Daniel GoteraHOST
In fact, while I was working with Channel 11, we had this Dynamo kickoff corner game.
Daniel GoteraHOST
kickoff show whatever i forget what it was called but we did a lot of dynamo stuff uh we'd go to robertson we talked to other guys all the time i developed a good friendship with brian ching and i knew pat onstead brad davis had a little bit of a run-in with brad davis at one point he thought that i was snapping in his general direction when general when i was just snapping and he kind of said hey are you snapping anyway whatever I don't know where Brad Davis is now, but it doesn't matter.
Daniel GoteraHOST
That is a side story.
Daniel GoteraHOST
Maybe we could talk about it another day.
Daniel GoteraHOST
You would think that the soccer buzz would be more, right, here in town, but it just isn't there, and it's been like that for so, so long, and I'm so disappointed by it because I've always liked the Dynamo.
Daniel GoteraHOST
When I got to Houston, I covered them, Brian Ching, Brad Davis, those teams that would go to the Western Conference, Eastern Conference finals back then, actually.
Daniel GoteraHOST
They won a couple of MLS Cups, and they won a U.S. Open Cup, so they've had success.
Daniel GoteraHOST
They're not an after-run organization.

Chris SinskiHOST
But let's liven things up with a fun wrap-up, my favorite part of this podcast.
Chris SinskiHOST
Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Ching was just inaugurated as the first member of the Dynamo Ring of Honor.
Chris SinskiHOST
I want to know, the people want to know, we want to know, who else would you add to the list? And I'm going to start with Manny.
Chris SinskiHOST
Kyle, I think you're the longest running fan, so you'll get to go last.
Krystopher ScrogginsHOST
Yeah, there's just...
Krystopher ScrogginsHOST
Who else? When you think of iconic Dynamo players, especially from, like, the golden age, those big years, like...
Krystopher ScrogginsHOST
Brian Ching is top, and I think that Brad Davis is number two.
Krystopher ScrogginsHOST
And then, you know, after Ching retired or declined a bit, like Brad Davis was the guy that picked up that mantle and carried the team forward and kept us in our dominant phase until Owen Coyle ran him out of town in 2013, which I will never forgive him for.
Pat McAfeeHOST
Legend.

Michael BerryHOST
And he was telling the story about the scouting on J.J. Watt.
