| November 8th, 2012

Note: All blog podcasts are supposed to be available on iTunes by searching DaBearsBlog. Let me know if it fails.

John McClain is one of the legend of the football writing business and I was honored he spent a few minutes on the phone with me Wednesday evening. On the call he discusses:

    • Circumstances surrounding the Houston Oilers leaving Houston for Nashville and how an NFL franchise ultimately returned
    • Similar Texas demeanors of head coaches Gary Kubiak and Lovie Smith
    • Influence of Wade Phillips on the Texans organization
    • Why Danieal Manning has thrived in a new city, new system
    • Houston’s liability in the middle of their run defense
    • Brian Urlacher’s Hall of Fame credentials (he’s a voter with influence)
    • How a longtime NFL writer ends up with a side career acting in Hollywood pictures
