00:05 Now how about the story that came out over the weekend with JJ Watt,
00:08 who retired pretty emphatically last year?
00:11 I thought that was the end, but Vinny, we've seen this before.
00:14 Like around the league, Tom Brady and his roast yesterday was like,
00:17 that was like half the discussion about him retiring and unretiring.
00:21 So look, I sort of get it from JJ Watt's point of view.
00:24 I don't know how much he has left to give, but
00:28 it does sound to me based on these comments like, Houston was his team.
00:33 It's the only team he would come back to.
00:36 And if in October they needed some help,
00:39 they would call Watt to finish things off on the defensive end side in the year.
00:43 And by the way, Vinny, I think this is potentially realistic here.
00:47 And if you're Watt, why not?
00:48 I mean, he spent all the time in Houston with just one and
00:51 duns in the playoffs.
00:52 If I'm him and I can just play for three months, I would put the cleats back on too.
00:57 >> Yeah, and there's a lot of hype around the Texans.
00:59 I mean, they're getting almost as hype as the Chiefs or
01:02 Ravens in the AFC right now.
01:05 CJ Stroud, the buzz of last season, faring well as a rookie.
01:09 And then all the things they did this offseason, I mentioned Stefan Diggs,
01:13 they went out and acquired him.
01:14 So the Texans are in the serious business, trying to quickly flip.
01:17 They were a playoff team consistently with DeSean Watson, but
01:20 now they're pretty high ceiling with CJ Stroud.
01:22 There's that Bengals vibe with them with Joe Burrow.
01:25 In the second full season there, so I think Stroud and
01:29 the Texans are kind of channeling that energy right now as a real hyped team.
01:35 And JJ Watt went through a lot of playoff failures.
01:37 Maybe he sees this team, okay, we might have a chance with Stroud to go deep in
01:40 the playoffs, maybe get into the Super Bowl.
01:42 So yeah, he'll be next to his phone.
01:44 I guess the NFL today will have to try to change up their lineup again.
01:49 He has to leave and go play in the NFL again.
