(00:01):
Buckle up. The Shawn Soundsbury Showcontinues. He's gonna be a hell if
Andrew Ball wasn't the assistant general manager. What do you think he would do?
Just based off of his voice?Yeah, be an accountant, you
think. No, a money guyrunning like a running like a financial firm,
(00:22):
a like venture capitalist. Yeah,Ball, Ball and Doe Doe company
or Ball and Sons. Yeah.Okay, there you go. So that
almost sounds like a construction company thoughtoo does or maybe maybe he's, you
know, like I could see himrunning a you know, he's a guy
who's like a president of you know, like the financial the president of a
(00:47):
big like I said, some kindof money firm. Yeah, I would
imagine. I don't know what hisbackgrounding, but I'm gonna guess I know
a little bit of it. I'mgonna guess he's got some analytics in his
background. Yeah. Oh it's AndrewBall. He works for the Ball,
Smith and Jones Company. No,he's the president, yeah, president,
yeah, president. Yeah, that'syour venture capitalist group exactly. They handle
(01:10):
like two billion dollar portfolio to right. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's Andrew
Paul Man BSJ Wealth Advisory. ProbablyNo, he just I think he probably
Hey, I would imagine he knowsbaseball listening to him and has some a
good financial understand financial understanding about theanalytics and finances of baseball and how the
(01:34):
numbers work. Let's put it thatway, whatever numbers are involved, I
imagine he has a pretty good ideaof it. It's find an interesting,
man, that they talked about asix man rotation when you barely know who
your fifth guy is. Yeah,and I think they're probably trying to preserve
it so it doesn't become a threeman rotation, if you know what I
mean. With the injuries that havebefell them this year. Good word,
wow, But I don't think there. But I also don't think they're beholden
(01:57):
to six man rotations. Another oneand killer bees there it is bitch is
Yeah, I have a question foryou. Here's an interesting question. It's
really not that interesting, but itmay be. I was thinking about this
last couple of days and it hitme right, Uh, we was so
that I didn't have any Internet andall this stuff. I'm thinking some of
the things that that I'd like todiscuss at some point this summer. Well,
(02:21):
I was sweating my biz as areyou know biss are, Yeah,
yeah, you do. Yeah,why do you side? I have me
on the b because earlier you weretalking about I thought about, who are
the five most important people in sportsright now in this city, moving forward,
not in the past, moving forward, the five most important sports personalities,
(02:44):
meaning is it a coach? Isit an owner? Is it?
Is it? Is it a frontoffice guy? Is it a the is
it Das? Is it Jalen Green? I wonder who the five most important
sports figures are in this town.And I'm not broadcast, don't count.
I talk about to actually play,coach it, general, manage it,
own it, moving forward from todayas we look, as we look at
(03:08):
the future and the present in thefuture, not worried about the past that
you know, Bigio and and thebag Wells, unless they're part of the
future. As far as front officein the back of the baseball okay,
right, I'm just curious who wewould in order go one, two,
three, four, five of importanceto just the sports layout of Houston and
(03:30):
maybe all of their sport Like wheredoes Dana Brown fit in? Is he
a top five? Is Al Tuvestill in the top five? Is jrdan?
Going forward? Is I think there'sa couple of names that are obvious,
but would it be We've talked aboutlike if you had to get rid
of these guys, and I knowthere's there's maybe twenty of them that are
more important, But I'm talking aboutmoving forward towards the championships, the attention
(03:57):
to this city, what they're goingto mean to a franchise, is what
they're going to mean to the futureof the franchise, and bringing other people
here. It could be Tillman forTita and and bringing a hockey team here.
Whatever. I'm just and I don'tknow, and it's it hit me,
I said, I really don't know. Is is c J. Stroud
just because he plays quarterback the mostimportant sports person moving forward in this town?
(04:18):
I think it's him? And youstill so he goes back to,
well, two guys who are thebest players? You think the best players
are the most important sports people inthe town? Yeah, I think CJ.
Shroud edges Jordon just because he's thequarterback, right But yet is are
the are the uh? His ownershipis for Tita more important right now to
(04:39):
the city of sports than than thethan the McNair's are Does it come down
to is this mister is mister Cranestill the most important owner? I mean
when I say important, like thenot beloved, I'm talking about to the
growth and or the success moving forwardnow and moving forward. I would think
(05:00):
the quarterback's got to be near thetop of the list just because of what
that position requires. Right Yet,is it you know, a front office
analytics guy. Is it the McNair'scommitment to change? Is it? Is
it? Is it the the youknow, the husband or the wife and
the McNair fam and what is itmoving forward? Is is it? Is
(05:21):
it? I mean, you know, I'm just throwing Jackie hin. It's
not him, you get my point? Is it a young pitcher? I
mean, what's the future here?Where's the importance of the five most important
sports players? General managers, ownersor people involved with moving sports forward?
And I don't not a broadcaster orsomebody who's bringing the Super Bowl back here.
(05:44):
I'm not talking about a committee.I'm not a literally player, coach
or manage or own it. Iwonder what the order would be for most
people. Strouds Do you think itstarts with Stroud? Because he plays quarterback?
I think he's got to be atthe time, would anybody in the
basketball presence be kel Sampson so soWillie Fritz so locally? Like, well,
obviously we're never we're talking locally,so I think, and it can
(06:06):
be pro or college and the collegerealm. And are we sticking to Houston?
We're not going to Austin or justright here in Houston. Kelvin Sampson
is up there and Willie Fritz toturn around U of H and get them
back to their winning ways now thatthey're in the Big twelve, Like he's
got to be up there as well. Okay, well, how do we
rule out a an athletic director?Uh? How are they going to die?
(06:28):
And could it if you've got tomove and shake or does it just
completely change the course of a university. That's why that's why I'm I don't
And you know, Furtita's got hishands in in uh as well. So
as far as sports just sports figuresat all, Yeah, that aren't really
they aren't broadcasts. I don't wantthat committees. You know, hey,
we brought another super here, greator a Final four, that's obvious.
(06:48):
I just talking about over the courseof time, looking forward, how I
see I think Kelvin Sampson's massively important. Yeah, definitely because has to be.
Okay, who's closer to a championship? The Texans are the Houston Cougar's
basketball team right now. Yeah,let's talk about it next, coming up
(07:11):
