What's popping off today?
Goddamn Houston, man.
Anthony.
My bad.
I just...
Yeah.
My bad.
My bad.
My bad.
I apologize.
I don't get out of the house often.
I don't get out of the house often.
That's why.
Huh?
We can't let you out.
I know.
I know.
I'm just saying. Like, I went out last night, right?
I'm going to get this out before we start.
I went out last night, and it's amazing, right?
So I was using my peripheral vision.
You get what I'm saying?
And it's a beautiful city with beautiful people.
With beautiful people.
Huh?
Yeah, so I'm jealous.
Anybody that actually lives here, man,
congratulations.
Because I almost moved to Houston.
Why you ain't come?
What the hell you mean why?
You out your damn mind.
Hey, it's beautiful, though.
I need to focus on what i need to
focus on okay okay because i wasn't focused you will be we're gonna get you back on the right
track all right guys check this out what's popping off today is anthony airworth claimed that michael
jordan was the only player in the older generation with some skill and said i didn't watch it back
in the day so i can't speak on it. But
they say it's tougher back then than it is now.
But I don't think anybody had the skill back
then. MJ was the only one that
really had skill. So that's why
they saw Kobe and they were like, oh,
God. But nowadays, everybody
has skill. Magic Johnson did not
take too kindly to what Ant-Man had to
say. I never respond to
a guy who's never won a championship.
He didn't win one in college.
And I don't know if he won one in high school.
I know Magic a little better than you know Magic.
Right, right.
Magic and I go back about 30 years.
To see him respond in this manner,
and I think all you guys have known Magic,
the smile, and he's always positive. But for him to in this manner and I think all you guys have known Magic the smile and he's always positive
but for him to take this
stance this really struck a nerve
with him. I mean I understand
I can kind of see where Anthony Edwards is coming
from maybe the thought of
Jordan being an iconic figure that he is
maybe he forgot how
great Magic Johnson was. I think talking
from a skill standpoint or skill
perspective we all know Magic Johnson was great I think talking from a skill standpoint or skill perspective,
we all know Magic Johnson was great.
We know that.
But to hear it from Anthony Edwards
and forget about the greats
that came before him
and only singling out Michael Jordan,
maybe because he is the most iconic figure
that he was able to watch.
Yes.
I think he knows Magic Johnson is skillful,
but, ugh.
I mean, why do the older generation, the older generation always
take shots at the younger generation for not winning the championship or not having rings
or not winning in the past?
It's a team game.
It is.
And based on where he's playing in Minnesota, I think I'm not saying they bad, but it takes
time.
Yeah.
It's early in his career.
There's no need to take those kind of shots at him well
especially coming from magic that's not even that ain't even his character i think look every era
likes to protect their era nobody wants to be forgotten it was so much better your grandparents
your parents say it was so much better in our day i agree with with Ant-Man. I believe there are more skilled, highly
skilled players today. It's called evolution. You don't think we have better
technology today than we did yesterday? Yeah. Of course. So how can the players
not be better when they train better, they train smarter, they eat better? It's
called evolution. Things change. So I don't understand look i i get magic's point of view
uh i i'm not so sure i would have taken that drastic of a step yeah i mean that's what we
call killing a gnat with a sledgehammer i mean bro you could uh i disagree with and yeah but to
go to the i don't listen to anybody that haven't won a championship that's not fair and he's only
responding because he understands how great and is because if anybody else in nba that's not fair and he's only responding because he understands how great
and is because if anybody else in the nba that's not top five top ten player had said the same
thing magic wouldn't respond i don't but here's the thing you have to understand about ant-man
ant-man ant-man doesn't have a filter not at all he's gonna say the first thing that comes up is
coming out right and so he's gonna have to do a better job of being more PC. No, don't change him.
Don't change him because that's what makes him special.
When he's in front of the mic,
obviously you know the animal you get on the court.
We understand that.
Yeah, for sure.
But we don't have too many players with that type of aura,
with that type of non-PC agenda
when it comes to saying and speaking what they feel.
That's what we need more of.
So you don't have a problem with either guy
saying what he said and magic's response to it
I don't I like it. I like it because now all and has you is gonna respond
All ain't got to do is gonna respond. Wait, you asking somebody that never that never stopped talking
You gotta say I like it
It's a good thing for the game of basketball because everybody else is PC this n-word like drama
This n-word, like drama. The who? This N-word.
Oh, you can say it, nigga.
No.
We gonna have to bleep that out.
Hopefully y'all had a hard time
taking pictures with the Oscar Mayer bacon wings.

I mean, you've been to Houston plenty of times, I'm sure.
I love Houston.
Listen, as soon as I landed, Houston.
I was thinking about opening up a brokerage here, but Houston is like.
Yeah.
If I was to ever relocate, I probably would relocate to Houston.
Ocho, we might be neighbors. If I ever
relocate, I'ma relocate to Houston too.
Shit, I'm coming too.
I'm coming too. So I landed and I went
to a restaurant called Taste.
Oh my goodness.
I had oxtails and grits.
What? Oxtails? Oxtails and grits.
I had fried chicken,
candied yams, collard greens.
What the hell, real?
And the red velvet waffle, it was so good.
You ate all that?
I ate all of it.
But you know, I had something better.
I had something better,
because when I landed two days ago,
I went to Grooves,
and I had grits and eggs, scrambled, lightly salted, two sausages, and a pancake.
Links or patties?
Huh?
Links or patties?
I'm a link.
Mine sound better.
It does.
It does.
Hey, man, what y'all think about this?
Don't y'all think they're doing too much with oxtails now?
Eric!
Bro, it used to be. Come on, you can't put oxtail, you got oxtail cheese steak.
You got tacos, pasta, come on.
Why did you have the oxtails and rice?
But the oxtails and grits, they good.
Oh, see, there you go, oxtails and grits now.
You don't eat oxtails and grits?
They good.
But oxtails and grits good, boy.
Ain't no bullshit.
I mean, listen, you talk, you eat tail and everything.
So, I mean, so, ain't nobody in the audience surprised by you talking about it.
Oh, they do the same thing.
They just laughing because we sitting up here.
Oh, so they been lying to you, don't you?
All of them lying.
Turn the lights on and look at their face.
Yeah, I saw them on, boy.
He got this here.
Yeah, yeah.
They got me. They got me.
So, Ray, so what's going on?
As far as Chad
and I? Yeah, you and Chad.
Exactly.
Yeah, she said, don't play with her face.
Don't play with my niece's face now, Ocho.
That's right.
I don't know. I feel like
Chad just... I don't know. I feel like Chad just...
I don't know.
He get in his way sometimes.
The world revolves around
Chad. It does.
No. That ain't what you said.
You said, oh, real.
Oh, real.
Do you know what it's like to have
a woman to provide a lifestyle for you
and you ain't got to worry about it?
I said, oh, Ocho, what do you do with that ass?
But that was a choice for me to be a stay-at-home father.
That was a choice of mine, but I can also un-retire and go back to doing what I do.
It's kind of hard, Ocho.
I mean, you stop working for a minute, ask them ladies, some of them ladies that stop working for a minute,
and then try to get back out there in that workforce.
You're going to help me out at first take.
I ain't going to be able to do that.
I'm team real.
That's right.
That's fine.
That's fine.
No, we just get in our, I feel like sometimes it's good to have a little break.
Yes.
Because we get angry and it's not good to communicate while you're angry.
So when we get into our little modes, I just focus.
Work mode.
She called me fucking ugly.
I called you ugly?
A lot of people, who tell it?
You ain't called me ugly?

Now it's time for our next guest.
He played for your organization. He was Defensive Rookie of the Year.
He's a stalwart in the Houston area.
He came back home to get his team
to where it's never been before.
That's the Super Bowl.
Give it up for your head coach, Mr. D'Amico Rimes. I'm a star of this hall.
Yeah.
I'm a star of this hall.
So, hey, coachy, coachy. First off first off you know i've been out here um i've been lobbying for
a job and i'm available so like listen i'm in shape if you need a set of extra legs we need
you we can get a workout on tuesday you ready swear to god sir don't do me like that because
i'm trying to get out the house hey we got somebody we got somebody that gets you the ball there we go that you do go ahead i got a job y'all
coaching your wildest imaginations when you got drafted to this team at the first round draft
pick and win rookie of the year you have a stellar career did you ever imagine that you'd ever come
back and be the head coach? Never.
Never in my lifetime would I have imagined being the head coach of the Houston Texans,
the team that drafted me.
But it was that surreal moment, right?
I had other options, other teams that were vying.
But it was like, man, to go back to Houston.
Where it all started.
Where it all started.
Like, struggling a little bit.
Like, it meant more to come back home to Houston.
Yeah.
I don't.
Coach, obviously, you've been around the game of football for a very long time.
For those that are on the outside looking in,
I don't think they understand how special a season that was for you to have.
Obviously, you understand the
difficulty when you draft a rookie quarterback and understanding you have a program that is
trying to build itself back to winning consistently and to be able to have a successful season
obviously not winning a championship but still having a successful season knowing that you can
build off of that do you understand how great your season was last year? Yeah, I do understand.
It all starts with, like you said, the rookie quarterback.
Everybody now, they expect rookies to come in
and just ball out from the start.
That doesn't happen.
Right.
Like, especially at the quarterback position,
you got to have a special person to do that.
And, you know, we were fortunate enough to get CJ at number two,
and this kid is special.
Yes.
Definitely. Definitely. You know, he's fun to work with but and he didn't start off that way like we didn't we started off with a rough
season like we had to go through some growing pains and he learned a lot our team learned a lot
of how we had to play to win games and that growing that growth process throughout the season
that made it even more special to know we didn't just come out
just beating people.
And I told our guys, too, you know,
we talk about how special of a season it was.
You look up, we had, I think it was 10 games
that were in the last minute of the game.
We were right in the game.
And I think we won seven of those 10 in the last minute of the game.
So that just shows the margin for error in this league.
It's still tight, even though it's a great season.
But, man, I tell our guys, you have to work hard.
You got to grind those wins, and you got to be smart in those situational moments to close games out.
Coach, but you understand, you were a rookie head coach.
You had a rookie quarterback.
You were a rookie head coach.
You had a rookie quarterback.
The expectations this year, given what happened last year,
are a lot different than they were last year going in.
You mentioned C.J. came in and played unbelievable.
Tank Dale, Nico Collins, you signed us.
I mean, you traded for us.
Stephon Diggs, your defense, Stingley Jr., Will Anderson Jr.
What are your expectations from this team?
Number one!
I hear you.
I still tell our guys our expectations is just to
get better every day.
We can't get everybody
to know when we suit up like you guys have.
Everybody wants to go win
it all. That's always the goal.
That's why we do what we do. We're trying to
go get that Lombardi, but we don't get there overnight so enjoy the process of just getting better every day
and when we look up in February and we're there playing for that Lombardi that's
what's gonna make it special right no being being a head coach as well it's something I always want
to ask you there was an issue obviously with, obviously, with Brian Flores and Tua
and the way he talked to him.
Obviously, it rubbed Tua the wrong way.
And I just want to know, how do you navigate being able to coach certain players
certain ways and how do you approach it?
Because some players, you can coach hard.
You know, you understand those that are built like that.
You can coach them a little harder.
Some of them, you got to pat them on the back and guide them.
How have you been able to do that with your players?
Yeah, man, that's a great question.
I was just talking to one of my coaches about that earlier today.
Man, you have to have a relationship with guys.
Like, if you don't have a relationship with guys,
then you don't know how that guy's going to respond, right?
Some guys I can coach hard.
Some guys I know, like, ah, man, I can coach hard. Some guys, I know
like, ah, man, I can get it
out of him, but I don't need to go as
hard with him. I just got to tell him, hey, man,
you're doing a great job. Hey, keep it going,
young fella. We're going to get there.
But if you don't establish that relationship
outside of football,
you just got to sit down. You got to eat with
guys. You got to meet with guys. Just talk to
them one-on-one.
Like, what's going on outside of football so you can really get to know that young man and what's going on in his life.
Like, that's how you are able to relate to guys and coach.
Like, now once you get that relationship, I can coach him up hard.
Right, right.
Right?
But everybody, you can't coach hard.
Everybody doesn't need hard coaching.
But as a coach, it's our job. Right. And that's one thing I learned about coaching.
I thought, man, when I finished playing, I thought I was going to hop in like, hey, Kyle, I can come coach the linebackers right now.
Right. But that's what I learned when I was at San Fran. I truly learned like, man, you got every guy is different.
How do you teach every guy? Right. Every guy learns different. Every guy, you got to explain things differently and they pick it is different. How do you teach every guy? Right? Every guy learns different.
Every guy,
you got to explain things differently
and they pick it up different.
So for me,
that's where I learned like,
man,
you have to be adaptable as a coach.
Right?
But you got to know these guys
outside of football.
You know,
go ahead,
give it up.
A lot of times,
sometimes coaches try to hide hard coaching behind disrespect.
It's like, if I'm working for you, I want you to coach me hard.
I want you to say what I'm doing wrong.
But there's a very, very fine line between hard coaching and disrespect.
Now, guys have to understand, that's a grown man you're talking to.
This ain't college.
He's not trying to get to the NFL.
He's already here. He's not he's not trying to get to the NFL he's already here
he's not in high school trying to get to college so those guys you can coach you can coach I mean
when we grew up coaches customized all kind of thing you do that now you're gonna turn a guy
off or the guy might want to fight you he might want to fight you or he might just leave you know
it's just it's a different different era and I've never like try to cross the lines of cursing guys out.
I feel like if I have to curse you out, like I got the wrong guy.
Correct. First off. Right. I don't we don't have time for that.
Like we're men. We're working together. And I tell our guys my first meetings like this is what you can expect from our coaches.
Our coaches are going to be respectful. They're going to tell you the truth. they're going to coach everybody in this room, right? Because they care. Your success is
their success. So we have to find that common ground to work together for us all to be successful.
You played for Coach Saban. I don't know your high school coach. He played for Coob.
What are some of the things, what's your, what's D'Amico Ryan's coaching style? Did you take a little bit
from Coach Saban because as hard
as he is, he does a great job
of patting the players on the back even
when they make mistakes.
With my coaching style, man, I took a lot
from a lot of different coaches that I was
around. I think
it all starts
from, I spent the most time
around Robert Sala. In that coaching profession, I just learned from him you know it all starts from uh i spent the most time around robert solo okay right and uh in that
coaching profession like i just learned from him like man you you got to bring great energy every
day right and you got to be able to relate to all these guys in the same room how can you relate to
them like storytelling like whatever keeping it light with with jokes. Like, it's a fine line, just coaching all the guys.
Even Wade Phillips.
Wade Phillips, man, he was your head coach.
He would come into the meeting room.
Wade would just tell a joke to everybody in the room.
Then he'd talk to you.
He always told a story about you.
Like, hey, man, like, we had a guy on scout team.
I told him, don't worry about covering him.
He's better than the guys that are playing.
So it was always Wade found a way in a playful way to get guys' attention,
draw guys in.
So I think you draw a man, you get their attention,
you relate to the guys, right?
Also with Saban, I know he's hard on guys,
but the only way you can be hard on them is you got to love them too.
Right.
Love them just as hard as your coach.
Man, you have to.
And guys got to know, for me, I had a strength and conditioning coach.
He called me as soon as I got into coaching.
He was like, D'Amico, players do not care how much you know
until they know how much you care about them.
And so that was the one thing that's always stuck to me.
Like, I tell our guy, man, I care about you as a man,
first and foremost.
It's football.
We're going to get to the football.
I'm going to correct you.
I'm going to coach you up.
But, man, I care about you as a man being successful
after football is over.
Like, I want you to be a great husband, great father,
great leader in the community because that's what's gonna last.
Your approach to the game of football,
obviously when you played,
I'm not sure if you had any superstitions or not.
As for myself, there was a certain routine that I stuck to.
And to me, I felt this routine that I stuck to
during my playing days would probably give
me the success that I wanted, despite putting in the work throughout the week.
Now that you're a coach and you play, obviously, do coaches have routines and superstitions
once you get to that point as a leader of men?
Or you just allow the work that you put in during the week to take care of itself?
Yeah.
I think you fall into those kind of superstitions.
You kind of fall into them because it's like,
oh man, we smoked them this week.
Like, hey, we got whatever I did,
whatever I ate last week,
whatever I listened to on the way to the state,
like run it all back, right?
But I don't believe in that.
That's the reason why, right?
I think you just get into a habit,
but I don't believe in the superstitions. But know but sometimes you get off it's routine right it's routine it's
a routine a lot of coaches fall into whether it's working out before the game running stadiums or
running hitting the treadmill right certain things for me my deal is I'm watching film up until the
last minute before I have to go out like I'm trying to find another advantage like I'm watching film up until the last minute before I have to go out. Like I'm trying to find another advantage.
Like I'm looking at third down again.
I'm looking at two minutes for as long as I can.
They come, hey, coach, we got to go.
It's like I'm trying to get that edge up until the last minute.
We're talking about the Rooney Rule.
There's a lot about that.
And you had great success.
Were you ever concerned because you see so many black coaches
like go 10, 15 years
before they even get an opportunity
to go interview for a head coach?
You didn't have to wait that long.
You had about a two year,
maybe two year,
once you became the DC at San Francisco,
your name immediately went into that pool.
So you didn't have to wait long.
How do you tell your brethren
for the black, fellow black black coaches like just to be
patient when some of them have been patient for 10 15 years yeah no that's uh you know i think
for for me being in the position i am man i'm standing on the shoulders of guys who paved the
way before me right a lot of a lot of coaches who grinded and they didn't get that opportunity.
I know one coach in particular, you know, Coach Bobby Turner.
Yep.
You know, Coach Turner, that was my role model.
I was there in San Fran.
That's the guy I looked up to, the OG.
Like, he's been coaching for over 30 years,
and he never got that opportunity.
And I know he deserved the opportunity.
So I always tell Coach Turner, man, I love you.
I thank you for you providing me this opportunity to become a head coach.
And when I became a head coach, I'm like, man, I got to do this for you, Coach T.
I got to be successful for you.
And it's the same thing I tell all other guys.
I'm like, man, I'm representing a lot of guys lot of guys yeah right who are still trying to get
that opportunity a lot of guys who are coming after me to get the opportunity and I just I
want to represent the right way yeah that's a good thing about it the fact that we get so few
opportunities to be a leader of black men be in a position of power does it add any more pressure
to you as a head coach or do you just don't even think about it and just do what you need to do?
It doesn't add pressure to me because I know at the end of the day, it's about doing the job the right way.
Yes, sir. Right. It's surrounding myself with the right people, right.
Coaching staff, the right players. I guess not just about me.
It's about my entire support staff, everybody in that building helping me to be successful.
I can't do it by myself.
So it doesn't add any pressure to me.
It's just I know the task at hand, and it's just about us going out,
dominating the process every day, being as good as we can be every single day,
getting a little bit better, and we're going to, the wins, the results,
all that stuff will show up when we work the right way.
D'Amico, when you were here, you were active in the community.
How important is it for you to have your players be involved in the community in which they play in?
Yeah, it's huge, man.
I mean, we're in a great city here in Houston, right?
And it's a great city.
For our guys, I always tell them that for the NFL, like, it's a blessing.
It's a dream come true to play in the NFL.
Absolutely.
And it affords you a lot monetarily, but it also provides you a certain platform, right,
where instantly you get respect as soon as you step into a room.
Instantly when C.J. Shryle, Will Anderson stands in front of some kids, like, their eyes are wide open.
Like, they got their attention.
And now what's your message to those kids, right?
And so our guys have a huge responsibility
to the community to utilize the platform they're given
because I always feel like, man, you've blessed.
We've all been blessed to reach back
and bless other people, right?
And that's what it's all about in this NFL.
That's what's going to last.
That's what's going to last. That's what's going to sustain you.
And I did a, I used to do
a football camp in Alabama, football
and cheer camp, and you never know
how things come back. And I'm
in my office and I'm saying, friend, one day
this kid popped in, he's like,
coach, you, and Brian Robinson
from University of Alabama, he's like, coach,
man, I was at your camps.
I was like, what?
Like, wow, now a little kid at a camp running around.
I never knew Brian, you know,
but to see the effect that just the exposure it had to him.
Like, hey, man, you can make it to the NFL as well,
and it's cool to see him doing his thing now in Washington.
Nah, I'm good. I have everything. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen it to the NFL as well, and it's cool to see him doing this thing now in Washington. You got anything else?
Nah, I'm good at everything.
Here he is, ladies and gentlemen,
D'Amico Ryan, head coach of the Houston Texans.
Yeah.
Thank you, brother.
Yeah.
Happy birthday to you, brother.
All right.

Nothing but my drugs
Drake
You spent
I think well
All but one year
Of your NFL career
Here in Houston
What does it mean to you
To get drafted
By this franchise
And be considered
When they think of
the short list of the greatest players to ever play in the Houston Texans uniform
your name is the first name to get brought up man um I always tell the story about when I went to
my first Pro Bowl uh the guy it was some guy he worked with the NFL and he was like who the hell
is here from the Houston Texans and that's
something that always stuck with me um and I put that chip on my shoulder and I was like
shit I'm gonna make people respect us you know and uh that was the way I played that was just
the way I carried myself and uh you know to have this hall of Fame thing happen, it wasn't just for me, man.
It was about this whole city.
The actual first player in the Houston Texans to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
What did that, when you got the call, and it says, they knock on the door, Andre Johnson,
welcome to football heaven, you've been selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I mean, Shannon, you've had that knock.
You know, so I don't think words can really describe it.
If you, like, I had to take a moment to literally go sit on my couch, you know,
and I had my hands in my head, And I just, you know, to be,
it's been over 30,000 guys that play this game.
It's only 378 people in the Hall of Fame.
That's not even 1%.
That's correct.
To be mentioned with that, man, that's special.
It's special.
Man, that's special.
It's special.
Listen, obviously being from Miami,
growing up together,
did you ever think that the story that we are in control of,
being able to write,
would have gotten to where it's gotten now?
Hell nah.
I'm not even going to lie, Chad.
You know how we grew up in a neighborhood.
We just wanted to be able to provide a better life for our family.
Yes, sir.
That was always our goal.
We just wanted to make it out.
And to get to the level of being a Hall of Famer,
like, I never would have imagined that in a million years, bro.
You know, so I ain't going to lie, man.
Just having you here and enjoying this with you, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Appreciate it, appreciate it, appreciate it.
A lot of people really don't know, man, how far we go back, bro.
Way, way back, way back.
Matter of fact, the funny thing about it, for those of you that don't know,
Dre and I used to train in off-season, you know,
during our day when we were playing.
Me, Tanner Mann, Tony O'Brown, Crazy Ass.
Who else we had out there man
man it was a lot of us
so you know
it was a certain
connection
that we all kept like we was
family you know obviously we all played on different
teams but everybody from that area we all
got back together and we always
man shit worked our ass off in the off season man
and it's awesome.
You know, as someone that has always looked up to you, even from afar,
during the times we were all so close, man, I'm proud of you.
I appreciate it.
I'm really proud of you.
Appreciate it.
Dre, you had some unbelievable games in the Hall of Fame,
the first Houston Texan player ever selected
to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But I'm pretty sure they showed on your
highlight clip that fight.
Oh, I forgot about that.
I knew that was coming.
I had only met you
once. I came here early in your career.
As a matter of fact, I think
I think I think
Kool Kool was the coach he was the coach and you were very quiet and you're still quite quiet and
I remember that happening and I'm like what did this man say to get him he don't even talk
what what did he say to get you sold? You're like, F it.
I'm in Liberty City right now.
I'm swinging, bro.
Nah, it had been going on for about three years.
Damn!
You let it build up that long?
Yeah.
Yeah, it had been going on for about three years.
Man, I never shared this story with nobody,
but because we all night, Cap up and give it to us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah, there we go.
So, Chad, you remember club play?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, old Chris style.
Yeah, yeah.
So, man, this is no lie.
Like, it's driving up to the club the club is my little brother and Rudy.
My brother's sitting in the passenger seat.
Rudy's in the back seat.
And we're pulling up in valet, and they jump out the car while the car's moving.
Right.
And I'm like, what the hell y'all doing?
They was like, there you go. So I'm like what the hell y'all doing they was like there you go
so i'm like what are y'all talking about it's courtland he's standing at the front door of
the club right i didn't even see him they wanted to get on him right then and i'm like nah like
we're not doing that you know what i'm saying so that that happened like a year prior. So I don't know, man.
Like we was up 20 to nothing.
And I told Coop, I was like, hey, man, I'm finna beat his ass.
Normally coaches call plays for the player.
The player called a play.
Coach, I'm going to beat his ass on one.
Ready, break.
So that was just it, man.
I just had enough of the stuff he was doing.
So it was mainly cheap shots, not so much talking.
It was the cheap things.
No, no, no.
The talking.
You could talk all day.
I don't give a damn about talking.
Right. But it was the cheap things he't give a damn about talking. Right.
But it was the cheap things he would do after plays.
Okay.
Yeah.
Y'all cool now?
Y'all cool now?
I don't know.
I ain't never seen him.
I seen him one time since that whole situation.
So I don't know.
But after that, he ain't cheap shot you no more, huh?
Nah, he ain't going to do that.
But after that, ain't nobody cheap shot you no more huh? Nah he ain't gonna do that. But after that
ain't nobody
cheap shot at you
probably.
Nah I ain't never
been cheap shot at you.
But uh
nah I don't
you know I always
told people like
playing a game
of football like
I was never
afraid to be
knocked out.
Like that never
scared me.
So as long as you did it in between the whistles, I didn't care.
Right.
Anything that came afterwards, that's when I had a problem.
You're very business savvy.
Very business savvy.
So we got all our people here in Houston.
I just want you to talk about some of the things that you're doing here that they can continue to support while they're here.

I was looking for you last night.
Every man got to know his limitations.
But nah, Houston's a, man, this is a hell of a city.
I never thought, you know, being from Miami, growing up in Miami, man, I never thought
I would leave.
And to be here, my mom's moved here,
my brother's moved here, man.
Like, Houston's home for me now.
So I ain't going nowhere.
Oh!
Well, shit, I'm coming too.
Real say she like Miami.
Huh?
Hold on.
You just had Real move to Miami.
She uprooted her roots up in Tampa.
Well, I'm finna move to Houston.
Well, you and Real moving to Houston.
When you look at today's proper wide receivers,
obviously, you got Tyreek and you got CeeDee and you got Jefferson
and you got Chase, you got Diggs, you got
Mike Evans. Does anybody currently
play in the wide receiver position
remind you of Drake?
Um, I would say
A.J. Brown.
Yeah.
A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf.
Big guys, tremendous running after the catch, catch the ball in the crowd.
Big guys that can really run.
I'm a big Jamar Chase fan also.
Yeah.
So I would say those two guys in particular.
Of the current crop of quarterbacks, who would you like?
You get Mahomes.
You could take any quarterback that's currently playing.
Yeah.
And I'm going to say, Dre, you get to have this guy for a decade.
I can answer that question right now.
There's only two.
C.J. Stroud and Patrick Mahomes.
Boy, you picked two good ones.
Are you surprised at how well, knowing this game,
this is not an easy game to play, especially for that position.
Are you even surprised at how well he played in his rookie season?
Not at all.
So whenever they, I always meet the guys the day after the draft
when they come in before they do their press conference.
So I don't know, man.
Like something about CJ was just different than any other guy I met.
He was super mature.
The guy barely even goes out, you know, tremendous in his faith, great leader.
He's always – he gained a team respect.
You know how hard it is as a rookie to gain a team respect.
We played this game.
So, man, what he has done has been truly amazing.
So I'm looking forward to this upcoming season.
I done ran out of questions.
Hold on. I got one
We'll be going tonight
We'll talk about that later
Cause Real wanna kill me
Man we ain't worried about that
We out in these streets
In these streets
You were an outstanding sprinter
60 meter big east champ
Finished run up in 100 meters
You hear Tyreek talk about
I won't know a lot.
Listen, man, I've had a chance
to run against some
guys that have ran in the Olympics
and
bro, that's a different level of sprint.
That's being hit different.
That's a different type of fast. I don's being hit different. Yeah, that's a different type of fast.
So I don't know if Tyreek really want that problem.
I think, you know what, that's why I say, when I would think about it, right,
Tyreek get out right away.
I think that's why he said, I want to, if I'm a racing, I don't want to do it in 100.
Let me do it in the 50 or 60.
Because I think if you get out fast enough and hold it and maintain
it because he didn't have the endurance to go past that i'm thinking it'd be close yeah if they do 40
to 50 yards that's a different see that's that's yeah that's a difference i was trying to explain
like once you hit that because i ran 100 once you hit that, like that 40 to 50 meter mark, man, they
open up. Yeah. And you gotta
come on
with it.
But what I was explaining to Ocho
is that you can't challenge a man
in this, there's no, but this
is what I want us to do. You're like, okay,
I'm going to challenge you to an arm wrestling competition,
but we're going to do backflips. No, you
challenge me to an arm wrestling competition. That man runs 100. do backflips. No, you challenge me to an arm wrestling competition.
That man runs the 100.
He don't run the 50.
Well, you got to think about the,
remember the Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson?
Yeah, yeah, the 150s.
So they ran the 150 because Mike was a 200 runner.
Donovan Bailey was a 100 runner.
I don't know, man.
I'd love to see it.
I ain't going to lie.
Oh, we're trying to make it work. Yeah, we need that to happen. I'd love to see it. I ain't going to lie. We tried to make it work.
Yeah, we made that happen.
I'd love to see that, though.
What did we do?
Okay.
What did we split the difference?
75.
Nah, that's not fair.
75 meters?
Yards, yeah.
For Tyreek and Noah?
That's not fair.
Tyreek ain't got a chance.
That's why it's 50.
Listen, once Noah Lyles open up at that 50, 55-yard mark, it's a chance. That's why it's 50. Listen, once Noah Lyles open up
at that 50, 55-yard mark,
it's a wrap.
But you do realize now,
Tyreek does get out fast,
but most sprinters get out fast.
Most sprinters are Tyreek.
75 is too much.
You got to do that in like 60,
55 meters.
I don't even know.
He can't beat him in 60 meters.
Me who?
Tyreek can't beat him in 60 meters.
No.
Because he going to close.
He coming.
Maybe a 40-yard dash.
I don't think people really realize how fast them do it.
You got to be out there.
What do you mean?
I go to the meets now.
I go to the meets.
I've experienced this, though.
For them dudes dudes be moving.
Because they this big.
They be weighing 160 pounds.
People don't realize how small
Noah Lyles is.
I mean, Tobogo, who won the 200 meters,
he won 55.
I mean, think about it.
A grown man is 155 pounds.
Yeah.
That's how small these guys are.
Nah, that's...
Vernon Norwood told you he's six foot tall.
He's 165.
Yeah.
That's heavy for him.
That's...
Tyreek, two muscle bands, man.
You got to think, when I was running, I was 230.
Running track.
For real, 230?
I played about 232.
Nah, you was about 180.
Nah, nah, nah.
Hell nah.
Thank you.
You might be 175.
When I was playing?
Yeah.
I was 220.
What you talking about?
Your feet was too fast, Chad.
You know I know you now.
I know.
You got to understand.
You got to understand what I was taking before the games.
I don't even want to talk about that.
All right.
Dre said, I don't need camera.
Yeah.
Dre know, you know, before the games,
I used to take half of Viagra.
We don't take it. See, if you took that spark no no this is for football though that's what I'm talking about you know the increasing blood flow it makes my feet go fast
it got double the dosage nah I ain't gonna work on the field Dre, let me ask you.
Who do you believe is the best receiver
to come out of the state of Florida?
Ahem.
You got you, you got Ojo,
you got Peter Ward, you got Cole,
you got Santana Moss.
What are you basing it on?
You forgot AB?
AB? What are you basing it on?
You talking about all the way through?
All the way through.
I like that. I like that.
I agree. I agree. I agree.
I got me a jacket too.
When you go back and look at your team, that 2000 and that you and Portis and Shockey and all the McGahee.
When you go back and look at that team and you like, man, we had 15, 17 first round picks.
We had another 8, 12 second round picks.
Did you realize, like, when y'all went to the season, did you realize just how good you were?
Yeah, you had no choice, man.
I always tell people that was the best football team I've ever played on in my life.
Like, you got to think, Sean Taylor sitting on the bench.
Antrell Rowe sitting on the bench.
Roscoe Parrish sitting on the bench.
Frank Gore sitting on the bench.
Holy shit.
Vince Woolfolk wasn't even starting.
Like, I could go on and on.
Like, I was, and it's crazy you bring this up.
I just was having a conversation about this
because somebody asked me about that team.
And Sean Taylor, I tell people all the time,
he's the best football player I've ever played with.
Wow.
Like, it's not even close.
Yeah.
Like, this dude came in.
This dude came in.
He was 6'3".
And we put him on the scale after the workout.
He was 220 pounds after the workout.
Wow.
So, I mean, you could line him up anywhere a lot of
people don't even realize he was a running back in high school what yes sean taylor was a running
back in high school he wasn't a safety he played running back they would throw him in on defense
but he was a running back in high school could you make a case that this is the greatest college football team ever
put together? There's no question.
I mean,
if you,
y'all can talk about all that LSU
stuff y'all want to talk about.
If you look at
just our backfield, you got Portis, Willis McGahee, Frank Gore.
I ain't even mentioned Najee Davenport.
People don't even really know who that is.
I'm talking about this 6'2 guy, 240, 230 pounds, running 434.
Fast, yeah.
6'2 guy, 240, 230 pounds, running 434.
Fast, yeah.
Like, Najee was like a, he was a 100-meter sprinter in high school.
Wow.
So.
Who are your wideouts?
Me, Daryl Jones, Kevin Beard, Jason Gavis.
Tight end with Shockey.
Jeremy Shockey.
I ain't even mention this person person Kellen Winslow Jr.
Sitting there
Didn't even play
Right
You had the backup
Tight end to him
He went to end up
In the Buffalo
Had a neck injury
Yeah
He's actually from here
Oh my God
I can't think his name right now
Kevin Everett
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah he's actually
from here in Houston.
And then your D-line
was loaded.
Jerome McDougal,
Andrew Williams,
William Joseph.
Like I said,
Vince Woodford
wasn't even starting.
Both of your linebackers
going the first round.
DJ Williams,
Jonathan Vilma.
Chris Campbell
would have been
the second round pick
past the win
in the car crash
Ed Reed
Mike Grump
Phillip Buchanan
I'd go old and old
but they were loaded
go ahead
I ran out of questions
you made headlines for some of the
donations you're very charitable
you've been in the community.
You give back to your community.
Why was that so important to you?
You started this when you played.
You've continued it now that you're here full time.
Why was that so important to you, Dre?
Because I was always a person like, I never wanted to forget where I come from, right?
I never wanted to forget where I come from, right?
I remember being a kid, and I was, we would stand on the corner. I was playing Little League.
We would stand on the corner and, you know, ask for money, donations,
because we were trying to go to Orlando to play in a, what do you call it,
the Turkey Bowl or something back then?
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, yeah.
to play in a, what do you call it, the turkey bowl or something back then?
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, yeah. So I'll never forget, I woke up to this car, and a guy, he sees me coming.
He's digging in his bag, and he turns around and gives me his $5.
It was Dan Marino.
What?
Yes.
So you don't realize like the impact
that have on you as a little kid.
I'm nine or 10 years old.
So I just always said like, man, if I was to ever make it,
I wanted to give back, you know,
to people who was more or less fortunate than me.
Wow.
That's an unbelievable story.
You get in coaching, you see your former teammate D'Amico,
head coach of the Texans.
Is coaching in Dre's future?
I get this question almost every day.
Right now, I would say no.
But you can't hang out with Ocho if you start coaching.
Yeah, I ain't trying to hang out with Ocho.
I don't go nowhere.
I don't go nowhere.
Cigar ball, that's it.
No.
But no.
I would say no right now, but I think eventually in the future it could possibly happen.
All right.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Andre Johnson, the first member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame from the Texas.
Where we going tonight?
He ain't going nowhere, really.
He's just talking crazy. crazy Well he in these streets boy
