- 0:13Speaker 2: This's Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:22Speaker 1: What is up it?
- 0:23Speaker 4: It's time for Cowboys Storyline. Monday, November the twentieth Cowboys
- 0:28Speaker 4: coming off of thirty three to ten win against the
- 0:31Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, and now they can turn their
- 0:35Speaker 4: attention to three game homestand starting Thursday Thanksgiving against Washington
- 0:42Speaker 4: at Seattle after that and then of course Philly. But Cowboys,
- 0:46Speaker 4: this is kind of what we thought they would be.
- 0:48Speaker 4: They would had two straight wins, now seven and three.
- 0:53Speaker 4: I've said they'd get to ten and three. So you
- 0:55Speaker 4: can't get to ten and three unless you gets seven
- 0:57Speaker 4: and three, seven and three, three home game games to go,
- 1:01Speaker 4: and we can talk about and talk about all the
- 1:03Speaker 4: stuff that that happened yesterday in Carolina. From the start
- 1:07Speaker 4: when they made the announcement, Jimmy Johnson was going to
- 1:10Speaker 4: go into the ring of honor, to the game, to
- 1:13Speaker 4: anything else that you want to talk about. So all right,
- 1:16Speaker 4: eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven, that
- 1:19Speaker 4: is the number we can you can send text message
- 1:22Speaker 4: as well.
- 1:23Speaker 1: When that goes up on the screen. But when we.
- 1:27Speaker 4: We'll start off, we'll start with uh, let's go to
- 1:28Speaker 4: the phone line. Start off with Aaron, Aaron and Los Angeles.
- 1:32Speaker 4: He's first time caller, Aaron.
- 1:33Speaker 1: What's up, man?
- 1:34Speaker 5: Hey, how's it going man?
- 1:35Speaker 6: Good morning.
- 1:35Speaker 5: I'm really grateful to talk to you.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Good morning. Thank you for calin. It's early over there.
- 1:42Speaker 4: What's that it's early over there?
- 1:45Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you.
- 1:45Speaker 5: Know you got to get up early if you want
- 1:47Speaker 5: to get on and talk.
- 1:47Speaker 8: To you.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The storyline. That's right, what's up?
- 1:51Speaker 9: Man?
- 1:51Speaker 5: So, so, you know, I've been listening for twenty plus
- 1:55Speaker 5: years and this is the first time I called in
- 1:56Speaker 5: to talk to you guys. I really dug the dynamic
- 1:58Speaker 5: between you and Derek.
- 2:00Speaker 7: Yeah, going back to the original days.
- 2:02Speaker 5: I just wanted to talk about a couple of things
- 2:04Speaker 5: real quick. One. You know, I think that we've you know,
- 2:07Speaker 5: I hope that we've played our our curse of the Bambino,
- 2:11Speaker 5: curse of the the Billy go whatever it was, by
- 2:13Speaker 5: getting Jimmy in the in the ring of honor.
- 2:16Speaker 6: Finally.
- 2:18Speaker 5: You know, I'm glad they got over that and and
- 2:20Speaker 5: hopefully that was the one thing that that gets us
- 2:22Speaker 5: past that Uh, that wall.
- 2:24Speaker 4: So yeah, well I don't subscribe to that theory because
- 2:28Speaker 4: they did win a Super Bowl afterwards.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But I know it was still Jimmy teams.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Well I disagree, but that's okay, that's okay, it doesn't matter,
- 2:37Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. What's cool now is that is that Jimmy,
- 2:41Speaker 4: Jimmy is able to go in. It's a really important
- 2:43Speaker 4: to him. It sounds like it's very important to his family. Uh,
- 2:47Speaker 4: And I'm glad that whatever the issues were, I'm glad
- 2:51Speaker 4: that they've moved past that to the point where they
- 2:52Speaker 4: can put him in the Ring of Honor this year.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So that's I totally totally agree.
- 2:56Speaker 5: And then I just had a couple of comments real quick.
- 2:58Speaker 6: You know.
- 2:58Speaker 5: One, I think that McCarthy and Dak are doing a
- 3:01Speaker 5: great job of taking what the defense has given him.
- 3:05Speaker 5: I think that people get get kind of like caught
- 3:07Speaker 5: up and whether or not running the ball. Well, you know,
- 3:10Speaker 5: Dak is not you know, doing this or doing that.
- 3:12Speaker 5: You know, Pollard isn't doing this or that. But I
- 3:14Speaker 5: think at the end of the day, I think that
- 3:16Speaker 5: what they're doing is they're really taking what's given to him.
- 3:18Speaker 5: You know, the offensive line is playing playing well of late.
- 3:22Speaker 5: You know now that they you know, they had a
- 3:23Speaker 5: little time to be together, and the defense and and
- 3:27Speaker 5: and especially Deron Bland are doing a wonderful job. And
- 3:31Speaker 5: then just one last thing. My favorite Cowboy of all
- 3:34Speaker 5: time is Bill Bates.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Nice love it all right? Thank you, Aaron, appreciate that.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Uh. Bill Bates is a favorite for a lot of people,
- 3:43Speaker 4: and he was for for me as well.
- 3:45Speaker 1: When I was a young kid. We loved Bill Bates
- 3:50Speaker 1: just because he's he's.
- 3:51Speaker 4: A guy that you know, he didn't he didn't look
- 3:53Speaker 4: like necessarily an NFL player all the time, but he
- 3:56Speaker 4: was tough as nails and and really changed the way
- 3:58Speaker 4: I think the NFL viewed special teams. So all right,
- 4:02Speaker 4: let's keep rolling here. Joe in Stamford, Texas. Stanford right
- 4:06Speaker 4: there by Apple and Joe. What's going on?
- 4:09Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, my friend, Another good Monday, winning Monday,
- 4:13Speaker 6: A well rounded win for the Cowboys against the team
- 4:15Speaker 6: we should win and we should beat like that. I'm
- 4:18Speaker 6: excited for the win. I enjoy wins where I can relax.
- 4:22Speaker 6: Like we were talking about last week, It's sure nice
- 4:24Speaker 6: to not have my dog feel like I'm about to
- 4:27Speaker 6: kill him. My poor dog went on these close games.
- 4:30Speaker 6: He just really hates me scared. Yeah, he gets really scared, man,
- 4:34Speaker 6: and I hate that for him, but I can't help it.
- 4:36Speaker 6: So a couple of things we don't talk near enough about.
- 4:42Speaker 6: Marque Spell in my opinion ten tackles yesterday. I think
- 4:46Speaker 6: he was the one thing in the run defense that
- 4:48Speaker 6: looked pretty solid. Frankly, our run dye is still concerning
- 4:52Speaker 6: to me. I think that if Carolina can enforce its
- 4:54Speaker 6: will and run the ball when it wants to, then
- 4:57Speaker 6: I'm a little worried about some better teams. I know
- 4:59Speaker 6: that I'm trying to take away from the win, but
- 5:01Speaker 6: generally speaking, with these these kind of games, I'm really
- 5:04Speaker 6: looking at what we can improve on. One thing that
- 5:07Speaker 6: did improve and I'm really happy about, and I will
- 5:09Speaker 6: admit I think I was probably a little bit wrong
- 5:11Speaker 6: about Pollard. He looked a lot better this week. Uh,
- 5:14Speaker 6: And I'm glad about that. One other thing I wanted
- 5:17Speaker 6: to talk about before I got off the line. You know,
- 5:19Speaker 6: we criticized Mike McCarthy a lot for dumb things, and
- 5:22Speaker 6: I try not to do that, but that challenge during
- 5:26Speaker 6: the game, I don't know what the heck he was
- 5:28Speaker 6: doing there. So if you're going to go ahead and
- 5:31Speaker 6: give up the timeout, go ahead and challenge. I mean
- 5:34Speaker 6: he didn't want to. He was trying to say, oh no,
- 5:37Speaker 6: I didn't mean to do that. Well, not only did
- 5:39Speaker 6: we did we take away the fact that we took
- 5:41Speaker 6: took him to second down, but we also gave up
- 5:45Speaker 6: a time out, and then we didn't even challenge the play.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it was worth challenging at that
- 5:51Speaker 4: At that point, you know, you got to remember, the
- 5:57Speaker 4: coaches don't see what you see. Like what you're seeing
- 6:00Speaker 4: is you're seeing, you know, like Fox is showing the
- 6:03Speaker 4: play and all that, but the coach doesn't see it
- 6:05Speaker 4: the same way. He's trying to rely on someone else
- 6:08Speaker 4: who is trying to figure out do we challenge this
- 6:10Speaker 4: or not While they're running up to the line of scrimmage.
- 6:13Speaker 4: I think he was trying to challenge it or or
- 6:16Speaker 4: he dropped it down. By that time, I think they
- 6:19Speaker 4: saw enough replays and they're like, all right, you already
- 6:21Speaker 4: dropped it, but he's gonna catch it.
- 6:23Speaker 6: So I mean, but I mean, at least challenge it.
- 6:26Speaker 6: At least. I mean, this is my opinion. I mean,
- 6:28Speaker 6: if nothing else, you get a little bit of time
- 6:30Speaker 6: to look at your play sheet. Yeah, I mean, I
- 6:33Speaker 6: just think it's I mean, if you're gonna give up
- 6:35Speaker 6: the time out, let's at least have the time for
- 6:37Speaker 6: the time out.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Well, I don't think you wanted to lose the challenge.
- 6:40Speaker 1: That's the thing. He didn't want to lose it. You
- 6:42Speaker 1: don't lose the challenge.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Oh okay, So I didn't understand that. So now doesn't
- 6:45Speaker 6: lose the challenge.
- 6:46Speaker 4: That's my understanding is he did not lose the challenge.
- 6:49Speaker 4: So that's why he didn't. He didn't choose to challenge.
- 6:51Speaker 4: He still have two challenges.
- 6:53Speaker 9: How bad?
- 6:53Speaker 6: That makes sen sense? All Right, we'll have a great day.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But all right, see you later. Joe and Stanford. That
- 6:58Speaker 1: was Joe.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Now we're moving to Florida. Dylan, Northport, Florida.
- 7:03Speaker 1: What's up?
- 7:03Speaker 9: Man? Hey Nick?
- 7:05Speaker 1: How's it going, dude? How are you? How was the
- 7:07Speaker 1: trip you went to didn't you go on the trip?
- 7:11Speaker 8: Yeah? Man, went to Disney Mickey mouse Land.
- 7:15Speaker 4: You survived, you know what? So did I I felt
- 7:18Speaker 4: like I did as well. I felt like I went
- 7:20Speaker 4: to Disney kind of a Mickey mouse a situation we
- 7:23Speaker 4: had in Carolina. I felt like that myself a little bit,
- 7:26Speaker 4: screaming kids things like that. Yeah, yeah, I kind of
- 7:29Speaker 4: felt like I went to Disney too without without some
- 7:31Speaker 4: of the rides.
- 7:32Speaker 1: What's up, man?
- 7:33Speaker 8: Yeah, now that was cool to see. No, man, it's Alaska.
- 7:36Speaker 8: They were talking about his dog catching a break there.
- 7:39Speaker 8: My dog didn't. Man, when Bland got that pick stick,
- 7:42Speaker 8: my dog had to run into her room.
- 7:43Speaker 7: She was so scared.
- 7:44Speaker 8: I was screaming my head off.
- 7:45Speaker 6: I was.
- 7:46Speaker 8: I was stoked on that. I called it a week
- 7:48Speaker 8: too earliest. I didn't go to get the week before,
- 7:49Speaker 8: but got it this week.
- 7:52Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like an easy call now, you
- 7:54Speaker 4: know what I mean. We did a thing called pod
- 7:56Speaker 4: picks the other day. Who's going to score the first
- 7:57Speaker 4: defensive touchdown? I was like, really, twelve team people picked Bland?
- 8:01Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, I mean why not?
- 8:03Speaker 4: And who else? I mean, this guy is unbelievable. He's
- 8:06Speaker 4: scoring all these these touchdown I mean, obviously we've never
- 8:09Speaker 4: seen it before because it hasn't happened in thirty years
- 8:11Speaker 4: since Eric Allen had four h four interceptions for touchdowns
- 8:16Speaker 4: in one season.
- 8:17Speaker 1: That's that's insane. It's insane.
- 8:18Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's not like he's like just catching tip
- 8:20Speaker 8: balls and stuff, like he's diving in front of dudes
- 8:22Speaker 8: and like doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Those dud's
- 8:24Speaker 8: crazy and I kind of wanted to stick on that topic.
- 8:27Speaker 8: I'm I keep it kind of short and simple. Today.
- 8:30Speaker 8: You know, we got two all pro I guess three
- 8:32Speaker 8: all I'm assuming Bland's going to be an All Pro.
- 8:34Speaker 8: But we got Gilly of course. But you know the
- 8:37Speaker 8: work that I think Al Harris has done with that
- 8:39Speaker 8: with Digs and Bland, I think he's done a great job.
- 8:44Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know how to measure that, but
- 8:46Speaker 8: I'm hoping maybe you can kind of give us mentally
- 8:48Speaker 8: on the impact that he's made on some of these
- 8:50Speaker 8: young guys.
- 8:51Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's hard to measure that. It's hard
- 8:53Speaker 4: to measure what assistant coaches do. And are the guys
- 8:55Speaker 4: just really good or do they you know, do they
- 8:57Speaker 4: did they catch lightning in a bottle by drafting him
- 9:00Speaker 4: in the fifth round, But but you know they've developed him,
- 9:03Speaker 4: And you're right, Diggs is another person that that's that's developed.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's not.
- 9:08Speaker 4: At every position, but I think sometimes at corner corners
- 9:11Speaker 4: a little bit different, you know, because you got to
- 9:14Speaker 4: have a terrible memory. You got to stay focused on
- 9:17Speaker 4: every play. You're going up against the best athletes in
- 9:19Speaker 4: the world. And I think the fact that al Harris
- 9:22Speaker 4: played the position and also played it at a level
- 9:26Speaker 4: where he didn't give a crap, he really didn't like
- 9:29Speaker 4: he played, He played with that kind of mental edge
- 9:32Speaker 4: that I think that he coaches that way as well. Again,
- 9:36Speaker 4: I'm not in the meeting rooms, and I know, and
- 9:38Speaker 4: I don't want to discredit any other position coach that
- 9:41Speaker 4: didn't play the position, but I do think in this
- 9:43Speaker 4: particular case, the fact that Al Harris played it and
- 9:46Speaker 4: played it at a high level and played it with
- 9:49Speaker 4: with tenacity that you need. I think it's really it
- 9:52Speaker 4: pays off to the other.
- 9:53Speaker 8: Guys, Yeah, for sure. And you know, you talk about
- 9:56Speaker 8: the mentalities guys have to have, and you see a
- 9:59Speaker 8: lot of dbs talk and you know, trash and like
- 10:01Speaker 8: having amp themselves up do Digs and Bland are like
- 10:03Speaker 8: the quietest guys ever. And I just love that they
- 10:05Speaker 8: go out and just play. That's everything about them.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Digs is quiet, and so you put them on Twitter well,
- 10:10Speaker 4: and sometimes he can get loud there too, especially when
- 10:13Speaker 4: he's talking about his brother. All right, anything else, no, man,
- 10:17Speaker 4: that's so thanks, see you later, all right, Dylan Northport, Florida,
- 10:20Speaker 4: appreciate that we're gonna move to Arkansas.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Kurt in Arkansas? What's up?
- 10:25Speaker 9: Hey, Nick? How are you doing today? Good?
- 10:27Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 10:29Speaker 9: I'm great. I'm over there. And I believe I forgot
- 10:36Speaker 9: I'm drawing a blank.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Uhland drown Bland.
- 10:41Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I believe Bland I'll mark it down. I
- 10:44Speaker 9: believe Bland will have ten interceptions and six pick sixes
- 10:49Speaker 9: by the end of the year.
- 10:51Speaker 4: It's just incredible. It's just incredible to think that. I mean,
- 10:56Speaker 4: ever since Walls, it was, what do you have like
- 10:59Speaker 4: fifty inner? I think, I mean, he never had a
- 11:02Speaker 4: pick six? Yeah, I think he might have. He did
- 11:05Speaker 4: in the preseason, but in a regular season game. I
- 11:07Speaker 4: don't think everything else has ever scored a touchdown, and
- 11:10Speaker 4: for at least for the Cowboys. He may have may
- 11:12Speaker 4: have done it with another team, but not with the Cowboys.
- 11:14Speaker 4: But this guy's got four and when one and half a.
- 11:16Speaker 9: Season, right, That's what I'm saying, there's still seven more
- 11:21Speaker 9: games left. That's why I said Terror of Receptions and
- 11:25Speaker 9: six pick sixes.
- 11:26Speaker 4: Yeah, well that would be awesome. I mean, you know,
- 11:31Speaker 4: he got another question. I'll have another point to that,
- 11:34Speaker 4: but I just want to make sure you have another question.
- 11:37Speaker 9: Oh well, I'm drilling the blank on that linebacker slash
- 11:43Speaker 9: special teams player back in the nineties. Aaron mentioned him
- 11:48Speaker 9: a minute ago on the Building Bill Bates. Yeah. Bill
- 11:52Speaker 9: Bates is one of my favorites.
- 11:54Speaker 1: He was a bad boy, Yeah he was. He was.
- 11:57Speaker 1: He was awesome. Just didn't care about his body, right, Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 9: He'd go down there and take somebody kid out.
- 12:04Speaker 4: Right right, Well, all right, all right, appreciate that lot
- 12:09Speaker 4: of Bill Bates love.
- 12:10Speaker 9: Today mark my prediction for Bland.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Ten interceptions and six pick sixes. I mean, all right,
- 12:20Speaker 4: is that even going on a limb? I mean, like seriously,
- 12:22Speaker 4: I mean he's got six uh and you know, I
- 12:26Speaker 4: don't know.
- 12:27Speaker 1: About six pick sixes because it's so it's.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Just so lucky, like he honestly, like he may not
- 12:34Speaker 4: he may have four pick sixes, has four in his career.
- 12:37Speaker 4: He may have four for the next two years. I mean,
- 12:39Speaker 4: like it's just kind of the way it goes. But
- 12:42Speaker 4: he is definitely a playmaker. He's making some really really
- 12:46Speaker 4: great plays.
- 12:47Speaker 10: On the ball.
- 12:47Speaker 4: And and you know, the interesting part is that when
- 12:53Speaker 4: when Trayvon Diggs got hurt, I thought, and a lot
- 12:56Speaker 4: of us did, you know, well, this is unfortunate for
- 12:58Speaker 4: Stefan Gilmore. He's to come in here and be the
- 13:01Speaker 4: number two to Diggs. He come in here and not
- 13:04Speaker 4: necessarily be the one, but be the two. And the
- 13:07Speaker 4: cool part is I think he is still the two.
- 13:10Speaker 4: I mean, that's what that's the development that Deron Blamb has.
- 13:13Speaker 4: And I tell you this, there's a scout that stopped
- 13:18Speaker 4: me in training camp and he told me Deron Bland
- 13:22Speaker 4: is the best cornerback on this team by far. He
- 13:26Speaker 4: does everything better than the other guys. And I'm like,
- 13:31Speaker 4: you mean with Digs, with Diggs, I'm like wow, really
- 13:35Speaker 4: He's like, I'm just telling you he does everything the
- 13:38Speaker 4: way we want him to and all around. This guy said,
- 13:42Speaker 4: I think Bland is our best corner. So I was like, well,
- 13:46Speaker 4: that's that's good to know, you know he'll be that's
- 13:48Speaker 4: good to have your third corner. That way, well, he's
- 13:51Speaker 4: he's not anymore the third corner. And this is gonna
- 13:55Speaker 4: be a lot of fun. When when Trayvon does come
- 13:57Speaker 4: back next year and then to have these two corners
- 13:59Speaker 4: like that really really awesome.
- 14:01Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it rolling. Here the phone line.
- 14:03Speaker 4: We do have a phone line open though, eight eight
- 14:05Speaker 4: eight eight five five two two ninety seven. You can
- 14:07Speaker 4: text at eight one seven two nine zero three two
- 14:10Speaker 4: nine eight. All right, let's go to Rob in Vegas.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Rob? What is up?
- 14:15Speaker 11: Hey?
- 14:15Speaker 1: Nick? How are you?
- 14:17Speaker 11: I'm good? How are you?
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm good?
- 14:19Speaker 9: I mean?
- 14:19Speaker 1: What was what's the level?
- 14:21Speaker 9: Like?
- 14:21Speaker 1: Are we all right? We was a good way bad win?
- 14:24Speaker 11: What every win is a good win?
- 14:27Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:28Speaker 11: I thought, listen, I didn't like the play calling in
- 14:31Speaker 11: the first half. I thought they were using this game
- 14:33Speaker 11: as a practice game. I didn't like, let's stop taking
- 14:37Speaker 11: Dak Prescott off the field. He's your best player, and yeah,
- 14:41Speaker 11: like tiking him out the wide receiver. I thought that
- 14:44Speaker 11: was dumb. I think it lost like ten yards every
- 14:46Speaker 11: time they tried to do that with a Rico daddle
- 14:50Speaker 11: on the center. DA didn't like that, and I, yeah,
- 14:54Speaker 11: you know, we knew. We talked last week. We knew
- 14:57Speaker 11: Michael Patters was going to go off, which was great.
- 15:00Speaker 11: That energy drinked didn't agree with him, but it worked
- 15:03Speaker 11: because he was flying all over the field.
- 15:05Speaker 4: You know, I asked him in the press conference afterwards,
- 15:07Speaker 4: said I'll never do that again. And I said, wait
- 15:09Speaker 4: a second. He had three sacks or two and a half.
- 15:12Speaker 11: Right another and it Smith did the same thing, right And.
- 15:16Speaker 4: I go, you sure you're not gonna do it again?
- 15:17Speaker 4: And he said maybe half a scoop whatever whatever works.
- 15:22Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought, uh, it was listen the game when
- 15:27Speaker 11: it was when we were up by a touchdown. I
- 15:30Speaker 11: looked at my wife and says, this reminds me of Arizona.
- 15:33Speaker 6: Uh.
- 15:34Speaker 11: And then I said, this drive is important when they
- 15:36Speaker 11: when they cut it to seventh and then they marched
- 15:38Speaker 11: and then it.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Was first and then the pastime.
- 15:41Speaker 11: Land is just phenomenal.
- 15:42Speaker 1: He sure is.
- 15:44Speaker 11: Yeah, guy, you talk, you know how you asked the players,
- 15:48Speaker 11: I mean the fans and like an obscure player. Yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 11: you should do a special on Sam. Pablo Escobar heard
- 15:58Speaker 11: that would be. I was just watching the Buffalo Monday
- 16:04Speaker 11: night and I don't know how it came on with
- 16:07Speaker 11: Tony Romo Torto's picture when Sam hurd Uh basically hit
- 16:11Speaker 11: the ball to get the recovery, and I said, that's
- 16:15Speaker 11: that guy, that's Sam.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Would call him that uh.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well yeah, I mean it's been discussed,
- 16:25Speaker 4: so there's no doubt about it. Where we're working on
- 16:28Speaker 4: our tenth year here of Deep Blue documentaries, and his
- 16:31Speaker 4: name has come up a couple of times. I think
- 16:34Speaker 4: he's he's now out of out of prison, so uh,
- 16:38Speaker 4: you know, I don't know that that, Nick.
- 16:41Speaker 11: I want to say one more thing. I want to
- 16:43Speaker 11: wish you and your family happy than appreciate that.
- 16:46Speaker 4: Thank you Rob saying, do you appreciate that? This is
- 16:51Speaker 4: this is my favorite This is definitely my favorite, uh
- 16:55Speaker 4: time of year, my favorite holiday. I love Thanksgiving. I
- 16:59Speaker 4: love being able to and not that you don't want
- 17:02Speaker 4: to be with your family, but but I love being
- 17:04Speaker 4: at the game on Thanksgiving. It's my favorite game of
- 17:07Speaker 4: the season. I just I just feel like because I
- 17:10Speaker 4: know what a tradition it is for families. You know
- 17:13Speaker 4: that everyone has a have a has a tradition.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I used to as well, you know, I used to.
- 17:17Speaker 4: I can remember Tony dors Set running for touchdowns against
- 17:20Speaker 4: the Saint Louis Cardinals back in like eighty five and
- 17:24Speaker 4: eighty three, and that was with my grandparents. I remember
- 17:27Speaker 4: watching those games, you know, and and and and I
- 17:29Speaker 4: remember we would eat, you know, right right before kickoff
- 17:31Speaker 4: or whatever. And I just love that everyone has a
- 17:34Speaker 4: tradition like that. But you can't do that if you
- 17:36Speaker 4: don't have the game, you know, and somebody has to
- 17:39Speaker 4: work the game. Somebody has to play the game. People
- 17:41Speaker 4: have to work the game. You know, you gotta have
- 17:43Speaker 4: you gotta have security work at the game. Security is
- 17:46Speaker 4: so important at stadiums, so you got to have all
- 17:49Speaker 4: those things. And uh, it's just fun to be a
- 17:52Speaker 4: part of it. So but thank you for the call,
- 17:55Speaker 4: Rob and for saying that. And he had a point.
- 17:58Speaker 4: Oh we were talking about that.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:00Speaker 4: I didn't like that play either with Dak's split out
- 18:02Speaker 4: to the right there, because, uh, to me, like when
- 18:07Speaker 4: you have receivers out there that are actually threats, that
- 18:10Speaker 4: changes a little bit of the defense. And Dak can
- 18:13Speaker 4: run as well. It's not like Dak can't run. So
- 18:15Speaker 4: having both those guys there and knowing, Okay, they're not
- 18:18Speaker 4: gonna throw it's Dak, You're not You're just not gonna
- 18:21Speaker 4: do that. I just think it's a wasted play and
- 18:23Speaker 4: I think it's unnecessary. I think you do have a
- 18:25Speaker 4: quarterback that could run. You have a quarterback that can
- 18:27Speaker 4: throw and so, and you have receivers that are that
- 18:30Speaker 4: are off the chart. So why what who are we fooling?
- 18:34Speaker 4: Wasn't the Panthers? They certainly weren't fooled on that. All right,
- 18:37Speaker 4: let's uh, let's go to Clay in Liberty Hill, Texas.
- 18:40Speaker 4: First time caller, Clay what's up man?
- 18:43Speaker 9: Hey?
- 18:44Speaker 1: First time?
- 18:46Speaker 12: Yes, sir, definitely agree. Wildcat is the worst playing football.
- 18:51Speaker 12: Hate it.
- 18:53Speaker 4: It's that's not the worst play for some teams, But
- 18:56Speaker 4: when you have a quarterback that already sort of does this,
- 19:00Speaker 4: then I don't see the point. If you have a
- 19:02Speaker 4: quarterback that's more of a statue and you want to
- 19:04Speaker 4: move him out there and you know.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Trick it up. I guess because it has worked. It's
- 19:07Speaker 1: not like it hasn't worked.
- 19:09Speaker 4: But I don't think for all teams, and I don't
- 19:12Speaker 4: think it works when you have Dak. I mean Dak's
- 19:15Speaker 4: he sort of is the wildcat. I mean, think about
- 19:17Speaker 4: when he was a Mississippi State. Think about when he's running,
- 19:20Speaker 4: he sort of does that. So why split him out there?
- 19:23Speaker 4: I'd rather have gallop out there?
- 19:24Speaker 9: All right? Yep?
- 19:26Speaker 12: Sorry, A couple of quick things. First of all, my
- 19:31Speaker 12: big what if is I really wanted to see what
- 19:33Speaker 12: would have happened if Romo would have gotten the chance
- 19:37Speaker 12: to get the team back in twenty sixteen. I think
- 19:42Speaker 12: Dak was playing great, but you know, rookie Dak versus
- 19:46Speaker 12: the veteran Romo. I just I really wish we could
- 19:49Speaker 12: have seen what would have happened with that team. I
- 19:51Speaker 12: think in the long run it probably worked out. I
- 19:53Speaker 12: mean great, but well.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You know, it's just a short term.
- 19:56Speaker 12: I really wish.
- 19:58Speaker 4: But you know the problem with that, there was never
- 20:00Speaker 4: a time. It really wasn't It was never a time.
- 20:04Speaker 4: And I always say this, there's one play that changed
- 20:07Speaker 4: all of that, and as a tackle by Shawn Lee.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Shawn Lee made a tackle on Darren's bowls for a
- 20:12Speaker 4: five yard loss. And that play right there is the
- 20:15Speaker 4: reason why Romo never got his job back because of
- 20:17Speaker 4: Shawn Lee. If you want to talk about it later,
- 20:19Speaker 4: we can. But I'm just saying there's a little domino
- 20:22Speaker 4: effect there that happened in that Philadelphia game because Shawn
- 20:25Speaker 4: Lee made a great play. Cowboys ended up winning that
- 20:27Speaker 4: game because Dak finally light bulb went on bow and
- 20:29Speaker 4: they score, They tie the game overtime, they go win
- 20:31Speaker 4: the game. Now he's five and one, he's not taking
- 20:34Speaker 4: him out. They go beat Pittsburgh, he's seven or eight
- 20:36Speaker 4: and one, definitely not coming out, and he never gets
- 20:38Speaker 4: his job back.
- 20:39Speaker 1: But but that's the thing. It just never was a
- 20:41Speaker 1: good time.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Do I think that Tony Romo would have played better
- 20:45Speaker 4: in that playoff game than DAK against the Packers?
- 20:48Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
- 20:49Speaker 4: I do think that I think that Romo would have
- 20:51Speaker 4: played better than him in that first game.
- 20:53Speaker 1: But you can't.
- 20:54Speaker 4: I mean, he's rookie of the year. He can't can't
- 20:56Speaker 4: bench him. I mean just never just never was a
- 20:59Speaker 4: good time to do that. And you know, but but
- 21:02Speaker 4: that's that's what I mean. DAK played well in the
- 21:04Speaker 4: second half of that game, but they did get down early.
- 21:07Speaker 4: But hey, it is, it is what it is. I mean,
- 21:09Speaker 4: that's just sometime. Timing is everything.
- 21:12Speaker 7: Yep.
- 21:13Speaker 12: And then my second thing is, you know, we go
- 21:16Speaker 12: to the games every once in a while, and I
- 21:19Speaker 12: think the team that's in the booth, you know, doing
- 21:22Speaker 12: the announcing and the gets the video board do a
- 21:27Speaker 12: great job on defense of getting the crowd to be loud.
- 21:30Speaker 12: And I'm not just and everything, but on offense, I
- 21:33Speaker 12: feel like every time we're on offense and it's like
- 21:35Speaker 12: a big play, everyone just starts cheering. It's like go
- 21:38Speaker 12: Dak go Cowboys, Like shut up people like this when
- 21:41Speaker 12: you're supposed to be quiet. Derek is why you can't
- 21:45Speaker 12: like put be quiet on the board.
- 21:48Speaker 4: This seems like Derek because I sit next to him,
- 21:50Speaker 4: and one way to piss him off is if the
- 21:54Speaker 4: fans start doing the wave and when they're on offense
- 21:57Speaker 4: or they start cheering. So yes, you know, I know,
- 22:02Speaker 4: it's just it doesn't bother me as much. I hear
- 22:06Speaker 4: what you're saying, and yeah, you'd hate for them to
- 22:08Speaker 4: go nuts and have to get them to quiet down.
- 22:11Speaker 4: But it's just such a big place. There's just noise.
- 22:14Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's just everything, you know. I mean,
- 22:17Speaker 4: I mean the defense. You know, they're calling out plays too.
- 22:21Speaker 4: When it's third and nine and they're at home and
- 22:24Speaker 4: the crowd's going nuts. I mean, they're trying to call
- 22:26Speaker 4: their own defense as well too. So I just think
- 22:28Speaker 4: as a football player, I think they know how to
- 22:31Speaker 4: kind of deal with it. They deal with it on
- 22:33Speaker 4: the road, they deal with it at home. It's just
- 22:36Speaker 4: it's noise. It's kind of like baseball, you know, like
- 22:39Speaker 4: full count in the ninth crowd's going nuts. I mean,
- 22:42Speaker 4: it's like it happens for the hitter, it happens for
- 22:46Speaker 4: the pitcher. I mean, who are we. I just think
- 22:48Speaker 4: it's excitement, and I don't know if it really affects
- 22:51Speaker 4: them that much. But you know, it doesn't bother me
- 22:57Speaker 4: as much, just because I think ninety thousand people, you know,
- 23:01Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to keep two or three people
- 23:04Speaker 4: in the back seat quiet less ninety three ninety three thousand,
- 23:08Speaker 4: you know.
- 23:09Speaker 1: It ain't happened. But that just doesn't bother me as much.
- 23:12Speaker 12: That's okay, all right, Well, thank you sir.
- 23:15Speaker 4: All right, man, have a good one. Thank you for
- 23:17Speaker 4: the call there. All right, let's move to We got
- 23:21Speaker 4: Travis on the line. We do, Travis.
- 23:23Speaker 1: What's up man?
- 23:25Speaker 9: Happy victory on Monday to you.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Definitely too.
- 23:28Speaker 7: I was close on the score. I'm not gonna lie.
- 23:30Speaker 7: I was kind of hoping I was gonna like get
- 23:31Speaker 7: it on the head. But thirty eight thirteen, thirty three ten.
- 23:35Speaker 1: It's there. You were in you were in the neighborhood. Yeah,
- 23:38Speaker 1: I kind of yeah.
- 23:39Speaker 4: I think that's where a lot of people were sort of.
- 23:41Speaker 4: I think I was something like that too, thirty four
- 23:43Speaker 4: to sixteen. Maybe I don't know, so.
- 23:46Speaker 9: What's up A couple of quick things.
- 23:49Speaker 7: Just I was happy for again, I'm the Michigan I'm
- 23:52Speaker 7: the Michigan guy. I'm happy for Luke Schoolmaker. He made
- 23:54Speaker 7: that catch yep, I was. I was glad that Dak
- 23:58Speaker 7: went back to him because honestly, even though a Michigan
- 24:00Speaker 7: guy like he kind of had had a couple of
- 24:03Speaker 7: drops where he wasn't playing as well, and I mean,
- 24:05Speaker 7: you could have justified not given him that throw, but
- 24:07Speaker 7: I was happy that he gave him the chance. And
- 24:09Speaker 7: I think that helps build some chemistry between those two
- 24:12Speaker 7: going forward, some trust, which is big. So that was
- 24:16Speaker 7: great to see. And then I tweeted, I include you
- 24:19Speaker 7: in the tweet, the Bland tweet for Defensive Player of
- 24:22Speaker 7: the Year. As far as Gilmore stat I think he's
- 24:24Speaker 7: eleven tackles behind him and eight passes offended and he
- 24:27Speaker 7: literally has a better season. Not saying that stamps it,
- 24:30Speaker 7: but if he's not in the conversation, then I don't
- 24:32Speaker 7: know what we're doing. And then last thing, last thing is,
- 24:37Speaker 7: and I'll let you go, is I've never been. So
- 24:40Speaker 7: I'm from Michigan, born raised there, so I think he
- 24:43Speaker 7: had a couple of callers on last week, like I'm
- 24:45Speaker 7: not going to go through my whole thing, but like
- 24:47Speaker 7: I've been. You know, anytime I was in that state
- 24:51Speaker 7: growing up, people are like, why are you a Cowboy fan?
- 24:53Speaker 7: Which just made me want to be a Cowboy fan
- 24:55Speaker 7: even more, you know, because I got to watch I'm
- 24:58Speaker 7: thirty seven, so I got to watch them ninety five,
- 25:00Speaker 7: So I'm kind of that sweet spot age wise, right.
- 25:03Speaker 7: But so I've been Atkywosan for a long time. I
- 25:06Speaker 7: live in Texas southern here for like six years now.
- 25:08Speaker 7: Never been to a game yet. But I have a
- 25:10Speaker 7: friend that I served in the military with at the
- 25:12Speaker 7: station here now and his wife bought him two tickets
- 25:15Speaker 7: for the Lions game, and he's a Lions fan that
- 25:18Speaker 7: grew up with one of my best friends. He reached
- 25:21Speaker 7: out and said, do you want to go to the game?
- 25:22Speaker 7: I said, heck yeah, So I said, I'll take you
- 25:23Speaker 7: guys at dinner, we'll go to the game. She's gonna
- 25:26Speaker 7: stay in the hotel, We're going to go to the game.
- 25:27Speaker 7: And that was before I didn't think they'd ever put
- 25:31Speaker 7: Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, and now I
- 25:34Speaker 7: got to text him and say, like, I'm actually going
- 25:36Speaker 7: to be there to see the halftime show. So I mean,
- 25:39Speaker 7: it couldn't be any better. And I just wanted to.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Well, let me let me ask you, Travis, would you
- 25:45Speaker 4: rather not go to the game and watch Jimmy Johnson
- 25:48Speaker 4: get in and they play the Lions, or Ohio State
- 25:52Speaker 4: wins this week? What would you rather pick? You have
- 25:55Speaker 4: to only get one, you get to go to the game,
- 25:57Speaker 4: or Ohio State wins.
- 25:59Speaker 7: That's terrible. That is honestly terrible. I would probably and
- 26:06Speaker 7: I don't know if this is gonna like, because I
- 26:08Speaker 7: know you're a big Arkansas like, I would probably say
- 26:12Speaker 7: since I haven't been one yet, I'll probably go another one. Like, man,
- 26:16Speaker 7: it's tough.
- 26:18Speaker 1: It's such a big game.
- 26:19Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, you know.
- 26:21Speaker 7: I gotta I gotta go with the Michigan being Ohose State,
- 26:24Speaker 7: but I get I get to hope I can see both.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Right, so we'll see. Yeah, hopefully.
- 26:30Speaker 7: I appreciate that tough question though.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, I mean this is all about
- 26:34Speaker 4: you know, does Michigan have the right signs and things
- 26:36Speaker 4: like that.
- 26:37Speaker 9: You know.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you're tired of hearing that.
- 26:41Speaker 7: Cool.
- 26:42Speaker 1: It's all right.
- 26:42Speaker 4: They they just keep winning, so that's all good, all right,
- 26:45Speaker 4: thank you for the call, you too, all right, Travis
- 26:48Speaker 4: san Antonio, big big Michigan fan screwmaker with a touchdown.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Mazzie Smith playing a little bit more and more so,
- 26:55Speaker 4: doing good there, all right, go a little more called
- 26:58Speaker 4: before we go to break. Eric in North Carolina, Eric.
- 27:01Speaker 13: What's up?
- 27:03Speaker 1: You did not go to the game? Right?
- 27:06Speaker 13: I did not know that I had to work. Unfortunately
- 27:12Speaker 13: I didn't left with it.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Many obviously Carolina fans and season ticket holders sold their tickets,
- 27:19Speaker 4: a lot of them to the Cowboy fans, and they
- 27:22Speaker 4: probably at a high high dollar. There was a lot
- 27:24Speaker 4: of Cowboy fans there, for sure.
- 27:26Speaker 13: They did.
- 27:26Speaker 6: They did.
- 27:27Speaker 13: They sold their tickets and carrogated. You know, I don't
- 27:29Speaker 13: got to play. Yeah, I just stayed at home, should
- 27:33Speaker 13: watch the dance at the house with my dog and
- 27:35Speaker 13: my kids. And you did that. I couldn't burn me
- 27:39Speaker 13: with everything, Yes, sir, I just want to say the
- 27:45Speaker 13: Cowboys and wanted to the boat. Really, the kurt has
- 27:49Speaker 13: been lifted. I'm so excited that Jimmy Jason would they'll
- 27:55Speaker 13: be a partner ring honor. All I needed for Darren
- 27:58Speaker 13: was and they moving did the all of fame.
- 28:00Speaker 6: I die happy.
- 28:02Speaker 13: But I just like the fact that Jay did it
- 28:04Speaker 13: the way he did it. He just because he addressed it.
- 28:08Speaker 13: He said, we made him the state then there whatever,
- 28:10Speaker 13: and he's confronting right in his wrong and the curse
- 28:13Speaker 13: has been lifted. Because of that. I feel I was
- 28:15Speaker 13: going to man all right, called me crazy.
- 28:18Speaker 9: Man.
- 28:19Speaker 13: I just think the course is being lifted and we're
- 28:21Speaker 13: all on our way. The way this pool play up,
- 28:23Speaker 13: there was great. Only one thing I take away from
- 28:25Speaker 13: him from as a nigative, and it's the running games.
- 28:28Speaker 13: You know, we got gashed a little bit, kept a
- 28:31Speaker 13: little bit, you know, nothing to be crazy about. But
- 28:34Speaker 13: it's still a concern of mind. It slightly just defending
- 28:36Speaker 13: them run and just keeping that intact because some of
- 28:39Speaker 13: the tends be about to play. It's gonna be very
- 28:41Speaker 13: important to do that. But other than that, man, happy
- 28:43Speaker 13: for Cowboy's victory and happy back dinner. So you Kris
- 28:48Speaker 13: Nick me and got family and you know, I wish
- 28:51Speaker 13: you had a piece of blessings for the college. He's

- 29:20Speaker 2: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he
- 29:23Speaker 2: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

- 31:29Speaker 4: the line Many in North Dakota. What's up Many?
- 31:33Speaker 9: Hey?
- 31:33Speaker 17: Nick, it's uh. It's a pleasure to finally be on
- 31:37Speaker 17: this line first time. One yep, this is my first time,
- 31:41Speaker 17: and I just wanted to say I'm not the biggest
- 31:44Speaker 17: NDSU fan, but I am man.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Well, have a rule, hold on, I have a role though.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Real quick For first time callers, you cannot call and
- 31:51Speaker 4: talk about Hunter liftkey. Okay, that's just the rule. So
- 31:54Speaker 4: were you gonna I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Go ahead,
- 31:59Speaker 4: go ahead, I'll tell.
- 32:00Speaker 17: You what on when Tony Pollard made that touchdown run. Yeah,
- 32:05Speaker 17: I saw Hunter pullback and I saw a Hunter go
- 32:10Speaker 17: out get the linebacker and Tony ran past and the
- 32:14Speaker 17: linebacker just barely could even touch them. And I thought,
- 32:18Speaker 17: I thought that was Hunter lipke. If there wasn't for
- 32:22Speaker 17: him getting that linebacker, I don't think Pollard would have
- 32:25Speaker 17: got the touchdown. And I just wanted to say, good
- 32:28Speaker 17: going Hunter, and I saw that block.
- 32:30Speaker 4: Yeah, he's really he's doing a nice job. I mean
- 32:33Speaker 4: it's it's his first year. They keep, you know, putting
- 32:36Speaker 4: stuff on his plate. He keeps doing well. He's blocking,
- 32:39Speaker 4: he runs it a little bit, they'll throw it to him,
- 32:42Speaker 4: but you know, he's playing on special teams. I mean
- 32:44Speaker 4: he's for a rookie from North Dakota State in his
- 32:47Speaker 4: first season here, he's done a very very good job,
- 32:50Speaker 4: and I think they'll just kind of keep adding things
- 32:52Speaker 4: to him as as as it continues to go on.
- 32:55Speaker 17: Well, I actually actually when actually when that play started
- 33:00Speaker 17: and the way Hunter was lined up and I and
- 33:02Speaker 17: I just kept thinking, I wonder if this is going
- 33:04Speaker 17: to be the time where they're actually going to hand
- 33:06Speaker 17: it off to Hunter and uh, you know, it didn't happen,
- 33:10Speaker 17: but but he but he went and got that linebacker
- 33:13Speaker 17: and I was like, I was like, this is what
- 33:15Speaker 17: I want to see. I just want to say it was.
- 33:19Speaker 17: It was a I like it when the Cowboys are
- 33:22Speaker 17: head fifty to nothing and I don't have to sweat
- 33:25Speaker 17: and uh but I just their their run defense needs
- 33:30Speaker 17: the run defense needs to step it up.
- 33:32Speaker 18: I just I didn't like.
- 33:33Speaker 17: The way they were running through.
- 33:35Speaker 11: Yeah, is the only thing.
- 33:36Speaker 17: The only thing that scares me is Philadelphia. You get
- 33:39Speaker 17: San Francisco, Detroit. I mean, if Carolina can run like that,
- 33:44Speaker 17: I'm just I just hope that they can, uh, you know,
- 33:47Speaker 17: do something. And Ye showed up a little bit better.
- 33:51Speaker 4: Well, I hear you, and and and I understand and
- 33:54Speaker 4: thanks to a call. Money appreciate that first time caller.
- 33:57Speaker 4: We always like that. But you know, it's just different.
- 34:01Speaker 4: It's a different defense when you're going up against you
- 34:04Speaker 4: have different attacks. Okay, I mean Bryce Young he's not
- 34:07Speaker 4: ready right now, He's not ready to hurt you know
- 34:10Speaker 4: NFL teams, he holds the ball a little too long.
- 34:14Speaker 4: He just doesn't have that feel yet, and it also
- 34:17Speaker 4: doesn't have a lot of weapons around him. They ran
- 34:19Speaker 4: the football, but that's really that was their mentality. That's
- 34:24Speaker 4: really all that they can do and think about. This
- 34:27Speaker 4: is a team the Cowboys are throwing the ball around
- 34:30Speaker 4: them the way they've been playing with CD and DAK
- 34:32Speaker 4: and all that, and that was the mindset for Carolina.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Stay on the field on offense, get that defense off
- 34:39Speaker 4: the field. So there was a lot of running, a
- 34:41Speaker 4: lot of blocking for that, and they had some success,
- 34:44Speaker 4: but really when you got down to it, they couldn't
- 34:47Speaker 4: They couldn't run down and they had to throw it
- 34:49Speaker 4: into the end zone that touchdown that made it seventeen
- 34:53Speaker 4: to ten. I remember thinking, yeah, it's a one score game,
- 34:57Speaker 4: but like, they're not doing this again. How many fourth downs?
- 35:01Speaker 4: How many times did they I mean, that was a
- 35:03Speaker 4: seventeen play drive that if it's not for a penalty
- 35:05Speaker 4: on Sam Williams, you know, like on the punt, this
- 35:09Speaker 4: game is probably not even close at all in the
- 35:12Speaker 4: third quarters. So I just thought, yes, they ran the
- 35:16Speaker 4: ball well, but I don't think you can just say, well,
- 35:19Speaker 4: if they run the ball, well, these teams are going
- 35:22Speaker 4: to do it's it's a completely different thing.
- 35:23Speaker 1: They go.
- 35:24Speaker 4: You got other things to worry about, obviously with the
- 35:26Speaker 4: Eagles and forty nine ers and stuff like that. But
- 35:28Speaker 4: I wouldn't just go off of this because Carolina very
- 35:31Speaker 4: very shorthanded. All right, Miami, Florida, that's where we got Anthony.
- 35:36Speaker 4: Anthony's in Miami.
- 35:37Speaker 1: What's up?
- 35:39Speaker 9: What's up? What's up?
- 35:40Speaker 1: Man?
- 35:41Speaker 4: Haven't heard that in a while since I you know what,
- 35:43Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of jerseys, but I did
- 35:45Speaker 4: have a Nick van Exel jersey back in the.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Day, Nick the Quick. I liked him, man, I like
- 35:51Speaker 1: Nick Van Exell. He was he was cool, they called him. Yeah,
- 35:56Speaker 1: I always looked like he was asleep.
- 35:58Speaker 19: Oh yeah, but we'll get you for thirty five.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Yeah. He played for the Mavericks for a little bit.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I like that, Nick the Quick. What's up?
- 36:06Speaker 9: Man?
- 36:06Speaker 19: A most definitely okay, coming on, well, coming on Jerry
- 36:10Speaker 19: and Jimmy, and then a wrestling little scenario for you. Okay,
- 36:15Speaker 19: my favorite four wrestlers of all time. I challenge you,
- 36:18Speaker 19: the fans, in a fatal four way with my favorite
- 36:21Speaker 19: now not the best. My favorite they are Rick Flood,
- 36:24Speaker 19: nature Boy my number one all time, The American Dream,
- 36:28Speaker 19: Dusty Rhodes, Stone Cold and Slash Stunning because you got
- 36:34Speaker 19: a normal he was stunning, Steve Boston with the roads
- 36:36Speaker 19: and the long white hair. If you're a real thing,
- 36:39Speaker 19: and the rock Baby can your smell? I challenge anybody
- 36:43Speaker 19: that you can have cake or you can have all
- 36:45Speaker 19: of them. John Michaels come up against them folk anyway,
- 36:49Speaker 19: Jerry and Jimmy. I'm sitting here, I'm home work tonight.
- 36:52Speaker 19: Told you I got all these crazy schedules, so I'm
- 36:54Speaker 19: watching all this Fox stuff because I don't watch these
- 36:57Speaker 19: TV shows. It's too much hate watching Fox and the
- 37:01Speaker 19: Game and man, it's you know, being a die hard
- 37:04Speaker 19: and I mean capital d hard cowboy and University of
- 37:09Speaker 19: miamiy Hurricane. This is one of the best, and that
- 37:12Speaker 19: night where we be one of the best. I don't
- 37:14Speaker 19: care how long it took. If Jimmy was mad and
- 37:17Speaker 19: Jimmy said, no, screw Eu, Jerry, I don't want it,
- 37:20Speaker 19: then I'd probably be mad. But nobody should be mad.
- 37:23Speaker 19: If they up there hugging, laugh and talk their mind
- 37:25Speaker 19: every time they talk together, every time it's nothing but
- 37:28Speaker 19: good times, whether you believe it or not. They set
- 37:31Speaker 19: it out their mouths, both of them. So I'm so happy.
- 37:34Speaker 19: I don't talk about the game. Man, just enjoyed it.
- 37:36Speaker 19: That wasn't you know? We got like forward thinking, let's
- 37:39Speaker 19: move forward. We got Thursdy, So every Thanksgiving to you
- 37:43Speaker 19: and the fans out there, man, and I'll talk to
- 37:44Speaker 19: you next week.
- 37:45Speaker 17: Bro.
- 37:45Speaker 4: All right, sounds good. A lot of good stuff there
- 37:47Speaker 4: from Anthony. Yeah, it doesn't matter about the past, and
- 37:51Speaker 4: it doesn't matter none of that at this point, you know,
- 37:55Speaker 4: I mean, what it is, what it is, and obviously
- 37:57Speaker 4: there was something. We've all been there. You know, if
- 38:01Speaker 4: you've been around here for a long time as long
- 38:03Speaker 4: as I have, you kind of know that there's some
- 38:06Speaker 4: you know, there's been some some sensitivity there when it
- 38:09Speaker 4: comes to that and who gets the credit and all that.
- 38:12Speaker 4: But you know, why can't it be both? That's why
- 38:15Speaker 4: I look at it. You know, why can't it be both?
- 38:17Speaker 4: If they win right now, if they win the super Bowl,
- 38:20Speaker 4: Jerry'll get credit, Steven will get credit, Will McLay, McCarthy,
- 38:23Speaker 4: they all will get credit, you know, so it never
- 38:26Speaker 4: really goes to who gets it and all that kind
- 38:29Speaker 4: of stuff. So hopefully that's not even a thing anymore.
- 38:33Speaker 4: You know, it really really is. And when I said earlier,
- 38:35Speaker 4: I said this earlier about well, it's not Jimmy's team.
- 38:38Speaker 4: You know, somebody had said, well they won in ninety five,
- 38:40Speaker 4: it was really Jimmy's team, but it wasn't.
- 38:43Speaker 1: It wasn't.
- 38:43Speaker 4: It was a lot of the players that they drafted together,
- 38:47Speaker 4: you know, Jerry and Jimmy. But I don't like to
- 38:50Speaker 4: call it Jimmy's team because it wasn't. Because if it
- 38:54Speaker 4: was Jimmy's team in ninety five, was a Jimmy's team
- 38:57Speaker 4: in ninety four that lost because because no fan says that,
- 39:00Speaker 4: No fan says, well, that was Jimmy's team, it was
- 39:02Speaker 4: Barry's team because they lost. But then in ninety five
- 39:05Speaker 4: when they won, it's Jimmy. Seem like, I get it.
- 39:08Speaker 4: The players, the Bass Foundation was there, but but they
- 39:13Speaker 4: you know, they had to come together in ninety five
- 39:15Speaker 4: and figure out how to win that. So you know, no,
- 39:17Speaker 4: I don't I don't give I don't give Jimmy more
- 39:19Speaker 4: than two Super Bowl rings. I mean, that's what it is.
- 39:21Speaker 4: He got the two and he left, and you know
- 39:23Speaker 4: and then after that that those weren't his teams, even
- 39:26Speaker 4: though a lot of the things that they had built
- 39:27Speaker 4: and they carried over I get.
- 39:28Speaker 9: Them all right.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Darien in Houston, Texas is our next caller.
- 39:32Speaker 6: Darien, Hey, good morning, going man morning.
- 39:35Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 39:37Speaker 19: Good?
- 39:37Speaker 10: Good, good man man? From this past game yesterday, I'm
- 39:41Speaker 10: not really worried about anything from this weekend. You know,
- 39:43Speaker 10: we went over there one on the road and we
- 39:45Speaker 10: got out healthy.
- 39:47Speaker 17: Right.
- 39:47Speaker 10: You take you take that running into the kicker penalty
- 39:50Speaker 10: away from uh Sam Williams. I think you know that
- 39:53Speaker 10: game is a totally different thing, and we're talking about
- 39:55Speaker 10: our run defense a little bit differently. But also all
- 39:58Speaker 10: the Panthers could do was bump all.
- 40:00Speaker 9: I mean, Bryce Young was he was.
- 40:02Speaker 10: Getting attacked all games. But we are in my favorite
- 40:07Speaker 10: slash least favorite stretch of the season, the three games
- 40:10Speaker 10: in twelve days. We get spoiled as fans, we get
- 40:14Speaker 10: to see them play primetime and all of that fun
- 40:16Speaker 10: stuff too. So my first question is do you have
- 40:20Speaker 10: like a favorite quote unquote Thanksgiving stretch If you have one,
- 40:23Speaker 10: Mine is from the twenty sixteen season. It was the
- 40:27Speaker 10: last three games from that living win streak and that
- 40:30Speaker 10: Thursday night game after Thanksgiving is always a weird one.
- 40:33Speaker 10: I feel like that primetime game just kind of just
- 40:37Speaker 10: shit's weird. But we beat Minnesota in Minnesota and that
- 40:41Speaker 10: was fun. And then me and my brother we make
- 40:42Speaker 10: the joke. And I don't know if anyone's called. I'm
- 40:44Speaker 10: sure they have. I haven't been listening to the show,
- 40:46Speaker 10: but talking about the curse finally being listed. I know
- 40:50Speaker 10: we get superstitious as fans, but I kind of wanted
- 40:53Speaker 10: to hear your take on adding Jimmy to the and
- 40:56Speaker 10: if you already answered, I'll go back and listen.
- 40:57Speaker 4: No, I mean, yeah, it's been mentioned a little bit.
- 41:00Speaker 4: I mean I don't agree with it necessarily. I don't
- 41:02Speaker 4: think this is the cur I've never thought of it
- 41:04Speaker 4: that way.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I don't.
- 41:05Speaker 4: I don't think like that, but that this is the
- 41:08Speaker 4: reason why is because Jimmy didn't, you know, wasn't in
- 41:14Speaker 4: the Ring of Honor and all that.
- 41:15Speaker 17: I don't.
- 41:16Speaker 4: I don't necessarily think that way. Again, for the reasons
- 41:18Speaker 4: I just said about how they won super Bowl afterwards,
- 41:21Speaker 4: and so I just don't. Now we're getting into technicalities
- 41:25Speaker 4: and all that, and then it's hard to put a
- 41:27Speaker 4: curse on that. I mean, they haven't won super Bowl
- 41:29Speaker 4: cause they haven't been good enough.
- 41:30Speaker 1: That's it.
- 41:31Speaker 4: They haven't been good enough. They've had talent, they have
- 41:35Speaker 4: had enough talent, they've had, you know, to win. But
- 41:37Speaker 4: they the combination of talent and luck and good fortune
- 41:44Speaker 4: and the ball bounce in the right way and the
- 41:46Speaker 4: right decision making at the right time, and just just
- 41:49Speaker 4: having the mental fortitude to go out and win the
- 41:52Speaker 4: game when the game is on the line. In the playoffs,
- 41:54Speaker 4: they just haven't done that. But I don't think it's
- 41:58Speaker 4: because of there is a to name up there in
- 42:01Speaker 4: the Ring of Honor. I'm sorry, I just don't think
- 42:04Speaker 4: like that. There's people that believe in that kind of stuff.
- 42:06Speaker 4: Maybe I should look at my horoscope more or whatever.
- 42:09Speaker 4: I don't think that the fact that Jimmy Johnson's name
- 42:11Speaker 4: hasn't been in the Ring of Honor is the reason
- 42:13Speaker 4: why they haven't won. If y'all think that way, that's fine.
- 42:16Speaker 8: I don't.
- 42:17Speaker 4: That's okay. Bruce in Houston, Bruce, We'll just we'll stay
- 42:20Speaker 4: in Houston.
- 42:21Speaker 1: What's up, man? We got Darien, Now, we got Bruce.
- 42:23Speaker 17: What's going on now?
- 42:25Speaker 1: Much?
- 42:25Speaker 18: Thanks for taking my call, sure, great show. I think
- 42:31Speaker 18: Ron Bland is a pro bowler right now, even if
- 42:34Speaker 18: he doesn't get another interception. I know, I think you
- 42:36Speaker 18: spoke about that a couple of weeks ago, but man,
- 42:39Speaker 18: just the awareness of that. Just think the play was incredible, great, Yeah,
- 42:45Speaker 18: it really was. It looks looks awesome for him next year.
- 42:48Speaker 18: I don't know if you still want to keep him
- 42:50Speaker 18: at the slot or well he's playing outside now but
- 42:53Speaker 18: moving back to the slot, or or leave him on
- 42:56Speaker 18: the corner. But depends on what they do with their draft.
- 42:59Speaker 9: Kick.
- 42:59Speaker 18: Ye, man, he's playing good, and I understand some of
- 43:03Speaker 18: the fans. I'm a little frustrated with the running the two.
- 43:05Speaker 18: But then a couple of those long gashes. One of them,
- 43:09Speaker 18: I think it was Williams fifty four. I mean almost
- 43:12Speaker 18: had him for a four yard lost and he just
- 43:14Speaker 18: made a great move and then busted it. But and
- 43:18Speaker 18: I think Micah when he plays that middlelinker linebacker spot,
- 43:22Speaker 18: you know he over overran a couple of plays. It's
- 43:26Speaker 18: because there. I mean, them boys want not so bad
- 43:29Speaker 18: that they may blow past the run. And I think
- 43:32Speaker 18: they're gonna be okay. I mean, look, if we get
- 43:35Speaker 18: through these next two games. You know, just statistically we
- 43:40Speaker 18: should beat nine to three when we played Philly, but
- 43:44Speaker 18: Washington got beat bad by New York, so they're gonna
- 43:46Speaker 18: They're always play a cup, it seems like in Seattle's
- 43:50Speaker 18: cuff as well. But if we take care of home business,
- 43:52Speaker 18: we should do that. And if you know that other fan,
- 43:55Speaker 18: we going to the super Bowl. Look, look I want
- 43:57Speaker 18: them to. I've seen them all the Super Bowl and
- 44:00Speaker 18: I hope the curses lifted. But uh, if we just
- 44:04Speaker 18: get make it to the championship game, I'd be happy
- 44:06Speaker 18: with that. And I want to win, don't get me wrong.
- 44:09Speaker 18: But and congratulations to Jimmy and Jerry for setting aside
- 44:13Speaker 18: that stuff. It's gonna make a wonderful game for that
- 44:16Speaker 18: Detroit game. But uh, I think our running game is
- 44:19Speaker 18: gonna go good, and that that was a good test yesterday.
- 44:22Speaker 18: Yeah it didn't look like a blowout, but I don't
- 44:24Speaker 18: think it was ever in question. It got closed. But
- 44:27Speaker 18: you know, you need those games, and these two next games,
- 44:29Speaker 18: in my opinion, are gonna prepare us even better to
- 44:32Speaker 18: play Philadelphia because you know they got that game circle
- 44:35Speaker 18: then it's gonna All I can say is go Cheeves
- 44:37Speaker 18: right tonight, right.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Right, all right, Nick, Yeah, a lot of a lot
- 44:41Speaker 4: of good stuff there. I'm not worried about, you know,
- 44:44Speaker 4: the running game as well, you know the the run defense.
- 44:49Speaker 1: But those guys have to try to figure out a way.
- 44:51Speaker 4: To stay disciplined. I mean, it's just they they just
- 44:55Speaker 4: care so much about the sacks. And the sacks are great,
- 44:58Speaker 4: but I mean even locker room afterwards, MICUs talking about
- 45:00Speaker 4: they took the half sack from them from three to
- 45:03Speaker 4: two point five. And it's gonna gonna look into that
- 45:06Speaker 4: and see if I think it was jay Ron Curse
- 45:08Speaker 4: maybe they got the half sack. I couldn't hear what
- 45:09Speaker 4: he's saying, but but there was somebody else that got
- 45:12Speaker 4: a half sack there. And but you know, how many
- 45:14Speaker 4: sacks do they not? How many running yards do they
- 45:17Speaker 4: give up because they're just trying to get that. So
- 45:19Speaker 4: there's got to be this balance of them staying home
- 45:21Speaker 4: and staying discipline in their gaps and and and stopping
- 45:25Speaker 4: the run. I get it is the hell thing comes
- 45:28Speaker 4: down to sacks. But you know, when you're when you're
- 45:30Speaker 4: trying to get that and a twenty seven yard run
- 45:32Speaker 4: goes right by you.
- 45:33Speaker 1: You know, what good is that?
- 45:35Speaker 4: So anyways, that that's that's that's something that's always been
- 45:38Speaker 4: there though it's that's happened. That was in the eighties
- 45:41Speaker 4: and the nineties. I mean, these guys that would care
- 45:43Speaker 4: more about sacks and not necessarily stay home like they
- 45:46Speaker 4: need to. All right, let's go to California for Orlando.
- 45:51Speaker 4: So we got Orlando in California.
- 45:57Speaker 1: He there, Orlando?
- 45:58Speaker 20: Yeah, sure, happy big every Monday.
- 46:00Speaker 1: How you doing pretty good?
- 46:02Speaker 19: How are you?
- 46:03Speaker 8: I'm just at.

- 46:16Speaker 20: Just wanted to wish everybody at the station and everybody listening, Uh,
- 46:19Speaker 20: happy Thanksgiving. Can't wait to win that game, and I'm
- 46:23Speaker 20: ready for the Eagles game, all right and everything to
- 46:25Speaker 20: fly by.
- 46:26Speaker 4: Well, we gotta first things first, you know, we gotta
- 46:29Speaker 4: get gotta get to gotta get to Washington, right, gotta
- 46:32Speaker 4: get Yeah, as soon as soon as you started getting
- 46:35Speaker 4: the Philly is when you where Washington comes in and
- 46:38Speaker 4: sneaks up on them. You know, you can't can't let
- 46:40Speaker 4: that happen. So, uh, I think I think the Cowboys
- 46:43Speaker 4: learned their lesson. They didn't let Carolina sneak up on them.
- 46:45Speaker 4: I think they'll do the same with Washington.
- 46:47Speaker 6: I agree, I agree.
