John McClain 6-5-09... part 1

" Jobless claims in the building die hard right now -- and that's portrayed as -- just killed them. -- get done here on a Friday afternoon man who was selected to lose his idea exactly exactly why can't we have. Now -- satellite. John can listen to our podcast since -- Trai Essex send us satellite to the regional slash licenses on what -- do an -- that Patrick and I might Gator. What Amir was who is Antonio which started Tuesday or Wednesday -- amendment Tuesday. I think got a Sports Radio 610 dot com and click on me and -- of the start of religions -- something. Two point three year old rookie for the Phillies John you can't make this stuff up. The kid's name is Antonio bass startup that stars. They shortened effort and how well we can't they want got in this and nicknames and I am concerned it's -- segment Ramon and Republicans. Fun on the radio exactly. So it's not as much fun as well we were just talking about it was solid neighborhood John as a matter of fact by -- the only ally to NN neighborhood. It. -- What's going on secure in Tennessee what's -- I mean I'm sure this is much ado about nothing enemy and we the media are making to me but. -- what was the context to be heard of the Vince Young Baltimore TV station in the back and forth. --"

" Bug campaign in the station interviewed him in and -- interview -- he said what he says about. Being traded but it was one small thing and it's a big deal in Tennessee because every time -- Does that is magnified because he's just said. Couple weeks before -- Tennessee he's not -- anymore. It's almost like he gets himself in trouble because he does know -- well what not to -- Anyway a couple of thing going on stage -- year. Drop the money right women who just things if you're starting if you're in this situation he's the end. You need almost disappear. Is he's almost a no win situation only way. He's going to be you only get back respect. Popularity is to play. He's not only -- regular season but he will play a lot in their first praising -- game against buffalo we can. In which they were aware of the original uniforms for the first time. He'll play most of the game Kerry Collins once series. This economy and -- most of -- now be the first time he's played much since the opener last year against Jacksonville. In which he was terrible and all his problems so I can't wait to see him in pretty season. To see if he sharpened his passes are accurate if he goes to line and they can. Give them what they want and he can carry out. If the -- they don't know. I think he knows because he says he does but until he gets all the Philly want to praise you go he completed 60% of his passes. Last spring season in his first. Are supposed first pre season when my covered your -- is office coordinator he was terrible is like 35%. They need him to be convinced he was two years ago and you that we didn't have a good season -- still went to the playoffs but regardless he's back."

" Did however ding -- have. Patrick Ramsey in Denver. And if I I'm curious I mean they bring you -- compete for number two are they going to carry three quarterback."

" Now let's -- okay. ES any minute one year. Jeff Fisher -- only were they got graves' disease in the world. He -- there's star quarterback is nobody else offered me that he never Texans and -- and note we're going after dinner Lonsky. And so he had one chance that was with Tennessee. And I mean he won't play. Last year people thought even though for instant backup snaps every day that if something had happened. Two colleagues say fortunately India's to a three games that -- gone grizzly Adams instead advance but if it was in the game it would have been advance. Though we'll never know -- Collins was LT how bad you guys. Kerry Collins will be 37. Will not be able to do what he did last year which is play every game twelve touchdowns only seven interceptions that was okay. So any great running game and great -- as he and had to throw the ball but will somebody stop their running game. Like they did a playoff game is Baltimore right he could do what the quarterback. Need to do against a great deep it's so I know that's why they Texans. Have gained ground on the titans and colts. And there's good chance all three -- liked to -- But everything up there depends on quarterback in college will be 37 -- and have to throw thirty times a game just manage the game. But when it requires more than manage. -- usually not up to that that."

" Well and Vince -- is not the only quarterback from the 06 draft who's been upstaged by an old guy. What about the Warner. -- situation in Arizona there are some parallels. To the situation -- Kerry Collins let titans to a fantastic regular season record Kurt Warner leads that. Cardinals to the Super Bowl he thinks he can keep doing it at the level he did it last year."

" And Kurt Warner is a sad one a two year deal got to hand counts both got new two year deals. Warner was speaking now there's a difference Warner threw the ball cores yeah Collins didn't. If Warner was in Tennessee's not quarterback to run an offense he Collins damn sure -- quarterback to run Arizona's offense those receivers. The differences -- displayed. Was -- Torre is a rookie and then help them make the playoffs he was offensive rookie of the year before he felt his place last year and had them. Off the field -- well. When he refused to go back to that game yeah he created it can't versions -- the next day to people worry and that he was going to commits who has. He even though he wasn't. He's -- a lot more than liner but from what I together. There's a lot of people in Arizona and still think liner will be able to step in and play no questions asked based on what they've seen of him. -- Tennessee it's just the opposite I don't know people there they don't go. If they had to put it kind of period -- there's a good chance this question was as Camille my shall there. Polluted who have to -- good draft in the for what quarterback. Of the titans going to draft in the first round next year and and -- head and I've talked Jeff Fisher about the is. How's that well you know if this is going to be on the team or not because his contract is huge right in 2000 TN. Even if he was starter he could make his money. He would have to be restructured. In so. If that's the case in these out you got Patrick Ramsey you have no quarterback. So let's say you would get Sam Bradford and they say Colt McCoy is going to be number 18. And I threw this out their their last two quarterback Steve McNair began. -- Afghan. Runner likes the leader needed work on accuracy. Pinch. Runner to Afghan leader needs work on anchors Tim Tebow as your. Eric Winston slave record. I'm gonna tell you about it not being viable cause that bad cut from next and I have. That I put in 500 -- he puts it 5000 what is it first round with a top top ten top -- Citizens for animal protection is going to -- 505000. And they should be -- it. That Tim Tebow -- a top ten pick it up talked to Fisher are gruden talked about in there with coach is not media people not Charley casserly. The coaches watch him and they fallen in love with and it's because. I think more than intangible -- John could you Aziz -- me bring about and speak for yourself. And and they coach is just following. Right any user ultimately later tough guy that he -- he would not raise everybody. In -- said he is working like crazy Tebow. Albeit more accurate does policies and his McCain makes and they think when they get him in the NFL he's you know you can only if you are probably twenty hours a week. Well again and it was much as -- one NFL right that you take those intangibles of what things they can work on that they can make him into big -- quarterback -- things you."

" Product. Liner in Warner I don't know if you saw a story but the videos going to be up on Monday on now foxsports.com. Jay Glazer who. -- lights as an MMA fighter. Beyond his work is a fox NFL insider has been training -- liners. In -- and -- because -- lighter felt like his reputation people think he saw that he's not cup and on this so. Party is offseason conditioning with him working in the octagon -- professional. And man made fires in putting them -- grueling workouts and including fighting. I don't think he was fight I think the cardinals might have an issue with that. But it. Basically all these anime guys have been training Matt liner along -- Jay Glazer. And glacier is offering services to any professional athlete that wants to be. Tough and a -- again."

" Laser -- is so full -- he moved to Scottsdale. And it that big training facility they have out there were Donovan McNabb Brian these athletes. Orcas were DeMeco Ryans had gone. His serve cellphone text some will give him information that's one of the smartest things over saint. Jerry I would never do this when players but. Michael got Julien had TV commercial -- did -- do other prizes sub layers."

" Right may host the show -- the CI TV show together also rose versus -- was interesting and because of that show where he -- taping with Pacman Jones. Foxsports.com. About how misunderstood Pacman was the only why can't they went out QB's he says -- to me Pacman Jones but I -- it turns -- I really liked -- I -- he wasn't watching a day after the expected after the -- was posted Pacman got in trouble again. On a man was on pro."

" Versus -- and amex's -- always go the very first snap. He throw forearm at the helmet of the opposing wide receiver very first snap he's misunderstood you know. Hey welcome back Sports Radio six and was manage threats John -- our guest in studio -- No -- hanging out here with you until 6 o'clock Patrick -- producing. I was so far we've got some phone lines available for you we're gonna hit the phones right now. That's 71357246. And hopefully get on that short list of water from you between now. And 6 o'clock 7135724610. It's not a show without you -- on a mobile line on Sports Radio sixty always a line."

" I appreciate your particular phone call you know the more you and I am pop. -- don't -- rich you not bitten interest didn't bench for a while now while -- scientists. Well and we see getting a little oh it came out of the kid. You know college -- speed was exceptional -- a little bit more character than that now the question I have -- to -- has written. To you can't -- bet he can't recover. Or the you think it's more -- character emotional issue RD -- just he just doesn't have the wit could be an NFL quarterback and I'll hang up Clinton."

" When he was angry over his last eleven games as a rookie nobody had any complaints at all and then I think that he. Didn't work as -- thought it was too easy. And then the next year he did not play that well I remember early and a year they have a prime time game his New Orleans. He played great to a couple of touchdowns and one in the superdome and and that's the last. What people thought was great performance and I think that. Thank -- norm chow was too easy on him. And they fired norm chow brought in my -- dangers of butt kicker who have been their understatement there. And then go on to Denver while -- and -- that went to the jets and Denver. He they are my backlash cheer. And I don't think he reacted well to my -- Court Kerry Collins has been thrown everything. Carries and had. Kerry Collins at worst experiences in the worst experiences. As an NFL players. I've ever seen early in his career who was able to come back. And that was he was right key races to the quarter. At an alcoholic. All of when he was with Carolina and more votes in the -- bounce back from man. And -- thereby blog and you've got a guy dressed next to do you can talk to. If Steve McNair talked to him that I've never seen the quarterback more concerned with the media. And Dan challenges who -- worst to the media and I guess is because here in Austin. Because he played so well he knew a lot of criticism and up there he gets a lot but he thinks there relief to the Nashville and they're not. And any booed last year that Jacksonville game so I think it's matter of maturity. Of -- learning to deal becoming a professional. Steve -- told you gotta let what the media says. And in in rights go through one ear and out the other you gotta understand why they're asking a certain question is their job. But he's very defensive. Which tells me insecure. And we -- is another chance to play. He's in his response to questions can't be when they say why did you throw that -- want to do is it close. What do you mean about -- question well why did throw into double coverage so they hope that we -- year off watching and learning. That he took a big step is fours and maturity level but nobody's going to know now -- has such great talent it next. March 1 piece -- a free agent there's can be a lot of teams enters today and in and I think. Again like gruden likes to collect quarterbacks. You know -- study would be -- and for -- and he's a -- he's back it's as his cap again. A lot of coaches just like quarterbacks talent so they can mold them. But as Latin -- Pre season may be lastly they have them on him home today so he needs to look good in pre season."

" John a couple of days ago we found out that. That Rodney Harrison was hanging it up after fifteen years way and is deciding to join NBC. War I kind of have no doubt he's going to be good he's the guy told this is an absolutely world class talker as a football player lets you play dirty. How great was Rodney Harrison and as he wanted to."

" And -- The Boston Globe B writer emailed me as sure I'm glad you brought desire to see if I would vote for him and ran off the bat. I would have to study and when -- vote for him over John Lynch. John Lynch was accused of being Dougherty in those two guys have come lynch will be a vital -- One year before Rodney and if you compare those guys to safeties and all of thing just safeties. They're deserved to be an opening if you line them up against. Overall -- some players may be not too many there's got to be more to it to longevity. But the way they play and I don't have a problem. With what people perceive his dirty there's a lot of defensive backs and all of thing that or -- is they'll even when they keep things today. That are illegal or legal. Bag the night train lane anyone yeah four arms across failed when you're coming across the middle hyped kid going to knees I -- them all over the field. So that doesn't bother me at all but lanchin Harrison worst their careers mirrored each other. But as Super Bowl rings it outside both deserve serious consideration."

" Johnson you we're on the subject of -- Hall of Fame and I know he'd been nitro and today it's I don't know if you saw this that you see who Ralph Wilson has chosen to present him for an trying to -- CNN that is so we're not -- flows -- Marv Levy. If he's not going -- believe -- down. Jim Kelly Thurman Thomas one of Bruce -- and Ian Bruce could swap. Delaware bay and the only one that was some times during the quarter and Chris Berman Barack loses half his age. He's talking about they become good friends. Life is you know I think every year -- it's Super Bowl prediction take San Francisco and."

" Buffalo. And the whole nobody circles but I -- Obama."

" Let's 49ers want -- one of their Super -- I gave Chris Super Bowl -- Debartolo did. And it got out in the media and he had to give it back he is based out there back in those days right -- Our values are now grossed only just like he's saying always good to Boca the first summary in. -- like Chris Berman a lot of the only belong to and -- find. Is genuine you know we talk about Jim -- is genuine Chris Berman is genuine news do you think he -- Probably a video guy dislikes around drink a lot of beer talk and sports has right. And he's done have a big ego doesn't have to be he could just like Jim -- but he doesn't so I'm a big Chris Berman fan."

" And they are you saw -- always look though rant on -- not do and any favorite I had seen it was GA that. He screamed down during game. Halftime Monday Night Football when he was doing the scoreboard show Monday Night Football. He drops -- bombs in basically. You -- says them. Stuff Leo its its its goals as -- bill Reilly actually finally there's also exports and yet I forget which anchor what there was sports center anchor. That got suspended for a day because. There is a story that broke out that Chris Berman use this pick up line in a bar. We did the resist chant that was wearing a leather outfit. And he came up to this check instead you're Whitney leather or something like that it was like some type of leather -- and -- reference totally. And so a sports center anchor use. On highlight call. And everyone knew it was cutting -- deal you're with me -- right I think it was Neil ever but I can't remember. And was kind of there he like he's at -- you know very likeable guy but apparently there are some people that. Feel like he rubs them the wrong way I mean there's all of those drugs and right exactly to have any success somebody's gonna hate you."

" I don't know anybody that I know that I've felt the notion that doesn't like him but when I saw Ralph Wilson picked in my house don't mind. I just can't believe that he didn't pick somebody from his organization. Or somebody's now all these years. Be -- that's you know that's not -- tiny bit you know right somebody else that he's another onerous."

" Oh we've got some callers on hold launch and hang in there repellent right back to you here in the 5 o'clock hour drive on employers. 505. On Sports Radio six and you gotta stop saying these things that are cracking us up right before -- microphone connected. 71357246. As we open up the 5 o'clock hour. And fulfill that promise to get as many of your phone calls. As we can this hour we know got a few lined up holding over from 4 o'clock frames are -- write to it. John -- our guest here in the 5 o'clock hour Texans fair game NFL fair game. Hollywood fair game."

" You know NBA and -- body goes then -- yeah finals this for weeks. That the sleeper in this summer will no longer be as sleeper and to this week in hangover I can't win it tonight need to do is gonna blow away will Farrell's. Land of the Lost yeah which is the third out of that second of the 450 million. The -- Michael Papa John's and I'm gonna ghostly images. Because I actually watched -- 74 TV series. And analysts say what Papa John's role is and when I'm really looking forward to after hangovers transformers."

" You know John I'm almost embarrassed to say. That over the years. I've really only seen bits and pieces of the water boy I have never sat down from beginning to end to watch the water boy until until about three nights -- core PH -- and Michael -- found to ideas but today -- me he got his ass kicked repeatedly -- that movie about Adam Sandler stunt double -- it'll fiscal football stuff front."

" Did everything every time Adam -- somebody that was Michael did ms. -- I have it was a very physical movie anybody even his first win when he was LSU baseball player and 85 and 86. In any casting call I think they pride like drunken changed went to. Where they were looking for so. Doubles for everybody's all American -- is quite well Michael. I guess you ease about. Two in 511 that the inquiries Dennis is smaller than that right. But so what Michael would be the quarterback can be bigger and look more like an happily though it equates in the skinny. And it's only got in a lot now and but not like water --"

" My only criticism of the want to avoid more rob Schneider. And I was the united that movie can. Don't count like how I felt about what's his name and league of their own. You know that he does that every Sandler movie he did that except for 51 dates. He had a big role in 51 state that he was very funny well he did like a similar role in. The one big yeah you longest yard worries in the stands the cheerleader is daddy played like a foreigner like gay isn't easy convenience store owner can't remember exactly what he. What he can do."

" Remember that's my second favorite Salem the big day here's a delivery guy delivery cash but he -- stick four action -- call their company right quake happy man is and they. Do movies. Bush matters while the -- were kind. -- will put all this but I like the bench warmer employ all the same people around and they'll they'll put Ramallah movie animal -- and there. But they'll -- and there. And those things are so stupid they don't cost much but they make the money at the box office the first week and -- when their fans go but also on dvd. Plus her own cable so they've got it down those guys not and I Elliott is the guy."

" Play the assistant cajun coach and water boy that nobody can understand where he was saying and -- turns out to be what's your name stat in 51 states cracked same -- You don't talk longer talking I Alan I don't know his name but he's -- good work from that company also -- I was gonna Kevin -- town on Sports Radio six and what."

" Jim. I got a question I'm -- with the brits are just going on in Minnesota. What it's like Roosevelt and and all the -- OTA. You know -- information -- on the peninsula."

" Page saying just look Grady said all the right things when the media as ask him about Favre. Tarvaris Jackson was called out by his teammate the offensive tackle Pat Williams saying he didn't work hard enough. And that's a stigma you're never gonna get beyond unless you start playing well because if you don't play well there mostly are not. Work of art movement ban Williams who ought to be more worried about getting suspended start -- different games for the star camps. Controversy blows drop as some of these. But sage has done everything the way did hear it won't be the right way. But you know he's done -- signed to go up there to be Brett Favre back."

" Did you see the -- tar content story about oh yeah frank tar content saying he wants Brett Favre come back to the vikings so we can fail. I don't even know why anybody would ask Fran darkened to an opinion who cares he's so out he's so all he's got. Malls all over him. I never comes to -- thing is these ladies were exclusive. But somebody gives him and he weighs in on his opinion. Who cares what he thinks how much guaranteed money to save him from the vikings. Is their deal is only like. Three million a year. And he's got a lot of incentives. -- three million is chicken papers starting quarterback yeah it is -- did you see the story."

" Getting back to what you're talking ala Pat Williams that. The NFL's keep an eye on win this. Appeal that there's a law in the state of Minnesota. That he can't suspend somebody. Debt basically what it then you go whole drug test IPO he can't suspend somebody from work. For a violation for their positive test right. And that they're they're the reason they're there they're referring is now back to state court is that. In May that -- the court to Minnesota might actually -- that it's illegal the National Football League to suspend. A Minnesota employee."

" Even though it's been collectively bargain which is what the NFL keeps falling back on the players agreed to this now we're doing what we're supposed to do. I can't why would you have a long that you could suspend somebody for testing positive for drugs."

" This is the little guy is -- you're -- yeah just the body was running the stench you could tell all steroids on wrestlers or Madonna didn't -- the governor's. They shouldn't. Go to Gerald on the southwest side of Sports Radio 68 Gerald."

" Very big category. Governor courses. -- occurred in the it this particular getting good and MacBook. Yes it's. You're trying to character and also. It would do WBA change. Some terms so you know about."

" Now we're not going to WNBA today what else. Marvel at the line -- new blood in the line backing core. New blood in the line backing core and it what do you think of some of the new blood."

" Well let you know new blood in the number one pick Brian Cushing starts on the strong side is a little over six story in twos 62. They have Cato June -- veteran backup. Was Super Bowl ring buster Davis. Who looks like him. Our aggregate he's about 58 ways to forty he's an active in the middle. The big question is who's gonna Astaro weeks at Xavier Adibi has a job zagged houses making them move which means. This article please start position in three years. That's good for versatility but it's never good for again trying to win a starting job he's done because of his broken leg I don't think. I don't think -- will be a 100% totally get into training camp. But and I also think -- abandoned DeMeco Ryans sacked could be the backed up there not buster Davis but linebacker is gone. From being I think think about it they did and they go in and they and their starters out. And they add back of supplying -- thank you if they're both front seven is so much better. That it was last year I was wondering on paper I think -- well I mean there's no it's not matter. I -- don't papers better than you play better -- I guess players are so much better than again as AM now they start getting hurt. And -- starters that's one reason I think they're gonna have to best record. And embassies -- go players or they get DeMeco Ryans under contract long term. They've got until the last day before the regular season cause they do not negotiate during the season Eric Winston signed he has the last. Day remember it was before that cowboy. Right after the no. Trip for the Pittsburgh it was a day for Pittsburgh area that we and so I'm gonna say of the three -- guys. DeMeco Ryans Owen Daniels. And -- Robinson I think they will sign to me. And there's a good chance they will sign Owen. And last place to do something now rages. Like Dante Robinson and -- for a lot more than their work if you're asking for more. And you -- to not go get it. Because they haven't made to play house. You know there's more if you -- like for instance -- of time to do I'm told is. That is the benchmark for to make you always been pro bowls Super Bowl. And Jamaica has been one problem. Down today Chris Gamble went was to so conceivable problem -- turned down his contract. -- you have to be realistic. What if you've been to 23 pro Boston's."

" It came into Owen Daniels will be signed to long term deal of Kellen Winslow hadn't gotten that ridiculous contract from Tampa can only 120 million guarantee that's a perfect example why there's going to be a lot of cam because the owners can't control themselves. The owners can't police themselves. Because of idiotic contracts like that like Matthew Stafford like Albert means -- is like any thing Al Davis does. And and and in the instantly owners go to the players and site please. Save. As Kobe. Bryant. Like I really like Bob McNair -- best donor father worked with the Bob is one of those owners. Who is leading the charge to change the system revenue owners -- want to Lebanese want to break in the that there's no -- deadly collision -- and so you I want as Bob. Why can't you guys get a grip on yourself. -- lot of the players have to roll it back for you all you gotta do is get a grip on your own finances."

" Maybe we've been here before act Gary Kubiak matching this week getting back to what you're talking about the linebackers that he seemed to intimate that. It's not so much and it's not gonna be so much about our right. Gore starters but it's it may be situation where obviously to make is going to be on the all the time. But because the guys in different trying to -- these probably a little more get blitzer then. Then the other guys are Cushing because of his size going to have a better chance against the against the -- and that. He's not gonna be so dead set on. Other than Demeco who who's out there on the field -- as a real good feel for per who's who's gonna get an inmate has been more situation -- said that it sounds like he's running for office of course it's whose stars as well as important. Play like -- why you're there may be times where were able -- Xavier on -- that may be times when cushions on the deal with make note that it's you know. But there's still -- stars. So I'll cut shining hour right in the back -- saying."

" Client unless somebody gets Hart and McCain is I don't sleep Cushing. And twos 62 and he'll play about. Mid 250s -- lose weight in the humanity. I don't see anyway he's on the field. In a nickel or dime when you get Demeco and DDB. Because a -- can run like crazy and make big lies cushions deal is going to be here. To stop the raw and sometimes they'll call blitzes form. It to provide an intensity on first and second down and eventually when he figures out coverage and stuff. But I don't see anyway he's ever will be on the field over --"
