 2 (02:09:25):
They look for in this I can just tell you
having known him for a long time and watched him,
Spagnola is gonna come into this game. Now, he's gonna
try to take all your dimensions away. But the first
and foremost thing he's going to do is making sure,
no matter how they do it, that that running back
doesn't take over the game. And he'll think his chances
will go up on third and seven in the fourth quarter,
(02:09:45):
blitzing hurts. They are pressuring him from different ways. I'm
just telling you, I know, excuse me, they've got one
major goal aside from winning defensively, that dude's not beating us. Yeah. Now,
whether they can or can't, it's another whole thing. But
you you make that dimension. And here's the crazy thing
about it is when healthy, they may have as good
(02:10:06):
a one to two punch at wide receiver. I mean,
they're as good as there isn't a league with as
far as home runs A J. Brown and Deavante Smith
can play. And yet we're talking about and it showed
last week with the quarterback played. They were two dimensional
team last week. Can Say's got their handsful, There is
no doubt about it. And you've got to be careful
if you load the line of scrimmage that if you're
(02:10:27):
going to play man covered, you're gonna be relying on
McDuffie and some really good players to make sure that
Devonte Smith and aj Brown don't get off that ball
as cleanly because if you do, now it's one on
one and chances. But Spagnola knows how to get you
and you will see something along the line different in
this that if Jalen Hurts has a weakness, Spagnola will
(02:10:48):
find it. Yeah, he'll exploit the he and then it'll
be up to how the other side of Justin. But
I'm just telling you, until you excuse me, knock out
the champion. I have a hard time picking against them.
I've seen too much.
Speaker 3 (02:11:00):
I hate it.
Speaker 5 (02:11:00):
I've seen too much of it this year. I know
it's incredible. Seven seven Niney's number to join. Continue to
roll along right here on the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (02:11:10):
Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety.
Speaker 6 (02:11:13):
You want your Alex bregnant update.
Speaker 2 (02:11:16):
Let me guess, let me get let me just guess
and you can repeat it. Toronto's back into the mix,
and he the contract that the tech that the Astras
have offered that won't be enough. Are we there? Yeah?
I think so still hadn't signed yet. He's still fraigent.
They're looking for a Pete Alonzo Alex Beregman package deal.
Speaker 5 (02:11:38):
I don't know, I don't know, but uh so the
Blue Jays apparently back in the mix. And actually, as
of an hour ago, Bleacher report.
Speaker 2 (02:11:45):
Austin back in the mix. Cubs, so he and King
he and who Kyle Tucker. I don't know if they're
gonna call him King Tuck on the north side Blumber.
So they'll be possibly back together again. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:11:58):
And Ryan Presley all right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:12:00):
Ryan Presley was interviewed yesterday by the media and he
also said that bringing Alex Bregman up to Chicago would
be a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
Well you think, of course it would. I'm at the
point now, upgrades a roster.
Speaker 6 (02:12:13):
I'm at the point now.
Speaker 5 (02:12:14):
If he doesn't want six for one fifty six, put
your foot down and say thank you for your time.
Speaker 6 (02:12:18):
Let's move on. Let's focus on a left handed bat business.
Speaker 2 (02:12:23):
Hey man, A stand on it.
Speaker 5 (02:12:25):
You're being offered twenty six MILLI year. No one else
has offered you more reportedly.
Speaker 2 (02:12:32):
I believe that that has to be a fact right now. Yeah, Now,
somebody may end up offering him. Good, go get the money.
I don't hate him for it. No, we'll get the
money from him going get his thing. But you can't
be held hostage by it. No, No, you can't won
the you won the it's the old. Okay, let's little
bitty you won the here's I'm posted mind. You do
(02:12:54):
whatever you gotta do. Yeah, And they have come up
empty on the two hundred million, Yeah, meaning the Boris Bregman,
you know, part of it. So they're gonna have to
take less than they want. But does that mean okay,
I'll take less, but I'm going somewhere else to take
less instead of coming back home. It's going to be
a tough pride swallow if you do it.
Speaker 15 (02:13:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:13:15):
I know when we're saying one hundred and fifty six
million is a tough pride swallow. Come on, but you
in the baseball term, so of what he thought he
was gonna get, in what he's probably gonna get is
gonna end up being about forty million or more less than.
Speaker 5 (02:13:25):
What he thought if he if he comes back here,
if he takes twenty six million from another team on
a shorter deal with maybe some opt outs, if he
takes the same AAV at twenty six million a year,
do you know how much of a slap in the
face that some of these fans are gonna feel. Just
think about it, fam I'm talking from a fan, but
(02:13:46):
I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (02:13:47):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (02:13:47):
I'm just talking about from a fan perspective because at
the end of the day, it's business. Don't feel like
they were okidoped Jose Altuve. He is going to go
down as the greatest astro of all time. And that's
no disrespect to Craig Bigio or Jeff Bagwell. It's gonna
be Jose al Tuvey. It's probably Hosee tu right now,
to be honest with you, I think that the folks
would say so. He has been very outspoken about bringing
(02:14:09):
Bregman back from the jump of the off season. He's
also said publicly that he would move to left field
to bring him back. And then also, there are a
lot of fans that think the organization traded Ryan Presley
to free up money to try to bring Alex Bregman back.
You have the greatest astue of all time, and you
traded Ryan Presley from a fan perspective, and he still
didn't want to come back here.
Speaker 2 (02:14:28):
Or that money is to free up money for an
outfielder for.
Speaker 6 (02:14:30):
An outfielder, yeah, either way, trying to improve the team.
Speaker 2 (02:14:33):
And then to even take it a step further, not
that al Tuove would be thinking this, but you've gone
to the ends of the earth to want him here.
And if he leaves for the same price, yeah, dude,
it'll tell you that it didn't really matter what you said. Yeah,
if he leaves for the same price, let's say everything's
the same, No, optis, but everything's the same.
Speaker 6 (02:14:53):
And he goes somewhere else, it will tell you that
he was never coming here.
Speaker 2 (02:15:01):
No, he didn't want to come back, that he wanted
to leave for a change of pace for whatever reason,
scenery because why And I don't listen, I'm not big
grudge anybody for if there's whatever the reason is you
want to leave, you really you owe it to your
family first, and then you branch out, not the other
way around. It's not out in, it's in out right.
And the respect for fans and some of you know,
I'm wonder if it's not. I don't take it personal.
(02:15:21):
We go do what you want. But it would be
a you're on a World Series half team, you talk
about how much you love each town, Why are you
leaving for the same price? To me, that would mean
the ego couldn't take it and turned down and come
back here that you wanted to send the message, because
it's almost like there's some crow you don't want to
eat because you didn't get the extra forty some million dollars.
(02:15:43):
Why else would you not stay here? Now, if it
was a million dollars more a year and six million
dollars more over the court, I'd sit back and say, okay,
and the big scheme of things is it. But then
you'd also say, but it's still six million more. I
won't blame him if he leaves for this. I'm not
gonna blame him, but I am going to say they
(02:16:03):
loved him more than he loved them. And no offense
to the Chicago Cubs. They don't have a better chance
to win a World Series next year than the Astros too,
even with Presley and Kyle Tucker. Now I say that, now,
who knows how coming out of screen you'll catch a
hot do with the Astros, I mean with the pockets
have done this year with Tigers where they've elevated, you know,
(02:16:25):
like I get it, But it would it would it
would be it would feel like you were huh. But
like I've always said, if you really think that loyalty
in sports when it comes to going to a certain
place is because they're rarely do they take the fans
in the place before they take money.
Speaker 4 (02:16:44):
Rarely.
Speaker 2 (02:16:45):
That's just the realalistic part of it, because they'll just
say fans in Chicago love me too. It's not they
disliked the fans. But usually fans and area never take
the lead over money and years.
Speaker 5 (02:17:01):
Yeah, it's very rare that you find Jose Ramirez who
takes a boatload of less money to stay Tom Brady.
Yeah Tom Brady year and stayed there and for all
those years, yeah, twenty years, and you know what, was
never the highest paid quarterback in the league, and every
year should have been once he started winning super Bowls,
because isn't that the whole object of the game?
Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
Winning?
Speaker 6 (02:17:21):
Yes, and he did it.
Speaker 2 (02:17:22):
I mean the guy should have been the guy. Judge
you from his rigs should have been the highest played
player for fifteen years in football history, every single frigging year. Yeah,
but his was I'm gonna make salary cap easy on you. Yeah.
So some people are built different. If Bregman comes back, great.
If he leaves and it's not for more money or
more years, the fan base, there will be some that
(02:17:43):
are plenty offended by it. There's going to be a lot, Yeah,
but it'll teach a valuable lesson the athletes always taking
money in years usually, but if it's equal, that's that's
even like that, that's even cuts a little deeper, right,
because you're like, well, I thought he loved us, Why
isn't he back here for the same amount of money,
in the same money years and a chance to win
a World Series. It'll tell you something. And we wouldn't
know the reasons other than money in years, I guess, yeah,
(02:18:05):
and who knows what's going to happen, But they're still
shopping him.
Speaker 5 (02:18:09):
Yeah, ort, that's right. Yeah, And money is not required
to buy one necessity of the soul.
Speaker 2 (02:18:15):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (02:18:16):
It's what Henry David Throw said.
Speaker 2 (02:18:18):
Yeah, that's a great I mean, what an unbelievable get
by you.
Speaker 6 (02:18:21):
And being rich is having money. Being wealthy is having time.
Speaker 2 (02:18:25):
Well you want to do you make money to free
up your time so you're not you're not beholden to
everybody else, right right right, that's real wealth. Yeah, feel
me that.

Speaker 3 (02:20:43):
And we're Valor for the Sean Salisbury show continued.
Speaker 5 (02:20:49):
An American Airlines jet collided with an Army helicopter in Washington.
DC official said that there's no survivors expected. US figure
skaters among the passengers in the DC crash. Future Olympians
on that crash sixty seven. I believe we're on board
and they're expecting no survivors. There were some Russian coaches, Yeah,
(02:21:12):
Russian coaches.
Speaker 2 (02:21:13):
On on board as well. Yeah, yeah, but it doesn't
matter all of them. What a horrible well, what a
horrible thing to happen, and you know it, just nobody survived.
Speaker 5 (02:21:29):
At sixty passengers and four crew members on that American
Airlines flight, three crew members on the Army helicopter.
Speaker 2 (02:21:36):
I guess you ask how does it happen? Which is
what they're trying to figure out now. I just very sad.
Speaker 5 (02:21:42):
I it's it where we are with technology. It's awful sensors,
night vision, air traffic controllers, all the technology.
Speaker 6 (02:21:54):
How does something like this happen?
Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:21:57):
It's been reported that the Shawan, the American Airlines jet,
was five hundred feet above the ground getting ready to land.
Speaker 6 (02:22:04):
Landing gear was out. They're about to land on the airport,
on the tarmac.
Speaker 2 (02:22:08):
Yeah, I just I don't know, and I you know,
you always refrain from pointing fingers because you don't know
what it is right right now. I mean probably not
whose fault it is that the families are wanting to
get to the bottom of it. No, but it just
I mean a lot of mourning going to happen for
(02:22:28):
what was supposed to be just a simple landing and
going from what Kansas which talk to d C and
you think everything's going to be fine. I'm sure flying
into d C, you know, there's some beautiful visuals when
you go you know what I'm saying, all those things
you think, oh man, and before you know it, something
like that happens. It's awful, awful, It's awful, terrible. Yep,
(02:22:49):
sorry to see that that happened.
Speaker 5 (02:22:51):
Fly carried sixty passengers, four crew members, and that army
helicopter had three soldiers on board. And again the reports
this morning from Washington, from water Washington, d C. Is
that no one survived. Both aircrafts plunged in the Potomac River. Obviously,
you can imagine how cold it is up in the
Northeast and with that water. Just a terrible tragedy, man,
(02:23:11):
Just unspeakable tragedy late late yesterday afternoon of the evening,
and of course all the.
Speaker 6 (02:23:18):
More details coming out this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:23:20):
So looks like a President Trump is going to address
the nation in regards to this at ten o'clock this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:23:25):
So just awful, man.
Speaker 5 (02:23:26):
And then to come to find out obviously, it affects
the sports world a little bit with the US Figure
Skating saying that they're skaters were returning from a developmental
camp that followed the US Figure Skating Championships over the weekend.
You had a pair that actually competed in the Olympics,
and then you had some young ones that were gonna
try to get to the Olympics. I mean for everybody
on board, everybody involved, friends, family, just everybody, just awful.
Speaker 1 (02:23:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Prayers go out to them. Just terrible.
Speaker 5 (02:23:48):
It sure is oh Man, man, oh Man, not good
real quick with this Alex Bregman stuff. And I know
we've talked about it a little bit each day as
we continue to roll along closer and closure. We're official, Sean,
We're officially two weeks from pictures and Catchers reporting. Two
(02:24:09):
weeks from today will be the first workout for the Astros,
pitchers and catchers.
Speaker 2 (02:24:14):
Is there a party that thinks Alex Bregman has an
idea where he's going or do you think it's still
zero idea where he's going to play this late in
the in the at the party or did this far
into it?
Speaker 5 (02:24:25):
I don't think, I really don't. I think he is
and this is again this is our opinion, my opinion.
I think he is waiting for thirty million year from
somebody and he is not going to budge on it.
Speaker 2 (02:24:35):
How are you getting it now?
Speaker 3 (02:24:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:24:37):
Good question. Let Boris work his magic. If he has
what a two year deal thirty million a year.
Speaker 5 (02:24:42):
With or maybe a three year deal with two years
with a year opt out, like we always see you
from Boris clients. When it gets this late in the game.
Speaker 2 (02:24:50):
Somebody will give it to him. I don't do opt outs.
I'm just sorry to tell you. I just don't do it.
I'm getting you for a reason, and one of it
isn't to have you have a great season, turn around
and leave on me again. No, I'm adamantly against him,
and I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if it caught well,
if you don't give a player an opt out, you're
never getting him. Well, then guess what I'll survive without him?
One player ain't running my show. I'm not just talking
about Bregant. I'm talking about anybody. The crayon thing. I
(02:25:13):
was adamant and you know that. Don't give him an out.
I don't care. Don't give him an opt out.
Speaker 3 (02:25:17):
Just don't do it.
Speaker 2 (02:25:18):
And guess what they didn't somebody else did. That's fine,
but there are certain things you got to stand on.
And I know you like business, but you got to
stand on beliefs that unless it's some special circumstances, you're
give an opt out. I just wouldn't do it. I'm
signing you because I want you with us. I'm not
signing with you to have a great season and use it.
It's like the old days when talked about you know
(02:25:41):
when even til when Fatina came in here. Remember when
University of Houston they got tired of coaches using them
as a bridge. And he said, no, this isn't a
bridge program anymore to get to a bigger program. This
is one you come want to stay at. And we've
seen that in hoops and you know, hopefully Willie Fritz
is here for a long time. And it's the same
thing here. I'm not your bridge after you kick to
ask for us and read and you're good, I'm not
(02:26:02):
your bridge to have you do that and then turn
around and leave the next year. You don't get that
opt out ability. I won't do it. If our offer's
not good enough, you got to go somewhere else, whether
it's Bregman or anybody else. So, and there's certain things
you know that I'm not real flexible on that. I'm flexible,
and a lot of stuff not on that I wouldn't
do opt outs man, That's right. I just wouldn't do it.
Once you open it, once you got to do it,
(02:26:23):
I'm not into it. And I stand firm with Jim
Crane or Dana Brown, whoever. I'm not. I'm not paying
you good money to come to see me then turn
around and going, WHOA, well man, We just have to
have a great year and healthy for one hundred and
fifty games, and now you get to leave on me. Sorry,
not not doing it. If you don't like our offer,
then will negotiate. If not, then you're gonna have to
go play somewhere else, whether it's Bregman or anybody else.
(02:26:44):
So I don't know what he's gonna get. I have
a hard time believing that one fifty six being the
top offer. I don't have a hard time believing that.
But between now and then, somebody's gonna raise the stakes
fifty million dollars bidding against themselves more than likely. No,
I don't think that's gonna happen. But I don't know
what he's saying. I'd love to have him back here,
but I'm also a realist and saying if he doesn't
(02:27:05):
come back here, we're still going to show up and
you're still gonna have a chance to compete in April,
so have at it. Yeah, you got Paradis for a reason,
and you've secured if now what would really be a
bummer if you didn't have a third base when you
were like, well, we're play third base, and now we
got this, what are we doing now you're you're protected.
So you don't need to upgrade your offer unless you're
in love with him. But if you were in love
(02:27:25):
with him, you wouldn't have thought that you had to
get paradis to move him in the first place. And
they may love him, and he may love them, and
I love Bregman, but I also know that there's a
certain point you're just gonna have to move on that
both to move on or get here, and let's get
to let's get to going. So I thought the longer
it took, the more he'd come back. The longer it
(02:27:46):
takes that it almost feels like they're looking for a
reason to go somewhere else. Not not that they're saying it,
but just my interpretation of it is that this offer
is not good enough, and it would be you just
can't take it. So if you can't take but if
you're the Texans, and you are Texans, if you're the Astros,
and you raise it two or three million a year,
(02:28:07):
then you've given in flexibility is one thing.
Speaker 6 (02:28:10):
That's what twelve million across that.
Speaker 2 (02:28:12):
Would go fifty six sixties but almost a buck seventy.
Speaker 12 (02:28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28:15):
Now, if they did it and you were loved him,
I'm all for it. But if you're standing firm and
you're bidding against yourself, it's a it's a wrong idea. Yeah,
six fifty six, Yeah, so once about one seventy.
Speaker 5 (02:28:25):
Fourteen sixty eight. Yeah, if the twelve to fourteen million above, yeah, right,
I'm not doing it. I'm staying firm. Where I'm at
the market is the market man, like you don't have
to move. Look at these are the third baseman, and
if you're lose.
Speaker 2 (02:28:36):
Them, then you're just gonna have to hope that Parades
and the other guys, and you're gonna have to do
what you've done great in the minor leagues. Develop these
guys and continue to do it and count on trust
that they're going to get it done.
Speaker 6 (02:28:47):
That's why you got them in the organization.
Speaker 5 (02:28:48):
Yeah, I mean you have a very talented young core,
like like extremely the cam Smith kid that just came here.
You got Zach Dezenzo, Shay Whitcamb Jacob Melton, you got
a good young core, develop them and see what they
got and just.
Speaker 2 (02:29:02):
Go get a damn some point time, you're gonna have
to put him out there and say let's go. Yeah,
and I I'm and you know, I'd love to delay it.
Let Bregman do it. But a big problem that's been
great for the ashlest because they're winning, is young players
hard to break into this lineup. Well, this may be
an opportunity for somebody, even though Paradus is here, to
move around people and get a couple of young bodies.
Speaker 5 (02:29:19):
Yeah, you know when you uh uh talk about the
paradist thing. If if you don't bring Bregman back, well,
then Praide is your third basement on how two days
of the second then you got to.
Speaker 6 (02:29:27):
Go upgrade the outfield.
Speaker 2 (02:29:28):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (02:29:29):
So that should be the focus. All right, let's get
into the final second. Got some news from arch Manning
in the University of Texas.
Speaker 6 (02:29:33):
What's that about?
Speaker 3 (02:29:36):
This is the Sean Salisbury showful.
Speaker 2 (02:29:43):
This is Brandon Smith.
Speaker 6 (02:29:45):
I don't know if last name I say, damn, Brando's
on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (02:29:48):
And I and I like Brandon's point here and and
I'm and I don't think he means it personal, but
I think he's to the to who he's talking about.
But I think he's fought on. To be honest, I'm
tired of hearing about Bregman. I think a lot of
people are fatigued with this. I think so one way
or the I think it went to the point that
(02:30:08):
if you were sitting on the fence, you're like, enough,
just make a decision. If you love it, you say
we got to have them or we can't win. There's
that group and then there's the group that we've heard
a lot here, Let's try to move on, move young, play,
let's let's go and the questions, which one is production wise,
he's going to have to be better offensively, right mm hmm.
And I think he's you know, we know he's got
great ability. I'd love to have him here. But I
(02:30:29):
understand the fatigue of the constant. I mean, we have
to talk about it because he's been an integral part
of this relationship here with the Astros and their success.
But there also comes a point where's like, okay, enough
one way or the other, right, Yeah, but it's his career,
and I think most people don't want to hear. And
(02:30:54):
I know that sports are different when it comes to
money and salary and all it. They just are. It's
not normal all the money, and I get it, and
I don't begrudge. I'm not getting anybody's wallet. But I
do know this. It's hard for the average fan to
see how you're still haggling over twenty six to twenty
eight million when you're making one hundred and fifty six
million for six years. Yeah, and in truth, your production's
(02:31:16):
gone down offensively. Yes, I think that's where the fans
are having trouble, and I don't blame them. Plus, you
don't get going until June, right, you hit defensive, we're
hitting two sixty five in a force. I mean, now
you're hitting better. But those two months show up in
the numbers at the end obviously. And he's, like I said,
a really good player. But I do get the fatigue
by fans. They're tired of it.
Speaker 12 (02:31:37):
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:31:38):
And I think Brandon Smith is spot on one way
or the other.
Speaker 6 (02:31:41):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with him. Real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:31:43):
Some news from arch Manning, Texas quarterback sign an NIL
deal with Red Bull. Yeah, six point six million of
nil evaluation with all of his nil.
Speaker 2 (02:31:59):
Deals tough, So he's at six point six right now
with all of his Yeah, it's good, good, good to
be him.
Speaker 6 (02:32:07):
How much money you think you would have made an
n I O in your career in college?
Speaker 15 (02:32:11):
Yes? On?
Speaker 6 (02:32:12):
Were you there at USC three years?
Speaker 10 (02:32:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:32:15):
Nobody left early then? Oh that's right, okay, because you
were allegedly you know, well I was used to making money. Well, yeah,
allegedly no, no off trickt sales. Yeah, exactly, That's what
I'm talking about, allegedly. Do you want me to be
it sounds area you ask me if you took the
on put it this way, if you took the number
one recruit going now, that's what I'm saying, like you
(02:32:35):
applied it to when I was the number one recruit number.
Speaker 6 (02:32:38):
The fact you don't mean it arrogant, it is.
Speaker 3 (02:32:40):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (02:32:43):
Well, if you applied it to the money now, yeah,
ten mil, well I'd be making more than arch Manning.
Speaker 6 (02:32:52):
Yeah, twelve mil.
Speaker 2 (02:32:55):
It would be double, it would be it would be
it would be eight figures. How much do you remember
a three sport athlete as well? Yeah, because you could
double dip in other sports. Was the number one recruit
in the country, and at that point, at six five two,
you know, and then when you're sophomore before you get hurt,
you're leading the nation and passing and we got the top.
(02:33:15):
So yeah, it would have been. Put it this way,
i'd have made judging from when I made it coming
out and blowing out my knee and being a free agent,
I would have made more in my NIL career than
I did first six seven in one year. In NIL
first six or seven years, I probably did total in
my NFL career until you got to you know, when
you getting gold because at that point salaries have changed
(02:33:37):
over right, But oh yeah, it would have been eight figures.
Speaker 6 (02:33:40):
How much do you think Johnny Manziel would have.
Speaker 2 (02:33:42):
Made coming out of school? Not much because he wasn't
highly recruited. Yeah, after his Heisman Trophy year and leading
into when Johnny football came around. Big if you could
all the jury he'd have made, that had have been
an eight figure deal as well. Tim Tebow because of
what he not that Arch isn't going to get it
arts because there's sore. They pick and choose their deals rightfully.
So the MANU fans got such great perspective. Who else
(02:34:04):
did you say, Tim coming out of school while he
was there? Yeah, what I'm talking about. I mean national championships,
Heisman Trophy, wholesome, a lot of money, A lot of money.
So it's not just when you're coming out now because
of high school. It's when you're there and then while
you're standing in and you're dominating while you're there. Oh yeah,
he'd have made a bundle.
Speaker 5 (02:34:23):
Do you think Tim Tebow You don't have to answer this,
but well I'll answer. Do you think Tim Tebow took
money while he was at Florida?
Speaker 2 (02:34:30):
I think Tim Tebow only in the legal way. I
believe he was about as wholesome as you think he was.
Speaker 6 (02:34:38):
Really. I do you don't think there's any part, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:34:40):
May baby sell a ticket where he goes out and
somebody gives them a littlection?
Speaker 14 (02:34:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:34:43):
Yeah, yeah. But do I think he was taking hand
to hand cash? I don't. I don't think a guy
can live by those standards because he feels like he's
at peace. I don't think he can live by the
not saying it was right or wrong. I just think
that his from my vantage point and having met him,
his morals and values. I think. Do I think that
if it was a way to put it in a
trust where he could have got do. I think he
somebody just hand him hand to hand cash like the
(02:35:04):
you know, the handshake like Johnny Manzil was doing. I
think he probably would have said, hold on to that,
catch me when it's when I'm allowed.
Speaker 11 (02:35:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35:09):
I think he'd probably been pretty fair with that. It's craziness,
isn't it. But he'd have made a lot of money
if if it was legal to take money when he
played well, I think about it, trust me when it's
pizzas would have there have been a lot of people
eating good in my college if I'd have been on
nil with my teammates because I had probably been the
(02:35:30):
guy outside of my family, my mom and dad, they
wouldn't expect anything. To give it to them. I would
have them first. Yeah. Family. My teammates would have friggin
loved me because I bought them. But my al linement
would have been driving cars out of my salary in
college because I would have been like, I don't care,
I'll make more money some other time. Take care of
the fellows because they take care of me.
Speaker 6 (02:35:47):
What was the rich man car back then?
Speaker 2 (02:35:49):
Oh, you know, like the BMW's and Mercedes, the BMW
convertibles and go home.
Speaker 5 (02:35:54):
For a week during the holidays and you pull up
in your parents driveway driving a Mercedes Like.
Speaker 2 (02:35:59):
What the yeah, my dad, right, I wouldn't have been
driving a Chevy Love pick up mini pick up. Okay,
plus on on Sunset Boulevard with Tony Katain.
Speaker 9 (02:36:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:36:10):
No, actually I've never no, never, never did. But it's
not Tony. It's Tawny. But that being said, rest in peace,
Rest in peace. I will tell you this though. My
my teammates, Yeah, I would have thought it was the
coolest bad I mean because I would. I would have
spent all my money on outside of on them. I
really would have, because we'd have had the greatest and
I'd have to like spring break for spring practice, they said,
(02:36:32):
sev sev s whatever the truck was for them, because
half the reason you got that money is because those
dudes played better football. We can't lose sight of that.
So they would have never They would have never had
to worry about the beer and food they were eating
while I was there, gone from favored ramen to steak
and lobster because and on me and not and not
(02:36:53):
one didn't care. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:36:55):
I love these guys, man, I still love him to
this day and miss them all and love seeing them.

you're close. Warmer, warmer, yeah, Jim Bob Cooter, I where's
(02:42):
he at? Okay? That's all That's what I want. You
know what I was thinking too about hoops. I'm kind
of my mind's racing did in the off season, like
over at Lifetime Fitness where you play hoops, you know
and stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Lifetime in the Woodlands doesn't have that. Yeah, it has a
pickaball and we don't give back.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
We don't. We don't give free pub that's true. Yeah,
so the gym with a hoop and unless we're good,
unless they're you know, it's free, right right. I think
that if shen Gouon goes there in the off season,
I'll dunk on his ass. I think that's just what
I'm gonna do. So you back him up in the post. No, no, no, no,
you just get back. I don't even take him to
(03:17):
the low block. I'm taking him a low block, drop
step and cup dunk on him basement. But I'm just
thinking about taking the ball out catch, take him off
the dribble. I'm gonna put the ball in the deck
and I'm gonna go up and and and cup dunk
on his ass. He's gonna go up and contest it,
and I'm gonna finish at the finish at the rim.
(03:37):
And then I'm gonna stand over him, you know, like
one leg on one side, leg down on the other,
and just like stare down like.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah that's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, Yeah, that's what I That's what I'm looking for
you to say what I do it. And I'm telling
you it's gonna be a Tomahawk cup dunk too.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So he's gonna be in town. Oh yeah, he's gonna
stick around, well for once a week, like to get
that gym. Where's he from? Turkey game from Tennessee. No,
he's not. He's not Jim Bob Cooter. You don't go
to high school with Jim Bob Shingoon. Is he Lithuanian
or let's see hometown?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
He is Turkish? Turkish? There you go, there we go,
all right, So Garrison Northeast Turkey.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So do you think, yeah, do you think find that
on the map? Do you think that I'll dunk on
Shingoon in the off season?
Speaker 8 (04:28):
You do?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I think might even throw you an alley.
Speaker 9 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah. Are you basically saying that Tripley is like the
point guard because he's not like six four? Well yeah,
he yeah, you get six four small for a point
is how about triple Y? Yeah? Yeah, I think he will.
I think what I'll do, I'll come up to the
you know, I'll run, I'll come off the curl, but
I'll boom go back door cut Princeton style instead of
(04:54):
instead of a back door cut Princeton.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
In middle school offense. Yeah, the most boring basic white
guys off offense.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, but they're always up and shoot layups under the basket,
your back cut.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well, the reason why it's called the Princeton offense is
because they don't value you, because there are a bunch
of white boys that they don't. But they don't miss
a layup or a free throw to save their lives.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
They win their conference tournament, they get into that day tournament,
they make some noise.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Because they don't turn it over. They shoot free throws.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And you know, white boys, they've been out there, they
stand out the three point line since they're in junior
hide knocking down shots right and then and so at
the rim, they're not gonna dunk on you, but they're
gonna finish it to rim and they won't miss lip.
It'll be a three point play and they won't miss it.
They're shooting average for the teams, Like the twelfth guy
in the bench shoots.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Like throw line.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
It's like the most basic fundamental offense. Hey it's the
back cut. Yeah, sweet sixth and they do it like
forty times a game. You still can't cover it for Hey,
Princeton's now in the sweet sixteen and Prince Day.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's true, it's like you'll you'll get that. Well, yeah,
I don't think Shane Goodon wants any part of me
at that. Probably not. I mean, you know how that goes. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. So I just think that
was on my mind, thinking that might just take him
to the rack. You know.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I know it's still we're not even to the All
Star break in the NBA, but an all seriously, I'll come.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Off the curl from an alley up to what I
meant from triple He come off the curl boom and
take it back door and I just don't get hung
Oh no, no, no, ye you'll yeek yeah yeah, on right
top of it and with forty yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
The Rockets were thirty two and fourteen. They were five
hundred last year.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
They're nine games away from their their their forty one
wins last year. Yeah, and we haven't played the All
Star Game yet.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is one of those why I know you need
a couple days rest and the All Star Game, but
the truth is he just want to keep playing. Yeah, man,
the roll through that damn All Star winning when it happens,
and let's go.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
And I think I saw amn Thompson's going to be
playing in the Rising Stars Game. He's for the rookies
and sophomores.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's he's a rising Stan guy can play man balling
out of his ass right.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Now, thirty two and fourteen.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yeah, Like I we said last two years ago, we
talked to like what it would look like in the
next five years for the Rockets, and I think we
said a year two like of the rebuild, right, five
year with dokah Yeah, with the Doka I maybe get
into the plane. Maybe not, well, they were five hundred.
Last year was in my mind last year was his
(07:15):
first year?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Right? Was it last year year prior? I think it was.
Wasn't last year's first year as a head coach? Or
is this last year's second year? Is this the second year?
Is that already three years? Has he been the head
coach now? Three years?
Speaker 10 (07:27):
No?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
I think you're right. I think it might be his
second year.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Didn't he come off a because they had a horrible
didn't they go from I mean because that they won
that the year side has got fired.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
They were in the twenties. So or am I losing
my Or is this year twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four,
twenty twenty five, this is his third year?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What the hell can't be? You said, twenty twenty four
to twenty twenty five? Twenty twenty three is the first year?
Twenty twenty four? We're in the twenty twenty four season. Okay, yeah,
so second year? Right?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I was gonna say, damn, like, damn, dude, weird.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Because the NBA rolls over into both years obviously, so
look at his impact. Thirty two wins already and yeah,
forty twenty three twenty four season.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Now we're in the twenty twenty four Your twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Twenty five start in the fall will be his third
year this year. Two think about that impact? Yeah, I mean,
and you think about this, well, here's the irony of it.
Every single coach on the major franchises, they're in their
second year. Udoka to Miko Ryans just finished his and
a spot is in his Yah a spot. I had
(08:26):
him in the playoffs. Tomiko Ryans had him back to
back playoffs. Udoka went from like twenty something wins to
forty one wins and now got him at thirty four
wins or thirty two wins, nine wins shy of their
entire season last year, and we haven't played an All
Star game. Yeah wow. Now you think about all three
in their second year. Now, you look at all of
them and say that five four years ago, three years ago,
(08:49):
you could look up with Astro's roll and you look
at say, man, the Rockets are a long way way
and the Texans are a disaster. In a short period
of time. You've got three franchises, it our playoff franchises
in all three. It's weird because of the three right now,
it's almost as if the Texans have fallen. We talked
(09:09):
about a little bit to the third hole because the
offen the optics were not just not good up front, right.
But I don't know if the Rockets going to win
NBA title this year, but I can tell you what.
You don't want to play him in a long series
right now? You don't. And with the Texans, we know
they've got the basis of something pretty special. And the
Astros are just the Astros. They just keep doing it
and we'll see what happens this year. But it won't
(09:31):
shock me if the Astros find a way this time
overachieve it a year when most people are like wondering,
what's going on? They're real and are they really real?
In the pitching staff, can they stay healthy? What's going
on with Bregman which feels like he's now out not
going to be here right? And it just but it's
amazing impact the coaches and we've already had, you know,
Willie Fritz will be in his second year and Kelvin
(09:54):
Samson's obviously the KG veteran of the group, and they
keep winning.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
You know that that franchise, I mean they know then then,
right down the road man up in Huntsville. They bring
in Phil Longo. That football program has always been really good.
They just won I want to say, nine or ten
games this past year and they'll score some points. Yeah,
and Phil, Phil's excited to be back. I know that
for a fact in talking to him. So we got
some things and then you know, there's a lot of
(10:18):
different fans here. I mean, think about the thriving schools
in the state of Texas. TC is always going to
be around. SMU had a phenomenal year. University of Texas
is a step away from being national champions. And now
we get the arch Manning introduction Baylor, I think we'll
start to rebuild this thing.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right. The University of Houston. We talked about Willie Fritz.
He gets his people into proper recruits and he's just
he's been successful too long, not right, And then that's
just the the culture he creates wherever he goes. They
just went and look at Tulane now and handed out
they're still winning and winning big so because I mean,
he set a tone and here they are so well.
(10:55):
I underrated how the national media talks about just the
coaches and the city because I'm gonna tell you right now,
if you find five better coaches in America than the
guy we got college basketball wise right here, you'd have
to look long at hard I think about him, Bill Self.
I don't want to leave anybody out because you do.
I mean you start to think about it. I mean
Tom Izzo, the self. There, there're some you know with
(11:17):
no longer the Roy Williams. I mean, Bob Huggins was
always a phenomenal coach.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I mean when you look around, what's the head coach
at Auburn, Bruce Pearl Pearl uh is Buzz Williams still
at Texas A and m Buzz is still there. I
mean he's one of the the Tennessee's coach from tenne
Rick Barnes, I mean had his trouble getting to the
national championship, but he always gets him to the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You start to look around at college basketball coaches. If Kelvin,
if you get to number five and you haven't that,
that's I think we're doing him. But I think he's
better than that. Yeah, but I'm talking about on the
nationals cope because it's Houston, it's not a blue blood program.
Right on the nationalist coope, you find me somebody who's
impacted their program as immediate and lasting as Kelvin Sampson has.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
That's a short, very short line.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Stand in, Yeah, they played last night, actually you have
aaged and they won sixty three to forty nine over
West Virginia.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Once again, low scoring team doesn't You will not lose
a game if you keep a team under fifty. Keys
is college basketball, which plays a little slower through the
NBA but still this day. But the three point line
keeping somebody under fifty, it's not Virginia, because Virginia, you know,
God bless them, that team will win a national title
scoring fifty two and keep you to forty nine when
(12:26):
you know when they were taking care of their business.
So I just I love coach Sampson. We've got some
damn good coaches in this town. I mean, you look
at just that game that we're talking about. West Virginia
had nineteen points in the first half. Yeah, nineteen points.
Do you look at these other scores.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Auburn and LSU played last night eighty seven to seventy four,
Alabama Mississippi State eighty eight, eighty four. Then you add
University of Houston sixty three, West Virginia forty nine, Maryland
in Wisconsin. Maryland upset Wisconsin seventy six, sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Maryland go down the road. Maryland is on a friggin
roll right now. The way they're playing basketball. Yeah, they
just improved themselves a seventeen and five. Yeah, I watched
them on riekend, but playing good basketball. They watched them
over the weekend. They're playing some pretty damn good good hoops. Man.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Everybody except West Virginia scored fifty five or more points, right,
and forty nine.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And it's more on Houston than West Virginia, by the way.
They smother you and they're relentless on defense, as we know.
So you look at that, it's pretty impressive, man, Yeah,
pretty impressive what's going on. And we're fortunate to have it.
And now you just got to match it and championships
will come. But they sure have built culture here with
on the national scale. Our coaches in this town aren't
talked about enough, and they're damn good. I still want
(13:37):
to know.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
I know I vested a couple different times over the
last probably a couple of years, like who's going to
win a championship? First Rockets, Texans Astros, and if they do,
will it be in the next two years, three years,
five years.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Well, the team that seems to be rising faster than
anybody is the basketball team. I mean, I'm talking about
quantum leaps. I don't think people are going to say
the Texans now, even though they're loaded with great players.
I think you're right, right, take the AFC into it,
and the fact that we got a really good quarterback,
but there's like five that are better in the a
f C or that would be considered in the rankings. Right,
(14:14):
you start to look at it like that and you're saying, well,
they've got the ability, and I think the optics of
the way they played this year at times in consists
on the offense. Defense. You're like, hell, the offense, You're
like that kind of sets you back. We're worried about
the Astros offseason moves. I bet you the majority of
people might say the Rockets right now, just because just
because this this recency, by the way they're playing this
whole year, they've been consistently good. So the key is not,
(14:38):
you know, for us to talk about it, for it
w won't it be awesome if you're coming down to
the Western Conference Final the Rockets were Rockets are playing
you know Oklahoma City? How good would that be?
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Awesome?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
No, doubt would be bricked up the whole series.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hell yeah, we singing today, singing anybody singing today? We
probably will right every every day. That's a stupid question,
isn't it. Yeah, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I don't never really say that, but yeah, take a
lap dude. Yeah, I'm going to believe. Give me a timeout. Yeah, well,
that's kind of weird. You want to go to timeout?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Duval.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's that's one team that ain't winning it next year.
All Right, we got a lot to get into this morning.
Excuse me, uh, Alex Bregman's still a free agent. There's
a new team that's involved in the fraid to try
to get him. The Texans interviewing a couple of potentials
for offensive court as we're going to talk about next.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Who is Bill Laser?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Seven?
Speaker 6 (15:35):
One three, two five seven?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
And we will also take your calls right here on
the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Let's go call. This is the Seawan Salisbury Show.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Roger, what's up man?
Speaker 10 (15:48):
Good morning, fellas.
Speaker 11 (15:50):
I have to be I haven't been myself in a
in a in a while. Man, I was battling a
bug man, but now I'm better man. Uh so on
this on these rockets, Man, these rockets are boss Willis gets.
I'm very impressed about how their growth is sped up
within this last two or three week span and slaying
(16:10):
all the giants in the process.
Speaker 10 (16:13):
I've seen here hearing a lot of rumors, a lot
of rumors about deeron Fox.
Speaker 11 (16:18):
Obviously, Butler already went somewhere, but I really don't want
to mess the squad up.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
At least, let's just to see.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
How far this thing can go with what they have,
because man, there's a lot of young talent on this
team and I just don't I just don't see it.
And with a lot of more picks and a lot
of a lot of draft capital, h they have in
their back wallet. So I don't really see any kind
of any kind of unnecessary move that they need to
make other than maybe a spot up three shooter.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Uh, they can play some d I don't see a
deer in Fox.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
A lot of people are saying that the Deer in
Fox and the franchise and change franchise, changing the player
they can they can take a team to the top
and I'm saying he hasn't Orgy done that Sacramentals, and.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
I don't see it him doing, you know, anything more than.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Just uh, he's a good player, don't get me wrong,
but yeah, I'd like to I'd like.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
To have him go to Santatan. We can just beat
his ass over there.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
I just I just rather than happened that way and
on the breaking on the breakman, watch man, I just
feel like, what, how if you've not fired Scott Boris yet.
I don't see why he hasn't, because there's no way
he went through this thing thinking that this was gonna
play out like this.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
I just feel like Scott boards really screwed him over
big time. And now he's like.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
In a Roger, I got ten seconds for you, buddy.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
But that's it, guys, That's all I have to say.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Appreciate your field. You're a one hundred percent ride on
these rockets. I don't think it needs to be disrupt
Darren Fox the hell of a player. Yeah, but Roger
makes a point. Sacramento's had some decent run the last
couple of years, you know, a couple of years ago.
I mean, they've they've had some good players he's still there, right. Yeah,
So Darren, you're thinking the dearon Fox move like he's
(18:02):
looks like he's going to be.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
There is a big, big interest between deeron Fox and
the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And then he mentioned trade type of thing.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Jimmy Butler is he got suspended in definitely by the heat.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He hasn't moved yet, right, He's gonna try to get
the trade about it yesterday and you're trying to work
on it. But by what he's doing isn't exactly And
pat Riley usually doesn't budge on this stuff, right, And
and Spolstra because you know he's Jimmy Butler's just been
a pain in the ass. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
And reportedly dearon Fox wants to go to he wants
to be traded to the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Oh yeah. And so and I was sitting there thinking,
man that I miss him on Daron Fox and that
go on Sacramento all the time, right every week and
so and we've talked about the kids a hell of
a player, but at this point in time, you bring
a hell of a player in, you're gonna have to
get rid of a couple of hell of fied players.
So and Roger made the point of if it was
(18:50):
franchise changing and he's a hell of a play, don't
getting there. Sometimes a change of venues is a good thing.
Getting putting in with Webbin Yama will be a great
thing if it happens, and it there'll be a little
more and Popovich's group over there in San Antonio, guess what,
they'd love that because it gives him a couple more stars. Right,
But what you'd have to give up to go get
the Aaron Fox is not worth it to this franchise.
(19:12):
They don't need another superstar. They need a I mean,
whatever it is, you add depth or a role guy
or somebody, but they don't need Why would you disrupt this? Yeah,
if you could add to it and you knew it
was going to get better, But can you imagine you
give it and you take it the way we do?
Speaker 6 (19:30):
You think you're gonna get d Aaron Fox four?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The talk? I mean, I understand anytime have Kevin Durant's
name comes up and people still talk about getting you
know what I'm saying, the booker, the Durant, And I
understand anytime you can get somebody who makes your roster better,
but you've got to be careful that while a talented player,
but a talented player may also disrupt your roster as well,
even though he scores twenty four a night or twenty
five a night. And I like the Aaron Fox. He
(19:56):
is really talented, but not here. And you're saying you're
going to get a guy. Don't we have a the
Aaron Fox here? Potential? That's what I'm saying. So Fox
can play, but think about what you'd have to give
up after what you've built. And now you've got to worry,
well will it fit in? Will the chemistry, will the
chemistry continue to go the way to And I know
(20:17):
we use the word chemistry and culture too much as
we do, but the truth of the matter is walking
in and taking away from what you got and then
happen to somebody call and you know what happens when
another star comes in. When you think you're already a
star or two on this team, what's the first thing
you think of?
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Who's the star?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Which is right because of me or them thing instead
of an US thing? And so you don't want that
to disrupt it. Now you've got to be a grown
adult and say, okay, but is a d Aaron Fox
someone like that, or when we kept mentioning Jimmy Butler
to get him here, what it's going to take to
disrupt your role? I wouldn't listen to me if there
(20:53):
should not be a wow factor move on this team. No,
san Antonio, go do thing you need it.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
This team may need something, but it ain't a guy
who waltz in and automatically has to demand the ball
on a regular basis.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Between this offseason and twenty thirty one sean they have,
the Rockets have ten first round draft picks, including two
two selections in twenty twenty seven when they have swap
rights with the Brooklyn Nets and an unprotected pick from
the Phoenix Suns. They have so many draft picks and
(21:30):
so many trade assets, meaning those draft picks, and I
wouldn't even I wouldn't even offer them up for a
Jimmy Butler Aaron Fox. No, it's got to be meticulous.
It's got to be a piece that you, uh. It
has to be a non sexy move like what like
what James Click.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
You should do for the Astros.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Or you continue to you body, you save those assets
and you put them away and you're safe. Yeah, and
when you do need a sexy move, then you have
the ability and firepower to make it.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Then you got the emmy.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Don't want to force a square. Well, we got all
these assets, let's just make it. Put it this way,
the easiest way to say this, don't make a move
just to make a move. They were very judicious and
not making a move last year to trade Jalen Green
when people the first half of last season were thinking
it's just not quite working, and then heat like overnight
turned it on. I'm talking about the not the talent,
the consistency, and so they didn't do it. And sometimes
(22:22):
the best thing you do is nothing. Astros right now
speaking a little different because there's some things you got
to do with the rockets. I'm not sure. Now you
go the rest of the season, all of a sudden
you say, man, we could have pulled you know, our
depth on the backboards, or we're not fit, whatever it
is that you think as it goes on. If you
fall short you start, then in the office you can say, Okay,
we've got to shore up that the depth of this position,
(22:45):
or we got to get more out of this guy,
or more out of this guy right or wit more
you know the things I'm talking about right now. I
feel like you're forcing a square pegging around hole. If
you just make a move to make a move, then
they don't need to do that at all. Don't even
do it what it takes to give up to get
what you think you need for a star. I don't
think this team thinks they need that, though, And I
want nothing to do with Jimmy Butler. I trust Dudoka
(23:06):
and if he says we need something and he tells
front office, I get it. But is it really? Do
you really think they're starving for a superstar?
Speaker 12 (23:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Outside the building, No, I don't either. I don't think so.
I think they got a good use. You don't get
those guys. It ain't a free agency thing you're you're
looking to. You're good, You're gonna have to give up
assets and get it.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And plus you knew you were coming into this rebuild
and you're in year two with Ema Udoka as your
head coach. You don't just need to trade picks just
to go get a superstar. When you've been consistent with
your rebuild and you're watching your young guys start to
blossom right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, don't get rid of the assets you've you've trained,
yea built, and they've worked hard and buying in. And
one last thing too, is that it's not even so much.
And let's say you had to give up a bunch
of assets to get somebody you wanted. When that person
gets here, will they be rockets culture?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Will they buy in? Right? Yeah? So I just if
you once again, if you don't love it, don't do
it like and it's not enough in this situation, considering the.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Way you're playing, no doubt, seven one, three, two, two five,
seven ninety is the number to join. Let's talk a
little Texans football. They're set to interview two potential candidates
today for their open offensive coordinator position. Who are they
and what is their career like and what it's been
like in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Next, The Shawn Salsbury Show continued, I mean, look, I'm
not trying to have sex for eight hours.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Man, that sounds terrible. Well, that sounds a dude, you're
not trying to have sex for eight minutes?
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah, I agree, I agree that's too long.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Dude, You're hell for like three minutes though, Hey, man,
after you it's not her. It's hits me. Yeah, fine, yeah,
I mean for three I mean you're you're like Tasmanian
devil for three minus. I mean you'll get after eight hours.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
That sounds awful, five hours, four hours an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Then if you're if you're knocking the bottom out for
eight hours, dude, it ain't gonna be me that needs
to go to the hoste exactly. Yeah, it's an that's
all I agree. But then again, what guys say. I mean,
they got good recovery skills, man, man recovery skills. But Sting,
(25:13):
I mean, if he's bringing it, I mean, dude, is
he knocking down blue darts? I don't know. He's got
to be right. I had to have zero idea how.
I don't know, dude, he might just be built different
that the eight hours is an average run for him.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
I don't how do you stay like ready to go
for eight hours?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Call Sting?
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Apparently, man, how do you how do you stay?
Speaker 11 (25:36):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Of course he's been asked the question, what's the correct
t yoga santra guy? Yeah, he's like big into that.
He controls his he controls his lower abdomen. Okay, what's
the politically correct term for for what bricked up. You've
got blood flow, yeah, you can say that. You know,
you know this will help you with blood flow to
clear up your You got Clarence Clarence on the blood fly. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
And if you're having any issues with that men'st clinicnst
clinic dot com, which can't help social wellness, Yeah, there
you go.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
There you go as well. And I can't promise you
it'll give you eight hours of love like uh like
Stinghouse terrible. I mean Stings doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I will hold not.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
To get exactly seven ninety sat.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
Chris, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 13 (26:28):
Uh, hey, guys, we don't need another superstar on this
team from from somewhere else. We already have a superstar
on this team. His name is Amen Thompson. Oh yeah, uh,
I agree with you, guys. We don't need to break
up this Rockets team.
Speaker 12 (26:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Football.
Speaker 13 (26:44):
Saquon Barkley when he was playing against the Washington Commanders,
I was so impressed with him when he scored a touchdown,
he did the Barry Sanders just hand the football off
to the referee and he's telling his teammates, look, man,
let's not jump around in the end zone right now.
We got a lot of football to play. We're trying
to win a Super Bowl, so I was really impressed
(27:05):
with that. And and lastly, if the Astros still give
Alex Bregman that same six year contract they offered him
a couple of months ago, I'm going to be really
disappointed at this front office. I cannot believe, Sean that
that contract is still on the table. I believe the
Astros have pulled that contract off the table and have
(27:25):
offered him something else because the market doesn't justify it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Have a good morning, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Real quick.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
On Saquon Barkley, I feel like he got more excited
for when Will Shipley scored his first career touchdown. Saquon
Barkley was on the sideline. He ran, put his helmet
on and ran all the way down the sideline into
the end zone to grab Will Shipley later on in
that game.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, yeah, man, he made a He makes great points
along the way. One is I'm not offering him anymore,
meaning bregmant yes, yeah, when you get back to Saquon Barkley, Yeah,
I was fortunate, Marcus Allen. I never saw him spike
the balleting time, and I mean, you don't spike it
in college, but now they're giving a little more legue way.
But he's the same way, Barry Sanders the same way.
I've never seen him spike now enthusiasm one way. But
(28:11):
Barkley's been there enough, bless you to know that. You
know what his attitude towards it. Business is not done yet.
His dream wasn't to get to the Super Bullets to
go win it. Now he's gonna have his hands full.
I can guarantee you it's so is Kansas City's defense
with that guy. Think about like how freed up he
the Giants held him down. There was a point in
(28:32):
time when we thought Saquon Barkley was overrated, that he
should have been the second pick of this draft. And
I don't subscribe to draft picks this high at running back.
I can tell you this. Every now and again you
run into one, and this dude's one of them. Yeah,
his versatility and his his it's almost like when he
left the Giants, like I still got a lot to prove.
And some guys get fat and happy, not literally fat,
(28:53):
but you know what I'm saying, This dude said, there's
another level of my game, and man alive was he
not kidding. I think how many home runs he hits
on a weekly basis, It's crazy. The guy's phenomenal players
play the game and a great example. So this is
one case when a running back. You think about this year, though,
(29:14):
what what Derreck Henry's done for Lamar Jackson and what
this cat's done, what McCaffrey's been doing in San Francisco
with Joe Mixon added to this team, But you think
about the running back that's been devalued unfortunately for whatever
sal Rewisenkwon Barkley couldn't remember when they signed him with
the contractor it was a he accepted a lot lower lower.
But you look at his impact and Cook's impact in
(29:35):
Buffalo exactly what I was about the lead to look
at James Cooks done this year. I mean even Kareem
Hunt coming back to Kansas City to help when Checko
has been hurt and they the two man game. Now
look how far Cleveland's fallen when Hubb's not healthy. But
you stay, do you take a look at Henry and
Barkley this year. Sae Kwon Barkley's impact has been phenomenal,
and I just he's easy to root for. Yeah, he
(29:58):
really is, and he's proven why he should have been
to say, and now you're like, man, if we can
find that guy in the draft, he now I will
take him in the first ten picks. Right. Yeah, they're
not in this game. If Barkley's not on that.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Team, you could honestly make a very very strong, strong
case to give him the MVP.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Off the Eagles. Yep, they're not in the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
No, they're not. If he was, if it was any
other year, he's gonna be. I think they're gonna vote
him Offensive Player of the Year. I think I think
one of the obviously Lamar or Josh Allen are gonna
win the MVP. I think the MVP voting is gonna
go Alan Lamar, Barkley, Burrow Golf. I think the Offensive
(30:38):
Player of the Year is going to go Barkley. You
can't leave him out.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Of every ward's got to give him something.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
He doesn't have the ball in his hand every time
like a quarterback, and look at the damage he's done
when he has the ball in his hand. Helen, the
guy who's gonna finish outside the top seven or eight,
has been an unbelievable compliment, and that's been Derek hen
reed to what Baltimore's done this year, So he's right
about Barkley, and I too, as much as I love
Bregman do Now let's get the business. The brass tacks
the business. Yeah, he ain't get any more money out
(31:03):
of me. They went out there, they put their offer
on the table. He went out and realize the market's
not as ripe as they thought. So now it's just
like the offer is there and they may have taken
money off. I don't know if they've taken any money
off the table. Even if they didn't, if he's not
willing to take it, then you've got to be willing
to part with him and be happy about it. And
(31:24):
like I said, I love the guy. I do, but
now I'm talking from a front office and a business standpoint,
and at some point in time you got to you
gotta drop it or get off the pot. Now, yeah,
you just got to get rolling, put the foot down,
and then let's just go. Now the Toronto's back in
the fray, is it or is it pr I don't know,
But if it is, and Springer's there and all that,
and maybe he ends up there and if that's the
best offer, I can tell you one thing, it ain't
going to be. It may be two hundred million for
(31:45):
more years, and it ain't gonna be two hundred million
for six years.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
And I can take and I can tell you what
if he does. Let's say he does go to Toronto here,
they ain't going to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, And if they do in that division, they're not
that team. Maybe it's the final time we say, Okay,
they're not who they we thought they were the last
five years and they to the World Series. But this
team's been over publicized for years now. With all the talent,
they've been under achievers.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, they have every single year. Let's get to break
right here. On seven ninety some.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
More Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk seven ninety where Astros
and Rockets play and Real Texans talk.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Bring it girl, bring a lady who upgrades your luck
well and now Pine good luck the Pine Dog.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
So then we would set up a corner and we'd
put a put a table and I'd have a MacBook.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Did you put a like did you cover the table
and dress it up a little bit? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Yeah, And then we'd have two big ass speakers and
I have like a little led light or whatever did
you hold the nun set tier ear? I did not, Well,
I'd have a MacBook so on them. If you ever
used a MAT never mind, you've never used Why are
you saying, yes, I have?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Sean, dude, I what you have. Don't understand about my
computer skills. I do a lot not to let people know,
honest to god, so I don't have to do more
with it. I know more about computer things I think
I do at home. Okay, Oh, there isn't fair, I
promise you, because here it's like how now if you're
asking me, yeah, it's an expert. I don't even go
on to DC plus because because you're because you're waiting through.
(33:11):
You're waiting through. First of all, you got to go
through like forty four firewalls to get on this, and
then when you get on, when you get right, and
you may get on, and then when you get on,
you're not sure if it's you're on. You know what
I'm saying. So for me, it's like I got to
send it to my to my shots, right, Yeah, just
send it there, no problem.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
But I do like when it comes to the study.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Now, if you're asking me if I'm a technology wizard, absolutely, not,
but like ten years ago, I do more than you think.
You know how that like where it's like if you're
completely ignorant, you don't have to do it. I don't
know how to do this, Yeah, when you know damn
well how to do certain things. I know how to
get to certain places. But with this dude, you guys
can't get in this to load up his picture to
you guys have enough trouble with the way it's on
(33:54):
to even get him on the camera. Right, So why
the hell would I go on that when I can
do it? Why I'm just wasted minutes of my day.
Did you send me anything that great? Get rid of
all the spam? I don't need it. There's four billion
messages there. I guess what. Yeah, somebody else could clean
them out. I'm not interested.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
So on a MacBook, like you know, you have your
mousepad if you one of the first.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Things I got was because everybody wanted a MacBook.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
So on the MacBook, if you use three fingers pause,
but if you use on the times the mousepad, it'll
it'll like minimize and bring up multiple screens. What it'll
open up both your browsers that you have. So what
I would do. I would pull up to YouTube pages.
I would play one song and then I would bring
up the other one with that function on the mousepad
(34:40):
and I would fade them in and out.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Buddy DJ Lema time in this.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Birch, I had the house parties rocking dude and I
would play I would mainly play rap, and then I'd
play some country, and then I play some Wang Chung.

would make the party get quiet. I sa up on

You know back in the day when I was at
the University of Houston, you know, you in order to
confirm the store, you needed.
Speaker 7 (44:35):
More than one store.
Speaker 10 (44:35):
Shine.
Speaker 8 (44:36):
I'm hey, I know Carl came in and he's trying
to chime in. I think a veil probably is probably
on the way to Carl, but I'm not believing that
you need another one. Find Yeah, I need I need somebody,
I need another dude to call it. Let you know
that Lima was actually DJ.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, we need uh yeah that he was that he
was tst. We need probably a second and third source
just to make sure that if we're going to talk
about we're not sending fake information out there, Yes, yes, sir.
Speaker 18 (45:03):
DJ.
Speaker 7 (45:03):
And what what was what was it?
Speaker 8 (45:04):
What was the placeless like uh, some some jay z?
Speaker 7 (45:08):
What was so?
Speaker 14 (45:11):
This was?
Speaker 5 (45:11):
This was like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen something like that.
Now I played a lot of I played a good
mix of everything. I did a lot of Houston rap,
like Mike Jones, Paul Waller Co, Millionaires, Zero Slim.
Speaker 6 (45:23):
Did you guys ever ride Dirty?
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (45:25):
I played that. I'd fade in, you know, it just depends.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
I'd probably go from like uh Tops drop by Fat
Pat and then I'd fade into like Brooks and Dunn
but scooting people love.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I'm saying tough to get there transition actually biscuit.
Speaker 5 (45:41):
Back then, dubstep was massive, like it was huge back then,
So I'd mix in.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
I'd mix in a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (45:48):
Hey, and my one of my other teammates, uh Dustin,
who I just mentioned. He just text and said, I
can't believe your ass is talking about Winter Forma on
the radio right now.
Speaker 6 (45:56):
I said, can you call in and defend me?
Speaker 5 (45:58):
And he said, I'm about to have a classroom full
of team agers I can't damn amazing.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
One said he was too drunks think about this. Oh yeah,
I'm just a little too busy, dude. Yeah, Hey you
know what? Yeah, Hey, well we just had his buddy
Carl call and say, well, when I asked him, how
was he goes? Well, I said was he ts? He said, well,
we're too drunk to know. And now the other guy's
in class. I got quote air quotes in friend, you're.
Speaker 6 (46:26):
Over for two. Sorry you take one. It only takes one,
It only takes.
Speaker 8 (46:33):
We need we need another confirmation.
Speaker 6 (46:36):
Yeah, I'll work on it.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Hey, then I gotta get I gotta get some of
the ladies to tell me if you were pulling on
you're saying, all of a sudden the phone lines were down.
Amazing got quickly that shifted. Hey did he last longer
than forty five seconds? Well, I can tell you the
one time, Biscuit, what do you think about these rockets?
Speaker 7 (46:58):
Man?
Speaker 8 (47:00):
I would say this shining You know, I've always said,
hey man, we need to stay the course, keep it.
But if you can get dearon Fox.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yeah, but for what biscuit you are, you're one that
doesn't want to just run the floor, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (47:11):
Well, that's the thing, Shin and every you know you can,
you always want to. If you got a chance to
make the team better, you do agree. And I remember
remember in nineteen ninety nine, Lolma, do you know of
a guy named Eddie Jones.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
You haven't Ready Jones for the Rockets.
Speaker 8 (47:26):
No, he played for the lak I'm.
Speaker 6 (47:28):
Thinking I'm thinking of Eddie Griffin, Eddie Jones.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Eddie Jones was long and Eddie Jones.
Speaker 8 (47:33):
Yeah, it wasn't an all star, Sean, But guess what
the Lakers traded Eddie Jones because they had a guy
behind Eddie Jones and they say, you know what we
got just do on the floor, man, And they traded
a Jones in ninety nine and then the two thousand
they win the championship, and that that guy was Kobe
sitting behind him.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
On my point, I'm making Sean, that was my time
in LA right, yep, right.
Speaker 8 (47:55):
If you can make the team better, now, you got
to have a list of people that's untouchable, right, which
I would say Green Sangled and probably Aiman Thompson, but
anybody other than that, you can get the Aaron Fox
because I think when they make a championship run the
man Fleet is gonna be the point guard. You gotta
look at it, Sean.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Oh Fiske and I am that's my thing with all
those acid That's why I said at the end of it,
I said, now listen, if if he may. Udoka, who
has a great feel and talking to the front office, says,
the Aaron Fox not only will add us, he makes
it so much better. And you're willing to part with
something that doesn't disrupt the top edge of this team
like a shn gun and uh, I'm in Thompson and
(48:38):
Green right now. I don't have a problem with Listen,
I've always you heard me say on this show. I'm
always looking for somebody better than you. That's I'm always
active if I can find him. So, yes, the Aaron
Fox is a star. I just don't want it to
disrupt the front guys where there's a little ego like well,
wait a minute, am I not to start anymore that
they're able to adjust, because you know how young guys are.
It may take them a little bit to okay to
(48:59):
buy into what we're trying to accomplish. Now they're under roady.
So yeah, I don't have problem acquiring somebody as long
as it doesn't disrupt what they're doing now and it
doesn't take the top three or four at the top
of the apple cart, no question about it.
Speaker 6 (49:10):
But what's it gonna take to get him?
Speaker 2 (49:11):
You know, how many assets are you gonna have to
part with to get a guy who's who was a
you know, an All Star every year?
Speaker 8 (49:17):
I agree, I think the money might be the more
of the issue. It depends on how much, you know
money you would have to fork oundar right extending, because
you're not gonna make it unless you're gonna do it
an extended and.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
It's going to be a monster extension. Brother, you know
that it's gonna be dag ye, But.
Speaker 7 (49:29):
You gotta do it.
Speaker 14 (49:30):
Man.
Speaker 8 (49:30):
That thing about Fox shoint, I think the reason I
say he's a good shit because the one thing that
Rockets have trouble with it is closing games. And dearon Fox,
I think he's a closer the last couple of years
he's led the league and clutch pumps points.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Yeah, so put them all in his hand and hand. Yeah, listen,
if you can pull it off giving away the right assets,
not the ones that disrupt how they're playing with thirty
you know, with their thirty two wins already. That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm listen. I'll say it all
the time. If the Texas, if, if all of a sudden,
you could get as much I like ce j Statta.
They told me, you know, i'd get my homes for
a year or two, I would You know, you got
(50:06):
to consider things, right, I mean, I know we're not
going You get my point. I'm always looking for the
next guy that's better, but that's not gonna happen. Just
a little hyperbole, but I'm with you, man, Then you're right.
The following year, Kobe, you know now getting all the minutes,
and and Eddie Jones was the hell of a player.
Eddie Jones could score, Eddie Jones could do a little
bit of everything, and but the guy behind him was
(50:27):
pretty good, needless to say, pretty damn better. Kobe Bryant,
great stuff, biscuit. And we'll try to get confirmation on
Brian Brother. We'll see if that comes down.
Speaker 3 (50:37):
Right.
Speaker 6 (50:38):
Yes, you will appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
We'll get coming in and we'll also see if the
d Aaron Fox, if you can keep him out of
San Antonio with the right move. Here, my whole thing
and Biscuit's right. If it's an upgrade and makes your
roster better and you're gonna keep going with you going.
I just always am concerned with a star, will he
fit in. I'd much rather have Daron Fox and Jimmy.
Speaker 6 (50:54):
Butler, you know, I fit.
Speaker 5 (50:57):
I feel like the way that e ma U Doka coaches,
he's not going to put up with the bs.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
You come in and you fit the culture or you don't.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
That's it. And then with when you when you got
to re up him, it's gonna be it's it's expensive, Yeah,
because he's a hell of a player, that's it. I
always love great players. The question is what do you
where's the cutoff line, that line of you know that
says we can handle this move if you're a star,
add another star to it, or you can handle it.
And at the bottom of it, listen, there's guys that
(51:26):
are that are good talent that aren't dearon Fox on
this roster. Right, So that's what you'd have to discern
between the two hey Man triple Ley.

off Tonight' seven thirty lunch batter right here on seven
nine of your home for Rockets basketball Texans interviewing two
more candidates today for their open OC position. The Houston
Cougars beat West Virginia last night in Big Twelve Conference play.
All right, we've been talking a lot of basketball this morning,
(53:19):
talking about these Rockets, the Cougars, Should they make a trade,
so forth and so on. Well, Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner,
They're always trying to tweak something, always, you know, adding
another gimmick to the All Star Game, adding a gimmick
to the dunk contest, which is lackluster to say the least.
(53:39):
He's always trying to do something. Well, Sean, listen to
this audio. My goodness, this is what he wants to
do with the time of games.
Speaker 20 (53:51):
And I'm probably in a minority as we get more
involved in global basketball. The NBA is the only league
that plays forty eight minutes, and I would be I
am a fan of four ten minute quarters. I'm not
sure that many others are. I mean, putting inside what
it means for records and things like that, I think
(54:13):
that a two hour format for a game is more
consistent sort of modern television habits. I don't think people
in arenas aren't asking us to shorten the game, but
I think as a television program being two hours, that's
Olympic basketball. It's being is two hours, you know, college
basketball courses.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
But why you like it? I'd say it has kind
of a little bit of a push there.
Speaker 20 (54:34):
Yeah, but it's such a dramatic change to the game.
I mean, I think something like that would have to
be talking more about.
Speaker 6 (54:42):
That's Adamsilver, he was on with Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
Yeah. See, here's where I disagree with him. It's not
the forty eight minutes. It's the play on the court.
One percent. They can do the same thing they do
in twelve minutes a quarter as they do in ten
minutes that they'll do in ten minutes a quarter. It's
the way that it's the product. It's not how skilled
the players are we get skilled players. But if the
product says shoot three pointers, play no defense, and dunk,
(55:07):
that's what you're gonna do. You're you're a product or
your environment. Right, it's the product and the way you
do it. I don't know, speed up the shot clock
if you want to do something. I'm not for raising
the rim to eleven feet because people like and if
you want more offense, that ain't the thing to do. Plus, now,
all the record books in the history of mankind in
the NBA will have an asterisk by them because of
the disrupting of the time. Yep. So for me, it's
(55:30):
the product and there's there's other ways to go about it.
And see, the NBA is its own worst enemy. They
created the problem with all this. They created the problem.
They got away from what sports is really supposed to
be about. Competitive, good product on the court on the field,
whether it's football, baseball, basketball in the court, and uh,
(55:54):
they want everybody involved. You know what I'm saying. You
want better brand of basketball and your All Star games
embarrassing so that that the All Star Game at one point,
you know, used to be competitive. Yes, and that's not
the reason people watch. But yes, so if people's attention
spans two minutes. What is going from forty eight to
forty gonna have to do with it? And you know
why it is? He says, Well, you know the arenas aren't.
(56:16):
But I'll bet your TV network's are pressing it because
right now, if the brand isn't as good as you
want it, and there's these many talented players and it's
suffering for whatever needs a facelift is the facelift of
are you going to tune into a game to watch
forty minutes instead of forty eight? I'm actually gonna complain
more because now the two minutes left on that last
shot to make a run with three minutes to go
is different. Why don't we just have eight minute running
(56:37):
clocks like we do at the boys club? Yeah? Exactly,
the ymcaight s I see. I just I don't think
that that's the answer. I just don't. I don't think
people aren't watching basketball because it takes too long. When's
the last time you saw a three hour basketball game?
Not very often, don't You don't? So you get it
to I mean, so that's extra two minutes a quarter.
(56:58):
That ain't the reason they're not watching. It's all the
other stuff. I have yet to hear one person complain about.
Maybe there is, but the Nashal where it's like, yeah, man,
we got to get to ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (57:11):
Twelve minutes is too long to me, it's a reach.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
It is I'll tell you what. And I know they're
not going to do it, But wouldn't you like to see,
like we've talked about for a year, how these guys
would react without a three point line.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
You want to change the game and make it a
better product.
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Won't they have to play better basketball? Team basketball? There's
no three point line. I know it's not as excited
three but the truth is if they if you got
the three and all these guys are hoisting up and
it's not moving the needle in your NBA telecast, when
your pregame show with Barkley and the group is the
most important thing we do watch in the NBA. If
that's the way, then add that they're watching for the
(57:51):
pregame show and once the game starts, they're turning away.
That's not the way it's supposed to be. But it's
the way. I mean, it's it's not me. I'm just
telling it's just the way that it's in the numbers,
The metrics will tell you that. I for one, I'm
twelve to ten and silver. If he wants it, if
he wants it done, it'll get done. I don't think
it serves it serves the purpose of what they're trying
(58:14):
to more viewers and more attention to it. It's the
product on the court, not the talent. The product. Then
there is a difference and the way you're playing it.
There's other ways to make basketball more interesting. And guess
what it isn't going from twelve to ten minutes? Do
you I never complained about this game last. Now, I'll
tell you what's irritating. When there's foul after foul after
(58:34):
foul after foul, just like there's penalty and one after
the other. That lengthens it. But twelve minutes to ten
minutes doesn't do anything for me when it comes to
enhancing my ability to want to watch. That's eight minutes.
Speaker 5 (58:45):
Do you know the first year the NBA went into
forty eight minute games with twelve minute quarters? When was
it seventy nine years ago? Nineteen forty six? Why hell
are we tweaking with it, messing with it even even
just talking about it? Floating the idea.
Speaker 2 (59:06):
When Bird and Magic and Jordan and Kobe and that
group played, nobody ever complained about as a matter of fact,
you wanted a forty eight minute game. There was times
you begged for more minutes because you said, these guys
are a blast. What it's the product you're putting on it? No,
p you know that. I'm not putting in a blanket
statement over every team or every coach, but even guys
that are coaching their teams don't like the way basketball
(59:26):
is being played right. Twelve to ten ain't the answer.
I can get that at a high school game. Thanks.
I just I can't remember the last time now I've
complained about another foul. Come on, let them play. I
can't remember the last time I said forty eight minutes
is too long in an NBA game. Ever, I can
say this, And are they going to attack the rim
at all? Is anybody gonna defend? Yeah? I mean, I mean,
(59:49):
are you gonna Are we gonna seriously flop? I mean,
those are the things I'm talking about. I've never once said,
you know what, I'd like eight or ten minute quarters?
Twelve's too long?
Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
Yeah, you know what, let's slice twenty the game talk
about chasing a ghost? What are we doing?
Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Why are we doing all these dumbass gimmicks in all
the sports leagues, bigger bases in baseball, pitch clock now,
apparently they're trying to float the idea of starters must
go six innings.
Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
Okay, okay over.
Speaker 6 (01:00:19):
In the NFL, the kickoff rule, the overtime rule suck.
Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
I'm not go on and on now.
Speaker 6 (01:00:25):
In the NBA, you know what.
Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
Been going on for seventy nine years, sean seventy nine years,
We've had two minutes from m Yeah, seventy nine quarters.
We've had forty eight minute games.
Speaker 8 (01:00:34):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
I want to take it down eight minutes and I
want forty minute games.
Speaker 6 (01:00:37):
And no time have I ever complained? What have you
even thought about it? What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Well, it's the NBA, not much unfortunately, to enhance the
great talent that's on the court. And they said, dude,
there it used to be. And I love that. I've
told you about Yeah, dude, I love it. We talked
about yesterday. But I can tell you this. I don't.
I don't. It's not has to do with old head
or that dude watching the kid at Duke play, right, now, Yeah,
(01:01:03):
Cooper Flag, it's a treat watching these times. So watching
great players has always been a who doesn't want to watch
great players? Yeah? The athletes in this the athletes and
probos are stupid, stupid, good. I just but the way
they play sometimes it's eye rolling. It is eye rolling
to me, and it's because of the environment that's been created.
(01:01:24):
This is what we want. And they think that everybody
just wants one hundred and thirty point game all the time. Yeah, offense.
You know there's some people who've played that are thirty
that don't want one hundred and forty points, let alone
an all Star game in a regular NBA game. Yeah,
in forty eight minutes. So I just be barking up
the wrong tree. To me, if I'm the players associated,
(01:01:45):
I say absolutely not. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
I thought out of all three of the major commissioners
Roger Goodell, Bob Manfred and Adam Adam Silver during the
COVID times, I thought he did a really good job,
meaning Adam Silver of not cowtow to the people that
were like, oh, if half your team gets COVID, you
got to cancel your games. He said, no, if you
(01:02:07):
got five or six guys you're gonna play. We're not
gonna cancel games, We're gonna move games. I thought he
did a really good job with that.
Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
But on the other side of it, they shoved a
bunch of other political stuff down people's throat.
Speaker 6 (01:02:16):
And then we all watch sports.
Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I do. I watch sports to get away from all that.
I stand enough of it. On my TV. I watch football, basketball,
baseball to watch great athletes play sports and then coach
it up. I don't watch for you to for you
to give me a sound message on how I'm supposed
to do something.
Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
Yeah, and then you then you add in that aspect
of it. Yeah, and then you mess with then you
bring in the play in tournament. Then I'm sorry, I
have to play in? Well, yeah, you have a play
in tournament. You have, Yes, you have a play in tournament.
Now you have the in season tournament, which is the
second week of the season, and you've you've the All
Star Game sucks, the Dunk Contest sucks, and now you
(01:02:50):
want to take eight minutes off the game.
Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
What happened to and we got to go? But what
happened to? Just what happened to all these great players? Just,
I mean, nobody ever can when it was great, just
great basketball, well without the game. What happened to these
team with teams? Here's when you qualify for the playoffs.
If you don't, I know they're guarding against resting them
and tanking. There's got to be another way to fix
(01:03:13):
tanking other than adding in season tournaments and giving the
players more money. Yeah, to force them to play harder
the hell out of here, Adam Silver's got to be
better than this forty eight minute game to forty eight eight.
Speaker 6 (01:03:25):
Stupid, dumb ass ideal.
Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
Let's get to break seven one, three two, seven ninety
will also take your calls next on sports Stock.
Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Seven ninety were valid.
Speaker 5 (01:03:33):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Ross is definitely still sleeping,
no doubt that you can pretty much say whatever you
want right now pretty much.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Rockets make a lot of people
feel that damn right.
Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
Good change of pace. Many Let's just hope it keeps
they keep it rolling. Start with the Robert, Robert, what's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Mon, gentle?
Speaker 9 (01:04:00):
I want this one sizzling up like a bacon pancake. Okay,
the Rockets are rolling. We're five games back from the
one seed. Head coach got the boys rolling.
Speaker 15 (01:04:11):
I don't want to hear about no darn Fox, Jimmy Butler.
Let the boys eat, and if you want to trade,
wrap up Van Vleet, Jabbari and all your first round picks.
I'm going after Stephen Curry twenty twenty six and that
big dude Kaminga.
Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
That's what I like.
Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
So I don't know if we.
Speaker 15 (01:04:36):
Can make it happen, but that's the only trade something
like that, That's.
Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
The only thing I would entertain.
Speaker 15 (01:04:42):
Let the boys have good chemistry, let them roll. We're
almost there, I mean, coming from second to last a
year or two ago to now.
Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
What a What a turnaround.
Speaker 7 (01:04:53):
So that's what I got.
Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
Appreciate you, Robert, You're not He's not the first fan
I've heard talk about trying to go get steph urry.
Not sure they'll be able to get it done, but
he's one of the best shooters of all time. Start Adrian, Adrian,
what's up?
Speaker 10 (01:05:08):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (01:05:08):
What's going on this morning? Trying to stay out of
the rain. So I wanted to get my call in
about the rockets. Sean, you'll enjoy this. I don't know
how many people out there are looking besides me, you
and Biscuit but when we played, but when we watch
them play defense, what does that remind you of?
Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
Gotta be old school basketball?
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Hush on, Oh well, it takes me back to when
Pistons and the Knicks played defense, the Lakers, the Bulls,
all of them. The names are one thing, but the
defensive ends another. Hell, when the Rockets were winning championships,
Elijah One was as good a defensive player as we've
ever had at the position. Got to play, you got
(01:05:49):
to play the other end, Gary Payton when Seattle was
compete I mean that it's that'll sustain it, that that
travels far better than being able to hit a jump shot.
It always does to jump out. You'll, defense should never
go cold, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 17 (01:06:05):
And I love it because I May has figured.
Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Out how to press the brink.
Speaker 17 (01:06:11):
He has bought back nineties defense basketball and it travels well.
And you can tell on the court. Teams come out
and then in that first five to six minutes they
take a time out.
Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa woe.
Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
We wouldn't expecting this.
Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
It don't look that physical on tape.
Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
I love it.
Speaker 17 (01:06:32):
I don't think we need any additions, if anything, get
me a shooter to go with that second group off
the bench, leave this squad alone. And for all you
people out there that wonder why Alfie's so good, we
already know our men is another cyboard.
Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Y'all forget that.
Speaker 17 (01:06:52):
These guys work with a king over there at the
Toyota Center.
Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Look at Alfie's footwork.
Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Who does every mind you up?
Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Never had a big man with better feet than Elijah
one ever.
Speaker 17 (01:07:05):
Bigs Sean, they'll learn one day. For all your old schoolheads,
y'all know what y'all watching. For the new ones, this
is how we used to watch defense. There wasn't no
cry baby, there wasn't no flop. You're not bleeding, no whistle,
Get up and go play.
Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Thank you, Adrian, and let's get to Mic real quick. Mike,
good morning. Hey, what's going on? Fellas suck?
Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
I was gonna just chime in on maybe making a
change on see what y'all thought about.
Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
I would eliminate the three point shots.
Speaker 9 (01:07:37):
I get.
Speaker 12 (01:07:37):
I have a hard time watching coming down, watching team
shoot fifteen.
Speaker 7 (01:07:41):
Or forty from three points. Most of the time, it's
hard to watch. There's no there's no cohesive ness, there's
no plays run to get to get a shooter.
Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Or an open jump shot.
Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
I'm not arguing. I'm with you if you really want
to make a like wow factor and you want to
see how basketball improved. Like I said, I know, I
love the excitement of you're down too and be able
to knock down a three, and we'll probably never eliminate
in the line. But I'm with you, you'd see a
different brand of basketball that you'd actually have to run
plays and do it all in a half court game
(01:08:16):
or with no three where you can't just spot up
and knock it down. The one thing about it is
you can shoot your way back in in a hurry,
but it's not great basketball. And ten minutes twelve minutes
to ten minutes is my buddy ce send me investors
saying he goes. The only positive about that is that
you don't have to watch two more minutes of bad
basketball if you're watching it. So I'm with you. I
would love to just see what it would be like
(01:08:37):
in the preseason. Test it like they do in the
minor leagues. Let's see what it would be like to
play without the three point line, just for a minute.
I would love to see it and see how defense
and half court game and you know, low block and
good team basketball and mid range jumpers. I'd like to
see how that played out for the fan base, just
to see if it was worth the experiment. Thanks for
(01:08:59):
the call, man, great. Appreciate you, Mikes. Appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (01:09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
I mean, if you're going to experiment, do why not
do in the preseason.
Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (01:09:05):
You can play summer summer summer league.
Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Right, let's just see what it's like. Make it and
I want to. I wonder how the players. Now, the
players probably would hate it, oh, one hundred percent they would,
but especially for my basic Yeah, if you're looking for
a a needle mover or on one way or the other,
it's either gonna be awful or it's going to be great.
I I'd like to just see how it affected the game.
(01:09:27):
I like points too, but I also better basketball with
great talent. See how they see how the teaching goes
and out would be if you don't have a three
point line to survive, Yeah, you'd play better defense too.
Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
Man.
Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
You'd have to yep seven one three five Seveney. We
will continue to take your calls on these rockets next.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
Don't you say you don't know who Tanya Harding is
when somebody asks you who Jimmy Stewart is, don't do it,
James Stewart, I know James Jimbo? Do you Jimbo? Do
you know who Nancy Kerrigan is? Triply Okay? That cuts
you deep. Hey, It's it's a bit alarming. Isn't it
when you when you read it this, he doesn't know
the things you think. Yeah, see you am all right Carigan,
(01:11:56):
Nancy Kerrigan, look at look at your eyes. See come on.
Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
They were getting ready, they were qualifying for the Olympics
ice skaters se Tanya Harding, and I want to say,
like her boyfriend or her husband at the time, they
literally attacked Nancy Carigan with like a pipe and then she,
Tanya Harding, beat Nancy Kerrigan in her legs or knee
(01:12:21):
or ankle. I can't remember the exact details, so that
she could not compete in the Olympics. So basically took
her spot out so Tanya Hardy could take her spot

So let's get in the hour. Let's talk about these Texans.
We talked basketball for two hours. Time to talk about
the Texans. There are any of you and a couple
of guys today for the ROC spot. Who are they next?
Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
K Houston h D two Houston Ahart Radio station, the Rocket.
Speaker 3 (01:19:57):
Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home Salsbray Hot, Okay,
let's do this. Sewn Salisbury.
Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Usc Truth, longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.
Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Ryan Lima, go Lobos. This is the Sean Salisbury Show.
Speaker 5 (01:20:24):
Texans interviewing two more candidates today for their open OC spot.
We'll talk about that this segment. Houston Cougar's beat West
Virginia in Big Twelve conference play last night. They are
undefeated nine to zero in conference play. Let's talk about
these Texans. They're gonna interview offensive assistant Bill Laser today.
(01:20:50):
Laser previously offensive coordinator for the Dolphins, Bengals, Bears. He's
coached Ryan Tannehill, Andy excuse me, Andy Dalton, Justin Fields,
Mitchell Trabbill, a.
Speaker 6 (01:21:02):
Name I didn't think that we would see. Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (01:21:08):
He's highly regarded. He's got extensive background calling plays at
the NFL level. Obviously, he's had some offensive coordinator experience.
He's fifty two. He's gonna interview today.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
Yep. He's called plays for quite a few franchises and
has had some success doing it too. So I'm I'm
pretty anxious to see how that interview goes. They've interviewed
what so that'd be two offensive assistants in the building
for the quarterback coach, I mean for the offensive coordinator
(01:21:42):
job in Draw Johnson and Bill Laser. Today, there's the
Chip Kelly talk. And have they not They have not
interviewed him. No, have interviewed the offensive coordinator from Syracuse,
Jeff Nixon.
Speaker 5 (01:21:53):
Jeff Nixon, and then Tampa Bay Bucks quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis.
Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
Sad Lewis, And what about are we still is there
any interest in the Rams assistant that's today, Nick Kayley,
Kayley and Laser. Yes, Laser and Kayler both today. Yeah, yep,
I should be able to find one. Some pretty good
names on there.
Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
And you've also had Nick Caserio and Demiico, Ryan's over
at the Senior Bowl. They've been scouting talent. So you've
got a lot of things going on with this coaching
staff and with excuse me, with Nick Assia, the general manager.
You also got to remember, Sean, they're going to be
on the lookout for a new offensive line coach. I
would assume that's coming after they hired the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Yes, so you would say, yes, I kind of can.
I don't want to say I approve it, but can
can endorse it with them that they're all on the
same page. I think that's important. It'd be a mistake
to hire the offensive line coach before the offensive coordinator,
especially if their philosophy were completely different. We asked the question,
and we really didn't follow up on it. But it's
(01:22:58):
something that and I had asked it and I didn't
push the envelope enough. What do you want an offensive coordinator?
What are you looking for? If you have some scheme
in mind? Grate, I'm talking about if you're a fan
in a caller, just a point of is are you
looking for? Aggressive you're looking for? We've had some people
talk about some of the names that were available. Are
(01:23:19):
you looking for? Yeah, I'm not looking for a specific
name unless you have one that matches what as somebody
calls in and says, I want Bill Lasier because I've
seen him here and here's the way he attacks it,
it's not even necessarily the name. What are you looking for?
Till you tell us what you're looking for, we can
help you with what who that name can be. But
what are you looking for for the Texans and understanding
(01:23:41):
Demico Ryans, what they're doing, where they were the last
two years and where they are now. What do you
want in a play caller? I know to score touchdowns,
that's the obviose, But what kind of what are you
looking for? And I'm anxious to hear what people have
in mind on a team that's made the playoffs two
years in a row and decided that that still wasn't enough,
(01:24:02):
which is a good thing because they're not settling. So
what are you looking for? Just as a play caller?
What kind of fill? I mean, what's your philosophy? Is
it play it close and win close games, rely on defense.
Is it aggressive? Is it? Do you do you want
to spread them out more, you want to run it more?
What do you want to do? What do you want
to do with the person You gotta take take into
consideration the personnel you're using.
Speaker 5 (01:24:22):
Yeah, I think for me, I want more aggressive, But
also you can't. You can't forget about your run game.
Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
And be aggressive.
Speaker 6 (01:24:31):
Yeah, so give me that.
Speaker 5 (01:24:32):
And then also, for the love of God, feature Joe
Mixon in the passing game. And also I think I
want to see a little more downfield threat. You got
Nico Collins that can do it. I'm assuming, I'm assuming
they're going to add another wide receiver, whether it be
they may try to go trade for t Higgins or
try to resign Stefan Diggs, whatever the case is, just
down more downfield threats, down on more vertical, vertical passing game.
Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Thank you. That's what I'm that.
Speaker 6 (01:24:57):
Yes, more vertical passing game. I feel like they want
to this past year.
Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Yeah, I uh, and with a guy who can throw
the ball outside the numbers like Stroud can. You can't
just live there, but it makes all the other stuff
easy when you can attack vertically. Aggressiveness and it I
guess it's maybe an overused term, but aggressive for me
is is Well. I'll tell you you watched college Chip
Kelly's aggressive and he runs the football, but you don't
(01:25:23):
look at him. Think about how much they run it
and wear you down physically this year, and yet people
look at spread offenses just throw. You're not winning a
Super Bowl by just I mean, you got to run it,
and you got to be physical, and you've got to
have a mindset of physicality. I'm looking. I'm looking for
a coordinator and I'm also looking for one that when
the pressure is at its highest, his aggressiveness doesn't wane, right,
(01:25:47):
doesn't slow down. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:25:48):
I don't want to see this, uh, this offense.
Speaker 5 (01:25:53):
Get into the second half and start to play not
to lose rather than playing to win to get the
game over.
Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
Yeah, I just I just need and I need somebody
who what they tell me in the meeting room or
when they're selling me on why they should be the coordinator.
I need that to be who it is. And the
truth is, all you got to do is look at
the history of whoever you're interviewing. If they've had play
client experience, wherever their background is, if they've had where
they've been, is that's who they're going to be. They're
(01:26:20):
not changing whole heart, They're not going to change. You know,
you may be able to lessen the stripes a little bit,
but the stripes aren't going to change. If you're a
guy who loves to do a certain thing in your offense,
guess what you're always going to do. You just hope
that the personnel executes it better. Guys bring their philosophy
to the table, and I'll tell you what else I need.
I need a great in game adjuster as an offensive courting,
(01:26:45):
not pregame posting all that's like I get. I need
a guy that when everything goes to hell in a handbasket,
do you have a plan B in a game, not
before the game, in a game to where they're at,
and is willing to step outside the comfort zone that
this is what we do. But what we do right now.
It's not happening today. How do we find a way
to survive this and win this game? I got to
(01:27:06):
get out of my comfort zone. I need a guy
who's willing to be a great in game adjuster. And
that's not hard. I mean, that's hard to do. But
when you find it, you gotta latch onto it. Yeah,
that guy, whoever that is.
Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
In twenty twenty, Bill Laser was an offensive assistant with
Matt Naggy in the Chicago Bears. Matt Naggy relinquished the
play calling duties to Laser, and the offense improved to
thirty points a game in the final six games after
scoring nineteen points per game in the games that Matt
(01:27:43):
Naggy called the place the Bears made the playoffs. They're
running back David Montgomery rushed for one thousand and seventy
yards and eight touchdowns. Alan Robinson caught one hundred and
two passes for and fifty yards and six scores in
that offense. So had some good, good success calling plays.
He's been doing it for a long time. He's going
(01:28:05):
to be interviewed today, Mike. My guess is that they're
looking for a guy who's called him before. Yeah, that's now.
Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
I may be wrong, but I I I'm thinking that
I don't know if they're going to go with the
guy who's never called offensive plays before. Yeah.

We had a caller, uh huh, yeah, his name was Kenny.
He wanted me to ask you guys. You know we're
talking about candidates for the offensive line, I mean offensive coordinator.
He wants to know what would you guys be looking
for an offensive line coordinator?
Speaker 6 (01:30:13):
Offensive coordator offensive line coach.
Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Offensive line coach, the offensive line coach.
Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
Yes, what would you guys be looking for candidates in
that souza?
Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
Well, I could tell you what I would look for
as one, accountability. I've been any good team I've been
on the offensive line coach has got a great mixture
of being a prick and protecting his guys to the
ends of the earth, and I love it. I personally
(01:30:41):
think this team needs some The two things that stuck
out to me is there's something wrong technique wise when
the simplest things are getting to the quarterback. Simple technique,
you know, I don't care. They can all bench press,
they can all you know, squat rack and all do
that stuff. Simple technique with footwork where you're stepping, you
know you're you're your false step, and it a guy
runs by you, your hands are in the wrong position.
(01:31:02):
A great technician, but also a guy who'll defend him
and hell, who wants to who put his hand in
the dirt for his offensive line. I need accountability. I
need a technician, and in truth, I need a guy
that when he works him out as nasty, that he's
looking for that trait. I actually just think one of
the the From my vantage point, I'm not in their
(01:31:23):
locker room on the praxfield. From my vantage point, I
feel like that nasty comes about eighth on the traits
of this offensive line. And if it's if it's only
one guy nasty, that's not good enough for eight, nine
to ten guys. You've got to You've got to have
a little more. And when I say nasty, I'm willing
(01:31:44):
to sacrifice a nasty penalty for a pre snap penalty.
Is that makes it not to a point of undisciplined,
And then it gets to real simple. I thought they
were undisciplined and and technique when you go undisciplined pre snap,
and then technique is questionable post snap, that combo ends
up in eight sacks in a playoff game. And somebody
(01:32:07):
who can teach in that room, whether they did or
not last year the year before, someone in that room
who can teach identify how to identify, you know what
I'm talking about, identified defenses and exactly who you're supposed
to block. You can go into a game with five
five decent solid offensive line without a star if they
(01:32:31):
all know what they're doing in continuity on the same page.
If they're mentally prepared. The physical stuff will take care
of itself. If there's some nasty involved, I'd rather have nasty,
a nasty guy who mentally knows who he's supposed to block,
than a talented guy who It's like a wide receiver.
You want a guy who catches it nine times out
of ten or a guy with four two speed who
(01:32:52):
catches it two times out of ten.
Speaker 6 (01:32:53):
But man, he looks good doing it. Give me the
consistency nine.
Speaker 14 (01:32:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
I'm looking for a line that just the truth is
we may not even know their names. I don't mean
that disrespectful, but we know who they are as a group,
and when we get to that point, then that this
offensive line will be better. So nasty proper technician at
each position. But I have to have them to be
able to identify whatever the conflict is, and I don't
(01:33:18):
think they've been very good at it. Even in simple looks.
Speaker 6 (01:33:23):
They struggled Sean with picking up a simple stunt.
Speaker 2 (01:33:27):
That's what I'm talkingbout im talking about elementary school stuff,
the simple stuff that everybody should be able to block. Now, listen,
if you're going to tell me that you got to
block Parson sixty five times a game, you're going to
give up a socker J. Sure you are. They're the
best in the bad but it's gonna happen. But I
can't get beat with a double team, right. I can't
let him beat me when we're deubal team, I sure
and saying I also got to understand when I'm sliding
the line, and that's why the quarterback needs to be involved.
(01:33:49):
I can't put my situation to where I'm sliding the
line and my running back is on a big It's
got to start from the basis is big on big,
and we'll work from there. But you've got to be
able to identify Steve Spagnola and what he's doing and
what he's done since he's been in this league. Now
I know he got you, and they will on a
corner cap, on a corner blitz once in a while,
(01:34:09):
they're gonna get you once a while. The key in
that one is not to throw it to the other
team and not to get stripsack, fumble and to throw
it away. Those are going to happen. You don't compound
one mistake with another, but they're just not It seems
like the visual understanding where Trouble's coming from in the
simplest way was not The identification was not good for them.
(01:34:30):
And there's too many free runners on simple stuff. Yeah,
I listen, well sewn, you couldn't buy. You're right, I couldn't.
At times it looks like I feel like man, I
like ca at at least get in a guy's way. Yeah,
you're right, but I don't play that position. I'm just
telling you what in talking to people who've played the
position and coached it and played it and coached it
far longer than I have that knowing what they knowing
(01:34:50):
what they expect, and what they've been on teams with
good offensive lines. Now, if you've got five studs that
are all the four of them are going to the
Pro Bowl, good, great take it. But I can alway
win with players who know who to block. Danny Green's
favorite will always real simple. If you do nothing else,
know who to get and how to get them sound
(01:35:11):
so elementary, Right, who to get that's my guy?
Speaker 10 (01:35:15):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
How do I get him? Proper technique and understanding? And
we always talk about you know, I discipline for defenses
so you don't get fooled on a bootleg. I disciplined
into the backfield. You've got to have the same I
discipline as an offensive lineman to know who people are
coming from distance and and if they lose one, they
got to do another thing, and who their tendencies are
and a gap. That's why I am such a stickler
(01:35:36):
for study, study, study, not study to where you come
paralyzed mentally if they don't do what you saw. You've
got to be able to adjust and and and and
adapt during a game. But I've talked about going in
you know that for the most part, unless they do
something different a couple snaps. Now it's just me taking
care of my business and being in the right So
half the half the thing is eighty percent getting lined
(01:35:58):
up right on defense and the other half is the
other twenty percent tackling on this It's is knowing, Okay,
that's my guy, and it doesn't Sometimes you don't even
have to stay on him long. Just give me enough
time the ball's coming out. I mean, yeah, you just
you just can't get free runners that are in the
backfield before my quarterback is Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:36:15):
I think there's obviously everything that you mentioned, and then
another part of like being a nasty guard or tackle,
just nasty offensive lineman a prick. How many times do
you see this season CJ. Shroud get knocked down to
the ground, knocked out of bounds? How fat How many
times do you see his offensive lineman hauling ass over
to help him up or to shove a defensive a
(01:36:36):
defender a defender?
Speaker 6 (01:36:38):
How many times you see that?
Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
If they if they if if I hope that's not
a deeper seated DNA thing, not with t CJ said optimally, yeah,
but that's bothersome to me. If if if it is,
and you go back and look, and you know when
you pointed out, we do it because I've been on
I've told you that I've been on a team with
a guy that they didn't do it either, and you
know they didn't have a lot of respect for his approach.
(01:37:05):
Does that make sense during during the weekend, in a
game day that at times they felt it was an
I confess he did it guy. And it doesn't matter
what level I'm talking about, it's just those guys, and
that's neither here nor there. I wouldn't want to ever
bust toss somebody because some may think quite the opposite
of you know, of that situation, but I am you
mentioned the nasty part of picking a guy up and
(01:37:27):
doing it, and you got to go into a game
when I got news for you can't say he knows
the Philadelphia's offensive line's nasty lane. Johnson's the type of
guy you were you were discussing Jason Kelsey when he
did play in Philadelphia, that kind of guy. I played
with him, fortunately at a lot of places, and you
have to have him and it can't be fake. And
(01:37:48):
I also need one of those guys, whether he's on
this roster or not, that the offensive lineman himself ain't
taking crap from the other four dudes on his own
offensive line, that he polices it, that he's the guy
says none, this is this is a way we're practicing
in a way we're going to get it, because there
is no way after watching this offensive line sustained consistency
or inconsistency. Should I say that when you watch them
(01:38:10):
this year, that you say they practiced great every week.
There's no friggin way we didn't watch them practice. There
is no way that offensive line was sound every week
in practice. There has got to be minimum of half
the games. You went into it as a staff wondering
if your guys were ready because their performance on Nobody
can practice great every week and be that at times
(01:38:33):
piss pour on a Sunday. You just can't. And it's
not personal. It's just fact and going in and knowing
who you're facing in an AFC championship game and it's
the quarterback too, or AFC divisional game, it's the quarterback too.
Understanding knowing where the weakness is and even if it's
not your fault to get rid of the ball, knowing
that there may be. You got to anticipate trouble and
the conflict, like I always say, knowing your offensive line
(01:38:54):
hasn't been able to deal with it much the whole year,
So that's almost another level which you got to deal with,
which is a bummer, but that's just the way it is.
But there is no way hints why they're changing coaches
and I guaranteed personnel. There's no way on that practice
field that you can practice great and play that poorly
or inconsistently up and down all year. It tells me
(01:39:15):
that on the practice field or in the meeting room,
some kind of accountability was missing. Yeah, it's a and
it's without even talking anybody. Well, the end result will
tell you that. But do you just you just can't
practice that poorly and turn it on. They're not good
enough to turn it on and on and off like
a light switch. They don't have four Pro bowlers on there.
So it tells me that something during the week. And
(01:39:38):
that's a bummer thing to go into a game and
you come out of the huddle and you're thinking are
we ready? Instead of no, this is a no brainer.
Eight sacks in a playoff game and in your facing Spagnola,
you had to know going in and I know they
got guys that are just better than some of our guys,
but you had to know going in that this was
not going to be easy. And if you didn't know
(01:39:58):
Steve Spagnola's moves before he did, then you ain't been
watching this guy run defenses that dominate in Super Bowls.
And until you do, the offensive line will will will flounder. Yep,
they gotta fix it. Seven one, three, two, five, seven
ninety is the number to join. There are two wide

Have you ever drove down the free and seen wildflowers? Yeah?
Are they all over the place? Uh huh So maybe
they just wanted to a needy more band members. They
need a lot of band members, a lot of wildflower.
Is there any other versions of this? I'm gonna I
need to delve into my knowledge any other versions of
that cut, because I'm I'm gonna say not Diamond, maybe
not Wayne Newton, maybe not you know one of those.
(01:41:29):
Maybe it's Hasslehoff. No, No, is that it? No?
Speaker 6 (01:41:32):
This is she she sings it?
Speaker 2 (01:41:34):
Who else? Anybody else? Am I wrong?
Speaker 12 (01:41:38):
Somebody?
Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
I feel like somebody that Tom Jones about him? About
Tom Jones? Check it out? Whoa that's a Tom Jones balloons?
Speaker 6 (01:41:48):
Does he sing that song wild Flower?
Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
Or she's a late that that song?
Speaker 6 (01:41:54):
She's a lame?
Speaker 2 (01:41:56):
Yeah, I'm telling you there's somebody.
Speaker 6 (01:42:00):
Not finding Tom Jones singing it.
Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
All right, Well I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree. Okay, one
of those Las Vegas old schoolers sings this as it
covers this or sings it as well, different version anyway,
not important.
Speaker 6 (01:42:15):
Maurice Gibb has done. Gibbs a part of the BG's
the Wayland James.
Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
Let's see, it's really not important. No, we're gonna figure
it out.
Speaker 6 (01:42:26):
David Foster, It's.
Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
Really not important. It's not David Foster, one of the
great guys, the great musician writers on the planet.
Speaker 6 (01:42:32):
What Skylark?
Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
Maybe it's them good vehicle too old school vehicle, the Skylark.
Speaker 6 (01:42:38):
You know, hey, guys, we just had a caller.
Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
His name was one one.
Speaker 21 (01:42:41):
He said that right, every time that you start singing,
he has to stop his forklift because he thinks that's
something's wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (01:42:51):
So he thinks he thinks his forkliff has a problem
because brian voice. Brian's voice matches.
Speaker 6 (01:42:57):
I think so, I think that is that's pretty good.
Speaker 21 (01:43:01):
By the way, we had a caller, his name was Richard.
He wanted me to ask you. We were talking offensive lineman.
He said, does Eric Williams ring a bell?
Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
So, yeah, he's talking about Eric Williams in from nineteen Dallas.
Now he's talking about Eric Williams. Was part of the
Cowboys Stepnovski and Larry Allen line went in Super Bowls
and he was a monster. Yeah, rings a bell? He
rung a lot of bells too while he was playing
ring my bell, Ring my bell, my bell.
Speaker 9 (01:43:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43:31):

Hall of Fame. Who Eric Williams.
Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
Yeah, they it's like about the Dallas Cowboys in the
third round.
Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
The Cowboys dominated the line of scrimmage on a regular basis,
protected it, pushed it at the line. They were they
were phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (01:43:46):
Well, I hope one's forklift's okay? Yeah, maybe he can
use it for that fat ass rapper.
Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Does he have one?
Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Two?
Speaker 8 (01:43:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Well, basically one saying is you gotta always like a forklift.
Speaker 16 (01:44:01):
Do you think do you think he called in and said, hey, man,
tell a Lima whoa.
Speaker 5 (01:44:08):

Main streets.

Do you know any white guy's name one?
Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
No, but I know a brother name one Juan Williams
who does the political stuff on Fox. You've seen him, right,
But do you know a white guy named one? H?

they walked out of your house or your business, interior
exterior will be done right for the right price, helping
you pick out the paints, local, timely, safe, all the
things you need, and it would save you time on
the other and do things you want while painting. I
enjoy it, and I enjoyed DIY and I'm sure you
do too. Listen, there's other things that I'd rather do,
(01:48:12):

that for you? Surtapro dot com. Each and every cert
of Pro business is individually owned and operated a boutique
feel that does big work. Certapro dot com for your

you pick out the paints if you're not sure what
pops with a certain and when it goes on, is
it glossy, is it matt All those things that you
need to have answers to, they're there for you. They
got it all and I'm grateful to be a teammate

By the way?
Speaker 3 (01:49:34):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (01:49:34):
My TENU team is preseason right number seven in the country.
Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
Right now.
Speaker 5 (01:49:40):
I'm with a new organization, by the way. Yeah, fourteen
years of Bandidos, fantastic run. But I am now with
the Houston Wilkie Best Texas. We got good baseball here,
good brand of baseball.
Speaker 2 (01:49:52):
Yeah, I hear you, man.
Speaker 6 (01:49:55):
Let's go coaching ten you man, had practice last night.
Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
A little more challenging.
Speaker 6 (01:50:00):
Uh uh my group, Uh.
Speaker 5 (01:50:04):
They stay focused, kind of lost deer in the headlights
when when I'm trying to, you know, coach them up
a little bit. But they I'll tell you what one
thing I have noticed about these guys, these kids, they
are coachable and they make adjustments quick.
Speaker 6 (01:50:17):
Well that's sign a good coaching.
Speaker 15 (01:50:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
I gotta be absolutely I'm not a really good.
Speaker 6 (01:50:23):
Really good group, is what I'm in all seriousness.
Speaker 2 (01:50:25):
Quick study, yeah, and pay it in and coachable. You
can win a lot of games with that, right Yeah,
oh yeah that's good.
Speaker 10 (01:50:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:50:32):
So it's gonna be uh it'll be a challenge for
me going from high school kids to tend you. But
I still got my high school group. But we won't
get going it till June's so I think I got
like for my high school kids that are freshmen that
have made the varsity. So that's pretty impressive for those
guys like it. Yeah, man, look forward to it. Seven
seven eyes the number to join Andy.
Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (01:50:52):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (01:50:53):
Find out how many of those young players you have
that were whoop when they were growing up? A pipe
on the uh common pattern there? Hey, I thought it'd
be good to put you guys on the spot. Let's
let's grade position players on the Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:51:15):
Okay, so you're gonna give us a name when he
want us to give you a letter grade? Is that
what you're asking?
Speaker 7 (01:51:19):
Yeah, hey, let's start with the safeties.
Speaker 2 (01:51:23):
Oh you want to you're coming up groupings not individual players.
Speaker 10 (01:51:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
Yeah to me that that that's a are we including
Petrie in this and the whole thing when he was healthy?
Just the whole overall, that's a that's A for me,
a rookie coming in and doing it, and the way
Petrie was playing before he got hurt, that's a strong
B plus leaning into a minus. That's a strength. That's
one of the strengths of this team, Brian, I was
(01:51:49):
gonna go with the B.
Speaker 7 (01:51:51):
Yeah, I'm going to solid B. How about cornerback?
Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Cool yea, And they're just getting started. They're not an
A plus. That's hard that Mike Canes and Lester Hayes
aren't playing anymore, so to get to two edds an
A plus. But that's a solid A with what I
would consider right now, and I'm talking about young it's
the best young secondary in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (01:52:15):
Across the board, I'd say solid B B.
Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
Yeah, solid B. They got some talent. They got some talent,
but solid B. Still can get they still get better
in space covering, But solid B for me.
Speaker 5 (01:52:28):
They got exposed against the Chiefs with trying to gard
Travis Kelsey. So yeah, about a solid B.
Speaker 7 (01:52:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
Defensive ends as well, Yeah, with a chance, with a
chance to be off the charts. Yeah, defensive, I was
gonna say plus plus a little more stout in there.
But I thought they were. I thought they were. I
thought they improved. But that's got to be a little
more where you just you refuse, you know, like the
Chris Jones of the world, where you can dominate a
(01:52:57):
game from the interior, which they don't do enough with
are getting better. I thought I saw them. I mean,
I may even go to a B minus. I don't
think there's a grade lower than a C plus.
Speaker 6 (01:53:06):
On the On the defense, Edwards Jr.
Speaker 5 (01:53:08):
Andasi they both improved and that position.
Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
Will get better. Yeah, there's no glaring weakness on this
team defensively.
Speaker 7 (01:53:18):
Yea, and to.
Speaker 2 (01:53:22):
No no question about it.
Speaker 7 (01:53:24):
Here comes the fun part, uh D.
Speaker 2 (01:53:30):
If you're deeming blocking and receiving, that's a the depth
of it all. It's a barely a passing grade. Yeah,
barely passing I.
Speaker 7 (01:53:37):
Got I got a D minors us.
Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
Well, they incomplete simply because of the well in class
they do. You can get in complete if you didn't
finish all the work I will give you. Well, put
it this way, Nico Collins elevates the the curve high
Tank Dell potential, but injured we Stefan Diggs was having
(01:54:04):
a good season when they got hurt. So counting the
injuries and he didn't have those guys and then Mechi
and Hutchinson, I'll give it a B minus. But if
you took the upper part of it and they stayed healthy,
it would have been creeping to A to an A minus.
The top level guys are good depth wise brings it down.
Nico Commins keeps it up. I don't think they're in
(01:54:24):
the C category. I think they're better, all right. I
also think that Nico raises him up. I'd probably give
him a B just because of the injuries. It's fair.
Speaker 6 (01:54:40):
Give me an fyne.
Speaker 2 (01:54:42):
Well, here's what we're doing. We're holding the offensive line
back a year. Hold them back a year. Hold the
back of your brother, Solid B this year, especially since
the expectations for me were higher, Solid B. And there's
(01:55:06):
some things he needs to get better at throwing the ball.
Speaker 8 (01:55:08):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (01:55:08):
But the overall grade, I can win with him at
a B. But there's still another level he's got to
get back to. I think he was hampered. I think
he was hampered by the coordinator at times. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 7 (01:55:21):
I just think he needs to utilize his legs more.
And I think that's and.
Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
That maybe a coaching point moving forward, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:55:31):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
And you know, okay, well, what he's.
Speaker 2 (01:55:40):
Done as a defensive coordinator, it's an A as a
head coach considering Yeah, and I know, I know, I'm
just saying. So he's in charge of the defense, so
you got it. That raises the grade. I think what
I love about where I'll give him an A is
that they didn't wait around when the season was over
not to make changes, which to me is important.
Speaker 6 (01:55:59):
That he didn't let his friendships with coaches this is business.
Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
I would say the accountability and discipline factor dragged it
down a little bit this year give me A this
year B two B minus. But I think he's got
A written all over and moving forward. But now I
can't give him an A because he's in charge of
the whole team, and I can't give him a D
because the offensive line didn't get coached upright or wasn't
(01:56:24):
performing right. So I would say be minus with with
I think he and Stroud in a similar situation for
different reasons, both with the growth to B and A
and really be special, but B B minus. My man,
somewhere in there.
Speaker 6 (01:56:39):
We had to we got to get to the okay,
any great stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:56:41):
Yeah, continue that conversation if you want tomorrow too, though,
But we obviously know what the and forget the special
teams really good most of the time, but at the
end with the kicker, I don't know what happened under
under pressure. Yeah, they they disappeared a little bit this year,
which is not normal for him. No, they didn't.

ninety is the number to join in order the longest way.
Let's start with Mike and they'll get to John. Mike,
(01:58:22):
what's happening?
Speaker 2 (01:58:23):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (01:58:24):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 6 (01:58:24):
We got you all right?
Speaker 12 (01:58:26):
Hey, I really appreciate what y'all do. You compliment each
other very well and very entertained and informative. I had
a brother, a son in law not long ago, and
I was making a comment to him about a five
star guy coming out of high school and how good
he's going to be, and he goes, no, he's not.
Let me show you something. I guess he played it
with Ckinny. He was the linebacker captain of the team
(01:58:47):
years ago, went on to play it in New Mexico
and then quit. He just got tired of it. Bottom line.
He said, let me explain to you something, and he
stays showing me these clips of this linebacker. And this
guy was a fifth Beasts and he was fast, and
he showed me how he would misread plays, but because
of his speed, he was able to make it up
(01:59:08):
in high school and catch the guy and look great.
He says he will not be able to do that
in college. So when when Sean was talking about the
offensive line, and frequently he talks about quarterback sliding and
things that they need to they do. It gives us
such great insight on the things that we're ignorant of.
So we make a come and think, wow, the offensive
line screwed up. Well, it may be that the quarterback
(01:59:29):
just didn't slide feed or manage to pocket. And I
know I've been sport watching sports all my life, but
it's nice to hear tidbits from someone who really knows.
So we really I really appreciate that, and I think
everybody else does too.
Speaker 2 (01:59:42):
Mike.
Speaker 6 (01:59:42):
Thank you, Mike, that's a hell of a compliment.
Speaker 2 (01:59:44):
Thank you appreciate it, and for both for all of us,
we thank you, and I think for us to me,
it's yeah, you don't ever want to get inundated with
I wish we were on TV part of it, you know, Simonkass,
so you could see and what would be I know
we talk about all the time, Brian, but just having
a telestrator here would be so good for two minutes
on a segment. When you say, okay, here's what I'm
(02:00:04):
talking about. Now you can see it the visualize without
getting two x's and oh's dive in complicated. It's hard
for some to visualize. Yeah, but hopefully we explain it
well enough to understand we're talking about when you slide
the line and move it and put a you know,
like when I said slide the line and you're moving it,
you're sliding the line to a protection to your best
defensive pass rusher. And if teams don't do it right,
(02:00:26):
sometimes you leave a running back on a big so
it's three hundred pounds versus one hundred and eighty five
or two hundred pounds, which you usually don't want. But yeah,
we try to and thank you. And he's one hundred
of ride about I guess it was his son who
told him about the five star. Yeah, and in high
school you can get away with it. I talk about
that you can throw late in high school a lot
of times if you've got a big strong arm and
get away with it because the windows are so big
(02:00:47):
to throw to. But when you get to college, they
were all high school all Americans or they were all
dominated in their city, and the speed's different. And then
you get to then the windows closed, where if you
don't anticipate the throwing windows or the windows to tackle
a guy are smaller, but they are bigger than you know,
they're smaller than high school, but they're still not NFL.
And then when you get to Sunday, the tackling window,
(02:01:08):
imagine if you miss by a half a step, Mix
and puts his helmet right through your chest, or Derek
Henry embarrasses you with a stiff arm if you miss
by a split second. As a quarterback, the ball is
tipped now by the corner. Instead of throwing on time
and anticipated a completion, now you're throwing the coffee can
size windows, you're tackling in space. The difference you've seen
(02:01:28):
some of these throws these guys make. Like the bender
that Josh Allen threw over the weekend. I mean, I
don't know how you fit it in that it was
so small and you're a fingernail away from somebody tipping it.
But if you throw that a split second late and
don't pull the trigger, bam, that's an incompletion or pick
so the margin for air is so every year it
gets less. So you can get away being a five
(02:01:50):
star guy and out running people. But if you're not
developing the mental side and understanding anticipation of what you're
looking at, you'll be behind. Because everybody can run. We
are in an NFL's where Michael Parsons can outrun seventy
five percent of the running backs. It's crazy, right, So
when you think about that, So what's the answer to that?
How do you combat that? You better be You better
(02:02:10):
beat him to the punch, because if you don't, it's
a long day. And that's why I tell these kids
and you do too. If you don't understand the mental
side and that approach to it, and you don't take
it as serious as the FI we all think it's
going out there and taking a snap and throwing it.
You can take a snap and throw it all you want,
but if you don't know where to throw it to,
it doesn't make it doesn't it's worth a hill of beans.
(02:02:33):
And I had one quarterback who I love, it is
going to be a great player. He went to college
after a great high school career, came back after his
freshman year, and you know, the first thing he said
to me because I harped on it since we were
in the eighth grade training and he's going to be
he's got special skills. He said, you were so right.
I didn't realize how fast it moved. And the mental
(02:02:55):
side of just your own stuff, of all the motions
and formation and oh, by the way, I got to
understand while I'm running those motions what the defense is doing. Yeah,
And I said, it moves pretty quick. And his perspective
on how to get ready for a season is completely different. Right,
But you can't tell them all you want until they
witness it. And it's like, oh damn, he wasn't kidding. Yeah,
(02:03:18):
and from this level to the next level, you have
no idea.
Speaker 6 (02:03:22):
It's part of the failure and growth.
Speaker 17 (02:03:23):
It is.
Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
It's sure as hell is, and it's a good thing
to learn now because you can fix it. You're right, exactly,
you can fix it. Yeah, exactly. Seven one, three, two, two,
five seven ninety. What's up, John?
Speaker 9 (02:03:33):
Hey?
Speaker 22 (02:03:33):
What's happening?
Speaker 12 (02:03:34):
Man?
Speaker 10 (02:03:34):
Was that?
Speaker 8 (02:03:35):
Hey?
Speaker 22 (02:03:35):
Brian, let me ask you a question, man, And I'm
being in all serious hops here, so no, no, no bs, Okay, your.
Speaker 6 (02:03:42):
Your team, you said, ten u team, right, I have
a ten U team now yep.
Speaker 2 (02:03:46):
Yeah, were they like based out of the New.
Speaker 6 (02:03:49):
Woodlands or no, it's it's all over Houston.
Speaker 22 (02:03:53):
Okay, So what you what you need to do is
like next time, the next season or whenever the next
season starts. You really, seriously, man, you need to reach
out to me, okay, and let me see about doing
some kind of sponsorship for y'all's team.
Speaker 6 (02:04:05):
Okay, love that.
Speaker 2 (02:04:07):
Actually, you know, with the select.
Speaker 22 (02:04:09):
Teams and all that. I mean, I know y'all can
always use money for traveling because I know how much
he's can only imagine nowadays how much these tournaments cost
in traveling.
Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
So yeah, we're actually talking about.
Speaker 5 (02:04:20):
Yeah, and we can we can discuss this a little
more like you know, I can message you about it.
But yeah, we're actually we're actually looking for an equipment
and apparel sponsor.
Speaker 22 (02:04:28):
So I mean around you know, Sean knows how to
get hold of me, drop me a line and and
let's you know, I mean, because it's all about the kids.
Speaker 6 (02:04:36):
Oh yeah, no doubt, Joe, we laugh.
Speaker 22 (02:04:38):
You know, you know, I don't expect nothing out of it.
It's about the kids and us giving back to the kids.
We just did it out here in Needville, Uh with
the four h with the Youth Fair dance and and sponsorship.
Uh get it up at the Deer Leaves at the
ranch with Gillespie County with their wild games Epper. So
(02:04:59):
it's I'm very serious about it.
Speaker 6 (02:05:01):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (02:05:01):
I appreciate that, John. Yeah, I'll definitely reach out to you, man,
because it's It's funny you asked that. We had practice
last night and one of the things we talked about
was trying to find a we need more apparel so
for my kid, not for me, but for the kids.
Speaker 6 (02:05:11):
So yeah, we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
I mean, every little bit helps put that name on
a jersey or on the sleeve.
Speaker 22 (02:05:19):
It don't matter, man, It's just it's it's about just
letting people know and helping people out.
Speaker 4 (02:05:25):
Man.
Speaker 22 (02:05:27):
Okay, let's talk offensive lines. Shown remember coach he In fact,
we y'all mentioned his name the other day. So Lance
and I go back zirline back in the back in
the days here at Richmond Mark Soliday at all that
remember his dad, coach?
Speaker 2 (02:05:44):
Well do I? Yeah? If I've worked a bunch of
camps with with uh, with Larry, with larry'serline and he
knows everything there is to know about line play. One
of the best offensive line coaches I've ever had the
pleasure of working camps and stuff. With that, I love
coach Airline.
Speaker 22 (02:05:57):
And that's the kind of meanness this team needs on
the offensive line side. When you said meanness and toughness
and getting after it and he quit, baby baby, I
had to watch my mouth there, baby. And these kids,
these these young men, these off of these professionals you got,
I mean, they need somebody to put their foot in
(02:06:18):
their butts and quit being their Damn hey, let's be
best friends. Demiko, put your foot in their butts. I
know it's a beating, beating a dead horse, but that's
the type of offensive line this coach line this team needs.
As far as Chip Kelly, I don't think it would
work because it didn't work in Philly. I think he's
(02:06:39):
better a better college coach than he.
Speaker 2 (02:06:41):
Is a professional coach.
Speaker 22 (02:06:42):
I just think about what what he he did in
Philly with that all star cast that he had over there.
I mean, Jim Andy Christmas, that was crazy and couldn't
do nothing with them.
Speaker 10 (02:06:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:06:55):
As far as the.
Speaker 22 (02:06:56):
Super Bowl, I think Candidacy is and for a world
to hurt, because I'm not gonna be shocked if Barkley
goes for two hundred, I won't be shocked at all.
But I'll say over one seventy damn faced running back
like him, besides Derek Henry. Now I know they faced Derek,
but I.
Speaker 2 (02:07:16):
Mean, dude, there's more, there's more wiggle with with h
With Barkley, he can get to the edge, little quicker. Yeah,
and it passed receiving out of the backfields a little
different too.
Speaker 22 (02:07:26):
I mean, look out, he went block flying right past
Washington on that first play. I mean you said, half
a second, half a second, you're looking at the back
of a.
Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
Jersey and a home run, no doubt.
Speaker 10 (02:07:39):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
So all right, man, appreciate it. It is uh all
right today though, till you knock out the champion if
it's a one score game.
Speaker 10 (02:07:52):
I have.
Speaker 2 (02:07:56):
While I love what Philly has done, and I They're
defense is pretty solid. Their offensive line can move the
pile it Spagnola, but we got two great defensive coordinators
in this maybe the two best in the league with
Fangio and him, Steve Spagnola. I'm just telling you, when
it gets right down to it. I still got If
you give me Jalen Hurts offensive throwing like you did
(02:08:17):
last week, game will be different. But if if he doesn't,
if they can stop that, I'm just telling you, until
you prove to me today, I'd bet three peete as
we sit today at please know what they're doing. And
I know we get frustrated and it's a bit maddening
and it's we call it fatigue. But I'm just telling
(02:08:38):
you what you're watching is different. It is different. There's
situational football. There is no better on the planet than
the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though it looks ugly at times,
I hate it, I know it's it is Philadelphia. Barkley
has to play great in this game, but so does Hurts.
Is going to have to be pretty damn efficient.
Speaker 3 (02:08:58):
Yea is old.
Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
I can't City, dude. I'm just telling you.
Speaker 5 (02:09:01):
I just man, if there is a defensive coordinator that'll
be able to game plan against an Eagles offense that
has aj Brown, Deavonte Smith and Saquon Barkley and oh,
by the way, the feet of Jalen Hurts, it is
Steve Spagnola. But man, that offense, for that offensive line,
for the Eagles they are and that's like Detroit. They're
really not having Jason Kelsey a part of that right
(02:09:23):
This this team.
Speaker 2 (02:09:25):
They look for in this I can just tell you
having known him for a long time and watched him,
Spagnola is gonna come into this game. Now, he's gonna
try to take all your dimensions away. But the first
and foremost thing he's going to do is making sure,
no matter how they do it, that that running back
doesn't take over the game. And he'll think his chances
will go up on third and seven in the fourth quarter,
(02:09:45):
blitzing hurts. They are pressuring him from different ways. I'm
just telling you, I know, excuse me, they've got one
major goal aside from winning defensively, that dude's not beating us. Yeah. Now,
whether they can or can't, it's another whole thing. But
you you make that dimension. And here's the crazy thing
about it is when healthy, they may have as good
(02:10:06):
a one to two punch at wide receiver. I mean,
they're as good as there isn't a league with as
far as home runs A J. Brown and Deavante Smith
can play. And yet we're talking about and it showed
last week with the quarterback played. They were two dimensional
team last week. Can Say's got their handsful, There is
no doubt about it. And you've got to be careful
if you load the line of scrimmage that if you're
(02:10:27):
going to play man covered, you're gonna be relying on
McDuffie and some really good players to make sure that
Devonte Smith and aj Brown don't get off that ball
as cleanly because if you do, now it's one on
one and chances. But Spagnola knows how to get you
and you will see something along the line different in
this that if Jalen Hurts has a weakness, Spagnola will
(02:10:48):
find it. Yeah, he'll exploit the he and then it'll
be up to how the other side of Justin. But
I'm just telling you, until you excuse me, knock out
the champion. I have a hard time picking against them.
I've seen too much.
Speaker 3 (02:11:00):
I hate it.
Speaker 5 (02:11:00):
I've seen too much of it this year. I know
it's incredible. Seven seven Niney's number to join. Continue to
roll along right here on the Shawn Salisbury Show.
Speaker 3 (02:11:10):
Sean Salisbury continues on seven ninety.
Speaker 6 (02:11:13):
You want your Alex bregnant update.
Speaker 2 (02:11:16):
Let me guess, let me get let me just guess
and you can repeat it. Toronto's back into the mix,
and he the contract that the tech that the Astras
have offered that won't be enough. Are we there? Yeah?
I think so still hadn't signed yet. He's still fraigent.
They're looking for a Pete Alonzo Alex Beregman package deal.
Speaker 5 (02:11:38):
I don't know, I don't know, but uh so the
Blue Jays apparently back in the mix. And actually, as
of an hour ago, Bleacher report.
Speaker 2 (02:11:45):
Austin back in the mix. Cubs, so he and King
he and who Kyle Tucker. I don't know if they're
gonna call him King Tuck on the north side Blumber.
So they'll be possibly back together again. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:11:58):
And Ryan Presley all right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:12:00):
Ryan Presley was interviewed yesterday by the media and he
also said that bringing Alex Bregman up to Chicago would
be a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
Well you think, of course it would. I'm at the
point now, upgrades a roster.
Speaker 6 (02:12:13):
I'm at the point now.
Speaker 5 (02:12:14):
If he doesn't want six for one fifty six, put
your foot down and say thank you for your time.
Speaker 6 (02:12:18):
Let's move on. Let's focus on a left handed bat business.
Speaker 2 (02:12:23):
Hey man, A stand on it.
Speaker 5 (02:12:25):
You're being offered twenty six MILLI year. No one else
has offered you more reportedly.
Speaker 2 (02:12:32):
I believe that that has to be a fact right now. Yeah, Now,
somebody may end up offering him. Good, go get the money.
I don't hate him for it. No, we'll get the
money from him going get his thing. But you can't
be held hostage by it. No, No, you can't won
the you won the it's the old. Okay, let's little
bitty you won the here's I'm posted mind. You do
(02:12:54):
whatever you gotta do. Yeah, And they have come up
empty on the two hundred million, Yeah, meaning the Boris Bregman,
you know, part of it. So they're gonna have to
take less than they want. But does that mean okay,
I'll take less, but I'm going somewhere else to take
less instead of coming back home. It's going to be
a tough pride swallow if you do it.
Speaker 15 (02:13:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:13:15):
I know when we're saying one hundred and fifty six
million is a tough pride swallow. Come on, but you
in the baseball term, so of what he thought he
was gonna get, in what he's probably gonna get is
gonna end up being about forty million or more less than.
Speaker 5 (02:13:25):
What he thought if he if he comes back here,
if he takes twenty six million from another team on
a shorter deal with maybe some opt outs, if he
takes the same AAV at twenty six million a year,
do you know how much of a slap in the
face that some of these fans are gonna feel. Just
think about it, fam I'm talking from a fan, but
(02:13:46):
I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (02:13:47):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (02:13:47):
I'm just talking about from a fan perspective because at
the end of the day, it's business. Don't feel like
they were okidoped Jose Altuve. He is going to go
down as the greatest astro of all time. And that's
no disrespect to Craig Bigio or Jeff Bagwell. It's gonna
be Jose al Tuvey. It's probably Hosee tu right now,
to be honest with you, I think that the folks
would say so. He has been very outspoken about bringing
(02:14:09):
Bregman back from the jump of the off season. He's
also said publicly that he would move to left field
to bring him back. And then also, there are a
lot of fans that think the organization traded Ryan Presley
to free up money to try to bring Alex Bregman back.
You have the greatest astue of all time, and you
traded Ryan Presley from a fan perspective, and he still
didn't want to come back here.
Speaker 2 (02:14:28):
Or that money is to free up money for an
outfielder for.
Speaker 6 (02:14:30):
An outfielder, yeah, either way, trying to improve the team.
Speaker 2 (02:14:33):
And then to even take it a step further, not
that al Tuove would be thinking this, but you've gone
to the ends of the earth to want him here.
And if he leaves for the same price, yeah, dude,
it'll tell you that it didn't really matter what you said. Yeah,
if he leaves for the same price, let's say everything's
the same, No, optis, but everything's the same.
Speaker 6 (02:14:53):
And he goes somewhere else, it will tell you that
he was never coming here.
Speaker 2 (02:15:01):
No, he didn't want to come back, that he wanted
to leave for a change of pace for whatever reason,
scenery because why And I don't listen, I'm not big
grudge anybody for if there's whatever the reason is you
want to leave, you really you owe it to your
family first, and then you branch out, not the other
way around. It's not out in, it's in out right.
And the respect for fans and some of you know,
I'm wonder if it's not. I don't take it personal.
(02:15:21):
We go do what you want. But it would be
a you're on a World Series half team, you talk
about how much you love each town, Why are you
leaving for the same price? To me, that would mean
the ego couldn't take it and turned down and come
back here that you wanted to send the message, because
it's almost like there's some crow you don't want to
eat because you didn't get the extra forty some million dollars.
(02:15:43):
Why else would you not stay here? Now, if it
was a million dollars more a year and six million
dollars more over the court, I'd sit back and say, okay,
and the big scheme of things is it. But then
you'd also say, but it's still six million more. I
won't blame him if he leaves for this. I'm not
gonna blame him, but I am going to say they
(02:16:03):
loved him more than he loved them. And no offense
to the Chicago Cubs. They don't have a better chance
to win a World Series next year than the Astros too,
even with Presley and Kyle Tucker. Now I say that, now,
who knows how coming out of screen you'll catch a
hot do with the Astros, I mean with the pockets
have done this year with Tigers where they've elevated, you know,
(02:16:25):
like I get it, But it would it would it
would be it would feel like you were huh. But
like I've always said, if you really think that loyalty
in sports when it comes to going to a certain
place is because they're rarely do they take the fans
in the place before they take money.
Speaker 4 (02:16:44):
Rarely.
Speaker 2 (02:16:45):
That's just the realalistic part of it, because they'll just
say fans in Chicago love me too. It's not they
disliked the fans. But usually fans and area never take
the lead over money and years.
Speaker 5 (02:17:01):
Yeah, it's very rare that you find Jose Ramirez who
takes a boatload of less money to stay Tom Brady.
Yeah Tom Brady year and stayed there and for all
those years, yeah, twenty years, and you know what, was
never the highest paid quarterback in the league, and every
year should have been once he started winning super Bowls,
because isn't that the whole object of the game?
Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
Winning?
Speaker 6 (02:17:21):
Yes, and he did it.
Speaker 2 (02:17:22):
I mean the guy should have been the guy. Judge
you from his rigs should have been the highest played
player for fifteen years in football history, every single frigging year. Yeah,
but his was I'm gonna make salary cap easy on you. Yeah.
So some people are built different. If Bregman comes back, great.
If he leaves and it's not for more money or
more years, the fan base, there will be some that
(02:17:43):
are plenty offended by it. There's going to be a lot, Yeah,
but it'll teach a valuable lesson the athletes always taking
money in years usually, but if it's equal, that's that's
even like that, that's even cuts a little deeper, right,
because you're like, well, I thought he loved us, Why
isn't he back here for the same amount of money,
in the same money years and a chance to win
a World Series. It'll tell you something. And we wouldn't
know the reasons other than money in years, I guess, yeah,
(02:18:05):
and who knows what's going to happen, But they're still
shopping him.
Speaker 5 (02:18:09):
Yeah, ort, that's right. Yeah, And money is not required
to buy one necessity of the soul.
Speaker 2 (02:18:15):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (02:18:16):
It's what Henry David Throw said.

Speaker 3 (02:20:43):
And we're Valor for the Sean Salisbury show continued.
Speaker 5 (02:20:49):
An American Airlines jet collided with an Army helicopter in Washington.
DC official said that there's no survivors expected. US figure
skaters among the passengers in the DC crash. Future Olympians
on that crash sixty seven. I believe we're on board
and they're expecting no survivors. There were some Russian coaches, Yeah,
(02:21:12):
Russian coaches.
Speaker 2 (02:21:13):
On on board as well. Yeah, yeah, but it doesn't
matter all of them. What a horrible well, what a
horrible thing to happen, and you know it, just nobody survived.
Speaker 5 (02:21:29):
At sixty passengers and four crew members on that American
Airlines flight, three crew members on the Army helicopter.
Speaker 2 (02:21:36):
I guess you ask how does it happen? Which is
what they're trying to figure out now. I just very sad.
Speaker 5 (02:21:42):
I it's it where we are with technology. It's awful sensors,
night vision, air traffic controllers, all the technology.
Speaker 6 (02:21:54):
How does something like this happen?
Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:21:57):
It's been reported that the Shawan, the American Airlines jet,
was five hundred feet above the ground getting ready to land.
Speaker 6 (02:22:04):
Landing gear was out. They're about to land on the airport,
on the tarmac.
Speaker 2 (02:22:08):
Yeah, I just I don't know, and I you know,
you always refrain from pointing fingers because you don't know
what it is right right now. I mean probably not
whose fault it is that the families are wanting to
get to the bottom of it. No, but it just
I mean a lot of mourning going to happen for
(02:22:28):
what was supposed to be just a simple landing and
going from what Kansas which talk to d C and
you think everything's going to be fine. I'm sure flying
into d C, you know, there's some beautiful visuals when
you go you know what I'm saying, all those things
you think, oh man, and before you know it, something
like that happens. It's awful, awful, It's awful, terrible. Yep,
(02:22:49):
sorry to see that that happened.
Speaker 5 (02:22:51):
Fly carried sixty passengers, four crew members, and that army
helicopter had three soldiers on board. And again the reports
this morning from Washington, from water Washington, d C. Is
that no one survived. Both aircrafts plunged in the Potomac River. Obviously,
you can imagine how cold it is up in the
Northeast and with that water. Just a terrible tragedy, man,
(02:23:11):
Just unspeakable tragedy late late yesterday afternoon of the evening,
and of course all the.
Speaker 6 (02:23:18):
More details coming out this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:23:20):
So looks like a President Trump is going to address
the nation in regards to this at ten o'clock this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:23:25):
So just awful, man.
Speaker 5 (02:23:26):
And then to come to find out obviously, it affects
the sports world a little bit with the US Figure
Skating saying that they're skaters were returning from a developmental
camp that followed the US Figure Skating Championships over the weekend.
You had a pair that actually competed in the Olympics,
and then you had some young ones that were gonna
try to get to the Olympics. I mean for everybody
on board, everybody involved, friends, family, just everybody, just awful.
Speaker 1 (02:23:46):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Prayers go out to them. Just terrible.
Speaker 5 (02:23:48):
It sure is oh Man, man, oh Man, not good
real quick with this Alex Bregman stuff. And I know
we've talked about it a little bit each day as
we continue to roll along closer and closure. We're official, Sean,
We're officially two weeks from pictures and Catchers reporting. Two
(02:24:09):
weeks from today will be the first workout for the Astros,
pitchers and catchers.
Speaker 2 (02:24:14):
Is there a party that thinks Alex Bregman has an
idea where he's going or do you think it's still
zero idea where he's going to play this late in
the in the at the party or did this far
into it?
Speaker 5 (02:24:25):
I don't think, I really don't. I think he is
and this is again this is our opinion, my opinion.
I think he is waiting for thirty million year from
somebody and he is not going to budge on it.
Speaker 2 (02:24:35):
How are you getting it now?
Speaker 3 (02:24:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:24:37):
Good question. Let Boris work his magic. If he has
what a two year deal thirty million a year.
Speaker 5 (02:24:42):
With or maybe a three year deal with two years
with a year opt out, like we always see you
from Boris clients. When it gets this late in the game.
Speaker 2 (02:24:50):
Somebody will give it to him. I don't do opt outs.
I'm just sorry to tell you. I just don't do it.
I'm getting you for a reason, and one of it
isn't to have you have a great season, turn around
and leave on me again. No, I'm adamantly against him,
and I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if it caught well,
if you don't give a player an opt out, you're
never getting him. Well, then guess what I'll survive without him?
One player ain't running my show. I'm not just talking
about Bregant. I'm talking about anybody. The crayon thing. I
(02:25:13):
was adamant and you know that. Don't give him an out.
I don't care. Don't give him an opt out.
Speaker 3 (02:25:17):
Just don't do it.
Speaker 2 (02:25:18):
And guess what they didn't somebody else did. That's fine,
but there are certain things you got to stand on.
And I know you like business, but you got to
stand on beliefs that unless it's some special circumstances, you're
give an opt out. I just wouldn't do it. I'm
signing you because I want you with us. I'm not
signing with you to have a great season and use it.
It's like the old days when talked about you know
(02:25:41):
when even til when Fatina came in here. Remember when
University of Houston they got tired of coaches using them
as a bridge. And he said, no, this isn't a
bridge program anymore to get to a bigger program. This
is one you come want to stay at. And we've
seen that in hoops and you know, hopefully Willie Fritz
is here for a long time. And it's the same
thing here. I'm not your bridge after you kick to
ask for us and read and you're good, I'm not
(02:26:02):
your bridge to have you do that and then turn
around and leave the next year. You don't get that
opt out ability. I won't do it. If our offer's
not good enough, you got to go somewhere else, whether
it's Bregman or anybody else. So, and there's certain things
you know that I'm not real flexible on that. I'm flexible,
and a lot of stuff not on that I wouldn't
do opt outs man, That's right. I just wouldn't do it.
Once you open it, once you got to do it,
(02:26:23):
I'm not into it. And I stand firm with Jim
Crane or Dana Brown, whoever. I'm not. I'm not paying
you good money to come to see me then turn
around and going, WHOA, well man, We just have to
have a great year and healthy for one hundred and
fifty games, and now you get to leave on me. Sorry,
not not doing it. If you don't like our offer,
then will negotiate. If not, then you're gonna have to
go play somewhere else, whether it's Bregman or anybody else.
(02:26:44):
So I don't know what he's gonna get. I have
a hard time believing that one fifty six being the
top offer. I don't have a hard time believing that.
But between now and then, somebody's gonna raise the stakes
fifty million dollars bidding against themselves more than likely. No,
I don't think that's gonna happen. But I don't know
what he's saying. I'd love to have him back here,
but I'm also a realist and saying if he doesn't
(02:27:05):
come back here, we're still going to show up and
you're still gonna have a chance to compete in April,
so have at it. Yeah, you got Paradis for a reason,
and you've secured if now what would really be a
bummer if you didn't have a third base when you
were like, well, we're play third base, and now we
got this, what are we doing now you're you're protected.
So you don't need to upgrade your offer unless you're
in love with him. But if you were in love
(02:27:25):
with him, you wouldn't have thought that you had to
get paradis to move him in the first place. And
they may love him, and he may love them, and
I love Bregman, but I also know that there's a
certain point you're just gonna have to move on that
both to move on or get here, and let's get
to let's get to going. So I thought the longer
it took, the more he'd come back. The longer it
(02:27:46):
takes that it almost feels like they're looking for a
reason to go somewhere else. Not not that they're saying it,
but just my interpretation of it is that this offer
is not good enough, and it would be you just
can't take it. So if you can't take but if
you're the Texans, and you are Texans, if you're the Astros,
and you raise it two or three million a year,
(02:28:07):
then you've given in flexibility is one thing.
Speaker 6 (02:28:10):
That's what twelve million across that.
Speaker 2 (02:28:12):
Would go fifty six sixties but almost a buck seventy.
Speaker 12 (02:28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:28:15):
Now, if they did it and you were loved him,
I'm all for it. But if you're standing firm and
you're bidding against yourself, it's a it's a wrong idea. Yeah,
six fifty six, Yeah, so once about one seventy.
Speaker 5 (02:28:25):
Fourteen sixty eight. Yeah, if the twelve to fourteen million above, yeah, right,
I'm not doing it. I'm staying firm. Where I'm at
the market is the market man, like you don't have
to move. Look at these are the third baseman, and
if you're lose.
Speaker 2 (02:28:36):
Them, then you're just gonna have to hope that Parades
and the other guys, and you're gonna have to do
what you've done great in the minor leagues. Develop these
guys and continue to do it and count on trust
that they're going to get it done.
Speaker 6 (02:28:47):
That's why you got them in the organization.
Speaker 5 (02:28:48):
Yeah, I mean you have a very talented young core,
like like extremely the cam Smith kid that just came here.
You got Zach Dezenzo, Shay Whitcamb Jacob Melton, you got
a good young core, develop them and see what they
got and just.
Speaker 2 (02:29:02):
Go get a damn some point time, you're gonna have
to put him out there and say let's go. Yeah,
and I I'm and you know, I'd love to delay it.
Let Bregman do it. But a big problem that's been
great for the ashlest because they're winning, is young players
hard to break into this lineup. Well, this may be
an opportunity for somebody, even though Paradus is here, to
move around people and get a couple of young bodies.
Speaker 5 (02:29:19):
Yeah, you know when you uh uh talk about the
paradist thing. If if you don't bring Bregman back, well,
then Praide is your third basement on how two days
of the second then you got to.
Speaker 6 (02:29:27):
Go upgrade the outfield.
Speaker 2 (02:29:28):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (02:29:29):
So that should be the focus. All right, let's get
into the final second. Got some news from arch Manning
in the University of Texas.
Speaker 6 (02:29:33):
What's that about?
Speaker 3 (02:29:36):
This is the Sean Salisbury showful.
Speaker 2 (02:29:43):
This is Brandon Smith.
Speaker 6 (02:29:45):
I don't know if last name I say, damn, Brando's
on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (02:29:48):
And I and I like Brandon's point here and and
I'm and I don't think he means it personal, but
I think he's to the to who he's talking about.
But I think he's fought on. To be honest, I'm
tired of hearing about Bregman. I think a lot of
people are fatigued with this. I think so one way
or the I think it went to the point that
(02:30:08):
if you were sitting on the fence, you're like, enough,
just make a decision. If you love it, you say
we got to have them or we can't win. There's
that group and then there's the group that we've heard
a lot here, Let's try to move on, move young, play,
let's let's go and the questions, which one is production wise,
he's going to have to be better offensively, right mm hmm.
And I think he's you know, we know he's got
great ability. I'd love to have him here. But I
(02:30:29):
understand the fatigue of the constant. I mean, we have
to talk about it because he's been an integral part
of this relationship here with the Astros and their success.
But there also comes a point where's like, okay, enough
one way or the other, right, Yeah, but it's his career,
and I think most people don't want to hear. And
(02:30:54):
I know that sports are different when it comes to
money and salary and all it. They just are. It's
not normal all the money, and I get it, and
I don't begrudge. I'm not getting anybody's wallet. But I
do know this. It's hard for the average fan to
see how you're still haggling over twenty six to twenty
eight million when you're making one hundred and fifty six
million for six years. Yeah, and in truth, your production's
(02:31:16):
gone down offensively. Yes, I think that's where the fans
are having trouble, and I don't blame them. Plus, you
don't get going until June, right, you hit defensive, we're
hitting two sixty five in a force. I mean, now
you're hitting better. But those two months show up in
the numbers at the end obviously. And he's, like I said,
a really good player. But I do get the fatigue
by fans. They're tired of it.
Speaker 12 (02:31:37):
I do.
Speaker 2 (02:31:38):
And I think Brandon Smith is spot on one way
or the other.
Speaker 6 (02:31:41):
Yeah, I agree, I agree with him. Real quick.
Speaker 5 (02:31:43):
Some news from arch Manning, Texas quarterback sign an NIL
deal with Red Bull. Yeah, six point six million of
nil evaluation with all of his nil.
Speaker 2 (02:31:59):
Deals tough, So he's at six point six right now
with all of his Yeah, it's good, good, good to
be him.
Speaker 6 (02:32:07):
How much money you think you would have made an
n I O in your career in college?
Speaker 15 (02:32:11):
Yes? On?
Speaker 6 (02:32:12):
Were you there at USC three years?
Speaker 10 (02:32:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:32:15):
Nobody left early then? Oh that's right, okay, because you
were allegedly you know, well I was used to making money. Well, yeah,
allegedly no, no off trickt sales. Yeah, exactly, That's what
I'm talking about, allegedly. Do you want me to be
it sounds area you ask me if you took the
on put it this way, if you took the number
one recruit going now, that's what I'm saying, like you
(02:32:35):
applied it to when I was the number one recruit number.
Speaker 6 (02:32:38):
The fact you don't mean it arrogant, it is.
Speaker 3 (02:32:40):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (02:32:43):
Well, if you applied it to the money now, yeah,
ten mil, well I'd be making more than arch Manning.
Speaker 6 (02:32:52):
Yeah, twelve mil.
Speaker 2 (02:32:55):
It would be double, it would be it would be
it would be eight figures. How much do you remember
a three sport athlete as well? Yeah, because you could
double dip in other sports. Was the number one recruit
in the country, and at that point, at six five two,
you know, and then when you're sophomore before you get hurt,
you're leading the nation and passing and we got the top.
(02:33:15):
So yeah, it would have been. Put it this way,
i'd have made judging from when I made it coming
out and blowing out my knee and being a free agent,
I would have made more in my NIL career than
I did first six seven in one year. In NIL
first six or seven years, I probably did total in
my NFL career until you got to you know, when
you getting gold because at that point salaries have changed
(02:33:37):
over right, But oh yeah, it would have been eight figures.
Speaker 6 (02:33:40):
How much do you think Johnny Manziel would have.
Speaker 2 (02:33:42):
Made coming out of school? Not much because he wasn't
highly recruited. Yeah, after his Heisman Trophy year and leading
into when Johnny football came around. Big if you could
all the jury he'd have made, that had have been
an eight figure deal as well. Tim Tebow because of
what he not that Arch isn't going to get it
arts because there's sore. They pick and choose their deals rightfully.
So the MANU fans got such great perspective. Who else
(02:34:04):
did you say, Tim coming out of school while he
was there? Yeah, what I'm talking about. I mean national championships,
Heisman Trophy, wholesome, a lot of money, A lot of money.
So it's not just when you're coming out now because
of high school. It's when you're there and then while
you're standing in and you're dominating while you're there. Oh yeah,
he'd have made a bundle.
Speaker 5 (02:34:23):
Do you think Tim Tebow You don't have to answer this,
but well I'll answer. Do you think Tim Tebow took
money while he was at Florida?
Speaker 2 (02:34:30):
I think Tim Tebow only in the legal way. I
believe he was about as wholesome as you think he was.
Speaker 6 (02:34:38):
Really. I do you don't think there's any part, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:34:40):
May baby sell a ticket where he goes out and
somebody gives them a littlection?
Speaker 14 (02:34:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:34:43):
Yeah, yeah. But do I think he was taking hand
to hand cash? I don't. I don't think a guy
can live by those standards because he feels like he's
at peace. I don't think he can live by the
not saying it was right or wrong. I just think
that his from my vantage point and having met him,
his morals and values. I think. Do I think that
if it was a way to put it in a
trust where he could have got do. I think he
somebody just hand him hand to hand cash like the
(02:35:04):
you know, the handshake like Johnny Manzil was doing. I
think he probably would have said, hold on to that,
catch me when it's when I'm allowed.
Speaker 11 (02:35:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35:09):
I think he'd probably been pretty fair with that. It's craziness,
isn't it. But he'd have made a lot of money
if if it was legal to take money when he
played well, I think about it, trust me when it's
pizzas would have there have been a lot of people
eating good in my college if I'd have been on
nil with my teammates because I had probably been the
(02:35:30):
guy outside of my family, my mom and dad, they
wouldn't expect anything. To give it to them. I would
have them first. Yeah. Family. My teammates would have friggin
loved me because I bought them. But my al linement
would have been driving cars out of my salary in
college because I would have been like, I don't care,
I'll make more money some other time. Take care of
the fellows because they take care of me.
Speaker 6 (02:35:47):
What was the rich man car back then?
Speaker 2 (02:35:49):
Oh, you know, like the BMW's and Mercedes, the BMW
convertibles and go home.
Speaker 5 (02:35:54):
For a week during the holidays and you pull up
in your parents driveway driving a Mercedes Like.
Speaker 2 (02:35:59):
What the yeah, my dad, right, I wouldn't have been
driving a Chevy Love pick up mini pick up. Okay,
plus on on Sunset Boulevard with Tony Katain.
Speaker 9 (02:36:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:36:10):
No, actually I've never no, never, never did. But it's
not Tony. It's Tawny. But that being said, rest in peace,
Rest in peace. I will tell you this though. My
my teammates, Yeah, I would have thought it was the
coolest bad I mean because I would. I would have
