  Speaker 4: let's uh, let's get it started. Let's get going here.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: We'll be here for an hour or so. We'll see
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: how the calls go, but we'll start it off like
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: we always tend to do. Uh, probably more than ever.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: We started off with Joe and Stanford, Texas.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Joe, what's up, hey, brother?
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you?
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: I'm doing great, man.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: I hope your dad's doing better well, and we're thinking
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Yes, sir, So.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: There's a few things we could go with for this subject.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: I've been trying to stay away from it, but he
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: just keeps making me talk about it. And it's gonna
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: be about Micah. So this week again he's been on
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: interviews or something, this time talking about his interaction with
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Jerry Jones. He calls him Jau because they're cool like that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, because we're cool like that, right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well absolutely, but I think there might be a
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: little different in relationship. I know he's a young guy,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: and I know I don't, as an old guy, get
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: all of this. I just don't understand why somebody hasn't
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: pulled him aside and talked to him about all this.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: You know, there's so many things that are revealed about
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Micah when when it comes on the social media stuff
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and all the interviews he does, I gotta say, just
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: as a bystander, somebody who pays attention, though he comes
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: off as self centered, he gets to cool and a
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: bad teammate.
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: He criticizes uh the talent on the team all the time.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: And you know, I just I just wish I know
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I've said this before. I wish he would just shut up,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: get get off of social media. I'm every time he
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: does a stupid post on X, I'm saying, hey, Michael,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: why don't you just get.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Off of this?
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Because he just comes off as so childish and and man,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I gotta say, I'm really disappointed, and I worry about,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: you know, just his quality as a human. And I
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: hate to say that, but you know it's just the
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: way I see it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Joe, appreciate that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You know, we gotta be I gotta be careful on
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: this this topic because I'll say this, it's not the
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: first time I've heard any of this from fans, from
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: people inside the building. Other podcasts have talked about this
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff. Uh, I see those things that you see,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and you know he I mean, he had character concerns
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: going into the draft. I mean they went back and
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: looked at things that were happening at Penn State, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: it was a lot of the stuff was, you.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Know, just immaturity and now.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: And now you know, you're looking at it and and
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: it's it's a it's a tough one because, yeah, you
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: see the things that he's putting out on on Twitter
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: or any of the social media stuff. You also see
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: the plays that he that he makes. That's what makes
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: it tough because he is a great player. He's probably
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the best football player you have on the team. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and if you say, well that shouldn't matter, it does.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: This isn't junior high or high school. It matters. These
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: guys they get treated differently. You know, Michael Irvin had
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: a very, very very long leash because the things that
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: you know that he just how good a player he
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: was and how much he meant to the team. So
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I get I get all that stuff and I hear
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: it and see it, and you know, you scratch your head,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: you shake your head sometimes and go, I don't know what.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You're getting at.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: But he talks so much that there are some things
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: he's saying now, I mean, I've saw something where he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: defending Dak and he's saying other than Mahomes, I mean
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: that who's been better than Dak? And you know, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: he says some things, you know, stick with me to
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the fan base, talking, you know, to the fans about
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna be here and I don't want
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: to go anywhere else. I mean, so he just says
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: so many things that to me, it's just kind of
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: like that's it, you know, I just kind of shake
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: my head. I mean, it's just just is what it is.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Just just rush the passer on third and seven. Just
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: go make the play, you know, and at this point,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: get better, keep getting better as as a player, figure
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: out a way to get better.
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: The challenge for Michael Parsons at this point should be,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you know, he should have different goals. Yeah, he wants
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: to win certain awards and all that, and I mean,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: you know, he wanted to win an MVP of that
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: basketball game. He made that very clear. I don't think
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: he ever came out of the game. I think he
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: took every shot and he got MVP.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: But I think the goal for him should be make
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: plays in December and January, you know, don't have a
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: trail off in your production. Make plays then throughout the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: year and whatever that takes to get his body right
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: to do that, that should be a goal for him.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, the social media stuff's getting to
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the point where and one thing you said, Joe, you said,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I wish somebody would pull him aside.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: How do you know they haven't done that?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: And how do you know that that would work or
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: not work, because from what I've kind of heard is
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: people that have pulled him aside to talk about anything,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: it doesn't always go well. So but then again, you
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: know that's all perspective of who's doing it. I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: you know, he may not listen to a lot of people,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and depends on who it is. So all right, let's
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: go to Vince in North Carolina.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? First time?
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: It's fun man, you're doing well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, h is first call.
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, this is the first time call him in, Yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: what's up.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Cool?
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: Well, I wanted to talk about I wanted to get
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: your thoughts on the offensive line and our draft strategy
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: coming up. I was thinking about it the other day.
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: I've seen a lot lately. I've seen a lot of
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: discourses around Cowboys Nation just talking about some people seem
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: to be on this train of wanting to move on
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: from Tyron Smith and take a tackle earlier on or
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: I assume it's take a tackle to the draft. That's
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: what I see most of the time. I've seen some
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: people spitball and throw out sign another tackle. That doesn't
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: make a ton of sense to me. My perspective on
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: the whole matter is I feel like center is actually
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: a little bit of a bigger need. I'd like to
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: shore up the middle, especially after you have Tyron coming
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: off of one of his healthiest seasons in the last
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: couple of years, and a second team All Pro season
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: at that, not for anything while he was out there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: And don't get me wrong, like his health makes me
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: nervous too, just like it makes the rest of us nervous.
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: You don't love the idea that he could go down
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: at any time, especially in like an important time in
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: the season, but I think they seem to have figured
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: out a strategy with just not really practicing him all
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: that often. During the season, he seemed to be healthier.
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: He was certainly playing like he was healthier. And I
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: don't know. It's not that I have anything against Tyler
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: Biattish per se. I don't think he's a bad center
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: by any means. I think he's a starring caliber guy
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: in the league. But he just doesn't have that strength
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: that I think i'd like. I think we're missing that
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: strength that we had with Frederick. And I know I
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: sound just as nostalgic because everybody else talking about Travis Frederick,
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: but I think, well, I think there's something to it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: I think we need a guy who was athletic but
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: strong in the middle too, and I would I think
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: i'd rather look whether in free agency of the draft.
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: I would prefer the draft just for costs, especially with
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: these contracts coming up, but I think i'd rather sure
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: up the middle of that offensive line and give Tyron
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: another go.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: All Right, good, good call. I agree with a lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: of things you're saying. Thank you for the call, Evince,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: appreciate that I love here. In the first time callers.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: He's going to be sandwiched right in between two of
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the of the ones that have called the most. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: it's always great. It's always great to have that balance,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: appreciate the call. I like a lot of things you said.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: I agree with that too. I'm always about shoring up
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: the center position. And I'm also at the point where
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: you know, I understand the Tyron Smith you know, makes
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: everyone nervous type thing. But the way the contract was
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: written last year, it was basically, if he plays, he
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: gets paid, and until it's different with Tyron Smith, because
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: it hasn't been changed in the last even seven eight years.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: When he plays he really good, that has not changed.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: It hasn't changed. When he plays, he's really good, does
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: he give up a sack or two? Yeah, because there
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: was a period where he never did. You know, he
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: was All Pro and looked like he was going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: be a Hall of Famer, and I think he will
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: be and all that. But even this last year he
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: played thirteen games I believe maybe fourteen, think he only
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: missed three, and he was really good, second team All Pro.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And I don't think this is just because of his name.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I really don't. I mean, I mean, he's kind of
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: past that. He's missed it a few times. He played
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: really well, and so I'm okay doing that again if
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: that's what he wants to do, if he wants to
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: continue to play and play, and that kind of holds
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the carrot out there and that's something to play for.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: And you know, here's a million dollars. That's why it
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: was written last year. Maybe something like that again, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: because you're getting it's worth it when he plays. It'd
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: be one thing if it's just if he's out there,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: but he hasn't shown that yet. He really hasn't shown
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the drop off. He's shown a drop off in consistency
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: of playing, but non consistency of his play.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And so I'm fine with that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: And I think the Tyler Smith situation is good because
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: he can maybe play both spots, but and then you
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: figure out what you're going to get in tackle or guard.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm with you on center.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to upgrade on center, or at
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: least they're going to go a different route.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see if it's an upgrade, they'll attempt it for that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: But that's not nostalgic to talk about Travis Frederick because
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Until you have a player at that level, you're always
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: going to talk about that. We talked about safeties for
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: twenty five years, until they get another Darren Woodson, in
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: my opinion, that they never have. You know, you wanted
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: to get the next Apeman until you finally saw a
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: quarterback like maybe Romo was playing. Not comparing him to aightman,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: but I'm saying he was a you know, like a
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: top tier quarterback. So until you get that, until they
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: get that that at center, you're always going to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: looking to see if you can get that type of player.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go. Brian in Kansas City.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, sir, Hey Brian, how are you.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good? Man, Listen, you can't take a day
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: off unless you give me your heads up.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I apologize.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: You're doing okay, but.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Good, fine, doing fine. Thank you for.
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: Excellent excellent man. Hey, And I meant to say something
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: like two calls ago and I forgot. You know, you
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: being the biggest Rocky fan in all of the Dallas
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: Cowboys dot com, you had to be sadden when you
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: saw Carl Weather's past.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean and and you know
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: it's funny, I like years ago years ago, I wish
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: they did a story on just on Creed, you know that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, like when I was younger, I wish there
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: was one just on him, you know.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: And then what twenty years later was so they actually did,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: you know, and it's been and it's been really great too.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: But yeah, oh yeah, that was that was definitely sad.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I thought it was weird. ESPN did a post that
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: said Rocky slash Happy Gilmour star Carl Weathers dies.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, it seems was I get it happy?
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but yeah, not in the same role.
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: Not prominence.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, we're gonna we're gonna throw on Action Jackson or
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: some other movies you've been in.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's a pare.
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: Would have thought Predator because he was played a fairly
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: decent sized role in that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Right, But I mean he was, I mean he was.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: He was the man, right, I mean, he's one of
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: those guys where you know, you he starts off as
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the bad guy whatever and then he turns into you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: a big storyline.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely he was, and then being the being the
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: the coach and the third one right right. That was
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: I thought my dad got to meet him one time.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: I wasn't around. My dad was in business somewhere. Got
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: to meet him once and they all had He had
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: a group of wasn't like. He had lunch with him
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: privately in a big, very big group setting. But he
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: said Carl Weathers made the chef come out and tell
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: him every ingredient that was going into his food.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: I was like, Wow, that's something. I guess if your
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: Carl Weather's.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So, I guess, all right, what's I wanted.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: To talk about the changes? You know, just get your opinion.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: I know of the defensive people that have come on board,
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: and seeing is Greg Gallis is back in the fold,
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: I'd like if you got one, I'd love to hear
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: Greg Yallas story man.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And I hang, all right, appreciate it. Yep.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: As you say that about changes, all I can think
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: of is, you know, you can't change who you really are.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's what That's a line that that that
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Allo says it rocky for so that you start talking
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: about changes, that's what made me think that a lot
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: of changes on defense, no doubt about it. And uh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: you know obviously zimmer is the is the defensive coordinator,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: and I guess it's it's Paul Gumpter. Sorry, I haven't
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: figured out all my my new guys yet. He's the
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: I think the he'll be the running game coordinator. Uh
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Jeff SAGONI I think is the defensive line coach. We
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: don't have enough time in the show to talk about
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: every place he's been, and I think he played seventeen
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: years in the league as a player, a lot of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: different stops, and then as a coach, he's been around
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: eight or nine years in some different spots too, so
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: very well traveled for sure. And then Greg Ellis will
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: be the assistant d line coach. And you know, he's
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: had a couple of stops as a head coach in
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: a very small colleges in Texas, in a I level,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: He's been the head coach on a couple of different
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: spots there. So you know, I think I think he
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: replaced like the Sharif Floyd type of role Greg Ellis.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I'll say this about Greg Ellis. I think, you know,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: he's one of those few players that he doesn't get
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: compared to his position, and that's what's sad. He's a
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: defensive end, played a little bit of linebacker, but he
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: was a defensive end and for his entire career, he
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: got compared to a Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: and he's never gonna win that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You know, one's gonna win that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: And so as great as Greg Ellis was, and he
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: was a really I don't know, but it was. He
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: was great for a few years, very very good player,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: but he was never her Andy Moss. And who was,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: you know other than maybe Jerry Rice. But I mean, uh,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: that's how and that's the thing. He didn't They didn't
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: draft Randy Moss. They drafted Greg Ellis, and then you know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: the rest is history. And so that's that's all.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: I have some stories I thought, you know, it was
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: one of those things where he didn't trust, uh moving
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: to outside linebacker.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: With you know, in that kind of defense there with
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: with Parcels in a three four and he ends up
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: tearing his achilles and he comes back and wins Comeback
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Player of the Year. So he was a really good player,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: probably underrated because like I said, he's he's not doing
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Randy Moss type things because he's just not going that's
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: not gonna happen. But I thought he was a really
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: good player, and I think he'll be he'll be a
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: good you know. I mean, he's done a lot of
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: things outside out of football too. He's been in the
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: movies business. He's directed several movies, I think at least
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: five at this point.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: So he's he's you know, he's done some good things there.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, football still in his blood and you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: obviously Zimmer. He was there with Zimmer, So uh, you know,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I think he'll he'll be really good. I think he'll
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: he'll he'll know how to relate to the players.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And I think that'll be a good one.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: All Right, I got a story, I got a text
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: line question here. This is Dan and Philly. He says,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: is it time to start worrying about Micah and his motormouth?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: It's getting there for me and his past cowboy ironically
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: is Terrell Owens. I don't know if you meant to
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: do that, but if you did, I see what you
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: did there. So anyways, I think good stuff there on.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, good question about Micah. We've addressed it earlier.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can worry if you want. I don't.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I think it'll start to be a problem, if it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: not already, it'll start to be a problem. If he
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: continues to throw these shots at the players and at
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: his teammates. You know, you want to talk about other
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: other guys, it's fine. I just I just wish he
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: would kind of think about the whole thing.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: A little bit more.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Don't live in the moment so much. Don't talk about
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Brock Purdy not playing well when he was the quarterback
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: on the team that beats you forty two to ten.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: That's the kind of stuff that I'm like, don't do that,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean because people, I mean, every everything
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: has receipts, right, Like, everybody has that kind of stuff.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Everyone knows different things. So if you said something back then,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: and just I just wish he would think about that
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff a little bit more, and and you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and not and then also you know, when you're talking
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: about other players, that's one thing, because you know, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: then but then you guys have to you know, do
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: it on the field. But then when it starts getting
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: into your own teammates, that's.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Where I think it could be problematic.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: And so that's where if that continues to happen, then
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I think it will be an issue. But hopefully, hopefully
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: we'll never get that bad all right, let's go to Oh.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: In his past cowboy t Oh, I mean t O.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I mean t O s t O.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I mean there's stories about him all all over the place,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: and in his three or four years here.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I'll have a t O story. I have a t
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: O story.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: We in Carolina, and all seems like all weird things
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: kind of happened in Carolina, even even this year. But
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Carolina one year, one year with us at the hotel
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: we were staying at had a basketball court and upstairs
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: indoor court, and I went up there. We were gonna
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: go play with up there with with another guy, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: there's only one other guy shooting. It was t O
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: night game against Carolina. This is probably one or two o'clock. Uh,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: he's shooting. We're shooting the.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Ball, you know, not playing any game or anything like that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to stay away from him, like, oh my god,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: he's gonna turn his ankle on, you know, or something.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: But he was cool, you know, we talked a little bit.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: She shot the ball, no big deal. So I thought
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: that that was kind of cool. And then but then
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: later that night he did get hurt. He that was
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: it was two thousand and seven. It was the year
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: he got hurt with his I guess his I guess
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: he broke his leg or his I forgot the injury.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: But obviously we all know he got hurt in the
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: seven playoffs, and he really wasn't himself. But it was
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: in that Carolina game where he got hurt, So hopefully
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: it had nothing to do shooting baskets or anything before that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: And if so, I wasn't. I wasn't there. I was
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: nowhere near him, but I thought that was kind of cool.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: So yeah, shot shot baskets with t O. Pretty good,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: pretty good shooter too. He's played in that that game
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: that Mica has played in, that the celebrity NBA Celebrity game.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I think he's played in there before. But all those
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: guys are great athletes, think they're natural.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to uh Rob in Vegas. Hey Nick,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Hey Rob, how are you doing?
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: I'm good?
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: How are you good?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You're not allowed to talk about Micah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: Now you know I'm.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Gonna say just real quick, all right, you're right now,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: but I don't. I'll say one thing. He's not the
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: best player on the team anymore. It's ceedee lamb cudee
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: lamb to me. He's the best player. He's he's defended
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Micah hasn't gotten better. Uh, he's stayed the same. And
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: we talked about it. He's falling off in December. But
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: let's face said, Jerry, you know, he he's always allowed
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of leeway for superstars and and that's just
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the way it is. And you know, I don't worry now.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I worry if they drop thirty million a year on him,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: then I worry. So hopefully he's got a year this year.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: This year you'll see with a new coach who's not
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: his uncle, now, we'll see, you know, if they're going
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to go that route. But listen, as a fan, I
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: want him to be great. But I want to talk
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: about Dak. You know, I keep seeing he's going to
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: reset the market sixty million dollars a year, and I
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: can't see it. I can't see that. I can't see
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Jerry doing that. I look at it and there's only
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: even two quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Breakfast that won the
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: first Super Bowl after thirty and and Dek is that
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: in that class. And I just can't see him.
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: Drop in sixty million a year. I'm thinking fifty two,
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: fifty three, and Lamar Jackson range. And I think if
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: he really pushes the sixty million dollars a year thing,
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: I think I think he plays it out and I'd
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: be okay with it. You know, he's tied to Mike McCarthy.
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: You weren't willing to give Mike McCarthy an extension that
• 22:55
  Speaker 12: I don't give that one because because if Mike McCarthy
• 23:00
  Speaker 12: goes ester this year, you're probably gonna wish Beck was
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: gone too, because let's say it that the type if Dak.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Doesn't do good at a playoffs or whatever, So I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I just wouldn't do it. I mean, if you could
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: get him, it sounds crazy at a at a bargain.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Right million a year, Yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But sixty I just couldn't do it. I like Thatak.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I think he's a.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Very good quarterback. But that's that's that's you know, greatness,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: And we talked about it. Mahomes is the only guy
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: that could say give me seventy and you'd be like, okay, yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But the other is it's a bad it's a bad investment.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It's a bad investment on any of these quarterbacks at
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: that price because you just can't build enough around them,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and especially Dak. So it's going to be very interesting.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: What do they got till March? Is it thirteenth or
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the eighteenth or something like that.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll yeah, it's coming up here soon. I mean
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of these questions that we have will be
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: answered before too long here.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And you're right your what is your feelings if you
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: were if you and Jerry and what would what would
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you do? I know it's kind of like put you
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: on the spot.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well all right, I'll answer that. I appreciate it,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: and my Rob appreciate the call as always.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, thank you. Yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: If I was Jerry, uh uh, I'd go to the yacht.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: I just like, I just want to check it out,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: you know. I think that'd be kind of cool. Now,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: if i was Jerry, what I would do is I'm
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: going to I extend him to the point where it
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: lowers his his salary. I think it's like twenty something
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: million quickly. I think you add a year to it
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: or something. Not not a full fledged extension, but I
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: I do you know, if he agrees to it, where
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: where you know we can we can save some He's
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: still going to get paid a lot, but we could
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: save some money. I think there's a way to get
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: almost twenty million, and then I would I would try
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: to do my best to build some things around it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I would go for it. That's what I would do.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I'd go for it. I'd go for this whole thing.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I'd keep, I'd keep DK, but I'd also get myself
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: some opportunities to go do make some moves. I'd make
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: a trade or two. Uh here, they've already done some
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: of that. I'd maybe dip into some of the next
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: year's picks again, I would. I would go for some
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: for some you know, as much as you can can do.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: His team is good, it needs some help. I'd get
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: one of those running backs that I maybe we'll get
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: some people excited. I would. I would try for it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: I would be I would not sit on my hands
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: on free agency. I would give myself an opportunity by
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: signing some of these guys like Micah, definitely CD and Dak,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: getting them done because I think they deserve it now
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: now Dak, I would be, like you said, a little
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: tricky with that, but for the most part and giving
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: myself some opportunity to go do some things and free
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: agency and I would go for it. I would I would,
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: And that means maybe trading back in the draft. Maybe
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: you're not as aggressive in the draft because you're you're
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: picking at the end of the first round. Anyways, trading back,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I'm fine, adding some picks, I'm fine with that. But
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: maybe maybe trying to get some help on this team,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: maybe you trade some some picks, current picks for for
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: some players. Again, we've seen it already. They don't have
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: a lot, but try to figure out what to do it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: But whatever it is, I'm a lot more aggressive this
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: year that I have been in the past. That's what
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: That's what I would do. All right, let's go Mike.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: He's in Birmingham, England.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Hello?
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: Nick?
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Hello, how are you? I?
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: I'm good?
• 26:39
  Speaker 14: Thank you?
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, best bisies to your dad and I hope all
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: all goes well there. I've been thinking of calling for
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: a while and I've been inspired to call by Kattia
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: from Russia. I thought, if she can do it, then yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: And and also when you when you talked about your
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: your spreadsheet, I'm first spreadsheet gek myself, So I thought, right,
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: I've got to get my name on mixed spreadsheet.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: That's right, it's in a different column, you know, out
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: of out of the country, calls go to another column.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I sort it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know excel that well, but I know how
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: to sort different things by the alphabetically, by the state,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: by the car.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't even know stop learning from England.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we've had one from England.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: This is great. So there you go.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: You have now.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris, thank you. Here we go, here we go.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it sounds like it sounds like you're far away.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: That's what it does sound that way.
• 27:35
  Speaker 11: So yeah, sorry, sorry about that.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: It's all good. What do you got, okay?
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: So yeah, well I wanted to I know that there's
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: been quite a lot of doom, understandably around, you know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: the unexpected or or maybe expected by many people, the
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: playoff exit. I wanted to lift the gloom a little
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: bit because my story is that this has been my
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: first season properly on board. I'm forty eight years old.
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: It's taken me this long, and you know, I've always
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: had sort of a passing interest in NFL, and as
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: far as it's been anyone, it's been the Cowboys. But
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: my problem was, you know, a big scuff, as you
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: guys could call it, and I've never really understood until recently.
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: I've got a colleague who is forty nine er fan
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: and he knows his nfl out, and gradually going to
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: him with questions started to understand more. And I'll tell you,
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: this year has been absolutely fantastic despite how it ended.
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: And you know, I am properly on board Cowboys for
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: life now and so so you know it's not all
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: been doom and gloom. We've got one more to the
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: Cowboys family. But I've got a couple of opinions. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: I say this with due respect to the people that
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: have been riding this train a lot longer than I have.
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: And is you know my opinion isn't the same as your,
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: then that's fine. I respect that, and I respect that
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: you've been putting up with the post season tobaccle for
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: a lot longer than I have. But opinion on Dak.
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: I I've heard a lot of people talking about Dak
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: all season, but particularly since the Packers game, and I've
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: heard people saying, you know, we're stuck with Dak because
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: of the cap hit. And I'm not stuck with Tak.
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: I want Dak. There is with my head ruling my heart.
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: There is one guy that I swapped Dak for that's
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: my homes and he's way out on his own. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: then Dak is in that next group that there's not
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: much to pick between them, and and he's my guy,
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: and I'm delighted that we've got that. And obviously I
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: wish he was a little bit cheaper, but you know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: so be it. So I'm not stuck with him. I'm
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: riding with him, and he's Mike qub and if that
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: puts me out on my own or in a minority.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Then.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: So be it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: And the other thing I've seen with Cowboy Nation is
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: understandably after twenty nine years, everything is so contingent on
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: kind of what happens in postseason, and I just I
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: wonder if people just forget to enjoy the ride sometimes,
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: because we know we can do the regular season, we
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: know two three years in a row and we know
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: we can do that, We've got to enjoy the journey, even,
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: you know, regardless of what happens at the end of it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: And thinking about some of the great moments that we've had,
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: you know, CDs touchdown against Detroit, the all Deron Blams
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: picked sixes and Gilmore's interception against the Charges to win
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: the game. There have been some fantastic moments that have
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: had me leaping up off my sofa at three o'clock
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: in the morning or whatever time. Supporting over here isn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: good for work the next day when you've got a
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: Sunday or a Monday night game, I can tell you,
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: but no, it's just been brilliant and I've loved every
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: minute back in ten years. If we still don't want anything,
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: and I'll be, you know, one of those bemoaning how
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: everything is, but you know, I've just a people to
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: remember to enjoy it. Otherwise, what is the point. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: do have one question for you, Nick, and then I'll
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: shut up and let you answer. I've recently finished reading
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: Collision Low Crosses. I don't know if you've read it
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: New York, just twenty eleven, behind the scenes kind of book,
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: and the Jets that year was Brian Schottenheimer, and so
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: I've read quite a few things about him, and it
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: struck me that he's someone that we don't hear very
• 31:58
  Speaker 11: much about. You know, if our defense has a poor game,
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: then everyone's been on de qu'esback about it. If our
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: offense has a poor game. Everyone's after mccaf and I
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: just wondered, you know, how is Brian Schottenheimer kind of
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: seen How does that role kind of work when he's
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: not doing the play calling. And I'm not wishing to
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: sort of question him or bring on a kind of
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: hate campaign against him, but are there questions to answer
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: in terms of his role in the book Santo Holmes,
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: who didn't come across all that well himself in that book,
• 32:34
  Speaker 11: but he said that Brian Schottenheimer shaped the fun out
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: of the game for the offense, And so I just wondered,
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: you know what your take is on Brian's role, and
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: I'm I'll leave you to it and thank you very
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: much for having me on.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: All right, thank you for the call, Mike, appreciate that
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: calling from England. Uh, it's pretty lengthy call. I'll give
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: you a credit for that. That's fine. You first call,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: so you could definitely do that. I am obviously trying
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: to get these calls gonna go in quicker so we
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: can get more people on the line. But I had
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: a lot to say. I had never called before, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I say it all the time. You know, you don't
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: choose to be a cowboy fan.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It chooses you.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Well, there are exceptions that sounds like mikeh is chosen
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: to be a cowboy fan, uh from England.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: And I think and I appreciate that Dax's Guy's what.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: He said asking about Schottenheimer shottennheiman like you said, you've
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: said it right. I mean, he doesn't call the plays.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: So therefore you're not gonna get you know, you're not
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: gonna get the blame or the credit for anything. Now
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: now you I think one thing that he's done, I
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: think I think he should get some credit in the
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: fact that you know, their offense did look different and
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: in some of the structure of the plays.
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Those are things that you do help implement as the
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: as the week goes on and you install a lot
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: some of the some of the different plays and and
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: and then you know McCarthy's the one that calls them
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: when figuring out, you know, how to manage the game
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: and the down and distance and all that. But but
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: there is some more work done in the installation part
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: process and he's he's very helpful and instrumental with that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: And I know Dak has given him some praise with that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: So you know.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Not not in front of the scenes. A lot doesn't
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: call the plays. But still I think Brian Schottenheimer has helped.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: And he's been around a lot, a lot of quarterbacks,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of different systems, so he's certainly got a
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: lot of experiment experience. Sorry, let's go to Chris in
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: San Angelo.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, Nick, how are you doing buddy?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you?
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: I'm doing well? First off, I have to point out
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: that you're you were spot on on your tweet with
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: that basketball game against my god with the with the
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: point four seconds.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: I'm still upset. Okay, I'm just letting you know. I'm
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: still upset, and I'll tell you why. Let me tell
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: you a story real quick. Because I follow my team.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: This is my my my Everyone thinks I'm a big
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Arkansas and I am arkansass my my team my school
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: is Midwestern State University's how I got this job. Okay,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: mid mid Western State and I follow them and Saturday afternoon,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I I know they're playing in his little state. They
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: gotta have this game. I look at I pull up
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: my phone. We're down big, but we're starting to come back.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: I'm doing other things, but I get my phone and
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: it says Midwestern State up sixty seven, sixty five with
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: zero point zero left, and I'm like, why is this
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: say final? What's the problem here? And it says that
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: way for a little bit and then it refreshes to
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: tie game sixty seven. I go, there must have been
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: a half a second or whatever. But just one of
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: you guys are listening. I put this on Twitter.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Point four.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: My school makes a shot with point four and they
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: got ninety four feet to go, and somehow in point
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: four they throw a long pass, this guy catches it,
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: shoots it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Score.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Give them credit for the pass and the shot, but
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I've done it all with my phone on the stopwatch.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: I go boom, boom, and it's point five. You can't
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: do anything in point four. You cannot catch a ninety
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: four foot shot and go up and shoot it and
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: make it in point four.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry it's not.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: But they tie the game, and then they won a
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: triple overtime, so I'm still salty about it.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: There Oh no dis oh uh point four. Once the
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: ball touches somebody, game over, get alone, Yeah, set and shoes,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: No possible.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you say that. Were you there? You weren't there?
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I was not.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: I was not there. Uh I was. I'm planning on
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: going to one of their games a little bit later
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: on in the season. I have some tickets, but we'll
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: go up.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: To the tournament. Go up to the tournament in Frisco.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: There's a tournament up there. If you go up there,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: if you go up there, I'll be there because I
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: worked that tournament also, So if you go up there,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I'll see there. Okay, sorry you're talking.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Now, No, that's okay. I was wanting to know if
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: you wanted me to find out who the who was
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: operating the Yeah, I want to know. I'll shoot that.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: I'll shoot that over to you. Yeah, okay. Anyway, Uh
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: what I was going to say, Oh, I had a
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: I had a favorite player. Okay, my favorite cowboy of
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: all time is Bob hay And the reason is is
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: that way back in the day, probably it was in
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: I was in high school and I went to a
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Rangers game with a couple of my friends and I'm talking,
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: you know, two stadiums Ago Ranger game and one my
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: buddies said, there's Bob Hayes over there. He's on third seat.
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: And I was like really, And so I went over
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: there and stuck my hand out to him and said,
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: mister Hayes, it's I just wanted to shake your hand
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: and he said. I said thank you for you know,
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: everything you did, and he said you're welcome, and I
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: was like, I was in this moment of I'm not
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: worthy type of thing, and so ever since then I'm like, Okay,
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: he's my favorite player because he shout in my hands.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: So there you go. But anyway, my my question, I
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: was wondering, like with the defense, it's been no mystery
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: that uh, you know, trouble stopping to run, And so
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: I was going to ask you, did you do you
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: think that's more of a personnel thing or do you
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: think it's more of a scheme thing? With and with
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Zimmer coming in, you think it might with his scheme,
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: might possibly be an easier fix than what we think
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: it would be. And then that's all I had.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Right Well, Chris, I think when you say is it
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: a personnel thing or is it a scheme thing, I
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: think those are. I don't think they're the same thing,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: but I think they're connected because I think your scheme,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: you fit the personnel to the scheme that you play,
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: and so I think that I don't think there was
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: a point of emphasis on the run as much as
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: it should be. Every coach in the world says we
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: got to stop the run, but they don't always do
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: the things necessary to get the team there, in the
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: personnel in place to in order to do that, you know,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And they say they want to stop the run, but
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: I know this firsthand. They look at linebackers in a
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: way of will he get beat by the tied end?
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Will Kelsey and Kittle eat him live? So let's make
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: sure we get these versatile nice you know, good covering
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: past car you know, covering tight ends that they can.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: But then also on third and three, they don't. They
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: don't match up well with the guard that's coming right
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: at them too. So, uh, linebacker is a tough position.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: And I but I do think there needs to be
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: a point of emphasis to get stronger, tougher, bigger linebackers
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: up front that will help stop the run.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: And hopefully with zimmer scheme, that'll do that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Plus also the alignment in the front front four will
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: also be different as well.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: But they they've got to stop the run. I mean,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: that's that everyone knows that.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Right on, buddy, all right, Hey, I appreciate it.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks for the call. Appreciate it, Thanks for that,
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: thanks for seeing it the right way.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Come on, Hey, I'm I'm from Angelot, but I saw.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: That's all right. I appreciate you.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Right, the heck of a play. Heck of a play.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I just don't think it counted, but it didn't exactly anyways,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Let's keep going here. Let's go to Brett in Virginia.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: Hello, sir, Thanks, very nice to speak to you today.
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I'm good, first time I am as I am.
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: I'm a first time caller, but I'm a fifty seven
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: year old Cowboys fan. All right, but I have to
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: ask you a question topic correct.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: See, what's the first thing you said?
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: I could talk about any topic, right, it's not a
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: specific topic we're talking.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's always there's always rules. So I mean,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: let's you know, I think I think you'll be fine.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. I don't want to say no. Talk about
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: anything you want. Then that will get me. That was
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: the show canceled.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: Now let me let me be specific about this.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: The other day I saw on ESPN and Chris Canny
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: was on and he was talking about true in Dallas
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: in reference to b Law brought it up, but the
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: reason why they lost the game to Green Bay was
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: the because they were tied. He was tired. They were
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: tired as a Cowboy fan for fifty seven years, fifty
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: seven old and dealing with everything from Rogers fallback, a
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: little up to what's going on right now. To hear
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: something like that just absolutely infuriates me as a Cowboy fan.
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: It infuriated him. I wanted to get your take on
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: how you feel about with the Cowboys, you know, maybe
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: your whole work life. I don't know.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you talking about what I feel about d lost comments. Yes, okay,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: do you have any other question or that's it?
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: No, really, that's it. I just I'm still going to
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: be a Cowboy fan. I'm very happy to be on
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: your show. I'm always going to be a Cowboy fan.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: But this year I thought everything was in place. We
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: went into that game. Everybody was healthy, you know, like
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: the gentleman before was talking about Tyron Smith. Everybody was
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: We're all ready to go, and I s excuse as
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: the Cowboys, And to hear that we were tired, Yeah,
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: that's all I have to say.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, I appreciate I appreciate the call, thank you. I
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: was surprised to hear that, of course. And I would
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: like to say, you know, you want to think maybe
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: that was taken out of context, but I mean it
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: wasn't because it was This isn't a quote that you read.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I mean we saw the video. You can see it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: That was the question.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say this that I think de Law
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: meant something different. He had to have he had to
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: have met in his mind. That did not come out
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: the way he wanted it to come out. There's there's
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: just no way. He's not the type of player. He's
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: not the type of player to say that. He's not
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: one to throw out excuses like that, especially that one.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: You can't do that.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: And I'll say this, I'm not calling anyone else this,
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: but there's some guys you could maybe other players can punk,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: not him, not Tank. He's not the type of guy
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: to do that. Okay, So that that you're asking for
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: it when you say that, when you say we were
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: just tired, you're asking for it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I know I don't.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying I know him personally, I but I've
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: covered him now for what ten seasons. That's not the
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: type of person or player or persona that Tank Lawrence
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: is is to say that, I don't think there's any
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: way that came out like he wanted it to. So
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: on that because I know the type of person and
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: the player that he is, and he's not soft, okay
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: at all, So that that I don't I can't. I mean,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: it's really hard. It's hard to defend it because I
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: didn't understand that. I don't think you would do that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: I don't think you would want to say that. But
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: there's gotta be more to it than him just standing
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: on it on the table to say we lost because
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: we were tired. That I know that's what what was said.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna have to say that there's there's more
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: to it than that. And if that that makes sense,
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it does, because it because it's
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: it was a It was a head scratcher to hear that.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants that. I mean, nobody wants excuses, you know
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: I I that's one thing when a guy gets injured,
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: you know the Arizona game, I mean you lost three linemen,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: you lost three starting linemen who all were in the
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowl, and you lost three of them, and you
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: lost Trayvon Digs two days before, and you lost to
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals, and nobody wants to hear that as.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: An excuse, and it's like, it's not excuse, it's just.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: There's a reason for it. And so there's a reason
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: that they lost to the Packers. I just don't think
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: it's that and not deep down, I don't. I don't
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: know if if d Law does as well. I've heard
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: some people say maybe what he meant was kind of
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: the mental grind of you know, because you go back
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: and look at what they that they went through.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: We knew that was going to be a gauntlet, you know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: six six games.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: I mean for six games it was just boom Bro, Seattle,
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Philly and then you know, Buffalo, Miami, then Detroit, even
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Washington was was kind of tough for a little bit
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: and then bo when here comes to the playoffs.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: But there's no excuse for that still.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, still like you've got to be gearing up
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: to that point, uh, and playoffs should should give you
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: some new life and energy and all that. So I
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: don't know, but I'm you know, we'll we'll see if
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: the law addresses it again or whatever. I just like
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: to think there's got to be more to it than that.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: I really do, because he's just it just goes against
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: everything we know about him to make that statement.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's go. Uh all right, here we go.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the next caller is doctor Sunshine. He's

  Speaker 1: All right.
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: Anyway, I wanted just a touch base with you and
• 47:20
  Speaker 9: had a couple of questions. But I wanted before we
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: get off, I wanted you to if you could tell
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: some stories about some of the quarterbacks. You knew that
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: your dad taught to you when you were three. Yeah,
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: and you told everybody who came near you that you
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: know wat your stallback. But also you had to you
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: had to get in gym's on you knew them all.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, I did. I didn't know. I didn't know,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I knew the months that you
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: know of the year or anything like that, but I
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: knew Steve Barkowski was the quarterback of the Falcons.
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I could say it that way.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I couldn't say my rs very well.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, well that we we talked.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: We talked football all the time. And you'll send a
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: text or seven sometimes during the games. But uh, what
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: what's your biggest what's your biggest thought on this team
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: right now? And what do you think what they got to.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Do moving forward?
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, I'm really excited to see if we
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: can get some solid line play, It'll make a big difference.
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: I did really uh want to say something about the defense,
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: and I wanted to ask a question. What is the
• 48:30
  Speaker 9: current situation with Demarbion Overshown and Trayvon Diggs. Are they
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: going to be able to be active in springs raining
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: in a camp.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think they will be for sure.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: They both had a cl injuries, you know, one of
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: them late August and one of them early or mid.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Late August or late September.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: But still I think I think both of them the
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: way the way they rehab that injury, now, I think
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be ready to go. You know, I'll say
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: the in the off season stuff OTA's mini camp, but
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: they'll they'll be limited. The goal for them would be
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: to be pretty much full participants at training camp. And
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: even though they played different positions than Terrence Steel. Terrence
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: Steel obviously a lineman, but he got hurt in December.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Before that, he was ready to go for the start
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: of training camp. Different positions, asking these guys to run
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: and cut. But I still think that they'll be able
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: to do some stuff.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: At training camp.
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: Are they excited about it over shown as I am.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I think so, especially any linebacker that you have that's like, well,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: we got him coming back. I mean, I don't think
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: it takes much at this point for linebacker. I mean,
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: if you if you can play linebacker, like, oh, let's
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: let's bring them back, you know. I mean if somebody
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: were to say Sean Lee was working out, I think
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: they would be like, let's go. That's pretty and I
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: almost brought it back way way back, like you know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: I don't even know you know that win or somebody.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: Like that so well and real quick.
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: And you might not want to do this, but I would.
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: I would love for some times you could kind of
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: tell his story about training camp in which doll falls
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: when you were playing the card game.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: When I was playing the card game.
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but the player's number and you knew what the
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: numbers were, uh the card game with it, they drew
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: two numbers and you got to play. You can tell
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: them who wore a certain number.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can't. You know, that card game might
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: have also included other things. So I don't know if
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: I remember as much about that. Uh uh, maybe you
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: know I was old enough barely, but yeah, yeah, I
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: mean I'm always doing games like that where you know,
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: we're coming up with cowboy players and numbers and and
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: things like that.
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I thought you were talking about a different game, a
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: different card game where it was with Hu coming back
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: from Tokyo with EMMITTT. Smith and and Chris Warren and
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: maybe Michael Wiley and I don't know why I included
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: in that, but playing playing cards there and drinking saki
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: coming back on the plane like that. So that's that's
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: the other card game that I remember. But yeah, I
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: mean I'm always trying to him up with former players.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I mean we we did that, you know the whole time,
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: you know, every every every chance we got. You know,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: you're always teaching me that kind of stuff.
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: So well, the story I had is that nobody else
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: knew knew who the player on a certain number was,
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: and when it got around to you, you do three.
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah you won the pot.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm always going to do that yeah. Yeah,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: well that's all I have.
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: I don't want to monopolize the show, but I have
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: enjoyed talking to you.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well thank you. This is this was your creation.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: So I appreciate it. Good talking to you that I'll
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: call you later, h for sure. So all right, that's
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: that's my bad. Doctor Sunshine.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: He goes by. You know, I actually put his his
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: book out here.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: He wrote the book called Nursing Homes about you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: he goes and he sings to nursing homes and with
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: the character doctor Sunshine, and you know, just trying to
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: provide some some light to people that you know, don't
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: always get to, you know, experience that.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: So and and you know what, this week he needs
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: some of that as well. We all do. We all
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: need that. So it's good good to hear from him.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: Sorry, you know, if anybody, you know, if it didn't
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: talk about x's and o's. But then again, it's late February.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: We're good, all right, Ali in Iceland.
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: Neck.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: How you doing pretty good?
• 52:38
  Speaker 14: Buddy? How about you?
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I'm good. You're on the move.
• 52:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I've been on the moves in Super Bowl. You know,
• 52:45
  Speaker 14: I have a group of twelve people showing photography chase
• 52:50
  Speaker 14: in the Northern Lights. But you won't believe they were
• 52:53
  Speaker 14: all San Francisco forty nine ers fans, right. I've been
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: at the game in Iceland. Recolleck started at the eleven
• 53:02
  Speaker 14: thirty in the morning and then they stay up to
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: four o'clock to watch the game. I picked them up
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: to bring him sudden Iceland. They were so bummed up,
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: but I was so happy. I couldn't I couldn't see
• 53:15
  Speaker 14: the game, but I couldn't be happier the four Unders lost. Anyway,
• 53:23
  Speaker 14: I've got a couple of things.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: I really really really want a.
• 53:27
  Speaker 14: Christmas wish to have this Senator Jackson power Johnson. I thought,
• 53:34
  Speaker 14: if Cowboys get lucky, somehow get this guy cementous center.
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: And then I really that's one guy. I pray to
• 53:46
  Speaker 14: God they get him. And then on the second round,
• 53:49
  Speaker 14: I figured they get them one of the running backs.
• 53:53
  Speaker 14: But as far as the free agency concerns, I like
• 53:57
  Speaker 14: to pick up the sure bed one of these Linda
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: and defensive tackles, one in the middle, one back up,
• 54:04
  Speaker 14: and you know, I don't know you you'll be able
• 54:08
  Speaker 14: to get a chance to watch the New York Giant.
• 54:11
  Speaker 14: When the Lawrence Taylor was playing. You know, I remember
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: this guy always put.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: The fear of God in me.
• 54:19
  Speaker 14: But I think beneath the pass rusher.
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: So let's.
• 54:25
  Speaker 14: Let Parson to be a pass rusher.
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: Just get few linebackers, you know so.
• 54:34
  Speaker 13: Because he truly he reminds me a lot of Lawrence Taylor.
• 54:38
  Speaker 13: The treaty is so fast, then, as far as our
• 54:41
  Speaker 13: draft pick is concerned, I got a question for you.
• 54:45
  Speaker 13: I know, because first and second and third I'm willing
• 54:49
  Speaker 13: to trade the first round.
• 54:51
  Speaker 14: For lower pick to get the pick a few picks.
• 54:54
  Speaker 14: But on on the dan Quinn, do we get any
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: free compensations?
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: No?
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: No, because he no, he just he's a he was
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator, got promoted to a head coach.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: You don't you don't.
• 55:10
  Speaker 14: We get a third roll draft for him?
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: No, he was.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: No, you don't get it.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: You're don't gonna get one for anybody, any of the
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: coaches that are up there. You know it sounds good,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: but but sorry, that's just not that's not the rule.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: The rule.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: The rule is that the that the NFL. You know
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: you you you have to grant them, doesn't matter they're
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: under contract or not. You have to grant them permission
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: to interview with them for a head coaching job. Now
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: there are some compensations for uh different positions, I think
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: for minority positions, especially for with on the executive level
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: like a vice president and and maybe for head coach.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: But but not and nothing that that has happened with
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: like add and Dirty moving up or anything like that.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Joett Junior. They did not get conversation for that.
• 56:04
  Speaker 14: Awesome. So my memorabilia, I have four boxes of Cowboys Weekly.
• 56:13
  Speaker 14: I got three boxes of VHS. Every single Cowboys game
• 56:18
  Speaker 14: on VHS. Shape I used to connect with a couple
• 56:24
  Speaker 14: of people in New York and California. Since I live
• 56:29
  Speaker 14: in Florida, always show the Florida team, so I've used
• 56:32
  Speaker 14: to exchange tape. But as far as the memorabilia, the
• 56:36
  Speaker 14: first time I met coach Landry in nineteen eighty four
• 56:41
  Speaker 14: that were playing Miami Dolphin on the last Monday night,
• 56:45
  Speaker 14: Cowboys used to have this cool poster that put the
• 56:48
  Speaker 14: eighty four team and put back of it whole bunch
• 56:51
  Speaker 14: of previous year.
• 56:53
  Speaker 11: I have.
• 56:54
  Speaker 14: Every Caboy is just about sign it. It was so
• 56:58
  Speaker 14: impressing to see them for first from a star stock,
• 57:02
  Speaker 14: you know, but love the show.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: Neck.
• 57:04
  Speaker 14: Miss you, buddy, Chris got a question for you, so
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: I can't get your picture in order love you.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: All right, Appreciate that I never know where to on
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: my spreadsheet, where to put Ali because he's moving around?
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: You know, is this is this a call from from Iceland?
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: Because because he was from Iceland, you know, just just
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: count as a different estate, I mean a different country.
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: I think it does, because I'm sure there's different challenges
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: to call from different places.
• 57:33
  Speaker 11: It's like the second country is called right, he's all
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: Africa and Iceland.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Right, because I think I think on the sheet it's
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: like Florida. Ali from Florida doesn't count. We got to know,
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: we've got a lot of those you don't have Iceland.
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, nothing against Florida because they got
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: cool people like Ronnie there, you know what I mean,
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: Like Ronnie from Florida.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: So what's up?
• 57:56
  Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing good?
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: How are you doing good?

  Speaker 1: I like to shoot the ball. I don't like to
• 58:20

• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: McClain from where we and I might have said this before,

  Speaker 4: press box, and it's usually really high.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Up and it's kind of hard to see the numbers
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: You never doubted who made that hit when it was
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: Rolando McClean, because if he hit the guy at the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: twenty five yard line, he was down at the twenty five.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: There was no dragging two more yards to the twenty
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: three or whatever. He was down at the twenty five.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: He could hit.
• 1:00:38

• 1:01:04

  Speaker 4: or seven eight years ago. I wanted to get involved
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: with soccer and kind of get an EPL team and

  Speaker 4: They were up and coming, you know, I didn't want
• 1:02:24

  Speaker 4: go with Swansea and they.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Get relegated like in their third year.
• 1:02:32
