- 0:33Speaker 1: from you guys. This is your show where you can
- 0:36Speaker 1: sound off. I'm sure you have plenty to talk about.
- 0:39Speaker 1: As the Cowboys get ready to take on the Pittsburgh Steeler.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Is up in Pittsburgh? Is that a rivalry? It's Pittsburgh, Robber.
- 0:47Speaker 1: That's a question, I guess I will throw it to
- 0:48Speaker 1: you guys. And who are the rivals for this team?
- 0:51Speaker 4: You know?
- 0:51Speaker 1: I mean it's always the Eagles, Washingtons that don't change
- 0:54Speaker 1: their name, uh, you know, Giants. But other than those
- 0:58Speaker 1: division ones, I always think Pittsburgh is I guess because
- 1:01Speaker 1: of the link I grew up Super Bowl era they
- 1:04Speaker 1: were playing each other and so Packers forty nine ers,
- 1:09Speaker 1: those those are the rivals to me, Pittsburgh is if
- 1:12Speaker 1: there is one in the AFC, I guess that team
- 1:14Speaker 1: in Houston is one. But we'll see. But all right,
- 1:18Speaker 1: eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven
- 1:21Speaker 1: we have a couple of callers on the line. I
- 1:23Speaker 1: know we want to talk about. We have injuries, situations
- 1:26Speaker 1: going on. There'll be more injuries to talk about. Maybe
- 1:29Speaker 1: before this show's even over, we'll probably have some more
- 1:32Speaker 1: that will pop up. Not good for this team. They're
- 1:34Speaker 1: battling stuff on defensive end. They're battling stuff obviously at
- 1:39Speaker 1: cornerback with trying to get deron bland back. And there
- 1:42Speaker 1: might be a couple more on the horizon. All right,
- 1:44Speaker 1: let's keep Let's go to the phone lines though. Cowboy
- 1:47Speaker 1: Jeff is in Mount Gary, Maryland, right, Mount Gary, Maryland.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Born Nick, Yeah, mount Airy, Maryland.

- 2:07Speaker 5: I wanted to put something up for you. Thank you
- 2:11Speaker 5: very much.
- 2:11Speaker 6: I love it.
- 2:12Speaker 5: Sure you were talking to a pastor recently, and then
- 2:18Speaker 5: Chris started playing some music. You're like, what is this
- 2:20Speaker 5: music about?
- 2:21Speaker 6: You?
- 2:21Speaker 5: Well, when when pastors call he plays church music, that
- 2:25Speaker 5: was church music.
- 2:25Speaker 7: You know, I got it, and.
- 2:29Speaker 5: So that was pretty cool.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And thank you for telling me what church music sounds like,
- 2:33Speaker 1: because you know, I don't know, because I don't you know,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I work on Sundays. I guess I don't. I don't
- 2:37Speaker 1: ever go to church, So no'm but I heard it.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I was it was it was faint. No, it wasn't
- 2:43Speaker 1: like here we go. I was like, what are we doing?
- 2:45Speaker 5: No, I could I could hear it. I could hear it.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I knew exactly what it was because I listened to
- 2:49Speaker 5: every podcast. So so anyway, I'm sure Chris already cleared
- 2:53Speaker 5: that up for you, but I wanted to do that
- 2:55Speaker 5: as well.
- 2:55Speaker 6: But no.
- 2:58Speaker 5: The other thing I want to say was when day
- 3:00Speaker 5: last Wednesday, you know, after a caller, you know a
- 3:04Speaker 5: bunch of Dallas downers are calling and they want to
- 3:08Speaker 5: blow it up, and you know, get a new coach
- 3:10Speaker 5: and do this and this. You know, this is our
- 3:13Speaker 5: I'm a all Weather fan. So whether they win, I
- 3:16Speaker 5: love them. Whether they lose, I love them. Like you're
- 3:18Speaker 5: talking about rivalries, I remember back in nineteen eighty nine.
- 3:21Speaker 5: You correct me if I'm wrong. I think they were
- 3:22Speaker 5: one in fifteen, but they had some freaking awesome players
- 3:27Speaker 5: on that team that made it to the Hall of
- 3:30Speaker 5: Fame and that team, you know, but the great thing
- 3:32Speaker 5: about that season we beat Washington. We beat Washington. That's awesome.
- 3:37Speaker 1: You know, So what was the score.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Of that game? Am I getting it right? I mean
- 3:45Speaker 5: it was a low scoring game. I think Troykman didn't
- 3:47Speaker 5: even play because he was injured. And it was at Washington,
- 3:53Speaker 5: I think, yeah, and like fourteen thirteen. I'm going to
- 3:56Speaker 5: just guess fourteen thirteen something like that. But you can
- 3:59Speaker 5: tell me the score, you remember it, I'm sure.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, it was thirteen to three. But and Paul
- 4:04Speaker 1: Palmer are running back, had the game of his life
- 4:07Speaker 1: as a game's life, Steve Yes.
- 4:09Speaker 5: And Paul Booboo Palmer. He went to Temple A High
- 4:14Speaker 5: School near here. He went to Churchill. He went to
- 4:17Speaker 5: Churchill High School. But the point there was a rival
- 4:19Speaker 5: of my high school, Springbrook High School.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Okay, but the point, sorry we're leading off the show here, Well,
- 4:24Speaker 1: the point is is that the rivalries. They beat Washington.
- 4:28Speaker 1: It didn't matter that they won one game that sucked,
- 4:30Speaker 1: but at least you beat Washington. And you know what,
- 4:32Speaker 1: absolutely Washington did the same thing. In nineteen ninety five,
- 4:36Speaker 1: the Cowboys were twelve and four won the Super Bowl.
- 4:38Speaker 1: The Redskins were four and twelve, but they swept the
- 4:40Speaker 1: Cowboys that year. Sometimes beat us yes, all right, Jeff,
- 4:44Speaker 1: what else anything else?
- 4:47Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 4:48Speaker 5: And no, I'm just I'm looking forward to beating our rivals,
- 4:52Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers because that's the seventies rival. But you know,
- 4:55Speaker 5: I mean we've met in the Super Bowl, I guess
- 4:57Speaker 5: three times, and you know, I guess San Francisco forty
- 5:01Speaker 5: nine Ers would be a nineties rival. And the NFC.
- 5:05Speaker 6: East is always a rival.
- 5:06Speaker 5: But let's just win them all. Let's just win them all.
- 5:09Speaker 5: How about that? All right, thanks for taking my call,
- 5:11Speaker 5: have a great day.
- 5:12Speaker 9: Appreciate you, all right.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks godboy, Jeff. All right, let's keep it
- 5:15Speaker 1: going with Randy's in Texarkana.
- 5:18Speaker 7: Good morning, sun Shine. What's up man, I've just been
- 5:24Speaker 7: busier in Jesse. Holly into Trader Park when Casey wings.
- 5:28Speaker 7: I hadn't been able to call it in in a while,
- 5:30Speaker 7: so I just wanted to get in text with you.
- 5:32Speaker 7: See how you even doing.
- 5:33Speaker 1: We're good? We're good. How are you?
- 5:35Speaker 7: I'm fine? He Let's do it something a little different,
- 5:38Speaker 7: just change it up some Today I was talking to
- 5:42Speaker 7: somebody about at and D Stadium because I was reminding
- 5:46Speaker 7: them that I had I was going to the Lions
- 5:47Speaker 7: game next weekend, and I referred to it as the
- 5:52Speaker 7: new Stadium, the new stadium. I said it several times. Man,
- 5:56Speaker 7: that think's been there fifteen years now? How crazy is that?
- 5:58Speaker 1: Fifteen years? That's right?
- 6:00Speaker 7: Is that not walled?
- 6:01Speaker 1: It is?
- 6:01Speaker 7: It is and.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Still looks new, feels new. I still get lost. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: still I get lost if I if I don't know
- 6:08Speaker 1: where I am. I mean, like it's not the easiest
- 6:10Speaker 1: place to get around. So it still has that new
- 6:12Speaker 1: look and feel.
- 6:13Speaker 7: Yep, that's right. And uh so some of my best
- 6:17Speaker 7: memories is uh at Texas Stadium whenever I take my
- 6:21Speaker 7: kids over and you know, it'd be a beautiful day
- 6:24Speaker 7: like it is today, nice and cool and you're making
- 6:26Speaker 7: that walk to the stadium, just the memories of it.
- 6:28Speaker 9: So to cheer you up.
- 6:31Speaker 7: I want, I want, you know, let me do this
- 6:35Speaker 7: and uh, I just want to hear give me and
- 6:39Speaker 7: I'll get off to let you tell it. But give
- 6:41Speaker 7: me either a Texas Stadium or an AT and T Stadium.
- 6:44Speaker 7: Something that takes you back, you know, like some good
- 6:49Speaker 7: story makes you feel good.
- 6:50Speaker 9: All right, let's hear it?
- 6:51Speaker 1: All right?
- 6:52Speaker 8: Good?
- 6:52Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds right, you guys, Thanks man, all right, n
- 6:56Speaker 1: thanks for the call, I'll have to. When I was
- 7:00Speaker 1: seven years old, my dad took me to a playoff
- 7:02Speaker 1: game nineteen eighty three against the Rams and it was
- 7:05Speaker 1: the one of the coldest games ever. It's so cold
- 7:08Speaker 1: that the pipes froze and the bathrooms, all the the
- 7:11Speaker 1: plumbing was was was out, and they had porta potties
- 7:15Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It was so cold that Cowboys
- 7:17Speaker 1: lost to the Rams. And I'll just I'll never I'll
- 7:21Speaker 1: never forget that. That memory just all bundled up. And
- 7:23Speaker 1: you know, but we wanted to watch the game. You know,
- 7:27Speaker 1: I thought you had to get, you know, something to eat.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But my dad was like, let's just let's just go.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'll get you a really nice steak if we could
- 7:34Speaker 1: just go back here and watch this game. And I
- 7:37Speaker 1: you know, I was seven years old. I wanted, like,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I don't know what I want, hot chocolate or something.
- 7:41Speaker 1: But I'll never forget just I didn't care. It didn't
- 7:44Speaker 1: matter to me, like, oh the pipes, that didn't matter
- 7:47Speaker 1: to me. Like I was at Texas State, it was
- 7:49Speaker 1: the greatest thing. And then another thing about it. When
- 7:51Speaker 1: I started working for the Cowboys, always would park at
- 7:54Speaker 1: this guardrail right at the guardrail. That's about the closest
- 7:56Speaker 1: I could park. Three hours before a game. I would
- 7:59Speaker 1: step over the guardrail and walk in. And every time
- 8:02Speaker 1: I stepped over the guardrail, I would see fans, faces,
- 8:05Speaker 1: painted jerseys, all this stuff. You know, they're going to
- 8:07Speaker 1: the games, maybe scalping, trying to get tickets, whatever. And
- 8:10Speaker 1: I would walk over that guardrail and I would tell myself,
- 8:13Speaker 1: this is your job, this is your job. And I
- 8:15Speaker 1: did that every single time I walked over there. I
- 8:17Speaker 1: don't have a spot like that, you know, at at
- 8:20Speaker 1: and T, which I should a reminder, but that was
- 8:23Speaker 1: my reminder every single time, like, wow, this is cool,
- 8:26Speaker 1: you know. And you know what. Derek and I sit
- 8:29Speaker 1: next to Derek Eagleton. He sometimes before kickoff, he's like,
- 8:32Speaker 1: we get to do this for free. It's been twenty
- 8:34Speaker 1: five years. We've been doing those twenty five years, and
- 8:36Speaker 1: we still have that feeling. I think that that's what
- 8:37Speaker 1: carries us going, and that's why maybe I have the
- 8:40Speaker 1: mindset that I do when when you guys are saying
- 8:43Speaker 1: all the season's overh blah blah blah whatever, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: like I find the good in all of it, or
- 8:48Speaker 1: at least try to a little bit, and so I
- 8:51Speaker 1: always try to have that perspective. But Texas Stadium, I
- 8:53Speaker 1: don't know if that answers your question. But Texas Stadium,
- 8:55Speaker 1: that's just a memory. When I think of Texas Stadium,
- 8:58Speaker 1: I think of that and and just every time I
- 9:01Speaker 1: would park there and go and get to go, and
- 9:02Speaker 1: I'm like, this is they're paying me to actually go
- 9:05Speaker 1: to this game because unbelievable. All right, let's go to
- 9:07Speaker 1: Michael and he's in California. I don't know where Michael California.
- 9:12Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I'm yeah, oh hi, oh hi.
- 9:15Speaker 1: All right, that's exactly what it says. I was like,
- 9:18Speaker 1: you know, Chris already messed up one thing for me
- 9:20Speaker 1: on here, so I don't know, but first time caller,
- 9:23Speaker 1: right yeah.
- 9:25Speaker 10: Actually, Uh, what's funny is I actually called in, I
- 9:28Speaker 10: mean a long time ago when I was just a
- 9:30Speaker 10: snot nosed teenager when you were on the break, and uh,
- 9:35Speaker 10: I remember asking a question about why somebody pulled hamstrings
- 9:38Speaker 10: back with Miles and Miles Austin and all these guys
- 9:40Speaker 10: are pulling hamstrings.
- 9:41Speaker 11: So but uh, but actually I was just calling. Uh yeah,
- 9:50Speaker 11: I just want to say appreciate the show.
- 9:52Speaker 12: It's awesome.
- 9:53Speaker 10: Uh and and your insight is always helpful. Being in
- 9:56Speaker 10: California and especially near Auxnard. I got to go down
- 10:00Speaker 10: for the first time the Cowboys training camp this year
- 10:02Speaker 10: with my fiance. We just moved to a carpenteria actually
- 10:07Speaker 10: from Reno, so it was nice to be able to
- 10:08Speaker 10: actually go and experience it. But with the Steelers coming up,
- 10:13Speaker 10: I actually had a question about if you have kind
- 10:17Speaker 10: of a I'm sure you do, but a favorite or
- 10:21Speaker 10: kind of most consequential Steelers Cowboys memory because for me,
- 10:27Speaker 10: you know, my time as a Cowboys fan has been
- 10:31Speaker 10: mostly I mean, I grew up with the nineties and
- 10:36Speaker 10: then got the Tony Romo years in high school, so
- 10:40Speaker 10: you know, it's been a bit of an up and
- 10:42Speaker 10: down ride. So I didn't get to see the glory
- 10:44Speaker 10: years of Cowboys Steelers. But oh and this is a
- 10:48Speaker 10: completely random fun fact. Then I'll get off the phone.
- 10:50Speaker 10: But I'm a teacher and I chaperone a outdoor ed
- 10:54Speaker 10: camping trip to Santa Cruz Islands and I ended up
- 10:58Speaker 10: actually playing catch with John stal Wars by accident. But yeah,
- 11:04Speaker 10: so random Steelers cross over there. But yeah, all right,
- 11:08Speaker 10: I'll hang up in there here.
- 11:09Speaker 1: What you got to say all the fame, John star Wars,
- 11:11Speaker 1: I believe, yeah, thank you, thank you for the call.
- 11:15Speaker 1: You know, the Steelers, it's always it's always an interesting game,
- 11:20Speaker 1: you know, every time they they play or I just remember,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you know, I mean this last one, I mean the
- 11:27Speaker 1: one eight years ago. Man, I can't get better than that.
- 11:29Speaker 1: I mean, that was an unbelievable game back and forth.
- 11:32Speaker 1: This was supposed to be the game Deac. You know,
- 11:34Speaker 1: all right, good good, good season back so far. But
- 11:37Speaker 1: you know, wait, wait till you play the Steelers in
- 11:39Speaker 1: Big Ben and they were up for the challenge. Zeke
- 11:42Speaker 1: was amazing. It was it was awesome, you know, I
- 11:45Speaker 1: I I just remember, you know the openers, the ninety
- 11:51Speaker 1: seven and ninety four opener, you know where they go
- 11:54Speaker 1: into Three River Stadium and they win and and you know,
- 11:58Speaker 1: in ninety seven, Deonce was playing baseball the whole year.
- 12:02Speaker 1: It was playing for the Giants, I believe, for the Reds,
- 12:05Speaker 1: one of the two. And he you know, and then
- 12:07Speaker 1: he just shows up on Saturday for the opener against
- 12:11Speaker 1: against the Steelers, and I mean he's been playing baseball.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And now I didn't think about it at the time.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Now working here and realizing if you're not in training camp,
- 12:19Speaker 1: you're not in football shape. It takes a little bit
- 12:21Speaker 1: of time. But now if you're Deion Sanders, and he
- 12:23Speaker 1: went out there, shut down cornerback, returned to pont like
- 12:26Speaker 1: forty yards, and I remember John Maddam was like, this
- 12:29Speaker 1: guy's unbelievable. It's just unbelievable to be playing center field
- 12:32Speaker 1: on Friday and then or Saturday and then go play
- 12:35Speaker 1: on Sunday. And he was. He was just a freak
- 12:38Speaker 1: of Nature's unbelievable. I remember they won that game, you know,
- 12:41Speaker 1: thirty seven to seven. It wasn't a good season in
- 12:44Speaker 1: ninety seven, but sure it looked like it was going
- 12:45Speaker 1: to be for that game. So a lot of memories Steelers,
- 12:48Speaker 1: super Bowls, all that kind of stuff. But but you know,
- 12:51Speaker 1: even even the regular season games are memorable. All right,
- 12:53Speaker 1: let's keep it going here, let's go Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma.
- 12:58Speaker 7: We're going on.
- 13:00Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 13:01Speaker 13: Uh it's Wednesday, So I'm okay, all right, Uh not bad. Now,
- 13:08Speaker 13: I was calling, you know, I was uh giving just
- 13:11Speaker 13: my little take on the game. Hopefully it uh depends
- 13:14Speaker 13: out will Uh. They got a couple of new guards uh,
- 13:18Speaker 13: one guards. Uh, they end up losing the guard a
- 13:20Speaker 13: couple of yes last week, and so they got a
- 13:22Speaker 13: couple of new guards. So hopefully that may bowl well
- 13:25Speaker 13: for MASI to keep me you know, taking more steps
- 13:27Speaker 13: forward and keeping the linebackers clean so they can run
- 13:31Speaker 13: around and stuff like that. So I'm hoping that that
- 13:33Speaker 13: bowls well for the defense even though we lose it.
- 13:36Speaker 13: You know, d law and Michael Parsons, but they didn't
- 13:38Speaker 13: run really well last week against the coach justin fields
- 13:43Speaker 13: I think led him in and rushing. So I mean,
- 13:46Speaker 13: if they can keep him, keep him in the pocket,
- 13:48Speaker 13: maybe you have a good chance of keeping the defense
- 13:50Speaker 13: from uh getting ran on as crazy. And then they
- 13:56Speaker 13: don't Pickings is their big deep threat. Really, they're he's
- 14:00Speaker 13: the main receiver. The other two receivers, three receivers, they
- 14:04Speaker 13: only they have only had about I think one hundred
- 14:06Speaker 13: something yards combined. So hopefully, uh we can keep that
- 14:11Speaker 13: going where we can uh uh.
- 14:14Speaker 7: Not not give up.
- 14:14Speaker 13: Too many yards in the receiver. So in reality, I
- 14:17Speaker 13: think the defense might play their bigger role in this game.
- 14:20Speaker 13: And then then the offense and hopefully Dak can keep.
- 14:25Speaker 7: Going what he's doing.
- 14:26Speaker 13: What he's doing, and we I mean, like everybody else
- 14:29Speaker 13: been saying, we can figure out what we're gonna do
- 14:30Speaker 13: with the running game.
- 14:31Speaker 7: I'm not gonna.
- 14:31Speaker 13: Complain us talk too much about it because I know
- 14:34Speaker 13: everybody has a whole bunch to.
- 14:35Speaker 6: Say about that.
- 14:35Speaker 13: So I'm not gonna stay on long and I'll just
- 14:38Speaker 13: listen as I go.
- 14:39Speaker 1: All right, all right, appreciate the call. Sounds like brought
- 14:43Speaker 1: us like on his Wednesday and Thursday, you know, and
- 14:45Speaker 1: he breaks down the other team on the on the
- 14:47Speaker 1: break and uh, I mean nice Scott to report there. Lewis. Yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 1: you say that. You know he led the team in rushing.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Dressin Field, well, I mean Lamar does that sometimes, maybe
- 14:59Speaker 1: not this year with Derek doing what he's doing. Uh,
- 15:01Speaker 1: but but I mean justin Field is that type of
- 15:04Speaker 1: quarterback where you know, it's not like it's like, oh, well,
- 15:08Speaker 1: Dak led the team in rushing or Daniel Jones. I mean,
- 15:11Speaker 1: justin Fields can be a dynamic runner and so you know,
- 15:14Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to turn him, keep him in
- 15:17Speaker 1: the pocket of course, to keep him from running. Also,
- 15:19Speaker 1: you know he'll throw it to you if you if
- 15:23Speaker 1: he throws that many passes now he's doing a nice
- 15:25Speaker 1: job of hanging on to the ball. He has had
- 15:28Speaker 1: fumbled a couple of times, but he's but he's not
- 15:30Speaker 1: throwing a ton of interceptions. Maybe just one, I think
- 15:33Speaker 1: it was it was deflected, So he's he's done a
- 15:35Speaker 1: nice job there. They're gonna have to keep you know,
- 15:38Speaker 1: everything in the pocket and and be in you know,
- 15:40Speaker 1: stay true, uh to their reads and their keys because
- 15:44Speaker 1: you know, this is one of those games where you
- 15:46Speaker 1: just don't have those dynamic players. And I think they're
- 15:49Speaker 1: gonna have to to crank up some blitzes here. I mean,
- 15:52Speaker 1: make it make it different, make it different than what
- 15:54Speaker 1: they've seen, what Fields has seen, whatever he's looking at.
- 15:57Speaker 1: And that that's the one thing that's gonna be a
- 15:58Speaker 1: challenge for for for them. You know, they they're gonna
- 16:02Speaker 1: look at what tape are they looking at here? And
- 16:04Speaker 1: you know they're gonna look at the tape that has
- 16:06Speaker 1: Here's Parsons coming off the edge. Here's what d Law does.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Parsons moves over here. Now he's over here, Well, who
- 16:13Speaker 1: who's part They're not going to replace the Michael Parsons.
- 16:16Speaker 1: So I'm not saying it's like it's like gonna be
- 16:18Speaker 1: a disadvantage for them, but they're not going to really
- 16:21Speaker 1: have a good look of what the Cowboys are trying
- 16:24Speaker 1: to do because they're gonna be vastly different on and
- 16:27Speaker 1: I think you're going to see that in the blizzards
- 16:29Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Don't get me wrong. I'd rather
- 16:31Speaker 1: have I'd rather have the old old g's over there
- 16:34Speaker 1: with with you know, Mike and Tank. I'd rather have
- 16:38Speaker 1: that than than say, oh, you know, well, they don't
- 16:41Speaker 1: know what to prepare for. I mean, they'll figure it
- 16:43Speaker 1: out after the first three or four plays. So I'd
- 16:46Speaker 1: rather have the pass rusher, especially one that's one of
- 16:49Speaker 1: the best in the league. But you know, it is
- 16:52Speaker 1: what it is, and that that's one thing that maybe
- 16:55Speaker 1: they can help the Cowboys this week, is to to
- 16:57Speaker 1: kind of dial up a different blitz packages and schemes
- 17:01Speaker 1: and looks that we haven't seen before because they're forced
- 17:04Speaker 1: into that. All right, let's go to Robbie and Cocobete Florida.
- 17:09Speaker 12: Nick. How are you today, sir?
- 17:10Speaker 1: Robbie? How you doing?
- 17:12Speaker 12: I'm good. No hurricanes this week, so we're doing good.
- 17:15Speaker 12: You might have one next week again, I hope, I
- 17:19Speaker 12: hope Jake catches the past this week.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Oh thanks, I was like, I think I said Gates.
- 17:24Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah, Jacob, yeah, I hope, yeah,
- 17:27Speaker 1: we'll see actually thank and actually double by two weeks
- 17:31Speaker 1: in a row off so oh yeah. So well, yeah,
- 17:34Speaker 1: it's like mid season here. I don't know, but yeah, thank.
- 17:38Speaker 12: You though about yeah, of course about Cowboys. So I
- 17:42Speaker 12: know I've been dooming. I don't know about doom and gloom,
- 17:44Speaker 12: but I've been concerned about our run game and I've
- 17:46Speaker 12: been concerned about our defense.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Last in the league. You can be it's not doom
- 17:51Speaker 1: and gloomy. You don't have to be a bad fan.
- 17:53Speaker 1: They're last in the league, and I mean that that's bad.
- 17:57Speaker 1: It's been bad. It's been bad.
- 17:59Speaker 12: It's been horrible. Yeah. Okay, However, even with you know,
- 18:03Speaker 12: all of our starters out on defense, not all obviously,
- 18:06Speaker 12: but probably case On dron Blam still out Micah h Tank,
- 18:14Speaker 12: I think Mazie is going to step up and slow
- 18:16Speaker 12: the run game down. I don't think Justin Fields is
- 18:18Speaker 12: a good of a runner as every good of a
- 18:20Speaker 12: passer as he is a runner. Like you were just saying,
- 18:23Speaker 12: how dynamic is sure? And I think that our offense
- 18:26Speaker 12: comes alive and we actually get a run game this week,
- 18:28Speaker 12: and we're going to win this game. But just my
- 18:31Speaker 12: gut feeling, I think we're gonna like twenty seven thirteen
- 18:34Speaker 12: twenty seven twenty one.
- 18:37Speaker 1: It's a different game. That's that's that's different. That's two
- 18:41Speaker 1: different games right there.
- 18:42Speaker 6: Like that, I forgot about.
- 18:44Speaker 12: The defense for a second though.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Man, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, there's a lot
- 18:48Speaker 1: less fingernails on that second game twenty seven to twenty
- 18:50Speaker 1: one then on the first one. But I get what
- 18:52Speaker 1: you're saying. And I don't know. I kind of have
- 18:55Speaker 1: a sneaky feeling about this game too. I haven't picked it,
- 18:59Speaker 1: you know, am I look at the line. I mean
- 19:02Speaker 1: the line's two and a half.
- 19:03Speaker 12: I mean yeah, I mean you know it gets me.
- 19:06Speaker 12: I wish that the Steelers had won last week, and
- 19:08Speaker 12: I'd have given us percent chance.
- 19:11Speaker 1: I'm one thousand percent with you. I said that on
- 19:13Speaker 1: the radio show this morning, that I do if they
- 19:16Speaker 1: were four. Oh, I feel way better about picking the
- 19:18Speaker 1: Cowboys for this game.
- 19:19Speaker 12: But me too, me too.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, make that makes sense? It makes
- 19:23Speaker 1: sense to you and me.
- 19:24Speaker 12: Good enough, you got any stories about Romo that you
- 19:27Speaker 12: can tell unless you're too busy.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Stories on Romo, like yeah that all of us don't know.
- 19:33Speaker 12: Something cool that's funny.
- 19:35Speaker 1: You you want, Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm telling on air.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Either you pick, you pick. I'll give you two topics,
- 19:44Speaker 1: golf or flag football. Which one you want?
- 19:48Speaker 12: Oh? Flag football? Because it cuts into your son too
- 19:51Speaker 12: a little.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go, Chris Bean, let's go. All right,
- 19:55Speaker 1: all right, Robbie appreciate that.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Thanks.
- 19:57Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna tell this story and then we're
- 19:59Speaker 1: gonna go to break. So Romo's and some people may
- 20:03Speaker 1: know this story. So Chris and I are teammates with Tony.
- 20:08Speaker 1: All right, So his after his first season with the team.
- 20:12Speaker 1: So this is like I think it was his first season. Yeah,
- 20:14Speaker 1: this is like in two thousand and three, two thousand
- 20:16Speaker 1: and four. I think he played one year honestly, but anyways,
- 20:20Speaker 1: nobody knew who he was because he didn't really play. Uh,
- 20:23Speaker 1: we playing flag football. Just a bunch of people here
- 20:25Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, mostly with the Cowboys. We're playing in
- 20:29Speaker 1: the city wreck Ley, and you know, right down the street,
- 20:32Speaker 1: and we got Cowboys jerseys like the practice jerseys you know,
- 20:35Speaker 1: the Royal Blue and all that. We think we're cool.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I was like alignment. I really got to play. But
- 20:40Speaker 1: we had a pretty good team and a pretty good
- 20:42Speaker 1: quarterback who knows how to play flag football. But about
- 20:46Speaker 1: week three or four, I don't know who who got
- 20:48Speaker 1: the guy? It was you, all right, Well, we Chris
- 20:52Speaker 1: got Tony to come out and play with us. We
- 20:55Speaker 1: didn't call him Tony. We called them t because if
- 20:58Speaker 1: anyone did recognize him, probably not supposed to be doing that.
- 21:01Speaker 1: He comes in and starts playing. He was awesome, like
- 21:04Speaker 1: he should be. He was awesome. The quarterback, he was great,
- 21:08Speaker 1: or at the quarterback kind of got mad, and of
- 21:10Speaker 1: course I think he quit the team for a little
- 21:12Speaker 1: bit because he was, you know, he was kind of
- 21:13Speaker 1: pissed about it. Was great. On defense, he was intercepting passes.
- 21:18Speaker 1: He was awesome. I was blocking for Tony. It was
- 21:21Speaker 1: it was It was cool. We were great. We won
- 21:24Speaker 1: most of the games, I think, and we we won defeated,
- 21:26Speaker 1: went to the playoffs and Romo threw five picks in
- 21:31Speaker 1: the playoff game and we lost bad. Remember that we lost.
- 21:35Speaker 1: I mean like like we played a team. They were
- 21:38Speaker 1: all they were all like they all spoke Spanish and
- 21:42Speaker 1: and they were they are great flag football and they
- 21:45Speaker 1: had it all figured out. And I mean, we kept
- 21:47Speaker 1: on interceptions interceptions, and I was like, this guy's not
- 21:51Speaker 1: very good. Like he's never going to be in the NFL.
- 21:53Speaker 1: He's never going to be that good of a player. Yeah. Yeah,
- 21:55Speaker 1: face of the franchise for a decade. So sometimes you know,
- 21:57Speaker 1: you can't always figure that out. But but that was cool. Yeah,
- 22:00Speaker 1: that part of the story about oh in the playoffs.
- 22:03Speaker 9: Huh.
- 22:03Speaker 1: But anyways, he was he is an unbelievable athlete and
- 22:08Speaker 1: he was a great defensive player. But yeah, I remember
- 22:10Speaker 1: Chris was there. I was there. It was kind of fun.
- 22:12Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna go to break here on Cowboy storyline.

- 24:27Speaker 1: how are you good? How are you doing?
- 24:30Speaker 15: I'm doing good. I've called before. I have four sons.
- 24:35Speaker 15: My father in law is an Eagle fan, so we
- 24:38Speaker 15: have some fun with it. I'm actually coming down and
- 24:40Speaker 15: bringing all my sons down to the Lions game in a.
- 24:43Speaker 6: Couple of weeks, so it can be good.
- 24:46Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm looking forward to a little frustrated with sor
- 24:49Speaker 15: what's going on with the team. You know, it's a
- 24:51Speaker 15: big investment, you know, bringing everybody down. Oh yeah, But
- 24:55Speaker 15: at the end of the day, you know, And the
- 24:56Speaker 15: reason I called Usually I like to just listen. I
- 24:58Speaker 15: don't call in very often, but I figured I would
- 25:02Speaker 15: call in today because I'm a Mets fan. I'm a
- 25:05Speaker 15: Met cowboy fan, and the New York Mets were dead
- 25:10Speaker 15: in the water in late May. There were eleven games
- 25:13Speaker 15: under five hundred, and basically the entire fan base was
- 25:18Speaker 15: given up on them. They said, this is trash. You know,
- 25:20Speaker 15: I can't even watch this. And you know what they
- 25:22Speaker 15: did to turn their season around. You know, you don't
- 25:24Speaker 15: really know how or why or when it's going to happen,
- 25:27Speaker 15: but you know, the moral of this story is seeing
- 25:32Speaker 15: them get into the playoffs and then watching them in
- 25:34Speaker 15: the playoffs. Yesterday was just the reason you watch. It
- 25:39Speaker 15: was such a spectacular feeling. And you know, the Mets,
- 25:43Speaker 15: this was in sixty two years, this was the eleventh
- 25:46Speaker 15: time they've made the playoffs. So it's a special thing.
- 25:50Speaker 15: You know, It's something that I'm enjoying. And I'm looking
- 25:53Speaker 15: at the Cowboy game and I'm coming down and i
- 25:55Speaker 15: want them to win. But at the same time, it's
- 25:56Speaker 15: like you just never know. It's why we watched sports.
- 25:59Speaker 15: So that's the beauty of it. So that's all. That's
- 26:02Speaker 15: all I had to say.
- 26:03Speaker 9: I love the show.
- 26:04Speaker 15: I appreciate you taking my call. I want all the
- 26:06Speaker 15: fans out there to be like, you know what, it's
- 26:08Speaker 15: just a game, and when it does happen, it's special,
- 26:11Speaker 15: and you know you take it with you and that's
- 26:14Speaker 15: what you take away to clear.
- 26:15Speaker 12: That's it.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Thanks Nick, thank you. You're right. You know, you never
- 26:19Speaker 1: know how things are going to turn around, and and
- 26:22Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of season to be played.
- 26:25Speaker 1: You know you said that late May, well, I mean June, July, August, September.
- 26:31Speaker 1: I mean I did the math. That's probably about one
- 26:34Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen games that they still had to play.
- 26:38Speaker 1: So obviously they got a slow start in one hundred
- 26:40Speaker 1: and ten hundred and fifteen games to play a lot
- 26:43Speaker 1: of time in baseball to come back from whatever that
- 26:46Speaker 1: was eleven games or out or whatever. You know, is
- 26:49Speaker 1: this late May for the you know, the Cowboys season
- 26:55Speaker 1: a quarter of the way through or something like that,
- 26:58Speaker 1: probably probably about the same. I mean, I'm not doing
- 27:01Speaker 1: good math here. But you play one sixty two, you
- 27:04Speaker 1: got about one hundred and fifteen. It's about a quarter,
- 27:05Speaker 1: I guess something like that. So that seems about right.
- 27:09Speaker 1: That's about where we are here. This is late May
- 27:11Speaker 1: of a baseball season, and the Cowboys aren't aren't eleven
- 27:14Speaker 1: games out of hurt, you know, or even close to that.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I mean, they're two and two. They're a game back
- 27:19Speaker 1: from Washington in the NFC East and still trying to
- 27:21Speaker 1: figure themselves out. But this stretch here, this next four
- 27:26Speaker 1: games or so, it's gonna be really, really tough because
- 27:30Speaker 1: the teams they're facing are tough football teams, and the
- 27:35Speaker 1: Cowboys are hurt. They are banged up right now in
- 27:39Speaker 1: a bad way. They're banged up on defense at the
- 27:42Speaker 1: same position, their top two pass rushers, they're banged up.
- 27:47Speaker 1: The cornerbacks are hurt. I mean, Kayln Carson's happening to play,
- 27:50Speaker 1: but he's hurt, and then trying to get Deron Bland back.
- 27:54Speaker 1: They've got some injuries on offense that are gonna be
- 27:57Speaker 1: coming up here. They're gonna be banged up at receiver.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Then they need some receiver. So it's it's gonna be
- 28:03Speaker 1: it's going to be a really really tough next few
- 28:06Speaker 1: games for for this Cowboy team. All right, Alex in
- 28:10Speaker 1: South Bay, California.
- 28:13Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on?
- 28:14Speaker 15: Nick?
- 28:14Speaker 9: Long time?
- 28:14Speaker 6: No talk?
- 28:15Speaker 4: Hope all as well, Man, I just got a couple
- 28:17Speaker 4: of things for you. So when I called the very
- 28:20Speaker 4: first time when the show was getting on its feet,
- 28:22Speaker 4: it's obviously it's gone up and running now that it's
- 28:24Speaker 4: a great show now. And then then you guys are busy.
- 28:26Speaker 12: Yet I got through on the thirty.
- 28:27Speaker 4: Fifth call, so that so that says a lot. But
- 28:31Speaker 4: so when I first called, I gave you my random player.
- 28:33Speaker 4: I gave you my favorite player. If I could give
- 28:36Speaker 4: you my wrestlers really quick. Growing up as a kid, uh,
- 28:40Speaker 4: it was the British bulldog Davy boy Smith.
- 28:43Speaker 7: Uh.
- 28:44Speaker 4: And then as I got a little older, it wasn't
- 28:46Speaker 4: just one specific wrestler, it was a group of them.
- 28:49Speaker 4: U n w O that that that was my thing
- 28:51Speaker 4: with Sting and Hogan and all those guys.
- 28:53Speaker 12: That was great.
- 28:55Speaker 4: But then so obviously it's Steelers week. So I really
- 28:59Speaker 4: hope Mike McCarthy looks at the twenty sixteen film because
- 29:03Speaker 4: there's two plays that I hope he implements into the
- 29:07Speaker 4: offense and they're as successful. One would be if we
- 29:13Speaker 4: could get a screen passed to Deuce Vaughn and he
- 29:16Speaker 4: could take it to the house similar to what Zeke did,
- 29:18Speaker 4: because I know Zeke doesn't have the wheels to do
- 29:19Speaker 4: that anymore. So that would be one play, and then
- 29:23Speaker 4: the other would be a jet sweep to turfing, because
- 29:27Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, I think Lucky Whitehead had a
- 29:29Speaker 4: similar play that went for I don't want to say,
- 29:31Speaker 4: maybe twenty yards or so, and you know, just give
- 29:34Speaker 4: this offense some juice. Those are two fast guys that
- 29:37Speaker 4: I think if you give them the ball in open space,
- 29:40Speaker 4: they can do something with it. They just haven't done
- 29:42Speaker 4: it so far. And then last thing for you, Nick
- 29:45Speaker 4: is so I was listening to yesterday's show and Rob
- 29:48Speaker 4: called and he gave you that Jerry Jones question. You know,
- 29:52Speaker 4: what would Jerry, you know, what would you prefer? At
- 29:55Speaker 4: this point you had mentioned, oh, he'll take the super Bowl,
- 29:58Speaker 4: no questions asked, Like he would do that. He would
- 30:00Speaker 4: basically take his hands out or you know, get out
- 30:04Speaker 4: of the driver's seat, move into the passenger seat, and
- 30:06Speaker 4: win the Super Bowl with him not having so much
- 30:08Speaker 4: control as he does now. So my question to you
- 30:11Speaker 4: would be, well, why hasn't he done that? Then it's
- 30:14Speaker 4: been thirty years. Like whatever he's doing, the way he
- 30:16Speaker 4: has his hands gripped on this franchise and on every decision,
- 30:21Speaker 4: it hasn't worked into producing championships or producing you know,
- 30:28Speaker 4: not even not into their championship, at least the NFC championship.
- 30:31Speaker 4: So that's my question, why hasn't he maybe taken a
- 30:35Speaker 4: step back and let someone else take control of the range.
- 30:38Speaker 4: I appreciate Nick, I'll try to get back sometime soon,
- 30:40Speaker 4: but have a good.
- 30:41Speaker 1: One, thank you. Because he doesn't believe that that is
- 30:43Speaker 1: the best way for the business. He doesn't believe that
- 30:46Speaker 1: he needs to do that. He believes that he'll you know,
- 30:50Speaker 1: probably add you add help, and you add different voices,
- 30:53Speaker 1: different people, different coaches, different personnel. You do it a
- 30:57Speaker 1: different way. They're they're very you know, it's collective and
- 31:01Speaker 1: how they how they do things, and and and you
- 31:04Speaker 1: know he doesn't he doesn't make all of the decisions. Okay,
- 31:07Speaker 1: I mean he doesn't. It's been documented. Everyone knows that
- 31:10Speaker 1: he doesn't do that. Johnny Manziel would have been the
- 31:11Speaker 1: quarterback here or eight quarterback here and not Zach Martin
- 31:15Speaker 1: if he made all of the decisions, and there's a
- 31:18Speaker 1: lot of that kind of stuff he gets. He gets
- 31:20Speaker 1: a lot of input from other people and that's how
- 31:22Speaker 1: they operate things here. You know, he's the owner slash GM,
- 31:26Speaker 1: but you know it's done a different way. And the
- 31:29Speaker 1: reason why he hasn't changed it is because he doesn't
- 31:33Speaker 1: think that he has to do that. He doesn't think
- 31:36Speaker 1: that that's that that's the necessary thing. That's like with
- 31:39Speaker 1: any any owner or anybody, it's like, why have you
- 31:41Speaker 1: done that? Because that's the decision that they made. I mean,
- 31:43Speaker 1: he didn't have to didn't have to answer that. You know,
- 31:47Speaker 1: it's it's it's his call. But but if you think
- 31:49Speaker 1: he's the only one making decisions, then you're not really
- 31:51Speaker 1: really paying attention. So there's a lot of people. You know,
- 31:54Speaker 1: Will mcleagu gets a lot of credit for for a
- 31:56Speaker 1: lot of stuff that he's done rightfully. So so you
- 31:59Speaker 1: know he's they've that's how they've they've operated, they've done that,
- 32:03Speaker 1: they've drafted well, they've added you know, a good personnel,
- 32:05Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's it comes down to a
- 32:08Speaker 1: lot of things of why they they haven't won. But
- 32:12Speaker 1: I mean, then again, I mean, this team gets judged
- 32:15Speaker 1: on why they haven't won the Super Bowl. That's what
- 32:18Speaker 1: it comes down to, why they haven't won the Super Bowl.
- 32:22Speaker 1: All right, And then you said that about the screen,
- 32:24Speaker 1: you know, well, I mean, let's not forget they scored
- 32:26Speaker 1: a touchdown on a screen with with Rico and it
- 32:30Speaker 1: was a seventeen yard or fifteen yard or whatever. But
- 32:32Speaker 1: it was a nice play. And and it was one
- 32:35Speaker 1: that if they had more room they they might have
- 32:38Speaker 1: it might have been a bigger play. I mean, other
- 32:40Speaker 1: than just the touchdown it was. It was a nice,
- 32:42Speaker 1: really nice play for him. So all right, let's let's
- 32:46Speaker 1: go Jeff in Salt Lake City.
- 32:51Speaker 16: Hey, Jeff, it's been a while since I've talked to you,
- 32:55Speaker 16: but I've been listening.
- 32:57Speaker 7: I just wanted to I want to ask you a
- 32:59Speaker 7: quick question.
- 32:59Speaker 16: And then I'll it off the line because I know a.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Lot of people want to talk to you.
- 33:03Speaker 16: But with the the two rookies on the offensive line,
- 33:07Speaker 16: I mean, although Guidan's kind of been struggling, we knew
- 33:10Speaker 16: he was going to take his lumps. I'm I'm pretty
- 33:11Speaker 16: excited about them. And uh, Tyler Smith continued progress over
- 33:16Speaker 16: the last three years. But I just wanted to I
- 33:19Speaker 16: wanted your opinion in regards to the offensive line coach.
- 33:23Speaker 16: I know a lot of our linemen trained with Duke Mannyweather,
- 33:27Speaker 16: but I was wondering, do you do you feel that
- 33:29Speaker 16: since Jill Philbins left that the O lineman may the
- 33:34Speaker 16: lineman have regressed a little bit, such as Terrence Steele.
- 33:38Speaker 16: And I understand Zach Martin is getting a little bit older,
- 33:41Speaker 16: but usually it seems like old lineman seemed to age
- 33:45Speaker 16: well as they get into their thirties. So I just
- 33:48Speaker 16: wanted to know what your thoughts on that. With Solari
- 33:51Speaker 16: coming in change his styles, do you feel that there's
- 33:54Speaker 16: been any regression at all? And I'll take you I'll
- 33:56Speaker 16: take the answer off line and you have a good day.
- 33:58Speaker 6: Nick.
- 33:58Speaker 1: All right, thank you. You know, I don't think I'm
- 34:03Speaker 1: not saying that that it's perfect on the old line, Okay,
- 34:06Speaker 1: but let's just let's just break down the facts on that. Again.
- 34:10Speaker 1: I I'm not a fan one way or another on that.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I don't have a huge opinion about the old line
- 34:16Speaker 1: coach and all that. That's one area about blocking schemes
- 34:19Speaker 1: and you know, zone zone blocking, gap blocking, that's that's
- 34:24Speaker 1: not really my strength obviously, you know I didn't play
- 34:27Speaker 1: in the trenches like that. So but you're asking a
- 34:30Speaker 1: question on have the players you know, regressed at all
- 34:33Speaker 1: on the offensive line. So let's just just just break
- 34:37Speaker 1: it down. Since he got here, did Tyler's Did Tyrant
- 34:39Speaker 1: Smith regress? I don't think so. I mean, it's hurt,
- 34:43Speaker 1: played actually played a little bit better. You know, when
- 34:45Speaker 1: he got kind of healthy again, he showed that he
- 34:46Speaker 1: could still do it. Tyler Smith, his his career has
- 34:52Speaker 1: gone upward, and now he's you know, he's made an
- 34:55Speaker 1: All Pro in a Pro Bowl last year. I think
- 34:57Speaker 1: the oddish was about the same, you know, pretty good.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Zach Martin, Zach Martin's hart. I mean, if Zach Martin
- 35:03Speaker 1: has regressed, it's not because of the line coach. It's
- 35:05Speaker 1: because he's getting older and older and and but but
- 35:08Speaker 1: I still think he's he's great. And then Terrence Steel
- 35:11Speaker 1: got hurt and then came back halfway through last year.
- 35:14Speaker 1: He was he was banged up some you know, it
- 35:16Speaker 1: was not banged up, but he had the attorney a
- 35:18Speaker 1: cl that he was coming off of, and he just
- 35:20Speaker 1: it wasn't the same until about mid season and it
- 35:23Speaker 1: kind of clicked and I thought he played much better.
- 35:25Speaker 1: And you know, he's I don't think he's regressed. I really,
- 35:28Speaker 1: I really don't. He's he's your right tackle and it
- 35:31Speaker 1: gives up some plays, but he's pretty good in the
- 35:33Speaker 1: run game. If they can get that going, that's kind
- 35:35Speaker 1: of more his strength, I think too. So I wouldn't
- 35:38Speaker 1: say that the offensive line has regressed. I don't think.
- 35:42Speaker 1: But but it's just the same with the whole team.
- 35:45Speaker 1: It's like the standard and your offensive line is like,
- 35:47Speaker 1: well that nineties group you know, or even that group
- 35:50Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, fourteen, you know, fifteen, that those three Pro
- 35:54Speaker 1: bowlers you had, and it's not there. So when it's
- 35:58Speaker 1: not there, then like, what's the problem. And I know
- 36:00Speaker 1: the line coach gets gets the blame and and I'm
- 36:02Speaker 1: not saying he shouldn't, but I don't know about you
- 36:04Speaker 1: can say that they've regressed a lot from there. All right,
- 36:08Speaker 1: next caller, Travis? Is that right? We got Travis?
- 36:11Speaker 6: Yep?
- 36:12Speaker 9: Travis? And Pa? How are you doing?
- 36:13Speaker 1: How you doing? Is this first time?
- 36:15Speaker 9: First time caller?
- 36:19Speaker 1: Thank you?
- 36:20Speaker 9: I just I wanted to tell you, first of all,
- 36:23Speaker 9: thank you guys for all the show. They listen all
- 36:25Speaker 9: the time. I just had to sneak outside of or
- 36:27Speaker 9: to call. I never really get much of a chance,
- 36:28Speaker 9: but you make the experience much better.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Travis, appreciate that. What do you got
- 36:33Speaker 1: for us?
- 36:34Speaker 6: Oh?
- 36:34Speaker 9: For two things you have? You definitely have legitimacy too,
- 36:38Speaker 9: saying it would have been better if Steelers would have won.
- 36:40Speaker 9: Next week, we're going to the game and my best
- 36:43Speaker 9: friends coming with me. He's a he's a Steelers fan,
- 36:46Speaker 9: and he was hoping it would have lost last week
- 36:47Speaker 9: to the cool because we thought they would have had
- 36:49Speaker 9: a better chance. Okay, so there's definitely some legitimacy there
- 36:53Speaker 9: to that comment.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just a weird league. And and
- 36:56Speaker 1: you know that the more, the more that you win,
- 36:59Speaker 1: it's harder. You know, now you're the undefeated team. You know,
- 37:01Speaker 1: Vikings are going to see it, the Chiefs are been
- 37:03Speaker 1: seeing it. Great, So it's just you know, yeah, exactly.
- 37:10Speaker 9: I've only I've been to three games and we're going
- 37:12Speaker 9: this weekend. They've all been nobody. I've been to the
- 37:15Speaker 9: Buffalo Monday night. I've been to the Detroit a few weeks,
- 37:19Speaker 9: a few weeks or so after that, and then Steelers
- 37:22Speaker 9: in twenty sixteen. So they've all been all been good
- 37:24Speaker 9: games and this one should be too.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Oh man, well that's yeah, those are some good ones.
- 37:30Speaker 9: Yeah, I've had some experiences, I must say.
- 37:32Speaker 1: Yeah, you went to that good Buffalo game. Yeah that's all.
- 37:36Speaker 1: That's a great yeah. Well all right, well, well Travis,
- 37:40Speaker 1: hope hope that this is another good one for you.
- 37:42Speaker 1: And it'll be a fun experience there, fun game on
- 37:45Speaker 1: the night game. So stay safe, all right, don't get
- 37:50Speaker 1: don't get hit in the face with one of those towels,
- 37:52Speaker 1: you know, I mean I'll try not to and don't
- 37:55Speaker 1: grab it. Yeah yeah, yeah, that'll that'll be cool. Now
- 37:59Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of cabs there, all right.
- 38:00Speaker 9: Thinks there was probably thirty a pretty good show.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, every year. Thanks for the college, Travis. You know,
- 38:09Speaker 1: every every game that has been has played with an
- 38:14Speaker 1: AFC team, You know that it goes somewhere or NFC
- 38:17Speaker 1: AFC team where the road team, if they have any
- 38:21Speaker 1: kind of fan base at all, there's gonna be fans.
- 38:24Speaker 1: There's there's just it's always the case. And the Ravens
- 38:27Speaker 1: they had a lot of fans at the at the
- 38:29Speaker 1: Cowboy game, you know. I mean, it's just it's one
- 38:31Speaker 1: of those when you're the season ticket holder, if you
- 38:33Speaker 1: want to sell it, you you know, it's fine to
- 38:36Speaker 1: do that. But but these team, i mean Cowboys like
- 38:39Speaker 1: they they will be at this game and in Pittsburgh,
- 38:42Speaker 1: they'll be there, just like they were in Cleveland. There
- 38:45Speaker 1: was a lot of Cowboy fans there in Cleveland. It's
- 38:47Speaker 1: just the way it is. It's the way it goes
- 38:49Speaker 1: in the NFL now, and that's the way it should be.
- 38:53Speaker 1: You know, just because you moved to another city. Used
- 38:57Speaker 1: to be you've got moved, you know, in the seventies
- 38:59Speaker 1: or eighty. He's like, well, this is my team now,

- 39:04Speaker 1: gonna root for the box or whatever. It's not the

- 41:02Speaker 1: We got Chris and San Angelo, Texas. What's up Chris?
- 41:06Speaker 8: Hey, not much hope you're doing well today, mister McK
- 41:10Speaker 8: uh pretty good last time I checked.
- 41:13Speaker 6: All right, there you go.
- 41:16Speaker 8: Hey, Uh, let's see, I missed about the last four
- 41:19Speaker 8: shows live, so last night I went back and you know,
- 41:23Speaker 8: re listened just so I wouldn't be mister repeater and
- 41:26Speaker 8: and just and just oh by the way, you uh
- 41:30Speaker 8: you powered through Friday show really well, so uh that
- 41:36Speaker 8: that I know what you're probably going through on that one.
- 41:38Speaker 1: So yeah, I was like, what happened Friday? Oh yeah, two.
- 41:41Speaker 8: Hours exactly exactly. So I hope we're all back on track.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good.
- 41:48Speaker 8: Okay, good all. I have one thing. There's gonna be
- 41:53Speaker 8: a player or a player that's going to really really
- 41:57Speaker 8: step it up on defense. And I say that because
- 42:01Speaker 8: they kind of have to, you know.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Yeah, And so.
- 42:05Speaker 8: Who do you think that player might be? I have
- 42:11Speaker 8: an idea. Okay, I know it's not the right position,
- 42:16Speaker 8: but I'm looking at the Marvin over Shown. It's just
- 42:20Speaker 8: stepping it up because he kind of has the makeup
- 42:24Speaker 8: of what I would consider a superstar player who could
- 42:29Speaker 8: wreck a game. So I think we're just gonna need
- 42:32Speaker 8: that kind of thing from him. See what you've thought
- 42:35Speaker 8: about that? Yeah, and if you had somebody.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, now, thanks Chris, you know over shown. Yeah,
- 42:44Speaker 1: because he would be great. It'd be great to be
- 42:46Speaker 1: that for him to be that guy, because he does
- 42:49Speaker 1: have those traits that you're talking about. He can run
- 42:52Speaker 1: sideline the sideline, he can make plays, forceful impact type
- 42:55Speaker 1: to plays. Sometimes those plays lead to turnovers. He actually
- 42:59Speaker 1: had one. I think if they would have called that
- 43:03Speaker 1: a fumble on the field, I think they might have
- 43:07Speaker 1: kept that as a fumble. I don't know if you
- 43:08Speaker 1: remember there's a pass that round the left flat right
- 43:11Speaker 1: in front of the Giants sideline or running or maybe
- 43:13Speaker 1: when the pass member was a run, but I know
- 43:14Speaker 1: that he chased it down and I thought for sure
- 43:18Speaker 1: I had a bet with Derek in the press box
- 43:19Speaker 1: that they were going to call that a fumble, and
- 43:22Speaker 1: initially they did. Then they said on the field that
- 43:24Speaker 1: it wasn't and then they'd have to overturn it. But
- 43:28Speaker 1: but I think if they would have just called that
- 43:29Speaker 1: a fumble and then they the Giants would or they
- 43:31Speaker 1: would have had to overturn it, I don't know if
- 43:33Speaker 1: it would have it would have it was it was
- 43:35Speaker 1: the ball was definitely moving coming out. My point was
- 43:37Speaker 1: he made a great play and and those type of
- 43:39Speaker 1: players usually lead the turnover. So fine, if he's the guy,
- 43:43Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be someone else, though.
- 43:45Speaker 6: So.
- 43:47Speaker 1: What about a guy? I mean, I I just have
- 43:49Speaker 1: a feeling Carl Lawson's gonna step it up, but he's
- 43:51Speaker 1: on the practice squad right now. I feel like he
- 43:54Speaker 1: might do something. So Lawton Golston would be great somebody
- 44:01Speaker 1: on that D line is going to have to do it.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Maybe it's Marshawn Nieland, but it needs to be I'm
- 44:05Speaker 1: Overshown was already expected to do great things. They need
- 44:08Speaker 1: someone else. Now he's still going to be out there.
- 44:10Speaker 1: They need someone to take his place, all right. Nico
- 44:14Speaker 1: in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Nico, what's up?
- 44:18Speaker 6: What's going on? Nick? How you doing, Buddy? I hope
- 44:22Speaker 6: the family as well. Thank you, and again I can't
- 44:26Speaker 6: compliment you enough on all your work and what you
- 44:29Speaker 6: do for us. We really appreciate it. Thanks to Derek
- 44:32Speaker 6: as well for that. Okay, real quick, I don't have
- 44:34Speaker 6: a question, but I have a story, a fast one,
- 44:38Speaker 6: and then a take, and then I'm off. Here it
- 44:40Speaker 6: is with stories. I'm going to take you back to
- 44:43Speaker 6: nineteen ninety six. It was our Super Bowl year we
- 44:47Speaker 6: were playing. Obviously if it's Burge Steelers. Now, half my
- 44:50Speaker 6: family is Cowboy fans, the other half is Steeler fans,
- 44:53Speaker 6: with the one exception my father, who is a Viking fan.
- 44:56Speaker 6: We don't talk to him AnyWho. That night. I will
- 45:00Speaker 6: never forget this. I was twelve years old. We won
- 45:02Speaker 6: our fifth Super Bowl before the Steelers won their fifth
- 45:05Speaker 6: Super Bowl. So for a while, my family hated the
- 45:09Speaker 6: Cowboys side, always saying we got our five before years. Well,
- 45:12Speaker 6: they got their sixth before us, and they have never
- 45:15Speaker 6: turned back and they keep going and they're powerful, so
- 45:17Speaker 6: are the other teams. Anyways, the fun story about that
- 45:20Speaker 6: is my uncle and my mother got into such a
- 45:24Speaker 6: heated fight that we had the cops called on us.
- 45:26Speaker 6: My uncle and my mom were both taken to jail.
- 45:28Speaker 6: How about been Cowboys?
- 45:30Speaker 1: God? Okay here, yeah, yeah, okay, here's one story. Fun story,
- 45:36Speaker 1: Mom's and handcuffs. All right.
- 45:40Speaker 6: Hey, you've heard me before. I told you I'm that
- 45:42Speaker 6: fan man. I was born twelve nine eighty four. My
- 45:44Speaker 6: mom wouldn't push until we got the TV in there.
- 45:47Speaker 6: I guess to watch Cowboys Redskins.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Nice.
- 45:51Speaker 6: Anyways, here's my take, Cowboys fans, You guys knows just
- 45:55Speaker 6: as well as I do. Jerry Jones and the Jones
- 45:57Speaker 6: family isn't going anywhere. We're going to have to suck
- 46:02Speaker 6: it up. There's nothing any of us can do. Boycottie
- 46:05Speaker 6: ain't gonna help. Not buying jerseys ain't gonna help, because
- 46:08Speaker 6: none of that's going to matter. We are America's team
- 46:11Speaker 6: for a reason, and that's mostly because of the Jones
- 46:15Speaker 6: family continues to shove the star down everybody's throat because
- 46:19Speaker 6: we are the hot topic. That's not our fault, that's
- 46:22Speaker 6: just what it is. But with that said, hear God,
- 46:25Speaker 6: when mister Jones leaves and steps down, then mister Stephen
- 46:29Speaker 6: Jones is gonna come in Gowboy fans, I got sad
- 46:32Speaker 6: news for you. It ain't gonna get any better. He's
- 46:36Speaker 6: the one that's doing the same thing as mister Jones.
- 46:38Speaker 6: Doesn't pull the trigger, doesn't do anything, and that's what
- 46:42Speaker 6: makes us miserable. Nick, think about it. Thirty years I
- 46:45Speaker 6: was twelve years old. I'm forty Now, we're miserable, we're heated.
- 46:50Speaker 6: Do something for us, give us. You said this a
- 46:52Speaker 6: couple of years ago, Nick, and I'll never forget it,
- 46:54Speaker 6: and it was the greatest thing you've ever said, one
- 46:56Speaker 6: of the greatest things you've ever said. Give the fans
- 47:00Speaker 6: something to be happy about. And right now none of
- 47:04Speaker 6: us are happy. Prediction, we're gonna get the holy hell
- 47:07Speaker 6: kicked out of us in Steelerland. I think it's gonna
- 47:11Speaker 6: be a blowout. Forty two twelve. I still will say,
- 47:15Speaker 6: let's go Cowboys. Let's get rowdy.
- 47:20Speaker 1: How how can those two sentence, those two sentences go
- 47:24Speaker 1: back to back like that? That was the most upside
- 47:27Speaker 1: down call I've ever had on here. Like I mean,
- 47:31Speaker 1: when you think it's going one way and then another,
- 47:34Speaker 1: I think the cowboy, he says, I think the Cowboys
- 47:36Speaker 1: are going to get the holy hell kicked out of
- 47:39Speaker 1: them forty three to twelve to the Steelers. Let's go Cowboys,
- 47:45Speaker 1: Let's get rowdy. Make that make sense. I don't know
- 47:50Speaker 1: the whole thing, Like, give us something to be excited about.
- 47:53Speaker 1: I can't help you. If the super Bowl is your
- 47:57Speaker 1: is your ultimate goal, it doesn't matter one way or another.
- 48:00Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, it's like the teenager that's like
- 48:03Speaker 1: I have to have a BMW for my first car.
- 48:06Speaker 1: If I don't, if then then I don't want anything.
- 48:09Speaker 1: That's what it feels like, Like I get it, Like
- 48:11Speaker 1: that's the ultimate goal, but nobody's winning it this year.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Get excited about the game coming up, and unless you
- 48:17Speaker 1: predict a forty three to twelve loss. If you do,
- 48:19Speaker 1: then I can't help you there. But hey, I don't
- 48:21Speaker 1: tell anybody how to be a fan. I don't understand
- 48:23Speaker 1: that that call got me all messed up. I didn't
- 48:26Speaker 1: know that that went from left to right. That's like
- 48:28Speaker 1: one of those that's a different kind of roller coaster
- 48:31Speaker 1: right there. Hey, do you though that's cool? Thanks for
- 48:34Speaker 1: the call, Wally in New York. I'm sorry we got
- 48:37Speaker 1: to go really quickly here, Wally. What's up man?
- 48:40Speaker 8: Hey?
- 48:41Speaker 9: Nick pig fan, first time caller.
- 48:43Speaker 5: Just a quick point, Adam, any interests or no?
- 48:47Speaker 7: What do you think?
- 48:48Speaker 1: I think he plays for the Raiders, and and and
- 48:52Speaker 1: we we don't we we don't talk about other players
- 48:56Speaker 1: on other teams, do the do? I think the Cowboys
- 49:00Speaker 1: have interest in getting a wide receiver help. I think
- 49:04Speaker 1: they would have some interest in a wide receiver. I
- 49:07Speaker 1: don't know if it would be one like him, but
- 49:10Speaker 1: I think that they're gonna need some help here. It's
- 49:12Speaker 1: got to make sense more than this year. So you know,
- 49:15Speaker 1: if if there's other guys out there that are their
- 49:18Speaker 1: their contracts are you know, expiring, So if they're gonna
- 49:22Speaker 1: if they're gonna give up next year's draft capital, I
- 49:25Speaker 1: think for them, they're gonna want it to be somebody
- 49:27Speaker 1: that they can have next year, or at least makes
- 49:30Speaker 1: sense to go and resign. But receiver help makes some
- 49:34Speaker 1: sense because you need two good ones, you need two
- 49:37Speaker 1: great ones. And Brandon Cooks is on the last year
- 49:39Speaker 1: if he's deal anyways, and he hasn't been great great,
- 49:42Speaker 1: So yeah, you signed CD. But but to make this
- 49:45Speaker 1: thing really work you need another guy. So again I'm
- 49:47Speaker 1: not talking about specific players. That guy you mentioned will
- 49:52Speaker 1: probably get traded to someone else and then wal be called.
- 49:55Speaker 1: They'll get calls on here about why didn't the Cowboys
- 49:57Speaker 1: do that or whatever. But but I I think the
- 50:00Speaker 1: Cowboys might be looking at somebody at least some help
- 50:04Speaker 1: to get in here at wide receiver. But again, it
- 50:07Speaker 1: needs to make sense more than just these next twelve
- 50:10Speaker 1: games or so. Down down the line a little bit.
- 50:13Speaker 1: I guess there's thirteen games left anyways. All right, twelve
- 50:16Speaker 1: calls today, good stuff, a lot of stories, a lot
- 50:19Speaker 1: of a lot of good memories, a lot of talk
- 50:20Speaker 1: about the Steelers and Cowboys, Romo and all this good stuff.
- 50:23Speaker 1: All right, you guys were good, appreciate it. Thanks for everyone.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Thank you to Chris Beam forgetting us on the air.
- 50:30Speaker 1: And we will see you tomorrow. We'll be talking more
- 50:32Speaker 1: Cowboys than Steelers on Cowboys storyline beer, We'll see you tomorrow.
