New podcast to feature Longhorns legends Mack Brown, Vince Young covering the 2025 team
The new podcast will launch on July 23 and will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms. New episodes be added every Wednesday, with an extended video versions available on YouTube. The podcast is produced in partnership with Sinclair, the parent company of CBS Austin.
It's all about Texas Athletics, and what a great athletic program. But we'll start with football. ... We'll talk about everything Texas football. We'll talk about media days last week. How he (VY) handled media days. How I talked about media days. ... And we'll especially talk about that opener in the Shoe, because Vince and I were there one night and came away with a three-point win and it's an unbelievable atmosphere." -- Mack Brown on The Stampede
After parting ways with North Carolina, Brown moved back to Austin where he's been a visible face around UT athletics. In fact, Brown first met Arch Manning at a UT basketball game, where they exchanged pleasantries.
Now that he's completely retired, Brown has been reflecting on his 16 year tenure at Texas with great fondness and honesty. The 73-year-old has appeared on several podcasts and shows since announcing his retirement.
In a recent episode of the "See Ball Get Ball" podcast with former ESPN analyst David Pollack, Brown shared candid insights about his time at Texas and the burnout he experienced before leaving the Longhorns in 2013.
'We got tired at Texas. Sixteen years is a long time at a place like Texas. Sally [his wife] always said it's four presidential terms. So that's a long time to be at the University of Texas, so it was probably time for me to leave there and for them to get somebody else new, because you get worn down.' -- Mack Brown on See Ball Get Ball
Now Brown will get to talk Texas football every week with the player he won a national title with.

Astros' Dana Brown details long-term positional plans
The Houston Astros were one of the most active teams on the days leading up to the MLB trade deadline last week. They prioritized trading for players who can fill the positional gaps in the team's batting lineup. In doing so, Houston traded for the following players: shortstop Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins, third baseman Ramon Urias from the Baltimore Orioles, and outfielder Jesus Sanchez from the Miami Marlins. All three new additions are players who will be under the Houston Astros' control for future years to come. Correa has the longest contract, which runs through 2028 with vesting options linked from 2029 to 2032. Sanchez will be in team control until after 2027, and Urias will be in team control through the 2026 season. These deals give manager Joe Espada and general manager Dana Brown multiple years to put together lineups that will lead to the team's best outcomes. Brown spoke about what to expect for years to come with a fully healthy Astros team. One factor will be getting Isaac Paredes fully healthy by next season after suffering a torn hamstring in late July. "We could potentially play Paredes at 2nd. We could try Correa at 2nd," Brown told SportsTalk 790, according to Astros writer Michael Schwab. Houston will be having some testing to do with a team at full health. After trading for shortstop Carlos Correa, the team has started to transition him to a new position at third base. However, once Isaac Paredes returns, the third base and second base positions will be determined later on.

Dez Bryant, Roc Nation take issue with Jerry Jones
The recent Jerry Jones word potato salad regarding his direct negotiations with linebacker Micah Parsons included a gratuitous slap at former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and his agent, Jay-Z. Via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jones had this to say about Bryant and Jay-Z: '[W]hen we have a problem with the player, the agent is nowhere to be found. Jay-Z said that Dez would make all meetings. Jay-Z and I negotiated the contract, spent hours. He said, 'Anybody in my organization is on time.' He said, 'My office used to be on the street corner, and I've always been early. So, they will be on time.' And what did I say? I said, 'I'm going to call you [when I have a problem].' He quit taking my call.' Bryant responded on Twitter, with an all-caps warning for Jerry. (We've edited it, so that we're not screaming at your eyeballs.) "Jerry Jones," Bryant said, "I don't think it's smart to mention my name. I kept quiet about a lot of unfair shit. On some G shit. We can have story time if that's what we are doing." Jay-Z's sports agency, Roc Nation, issued a separate statement that takes issue with the claim that Jay-Z stopped taking Jerry's calls. (Again, we've edited it from the all-caps tweet.) "In 2015, at the 21 Club, on a napkin, Jerry Jones, Juan Perez, Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter, and Stephen Jones negotiated a five-year, $70 million deal, which included a $45 million guarantee and a $20 million signing bonus for Dez Bryant. At the time, it was the second-largest contract for a wide receiver in NFL history. "The claim that Mr. Carter or Roc Nation representatives did not return a call from Jerry Jones is not only a false statement, but it's also a comical one." Setting aside the question of how Jay-Z was directly negotiating NFL contracts without being licensed by the NFLPA to do so, the currently salient point is this. Jerry Jones, in trying to put out the fire arising from Parsons requesting a trade, may have accidentally turned the hose on a couple of hornets' nests. We'll sit back and wait to see if he gets stung.
