Speaker 3 (01:51):
But I want to get right.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Into the conversation because yesterday we heard from Coach Sark
being down at the text this High School Coaches Convention.
I heard Craig Way talking about to make sure you
listen to the Voice of the Texas Longhorns this afternoon
from two to five pm. But make sure that you're
always tuned in because we are the home of the

(02:14):
Texas Longhorns, and Craig Way is the voice of the
Texas Longhorns, and you can listen to every game right
here on sports Radio and thirteen hundred the ZUM. But
you heard him talking about Coach Sark and getting an
opportunity to speak at the Texas High School Coaches Convention.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
We heard him yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Talk about twenty three players that were drafted over the
last two seasons, and nineteen of those players played Texas
high school football. So that's pretty dog un impressive. I
didn't realize that until Coach Sark brought that up, and
I was like, wow, because he gets players from all
over the country, but nineteen of those players are of

(02:56):
the twenty three are from the state of Texas, so
it's really really cool. But two of those players in
that room of the linebackers obviously are Anthony Hill and
Colin Simmons, but they brought in some other players as well.
But Coach Stark talked about the linebacker room.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I'll touch on Tray Moore first. Was a great
addition for us last year. You know, brought a really
steady veteran mindset and approach to what he does, got
great work ethic. I really thought Trey came on the
second half of last season. You could feel his presence
especially on third down, especially against you know, really quality

(03:36):
opponents that we were playing, you.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Really feel his presence.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
We were trying to utilize his versatility a little bit
more this year than we did a year ago, and
he provides some position flexibility for us. So you know,
last year was primarily playing edge and a little outside linebacker.
We're now leading with him playing linebacker that can offset
and be a DPR designated past rusher for us, and

(04:00):
so his versatility is going to be big for us.
I think he's poised for a great season. I think
he's had a great offseason. I was just talking talking
to coach Beckton about him yesterday as a matter of fact,
that what a difference from one year the next has
made for Trey more being in the program, and how
good of a summer he's had, which I think is
setting up for for a heck of a heck of a
season for him this fall.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Trying to get that money, his time for him and
and hard I brought this up a couple of months ago.
We really haven't seen the best of him. The best
of him was before he got here, and now that
you know, Colin Simmons is going to be getting a
lot of double teams and a lot of chipping and

(04:44):
running backs playing.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
He's gonna get one on ones. Came became double team
both of them.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, remember when he came to the University of Texas,
he was playing more of a defensive end type of Bryer.
Now they've got to move to the linebacker room along
with Anthony Hill, and you get a chance to see
on the outside with Colin Simmons and what he's been
able to do. There's no way Colin Simmons is coming
off the field anymore, you know what I'm saying, Like

(05:11):
they used him, Like he said, the designated pass rusher
is now going to be Trey more because you don't
bring him off the field. You don't bring Colin Simmons off. Yeah,
it is him and him alone. So he is him
And that's why he went to number one, because I'm.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
The one number one because.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yes, and we all understand that. So we have number
Z ro and Anthony Hill. We got number one, Anthony
Hill Jr. Let me make sure I make that junior
Colin Simmons at number one. And then of course you
got Trey Moore playing that week side linebacker along with
Leona Lafoule as well, So wouldn't have the number three

(05:52):
if his name is Trey, Well he didn't. I mean,
ma'ma call him Clay, Colin Clay. I mean somebody else
I met him already had that number, Like Gilbo, I
mean Jalen Gilbot had that number. You're not giving that up.
This is this is college. Go find a new number.
Yeah boy, I got this car. Yeah, this gas card.
You know you need this gas card. Gilbo is like, dude,

(06:14):
I'm on the same amount of money you get, so.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't need that.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
But you know, you look at this team and you
try to figure out, all right, what's happening with it?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
And you got that linebacker room.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
But one of the biggest things, speaking of gas cards
and all the money that is involved in it, you
have to be able to balance it.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Coach Sark has said this numerous times.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't want to have to deal with all the
other stuff that goes with college football in today's game.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I want to be a ball coach.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
If you look around, everybody has a general manager. Texas's
general manager is Brandon Harris, and Brandon Harris has done
a great job of, let's say, balancing the books on
this situation, and coach Sart spoke about his role as
the general manager.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Oh, Brandon Harris is our general manager.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
And again I think everybody operates a little bit differently
of what that looks like from a general manager standpoint.
But in this day and age of revenue sharing, nil,
publicity rights, whatever you want to call it, there's a
there's you have a cap that you're trying to operate within,
and how do you.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Manage that cap?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
And that cat pertains to really three layers to your team, right,
There's there's a recruitment cap right in the call like
it is, players are getting paid to go to school,
and so how much do you allocate to.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
That area in your cap?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
And then you know, how do you give him that
money that you allocate in that cap per position per player.
Then there's your current roster of what you're paying players
within your roster, and then there's retention of your roster
and what you're gonna do with the players that are
on your roster moving forward.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
And so sure what, I love to spend a bunch
of time doing that.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Not really I like being a football coach, right like
I like coaches.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
X's and o's I like motivating players. I like, you know,
looking at.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
It at how we're gonna try to win the game
week in and week out. I like evaluating players for
the recruiting process.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
So it's a.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Little bit of a thankless job. And Brandon does a
tremendous job for us of doing that. Clearly, we work
collaboratively on those things and so that we're on the
same page. But that takes a lot of time. It
takes a lot of effort. It takes a lot of
managing those things to work within a cap. Because somewhere
down the road, I don't know if it's tomorrow, next week,

(08:38):
next year, somebody's gonna get punished for going over the cap.
And I surely don't want to be the school it
gets punished for doing that because I like coaching and
I like the salary that University of Texas pays me
to coach.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Let's be frank, okay, So I don't want to be.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Suspended for six games and then lose that money and
then I gotta go home to Miss Lorielle as she
tells me, why didn't your paycheck come in this week?

Speaker 5 (09:00):
So we have allocated somebody.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
To do that, and I think it's really important, just
no different than how the NFL allocates people to manage
their cap and have a general manager to do those things.
And Brandon's got a great team that works for him,
and I'm sure everybody up here in some way, shape
or ford has to have something very similar as it
pertains to general manager Roles.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Two things hard.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
One, I don't think that nobody's gonna be complaining at
their house about one check not coming in, not even
six checks coming in. No, not going to be done.
And where did they Where did they record that?

Speaker 3 (09:40):
A wind tunnel?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, I mean they had to record it because he's
at the coach's convention and everybody don't have access like
we do at a normal deal.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
So they just recorded it, Oh with their phone? Yeah yeah,
come on, guys, step your game up.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
How they don't have the they don't have the capability
of getting up there to put that up you but
Shark was talking on the microphone. They couldn't get up
there to put their phones up there. Man, you the
one trying to disrespect the people for how we got
the audio.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
There's the other means and devices that you can use.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Then I should have gone to go find a different
audio that's on me, not on the person recording that.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Okay, yeah, yeah, let's do that. Let's do that.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
So Coach Shark has given us the breakdown on how
uh this is becoming the balance and he said it
before and he's gonna continue to always say it. He
does not want to deal with the other part of it.
But in his own words, you either adapt or you
get passed by.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
He's adapted.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Other teams are adapting as well, and that is why
he can. He can go out and coach his squad
while other people are dealing with the ancillary stuff that
turns into major, major moves.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's the smartest team though, to not have your focus
on things that you can't control.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
You can't control it, like, let somebody else do that job.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, they know the number, and he said at numerous times,
we have us a cap we have us a set up,
and we know exactly how we want to run it.
So I'm excited to see how they continue to run
these types of things. We're just getting started on a
Texas Tuesday edition of The Morning Kickoff right here on
Sports Radio. When we come back, the crypt keeper is

(11:32):
talking and we're not happy about it. We got Joke
Cook of Inside Texas coming up at seven thirty four,
and of course more NFL talk, but.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
The Jerry Jones what is your problem? Man?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
We'll talk about it right here on the Morning Kickoff
on Sports Radio and thirteen hundred The Zone. Welcome back
to a Texas Tuesday edition of The Morning Kickoff right
here on Sports Radio and thirteen hundred than the Zone.
Yesterday we found out that Malcolm Jamal Warner had passed away,

(12:06):
and I grew up with THEO basically, I think a
lot of us did in The Cosby Show and all
those great people that were a part of that. And
a little bit later, I'm gonna play one of the
all time greatest scenes that was part of The Cosby Show,

(12:32):
that that show shaped so many people in so many
different ways and made it popular for us to believe
that we could all sit down and have dinner in
a household where there was successful people in it and
not just the stereotypical family like good Times, right, you

(12:52):
know they tried to make good times, yeah, man, but
the Cosby Show. But the Cosby Show was something that
a lot of people grew to love for a very
very long time. So sad day yesterday and it kind
of swept all over the news. But we'll play a
scene a little bit later, but right now, I want

(13:13):
to go to Oxnard, California, where one where one Jerry
Jones decides that, you know, I'm not gonna disrespect one person,
I'm gonna try to disrespect everybody and just say some
outlandish and some crazy, crazy things. By the way, there

(13:35):
was a fight yesterday at practice already, so cowboys are
in rare form as we speak.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
They go out there and start swinging on each other.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
They haven't even been around each other that long to
be able to get out there and start a fight.
But Jerry decided it was time to address quite a
few things, and one of those things was one Micah Parsons. Obviously,
Michael Parsons is a guy that we've all been trying
to get signed. Mark you talk about, well, if you're

(14:05):
not gonna sign them, trade him and see what happens
there and see what you can get on there. But
there's so much more in the underlying situation. One of
the questions that Jerry was asked was do you talk
to David Muguletta, the agent for Micah Parsons and He
was very adamant, I don't talk to him.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Nope, I haven't had a word with him.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And it kind of scratches our head and makes us think,
why haven't you talked to him? But here's Jerry talking
about don't I don't talk to that agent.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
I'm sure with the athletic Jerry, if you had a
chance to actually talk to his agent.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
Yet, I've talked with people that have talked to him.
Let's put it like that. You know, I don't necessarily
talk to these agents, So I don't necessarily talk to attorneys.
And I do stuff everywhere, and I don't necessarily talk
to the peeople that are hired to do certain things.

(15:02):
I talk to the principals ninety percent of the time.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm shocked. I'm just sitting here like, how can you
be a businessman at his magnitude? How can you operate
with hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of
dollars in your daily work life and you don't deal

(15:28):
with attorneys? Well, I just want I mean football side,
he generalized. He said that he does not he talks
to principles.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's because his son is the one that talks to
all the agents.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
His son is the one.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Stephen Jones is the one that does the contact and
the negotiation. And Stephen said it hisself, he said, Jerry's
not lying. I'm the one that have those conversations. So
what ends up happening is the middleman. He's the middleman.
He goes and tells Jerry and then they decide on
what their next move is going to be. But I

(16:06):
do understand where you're coming from, like, hey man, we
need to get this thing figured out. And if you're
the one that has to sign off and sign on,
I talk to the players. I talk to all of them,
but Steven talks to the owner. So we're trying to
get the deal done. Well, why can't they all just
get in the room. We're we're there's three of us

(16:27):
in this room.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It shouldn't be more than four or five people in
the meeting room with Jerry Jones and Michael Parson. Shouldn't
be yeah, representatives, business minds and the actual principles. Jerry Jones,
Stephen Jones or the principals with the cowboys, Micah his lawyer,

(16:53):
and maybe somebody to scribe everything. That's it, guys, the
going rate for this position in the top three positions.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Is this?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Patrick Ewan, center for the New York Knicks, had the
best contract of any contract that's ever existed. He got
a percentage of what the top five guys in the
NBA made for ten years or twelve years. Of how

(17:26):
alone that deal was he made. It was a way
ahead of his time. How about that? How about that,
Michael Jerry? The next four years, Michael will get the
balance of the top three defensive players in the NFL

(17:47):
and not. If you want to take it even further,
you can say quarterback money too.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
You can say football period, I want the top three.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Well that then, thery, that sounds great, but that is
not necessarily what Jerry wants to do. And here is
why Jerry states, I don't always want to pay everybody
right away.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Here.

Speaker 7 (18:09):
Just because we signed him doesn't mean we're going to
have him. He was hurt six games last year. Seriously,
we've signed I remember signing a player for the highest
paid at the position in the league and he got
knocked out two thirds of the year, Dark Prescott. So
there's a lot of things you can think about when
you just as the player does, when you're thinking about

(18:33):
committing and guaranteeing money.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
What commitment guaranteeing money?

Speaker 1 (18:41):
He has gotten to the point now that Jerry is
fighting for his life when it comes to these contracts.
He's mad at Trey von Diggs. He's fined him for
not doing the workouts and he said, I have to
do it because I'm trying to set a precedent. Jerry's

(19:06):
getting to the point now where he's becoming.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Angry about certain things. Now.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Jerry's getting to the point now where he is starting
to truly understand or not understand how his moves have
affected his bottom line.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I guess you would say.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
But the funny thing about it is if he decided
with his whatever his son is doing for him, if
they decided that they wanted to get people locked up.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Earlier, wouldn't that's what.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
They should do. He talked about water under the bridge.
After you've played two years, that's already gone. I need
to know what's gonna happen moving forward. And it's like,
what you mean, what do you I don't understand how
Micah Parsons is considered all accounts, in all numbers to

(20:03):
be one of the best players in the NFL, and
you're doing everything you can possibly do to not pay
him the money that he deserves. At this particular point, what.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
If Michael just said, Okay, I'm a bet on myself.
I'm gonna play this season. If I get hurt, I
get hurt, but I am not negotiating next year.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Mike.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
I mean, Michael's there, he showed up, He's done what
he needed to do, He's been in camp, he showed
up on time, he did everything. Mike has done everything
the right way. Now Jerry may say I think that
this is gonna work out. I think we're gonna get
to the bottom line of this, But once again, you're

(20:48):
complaining about something that you could have been ahead of.
That's the thing that bothers me the most. Look at
do the Philadelphia Eagles. Are they having any problem right now?
Up speaking of they signed Andrew mccooba yesterday. He got

(21:08):
his money, he's gonna be in camp with his contract.
But the fact still remains that we are put into
the Cowboys are put in a position every single time
because of the negligence of waiting too long. You just
saw what what TJ. Watt just signed for. And every

(21:30):
time a player signs the money goes up and if
I'm Michael Parsons, I'm not giving you no deal because
you just threw Dak under the bus because he got
hurt playing for you. And and JJ Watt posted yesterday
and Micah retweeted it, it's amazing that you would throw
your number one quarterback and your number one defensive player

(21:52):
under the bus and talking about them as they go
out and fight for you and their teammates in the
locker room. You're gonna under mind them. Yeah, it just
doesn't make any sense. And then Micah retweeted exactly. Coming
up next, we've got our guy Joe Cook of Inside
Texas talking all things Texas Longhorns as we get closer

(22:13):
and closer, thirty nine days away from the first game
and a couple days away from camp. Right here on
the Morning Kickoff on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
Welcome back to the Morning Kickoff on Sports Radio AM
thirteen hundred The Zone. It is Tuesday, a Texas Tuesday,
and what better way to kick off the week than

(22:36):
having our guy Joe Cook of Inside Texas. You can
follow them at Joseph Cook eighty nine and Joe Texas
Football is about to start and everyone's excited about it.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
The hype is real.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
But coach Shark has been in San Antonio knowing that
the season is getting ready to start, talking to the
Texas high school coaches associate and a lot of people
are talking about recruiting the state of Texas. He mentioned
the other day nineteen of the twenty three players drafted
just recently by the university from the University of Texas

(23:13):
all played Texas high school football. How cool is that,
especially knowing that you were from the state of Texas
and Texas is being represented again.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, I think that's a really cool aspect.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
And I was trying to think about some of the
different parts of that, and you know, you know, I'm
just thinking, I think xavier' worthy kind of stands out
as someone who is, you know, not from Texas. I
know there are a couple more, but then you know
that also includes guys like Matthew Golden.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
And Ada Night Mitchell.

Speaker 8 (23:43):
You know, the guys who came back transferred to Texas
from you know, Texas and No Golds from the Houston
area and at Night Mitchell was as well. So not
only are they getting you know, high school guys through
they're they're welcoming back some transfer portal guys who are
from Texas and sending them to the NFL too. So
I know that's the type of thing that that Texas

(24:04):
high school coaches want to hear. It's also a great
countermeasure when other schools are like, well, hey, you know
you're going to Florida, you're going to Alabama for your
recruits and you're not recruiting Texas. Well, you're still putting,
you know, the guys that these high school coach these
high school coaches coached into the NFL. And it's a
nice little piece of information that Sarkisian used.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, that was pretty dog one cool.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I wanted to ask you this, I mean, Sark being
the mind that he is, and I know that you
wrote an article over at Inside Texas talking about how
good this defense could be. Do you think Sark understands
that and looks forward to kind of I'm not going
to say slow playing it with Arch because obviously the

(24:48):
hype is what it is and you just got to
roll with it. But do you think, because this defense
could be one of those that we're talking about at
a later day, Sark might try to play towards the
defense a little bit more.

Speaker 8 (25:01):
Yeah, I think, you know, we don't really see Stark
win games like forty five three's. He's pretty content with
like you know, thirty five seventeen or thirty five ten,
something like that. He's not running up to score. And
a lot of that's because it's put on his defense.
I don't know how little effect arch, but I did
just find it interesting that, you know, this is an
offensive play caller. You know, in the in the second

(25:23):
act of his career, he's become known as one of
the best offensive minds in college football, has influenced from
some of the best coaches in college football, and yet
you know, he seems to understand or not seems he
does understand just how important defenses, just how important that
part is, even though you know, yeah, he oversees it,
but he leaves the play calling and a lot of

(25:45):
other stuff up to his to his coaches and coordinators.
And I always thought that was interesting, and I looked back.
You know, every everybody has a specialty. You know, Nick
Saban and Pete Carroll were defensive bat guys. Technically Urban
Meyer and those Sweeney were wide receiver guys. But you know,
look at Clemson, they have some of the best defensive

(26:06):
linemen at Ohio State under under Urban Meyer had some
of the best defensive backs. Nick Savin hired Steve Sarkisian
and hired Lane Kiffen. You know, so they all these
great coaches understand, you know, you can't just.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Be a one a one side of the ball guy.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
And I didn't want to mention Lincoln Riley because you know,
I think that's like the one coach that everybody looks
at it's like, oh, he doesn't get it. That's he
seems to be trying to get it now. But you know,
the early part of his career is kind of a
case for Hey, you know, you put too much focus
on one side of the ball, it's not going to
work out as well as if you try to focus

(26:45):
on both sides of the ball, like Steve Sarkisan has.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Coach Sharkisan is all gas, no breaks.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Like, don't you think that it would be to his
advantage to try to run it up a little bit
if it will take a little bit of pressure off
of Arch. If they run the ball and score and
they get a good lead, then you just keep pouring it.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
On, right.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Yeah, I think sometimes I wonder what he meant by that,
If he meant scoreboard or mentality, one leads to the
other for sure, but I'm not sure if it works
the other way around. But I really think that he
understands that to win football games, you've got to have,
you know, the type of defense that keeps guys out

(27:33):
of the end zone. And that was kind of the
thing that you know, Texas and at the end of
the year, you could see how they handled their really
good opponents, and I think you can put teams like uh,
you know, Texas, A and M in that category. Florida
wasn't that for that game, but you know, they handled
really good opponents. I think Clemson was kind of just

(27:56):
barely in that category. But when they played great opponents,
you know, they struggled. They struggled keeping them out of
the end zone. You thought it was Arizona State and
they won a conference championship. I'd call them great. They
struggled with you know, in the second Georgia game, you know,
keeping some of the Bulldogs from getting into the second
or the there half the field, and struggled with Ohio State,

(28:20):
you know, as odd as it sounds, holding a team
fourteen points under at scoring average. They made the mistakes
that cost them and made it a two possession games,
and I know one of them was a fumble six.
But he understands that, you know what, if you can,
he understands that you need to score one more than
the opponent, not of the opponent, and there are very

(28:43):
different ways to do that, and making sure that the
defense holds the opponent to one less is a way
of doing that.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
We're talking to Joe Cook of Inside Texas. Make sure
you follow Matt Joseph Cook eighty nine on social media Joe.
As we get ready to head into camp, one of
the biggest stories that I think we have all been
missing is the return of Derek Williams junior. He is
somebody that I've been a big fan of. I talked
to Michael Taft about him the other day at SEC

(29:14):
media Days. People forget how talented this young man was
before he got hurt. Do you what group are you
focusing on once camp starts next week?

Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, I've been a big Derek Williams fan since I
think he had a breakout game against Baylor during his
freshman year, and I've been a big fan of his
since then. Just banged up last year. You know, I
think he got dinged up against Michigan and tried to
come back and then got hurt, you know, more severely
against Oklahoma. Small blessing in the skies that allowed Andrew

(29:47):
mccouba to really open up and become the player he was.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
But you would like to have both those guys. I
think he's gonna have to battle for his spot.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
You know.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Jelan He McDonald is someone who's done a lot of
great things over the course of the last few months
and contending to work alongside Michael taff But you know,
if that knee is right and and he's back out
there understanding what he needs to do, that gives say,
that gives Texas a third safety who really has a

(30:16):
lot of high quality play in his past, and uh,
third safety who's really athletic, you know, a really special guy.
I probably could play out there at the field spot
and make the most of it. So I'm excited to see,
uh what what he's able to do. I think he's
gonna you know, win healthy, be a quality part of
that defensive secondary and and maybe give some guys a

(30:36):
little bit younger some more time to develop and not
throw them into the fire right away.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
I love it, I love it. There he is.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Joe Cook of Inside Texas. You follow him at Joseph
Cook eighty nine and you can get over to on
three for all the latest.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Thanks Joe, appreciate you brother, absolutely guy, Thank you all right.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Coming up next, we got to talk about what's going
on in Cincinnati. Sell the team Cheap Dude right here
on the morning kickoff on Sports Radio and thirteen hundred
The Zone. Great stuff by Joe Cook of Texas. Make
sure you follow them at Joseph Cook eighty nine. Today

(31:18):
is the twenty second of July and it is Global
Citizens Festival Day.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
iHeartMedia is excited to announce that the partners at Global
Citizens just revealed the lineup for the twenty twenty five
Global Citizen Festival, returning to Central Park on September the
twenty ninth. Headliners of this event The Weekend and Shakira.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
It will be hosted by Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman.
The festival will rally action to bring energy access to
a million people across Africa, to protect the Amazon force,
and provide education for or over thirty thousand children. Across
the world. Tickets are free, you just have to take

(32:05):
action to earn it. Download the Global Citizen app or
visit Global Citizen Festival dot com to get started, So
make sure you check that out. Also, I want to
get into this conversation because I told you the title
of today's show is triggered Tuesday. I got mad at

(32:26):
one owner just happens to be a guy that I
really support their team, but I'm having a hard time
with it.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Well, as bad as we think, Jerry Jones is the
owner of the Cincinnati Bengals may be the worst person ever.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Then I want you to hear him. Does this one
feel for me?

Speaker 9 (32:50):
This one is surprising. I hesitate to get into the detail,
but basically it turns on whether out years are guaranteed
if he gets involved in conduct detrimental to football?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Well, what does that mean?

Speaker 9 (33:12):
Detrimental to football in recent years has been violence to women.
That's about the one that comes to my mind. There
or others probably, but that's the one that I think. Well,
if we get a player who gets involved in something
like that or does something that is just unacceptable, guess what,

(33:34):
I don't want to pay him.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
I really don't.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
If he's sitting in jail, I don't think I ought
to be paying him. And so we say that if
he got involved in conduct detrimental, we'd have the right
to terminate the guaranteed part for the back years. He says,
or his agent says, oh no, you can terminate the

(33:58):
guaranteed part only for the remaining part of the year
in which the event occurs. Oddly, something like this has
never occurred in my memory with us.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
I don't think it's going to occur.

Speaker 9 (34:19):
So we're sitting here arguing over something that I think
is pretty remote.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Man. I let mister burn Listen, listen, listen, listen.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
This is the reason why the young man out of
Texas A and M has not signed his contract, because
they are trying to pull the wool over somebody's eyes.
But yet, here's why they're not signing the contract. Because
I want you to hear about T Higgins. We thought
T Higgins got a great deal.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
He got messed over too. The Bengals did this.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Man so dirty.

Speaker 10 (34:53):
We all know the Bengals owners, the cheapest owner in
all of sports, but damn, a few days ago the
Bengals signed They're too star wide receivers Jamar Chase and
T Higgins to what we thought were two huge long
term contracts, but unfortunately for Higgins, only one of them
appears to have gotten that.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
It appeared that T. Higgins signed a four year.

Speaker 10 (35:12):
One hundred and fifteen million dollar contract, but in reality,
this is what he really got. The Bengals basically have
a year to year option on Higgins. Listen to this,
Nothing in twenty twenty five is guaranteed. The only true
full guarantee is signing is the ten million dollar offseason
roster bonus for twenty twenty six. The Bengals can pay
Higgins thirty five point nine million dollars this year if

(35:32):
he dresses for every game. By the way, it's not
guaranteed for injury, and because of the language they put
in the contract, they may even owe him nothing if they.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Cut him after one year. So when Layman's terms.

Speaker 10 (35:43):
Higgins basically just swapped out a fully guaranteed twenty six
million dollar franchise tag for a long term deal with
zero twenty twenty five guarantees and just ten million dollars
in injury guarantees.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
In twenty twenty.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
Six, Higgins his contract is basically the equivalent to this meme.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Some objects are not what they appear.

Speaker 10 (36:00):
I really have no idea what TM Higgins was doing
signing this contract.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
The agent he needs to read through it. As my
boy said, it was he his own agent, was anybody.
That's why I mean, how do you sign that?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
You gotta read that fine print? How do you sign that?

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Which is why the Turner situation makes so much more sense.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
And oh yeah, by the way.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Their best defensive player, Trey Hendrickson decided, I'm not reporting
to camp, but Joe Burrow, you expect miracles. If I'm
Joe Burrow, I'm sitting out until these people start doing
the things that are supposed to help people. You know
how we had that conversation Mark about do owners want

(36:48):
to win or do they just want to own the team?

Speaker 3 (36:51):
That is the perfect example. I just want to own
the team. And we talked about them.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
They were selling re selling TVs at Cincinnati, those smart
like that's like these monitors that are behind us all right,
heart saying hey man, yeah you wanna buy You're gonna
have to buy it. Yeah, we're gonna get rid of them,
but you're gonna have to buy it. What This is

(37:19):
why I get so if I'm a Cincinnati Bengal fan,
sell your tickets, all of them to the visiting team
every game, because this, this dude ain't serious.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Wow, I'm just flabbergasted.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Herds like the stuff that keeps coming out about Cincinnati.
My wife is from CINCINNI yes, and we're in Cincinnati
all the time. A lot of our friends are Bengals fans.

Speaker 7 (37:51):
And.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
They they're just got their hands up in the sky
and they're just shaking their head all the time. And
I said, I'm a Cowboy fan, I'm real close, and
they're like, Na, you're not even near as this functions us.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
At least you got some point of reference of history.
They don't even have that.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
I mean, is it is utterly ridiculous every single time
that we have to deal with this. Speaking of dealing
with it, all you got to do is get over
to AM thirteen hundred, the zone on the always free
iHeartRadio app. Get over there and find that red microphone
and leave the keyword red for a chance to win
a pair of tickets to go see Coheve and Cambria

(38:37):
September the ninth at the Moody Center. Keyword red if
for a chance to win some tickets. We're our number
one is in the books. Our number two is just
around the corner. Texas Lawhorse still got that juice.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Well, we're gonna find.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Out because we're tough all day right here on the
Morning Kickoff on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
Welcome back to our number two of the morning kickoff
right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
We just talked about how cheap the Bengals are and
the drama that within the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Cook of

(39:15):
Inside Texas joined us to talk about Texas and a
lot of the hotspots that will be taking place this
year and when camp starts. We also talked about Jerry
Jones and how bad he has been as an owner,
well not necessarily as an owner, but what he does
about talking about players and how he has not been

(39:37):
able to sign Micah Parsons and it's getting kind of frustrating.
And we also got to hear from Sark on the
GM row by Brandon Harris and the Linebacker Room.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
But right now I want to talk a little bit.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
More about the Texas Longhorns as they continue their quest
to be back in the college football playoffs, number one,
number two, to be able to play or a national championship,
and it all goes back to the type, which is
arch Manning. But Greg McElroy, who always seems to be

(40:10):
on the side of the Texas Longhorns, talked a little
bit about the expectations coming into the season for the
Texas Longhorns.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
The Texas Longhorns what's funny is as excited as we
are for arch Manning, he is a legitimate question.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
He's never been in the full time starter before.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
But for all of us that.

Speaker 6 (40:29):
Have been around the game enough and watched him enough,
and the little bit of action he got last year,
showcasing the mobility, the downfield throwing, he's going to be
in a really good spot to be successful in year
number one. They are a national championship contender, assuming arch
Manning is what we expect him to become, Assuming the
wide receivers are as good as we expect them to be,

(40:49):
Assuming the offensive line is not a liability.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
I don't think it will be.

Speaker 6 (40:53):
Will it be a position of dominance, I don't know
about that, But I don't think the offensive line is
going to be a liability. Whatsoever, and then all three
levels of I feel really confident in what they have
coming back here in twenty five. So they are a
national championship contender and are probably the team to beat
right now in the Southeastern Conference.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Now let me let me get this back into the mindset.
You look at what Texas is and has become. They
have become the team that everybody's talking about. They talk
about the arch Manning effect, They talk about Sark and
where he ranks in college football as a head coach.

(41:33):
The conversations continue to be candy he get over the hump.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Texas odds of.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Making the college football playoffs, brought to you by Circus Sports,
which I will be at this weekend is minus three
point fifty. They pretty much say Texas is guaranteed to
get in. They also believe that Georgia and Alabama will
be the teams to get in from the SEC. I
believe that you're looking at LSU O, Miss Texas, A

(42:02):
and M Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, OU, South Carolina and Missouri.
Not everybody in the league was listed on that because
there's no need for that. But you start to look
at what we said about Texas Texas has every single
level that you could want to believe that you got
an opportunity to get to the playoffs, not only get

(42:24):
to the playoffs, but make a deep run into the playoffs.
The one question of concern was the offensive line, and
I think the offensive line is being over dramatized because
of the lack of experience. But they have a lot
of players that have played meaningful minutes in the games.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
And not only have they played meaningful minutes, they've been
in the system already for two years. So they know
the system, they know the practice, they know the plays,
they understand what their goal and their abjective is. And
that's something that's underrated today in an offensive line play
for all teams in college because of the transfer portal. Yeah, Texas,

(43:06):
their guys have been in the system already. They're not
bringing in offensive linemen in the transfer portal.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
They do that with the skill positions and the positions
a need, not a core unit that you really need
to be on the same page right right. And it's
an interesting look, especially because of the fact that when
Texas first came into the league, we talked about this
about how people were like, well, they're not ready for it, Well,

(43:37):
would they prove that they were ready for it?

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Not only were they ready for it.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
On the way in, they had just won the Big
Twelve conference, they won the.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
First Big Twelve championship, and they won.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
The last Big Twelve championship of them being in a conference.
So they bookend that. Then they come in and they
win the regular season Big Twelve I mean, excuse me,
SEC and then they lose in the championship game, and
the kryptonite seems to be we've both seen Superman. The

(44:10):
kryptonite seems to be the Georgia Bulldog. Right, that's the
next hurdle for Texas. But all that in between, they've
proven that they belong and now they.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Keep getting better and better.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
And I bring it back to the fact of the
continuity in the coaching staff. I bring it back to
the fact that they had the same offensive coordinator, same
quarterback coach, same defensive coordinator, same special teams coordinator, and
oh yeah, they got the same strength and conditioning coach
that has been making sure that these kids are doing

(44:46):
things the right way.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Those are the things.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
That I continue to believe is why Texas is getting
the hype that they left arch Manning absolutely great.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Okay, the name everything.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
We got a chance to talk to arch arch is
the most laid back, understood who he is, understands who
he is quarterback that I've been around. But he also
understands I haven't done anything yet, So I have to
go out there.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
And prove this.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
What a great mentality for a young man that has everything,
I mean, pedigree, legacy, the number one quarterback position in
college sports like he and he just wants to be
a student.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yep, Like, where where is that guy?

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Man?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
We need about ten of those. They just want to
be a student. I just want to be here and
be a part of something bigger than me. Most kids
that are highly regarded and come from these unbelievable programs,
they think that they're gods. They don't think they can bleed,
and then they come to college and find out, Oh,
it's a lot of people on the team like me.

(45:51):
But this guy, for all of the accolades and everything,
he's one of the most down to earth people that
I've come in tag with. And you don't realize how
big he is until you see him walk in the room. Man,
what like that? He's Cam Newton big? I mean like
sixty five, sixty six. He's definitely got to be two

(46:14):
thirty twenty five. He's well put together.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
But yeah, and just laid back as they possibly could be.
Understands Like I said, I mean, you think, you think
about it, you grow up in a family like that.
There's a lot of talent there, obviously, but it's also
a lot of fun because they take their jabs at
each other.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
They have fun.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Say that that Peyton called him a third a turd.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Yeah, a third be a turd. But you start.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Looking at it and you you start to understand that
when you are put in a position like that, you
could be too serious or you could take it as
it comes.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
And that's exactly what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
He's taking it as he's come, and he's making sure
that the people around him are just as comfortable because
it could be awkward, it could be tough, it can
be a lot of people that are all way.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
You deal with it, Yeah, the different walks of life,
different different cultures, and you just have to everybody.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Got a milk, Yeah, yeah, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
You gotta make sure that you fit in where you
get in, where you fit in. And that's exactly what
they've been able to do well. Texas released a new
promo UH leading into the season, and the motto is
tough all day and that's the way that they're rolling
to Austin.

Speaker 6 (47:40):
The expectations for Texas are hot.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
There's a standard here of excellence and the way to
become legendary is to be a championship.

Speaker 11 (47:56):
Can You got a good young group with great energy,
good operation, art and the goal for the rest of
spring and summer is just to execute at the best
of our ability.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Our ghost win the national championship. And I feel like
we have the pieces toute do that. We have the
coaches to do that.

Speaker 11 (48:09):
What is your team going to be about?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
You want to work.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Hard and to be physical, talking about the fight.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
You gotta fight.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Another chart stream up the Athletic excelst year at the
University of Texas. Virtually how you feel about that? I
want to fight? Don't mess with me right now. This
is not the time. Oh man, I'm fired up. Like man,

(48:38):
They just make you want to play, don't they. Yeah, yeah,
it's that time. Man.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
You start thinking about where they are. Oh man, let's
go to prank.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
What what is happening in the athletic program at the
University of Texas breed success and not just in football.
You go top to bottom and Coach Sark talks about
it all the time. It's the competitiveness amongst each other

(49:07):
that fuels the success of others. So now you look
at this football team and how they are. They've tasted it.
They know what it is like. We've talked about before.
The only team in the last two seasons to make
the college football playoffs back to back was the Texas
longhornse But I.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Tell you hard, I guarantee you this has been said
on the forty acres.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Look around you.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Basketball winning, baseball, softball winning, swimming, diving, tennis, beach, volleyball winning.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Ye what are we gonna do? We don't you want
to win?

Speaker 9 (49:53):
Man?

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Be so easy? Yeah, be so easy.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
It is going to the excite. Can't get here, the
season can't get here fast enough from what everybody is
waiting for. Now, there is a process. They're gonna be
working through it and we're gonna bring it all to
you right here on your home for Texas Football with
Craig Way, myself, Mark.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
Henry Cameron, and keV Harder.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
That's right, We're gonna have a good time leading up
to all of this coming up next. One quarterback decides,
I'm gonna go ahead and shut it down. But wait,
isn't the season about the start? Yeah, we'll talk about it.
I'll get Mark's thoughts on this right here on the
Morning Kickoff on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.

(50:38):
Welcome back to our number two of the Morning Kickoff
right here on sports Radio AM thirteen one hundred The Zone.
We just talked about how cheap the Bengals are and

of players that have played meaningful minutes in the games.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
And not only have they played meaningful minutes, they've been
in the system already for two years. So they know
the system, they know the practice, they know the plays,
they understand what their goal and their objective is. And
that's something that's underrated today in an offensive line play
for all teams in college because of the transfer portal, Texas,

(54:44):
their guys have been in the system already. They're not
bringing in offensive linemen in the transfer portal. They do
that with the skill positions and the positions of need,
not a core unit that you really need to be
on the same page right right. And it's an interesting look,
especially because of the fact that when Texas first came

(55:10):
into the league, we talked about this about how people
were like, well, they're not ready for it, Well, would
they prove that they were ready for it?

Speaker 3 (55:17):
Not only were they ready for it.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
On the way in, they had just won the Big
Twelve conference, they won the.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
First Big Twelve championship, and they won.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
The last Big Twelve championship of them being in a conference.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
So they bookend that.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Then they come in and they win the regular season
Big Twelve I mean, excuse me, SEC and then they
lose in the championship game, and the kryptonite seems to
be we've both seen Superman. The kryptonite seems to be
the Georgia Bulldog. Right, that's the next hurdle for Texas.

(55:54):
But all that in between, they've proven that they belong
and now they keep getting.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Better and better.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
And I bring it back to the fact of the
continuity in the coaching staff. I bring it back to
the fact that they had the same offensive coordinator, same
quarterback coach, same defensive coordinator, same special teams coordinator, and
oh yeah, they got the same strength and conditioning coach
that has been making sure that these kids are doing

(56:24):
things the right way.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Those are the things.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
That I continue to believe is why Texas is getting
the hype that they left Arch Manning absolutely great. Okay,
the name everything. We got a chance to talk to
arch Arch is the most laid back, understood who he is,
understands who he is quarterback that I've been around. But
he also understands I haven't done anything yet. So I

(56:48):
have to go out there and prove this way.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
For a young man that has everything, I mean, pedigree, legacy,
the number one quarterback position in college sports like he
and he just wants to be a student.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
Yep, Like, where where is that guy? Man? We need
about ten of those guy They just want to be
a student, right.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
I just want to be here and be a part
of something bigger than me. Most kids that are highly
regarded and come from these unbelievable programs, they think that
they're gods.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
They don't think they can bleed, and.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Then they come to college and find out, Oh, it's
a lot of people on the team like me. But
this guy, for all of the accolades and everything, he's
one of the most down to earth people that I've
come in contact with. And you don't realize how big
he is until you see him walk in the room. Man,
what like that? He's Cam Newton big. I mean, like

(57:48):
sixty five sixty six.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
He's definitely got to be two thirty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
He's well put together, but yeah, and just laid back
as they possibly could be. Understands Like I said, I mean,
you think, you think about it.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
You grow up in a family like that.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
There's a lot of talent there, obviously, but it's also
a lot of fun because they take their jabs at
each other.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
They have fun.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Say that that Peyton called him a third a turd, Yeah,
a turd, don't be a turd. But you start looking
at it and you you start to understand that when
you are put in a position like that, you could
be too serious or you could take it as it comes.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
And that's exactly what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
He's taking it as he's come, and he's making sure
that the people around him are just as comfortable because
it could be awkward, it could be tough, it can
be a lot of people that are all way.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
You deal with it, Yeah, different walks of life, different
different cultures, and you just have to everybody got a milk.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
You gotta make sure that you fit in, where you
get in, where you fit in. And that's exactly what
they've been able to do well. Texas released a new
promo UH leading into the season, and the motto is
tough all day and that's the way that they're rolling
to Austin.

Speaker 6 (59:17):
The expectations for Texas are high.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
There's a standard here of excellence and the way to
become legendaryes is to be a champion.

Speaker 11 (59:34):
I think we got a good young group with great energy,
good operation, art and the goal for the rest of
spring and summer is just to execute at the best
of our ability.

Speaker 8 (59:42):
Our goals win a national championship, and I feel like
we have a piece of to do that.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
We have the coaches to do that.

Speaker 11 (59:47):
What it's your team going to be about?

Speaker 2 (59:49):
We want to work hard.

Speaker 8 (59:50):
And to be physicals all right? Talking about the gotta
find another care stream up the athletic excellent year the
University of Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
How you feel about that? I want to fight. Don't
mess with me right now. This is not the time.
Oh man, I'm fired up. Like man, They just make
you want to play, don't they.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Yeah, yeah, it's that time. Man. You start thinking about
where they are. Man, let's go to prank.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
What is happening in the athletic program at the university
of Texas breed success and not just in football. You
go top to bottom and Coach Sark talks about it
all the time. It's the competitiveness amongst each other that

(01:00:46):
fuels the success of others. So now you look at
this football team and how they are. They've tasted it,
they know what it is like. We've talked about before.
The only team in the last two seasons to make
the college football playoffs back to back was the Texas Longhorse.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
But I tell you hard, I guarantee you this has
been said on the forty acres.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Look around you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Basketball winning, baseball, softball winning, swimming, diving, tennis, beach, volleyball winning.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
What are we gonna do? We don't you want to win? Man?
Be so easy, Yeah, be so easy. It is going to.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
The excitement can't get here. The season can't get here
fast enough. From what everybody is waiting for. Now, there
is a process. They're gonna be working through it, and
we're gonna bring it all to you right here on
your home for Texas Football with Craig Way, myself, Mark,
Henry Cameron. That's right, We're gonna have a good time

(01:01:58):
leading up to all of this coming up next one
quarterback decides I'm gonna go ahead and shut it down.

Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
Pa.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Wait, isn't the season about to start? Yeah, we'll talk
about it. I'll get Mark's thoughts on this right here
on the morning kickoff on sports Radio AM.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Thirteen hundred The Zone.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Y'all heard coach Sark Harje and Henry your radio home
for the Texas Longhorse. As we get closer and closer
to the start of the college football season, NFL training
camps are in place, and Mark coming up in the
next segment, We've got the world's strongest take.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
What do people have a chance to be looking forward to?

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
I think all of the Houston Texan fans you might
want to pay attention. I'm just done talking about the
Cowboys a man, thank you, because I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
The misery and save myself.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
Well, a team that is going to be going through
some misery is the Tennessee Titans. I know they went
through misery last year, which is why they had the
number one overall pick in the NFL Draft. They drafted
cam Ward out of Miami. You talk about the rags
to Rich's story with cam Ward and where he went,

(01:03:10):
where he started from, and how he got to where
he is right now, but the backup situation for the
Tennessee Titans just got very, very interesting. It was reported
yesterday that will Levis will four go this season and
be out for the entire season and will be going

(01:03:32):
under undergoing season ending surgery on his right injured shoulder,
which he's sustained early last year, further aggravating it later
in the season. Lews has been able to shake the
discomfort in his shoulder and it has still been bothering him,
so they say that he is dedicated to return to

(01:03:55):
be able to complete and compete at the highest level possible.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
A statement from the Typemans.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
After consulting with doctors and his representatives, Will Levis has
decided to undergro shoulder surgery that will sideline him for
the entire twenty twenty five season. We support the decision
to focus on his long term help. He approached us
the off season with professionalism and show clear growth as

(01:04:24):
a leader. We remain confident that he will have a
full recovery.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
This has always been something that has bothered me.

Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
Wholeheartedly.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
There's a lot of times that we deal with injuries,
we deal with situations the entire offseason has passed, and
I understand some people do not want to do surgeries.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
I get it. You're dealing with pain right now, my brother.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
But there are times that you have I have to
consciously think about this and say, how do I get
myself better so I can keep my job?

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Number one? Number two, is.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
This something that could have been done as soon as
the off season happened?

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
As the season was over, they decided to rehab.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
They decided to see if they can strengthen it. They
decided to wait and see what rest looks like. And
now we're camp started. Yeah, the only thing quality that
they did was pray over and now he's having surgery.
And now the team is put in a position to

(01:05:44):
where their quarterback that does have some experience in this
offense and being a starter last year.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Now he's not there.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
So their depth chart at the quarterback position is now
cam Ward, Brandon Allen, and Tim Boyle.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Good luck.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Right now, here's also a team that's got a good
wide receiving corps, although a little older with Tyler Lockett.
But you have Calvin Ridley, you got Van Jefferson, You've
got some guys that you drafted this past year, you
got gunner him at tight end, who's gonna be Behindchee Okanawa?

(01:06:28):
But there's so much Your running backs are Tony Poler
and Todd Spears who was solid last year, to and
Andre Sweat. On defense, you have a good defensive football team.
But now cam Ward is thrown into the fire. And
you know as well as I do, if you drafted
number one, you're nine times out of ten you're not

(01:06:52):
going to a place that has success.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
It's good for cam Ward though, because he's gonna get
get all the reps and prove why they drafted him first.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
But I mean, even with him getting all the reps,
he's gonna go out there and compete. And he's been
a guy that is very competitive. But at the end
of the day, you start to look around and you say,
what is next? What can I do next to keep
myself healthy?

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
This? This is a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
This is a lot of pressure to have on the
starting quarterback in the NFL as a not for him.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
Not for cam Why do you say that?

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Because where he came from, no safety net his whole life,
zero offers zero stars to being who he became to
be a number one overall, never happened before. He is
a lightning, striking three times in one spot. He don't
know pressure. This dude been balancing a type rope since
he was in middle school.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Well, maybe it's not the pressure that I'm talking about.
The pressure I'm talking about is the press sure of
the NFL coming after you, these players coming off the edge,
your team not being very good, the pressure of you
trying to lead this team and try to turn around
its circumstances. That's something that you're definitely gonna have to
deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Yeah, that's different, but that's not just up to him.
That's up to his teammates. What kind of leader is he?

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
If I go down, we all go down. Keep me upright,
he gotta be a leader. I remember Troy Aikman going
off because Mark Twene back in the day made a
lookout block and he basically screamed out, run run. Troy say,
don't you ever tell me to run again? You better block?

(01:08:45):
Your man looks like, oh my god, Like that's that's
the kind of leader you gotta be.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Hit me, no lookout block. Sometimes you just get beat.
Sometimes you get beat. I mean you got I mean,
we've seen it happen. And it's all about who you've
been able to go up against when you start to
break down what is being done. So I'm I'm interested
to see what's going to happen with the Titans. How
they're gonna go about it. Are they gonna go out

(01:09:14):
and and try to sign a free agent? Are they
gonna try to go get a team? Joe Flacco's out there,
Joe Flacco is out there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
But why would you do that? Get go get a
service little backup guy. Joe flo is a veteran yeady's serviceable.
Gonna start? No, no, no, Well, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Right now they're talking about Dylan Gabriel and Kenny Pickett.
We'll see what happens with Flaco. Maybe he does, maybe
he doesn't. But you also got you got four quarterbacks
in that room, four quarterbacks, but you want some experience
if you're a Cleveland Browns fan, So I see where
you're talking about what's going on with them, But you
look around the NFL? Is there a quarterback free agent

(01:09:57):
that is out there that you can bring in to
kind of not not save your team because your team
doesn't need that, but uh, who who are some of
the guys that could come in and back up a quarterback.
It depends on if your team is good enough. That's
the other part of it. You know, you start looking
at you start looking if you're starting to win games.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
Do you go out and get one?

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Do you stay kind of stand pat until you figure
out what's next for your squad. There's no way that
they could go into the season and just wait for
to for cam Ward.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
You need it in case emergency break glass quarterback. Yes,
like that's I mean, let cam Ward start. You go
get Jacoby Brisset.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
You you go get somebody like that? Do you go
and make a play for Mac Jones? No, because he
was a former number. Do you go get Hutley? Do
you try to see if you could get Zach Wilson?
I think Zach Wilson is happy where he's at in Miami.
Do you go get a Taylor Heinike? Do you go
get Gardner Minshew? Do you go and get somebody to

(01:11:12):
just hold that spot because of the nervousness in which
you will have, because you know as well as I do,
there's not gonna be He's not gonna play every game.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
You also don't want guys looking over your shoulder.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
If I'm Cam, I'm like, don't don't bring another quarterback
in here you have.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
I mean, I'm talking about the betterment of your team.
Cam gonna be okay, Cam, this is your squad. You
get hurt, you get it back.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
There's no offens or buts about it. But if a.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
Team doesn't have a quality, serviceable backup, and you know it,
that was the one thing that the Cowboys have for
a long time. They got they got one, and I'm
glad that they did. But dak ain't worried about him,
just like cam Ward shouldn't be worried about the backup
that's coming in. The team needs somebody that is serviceable.
I don't see anybody in the NFL say and we.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Need mid shot, but they all need to look, they
all need a little Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Oh Lord, here you go, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Coming up next, we got the world's strongest man bringing
you his world's strongest take right here on the More
they kick off on sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zuger.

Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
You heard the beat drop. That can only be one thing.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
WWE Hall of Famer and the world's strongest Man, d
Mark Henry brings you his world's strongest take. Take it away,
big fellow arch, Yes, sir, you know what time it is, Thomas.
It's time for the world's strongest take by the world's
strongest man.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
Midcast.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Back then they didn't know me, but now I'm hot, they.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
All low me. Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
I alluded to the fact earlier that I would not
be talking about the day was Cowboys training camp and
all the things going on because I am just at
a level of frustration where my blood pressure will not
allow it. But we're also in Houston, Texas, and we

(01:13:15):
got to talk about the Houston, Texas and guys, my
take today is about one CJ.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
Stroud.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
About two or three weeks ago, during Deep in the Summer,
I talked about how CJ. Stroud was working out with
the strength coach and he was doing really well and
he was having gains and he was loving the fact.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
That he was having gains.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Well, he's come out again and he's now he's feeling
himself hard. He's saying stuff like, well, last season, my
speed got up to nineteen point seven miles hour in
Week eleven against the Cowboys on a twenty yard scramble. Physically,

(01:14:07):
I feel like I could do more of that. He said,
I had personal best this off season. I mean that's
been really dope in strength and agility, but mostly in
my mindset. I'm very confident in my physical abilities. Okay,

(01:14:31):
I'm gonna tell you something about testosterrum. Testosterum will lie
to you. It will tell you that you are invincible.
He's done all this training in the off season, and
this guy's feeling himself. He said, I'm very grateful for
my progress this off season, but now it's ball time

(01:14:52):
and I want to put all of this work on
the field. Cej this is just my It's just my take.
Not this hard is not. I'm gonna ask him about
his opinion in the second, but this is mine. Run
out of bounds, slide. Do not let those new muscles

(01:15:18):
convince you and the thinking that you're invincible. There are
guys on that defensive side that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Will kill you.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
You are too valuable to the Houston Texans to become
Michael Vick. Leave the running to Jaydon Daniels. Lead lead
the running to Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Leave it

(01:15:47):
to him, Jalen Hurts. Let those big giant two and
forty pound guys run the ball.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
I need you to throw it hard. What say you?

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
Well, I think that a lot of us as athletic quarterbacks.
You want to be able to move around, you want
to be able to run. But as I said earlier
with my take on cam Ward, sometimes you got to
live to play the next play.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
You can't just go out there and think because you
got a tight shirt on, because you think you got
some muscles, now, think that you can run around and
run through people that get paid to hit you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
Doesn't that sound like somebody that's been in the gym
that has become a musclehead.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Oh yeah, Oh I can do that. I can do it. Yeah,
i'mna run. I'm gonna run through some people.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
No, No, I don't think that's a good look, nor
do I think that's something that is a good idea.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
But I love it though. I love the heart, I
love the mentality. But these coaches and his teammates are
gonna have to temper this. Marcus, Marcus, you may have
I don't know if you know anybody you're a fan.
I don't know if you know anybody on the Houston,
Texan somebody call if listen, please guys, if anybody out
there here in Austin is listen to the radio right now,

(01:17:08):
and you are a friend of a family member of
something that knows C. J. Stroud, Please see if you
can get him to call in with us, because I
need to talk to him, man to man. I may
just drive to Houston and just talk to him, go
to the facility and just cold cold call. Just try
to get in so I can say something. I don't

(01:17:28):
want him to get killed.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
You don't even have to say nothing. Just walk up
to him and say slide, slide. I don't think that's
gonna work to the left.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
When you when you was in your rounds and you
had been worth lifting those weights all summer the next season,
did you ever say, nah, I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
Gonna let him have it this year. Well, I was
trying to break my car. I want a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I try to break the ankles as much as I
possibly could.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
Two things.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Number One, I didn't want to get hit, okay a
number two, if I was going to get hit, I
was trying to run through you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
I was trying to run through.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
You because I was like there was sometimes there was
no choice.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
There was no choice. You feel like sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
You get your head split and I was trying to
avoid getting my hand split as much.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
And we had to call our boss, Brian in Houston.
I know Brian can set this up.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Well, it's defence the flagships, so he'll be able to.

Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
Have I need to talk to CJ. Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
He's gonna get himself killed. He's talking reckless out here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Well he's talking it until he has to get on
the field, and that changes. Just said he can't wait, man,
until he gets hit, and then he.

Speaker 3 (01:18:38):
Realizes I can't do that. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
And of course the Miko's not gonna let that happen either.
The Miko's gonna have that conversation with CJS like we're
a better team with you on the on the field,
He's just sure. He's just basically gonna point at Davi's
mill and say, come on, man, yeah you're gonna go
back and look at some h David Carr video and

(01:19:05):
let you know you don't want this in your life.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Why would you pay all that money for the offensive
line upgrades and then now you want to go scramble.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
I don't think you might tell him to cut it out.
I think he was, you know, tongue and cheeking it.
I don't think he was really thinking that he could
go out there.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
He was bragging. Yeah, we read leg, but he was bragging.
He's not He's not stupid. I got my speed up
to nineteen points.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
Say he's so quicker you could get out of bounds.
You nineteen miles ad hour, and it makes you quicker
to get out of bounds. If they don't have the
proper angle you getting out of bounds, you're not Kyler Murray.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
Kyler Murray know how to slide.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
He needed to go and pick out wheelchairs because the
way he talking, he gonna need one this season.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
Yeah, I don't think I really touched.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
Him with the rims, the spinning rims on, Get you go,
get your wheel you're ready to see CJ.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
You you playing with fire? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Yeah, he's put himself in a different light and people
are gonna look at it. And like I said, Demiko
Ryans have probably already talked to him. The new offensive
coordinators probably already talked to him. We are a better
team with you on the field as opposed to you
thinking you're gonna run over a linebacker that gets paid

(01:20:26):
to tackle you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
So, no, that's not gonna happen. That way at all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Great take by the world's strongest man. We're gonna close
out the show and send you to Damn Patrick. Texas
baseball players get their payday and we give THEO Huxtable.

of my favorite favorite scenes of all time right here

we're mad at you, but most important to give you
another opportunity to.

Go back and listen to it. All you got to
do is get over to.

(01:21:40):
and if you missed any parts of the show, get
over to.

Speaker 3 (01:21:42):
The podcast page.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
As always, Mark, I wanted to get into this because
Texas Baseball. Former Texas Baseball player Max blu who was
drafted in the supplemental pick. He got one point one
million dollars shot value got paid. Jared Spencer, Texas Longhorn

(01:22:04):
left handed pitcher Friday Night Ace signed with the Toronto
Blue Jays.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
He got one one hundred and sixty.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
Five thousand dollars, and Caseon Cunningham was the number one
prospect in the state of Texas shortstop wise, he was
coming to the University of Texas, one of my favorite
players in this draft. He ends up signing his contract
with the Arizona Diamondbacks for four zero point five eight
million dollars. So those guys will not be coming to

(01:22:36):
the University of Texas, and throughout the week will give
you more of an opportunity to hear about some of
the other players that were either coming or left the
University of Texas. But right now I want to let
y'all hear one of my favorite episodes of The Cosby Show.
So as we grew up, obviously you couldn't. We didn't

(01:23:03):
have a lot of money, so there wasn't a lot
that we were going to be able to go and
buy that was let's just say, top of the line. Yeah, trendy,
and you start to understand that everybody's not blessed with that,
so you got to try.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
To make some things.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
Mark and THEO Huxtable Malcolm Jamal Warner wanted to wear
this special shirt because he was going out with his girlfriend,
and Denise decides, I got you. We can't afford it,
but I'll get it for you.

Speaker 12 (01:23:36):
Really great, that's nice, Deny, is this my shirt?

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Is this is shirt?

Speaker 5 (01:24:04):
I paid thirty dollars? It's this a shirt?

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
There's a bore.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Think it's important.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
But raill like that and ask me the question again.

Speaker 12 (01:24:15):
I hate it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Look at it. It's nothing bad, is it? It's better
than I could do.

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
Look at these sleeves. But I'm the same that we're
not my sleeve.

Speaker 12 (01:24:34):
This kind is all crazy and it simside a stupid
chucking in a little more.

Speaker 5 (01:24:40):
It's chumping to my socks. You.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
Yeah, let me just tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
As a as a guy that grew up in the
house with two sisters, younger sisters that always were trying
to do something for me or to me, I understood
what THEO was going through. This was my time of
growing up our time growing up Mark where we would

(01:25:15):
watch The Cosby Show every Thursday night.

Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
We knew that we would sit down and watch.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
That and these are real life stories that you grow
up in.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Despite whatever disagreements that you had yup, the Cosby Show
was always like a common force for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (01:25:35):
It was outstanding stuff. And you know, he went on
to do amazing things, Malcolm and Eddie, starting a bunch
of movies, been a guest on The Fresh Prince of
bel Air. He's done so many good things in life.
But that character of theo Huxtable was me to a
t as I was growing up the earring where he

(01:26:00):
tried to get the ear ring in there and he
didn't show his dad.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Yeah, me trying to be the man.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Of the house and being learning about financial burdens and
how much money you thought you was gonna take home
until the taxes got taken out and then you gotta
pay rent so much.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
Yeah, it is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
It was an unbelievable show when you think about the
family and how it was showing us that families can't
have success.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
You know, we wouldn't allowed to eat on the couch.
We had to sit at the table and eat dinner.
When the Cosby Show was on, we can sit on
the couch and eat. That was a big deal to us.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
There was opportunities that you weren't used to having because
of that, because of that one show.

Speaker 3 (01:26:48):
And I'm a big, big fan of that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
And like I said, he did an unbelievable job in
his uh profession. He will be missed by a lot
of folks. And it's just a sad, sad day yesterday
because it was said as an accidental drowning. And in
those moments you look at it, you're like, man, what
in the heck is going on? But you get a

(01:27:13):
chance also to go back and think about some of
the cool stuff that he did.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
That careful out there in those oceans, guys, those undercurrents
are incredible. Sometimes the sand will just disappear beneath your
feet and just you know, leave you struggling to try
to get your foot in.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Not doing that. Yeah, that's not I don't do that.
I don't do the water. You don't do the ocean.
You know why, because that's their house, that's their house.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
You know that there was some you know what's in
that ocean? A lot of ocean, everything, sharks everything. There's
some sharks that just came up on Corpus Christy South Padre, Oh.
They just got washed up. About five years ago. We
got to get Chavo Guerrero to come on on the
ledgends of the locker room. They him and Stillon coach

(01:28:06):
Steve Austin did an angle in Corpus Christie and he
jumped off the pier right on Channel be right in
front of the stadium. The next day they found a
twelve foot tiger shark in the water and had to
pick it up and take it out into the deep ocean.
I don't know how it got over the reef, but

(01:28:26):
a twelve foot tiger shark was in the water, and
Chavo got thrown in there the day before.

Speaker 3 (01:28:32):
It could have been bad, guys. I'm just saying a twelve.

Speaker 13 (01:28:36):
Foot shark, I'm doing what shark is about seven feet
mark a twelve That shark had to be close to
four hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
I don't care how how big it is. It's a
tiger shark. Yeah, I'm just saying like, I'm not getting
in that, not at all. Bro no want no parts
of that water.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
Never did nothing generally made for us.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
You know why that is their home.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
When you come into their home, and if somebody came
into your home, what would happen.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
They're gonna get hurt exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
So why you going down there and vesting with them
sharks and them fishes, in all them.
