- 0:11Speaker 3: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman.
- 0:20Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. I'm Nick Eatman. Here.
- 0:23Speaker 1: It's time to talk some Cowboys and Panthers as they
- 0:26Speaker 1: get ready for another road game. See if they can
- 0:29Speaker 1: go back and win on the road. They've been pretty
- 0:31Speaker 1: good this year on the road. It's that at and
- 0:33Speaker 1: T Stadium that's been a problem, but that's for another time.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on the Panthers. Record is not great over
- 0:41Speaker 1: there in Carolina, but they're playing better. It looks like
- 0:44Speaker 1: they're playing better, at least playing some competitive games. The
- 0:47Speaker 1: last five games have been decided by twelve points, I believe,
- 0:51Speaker 1: so everything's close down to the wired, doesn't matter who
- 0:53Speaker 1: they play. See if the Cowboys can can stay in
- 0:57Speaker 1: it and figure out a way to win that and
- 0:59Speaker 1: get two sixth victory eight five five two two nine
- 1:04Speaker 1: seven is the number to call. We already got a
- 1:06Speaker 1: couple of callers on the line, so let's don't make
- 1:09Speaker 1: them wait any longer. Let's get after it. Michael and
- 1:11Speaker 1: Bowling Green, Kentucky's first Michael, what's up.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Well, Dick.
- 1:15Speaker 5: I hope you and your family and Chris and his
- 1:19Speaker 5: family having a good Christmas season. I hope y'all have
- 1:23Speaker 5: a hope y'all have a good Christmas Eve and a
- 1:25Speaker 5: good Christmas. Don't forget about Christmas, Adam, you know when
- 1:29Speaker 5: that is, don't you know? Just December twenty third day
- 1:33Speaker 5: before Christmas Eve.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Never my life, I've never heard that.
- 1:39Speaker 5: In my life. You never heard that Christmas Eve.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I have never heard that. I get it, clever, you
- 1:48Speaker 1: have now hi interesting Christmas? Adam?
- 1:51Speaker 5: Yeah, ye, all right, all right. So I just got
- 1:56Speaker 5: a few things and then I want to predict the score.
- 2:01Speaker 5: I heard a great philosopher Jagger. He said, you can't
- 2:05Speaker 5: always get what you want. So right now we might
- 2:10Speaker 5: not be getting what we want, but you know, things
- 2:14Speaker 5: never stay the same, so you know we're gonna we're
- 2:17Speaker 5: gonna get back. The philosopher Eatman said, you can't tell
- 2:25Speaker 5: fans how to fan, and the philosopher Prescott said, if
- 2:29Speaker 5: you don't like the way it's going, just jump off.
- 2:32Speaker 5: So I just for the you know, the fans who
- 2:35Speaker 5: are complaining, you can't tell them how to fan. It's
- 2:39Speaker 5: like they can't tell me how to fan. I've been
- 2:41Speaker 5: with it one in fifteen. I've been to Super Bowl
- 2:46Speaker 5: eight and eights, the five and twelve. I've never decided
- 2:50Speaker 5: I might jump off. But hopefully if they if people
- 2:55Speaker 5: do you know, and they go for Houston or Kansas
- 2:59Speaker 5: City or whatever, maybe when Dallas starts getting good, they'll
- 3:02Speaker 5: come back. Hopefully they won't leave. But I've just heard
- 3:06Speaker 5: a lot of grumbling, and you know, the game Monday,
- 3:10Speaker 5: I got mad at the end of the game, but
- 3:13Speaker 5: before I went to bed, I was over it. I
- 3:15Speaker 5: was appreciating how good they're doing and how much better
- 3:19Speaker 5: they're playing, and how the defense is doing good, and
- 3:23Speaker 5: the run game, and I just try to stay optimistic,
- 3:26Speaker 5: all right, But and the score, I'm gonna go Dallas
- 3:31Speaker 5: twenty eight Carolina three. I've been to three games in
- 3:36Speaker 5: Carolina against the Cowboys, and I'm two. I'm two and
- 3:41Speaker 5: three that I've seen one loss. They lost the playoff
- 3:45Speaker 5: game in Carolina with Barry Switcher was the coach.
- 3:49Speaker 1: All right, Michael, appreciate the call. Trying to throw some
- 3:53Speaker 1: optimistic points out there. I'm not really sure everything you're saying.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Two and one I believe is a record if you
- 3:58Speaker 1: have three games, but any good stuff. Irene in fall Search,
- 4:02Speaker 1: Virginia is next, Irene, good morning.
- 4:06Speaker 6: I'm glad Michael called and I knew he was going
- 4:08Speaker 6: to call in on that point from last night. Anyway,
- 4:12Speaker 6: I had to call today today, so today would have
- 4:15Speaker 6: been my dad's eighty second birthday. And he's the reason
- 4:17Speaker 6: I'm a Cowboys fan. He's the reason no matter what
- 4:20Speaker 6: this team does, no matter what embarrassingly they come up
- 4:23Speaker 6: to fall flat on their face, I will never abandon them.
- 4:26Speaker 6: So shout out to all the dads, moms, uncles, aunts,
- 4:29Speaker 6: whoever made a fan. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's
- 4:32Speaker 6: a curse. It's fine, it's great.
- 4:35Speaker 3: You know.
- 4:36Speaker 6: He actually passed away the summer before the twenty sixteenth season,
- 4:39Speaker 6: So it's fitting we're playing Carolina this week because this
- 4:42Speaker 6: season reminds me so much of twenty fifteen. I remember
- 4:47Speaker 6: how much hopem we both had, even though I was
- 4:49Speaker 6: a huge Romo fan, and he was urged by him
- 4:52Speaker 6: a lot that Okay, Romo's gonna come back.
- 4:55Speaker 7: It's all going to be good.
- 4:56Speaker 6: We'll go on a run. We got this because the
- 4:58Speaker 6: team was competitive. We're sort of seeing in this little
- 5:02Speaker 6: run right now, and it's just this one. It's not
- 5:07Speaker 6: mathematically really possible. And it was helpful that the division
- 5:11Speaker 6: was so terrible in twenty fifteen and I thought, hey,
- 5:14Speaker 6: all we need is like eight wins. But anyway, I
- 5:17Speaker 6: just wanted to call that say, you know, on my
- 5:19Speaker 6: dad's birthday, say hey, we're still here. We're watching it
- 5:23Speaker 6: because of those people who gave us this team, and
- 5:25Speaker 6: we'll see what they do against Carolina. I can't believe
- 5:28Speaker 6: we're underdogs, but this is where we're at. Anyway, have a.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Good one, all right, thank you too. Yeah, I'm kind
- 5:37Speaker 1: of surprised, surprised a little bit about being underdogs in
- 5:40Speaker 1: that game, but hey, is what it is. They're playing
- 5:44Speaker 1: better and the Cowboys really aren't well, I mean playing better,
- 5:50Speaker 1: but not necessarily. You know, the wrecords not that much different,
- 5:53Speaker 1: and I understand what that is. I'm curious to see
- 5:57Speaker 1: what the crowd will be like there with the other
- 6:00Speaker 1: will be like there. It feels like it's gonna be
- 6:03Speaker 1: pretty cold. See if the Cowboy fans come out, and
- 6:08Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what Carolina's fan base is
- 6:11Speaker 1: looking like right now. I mean, I mean, it's never
- 6:13Speaker 1: been that strong. I mean, they trying to get the
- 6:15Speaker 1: number one pick. They they're not they're not probably that
- 6:18Speaker 1: close for that, but they're they aren't gonna be you know,
- 6:21Speaker 1: top five, top seven. Cowboys aren't not that much better
- 6:25Speaker 1: than that. All right, let's go to Gavin in Oklahoma
- 6:27Speaker 1: City's our next caller.
- 6:28Speaker 8: Gavin, what's up, man?
- 6:30Speaker 1: How are you doing?
- 6:31Speaker 8: I'm good. I've been busy and I'm gonna be busy tomorrow.
- 6:35Speaker 8: So that's my one chance to call this week, So
- 6:37Speaker 8: bear with me. I got a few questions.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's all right.
- 6:42Speaker 8: Well, first prayers up to Demo. That that breaks my
- 6:45Speaker 8: heart because when I played football, I had a similar
- 6:49Speaker 8: injury to that, not quite as bad, and I didn't
- 6:51Speaker 8: come back the same. And I hate to see anybody
- 6:54Speaker 8: go through that. But I have confidence that he's different.
- 6:56Speaker 8: I think I think he's gonna come back strong. Another
- 7:00Speaker 8: tragic thing about that is I don't necessarily think the
- 7:03Speaker 8: narrative that will go is that he's injury prone is true,
- 7:06Speaker 8: because I think obviously any player gets injured in that
- 7:10Speaker 8: freak situation. I don't think injury prone is the right
- 7:13Speaker 8: thing for him. I think he's just tragically unlucky, you
- 7:15Speaker 8: know what I mean.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's hard to tell this early on.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I mean two injuries, but you know, I mean like
- 7:24Speaker 1: Shawn Lee over the course of his career, then you
- 7:27Speaker 1: would say, yeah he was and same with you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: Leyton vander USh and that you know that. That's why
- 7:35Speaker 1: it's it's tough when you're playing linebacker, because you know,
- 7:38Speaker 1: linebacker is one of those what makes you great is
- 7:41Speaker 1: your speed and your athleticism or whatever it is that
- 7:44Speaker 1: you know the mismatch, but also you are if you're
- 7:47Speaker 1: really good, you might be undersized as well. There's only
- 7:50Speaker 1: a few Ray Lewis Is out there in the world.
- 7:52Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's not uncommon to see these linebackers
- 7:58Speaker 1: that that when they're healthy, they're great. But they're not
- 8:01Speaker 1: always healthy. And there's a reason why.
- 8:03Speaker 8: Right, And he also flies everywhere obviously, and so that
- 8:07Speaker 8: maybe he is injury prone. But I just don't feel
- 8:10Speaker 8: like his body is necessarily easy to break down. It's
- 8:13Speaker 8: just the wrong place, wrong, Tom.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I have a story. I have a story I'll tell
- 8:17Speaker 1: you after after your call, after the call, I'll tell
- 8:19Speaker 1: a story about uh my interaction with overshown yesterday. I'd
- 8:24Speaker 1: love to hear yeah, yeah, maybe a little bit of
- 8:26Speaker 1: insight of what everybody's fearing. This is. This is I
- 8:30Speaker 1: think a good one. But well, you've got another question,
- 8:32Speaker 1: or you said, yeah, I.
- 8:34Speaker 8: Got a couple, I got a couple more. I'm gonna
- 8:36Speaker 8: try to row another thing with McCarthy. I agree that
- 8:43Speaker 8: I think it's time to move on, but I have
- 8:45Speaker 8: a different reasoning than what other people might have. I
- 8:49Speaker 8: feel like the inexcusable part of this season for McCarthy
- 8:52Speaker 8: is is just not being ready to first half of
- 8:56Speaker 8: the season. I feel like the team didn't think they
- 8:58Speaker 8: were ready and they weren't comfort in in their game plan.
- 9:01Speaker 8: I feel like that's inexcusable because you have to be
- 9:03Speaker 8: ready to go because these games are important. You see
- 9:06Speaker 8: now why early in the season is so important, because
- 9:08Speaker 8: everything is falling apart. I do like that the locker
- 9:12Speaker 8: room is still with him and that he hasn't lost
- 9:14Speaker 8: the locker room. Also, what you were saying yesterday about
- 9:18Speaker 8: he was doing a lot of guessing, well, they're going
- 9:20Speaker 8: to think this, so I'm going to do this. I
- 9:21Speaker 8: completely agree. That's exactly what I was thinking when you
- 9:24Speaker 8: were talking about that he probably did three passes in
- 9:27Speaker 8: a row because he's behind on first down trying to
- 9:29Speaker 8: trick somebody, and then he just thought he had to pass,
- 9:31Speaker 8: you know, to get out of that. Not that I
- 9:33Speaker 8: agree with that, but he's not a great play caller.
- 9:36Speaker 8: I think if you do keep them, you got to
- 9:38Speaker 8: get a new play caller. That's my opinion on him.
- 9:41Speaker 8: I think he's a good coach, but these guys got
- 9:45Speaker 8: to be ready earlier in the season, and I don't
- 9:48Speaker 8: think that's been a problem to this season. I'm not
- 9:50Speaker 8: sure what happened there. Maybe it's because it's a young team. Yeah,
- 9:53Speaker 8: that's the only thing I can think of. All right.
- 9:56Speaker 8: My last little thing is U Cooper Rush. I think
- 10:03Speaker 8: the one thing you thought Cooper Rush would do better
- 10:06Speaker 8: than Dak is get the ball down the field. Or
- 10:08Speaker 8: that's what I thought. And I know he's got a
- 10:11Speaker 8: backup offensive line. I understand that there were times last
- 10:14Speaker 8: night where I think he had time to throw the
- 10:17Speaker 8: ball down the field, and it's just like, we can't
- 10:19Speaker 8: push the ball down the field. I think if we
- 10:21Speaker 8: push the ball down the field, we win that game.
- 10:24Speaker 8: Our defense was playing good enough. I know that big
- 10:28Speaker 8: play happened and that's really what ended up ultimately costing
- 10:32Speaker 8: us the game, But you could have put yourself in
- 10:33Speaker 8: a better situation before that. Yeah, I feel bad for
- 10:36Speaker 8: twenty seven, but that can't happen. That's the last thing
- 10:39Speaker 8: I'll say that can't happen. But I kind of feel
- 10:43Speaker 8: bad for the dude. I'm sure some other people have
- 10:45Speaker 8: said that too, But.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as a you know, as a human being,
- 10:49Speaker 1: I mean, you definitely feel bad for anybody that's like
- 10:53Speaker 1: lost the game or you know, it felt like you
- 10:56Speaker 1: lost the game just that play, that play you know
- 11:00Speaker 1: they had to play, and it's very rare if that happens.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Gavin and all the points you
- 11:05Speaker 1: made there, you know, And so yeah, you feel bad
- 11:09Speaker 1: for any person that deals with that, But you know,
- 11:14Speaker 1: at the same time, yeah, you're right, it can't happen,
- 11:18Speaker 1: and you have to understand the rules there and understand
- 11:21Speaker 1: you know, understand the you know, the and and the
- 11:24Speaker 1: coaches and I'm sure you know it's not coached up
- 11:28Speaker 1: every single day, but you know it's coached up and
- 11:32Speaker 1: people know it. And you know, I'm not putting that
- 11:34Speaker 1: one on the coaches. I've heard that, and I'm not
- 11:38Speaker 1: not going there with that, that that's a play, that
- 11:40Speaker 1: that he's a veteran, he should know that. He does
- 11:43Speaker 1: know that. And that's what makes it worse. Cooper Rushia, Right,
- 11:47Speaker 1: I thought he would throw the ball down the field
- 11:49Speaker 1: a little bit more, a little bit better. I put
- 11:52Speaker 1: that some on him. Also, you know these guys getting
- 11:57Speaker 1: separation down the field. I mean, I don't really see
- 11:59Speaker 1: guys just flying by the defense wide open all the time.
- 12:05Speaker 1: That's that's part of his operation really hasn't been great.
- 12:07Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you my story about Demo yesterday
- 12:11Speaker 1: at the at the lunch area and he's got two
- 12:15Speaker 1: you know, he's got his crutches on it, he's got
- 12:17Speaker 1: hands on both of them. He's getting food. So I
- 12:21Speaker 1: was I thought he might need some help just because
- 12:23Speaker 1: the guy's handing him his food. But he ended up
- 12:25Speaker 1: getting a bag and you know, he's he was good.
- 12:27Speaker 1: And I talked him a little bit and I told
- 12:29Speaker 1: him about this show. I told him, I said, hey,
- 12:32Speaker 1: I do a show with a lot of the fans
- 12:33Speaker 1: and that's all they're talking about is, you know, just
- 12:35Speaker 1: sending prayers to you and you know, disappointed for you.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And he said, you know, I appreciate that there's a
- 12:42Speaker 1: lot of fear that you know that that you're maybe
- 12:46Speaker 1: not gonna be making it back. And he looks he
- 12:47Speaker 1: looked at me, and he said, hey, don't count me out.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I promise you this. I promise you this. Don't count
- 12:53Speaker 1: me out. Whatever they're thinking, whatever you guys think, when
- 12:55Speaker 1: I'll be back, I'll be back sooner than you think.
- 12:57Speaker 1: I promise you that. So that was the as all
- 13:00Speaker 1: that said. I believed him. I was like, yes, sir,
- 13:03Speaker 1: like I he you know, he had me and and
- 13:07Speaker 1: I and I believe that. You know, I think that
- 13:10Speaker 1: sometimes mind over matter, uh is true, and you can't
- 13:15Speaker 1: just you know, just say this is not karate kid.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Mister Miyagi doesn't come in and just like, you know,
- 13:20Speaker 1: fix everything. I'd be cooler if he did. But I
- 13:24Speaker 1: still think that that the power of the mind is
- 13:27Speaker 1: a strong thing. And I think that he will. He
- 13:29Speaker 1: will come back, you know, quicker than than some people
- 13:33Speaker 1: are expecting.
- 13:34Speaker 8: Uh.
- 13:35Speaker 1: And I bet his goal is to is to come
- 13:37Speaker 1: back and play next season. So I'll tell you what.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I wouldn't count most players out, certainly not counting him out.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Anthony and Miami we don't count him out either, Anthony,
- 13:45Speaker 1: what's up.
- 13:48Speaker 9: Quick?
- 13:48Speaker 10: What's up? My guy?
- 13:49Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 13:51Speaker 10: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, I was having
- 13:53Speaker 10: a pretty much after that game. It was, which was
- 13:56Speaker 10: good wrenching, but the guy gave they're all but the demo.
- 14:01Speaker 10: It hit me hard because and that's a nice segue
- 14:04Speaker 10: you just had. I had that injury. I had that injury.
- 14:09Speaker 10: I had an injury in nineteen eighty seven. I tore
- 14:11Speaker 10: three ligaments in under the ACL. Can't know if it
- 14:14Speaker 10: was the mcl PC or LCO. So I thought before
- 14:19Speaker 10: I heard you say that, And I'm glad I was
- 14:21Speaker 10: messing up early because I'm on the road and I
- 14:23Speaker 10: was going through wooded area and I had to call
- 14:25Speaker 10: back so to hear that. I don't feel as bad
- 14:29Speaker 10: because look, you're looking at that guy. I don't know him.
- 14:33Speaker 10: You guys see him. I don't know his you know.
- 14:36Speaker 10: I just just football answers on the field and all
- 14:38Speaker 10: that and the positivity and jumping around and all that.
- 14:41Speaker 10: I believe he can and you can't. It's a serious injury.
- 14:44Speaker 10: I had to kneed reconstruction. So and I wasn't that
- 14:47Speaker 10: good or whatnot. And I was done with school, so
- 14:49Speaker 10: that was that for me. But for him, you know,
- 14:52Speaker 10: I think he'll he'll do it, and I think maybe
- 14:54Speaker 10: miss the whole season, maybe, but twenty six I think,
- 14:58Speaker 10: you know, he'll be back and he'll be ready man,
- 14:59Speaker 10: and I w want to see him with Michael my
- 15:01Speaker 10: new number one. Yes, Michael has taken over from that.
- 15:04Speaker 10: It's my number one. I love that guy. Yes, I
- 15:07Speaker 10: will support that still. I supported him since he's been
- 15:10Speaker 10: in the league. He was my favorite. I defended him
- 15:12Speaker 10: on every every end. But Michael Man his passion for
- 15:17Speaker 10: the game and people will say, well, you could say
- 15:20Speaker 10: all that, but he didn't get anything. He wasn't no statistics,
- 15:25Speaker 10: as I always say, what that guy does and the
- 15:27Speaker 10: havoc he reached out on that field for everybody else
- 15:30Speaker 10: and if he had a helified in or defensive tackle
- 15:33Speaker 10: to help him, then them totals will be what they're
- 15:36Speaker 10: supposed to be. Last, but not least three guys, Nick,
- 15:41Speaker 10: I gotta keep and you know me, I stay on
- 15:43Speaker 10: course with the game at hand, but I gotta say
- 15:46Speaker 10: that Rico, Turpin and Box I am super impressed dumb guys.
- 15:52Speaker 10: And I know there's some kind of free agents some
- 15:54Speaker 10: kind of way or whatever. I just need them guys back.
- 15:57Speaker 10: I need them guys to help the capital this week.
- 16:00Speaker 10: I hope the cop was mentally a ready, So I
- 16:02Speaker 10: gotta I got a twenty three nineteen Go Cowboys.
- 16:07Speaker 1: All right, all right, Anthony, appreciate it. Yeah. I think
- 16:14Speaker 1: going back to to Demo and and you know that
- 16:17Speaker 1: that sucks that you had that same injury and you
- 16:19Speaker 1: can relate, and you know, it's different. It's I would
- 16:24Speaker 1: think it's a lot different, you know, for especially that
- 16:28Speaker 1: was a long time ago. But but also you know,
- 16:30Speaker 1: it depends on on your resources too, you know. Of
- 16:34Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have injuries like that.
- 16:37Speaker 1: I've heard, you know, people say they play pick up
- 16:39Speaker 1: basketball and they get hurt and all that. You know,
- 16:41Speaker 1: they don't have a team dedicated to getting them ready,
- 16:45Speaker 1: you know, knocking on their door and saying, hey, let's
- 16:47Speaker 1: go eight o'clock in the morning, let's do the rehab,
- 16:49Speaker 1: let's go. You know, it's it's different. I mean, this
- 16:52Speaker 1: is their job to get these guys back, and so
- 16:55Speaker 1: you know, rehabs are different across the board, you know,
- 16:58Speaker 1: and and players the positions are different too, even NFL players.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You know what it takes to get to Terrence Steel
- 17:04Speaker 1: back and get you know, Michael Gallop back, get Demo back.
- 17:09Speaker 1: A little bit a little bit different in timetables, but
- 17:12Speaker 1: he's done it, and he's done it before. This might
- 17:14Speaker 1: be a little bit you know, more challenging. But I
- 17:17Speaker 1: don't think he's ready to say twenty twenty six at all.
- 17:21Speaker 1: And that that's not the vibe that I got yesterday.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the vibe that he was saying
- 17:25Speaker 1: was I'll be back, I'll be back, I'll be back,
- 17:28Speaker 1: ready to play. And I think his goal is for
- 17:30Speaker 1: next year. So and from what I was told, he
- 17:34Speaker 1: was already talking to Britt Brown about that walking off
- 17:38Speaker 1: the field, off the field like you know, still to
- 17:42Speaker 1: the life and he can't understand why he can't get
- 17:44Speaker 1: a cart while he's gonna walk all the way. But whatever,
- 17:49Speaker 1: And he was already talking about about the rehabit, let's go,
- 17:53Speaker 1: let's get it. Looks like we're gonna do this again.
- 17:54Speaker 1: So you know, his his mindset is just unbelievable. It's
- 17:59Speaker 1: it's it's it's really really refreshing. And even in situations
- 18:03Speaker 1: like that, I believe this. The people, the fans that
- 18:07Speaker 1: are down and discouraged by this, are feeling worse than
- 18:11Speaker 1: he is about the own situation. That's just kind of
- 18:14Speaker 1: the way it is, and that's why I think he'll
- 18:15Speaker 1: be back sooner than we think. Sebastian and Savannah, let's
- 18:18Speaker 1: go to Sebastian next.
- 18:20Speaker 11: Good morning, mister even how are we doing today?
- 18:22Speaker 1: Great? How are you?
- 18:24Speaker 11: I'm doing real good, doing real good, just driving home
- 18:27Speaker 11: all right. Well, in the words of Brian brought us,
- 18:29Speaker 11: the NFL is a strange lady, and this has been
- 18:32Speaker 11: quite the season. But before I get into the football side,
- 18:35Speaker 11: I just want to say, man, as always, I appreciate
- 18:37Speaker 11: this show on the platform that you have so much.
- 18:40Speaker 11: It's been so cool hearing some of the old guys
- 18:42Speaker 11: calling and so many new voices this year.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:45Speaker 11: I really just enjoyed this show, guys, and everybody who
- 18:48Speaker 11: calls in. I appreciate you guys as well. To the
- 18:51Speaker 11: football side of things, and Ao, I want to say
- 18:53Speaker 11: his name correct, Amani Olier. I believe he honestly was
- 18:58Speaker 11: trying to catch the ball and protect himself. There was
- 19:01Speaker 11: a guy standing right in front of him and you
- 19:03Speaker 11: can see him duck forward as he's trying to catch
- 19:05Speaker 11: the ball to drop to the ground, So he wasn't
- 19:07Speaker 11: being like selfish and trying to run it in. It's
- 19:10Speaker 11: just an oblong shaped ball and sometimes it takes a
- 19:12Speaker 11: weird bounce. But something that a lot of people won't
- 19:15Speaker 11: admit about that game is that that might have been
- 19:18Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy's best called game of the season. You had
- 19:22Speaker 11: thirty one passes. Now I might have taken two of
- 19:24Speaker 11: those passes and given those two to the running back
- 19:29Speaker 11: and seeing as if he could have gut a couple
- 19:30Speaker 11: more yards on that, especially that first one. But the
- 19:33Speaker 11: one knots that I might give him is that he
- 19:35Speaker 11: doesn't dumb down the playbook when Cooper Rush is in
- 19:38Speaker 11: the game. He's calling plays that I feel like are
- 19:41Speaker 11: plays that are better for Dak Prescott to run then
- 19:43Speaker 11: for Cooper resta run. He is a backup quarterback, and
- 19:46Speaker 11: he played like a backup quarterback. He was okay, he
- 19:49Speaker 11: had two touchdowns, he had one interception, But that game
- 19:51Speaker 11: by Mike was actually pretty well caught. They had motion
- 19:55Speaker 11: that we've been asking about since the beginning of time
- 19:57Speaker 11: that worked. We were getting guys wide open, having you know,
- 20:01Speaker 11: mischoose from the quarterback and the receivers and the tight ends,
- 20:03Speaker 11: but it wasn't on the receivers that the quarterback just
- 20:05Speaker 11: doesn't have the arm talent for it. But I very
- 20:08Speaker 11: much did enjoy that game. As far as the upcoming game,
- 20:11Speaker 11: I've done this got report on North Carolina. They're playing better,
- 20:14Speaker 11: but they're just looking better and still losing. So it's
- 20:17Speaker 11: still a game that's winnable. Who knows how the rest
- 20:20Speaker 11: of the season is going to play out, but it's
- 20:21Speaker 11: been an entertaining season, even for all the mythshafs that
- 20:24Speaker 11: we have. And of course, in the Marvin Overshawn's case,
- 20:28Speaker 11: I hope for a miraculous healing and I hope that
- 20:30Speaker 11: he can get back in his time table because I
- 20:33Speaker 11: know he's going to work and do everything that he
- 20:35Speaker 11: has to. Oh my god, I left my keys of
- 20:37Speaker 11: the warehouse, but I gotta go. I left my keys
- 20:38Speaker 11: in my warehouse.
- 20:39Speaker 8: Uh, thanks so much, all right.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Thank you. You know that that that call that you
- 20:47Speaker 1: know that he just made. I mean, it's kind of
- 20:49Speaker 1: like it reminds me of McCarthy's game that he was praising,
- 20:53Speaker 1: you know, great job McCarthy did this, did this, But
- 20:57Speaker 1: maybe he could have done this and this different. It's
- 21:00Speaker 1: the same same with you, Sebastian. You know you're doing
- 21:03Speaker 1: great driving and all that, and then you left your
- 21:05Speaker 1: keys in the warehouse. You know, it's always something. It's
- 21:07Speaker 1: always something that keeps it from being perfect. Sure, everything
- 21:11Speaker 1: will be fine there, hope you find those keys. But
- 21:15Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I agree with a
- 21:17Speaker 1: great call. I thought there were some some good things.
- 21:20Speaker 4: You know.
- 21:20Speaker 1: The ironic part of it all is what have we
- 21:22Speaker 1: been saying so many times here, start the game, better
- 21:25Speaker 1: start the game, Go score touchdown to start the game,
- 21:29Speaker 1: or come out of the locker room in the third
- 21:30Speaker 1: quarter and its score touchdown. And they did both. They
- 21:35Speaker 1: did both. They scored to start the game, touchdown, come
- 21:38Speaker 1: out in the third quarter, touchdown, and that was it.
- 21:42Speaker 1: That was the only touchdowns they had. But so, you know,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I thought, I thought there were some nice things in there.
- 21:48Speaker 1: There were some things. I think we all, you know,
- 21:50Speaker 1: agree that they could have done a little bit better.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Let me let me go to break here on Cowboys

- 24:32Speaker 14: I can make it work and recover on the low
- 24:34Speaker 14: So we'll we'll figure it out. We'll figure it.

- 24:55Speaker 8: Probably he won't, but it's.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Okay though we know that, you know, let's see we
- 24:59Speaker 1: can find a man uh and and uh we can
- 25:02Speaker 1: donate some some uh cls here a you know there
- 25:06Speaker 1: we go.
- 25:09Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, they're crucial.
- 25:13Speaker 5: They're crucial, all right, crucial to success.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Yeah, we're really I don't know why we're making jokes
- 25:18Speaker 1: of this, not not not funny at all, but but
- 25:20Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to say, and I appreciate
- 25:22Speaker 1: the gesture.
- 25:22Speaker 14: There no no, but for real, thank you for sharing
- 25:24Speaker 14: those little insight span. It's it's great to hear the
- 25:27Speaker 14: hope and optimism. It tells you about the man and
- 25:30Speaker 14: player he is. I'm believing that he's going to come back.
- 25:32Speaker 1: And it's against what they want us to do. They
- 25:35Speaker 1: don't want us to really, they don't want a lot
- 25:37Speaker 1: of interaction between players and and uh and you know
- 25:40Speaker 1: and staff they're you know, at the same training table.
- 25:44Speaker 1: But it happens, you know, it happens. And especially when
- 25:47Speaker 1: the guy's like sitting there on crutches and they're handing
- 25:49Speaker 1: him something. The guy's just handing it to him and
- 25:51Speaker 1: he's kind of sitting there like.
- 25:52Speaker 3: This, like.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Do you have a bag? So it was funny.
- 25:57Speaker 8: But you know, it worked out.
- 25:59Speaker 1: He's such a good dude.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 26:01Speaker 14: Yeah, Two more quick things. One, we always make sure
- 26:07Speaker 14: we're not telling people how to fan, but I'm telling
- 26:10Speaker 14: you what, man, whether you're in or out or whatever,
- 26:12Speaker 14: this season looks like one thing Dallas Cowboy fans are
- 26:16Speaker 14: not is undedicated. I mean we stick through thick and thin.
- 26:21Speaker 14: We're in the national spotlight. I'm here in Atlanta, I
- 26:23Speaker 14: hear it from all the other transplants who live here,
- 26:27Speaker 14: the Falcons fans and Carolina fans this week, Mercy, it's annoying.
- 26:31Speaker 1: They exist. They exist in Atlanta, Carolina.
- 26:34Speaker 8: They do, they do.
- 26:35Speaker 14: I know two that live here might be the only
- 26:38Speaker 14: two in the state. But yeah, I mean, we're we
- 26:42Speaker 14: get it from all directions as far as the hate,
- 26:45Speaker 14: and it takes a lot of stomach that and stick
- 26:47Speaker 14: through it. And so you know, we might be delusional,
- 26:51Speaker 14: but we are not undeedicated. And then third again, looking
- 26:56Speaker 14: ahead at the Panthers, we had a gentleman, maybe a
- 27:02Speaker 14: not a great title for him, but Greg Hardy had
- 27:05Speaker 14: a moment on our team and had some noteworthy things
- 27:09Speaker 14: that happened while he was here. Can you talk about
- 27:12Speaker 14: him any interactions, what that was like in the locker
- 27:15Speaker 14: room following some of those emotional games. And with that,
- 27:19Speaker 14: I'll hang up, thank y'all.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I'm going to pass now. I'm going to pass on
- 27:26Speaker 1: Greg Hardy stories. I've got one. I've got a really
- 27:31Speaker 1: good one, but I'm not sharing it on the on
- 27:34Speaker 1: the the air, and no, I'm okay. I mean it
- 27:40Speaker 1: was the twenty fifteen season. He's a he's a really
- 27:44Speaker 1: good player. But that's where it ended with him and
- 27:50Speaker 1: teammate No, not so much, but but you know, it
- 27:53Speaker 1: was hard to block and but it was also hard
- 27:57Speaker 1: to predict what he was going to do and where
- 27:59Speaker 1: he was going to be and how he's going to
- 28:01Speaker 1: act and that kind of stuff. But that was kind
- 28:04Speaker 1: of a dysfunctional year. And and I, of course I
- 28:09Speaker 1: documented it in my third book. Uh that season, of
- 28:13Speaker 1: all the seasons to pick, you know, it ended up
- 28:16Speaker 1: being that one. But anyways, Uh yeah, I mean you're right,
- 28:22Speaker 1: Cowboys fans are dedicated. They you know, the show is
- 28:26Speaker 1: a is an example of that, especially in a season
- 28:29Speaker 1: like this. This show is an example of the dedication
- 28:32Speaker 1: of the fans, and I appreciate it. We couldn't do
- 28:34Speaker 1: it without you. All right, let's go to Bill in Deerfield, Kansas.
- 28:39Speaker 15: Missed Treatman. How are you doing good?
- 28:41Speaker 1: How are you?
- 28:42Speaker 7: Oh?
- 28:42Speaker 8: Not too bad?
- 28:44Speaker 15: I just want to give kudos to Brock Kauffman kJ Bass.
- 28:48Speaker 15: I thought they played an excellent game. I really I
- 28:52Speaker 15: really like what they're doing. But for some reason, I
- 28:55Speaker 15: missed the play where Cooper Bebee got hurt. I know
- 28:59Speaker 15: he went out of the game, come back in and
- 29:01Speaker 15: then went out again. But I missed how he what
- 29:06Speaker 15: happened where he got the concussion.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I really haven't seen it either, to be honest with you,
- 29:12Speaker 1: I haven't seen a replay of that. I think I
- 29:16Speaker 1: dismissed it. Once he came back, it was like, Okay,
- 29:19Speaker 1: we got ding. W came back, and then came back
- 29:21Speaker 1: from the halftime. It was like, well, now he's out,
- 29:24Speaker 1: So don't know what happened in halftime or you know,
- 29:26Speaker 1: he probably just got it checked again and not sure
- 29:30Speaker 1: what the situation was there, you know, and and what
- 29:33Speaker 1: the play. I have not seen that play, so but yeah,
- 29:38Speaker 1: didn't seem like it. Well, I say it didn't affect him.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I mean, there was a few blitzes there that the
- 29:44Speaker 1: Cincinnati dialed up there and got got home. But but
- 29:48Speaker 1: for the most part, from the running game, they ran
- 29:50Speaker 1: the ball well in the first half, ran it well
- 29:51Speaker 1: in the second half. So yeah, you're right to your point,
- 29:54Speaker 1: hopping the bass did a nice job in there.
- 29:57Speaker 15: Yes, sir, they absolutely did. So I'm gonna keep it
- 30:00Speaker 15: short and sweet, and I believe we're gonna win this week.
- 30:06Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it well, hoping that they do win.
- 30:11Speaker 1: But it'll be you know, it'll be one of those
- 30:14Speaker 1: where I think they've got to match the intent. I
- 30:18Speaker 1: mean that's in every game, but they got to match
- 30:20Speaker 1: intensity here because it does feel like Carolina's playing they're
- 30:23Speaker 1: playing to win. They they you know they're getting closse
- 30:26Speaker 1: they're getting close. They've lost three in a row, but
- 30:29Speaker 1: you can you know that they're playing well. And it's
- 30:32Speaker 1: a little different too, when you've got a young quarterback
- 30:35Speaker 1: that is in a second year. Earlier in the season,
- 30:37Speaker 1: there's a lot of doubt, like is he even the guy?
- 30:40Speaker 1: And Bryce Young I'm talking about it feels like, Okay,
- 30:43Speaker 1: now he's back, his stats are getting better, looking better,
- 30:46Speaker 1: this is the future and and so it's something to
- 30:50Speaker 1: get excited about for them. They want to see him
- 30:52Speaker 1: have success. So I feel like they probably think, hey,
- 30:55Speaker 1: we're getting closer. We're getting closer, gonna beat these Cowboys
- 30:58Speaker 1: this week. Know we definitely gonna be thing. We can
- 31:00Speaker 1: play like this against the Chiefs, against the Eagles, would
- 31:02Speaker 1: definitely beat the Cowboys. I guarantee. That's the mindset, that's
- 31:05Speaker 1: the focus. Try to go out there win it. And
- 31:08Speaker 1: you know, Cowboys have to match that just like it
- 31:10Speaker 1: is every week. You got to go out there and
- 31:12Speaker 1: match that intensity. It's going to Robin Vegas bron what's
- 31:19Speaker 1: up man?
- 31:21Speaker 4: Hey?
- 31:21Speaker 7: Nick?
- 31:21Speaker 4: How are you good?
- 31:23Speaker 5: How are you?
- 31:25Speaker 4: It's a bad day to be a Cowboys fan.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Nick, bad day or year?
- 31:31Speaker 4: Bad day, bad year, bad, but really a bad day.
- 31:35Speaker 8: Uh.
- 31:36Speaker 4: Bill Belichick is not going to be the head coach
- 31:41Speaker 4: of the Dallas Cowboys. And I think that was the
- 31:44Speaker 4: guy they.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Needed to fix this team.
- 31:49Speaker 4: And now I have Stephen Jones already lying to the
- 31:54Speaker 4: fans for next year saying, you know, we're probably not
- 31:57Speaker 4: gonna have any money. Things are going to be and
- 32:01Speaker 4: yet we know that's not true. We know you can
- 32:05Speaker 4: make moves and free up ninety to one hundred million dollars.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Why would you add that on top of this terrible year.
- 32:15Speaker 4: Why are you already putting that out there for next year?
- 32:19Speaker 8: What?
- 32:20Speaker 4: Why would he do that?
- 32:21Speaker 1: Because I'm sure he got asked the question or I
- 32:25Speaker 1: don't know, I don't remember seeing this. But but that's
- 32:28Speaker 1: that's been the reality the whole time, is that we
- 32:31Speaker 1: I mean, we've all said it on here. It's bad
- 32:33Speaker 1: this year, it's worse next year. That's the reality.
- 32:36Speaker 4: It's not But Nick that's a lie. It's not it's not.
- 32:40Speaker 4: They could redo contracts and free up ninety to one
- 32:45Speaker 4: hundred million dollars. That is a fact.
- 32:49Speaker 1: You can sell your house right now and make you
- 32:51Speaker 1: get a lot of money for it. But what you
- 32:53Speaker 1: still have to do something with that? I mean like
- 32:55Speaker 1: that you can anybody can get money.
- 32:57Speaker 4: That's well, wait a second. If you have the ability
- 33:01Speaker 4: to free up money like that, A, why wouldn't you?
- 33:08Speaker 4: And B? We know this, this is the internet. We
- 33:13Speaker 4: have Dylan who is great at this, and it's like,
- 33:19Speaker 4: why would you put that out there with four games
- 33:23Speaker 4: to go this year? Why would you put that out
- 33:26Speaker 4: there for the fans to say? What are you talking about?
- 33:29Speaker 7: We know?
- 33:31Speaker 6: Not true?
- 33:31Speaker 1: All right, we're going to do this, We'll do this.
- 33:34Speaker 1: How do they freeing up money? How are they freeing
- 33:36Speaker 1: I mean like, what are those movies you're talking about
- 33:38Speaker 1: that you can free ninety million? Like freeing up the
- 33:40Speaker 1: money for the captain.
- 33:41Speaker 4: Already doing with Dak because they're built in you know,
- 33:45Speaker 4: the world years with Dak in CD. I think that
- 33:47Speaker 4: frees up like forty million dollars. I could be wrong.
- 33:50Speaker 4: I know Dylan is better at it, but I but
- 33:54Speaker 4: I know, we've gone over this so many times and
- 33:56Speaker 4: I've I've watched it from other people on on TVs.
- 34:01Speaker 4: They have the ability to free up between ninety and
- 34:03Speaker 4: one hundred million, right, and so I just don't understand
- 34:08Speaker 4: why you would come out and say I don't know
- 34:12Speaker 4: And now is this a strategy against Micah already? Is
- 34:17Speaker 4: this the you know, Micah, we just may not have
- 34:20Speaker 4: the money. Is that what he's already trying to do
- 34:23Speaker 4: to the best player on your team, one of the
- 34:25Speaker 4: best players in the league, who was patient, who waited
- 34:28Speaker 4: for Dak, wait for CD.
- 34:31Speaker 10: What do you want to do?
- 34:31Speaker 4: You got to force this guy to sit out?
- 34:34Speaker 8: Now?
- 34:35Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't understand after this year being
- 34:39Speaker 4: so bad, that you already are putting a bad taste
- 34:43Speaker 4: in them out for next year. And that's the problem.
- 34:47Speaker 4: What the business model of this team is awful? I
- 34:51Speaker 4: hear how good of a businessman Jerry Jones is, but
- 34:55Speaker 4: not with the Dallas Cowboys. But thirty years you've been unsuccessful.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Yeah it, Rob, let me tell you something. You what
- 35:03Speaker 1: you're saying is freeing up this money? You know, it's
- 35:06Speaker 1: not freeing it up. It's pushing. It's pushing that's what.
- 35:10Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how if you have
- 35:12Speaker 4: the who cares four years from now? If you have
- 35:16Speaker 4: the ability, this is four years from now.
- 35:19Speaker 1: They did it four years ago. This is four years
- 35:21Speaker 1: from now. They pushed it, pushed it to now.
- 35:23Speaker 8: Now.
- 35:23Speaker 1: You want to keep doing the same thing, and you
- 35:24Speaker 1: want to blame the model. This is what it is.
- 35:27Speaker 4: The model's been bad. Put you go in chips all
- 35:31Speaker 4: and I love how the chips are all in the
- 35:33Speaker 4: middle of the table. We'll do it. Go win if
- 35:37Speaker 4: you get me a Super Bowl next year, and then
- 35:41Speaker 4: we're not as good for trees. Every fan on earth
- 35:45Speaker 4: would say, okay, because we haven't done anything for thirty years.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Yeah, they've done that.
- 35:50Speaker 7: Problem.
- 35:51Speaker 1: They did that.
- 35:51Speaker 4: They pushed it in success.
- 35:53Speaker 1: They pushed the chips in to win the last three years,
- 35:56Speaker 1: but they lost in the playoffs. They lost.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Nick. You keep doing to Jerry's an oil man. You
- 36:02Speaker 4: keep drilling the well, Oh this will don't work. I
- 36:05Speaker 4: move over here. You keep going just like that, these
- 36:09Speaker 4: teams do you just do this. The whole reason to
- 36:12Speaker 4: have the ability to do these contracts the way they
- 36:14Speaker 4: do them is to free up money like this, and
- 36:17Speaker 4: if you're not going to use it. You're wasting our time.
- 36:20Speaker 4: What are you doing? You can't you don't take the
- 36:23Speaker 4: money with you. Let's go. The whole reason you did
- 36:26Speaker 4: some of these deals was to free up money. It's available.
- 36:29Speaker 4: We know it's available, Okay, don't lie to us and
- 36:32Speaker 4: tell us it's not.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I disagree. I don't. I don't think it does. I
- 36:35Speaker 1: don't think it is. And I think that they have
- 36:38Speaker 1: pushed that they have, But you don't think they.
- 36:40Speaker 4: Don't think they could free up ninety to one hundred Yes.
- 36:42Speaker 1: I think they could free up ninety to one hundred million,
- 36:45Speaker 1: but they also have twenty three Okay, all right, Rob, thanks, thanks,
- 36:50Speaker 1: you're right.
- 36:51Speaker 10: You're right.
- 36:51Speaker 1: They can free up ninety million. They could, they could,
- 36:55Speaker 1: but you also have twenty four unrestricted free agents though,
- 36:58Speaker 1: so you have to I mean, you can free money,
- 37:00Speaker 1: but that you also have to field a roster. You
- 37:02Speaker 1: have to field a roster. And that's that's what they're
- 37:04Speaker 1: trying to I am. I'm not sitting here and saying
- 37:06Speaker 1: that every move that they've they've done is right. But
- 37:09Speaker 1: but this is this is a plan that all teams
- 37:12Speaker 1: are doing. Teams are doing this. I think what everybody
- 37:16Speaker 1: is forgetting about the term all in? Is that is
- 37:21Speaker 1: that that they think that Jerry was thinking this year
- 37:26Speaker 1: is we're playing poker and I'm going all in. What
- 37:30Speaker 1: he said, I've said this one hundred times. What he
- 37:32Speaker 1: has said was we are all in. Okay. It's just
- 37:37Speaker 1: not one of those quick poker games. This is what
- 37:39Speaker 1: they've been playing for. And this has been a three
- 37:42Speaker 1: year poker game, all right. And this year, this year
- 37:46Speaker 1: is the river cart. This year they've been pushing, pushing, pushing,
- 37:51Speaker 1: and this year, because they've been doing it, this is it.
- 37:55Speaker 1: This is when we need the ace. What happened? They
- 37:58Speaker 1: didn't get it. It's been like a two of clubs, okay,
- 38:01Speaker 1: and that's that's what it's been. And the injuries whatever
- 38:05Speaker 1: are some of it. But they have been pushing to
- 38:08Speaker 1: this point. This is it. The coach has one is
- 38:11Speaker 1: the last year of his deal. Dak was on the
- 38:13Speaker 1: last year, CD Zimmer. All of this is all pushed
- 38:17Speaker 1: to right here. This is it's got to happen. We've
- 38:19Speaker 1: been doing it for two or three years now. It's
- 38:21Speaker 1: got to happen. The Cowboys have been doing this. They've
- 38:26Speaker 1: been pushing it in to go win. They were twelve
- 38:29Speaker 1: and five, three years in a row, they did not win.
- 38:32Speaker 1: They got close, they got they're very competitive, but it
- 38:35Speaker 1: didn't work. So the window to go win was these
- 38:38Speaker 1: last three years and maybe some of this year. It
- 38:41Speaker 1: just didn't. It just didn't work. So I don't think
- 38:43Speaker 1: Steven's sitting there and lying to and saying, you know,
- 38:47Speaker 1: I think if Steven went out and said, hey, next year,
- 38:50Speaker 1: we're gonna have all these opportunities, we're excited about it,
- 38:52Speaker 1: he's being a realistic about it. Next year is even
- 38:55Speaker 1: more of a challenge than this year. You cannot keep
- 38:58Speaker 1: pushing pushing, You can't keep taking out loans all the
- 39:02Speaker 1: time and then just think God that it's fine. At
- 39:04Speaker 1: some point you gotta pay it. At some point the
- 39:06Speaker 1: bill comes. And that's what this is. And I don't
- 39:09Speaker 1: understand why people, I mean, I get why not everybody
- 39:13Speaker 1: understands it. But that's just the philosophy that people use
- 39:15Speaker 1: all the time. You know, when it comes to money
- 39:17Speaker 1: and finances, you can't just keep pushing, pushing, pushing, and
- 39:20Speaker 1: it's never gonna come back. I'm gonna go to break
- 39:23Speaker 1: here real quick on Cowboys storyline, be right back.

- 40:55Speaker 1: go visit the stardistrict dot com for more details. All Right,
- 41:00Speaker 1: Rob got me all fired up there talking about contracts
- 41:04Speaker 1: and things like that. And again, I don't. I don't
- 41:07Speaker 1: have all the answers when it comes to it. I
- 41:09Speaker 1: know y'all don't either, I mean, and the reason why
- 41:12Speaker 1: is because you know, everything is very fluid. Salary cap
- 41:15Speaker 1: is fluid. Yes, you can create money, you can do that.
- 41:18Speaker 1: You can you can be creative. I think the Cowboys
- 41:21Speaker 1: have done that. I think they have been creative to
- 41:23Speaker 1: kind of get to this point. But you know, if
- 41:26Speaker 1: you there's there's a reason when when Dak Prescott signed
- 41:31Speaker 1: his deal for forty million dollars a year, was that
- 41:36Speaker 1: three years ago? The first year he counted like six,
- 41:40Speaker 1: The second year counted like eighteen. Again, you're averaging forty
- 41:44Speaker 1: million a year and your first win is six and
- 41:46Speaker 1: the next one's eighteen. At some point it's gonna be
- 41:49Speaker 1: fifty five and sixty and all that, and that's what happened.
- 41:53Speaker 1: That's why they kind of got into it. And then
- 41:54Speaker 1: you resign him again. Now he's sixty year, he's not
- 41:56Speaker 1: counting sixty million this year. So yes, you can keep pushing, pushing,
- 42:00Speaker 1: but you keep pushing a deal. I mean Philadelphia is
- 42:03Speaker 1: doing the same thing right now with Jalen Hurts. I
- 42:04Speaker 1: don't know his deal is fifty five or whatever that
- 42:07Speaker 1: he's not counting fifty five, but in three years he's
- 42:09Speaker 1: going to count ninety eight million or whatever it is
- 42:11Speaker 1: on the cap. They're obviously going to change that and
- 42:13Speaker 1: push it. But when that happens, though, something else is
- 42:18Speaker 1: going away. You know, you can't keep doing that like
- 42:21Speaker 1: like eventually it comes back. And that's what's happening this
- 42:26Speaker 1: year and next year. I think the Cowboys will continue
- 42:28Speaker 1: to be creative. There's a lot of free agents out there,
- 42:31Speaker 1: but you got to hit. You got to hit on
- 42:33Speaker 1: these draft picks. You got to hit on these young guys.
- 42:35Speaker 1: You when you make moves and you give up a
- 42:37Speaker 1: fourth round pick for Mingo, he better hit, you know.
- 42:40Speaker 1: And so we'll see how it goes again. I'm not
- 42:43Speaker 1: saying I'm you know, I've got the answers to the
- 42:46Speaker 1: salary cap. It's not an easy thing to understand, but
- 42:51Speaker 1: it's and I think what Rob is saying is is
- 42:55Speaker 1: we're already struggling this year. Why would you have to
- 42:58Speaker 1: go and tell us that next year is going to
- 43:00Speaker 1: be worse. It's the same with the Overshown injury. You know,
- 43:04Speaker 1: it's like Overshown got hurt. It's like, now that's going
- 43:08Speaker 1: possibly in the next year. So we'll see. I got
- 43:09Speaker 1: to get two more calls here before the show, so
- 43:11Speaker 1: we'll start with Armando. He's been holding Mexico City. Armando,
- 43:14Speaker 1: what's up man?
- 43:17Speaker 7: How are you doing? Bye?
- 43:20Speaker 15: Thanks?
- 43:21Speaker 7: So a little bumbed up because of the over something
- 43:26Speaker 7: and are we jinks or curse or something because the
- 43:29Speaker 7: little with our linebackers. We have had some great ones
- 43:34Speaker 7: like Shohn Lee and Vander Rich.
- 43:36Speaker 9: And then their careers are cut short.
- 43:38Speaker 7: Yes, I hope it's not the opation.
- 43:41Speaker 1: I hope so too. And you're right, I mean there's
- 43:44Speaker 1: you know, I mean you can say Jalen Smith maybe
- 43:47Speaker 1: in there too. He already suffered the injury before he
- 43:50Speaker 1: got here. But yeah, I mean it happens. It's a
- 43:52Speaker 1: tough position. It's a tough position.
- 43:55Speaker 7: Yeah. So anyway, I see that the race for the
- 43:59Speaker 7: old story and Jim is getting heated again for next year,
- 44:02Speaker 7: so I hope I try to make it easier. Yeah,
- 44:05Speaker 7: maybe maybe should contact she found that two or three
- 44:09Speaker 7: time time for the boats or something. Yeah, yeah, or
- 44:12Speaker 7: maybe or maybe you should do an international exemption like
- 44:15Speaker 7: like they did for the Practice Club something like that.
- 44:19Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. I like that a lot.
- 44:23Speaker 1: And it feels like they did for Isaac. You know,
- 44:25Speaker 1: international exemption.
- 44:28Speaker 7: Yeah, something like that.
- 44:29Speaker 1: You're onto something there. I like it. You know what,
- 44:32Speaker 1: it's harder for you guys to call than other people
- 44:34Speaker 1: at the time. Difference all that. Now Mexico City is
- 44:36Speaker 1: not that much different of a time. I get that.
- 44:38Speaker 1: But but still, yeah, international exemption, why not? You know what,
- 44:43Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to the committee. Okay, I just did,
- 44:47Speaker 1: and I like it. I like it. Yeah, we agree
- 44:50Speaker 1: that it's pretty good.
- 44:51Speaker 7: So so great. So I have a very change easier.
- 44:55Speaker 8: Now.
- 44:55Speaker 1: You got a chance, you got you got a shot. Yeah,
- 44:58Speaker 1: you still had one of the funniest You still had
- 45:00Speaker 1: one of the funniest lines ever there if I remember correctly.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Is it is it either girlfriend. That's a forty nine
- 45:05Speaker 1: er fan or whatever.
- 45:07Speaker 7: Yeah that was me.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. I remember that. It was
- 45:10Speaker 1: a good line. Anyways, I gotta get wrong, you got
- 45:12Speaker 1: you got a question.
- 45:14Speaker 7: I'm still talking with a comedy about that one. But anyway,
- 45:17Speaker 7: I just wanted.
- 45:18Speaker 9: To to told you to tell.
- 45:19Speaker 7: You about there were a couple of guys.
- 45:22Speaker 9: Actually born in Mexico.
- 45:23Speaker 7: I'll played for the covers.
- 45:24Speaker 9: Maybe you remember them, both place speakers, Brient Herrera and
- 45:28Speaker 9: Raphel Skin in the late seventies early eighties. One of
- 45:31Speaker 9: sifteen actually made a problem when You're so wanted.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Two I think three from remember that?
- 45:39Speaker 8: All right?
- 45:39Speaker 1: Oh will I think so? But I'm not sure. Yeah
- 45:44Speaker 1: you okay, you have any you have a question or anything?
- 45:48Speaker 7: Next time?
- 45:49Speaker 8: All right?
- 45:50Speaker 7: That's that was the comments. Well you see you next time.
- 45:53Speaker 1: Thank you. I like it. I like the the international exemption.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Let's get let's go one more caller here Erwin in Denver.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Hey, Nick, what's going on?
- 46:01Speaker 1: How are you?
- 46:03Speaker 2: I'm doing good, doing good?
- 46:04Speaker 12: How you been well?
- 46:05Speaker 1: You know, hanging hanging in here?
- 46:08Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, listen, I just wanted to put on a
- 46:11Speaker 2: couple of things.
- 46:12Speaker 8: I was listening to Robbie.
- 46:13Speaker 2: He gets a little emotional, doesn't he about some things
- 46:15Speaker 2: that we really have no control over.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why he's the captain though, you know what,
- 46:20Speaker 1: he's the captain and uh, he's going to be hard
- 46:22Speaker 1: pressed to be knocked off that spot this year because
- 46:25Speaker 1: what he does is he brings the energy and also
- 46:28Speaker 1: he also a lot of people they want to hear
- 46:30Speaker 1: what Rob says, and they you know, they like what
- 46:32Speaker 1: he says, or they dislike it, whatever it is. But
- 46:34Speaker 1: he's stirring up, you know, he's stirring up with people
- 46:37Speaker 1: talking good or bad. And that's a good thing always.
- 46:40Speaker 2: That's for sure. He stirs the pot a little bit.
- 46:42Speaker 2: But hey, I just I just wanted to ask you
- 46:45Speaker 2: a question about something real quick. I'll try to be
- 46:47Speaker 2: as quick as I can, But you know, I think
- 46:50Speaker 2: the Cowboys kind of missed out on something a couple
- 46:52Speaker 2: of years ago when Sean Payton was available, and I
- 46:55Speaker 2: just kind of had this feeling being from Denver here
- 46:58Speaker 2: kind of you know, I don't really follow the Broncos
- 47:00Speaker 2: really at all, but I know they've been kind of
- 47:01Speaker 2: a mess the last eight years or so. Yeah, and
- 47:04Speaker 2: I kind of had a feeling you know when Sean
- 47:07Speaker 2: Pink was available and they went all in and got
- 47:09Speaker 2: this guy. And I know that the Saints wanted a
- 47:11Speaker 2: lot for him, that he was going to turn things around,
- 47:13Speaker 2: and he has done that here in danverd I was
- 47:16Speaker 2: telling my son, I was like, I just have this
- 47:18Speaker 2: feeling that he's probably going to get the Broncos back
- 47:21Speaker 2: in the line, possibly be back in the Super Bowl
- 47:23Speaker 2: before the Cowboys do again.
- 47:25Speaker 8: And that's pretty damn sad.
- 47:26Speaker 2: And I just wanted to get your thoughts.
- 47:28Speaker 1: On that, well, but he hasn't, so I mean, like
- 47:33Speaker 1: like they're they're like with eight and five or something
- 47:35Speaker 1: like that with a rookie quarterback and and and you know, yeah,
- 47:38Speaker 1: he's turned turned things around. But I'm just saying, you're
- 47:43Speaker 1: talking about what's sad or you know, if he if
- 47:45Speaker 1: he turns that around, and and they haven't done that yet,
- 47:49Speaker 1: so I don't know. I don't really comment on that
- 47:51Speaker 1: kind of stuff until they have. I mean, you know,
- 47:53Speaker 1: it's it's been looking like Buffalo was going to make
- 47:55Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowl for a long time now
- 47:57Speaker 1: and and and they're good, but they haven't done that yet,
- 48:00Speaker 1: So I don't know. Sean Payton, you know he's he's
- 48:05Speaker 1: Sean Payton is pretty much what McCarthy is really. I mean, like,
- 48:09Speaker 1: aren't they about the same? The record's about to say,
- 48:11Speaker 1: and they both won Super Bowl with the Hall of
- 48:12Speaker 1: Fame quarterback. You know they're kind of the same.
- 48:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. They are kind of like the same.
- 48:18Speaker 2: It's just it just seems and I don't know this
- 48:21Speaker 2: because I'm just a fan, but it just seems like
- 48:23Speaker 2: Peyton brings a little bit more. I don't even know
- 48:26Speaker 2: if it's the right word, discipline on the sideline or not.
- 48:28Speaker 2: I don't know, some consistency holding people accountable. I've seen
- 48:33Speaker 2: how he chewed out his quarterback one day. He didn't
- 48:36Speaker 2: like what what bo Nicks was doing and he just
- 48:39Speaker 2: kind of like ripped into him.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Got suspended for a year. I mean, like, you know,
- 48:43Speaker 1: he's got he's got some things too. I I again,
- 48:46Speaker 1: I like, I like Sean. He was here for a
- 48:47Speaker 1: little bit, you know, But it's always been that way
- 48:52Speaker 1: with Sean Payton, and I don't know why. It's same
- 48:54Speaker 1: with like Jeff Fisher back in the day too. Like
- 48:56Speaker 1: everyone kind of they like the attitude, they like what
- 48:58Speaker 1: he brought and all that stuff. You look up. You
- 49:00Speaker 1: see a lot of eight nights. You know, there's a
- 49:02Speaker 1: lot eight nights there with him. Now win a super Bowl?
- 49:05Speaker 1: Did it with Drew Brees, did a great job. But
- 49:07Speaker 1: I'm just saying he always gets a little bit more
- 49:10Speaker 1: of a pass. I don't know why we're talking Denver, really,
- 49:12Speaker 1: I know he's in Irwin's from Denver. But yeah, they've
- 49:16Speaker 1: turned some things around there looking good. But I mean,
- 49:18Speaker 1: you know, just just look what McCarthy did. McCarthy turned
- 49:21Speaker 1: things around the Cowboys three twelve and five's but yet
- 49:24Speaker 1: now he's on the hot seat because it didn't get
- 49:26Speaker 1: over the top. So let's see, you know, he's taking
- 49:29Speaker 1: a bad team. They were bad and now they're they're
- 49:32Speaker 1: in the playoff hunt. Let's not. I don't think we
- 49:36Speaker 1: compare him to what the Cowboys are doing or whatever.
- 49:38Speaker 1: But anyways, that's where we are when we're five and
- 49:41Speaker 1: eight in this part in the season, we're talking about
- 49:43Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy stuff. Appreciate the calls, all of them.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Appreciate Rob from Vegas. He's one of the reasons that
- 49:52Speaker 1: this show I think has been successful because he brings
- 49:55Speaker 1: a challenge. He challenge of me. I'll try to challenge
- 49:57Speaker 1: him back. You guys like listening to him. He brings,
- 49:59Speaker 1: he brings the heat, and you know that's that's what
- 50:02Speaker 1: that's what the guy does from Vegas. He brings the heat.

- 50:07Speaker 1: more about this game, upcoming game, and and other things
