  Speaker 1: coach by Jason Houghton. You may recognize the name. He
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was a coach at Sam Houston and did a really
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: good job there. But he's been around a lot. In fact,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: our man Mike Hardball Harge must know him well. You see,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Jason Newton played at Colleen Ellison and uh, and of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: course that's where Arch is from. And Harge has him
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on the show tomorrow morning. So Jason Newton will be

  Speaker 1: Kwan Cosby have Q on tomorrow as well to talk
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: some long WRN football. But Jason Newton is from Colleen
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in fact, an old friend of mine. This is this
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is weird about all the family connections. A longtime friend
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of mine is Dennis who used to be the boys
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: basketball coach at Westwood got him to the state tournament
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: one year, and he'd coached girls at Round Rocket that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: has been around a while. His brother, Darden Burton, was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my college roommate, one of my college roommates when we
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: went to North Texas together. Dennis and I have known
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a long known each other a long time. And of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: course Dennis, of course, like I said, coach high school
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: basketball in the area for a long time. And we
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were texting and he said, I coached against Jason Hooton
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: when he played at Colleen Ellison, and one of my
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: best players, Ashton Mitchell, played for him at Sam Houston.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the connections that go forward on that New
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Mexico stable going at four and five in the game
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of Mare of the Longhorns have only played them four
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: times in their history. The last time they played them
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was November twenty third. It was two thousand and eight.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I remember this. This is in Newark in the Legends
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Classic and Texas played in that event, did really well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: wanted I think, beat Tennessee in the finals that year,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and that was in Newark there at the Prudential Center, which,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: by the way, is where the Texas women will be
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: playing Maryland on MLK Day. They're in Newark, New Jersey,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: so anyway, there's there's some things they haven't played in there.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And they also played New Mexico State in the NCAA
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Tournament the year that Kevin Durant played for Texas, the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: O six oh seven season, they played up in Spokane
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and in the first round. Marvin Menzies was the head
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: coach of New Mexico State back then, and the Long
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Runs beat them before losing the USC and OJ Mayo
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in a four versus five matchup in the second round
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for the tournament. Yeah, so there was that NFL notes
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to you familiar with Noah Brown.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, former House state receiver played at Dallas for a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: couple of years and then just signed with the Texans
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: for a little bit maybe and then I don't know
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: where he's at now.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, you should remember him. You should remember him. He's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the one who caught the hail mary against the Bears.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's right. He was Washington that they called it
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: what Noah's ark or something like that like that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he's likely going to miss the rest of the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: season after suffering what is being described as a significant
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: internal injury. Now, if you ask me, almost any internal
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: injury is significant. That's like saying, you know, that's kind
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of from the Department of redundancy department, you know, significant
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: internal injury. Anyway, it was described as a rib injury,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and of course Dan Quinn, they head coach there, said
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he's not been placed on injured reserve, but it's likely
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: heading that way. He's the one who caught that hail
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: mary passed against the Bears. Back on October twenty seventh,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the Commander's eight and five, and right now they're holding
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: on to the seven seed in the playoff race, heading
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the Sunday's game at New Orleans. So which brings
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: me to my question for you Cam. First of all,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with a look at the weekend schedule, RAMS forty nine
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: ers tomorrow night, all right, then the Sunday schedule, Kansas
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: City at Cleveland, Cincinnati at Tennessee. The Kansas City Cleveland
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: thing doesn't really for me hold a great deal of suspense.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs will handle their business.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: We saw Cleveland beat Pittsburgh in a blizzard up there
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a little over a week ago. But still Cincinnati, Tennessee, Washington,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: New Orleans is important. Baltimore playing at the Giants I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: don't think Baltimore at the Giants is that significant other
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: than the fact that the Ravens are what two games
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: back of the Steelers, so they really have to keep
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: winning on that. Jets of Jacksonville not significant. And then
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you've got you've got some significant games here.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, I'm gonna say the Cowboys and the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Panthers is not significant. Now that the Cowboys are really wow,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you know who's favorite in that game? Craig Carolina is right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: How about that? How about that tells how far the match?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: In week three? After a week four, after Bryce got benched,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: being told yeah, the Panthers are going to be favored
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in that game, you're thinking, Wow, is Andy Dalton on
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a heater to the Cowboys team plane crash? Nope, Cowboys
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just sucking. Bryce Young actually turns out to be good quarterback.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not a bust like a lot of people thought.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Through three weeks and a disaster and all that other
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I just needed some time.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And the same people who are saying that about kill
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Williams right now, ye take no, please, just take no. Yes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's okay to be patient. History teaches us.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: In this game that quarterbacks that you think are not
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: very good in their first couple of years wind up
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: blossoming into pretty good quarterbacks. And I'm going to take
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you all the way back to the late fifties on this.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think the first big example this was Bart Starr
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: when he was with the Packers. His first three years.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: He was either on the bench or splitting time. Lombardi
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: comes in and people thought, hey, not so much Johnny
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and Ninis was cut by the Steelers and had to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hitch hike homb in nineteen fifty five and was playing
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: semi pro football for a team called the Bloomfield Rams
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh area for six dollars a game on
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Thursday nights until the Colts saw his name on the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: waiver wire and a couple other things and brought him
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in and then the rest was history.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So those two guys were like that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: There were other quarterbacks throughout the sixties into the seventies
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that people kind of gave up on.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Billy Kilmer was a running back when he was the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: forty nine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Ers, coming out of use and eventually blossomed into an
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: NFL caliber quarterback. There were a lot of people giving
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up on Roger Staubach because the military commitment and saying
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that he couldn't get it done, and finally Tom Landry
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: gave him the full time chance midway through the seventy
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: one season and they go on to win their first
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So there are lots of examples of this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: over the years. There are those who would say that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the Rams gave up on Zared Goff. I disagree with that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He was their starter he played, they went to a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but the Rams didn't think he could get
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: them over the hump, and that's why they made the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: deal with the Lions. The trade seems to have worked
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: out for both sides. Matthew Stafford led him to a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl and win, and GoF has Lions with the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: best record in the NFL right now, So that that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: appears to be one of those rare trades that benefits POSTA.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I'll give you another one. This is the guy who
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was a great player and won two Super Bowls, Jim Plunkett.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He was drafted by the Patriots. They had a horrific
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: offensive on they were still known as the Boston Patriots,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: changing their name to the New England Patriots. And year
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they drafted him, and he was viewed as being a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: bust for the Patriots and then the forty nine ers,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and mean, he played on bad teams. He finally got
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: with a good team. He got with the Raiders and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: they went two Super Bowls.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So sometimes it just.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Takes time with quarterbacks for them to you know, fully develop.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Did you mention Sam Darnold, Sam Donold, there's another thing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, the New York Jets quit him yep. These
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers quit him. The Carolina Panthers
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: quit him on this fourth team, I think, yeah, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know it's working with the Vices.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Fans, plug your ears. Baker Mayfield, same thing. Yeah, no
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: number one draft pick now of course in Cleveland, he
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: was injured for most of his tenure there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And it's the Cleveland Browns organization. They for quarterbacks. It's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the Siberia of the National Football League.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: But it's two guys that I mean. The Vikings are
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a game back from the Detroit Lion who are the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: prohibitive favorite in the NFC.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So Vikings are going to be in the playoffs. Yeah, sure,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: for sure wins. Yeah, and he's a big reason why
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on that Miami in Houston. That's an important game. Miami
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: still kind of hanging out there with a shot at
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Texans trying to maintain their hole on the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: South Colts at Denver, important Colts on the outside of
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the shot maybe to get in Denver. Very much in
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: playoff contention Buffalo and Detroit. It lost a little bit
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of its luster, a little bit, a little bit of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: its luster when the Bills lost to the Rams. Still
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: important game, very important game playing in Detroit. Pittsburgh at Philadelphia,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: huge game. If two division leaders in the Keystone State,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that's big. New England and Arizona not so much other
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: than the Cardinals trying to hang around there in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: NFC West, Tampa Bay at the Chargers that is important
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: for both teams with regard to playoffs. In Green Bay
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: at c APP is big. And then and then they
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: went back to another double header on Monday night. There's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: another double hitter Bears Vikings. That one's on ABC and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Falcons Raiders on ESPN. Okay Raiders not so much. Falcon's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: still with a shot. So anyway, I look at some
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: NFL notes and things up next inconceivable that's next here
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and the
• 11:27
