  Speaker 1: The Cowboys storyline.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. Here, got about
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: twenty five more minutes to go. Halfway through, We've been
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: talking a little bit about the Thanksgiving Day game coming
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: up against Washington, also memories of how you became a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: fan and things like that. We're trying to we're kind
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: of going a little slow here. We're trying to pick
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: up the pace, trying to get a little bit more callers.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I think we've got one on the line, Dylan in Northport, Florida.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Chris will be ready for that. Dylan, Hey, Hey, Dylan,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Good? Man? Good? I listen.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: I was gonna cry about the Eagles last night. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: really want to, but I'm not going to Hell, let's
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: let it go. I'll follow and just god, they got
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: to lose the fumble at some point. I think the Eagles.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: They definitely they definitely get fumbles. I'm telling you, like,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: it doesn't bother me. None of this bothers me because
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of the game that I saw two weeks ago. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: just I feel like, if you got to go up
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to Philadelphia a game, you just go up there and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: beat them this time. I mean, yeah, you've already you've
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: lost games. They're probably not gonna lose you know that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: many games. They're a good football team. But I don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: think the Cowboys are that far off. So I just that, Yeah,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that would have been nice if Kansas City did that,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: But I don't expect the Cowboys to really catch Philly.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think they can at this point. But I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: don't know if you. Yeah, That's why I look at
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it like, I'm just not not concerned about Phillies. Philly
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is good. But what goes up comes down, you know
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: what I mean. If you lose, you lose five or
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: six fumble and you keep you keep recovering, you're gonna lose.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'll they'll get theirs. It'll it'll happen.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: All averages, right, yeah, I mean, you know, become of
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: drops last night with chiefs and just luck of the
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: balances and some of that stuff. Man, you're absolutely I
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: think they got some groceries up their butts or something.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: They might need to get those out.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: They get the rain and they get I mean, honestly,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I mean Kansas City moved up and down the field
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: on them, you know, and turn pick fumble. I mean
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Kelsey fumbles inside, they throw a pick, you know that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: they drop a touchdown. I mean, they they I mean
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I thought Kansas City out played them, but but they
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they didn't though they didn't make enough plays there. I mean,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: credit Philly. They you can't. You can't luck into nine
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and one. You just can't. I mean, they're they're they're good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: It's one of those seasons for them where they do
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: have a good team and you know they're getting the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: luck at the balance too. But like you said, it
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: all comes back, so you know, I'm hoping it comes
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: back and playoff time and they get knocked out. I'd
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: be nice to see, sure, But yeah, man, I guess
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: how I became a fan. I grew up in upstate,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: New York. And it's not really a firm answer to
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: this one. I think that I have a theory. My
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: dad used to bet a lot right on games when
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I was a kid, and I watched the Cowboys basically
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: every week they're on TV. And he's always betting on
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys, rooting for him because there's money in the line,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and I think, just by osmosis, I think that's how
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I became a fan. And you know, early two thousands
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: is when I really started paying attention. I was old
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: enough at that point, and I didn't really know anything.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I had really no hope for the team. Just you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: there wasn't much going on in those days. And then
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: two thousand and six comes along and Thanksgiving. I think
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: that was my favorite Thanksgiving game. Roma five touchdowns that game,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and it was the first season where I was like, wow,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: like the Cowboys might do something and then we all know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: you know how that ended. But that was a that
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: was a fun year for sure, and a good Thanksgiving
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Day game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Cool, Yeah, that was a good one. Beat the Bucks
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that day. Ramo was he was he was making sure
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: he was getting touchdown passes. I mean, they should have
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: been running the ball at Marion Barber, but he decided
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to throw at to Barry and Barber. But yeah, he
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: was getting for two.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think Mary had two reception touchdowns. Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and then real quick just uh you know, I watched
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: the tape yesterday that game on Sunday, and there was
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a couple of plays that stuck out to me that
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that Bland interception even more impressive watching that tape because
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: he he's got a cross with the guy across the
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: field man cover, which is like one of the hardest
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: things that defensive back can do with the receiver. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: then there's a tight end that that runs shripp the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: team tries to pick him missus, so he's got to
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: go around that tight end, come back underneath and picked
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: up ball off.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So that was nice.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: And then the uh that Tony Polar toss Terrence Steel
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: knocking those two guys out love to his helmet. That
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: was that was really cool. And then you know the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: center there, he's running up the field trying to find
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: somebody to blocks. Steel blocks those two guys, and then
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: the center's like, oh crap, and I gotta find somebody
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: else to go block, so he turns up and that
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: was the cool play to love.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good one. The thing that I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: impressed me the most about the Bland play was the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: pop up, just like to go down, I mean, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: then I guess you do it all in one motion,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: just to go down and then just to pop back
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: up there. I mean, he's got the ball, so he
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: can't really use his arms to brace himself. I mean,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: think about that if you just go to your living
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: room and just kind of fall down and then pop
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: up and try to see what happens.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: It's been kind of reactionary play that Big sat against
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: the Patriots on that interception for a touchdown a couple
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: of years ago, where he's like, got a hurdle, the
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: guy catch the ball at the same time, like just
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I think having that natural ability and agility and dexteria,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: do you guys, is not something you can fix whatthing
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: you have or you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Don't so well, And it's probably the reason why you're
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in an NFL corner and other people aren't. I mean,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that's the thing to be an NFL cornerback and to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: cover the best, you know, athletes in the world. I mean, yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you are a different breed for sure. All Right, good stuff, Dylan,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: thank you for the call. Let's go. They've got a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: couple of text questions here, Chris and Fort Lauderdale. He
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: says his memory of Thanksgiving is the ninety three snow
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: game Miami with leon Let leon Let gaff there by
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the end zone. John and Michigan says his best memory
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is leon let snow fumble thirty years ago. This week,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'm my best memory. I mean I don't I didn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: love that game, but you know, I will say this,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and I've said it before. You know, when you lose
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a tough game like that. The Cowboys were a really
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: good team in ninety three, trying to win back to back.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: They lost that game in Miami. They didn't lose another
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: game that year, you know that, so they were able
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to overcome it. And then you know the best part
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: about that story, And and I say this because we
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: did a documentary on on leon Let about six years ago,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and and I really you know, he talked about that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: game and what he was thinking and all that kind
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of stuff, and you know, just kind of listening to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: his story was amazing and just how it all came
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: full circle. But you know, they were losing by a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: touchdown in the Super Bowl that year. At halftime, down
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: thirteen to six to the Bills, the team they had
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: just beaten about thirty five of the year before. What's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: going on? What's up with this team? Is this? Is
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: this finally gonna happen for Buffalo? The Cowboys just can't
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: do it. Thirty seconds into the third quarter, leon Let
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: bust through the line, hit Thurman Thomas, the ball came
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: loose and James Washington picked it up. We just waiting
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Just like that. If you you went to go get
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: food and you came down to sit in your seat,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it was already tied because of Leon. Let that right
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: there is, to me is the most full circle moment
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, you had to play that everyone will remember.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: But the one that he changed the game to win
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that Super Bowl, That's what's pretty awesome about that. All right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: let's go to the as. Frank in New York our
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: next caller, Frank right, No, no, no, I'm sorry, can't
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in Lost CRUs in New Mexico. Somebody else send me
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a message. Messed me up here, Kent in Lost Cruises,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: New Mexico, Kent you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Good morning. How are you doing, Nick?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Good? How are you doing?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Not too bad. I wish the game last night would
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: have turned out a little bit different. I'm not sure
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: exactly how good a receiver is if he's really really
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: fast and take the top off the defense but can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: catch a ball. But we let's have to take that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and see how the cards fall. Yeah, but I'll tell
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you what if if dron Blanc keeps playing the way
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: he's playing, I think we may have to second guess, Uh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: who is the best defensive player on our team? Yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean he's he is. Actually he's putting in I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think a really strong case for Defensive Player of the Year.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He gets a couple of more picks and another pick six.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That's a new record. I don't think you can ignore
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that on the as a player of the year. There's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: more to a game in sacks.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, are you let's just say it, I mean,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: are you saying he's more valuable than Michael Parsons? I mean,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is that? What is that where we're getting at here
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: or or other players?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a valuable as Michael Parsons.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: M I like, how see, here's the thing. Who cares?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I mean because you got both? Like you do have both?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I mean this is the thing. Like yeah, and they'll
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: probably take votes from each other and they won't win,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you know, defensive player of the Year. I just wrote
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a mailbag answer to that. I don't see defensive player
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of the year when I think of darn Blant. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: just don't nothing against him. I think he's playing awesome.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I just don't that's not I think he's had four
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: interceptions for touchdowns. You know, he's got six interceptions. He's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: playing great guy, and Baltimore has six picks as well,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you know, But I just don't see him as player
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of the year, the difference maker. He's not shutting down
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the side and everyone else go over here. It's not
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like Dion was back then. I don't I don't see
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: them that way. I think the biggest difference maker on
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: their defense is Michael Parsons. That's what I think it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Might own mieh. Mike is incredible with the pressure that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he gets. But I think also, if I'm not mistaken,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: dron also leads the league as the lowest QBR when
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: being thrown to his receiver that he's covering. Yeah, you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: can't ignore that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, you can't ignore that. That's pretty awesome too.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And then that's a stat I don't know if I've
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: seen that stat. So no, no, there's more to it
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: than just the pick six is this isn't a guy
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and one go ahead.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry one more thing before you let you answer that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: When you were asking about our purtiest memories, I honestly
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: don't have any outstanding memories of Thanksgiving Day games other
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: than the Miami game, and I also remember the Super Bowl.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You know, Leon was a tremendous player in the Super Bowl.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: But I grew up in hash, New Mexico when we
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: got our TV out of El Paso, Texas, So I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: grew up with about forty miles north here of Las
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Crusis from living now, and so the one game we
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: could get every week was Dallas and I can remember
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: sitting there five six years old with my dad watching
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That's awesome, and I just I can.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I remember, you know, unfortunately for Jackie Smith.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I remember Jackie Smith dropping that ball. I was ten
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: years old, and you know, every year I had to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: have my number twelve jerseys to go to school when
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: we are back to school shopping and uh yeah, so
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that's why I just I have really really fond memories
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of growing up. And yeah, both my older brothers weren't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to arne that much into football.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: But I was.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And I would sit there and watch football with my dad.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And that's just having lost.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: My dad about ten years ago, that's just a really
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: really good memory.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Well I hate to hear that, but yeah, I say
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that all the time. And thanks for the call uh.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that Kent, you know, and I say it
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a lot. And then and this is an example of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that about you know, you don't always choose being a
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: cowboy fan and trying to chooses you and and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: can relate to you because I have an older brother
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: who he didn't care much about football either. He cared
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: more about, you know, the Star Wars and comics and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: things like that just wasn't my thing. But but you know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I remember sitting there with my dad watching games as well, watching,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you know, and that's why I love the I love
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving Day game. I have memories of that, you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: just being a grandparents house watching watching that game. But
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: then again, I watched all of them, so I mean,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you know, the Thanksgiving to me, you know, it's just
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: one of them because I mean it's it's fun to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: be a part of it. But at the same time,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I can remember the games before and after all that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: stuff too, So I'm just different that way, I guess.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: But all right, let's go to Frank in New York.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Now's Frank still in the line. We got Frank. Now,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: good Frank, how are you doing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: I'm a long time, first time Carla, I feel like
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I practically know you all the times I've been listening
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: to you. Thanksgiving Day is the reason why I'm a
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Cowboys fan. Nineteen seventy four, Uh, the Luke Longley game
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: when Rogers.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Stark had knocked out of the game. That was the
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: first football game that actually took it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: In out time out. Frank Luke Longley was a good
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: in the NBA.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Clint Longley, Clinton Longly, Clinton Longly in my bed.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I think good center. He was, he was a player,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: he was a guy. You know, he won some championship.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Clint Longley.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, Clinton Longly my bed, and he came in
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: and threw two touchdown passes in the last like five
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: minutes of the game. And ever since then, I've been
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: a Cowboys fans.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yep. That was that was a memory. I mean I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't alive, but yeah, I mean that's that's the one
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: everyone talks about, you know, Washington and and you know
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: they played Washington ten times and ten times in Thinkland Thanksgiving.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: So I think the Cowboys are eight and two, and
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it was really close to losing that one. But that
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: was that was a big one for sure.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: And I think all the Cowboy fans have just relaxed
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: after the way Philadelphia played last night. I think will
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: be all right as long as we stayed the ship.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I think will be alright because Kansas City gate in
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: that game yesterday.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it again, it's they're beatable. That's that's
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the thing. Listen, They're they're beatable. They're beatable. You know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. They can they can be beat and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: they're good, but they can be beat and you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: they could have lost that one. But they're living right
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: right now. But that doesn't that doesn't hold up though,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It just it just doesn't. You'll they'll lose a game
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: that they you know, they already have lost one to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the Jets, but they'll they'll lose another game or two
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like that. But you just don't expect, yeah, basually if
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: you don't get a fall in. Yeah, all right, all right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: thanks all Nick.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: To everybody in the Dallas Cowboy family and yours.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Appreciate that. Frank, all right, let's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: go to Tony in Alexandria, Virginia. Nick, am I on
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you are on? What's up? Tony?
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: Hey? How are you?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you?
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: In my emotions a little bit. Why, you know, I
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: kind of I kind of you know, just like I
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: guess with all of Cowboy nation, which that game last
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: night would have turned out a little different. But you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: it is what it is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Past that I thought you were going to tell me
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: a sad story about your family or something like that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no no. You know, I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: trying to get you know, the Cowboys to get the
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: easiest path to the super Bowl, and you know, or
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: you know, well, let me not get ahead of myself
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: to the playoffs. And of course, you know that starts
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: with winning the division. And you know, if Philly would
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: have took a loss last night, that would have you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: got us a little bit closer to that, and you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: but uh, it is what it is. But one thing
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: I wanted to touch on too, is I'm really glad
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: that Jerry Jones did uh finally give the nod to
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: get Jimmy into the Ring of Honor. You know, It's
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: funny because I was sitting there watching, uh kind of
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: messing around with my phone and uh I clicked on
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: the site and it said Jimmy Johnson in the Ring.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: I'm like, what I was like yes, and so then
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: I had to turn the channel and see what was
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: going on with that. But I'm really glad that that happened.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: It's crazy because when I did find out, like a
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: wave of emotion like came over me, I don't know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: out of nowhere, like you know, I was just really
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: really happy that that that is now going to go
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: down and and getting back getting back to the game
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: last night. It's just like kind of like I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: you said yesterday, you know, it's so hard to win
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: a Super Bowl because you got to have so many
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: things going right for you, you know, in the course
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: of the season, and you kind of touched on it yesterday,
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: you know, as uh, you have you have to have
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: the talent number one, but you have to have some luck.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: You have to avoid major injuries, you have to have
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: the ball bounce your way, which, like one caller said earlier,
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Philly is to me, in my opinion, they're having a
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: lot of balls.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Bounced their way this year.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, with whether it be a call or you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: getting fumbled back or whatever. And I remember one year,
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: several years ago, we didn't actually go that far, but
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: we did. I was thinking to myself, I was like, man,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: we actually have gotten a lot of calls go away
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: this year, and unfortunately we didn't really go anywhere that year.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: I think we lost in you know, the divisional round
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: yet again. But I was just thinking that. But yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: you just you know, it's just so hard to win
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: a Super and you have to have so many things
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: go right, and again, I just wish that game would
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: have turned out different. But like you said, we'll just
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: have to find another way. And if it means going
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: to one of those places, either Philly or San Francisco
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: and winning on the road, we're just going to have
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: to do that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Detroit, honestly, Yeah, or Detroit, that might be the team
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to go to go.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: So yeah, thanks for the and uh, happy Thanksgiving to
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: everybody there in the building and also all Cowboy nation
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: and be safe and go Cowboys.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate the call, Tony. Let's stay in Virginia, Ashland, Virginia.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Is Kevin, Kevin in Ashland, Virginia, Kevin there, man, how
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: you doing doing good?
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: I'm doing good? Uh living. I was listening yesterday and
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: I was hearing that one of your favorite games is
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: a Thanksgiving game, and I agree with you on that one.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Of my favorite games of the year, and it is
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: definitely a tradition for us to watch the Cowboys game. Definitely,
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: and yeah, awesome, awesome. We had a great win this
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: past week. It was a little nervous her up between,
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: I know, in the third quarter, but we got it
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: done at the end. Litten prediction for for Thanksgiving, I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: going thirty five. It's gonna be it's gonna be a
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: little crazy. I think it's gonna be thirty five twenty one.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: We'll come out of the window.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: There, Okay, Yeah, I mean that's you know, and that's
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: good too because the other team always seems to play
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a little bit better too, you know. They they come
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: into this and this's a short week for them, even
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: shorter because they gotta travel, and you know it, it'll
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: be a game Washington, will they they're like again, they're embarrassed,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you know, they lost to the Giants. They thought their
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: season is better than this. They'll come out and play
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: play well.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: Definitely, just history wise, I know, Washington's always one of
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: those teams that give us a hard time sometimes, so yeah,
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: I know how.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It is definitely, definitely, yeah, it'll it'll be it'll be
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a tough game for a little bit.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm really much to say. But happy Thanksgiving man,
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: to have a good one.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. Appreciate that it was Kevin
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and in Ashland, Virginia. Let's keep it moving here. Let's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: go to Eric. He's in Colleen, Texas. Hey Nick, Hey man,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: how are you doing.
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: I'm doing well. How are you?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I'm good?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: Two things I've been listening the last couple of weeks.
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: I'm a teacher for on Thanksgiving break, so I can't
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: usually call in all right, so I'm glad I got through.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: But favorite wrestler attitude era, I'm thirty six, so I
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: got to go with the Rock and Stone cold. Okay,
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: favorite Cowboys players again, thirty six, it's got to be
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: Romo and Witten together, okay. But a concern for me
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: on that I've seen all this stuff about Kirk Cousins
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: being an awesome teammate and helping out Dabbs and everything.
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: But it heard over the years that Ramo and Went
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: and weren't necessarily the best locker room guys for the
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: young talent coming up. Can you talk about that at all?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: No? I mean it's you know, and and a lot
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of that is perception too. You know, Winton's thing was,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: wait before I keep get on this rant, is there
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: any other call or any other question or comment or anything.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: Hey man, I'm hoping for good Turkey in a good
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: game on Thursday.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: Love your show, Love all you guys, and have a
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: blessed thanks Kevin Brother.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: That's it, all right, appreciate that giving him a.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: First time color. So I need a second thing to Chris.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got he got one. And you know, I
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: think Chris missed one earlier. Who was that that called?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It was it Frank that called? And I was trying
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to give it to him, but I think he was
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: on the line listen getting them. You know, Chris is
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: handling like eighteen different things going on today. So all right,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: good stuff. Always love the first time caller. Appreciate that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Oh and Witten as teammates, you know, Witten was it
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: was a little different with him. I mean, he he
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: just he was. He kind of reminds me a little
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: bit of Michael Jordan. And I know I'm going there,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: but I'm just saying to the to the extent of
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he was a really great player, but sometimes he needed
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: other things to kind of get him motivated. And even
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: if he was, he kind of made it up a
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, and I'm not saying he's making
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: up reports here, We've seen plenty of that. What I'm
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: saying is is that like, you know, like, oh, you
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: don't think I could do this, you know, like trying
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to find some disrespect. And so they would draft Martellus
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Ben at second round. They drafted Anthony Fassano's second round,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and he was kind of like, all right, second round, huh,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you know, like did I not go to the Pro Bowl?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Did I? I'll pro you know, you want another? And
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: so he he helped them, but he also was like
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not handing you the nice you could stab me
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: with it, you know what I mean, Like, I'm gonna
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: help you a little bit, but you got to pick
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: it up yourself. You know. I'm not trying to get
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you to take my job. This is my spot. So
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: he kind of took things competitive from that standpoint. I'm
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: not saying he didn't help these younger guys, but I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: think he helped him more with the way he the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: way he carried himself, the way he got himself prepared,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you know, he's not It wasn't the greatest athlete in
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the world. He's a good athlete, of course, but I'm
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: just saying he wasn't this dynamic, runaway from people, you know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: type of player. But he was really, really good, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I think people looked at him that he was a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: leader from that perspective. Romo, you know, Romo, I thought,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I think some of it, some of these stories you
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: don't always hear some of these stories. Romo Romo was
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: was a good leader in his own way as well.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: But I think from Dak's standpoint, everyone remembers with Dak here.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Dak credits Kellen Moore and Mark Sanchez for
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: kind of helping him a little bit more than Romo did.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: But you got to remember too, Romo got hurt. Romo
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: was you know, when you get hurt and you come in,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you're rehabbing, you're on a different schedule. So when when Tony,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: when Dak's doing all this, you know, in the rookie
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: year and all that, a lot of it, Romo wasn't.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Wasn't there for I'm not giving Romo a pass. There's
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: there's some some to that. I don't know if he
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: was you know, he didn't love it. He didn't hang
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: out with some of the young guys. He didn't hang
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: out in the locker room like like Dak does. But
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: then again, there's only one Dak, So you know, it's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: probably not fair to compare Romo to Dak from a
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: leadership standpoint, because it sounds like when a lot of
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: these players come in from other places and they've been
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: with other quarterbacks, Dak doesn't. I mean, they they don't
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: compare to Dak either. So I'm probably not gonna be
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not the right person for this because I love
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Romo and Witting. Both those guys are great, and I'm
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: not gonna sit here and say they were bad teammates.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, they also were respectful for their own
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: career that they were. They were trying to, you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: stay in the business as long as possible, So there's
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: kind of a fine line there. There is another two
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: other callers. Sorry I've been long winded here, got to
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: get going here. Shelton in camp had a first time caller, Shelton, what's.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: Up, Hick?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: How are you good? Good? What do you got my question?
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, So I've been a season ticket holder since two
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: thousand and seven, and I go there quite a few
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: times a year. But anyway, what I can't understand watch
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: is that there is no doubt that they got powdered
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: and they got Dowdy and stuff like that. And McCarthy
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: is a huge fan of having a fullback. Why don't
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: they use Lenky a lot more? So? You know, I
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: think they're relying too much on Dak's arm, which is great.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: We all love to see that light it up. But
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: a lot of times when you played, like last year
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: in San Francisco and that they couldn't run the ball
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: effectually enough to open up the backs game, and they
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: got that big full back there and like to use
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: his e call the time. Why aren't they using him more?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: Even when they've been ahead by forty points? Why don't
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: they put him in there to get some reps in
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: there and give Dowdy and powered, which are both good
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: chains of backs. But they got a big full back
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: in there. I'm surprised I don't use them.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you so much for the call, Shelton.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to get moving on. I'm going to
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: answer that, thank you for the call. I think they
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: are using him got to remember it. He did not
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: play a lot of fullback in college. He's big, he's
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: got the fullback size and body, but that's not really
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: what he's done. I mean, he's not here because he
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: was playing fullback. He was getting the ball. He was
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a running back at North Dakota State. He wasn't a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: running back at Ohio State. He was a running back
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: at North Dakota State. Let's be honest about that. And
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: he's still trying to transition into this. I think he's
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: doing some fullback things. He's doing some running back, he's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: playing special teams. Again, let's not push this along here.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: He's an undrafted free agent from North Dakota State. It's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: not like teams don't value I mean, don't don't look
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: at this college. I mean I saw Carson Wentz got
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: drafted very very high from North Dakota State. Watson, the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: receiver from Green Bay drafted high. This guy was undrafted. Okay,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: so he's there's some flaws to his game that he's
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: still trying to get through. Let's don't push this along.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I think if they thought he was coming in and
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: it could be a dynamic from the start, he would
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: be I think he'll get there. I got to be
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: quick here. Let's go to Mark and Maryland as our
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: last caller. Mark, what's up? Man?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Hey? Nick? How you doing?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you good?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Great show? I watched all the shows and I really
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: love what you guys are doing. Last favorite wrestlers hay
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Stack Calhoun along, that's way.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Back Haystacks Calhoun okay.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: And favorite cowboy I got two Tony Dorset and the
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Manster Randy White.
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: Ye.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: So last week you had a call. If we mentioned
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: some dark uniforms, and Michael Parson mentioned the same thing
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: last year he would like to see some dark uniform
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: for the cowboy.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Then they might do it. Then if Mike ha says
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: that they might, I mean Mike, he seems like he's
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: got that gun pulled over there, so maybe you'll see it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: So I created some and I would love to shame
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: him as possible. Anyway, I think that the Cowboys in
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: the red zone, if they would give Lips a chance
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: in the rezone, I think that would make the offense
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: dynamic because then you'll have the key on him as
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: well as Tony Pollott or whoever else is the able
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: running back in the backfield. And that's all I want
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to say. Keep doing a good job on the show.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: All I appreciate that two straight callers about Hunter lip
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Key to two straight mispronunciations of his name. Uh, we
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: got we gotta learn his name first before he could
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: be like a dynamic goal line back. I again, I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: said it before. I mean I think that they they
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: are still working on things with him. Uh he might.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: He might be that guy. He might be a guy
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: that can you know, get into the end zone and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: do that there. I you know, why not tried it earlier?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I mean shorty yards third and one fourth and one
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: at midfield, give the give him the ball, give him
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: a kind of a different wrinkle. They're probably working on
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: something there. Thinking he's a fullback. There might be a quick,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a quick you know run there with him up the middle.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I bet you that that that will happen. I don't
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: know if he'll be the featured back, but he could,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean sometimes these things develop over time
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like that. So you know, you guys aren't wrong for
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: thinking that it might be something that they're working on.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: But again, don't forget he's an undrafted rookie and he's
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: still you know he's got things to figure out. He's
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: not just gonna come in here and just be Mike Alstott.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just not gonna happen like that. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: it'd be that cooler if he was, because every time
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: he got the ball, we'd be like, all right, awesome.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: A good way to finish the show. Thank you to
• 27:28
