PrintIt's been far too long since I've stammered, muttered, and/or sobbed on air for public consumption, so I agreed to accept an invitation from the good people at The Pulse Network to appear on their sports show--aptly titled "Sports Buzz"--to talk about your Houston Texans. This morning. Like, in about half an hour.
Specifically, you can hear the dulcet tones of my cracking voice from approximately 9 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. CDT 9:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. CDT this morning by clicking here. Give it a listen, won't you?

Good luck!
Hopefully, puberty won’t kick in while you’re on the air. That would be sooooooooo embarrassing.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Welp
they started to talk Patriots and I shut it off… LOL
Good job
But seriously, does Butch do any research on a team he is going to talk about? Andre Davis? Ken Walter? Still wanting to talk about the Nnamdi pursuit? No mention of JoJo or D-Man. You represented well, but I think he is widely ignorent outside of his New England comfort zone.
And YES
I just labeled Danieal Manning, D-Man. Not sure if it has been done yet, but I feel a trend forming.

Also how did he not know we hired Wade Phillips as our DC??
That was probably the biggest offseason move we did…
He asked about Dom Capers as our DC and who replaced Dom Capers at DC
even though capers was our head coach….
Someone needs to kill him.
Or at least take away his ability to broadcast.

Hey!
Just because S-Mus doesn’t work…
nah, you’re right though
its not a nickname, its a contraction.
I like nicknames that have some meaning or spark curiosity.
Cool Papa Bell. Thats a nickname.

that sounds like a blues musician
there’s a formula for blues musician names: physical ailment/affliction + fruit or vegetable + former president
e.g. Blind Lime Jefferson
Blind Lemon
Actually.

whee did that come from anyway?
Blues Brothers? Cheech and Chong? I’m drawing a blank but I know it came from somewhere
He comes from Wortham, TX
Father of the Texas Blues, and precursor of Texas blues greats such as Lightnin’ Hopkins, Leadbelly, Albert Collins, and, of course, Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Maybe the the Ideas of Blues names
The better blues writers/singers usually employ a catchy nickname. The following is a list of topics that may prove helpful in determining a blues-compatible nickname:
• Physical Infirmities
Examples of this genre include Blind, Crippled, Asthmatic. Infirmities that do not lend themselves to blues-compatible nicknames are Pigeon-Toed, Color-Blind, Hearing Impaired, Tone Deaf, Poor Sense of Direction, or Itchy Skin Rash.
• Fruit Names
Examples of blues-compatible fruit nicknames include Lemon, Lime, Melon, and Peach. Fruits such as Pineapple, Kumquat, Passion Fruit, and Seedless Grape just will not convey the proper blues state of mind in your listeners.
• Presidential Last Names
Presidential last names are an unusually rich source of blues-compatible nicknames. However, you must select the proper name. Blues-compatible presidential last names include Johnson, Jefferson, Lincoln, Cleveland, and Roosevelt, just to name a few. Non blues-compatible presidential last names include Taft, Eisenhower, Ford, Hoover, and Harding.
To sum up, a blues-compatible nickname might be Blind Lemon Roosevelt, whereas a non blues-compatible nickname would be Pigeon-Toed Seedless Grape Eisenhower

Generally agree, but...
D-Man sounds enough like “the man” that it works on another level here.

D-Man...
Reminds me of Demolition Man for some reason. Danieal “Demolition” Manning?
BTW pretty terrible movie but funny for the “Utopian” future aspect.

Maybe
But I have two rebuttals, one being that this blog uses K-Dub and K-Jax, show the same technique. The other is what a nickname insinuates. When Manning is taking back pick-6’s for the Texans, you are going to say wow he is D-Man. Just some food for thought S-Mus ;)
so a nickname can be a couple of things
Mike being a nickname for Michael. In that sense its just a shortening of an actual name. I dislike the Arod, KJack, AGon nicknames because they no longer have any type of meaning when every single athlete starts having the same formula for a nickname. Plus I just think it sounds silly.
Red being a nickname for Morgan Freeman is a replacement of a given name. Why is his name red? Where did this name come from? Im a fan of this approach.

I know nothing about the Pulse Network or the guy hosting the show
but it was pretty clear his perspective was fantasy football, and that means offensive playmakers are overwhelmingly going to be the focus.
I liked how he said
“well, they didn’t land Asomugha so we’ll be talking about their offense again…”
that may not be exact, but pretty close. At least Tim was there to balance him out, unlike ESPN or NFL network
"Has Mario been worthy of that pick?"
Yes.
Next question.

Other appropriate answers include
“Are you serious, bro?”
Decline comment.

The best part about this, now knowing you are not from Texas.
Kind of reminds me of that one episode of King of the Hill when Hank finds out he was born in NY.

Take it for what its worth but
Colin Cowherd said we are a legitimate dark horse super bowl team
He always seems to know what hes talking about. Exept for his odd love of brady..

Wait ... what?
Colin Cowherd “always seems to know what he’s talking about”? I can only assume that you meant to use the sarcasm font and it didn’t work.

Well, he said we're contenders
But wouldn’t really commit to the Super Bowl. He made a very good case for us though, and that surprised the hell out of me. He said name a team that has a better combination of offensive skill positions than Schaub, Johnson, Foster, and Daniels. Add that to the Wade Phillips hiring, Mario being a stud, and the signing of Joseph and it’s a recipe for win.
His producers laughed at him but he held to his opinion. I like Cowherd but I normally disagree with most of his views. This time he made me proud.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Oh God, we're screwed then.

Judging by the comments, Tim,
I’d say it’s best that you took this interview instead of me. I might’ve had to reach through the phone and punch the guy.

Tim did an excellent job
Considering “that guy” Bud Sterns can’t get a lot of names right.
