[0:00]" Let's talk to Agassi as a Roosevelt used and Roosevelt was gone. Mad dog Greg what's -- Nomar today. This China retaining. Yeah yeah. Evident during really hectic 23 weeks for me. Sounds like -- Roosevelt is Roosevelt Colvin. Roosevelt Colvin and call again during the lightning round let's go on augment they don't accuse. Try to relax a bit. -- now. How to how did you come to be a Houston Texan I thought for sure oh when you left New England that you were going to the Indianapolis Colts on your hometown team did you ever consider that."

[0:47]" Definitely was strong possibility just and in. You know that I did you know older and my wife before he is in so I'm not looking -- They'll bounce around a whole lot so a commitment was big for me and the Colts. There register it definitely very interested but at the same time that the detectives. Had a better deal they were more adjusted to certain that there -- commitment level to me was."

[1:17]" So the money was no it's not. It's about half."

[1:20]" Essays -- though money is always to always played a factor I think. No one's going to go out and just play for free that the same. In all the raw like -- the package was a little bit better -- In the -- felt more comfortable with but that -- isn't going elsewhere and doing you know something Olympic that is significant."

[1:43]" There are a lot of rumors about your foot your ankle. I'll what's the real story and you gotta be ready for drinking."

[1:50]" Without problems -- what is definitely not a problem anymore I should be you know find. The Texans clearly disliked the calls could we want to -- now both physical and you know been working out with between the last couple weeks but we can we call medical background and -- to. Try to find a home -- and get acclimated little bit and technical -- another week off and ankle backed out trying to camps own. We should be should because the Goshen via the the the situation is that prevented from doing everything other than you know Colts fans -- you know computers restaurants. You know them taking care you know what I am what I've been called Bennett -- whole bit and."

[2:31]" And Rosie you mentioned that the commitment level and doing something less significantly with other teams. Have you talked about the Texans coaching staff about your role have you talked about how you might be employed -- that defense is certainly could use. A guy like you rushing the passer from the outside."

[2:48]" Yes the big question everybody's asking in there was one of those situations I was. And investigators. This offer my services of people. What is specific -- in the in the plate -- they would allow me to play and so. Ultra confident you know -- and anything for three all the ball linebacker you know 34 linebacker. What do you have to -- like of got the tools to get this. The thing is just you know him off my tools of what I have you know suited for what you would like you know to have you -- so. On the discussions have been very brief and very you know general. And so I think what my options are what they've laid out -- with the possibilities could be. I don't have a problem with the so -- whether that is a spotter retief afternoon's starter at linebacker. You know it best to remain to be seen whether it's a situation got to come in pressure situations. And I'd have to wait treat me. -- NFL you can you could be a starter in the become a kind of an injured reserve like myself then in one -- or. You could be your dad this is the situation or it'll come in and plays. Have to game. And you know -- once that you could be the start for the rest of season or -- this situation guys still play 5060 plate so. And I think being comfortable in yourself from being comfortable in your role with the team as is was key -- compliment to a point."

[4:18]" No Mike -- Derek historians and you in the Boston Globe on Sunday and in that story you talked about collier. Different now. Since since the moment you stepped into the -- when he came here you're young guy -- describe as a wily veteran. When it when he came to New England. No one has stolen your calmed down phrase. -- on the radio but I'll elaborate just talk about some of the ways that you've changed since used on the Patriots."

[4:47]" It goes -- you say they're cute my life now is to that point where there's. At a com -- he's an element I think -- peace of mind is what I ethnicity and so. It always when I first got there well we've been going into my fifty years to be. I was still young to try to prove everybody you know how was legitimate -- as well was when I sit back to do rocket won't feel so. I'd give up their proved that with the big contract and so. There's a lot of things going on. You know just do that every day restricted you have would be in a pro athletes. On top of that as that -- an article you elect not. We're in the process -- our third child as we move out their final home for the first. If there was a lot of different things go wrong as at this point -- been so blessed to be over experience so many different things and whether it be. Good things go bad -- situation that I am proud of what that I'm very same come to the point where are sort of understand. You know a lot of those things go involved in the things got done cardinal bought. You know electronic gadget that I purchased a ruby Tuesday really don't even matter and unnecessary in. I've got to a point where I got try to make everything as simple as possible and it. You know it the calm down phrase it it feel reigns supreme in my house so I just told a White. There was we got a text message from our friends about -- situation they were asking about the caught in the net in. I just told it to the telecom down there in -- averaged. You know about it happened with the cost Havertown nowadays about a million dollars to just put that away and and -- be happy with that that. You know my life is his -- It's been so finally on this topic of couples are as far as what I. When I've been looking for and -- Omar toward drove our -- in my whole war -- right now for. A pack of pains White T shirts some with flops because the weather is so beautiful with Houston and I can just relax."

[6:53]" On what size what size are you going to -- everybody -- odd if nothing. The -- that me."

[7:00]" I get two two quick to do it could be too fast for me so take Cubs White T shirt. You know khaki shorts in the if that plot is going to be. Our main retirement and to on the try to enjoy myself because it's been difficult. Not because of any particular situation being in New England with just. The stress and the strain that I put myself through. You know as an athlete in the pro athlete to do the things that I had to do to be successful. You know it's it's been stressful for the last four so. I'm going to take this opportunity like that bit upset before in the past -- to enjoy. Well I have become who in all my -- our relationship opportunity that I have as a professional athlete. It's open up that the same time and still going to be humble. But still going to try to work part -- to be the best for cooperative but. Just just take it -- the do you never know you never know what things are going to change in I didn't know that that they don't win if Korea. Was going to be -- walked out of the stadium you know. I think back to first now walked in the stadium and so the last -- walked out of there was not really the way it I want to remember."

[8:17]" Well they're going to look at chew out thing you do teammates in Houston knows he's a guy who played -- a part of multiple championships here with new England and as a veteran leader. Can't a guy coming from one team to another. Join a new team is a veteran and immediately be a leader can you walk in on day wore on it and say I'm going to tell you out you XY and Z were going to get better the after. -- that leadership tag on a new team like the Texans."

[8:41]" I think some of the of the things you've done your careers you view that car that you completed St. you have to. He'll be careful because you do with. -- do with egos to do with. You know you know to themselves that was more better what think that much better than the next person in the wrong and so. And never have been Iran Iraq -- Mario are -- it's always you know try to tell somebody what to do. Or how to do it -- it's been typographical out and just keep the -- and so. My work ethic in how come the workers are prepared myself I would hope that you know it it is. -- at championship level and as. I'll move on we're -- you know if it's in Houston Rockets stop of at home over boxes in my next to next career what I did -- play a football. That the people around me would see I mean business in the things not do a legitimate and what that word to come out of my mouth. On not lives there aren't true and that's not going to be so. You know they got a young group of guys down a lot of young play makers you know they have they felt like they've made a lot of improvement. Over the last two years and in the -- this year attributed to you know try to. Push make a run to to make the play outwitted every team's goal but at St. they've put their history. A little bigger and better things and so. You but he got a -- Williams advocate on DeMeco Ryans but it -- they have Will Demps. -- two who went at it we've got like that they have on a decent Morlon Greenwood they have they have a lot of talent. Everybody he has talent the difference between the teams that win of the success successful is to drive the work that you put into extra work that you put in. And the culmination have you worked in winter coat of and so that kept wanting to have benefited from. What -- my time and Lehman and hope that you know equal for the Houston Texans can become one of the the better team definitely."

[10:35]" You know speaking of the coaching staff Rosie. I've loved your take on what you thought of Bill Belichick before he got here. And what you found out when coach -- and also the New England fans in general we're always tell people it's different here. There's a level passion here that you'll find another place with. I don't think he can quite understand it into your apartment so I had like comment on the through."

[11:00]" You know. Bill obviously his is his track record being with the Giants in Cleveland the Jets make about schooling. You know I had heard two he was very difficult to deal with when it comes to European coach and so. But what first four -- Chicago article spun and it would pale in the and he was extremely hard on this as linebackers -- so Brian Urlacher. And war program we were young group of guys try to make a name prove ourselves if he'd made it better. Like given -- that militant type of atmosphere and as I graduated from that. In democracy in this and an out looking in at the opportunity to become a free agent. I didn't want to go back and that type -- environment now with the -- that I gotten from the outside of who deal was. As you know it to the locker room and got to know him as a coach. Got a -- at the person. Totally different -- He does a great job of directing and receiving all -- about we use in the things he take it away from the team. Onto itself. Which gives the team that the better advantage as far as distractions a concern because now. You don't president really has to do with almost you know stupid questions like -- a lot of Internet is questioned why did you answer that question. Because now you take it from the player to clear all he can do you really a lot of focus on playing football and I give them a lot of credit about that I think he's upset -- many times he's. He's probably one of the best courses I've ever been around when it comes to football knowledge. On the acknowledge that the game across what phase pitchers in. He's going to know what -- problem what player that Bon -- is out on the field that practice field got to know what's going all -- that -- one time ever seen do really not pick it and it was going practiced. And now -- by goes topic that he was only talk to one side so. He's a great coach I think as I've been in a couple organizations Chicago and then on to New England. You know that. If there's there's the good experience has been tremendous and I can't -- the departed question."

[13:06]" you know that I always say this that that journalism groups on journalism groups never -- two part question because. One of those questions is going to be ignored so I did the mistake of asking you to question."

[13:17]" Remember -- it was a bit it was defective about the fan base and other people in doing responsive to the I was fortunate to play at Chicago and that and that -- first -- doing -- said that the fans are very similar in. In the fact that that that passes for their sports team is is huge have to bear fans you find them everywhere. New England Patriots fans you find them everywhere the success of the Bulls when Jordan was there was tremendous for the city. The Bears still at the point where there's the commitment and updated about superbowl but you know -- they have a lot of young talent there at the trying to do it. -- hockey teams the baseball team and so -- that the the two cities they're market but definitely compare all the success. The recent success of the doing in the doing area obviously with the pages to Super Bowls that on the team has won. The Red Sox -- editors and now most recently that the Celtics in the NBA title. It gives them -- upper hand right now with it's it's been great to be a part of community that loves sports -- It's the same way in Houston in my family grew -- in Houston -- first you know professional. Gain sports game was in the Houston -- and Houston -- and so. You know much out there in what I remember picked the -- from looking forward to that. And -- remember all those those old you know scout blue jerseys and you know -- in. You know by. One among -- I can commit three it was a three -- but that was."

[14:56]" Not all that I was never not been here that have a nickname just they were just good run and she's got generally regarded -- dividends."

[15:05]" death so if not. I'm I'm looking forward to the the experience but yet that the people of Boston and the people doing in the way that they love this sport is is great."

[15:16]" Well and Rosie was always is always fun talking to always fun doing Patriots Monday with you you know during the season. Every time you make a sack going to play call down a place -- Rosevelt Colvin in a year."

[15:29]" I appreciate that -- you know -- with -- try to do is. If I'm gonna trip I'm really going to try to trademark that so now can do royalties for -- against every time you play is probably upright maybe 23 though."

[15:44]" You know -- it was so contradictory that I just heard a guy about ten minutes ago. But he sounded like he was going away from all the material things in life on the giveaway in my clothes on it was apparent -- knotted."

[15:56]" Lots or respect didn't I never that I was going to keep the way -- but I would trade though when you Tracy most the times like NBA it is equal values the Bob Michaels may be -- 50000 now if someone has that there would take that so it'll they're. The trade out for you beat up to use my boys on your radio station without my permission."

[16:18]" It's around here is not say that all the time outs in an outcome that for the for the."

[16:24]" I am and I and I would say if I'd definitely have two point is just to play or my life is. Is that he's I don't have a lot of situations that about that definitely a blessing. And operated my -- to continue to. Picks LB forum and I'm enjoying it right now I'm enjoying my children enjoyed my time in New England you know look forward to much he's."

[16:47]" Our roles and always good to hear from the man check him off to second or does it. That's -- couldn"
