• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman here. It's Wednesday, December thirteenth. We're back
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back on the air. Missed the shows yesterday. We missed
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you guys. Hopefully you guys missed us as well, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you guys are back ready to go.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We got the Cowboys and Buffalo Bills to talk about.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Anything else you want to discuss in the world of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the NFL and the Cowboys, wrestling, whatever you got, It's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: all good. Not that I really keep up with wrestling anymore.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of more old school stuff, so I don't
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: really keep up with the current stuff. But that's okay.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Eight eight eight five five two two ninety seven is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the number to call. You can text at eight one
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: seven two nine zero three two nine eight. As I said,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we were out yes straight at the Big Group outing
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: doing some volunteer work for the Salvation Army. There's a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: lot of fun over there and being able to help
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: out put things in perspective. Of course, we try to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: do that every year, and so it just just worked
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: out that way where a couple of things going on,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we couldn't really do a full slate of show. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: if you can't do a full slate, can't really do
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: any But it was, it was. It was definitely good
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to be back, good to be back with you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Guys.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Want to hear from you on the phone lines as
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: well as far as news storylines goes. I mean, we're
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: just looking at some injuries a little bit. Cowboys banged
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: up somewhat. Obviously, Jonathan Hankins is the bigger one, of course,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: with the he's got a high ankle spring. Doesn't look
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be severe enough to put him
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on IR, which is which is key this week because
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if he did go to IR, he could miss four games.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He missed four games, then then you can come back front.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You could come back for the playoffs. But if it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: goes into next week and you put them on I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: obviously those four weeks would go into like the wildcard
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: round or whatever. So I don't think the Cowboys feel
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like it's that serious. I actually he walked right past
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: us in the locker room. Must think I said that Monday.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the sense that this was a tough
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: injury to come back from. It might be a game
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: or two for Jonathan Hankins and so could see a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: little bit more of Mozzie Smith. All right, let's go
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Let's get it started with Michael.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He's in Fulton, California. Michael, what's up.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's going on? Nick, I'm in Colton, California.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Coach?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, sir, Good morning, Mary. I just want to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: say I'm really excited about this past week's win. It
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: was a good quality win, but I'm even more excited
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: for this upcoming game against Buffalo. I think, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: they're a quality opponent and champions rise to the occasion,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and I'm just looking forward to see what we're gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: do against the good team. I know they had their struggles,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: but I still nevertheless, they're still good team. And also,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you with this upcoming uh
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you know, next year, do you think that we're gonna
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: be able to lock up Braddy Cooks or or Stefan
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Gilmore long term or what do you see happening.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: With their future?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Do you think they're they're gonna be in the future
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: plans and I'm gonna go ahead.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And hang right good one good question, h gil Gilmore
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and Cooks. You know, both of these, both of them
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: were traded and and you get their their contract. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I think I think for you know, use this is
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: why they teams trade them. They get a little draft
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: pick right now instead of waiting for them to go
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to free agency and get the compensatory pick, which will
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: probably be about the same either way. So I think
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys gave fifth, fifth and a sixth for for
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: both of those guys this year. I think, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I think you would try, you try to resign them,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: but you also, you know, you got to understand the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they're they're trying to, you know, get another payday as well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: both of them same part of their career. Uh. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: could imagine that the Cowboys would want to bring them back,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but I also think that you know, they're going to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have got to see how it how it fares on
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the open market with them those guys, anyone else that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you need, uh, you know, what they're looking for in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the draft. Also the development of other players behind them,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I think like Jalen Tolbert's you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: progress will will kind of you know, it'll kind of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: help the Cowboys steer them into the direction they want
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to go for for for that position. So I I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I don't have the answer, That's the thing. I mean,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it were still there's still a lot of other factors involved.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Would they want them back at a relatively good price, Yes,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of course they would, But would they get that good price?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And Gilmore keeps having games like that, maybe it'll be tougher,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: uh to do that. But I don't think it's a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: position where the Cowboys will be in need of, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of help because they have superstars at both positions.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: They have, you know, obviously a Ceedee Lamb receiver, they've
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: got Digs and Bland at corner. So I think it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: got to make sense for both sides. I could see
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: them wanting them to come back, but I also could
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: see those guys testing the market as well. All right,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: let's go to Tim in Grapevine. In our next caller, Tim.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, happy home day.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, how are you doing?
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: I'm doing great?
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: Hey.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: In a year of great stories from Bland and Ferguson
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: and so on. I mean, we can't become numb to
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Dak Prescott and what he's doing. I mean, I think
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: we have as a fan base, we're taking it for granted.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: He's playing elite football, elite quarterback in and he's the
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: odds on favor between the MVB. I was wondering in
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: your you know, in your experience, I think this was
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: before your time, but I think Emmitt Smith was the
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: only Cowboy'd ever.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Win it, right MVP? Yeah, ninety ninety three, that's right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: So well, what do you think that would mean for
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: the team in the organization if he actually wins it?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And all hang up, all right, thanks for the call.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: What would it mean for the team? You know, I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: don't mean this in a bad way, but I don't
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: think it would mean anything for the team. I really don't.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I think what it would mean for that. I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I think about it like this, he wins MVP and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: but they lost. They lost in the divisional round, they
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: lost even in the championship whatever it. You know, they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: didn't win. You know, it would be like that would
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: be good. It would be you know, it would be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a good accomplishment for him. But I think at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: end of the day, no one, I mean think about
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: like in March, we're talking about Dak win an MVP
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: or the fact they lost to whoever in the playoffs.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Say he doesn't win MVP s everyone's third or he
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gets fourth. Everyone's mad about it and it fuels him
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and they go and then when he wins and they
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and he didn't win it, I mean,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they would be talking about that, like, oh man, he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: didn't win it, but he showed them at the end.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. So I really think all that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: stuff sounds great. But you know, when you talk about
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: him at nineteen ninety three, you talk about Emmitt, you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the first two games he set out contract dispute, comes back,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: leads the league and rushing again. They win the Super Bowl,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: He's Super Bowl MVP. They win that. There's a little
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: controversy there because maybe people think James Washington should have
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: won it. But either way, I think, I mean, not
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to discredit what an awesome accomplishment it is, but I mean,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is something we talk about during
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the season, but afterwards, I think it still comes down
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to what he does, what he does on the field
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. And you know, it would
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: be great if he could win it, but I still think,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you know that he is going to be judge based
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: off of what he you know, what they do on
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the field, and I know that the sports are different,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but I'll never forget. I think it was two thousand
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and seven and this is in the NBA. I remember
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Dirk Novinsky winning MVP NBA MVP. Great accomplishment for him.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: They lost in the first round. They were the number
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: one seed in the West and lost to Golden State
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in the first round of the of the playoffs. It
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was very hollow to be like, here, here's the MVP trophy.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: You know you're out because you got beat by number eighteen,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you know, But but you know what I'm saying, so like, yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: all that stuff sounds good, but I still think you're
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: kind of judged by what you do and don't do
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on the field. Let me go back to the first
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: question from Michael. He asked about Gilmore and Cooks. Let
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: me just give you a little bit of an update
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on their contract situation. Gilmore is a free agent at
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the end of this season. Last year of his deal,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he's making almost eight million in base salary this year,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of why the Colt said, all right, let's,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you know, let the Cowboys take that and we'll take
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a fifth round pick and call it a day, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: good luck to you. And that's that's what's happened. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's been good for I don't know if it's been
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: good for the Colts. I don't even know who they drafted,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: but I know it's been good for the Cowboys. Not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so good for the Eagles. The other night, all right,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, he has one more year left on his deal.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: His base salary jumps this year from four to eight
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: million next year, so he will count his cap boyfall
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: contracts could be this easy. Base salaries eight is per rated,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: signing bonus is two, his cap charge is ten million.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Eight plus two is ten. I like that. That's easy
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to figure that out. They could they could cut him
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: if they want to. They could save it'd save about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: six million. If they cut him before June first, they
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: could they could save six million there. So I don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: know if they do that. I mean, I think they
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: would probably got to look at Gallup's contract to see
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: what they do at receiver. But I do think, you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Cooks is a situation that could probably stay for another season.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's if we have a Chris, if
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we have a text message, I mean, if we have
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a phone call, we can go to that. We have one, Yes,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: we do, Dylan, Northport, Florida, say Nix, how's it going good?
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: How are you doing good?
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: I got just a couple of quick things for you.
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: Then a question at the end.
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: So this last game here, this is going to be
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: a game I think when McCarthy is all said and done,
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: his career is over. I think this last will be
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: when they point out and on the highlights and talk
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: about it forever. You want to mentally and physically tough team.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: There's nothing like your head coach getting to the pendix taken.
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: Out and he's rolling the sidelines.
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: Just a couple of days later, and you saw that
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: on the field, defense was super physical. Ferguson's out here,
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: stiff farming dudes, jumping over guys like this is a
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: This is a tough team. And I think McCarthy has
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: a lot to do with that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, I agree with that. I do think
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that you take on the the you know, the attitude
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of your coach in certain cases, and this is one,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and I think that they definitely did that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: And then I called a bunch and we talked about
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: the Eagles and some luck they've had and stuff. Dude,
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: this last game, it was crazy how symmetrical it was
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: with the fumbles. The three fumbles in the first game
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: all recovered by Philly, three fumbles in this game all
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: goes to Dallas. When we talked about before a couple
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: of times, it all balances out in the end, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: it was really cool to see that kind of take
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: place live exactly the way it should be.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So it was really cool.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then a big picture, I just wanted to
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: shout out again I've shot them out before, but again
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: I'm just thinking, Jerry Steven will these guys they caught
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: so much flat during the trade deadline, and could you
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: imagine this.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Team without guys like Aubrey, Like, holy crap, this dude
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: is amazing. Turpin, you know, out of the usfl Turpin
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: on the end around My god, that guy's fast. That
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: was insane. I watched it again. Smoke coming off of
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: the speeded so fast.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: And they got.
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: Killmore and cooks trades in the off season, like the
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: moves they made are so underrated sometimes and easily forgotten.
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: But they've built such a good team kind of unconventionally here,
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: not just through the draft, but finding guys in USFL
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: and some cool trades. So shot out to them. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: then I guess my question would be, what's with all
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: the picked up flags this season? There's a ton of
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: picked up flags. There's New York like calling and talking
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: to these guys.
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: During the.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent that's what's happening. Because I actually thanks
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: for the call, Dylan. I appreciate that good stuff as always.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You know, yes, I do, I do think that that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that is happening, because, uh, there was a there was
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a point in the game where they had they had
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the refs up on the on the big screen and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they were kind of talking and then all of a sudden,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: they weren't talking for a second and the ref put
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: his hand up on his ear to like you could tell,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: like to kind of block out the you know, whatever
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: sound there was, to listen to something somebody, and uh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and then they came back and he talked. So yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know if it was on one
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of those picked up flag, but it was on a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: discussion like that. And if they're going to do that,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: just be consistent with it and do it. I'm fine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that because they get it right. They
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: get it right and they say, you know what, guys,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a pick. I know it looks like he was,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: but the guy's arm was flying up. It wasn't a pick.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Or or like on the holding penalty. First drive of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the game, cowboys are driving. And one thing that that's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: happening a lot. You see it with these defensive tackles
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: that I mean, they're flopping, they got their arms up.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They know if they got their arms up, it makes
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it look like they're getting held. And sometimes that's all
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that the ref can really see and they throw it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm totally fine if they were. If a guy
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: looks up and says, guys, that wasn't hold. That was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: not hold, and I'd rather that happen then than just say, well,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we'll come back on Monday and then the NFL says,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you know what, that wasn't a hold. I mean, how
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: many times have you seen that? Maybe in college football
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: when that's your team, and all of a sudden on Monday,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the commissioner of the SEC or whatever comes out and says, yeah,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that should not have been a penalty there, and your
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: team got screwed. Sorry, good luck next week. I mean,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: so I'd rather than just fix it right then, that's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: fine with me. If you know you have a different
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: set of eyes, I could pick that up. It's a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: little annoying if it keeps happening over and over. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: still I think at the end of the day, you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: want to get it right. All right, let's go to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Reggie in Germany. Reggie, how you doing.
• 14:18
  Speaker 13: I'm good man, Happy holidays, early holidays. All right, I'm
• 14:22
  Speaker 13: able to get back to you. So here's the thing, Man,
• 14:26
  Speaker 13: a state that should be getting in contact with you.
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: What about Kansas?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Kansas?
• 14:31
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't think Kansas has hits you up yet.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I feel I feel like we have, but I it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: it's borderline. I have to go back. And for some
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: reason though, when I was looking through it, I thlought
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Kansas was but but maybe not. Maybe not. Do you
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: know someone from Kansas as well?
• 14:49
  Speaker 13: I'm not sure it feels like Kansas has a contact.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: What was your other state?
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: You said, No, that's the only one hilly state. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 13: here's here's a kind of gnawing at me. If I
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: could say it that way. We've been playing great ball.
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: I'm happy with everything that's happening at the moment, hope
• 15:09
  Speaker 13: it continues. But one little thing that's kind of attacking me.
• 15:13
  Speaker 13: I had the pleasure of witnessing all of the five
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: championships for the Cowboys, and every Cowboy Super Bowl appearance,
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: every appearance was in a victory. So I've seen them all.
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: And one thing that I've always noticed that when the
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: Cowboys are really on their game and make it to
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: the super Bowl or make it a long way in
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: the playoffs, they've got an attitude where they're coming out
• 15:40
  Speaker 13: with this curtain amount of swagger and there's certain and
• 15:43
  Speaker 13: they got the game base on do you know what
• 15:45
  Speaker 13: I'm saying, The players have the game based on. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 13: haven't seen that from the Cowboys at this point. I've
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: seen a little bit of, you know, joy in their
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: play that I haven't seen them really come out would like,
• 16:00
  Speaker 13: you know, this attitude of Okay, we're in a game,
• 16:03
  Speaker 13: we're gonna be in adult fight, and everythinging we do
• 16:06
  Speaker 13: counts from this point on. I wanted to ask you
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: about that. I know you got a legnopedia line and
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: you play, you watch a lot of football. What do
• 16:17
  Speaker 13: you feel about that?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You got another question, Reggie, I know you're in Germany.
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: A lot of time.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate I really appreciate the call. Thank you uh
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: for for calling in. If if they don't have the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: swag and the attitude on Sunday night against the Eagles,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to have it, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: don't know. You know, this is this is one of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: those things, swag, game face, leadership, you know, you know, communication,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you know that that kind of stuff. These are things
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: that are kind of hard to always, you know, put
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a put a value on. I mean, how can you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: tell them they don't look motivated, they don't play the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: look in tens. It's hard to do that kind of stuff,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: especially from Afar. You know, they seem like whatever, whatever
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: game face they had Sunday night, I'm fine with that.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: That that right there, Bottle that up and that's fine
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: because let's be honest. They kicked the Eagles ass. They
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: kicked their ass up and down the field. They knocked
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: them around. They fumbled, I mean they forced the bump.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: They Eagles weren't just fumbling the football the first game.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: They fumbled it two or three times on the field,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and they got it back and he kind of said,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: all right, keep doing that, and then I guarantee you
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: won't get it every time. Well, this time the Cowboys
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: knocked the ball out. They knocked the Eagles on their ass,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: picked them up and said I'll see you in thirty
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: seconds and I'm gonna do it again. And that's what happened.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: If that's not a game face, I don't know. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: don't know what else you need. Now, are they Are
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: they twenty points better than the Eagles overall? Probably not.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: If they play again in the playoffs, whether it's Dallas
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: or Philly, it'll probably be a pretty close game. I think.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think the two teams are pretty evenly matched. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I like what the Cowboys have done. I like what
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: they do. I mean, think about it. They take care
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of business at home. Not only that, they're beating everybody
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: by twenty points or more at home. Every game has
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: been twenty or more at home. They're the only team
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in the NFL that's won every game at home. Now,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they obviously have to take care of business on the road,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: but you can fault them for other little things. Run
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: defense here, penalties there, game face being ready to play,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: prepared and playing with an attitude and swag. I'd give
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: them a check on that one. I think they're doing
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: just fine there. All right, Well you asked about different states.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You said Kansas, I'm not sure of. And I even
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: said to myself, like, well, what about Kansas City is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: actually on the border there. It's gonna be Missouri, could
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: be Kansas, Kansas. We'll find out here in a couple
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes. First we're going to go
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to Scott in Wyoming. And if there was a question
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: about Wyoming, it's off the list.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if we had one from Wyoming, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: we do now Scott, Good morning, sir, Good morning. Is
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: this your first call?
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: I believe, so.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I am. I'm a historian among other things, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: I just love the NFL history and especially the Cowboys.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: I got a chance to go to the the Pro
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: Football Hall of Fame induction this year, okay, and enjoyed that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: But I think your idea about the books on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: Cowboys is great. I've got a bunch of them myself,
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: and you know, get the keep people reading.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: I My My favorite is is Peter Golenbo's book Cowboys
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Boys been my heroes talk about in depth. Really Yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: but you know, I don't have anything in particular, you
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: know that. I just I've my dad was an Air
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: Force pilot and we were on Okinawa during the late sixties,
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: and so when we came back in the late sixties,
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: he joined the airlines and we got sent to New Orleans,
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: and so i was there for for when Dallas came
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: in for Super Bowl six and twelve, and so I've
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: had a chance to you know, have been fanned for
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: a long time.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Who's your favorite player of all time?
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: Rogers Tobach all right, for sure. Yeah. In fact, I was.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: I was a little disappointed he wasn't at the Hall
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: of Fame this year. I talked to Bob Lily and said,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: you know, where's Roger and he's so I'm not sure,
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: and I was kind of guessing maybe he was with
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: Chuck Howie at the time. That would be the kind
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: of thing he would do, you know, as as need
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: a guy as he is.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he's he's the past. You know, he's got
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: he's got. When you when they look at the football
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: life that they do on NFL Network, his is the worst.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And I say this. I say this because there's nothing,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: there's no controversy, you don't have anything, you don't have
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: any Oh, we'll be right back in the break and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: find out when Rogers not nothing, there's there's not anything
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that I mean, he was he was. He was just
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a perfect player and the locker room guy and everything
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: about him was was was just awesome.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: And they say yeah, yeah, and then they say that
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Tom Brady used to go and I don't disagree, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: in my opinion, Starbuck is the best quarterback of all
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: the traits that you look for in the quarterback.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's it's sad that a couple of games,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you know, those two games in Pittsburgh could change everything,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: really did. I mean, it would change, It would change,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you know. But that's that's part of it. That's the thing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Brady had close games too, you know, he had some close.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: Never had to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: No, but true, true, he didn't. All right, well, Scott,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks, thanks for the call again. All right,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: good stuff, Wyoming, we can check that off the list.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Another state we can. We've had a call it from.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: That's great. All right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what's up.
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: Good morning, sir.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I am on the Missouri Missouri side. Okay, Missouri is
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: like the most I mean most of the population of
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Kansas City is Missouri.
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: Right, absolutely, it's more like two thirds to one third.
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: But there is a small part that's what we call
• 22:36
  Speaker 14: KYK Kansas City.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Kansas got it k cy k? All right, who's got
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the best barbecue? Which side?
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: Oh man, it's not even close.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: We got the best barbecue up here.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Got it? Well, I wasn't sure about how that that
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: worked in Kansas City. Like my parents grew up in Texaarcanaa,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Arkansas and Texas Arksas side. Texas side, it's split right
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: down the middle. You know, it's pretty it's pretty intense.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know if I Kansas City was kind
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of the same way. But yeah, I think we've had
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a caller from Kansas City, I mean from Kansas. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: think we have. I have to go back and look.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I definitely know we have one from Missouri and you, so, Brian,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: what do you got?
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 23:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I do go to physical therapy in Kansas. So
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: one of these times I have to call you from
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: over there.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: That's all all right, all right, sounds good. That don't work.
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: So you know, somebody was saying in the early show that,
• 23:26
  Speaker 14: you know, maybe DAK is not the best cold weather thrower.
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: I don't know if I ever noticed that or even
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: you know, how many of those how many? How many
• 23:35
  Speaker 14: times we've even seen that?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 23:38
  Speaker 14: You know, we play in a dome, lots of other
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: teams playing, you know, so, but you know, I do
• 23:44
  Speaker 14: think that we we seem to have come together with
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: our offensive line. The running game looked much better this
• 23:50
  Speaker 14: last week than than what we've seen in the past.
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: But you know what it's and it's not supposed to
• 23:56
  Speaker 14: be brutally cold this week. It's supposed to be like
• 23:59
  Speaker 14: forty ish at game time. So just yeah, I wanted
• 24:03
  Speaker 14: to get your your take on that, if you had
• 24:05
  Speaker 14: an opinion in that, and then I had an old
• 24:07
  Speaker 14: timer for you, if you got a Dexter Cochle story,
• 24:10
  Speaker 14: and I'll hang up and listen.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Brother, Thank you all. I appreciate that. Brian from Kansas
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: City cold weather Games. You know, yeah, I think it's
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: not as easy to throw the football around. I mean,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: everyone kind of can see that. I mean, and the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It's also the receivers too. It's not just the quarterback,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: it's the receivers. It's how do they catch the ball?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You know? Are they are they you know they prepare
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they wearing the right gloves? Are they you know? Are
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: they are they mentally up for the challenge? All that
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: stuff wind and you know, I think you know, I've
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman wasn't as good in it either, you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and he's one of the best throwers and most accurate
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time. I mean, it's just sometimes you
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: get to that point in the season where it's just
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: not as easy to throw it. And even even the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: guys that were in Buffalo, you the Jim Kelly's that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: back in the day and all that, Like I guarantee
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you look at their stats, I mean, it goes down.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that they can't they can't perform l way,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously in Denver and there's been a ton
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of them so that you just don't get the practice.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It's the same with driving, you know what I mean,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: when it starts to snow and get a little flurries,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: people up in the Northeast, they just drive all around
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and then you know, schools shut down here, you know
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: what I mean, It's just not what you're used to.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So I think I think they can get the job done.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember a game in twenty eighteen against
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the Giants, last game of the year, where I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Dak's best throw of his career was in that game
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley, rolling left fourth down throws at the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: beas League, absolutely phenomenal catch in the back of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: end zone. That whole game, Dac I felt played well,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and it was it was Meadowlands in December or January
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: at that point, just just win swirling all that. I
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: thought he did a really nice job in that game,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and I think he has his moment. So they're going
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to have to move the football. We'll find out. I mean,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happened this year. It doesn't matter what
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: he's that did five years ago. What matters is what
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: they do in this game. Dexter Cokeley stories that you said,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I've said some a little bit
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: on this show before. I mean, I really like, I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: really liked his game. I love the fact that he
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: changed a Hall of Fame coach's perception of him just
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: on this play. Because Bill Parcells had a stereotype about linebackers.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: He was like, I don't they'd have to be big guys.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They can't. I can't have little linebackers. I didn't have
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: him in the Giants, the Jets, the Patriots had these
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: big guys, you know, Pepper Johnson big, you know, Carl Banks,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Harry Carson. He wasn't really a big guy, but but still,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, in that win, and Dexter
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Colky did not fit. But Mike Zimmer and some other
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: coaches said, coach just let him play, and he did.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And he loved those guys because of they were football players.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter their size, they were football players. And then
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Dexter Cokeley also, I've said this before. You make the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: right plays at the right time of the season, in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the right game. That's how you get in the Pro Bowl.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And he got a pick six against the Dolphins, two
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: interceptions in the ninety nine Thanksgiving game against the Dolphins
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: on Dan Marino. They beat him twenty to nothing. He
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: had score two touchdown or a touchdown and he also
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: had another interception, and he had the record. He was
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: tied for the record with four interceptions for a touchdown
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: in his whole career, and he was tied with Dennis Thurman,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and now Deron Bland has beat him in one season
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: with five, but I guess he would still have the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: record for most interception returns by a linebacker. It's pretty good,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: all right, Let's go to break here real quick on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Cowboy storyline, be right back. We got more text questions
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and calls to get be right back.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per ho.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: But the good news is Todd has at and T
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: five G is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: the best thing to do is stop running and toss
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: her the backpack with the beef stew At and T
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: five G fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: Five G requires compatable planning device.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Five G may not be available in your area. See
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: att dot com slash five G for you for details.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Cowboys fans, after that move, we've just coined the term
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: rowdy replay.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Let's roll back the table.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, there's our mascot, rowdy cheering on the boys, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: now he's on his phone on his Bank of America
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Mobile Banking app, staying on top of his finances with
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: his virtual financial Assistant Erica. Bank of America's digital tools
• 28:32

  Speaker 1: All right back here on Cowboys storyline. Score her a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: couple of text message questions. We had one from Dan
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and Philly. I'm sure he had some things to say.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: He picked a forty four to six score, said, not
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: quite the prediction I had last week, but I'll take it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Eagles fans are correct about one thing. The Cowboys still
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: haven't beat a good team. I love it. Cry Eagles
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: cry is what he says. None of my Eagles friends
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: are chirping this week. I bet you they are not.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Nick Evans from Blair, South Carolina. His question is do
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you think the non holding calls against Parsons is a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: legit thing or is it on par with normal officiating? Well,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: do you mean you say it all the time that
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you know you can make a holding call in any play.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, every single play can have a holding call.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure Parsons thinks he gets held every time.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: He's a great pass rusher. He's hard to block, and
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: so he's probably getting held most of the time. It's
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: just whether the ref see it or not. But yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I mean I bet he does get hold get held
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: just about every snap. That doesn't surprise me at all.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: And then also Mike from Denver, Colorado are his favorite player,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Emmitt Smith, random cowboy, Avion Cason, favorite wrestler Nick the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: flea Flicker Eatman. She's not great crazy about wrestling, the
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: fleet Flicker. I could see that. I could see that
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: being a wrestling name, all right. And he asked about
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the weather. We kind of talked about that real quick.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Avion Cason. Yeah, he was a It was a good
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: running back. I mean he was quick, shifty running back.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I think he scored a long touchdown, probably was the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: first guy to score a touchdown in the Bill Parcells era.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think in that first game against Atlanta. He scored it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe not the first touchdown, but he did score in
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: that game. All right, let's go to the calls. Isaiah
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Florida.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Isaiah, good morning that Nick. How you doing it good?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: And what did I say Friday?
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I said that school was gonna be thirty five and five.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad at all.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: And I was wanting to talk to you about, you know,
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: how you had the five plays. Yeah, one of the
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: plays you didn't mention was the doctor that got my
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: coach back on the field. You forgot to put the doctor.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: They got the coach back on the field to call
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: those players. I got a coach, I got a coach.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it. That's good. Sometimes I'll do that
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know, on the five players. But
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: yeah I didn't. I didn't put that one in, but yeah,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: should have, because you're right. I think it did affect
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it affected a whole lot. And I believe that.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: You know the way they came out on that game,
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: the first drift, I said, woke they read it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: And my all time player is the eighty eight club
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: All of them, all of the eight clube.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, name one player that wore
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: eighty eight that is not in that club. Can you
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: got anyone else? No, Dad, no, a CD, No Mike, Michael,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Irvin or Pearson? Got anyone else any other eighty eight?
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: No, I don't have any other eighty eight.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: All right, those four are good enough. They're in the club.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: They're the leaders of the club for sure.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: And another thing I wanted to say, what is one
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: tildy that they had they played now that would have
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: won the Cowboys the game in that championship game against
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: forty nine.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: His horse calling horse calling.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Because he horse called Drew Prison.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: In that game.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because he because he was gone. He caught
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: that path from Dan White and he was gone. That's true.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: And another thing at the Super Bowl. I was at
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: that Super Bowl, and I think James Washington should have
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: won it because I was able to hand his son
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: down down to him because I was next to his wife. Okay,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: so you mind handed him down there. I got pictures
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: of him handing his son down there to him, And
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: he should have won the MVP of the Super Bowl.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: What he did in the Super Bowl, I don't care
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: what nobody said when he ran that fumber back and
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: then the innocense.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I said, wait, he had an interception, he had a
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: forced fumble, and he had a fumble recovery from a touchdown.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And that's why I think he should have got it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I agree with you on that. I will one hundred
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: percent agree with you on that one, Isaiah, thank you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: for the call. I'll say this though about Emmitt Smith
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in that game, is they tied the game with that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: right in the third quarter with the fumble recovery, then
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: they got the ball back. I think it was eight
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: straight carries to Emmett. I mean think about it now.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't see running backs do that eight
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: in a row. Boom boom, boom, six eleven, four, three, seventeen, four, seven,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: nine whatever. It was touchdown that that right there, that
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: broke their will. I mean that one hundred percent. And
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I think and I think Emmitt Smith was worthy of
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: winning the MVP because he had a nice game as well,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns and he kind of he was the guy
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: there that just kind of ran down their throat. James Washington, though,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and he made he was more impactful for that game
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: than I think Larry Brown was against the Steelers two
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: years later. Larry Brown just had those two interceptions that
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: are thrown right to him. But I thought James Washington
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: was deserving. But still, you know, got to give it
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: to him and Emma Smith as well, though not never
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a bad choice. All right, let's go Al. He's in Merkele, Texas. Now,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: what's up? Are you there?
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: Al?
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: Hey?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: How's it going good? What's on your mind?
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: I got three comments that color earlier got sort of comment.
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: I was going to ask about the three flags that
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: were picked up, and it's ironic how I don't know
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: if it's a coincidence or what, but we were talking
• 35:43
  Speaker 11: about that referee that you know, had referee so many
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: Philadelphia games. The call went for Philadelphia, and I just
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: thought it was ironic. Now I was in the I
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: was at the game someday and I saw one of
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: those flags thrown and I thought it was a legitimate
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: pick against.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: US for a touchdown.
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: They picked it up. So I'm like, every all those
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: players of picks, they're not rugs, they're picks.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You know, let's be you know, you're right about that. Now,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just do you do you go up
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: there with your hands up like you're about to get
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the ball, or do you go like your Carl Malone
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and you're just at your hands like you know, I mean,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: like you said a pick like that, like like a J.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Brown did, then they're gonna call it. But CD kind
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: of got his hands like I'm trying to catch it
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: here and you know, bump the guy. You gotta be
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: good at it. You gotta be good actor.
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you go, you go to every game. And the
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: second question was how loud was the stadium in comparison
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: to games past.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really loud?
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: Really, yes, Okay, that's what I thought I would. I didn't.
• 36:42
  Speaker 11: This was my first game this year, but I went
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: to a game last year and it seemed like it
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: was really louder this year. And y'all had somebody on
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: one of your shows made the comments that the home
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: crowd is really showing up and being loud. Yeah, I
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: think it brought us.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's been a big difference. Well, who was the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: team that you that you saw last year? You remember, No,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I don't. I know it was a It's okay, but
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't Philly, we won, We won I mean,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't Philly, then no, then it probably wasn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: as lot. I mean that's the thing that's that's part
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of this thing is Philly goes. They got their fans.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: They're probably obnoxious. They they're ready to go. I mean
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: they're you know, they're they're they're pumped excited. I mean
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the game just meant so much all.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: Day, they were they were all over the place, uh dogs,
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: like I said, the ugly green color, all over the place.
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: But it was funny at the halfway through the fourth
• 37:34
  Speaker 11: quarter they all started filing out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it happens. It happens like that. I mean,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: they got they got beat down, right, Hey.
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: And I have one more. This is a comment that
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: they're probably not very popular, but you don't have to
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: answer if you don't want to. But how come nobody
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: ever mentioned that New England and got caught uh getting
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: the hands up or I mean, for the lack of
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: a better word, cheating three times in the Super Bowls.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: I mean everybody mentions when the Astros got caught cheating
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: and when the World Series, but you don't hear that,
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: and I mean nobody ever mentioned it. You know, the
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: flate gates to when they got caught filming the rams.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, it's been twenty years, and I think
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: it's good. It's a that's a very good point because
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: of the Astros. Did you know they get caught cheating
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: and all that and uh and then they won afterwards, right,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: they did win it last year, so they I think
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that helps is winning like winning without any controversy. I mean,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: if that was your only win and that's what happened,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: then you know, if you if you win again and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: win again, and it's like, well, you know, you had
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I had the flate Gate, you had the
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to get an edge. They're really good.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you. I really
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: don't like I think I think it help to have
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: success in other forms, which the Astros did. They did
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: win last year on top of that, so on the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: scandal still didn't seem to help, though it didn't didn't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: seem to go away. I'm not really sure. I'm not
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: really sure why. I know. In baseball though, they care
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: a lot more about that, you know, about the history
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: of the game and all that, with the steroid era
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. There are some people that just
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: don't ever acknowledge Barry Bonds as the home run leader
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and all that. Don't get me started on that, because
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I think he is. But anyways, I don't care about that.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Good question, good question about that, just and I'm sure
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: over time it did, it was a big deal. It's
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: kind of gone away though, when they win another ser
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Bowl and then another one and then another one, and
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, okay, they're really good over there in
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: New England regardless of what's happening. All right, Michael is
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: our next caller. He's in Bowling Green, Kentucky. What's up, Michael?
• 39:55
  Speaker 12: Amazon is dragging her feet. I haven't got your book yet, but.
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: Oh no, no, that's it.
• 40:01
  Speaker 12: I need to be here by now.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I wonder if maybe you know, this time of year
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: with the mail, you know, some people like to do
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: online shopping, you know, and might get caught up in
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: some of those packages and all that could happen.
• 40:13
  Speaker 12: Maybe what's funny is the Center is coming from the Odessa, Texas.
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: Cool, But I haven't heard the whole show today, so
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: I don't know whobody mentioned is that? Did you see
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: or hear Cam Newton's comments about Dak and so what
• 40:30
  Speaker 12: did he say?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: What do you say that? I don't know.
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: He named about three or four quarterbacks Dak included for
• 40:37
  Speaker 12: system quarterbacks and didn't affect the outcome of the game.
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: He was on some show yesterday.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: How did he play last week? How did Cam play
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: last week? I don't remember seeing the stats. Did he
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: play well?
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: Cam Newton?
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Or is he out of the league?
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: Oh, he's out of the league. I think I think
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: he is.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you too. I mean from a running
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: back that played quarterback his whole career, I mean to
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: call someone an assystem quarterback like that's kind of ironic,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: but you know what it happens like that. See that's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the thing. You kind of think he's out of the league?
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Is he? Is he not?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Is he with the team? No one knows former players
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that make outlandish comments like that that people like you
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: repeat and throw out there. That's what they want because
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: it's like no one's talking about me anymore. I will
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I want a heisman. I was this, I was Superman,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I was all this. I was in a super Bowl.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Now you're out of the league, no one talks about
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you anymore. And so when you get on a podcast
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: or you get on a platform. Whatever, you throw out
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: some stuff like that, Oh boy, Cam Newton's coming in
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: hot hot take for Cam Newton. Oh maybe maybe I
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: can get a job here. Maybe I can go and
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: do this and be there. I mean, that happens. I
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: don't know what he said, I don't know where he
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: said it. Who cares? I mean, but that's my point
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: is that I think a lot of former players kind
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: of do that so they can they can show that, Hey,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: put a microphone in front of me. You never know
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. You know, it happens, it's all good,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, whatever it is, who cares? You know,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was a system basketball player, played in that system,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: that Triangle system with Phil Jackson. Pretty good, pretty good,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: pretty good system. So who cares? Who cares? What it is?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: If he's a system quarterback, that's mine. I don't know.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: He's playing better in this system than he ever has before,
