  Speaker 1: Storyline with Nick Eatman. What is up everyone? Cowboys storyline?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It is Friday, January the fifth, moving right along here,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: last day of the week before the Cowboys go to DC.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Cowboys taking on the Washington Commanders. I just was walking
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: down to do the show and security guards stopped me
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and said, looks like there's gonna be snow in Washington.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I have no idea if that's true or not, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that's what he heard, and now I'm bringing it to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the air. So I don't know if that's the case.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it matters, but you know what,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: we talk weather around here, so it does matter. Actually,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys play differently when it's seventy two
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: degrees and indoors at the stadium and when it's their
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: outdoors and grass and gold weather and wind and rain
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and maybe snow. But yeah, doesn't matter. You got to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: get the job done. Get it done. The NFC East champions.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And what a weird stat that is that the NFC
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: East has not had a repeat winner in the division
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: since since two thousand and four. It's been twenty seasons
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: since there's been a back to back winner. And actually
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the Eagles had won it four years in a row,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and then from there it's been somebody different every single year.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's just rotated. You haven't had consecutive winners. And the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Cowboys can take care of business, then that streak will
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: continue because the Eagles will not win it. They won
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it last year. But yeah, they obviously can win. If
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the Giants these they beat the Giants and the Cowboys
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: lose to Washington, then the Eagles would win the NFC
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: East and the Cowboys were dumped to fifth and they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: won't have a home game probably at all. So big
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: this when McCarthy said, the playoffs start now. The playoffs
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: start now, all right. Speaking of the game, We've got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Shelby in Virginia that called a couple of days ago
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and has two tickets to the game that he's going
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to do a giveaway on. Here, we're gonna do a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: trivia question. So we've come up with a trivia question. Uh,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and this is how this is gonna work. We got
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the text line here eight one seven two nine zero
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: three two nine eight that's what you can text your
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: answer in. It's not really And you've got to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: going to the game, like you gotta be able to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: go if you're gonna get this question right. You're gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: be the winner. You gotta go to the game. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. So you're in that Northeast area,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you're up there, Baltimore, Virginia area. You're going to the game. Cool,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you can get it, all right. So here's the question, yeap,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: what player led the team in punt return yards for
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys? But in the first game of the season
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown against the Cowboys as a punt
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: returner first game of the year, punt return touchdown against
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Ended up leading the Cowboys in punt return
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: yards that season. Who's the player? What's the year? Let's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: get started, Joe and Stanford?
• 3:10

• 3:15
  Speaker 3: not going to say the game. No, yeah, no, there's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: no way I'm getting to the game.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Speaking of that forecast, I'm looking at it right now,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: game time. Let's see here, forty five degrees two percent
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: camps precipitation quote mat for hour win. So I don't
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: think the snow things.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Don't play football. That's just no snow, just don't play
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: some football, And if anyone would know, it would be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Chris Bean, who's going to be down there for four hours?
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I see, I'm.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Going to be like, you know, well hold on a bit. Washington.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: They don't even have snacks. But anyways, uh yeah, we'll
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: just be like, oh cool, seems cold. Yeah that I bring.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: So what you got, Joe is the heated? Is the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: heated there in Washington?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. It's not that bad. It's not that bad.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things. So two years ago I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: was in d C in October. My wife and I went,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and of course I wear Cowboys gear everywhere. I don't
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: think I have much of anything else to wear. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: don't think it's on purpose. It just happened. Yeah, exactly.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I have to say, like you were talking about the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Cowboys fans. I probably got stopped twenty times a day
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: with from Cowboys fans in DC and in Virginia. It
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: was crazy. I thought that I was gonna be My
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: wife was like, are you crazy You're wearing that. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm wearing it. I got stopped a
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: ton saying go Cowboys. It blew my mind.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: The second thing is this curse still. You know, I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: not weird like that, but I don't know. It's got
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: a sort of a symmetry of feel to it. Can
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you imagine that what happened right after Jimmy, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: with the sort of the events of happening and what
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: happened at the end of the game, plus the Eagles losing,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and now we have a chance to end up in
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: San Francisco for the NFC Championship game like we did
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: for the first Super Bowl in the nineties. I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it just sort of feels right. Maybe it was true,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: maybe there was a curse.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm not buying that. But I'll tell you this.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: If the Cowboys go and they go to San Francisco
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for the championship game and it's muddy and sloppy, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they end up winning the game, and Jimmy's there because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of Fox, and he says, how about them Cowboys? Okay,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: we'll be okay with that. I'll go for it. Yeah, fine,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: curse and then jay Ron Curse intercepts the ball and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: wins the game and it's the curse is lifted. Yes,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: For that right on.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think we should probably have a lot of issues.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I really would like to see the Cowboys just win
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: going away this week. We don't need to mess around
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: with these guys, and I feel like that's what's going
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to happen anyway, Say travels, good luck and on the playoffs.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Appreciate that. Joe and Stanford one
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of the originators, you know, the first callers really ever
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on Cowboy storyline. And then then you guys all jumped
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in and flooded the lines, which totally appreciate. I love it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And it's and you know, we don't hear from him
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: as much, but it's okay. Good to hear from Joe
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in Stanford, Texas, right near Abilene. That's where my wife's from.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And and Stamford, Texas, Stanford Bulldogs. They thought they were
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: gonna win State didn't. Didn't happen this year. Had a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: good season though. Zach in Atlanta is our next caller.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, good morning, Nick.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: How are you good?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: How are you doing doing well?
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Doing well? I called last week for the first time,
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: and I was trying to get the good vibes going.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Did we give you did we give you?
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Here we go?
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: Yes? I got to here we go last week. Thank
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: you after that beame was on it, Yes, sir, so,
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: so I feel like things are a little delicate right now.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: I don't think we've been playing our best ball. Starting
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: from that Bills game, you got the Dolphins and Lions
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: kind of playoff type atmosphere games, and you know, you
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: flip a play in the Dolphins game, we win that
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: all of course, the Lions game, there's all the silliness
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: at the end of that, and we came out with
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the win. But man, you said it at the top
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: of the show, the game this weekend is huge because
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: again we lose, Philly wins, the scripts completely flips, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: you know, we're excited about two home games right now
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: in the playoffs. But man, this thing could switch on
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: a dime this weekend. And I don't think that we've
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: been playing our best ball. Granted it's been scrappy, We've
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: had a chance to to come out on the winning
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: side of a few of these, but I'm a little
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: a little nervous, little hesitant. Maybe that's the Cowboys fan
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: and me. You know, over the past twenty twenty five
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: years of my fandom, I've just seen the ball bounce,
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: the wrong way too many times. And so yeah, we
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: need to win this weekend and control our own destiny.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: We need to go win the game. That's what we
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: need to do this weekend, exactly exactly. And I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a question I have, I have two, but I'll start
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: with this one. I have a couple of friends too,
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: are big Packers fans, and they worship the ground that
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers walks on. And they blame McCarthy for a
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: lot of kind of the playoff, you know, sustained success
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: and appearances. But you know they they only made one
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl, which is a lot more than other teams
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: can say, certainly us as the Cowboys.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Again, just the past couple of weeks and some of
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: the game management makes me a little nervous. You know,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: do do you have any thoughts on on McCarthy. You
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: know you've seen Parcels, Garrett and now McCarthy, you know
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Campo before that, but what what what what makes Carthy
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: stand apart from uh, some of the other regimes. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: then second second thought is a player Marion, the Barbarian Barber.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: Do you have any stories about him? One of my
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: favorite players to watch growing up, and so thanks for
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: taking my call. N hang up.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'll do this to kind of pump up our own
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: documentaries that we do, and it kind of surprises me
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, we we we've done these documentaries.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Deep Blue is Our is the is the title series
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for nine seasons. Now we're working this will be our
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: tenth year coming up, and still surprises me that some
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: people haven't seen them or you know, some of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: things that we've done. We did this past year class
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of tooth than and five and Spears Canty Burnett of
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: course d Ware and got a few of them to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: sit around and talk about Mary and Barber who was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in that class as well, really the only offensive player
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in that and so I thought, I thought they did
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a great job. And then our team, you know, our
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: team of a production team to put it together, did
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a really good job with that. So Class of two
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: thousand and five, you know, if you haven't seen it,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's pretty good. That's that's what I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: can think of about Barbara story wise, I mean, you know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: everyone remembers some of the runs. I mean the two
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: yard run in New England when he went backwards into
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, eight tackles and all that stuff. He was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you know, he was he was really, he was really
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a great player. But sadly, like I remember talking with
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I remember, like Derek and I went in the old
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: studio talking about him as a young player, going he
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: can't continue to run like that, like he's going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: hurt himself, you know, and so and you know he did,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you know, over over the course of his his career
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and then you know his tragic ending to his life.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But as a football player, man, he was, he was,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he was special, you know, he just he was something
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: about him. He was so big and strong, but he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was loose of as well. And and and and here's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the thing. Players loved him. The players loved him. And
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that's the thing about about Mary and great player, great teammate.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You know, that's that's checking the box off right there
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: for McCarthy, you know, I I yeah, I mean game
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: game management. I mean go look at these games. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: mean there haven't been a lot of games like this
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: this year. I'm not giving him a pass. I mean
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he's a veteran coach and that's why you you got
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: him in because he's been in these games in the past,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, as a play caller as well. You go
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: look at this season, though, there haven't been a lot
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of games where they're close and the Cowboy, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: he's got the ball on offense, and the two times
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we've really seen it, it's questionable, you know, I think
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I think personally, I it seems like he's just more
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: impatient of like, let's get this game over with. We
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: got it right here, we make the play, we get
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the game, it's over and when it doesn't work,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: then you're like you're left with the consequences. And the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were able to get you know, win the game.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But I mean both times it was really really close.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I think he does a really good job preparing the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: team throughout the week, gets them ready to play. So
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, any and he's been very, very
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: consistent in what he's done, better than any coach we've
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: seen since Jimmy Johnson. You know, I don't think, I mean,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys haven't had three seasons of eleven wins since
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: since Jimmy Johnson did it in his final three years
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: ninety one, ninety two, ninety three. That's the last time
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: any coach in Cowboys history has done that. So I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: think I think he's got he's got to get some
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: credit for that. But but obviously what we care about is,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know, right now, this team and getting them ready
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to go. I think I think he'll be fine, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: but he knows they can't run the football, and he's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: trying to do what they do best. Sometimes at the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: end of the game, though, that's where it gets questionable,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is that the smartest thing to do? So all right,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Brian and Colorado is our next caller.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: And Nick, here we go, Here we go.
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: Time?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Cool? I love you just saying that, and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: forget the first time caller, just like, hey, give me
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: my hair we go?
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, real quick. Just wanted to touch on kind
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: of how the seeding is that is going to play
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: in our favor this year. You know, the last couple
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: of years we've been in the playoffs. Two years ago,
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: you know, the Niners were real hot at the sixth
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: seed and came in and beat us, ended up losing
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: to the Rams and then the championship game. Obviously last
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: year we had another twelve win season and had to
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: go on the road. And I just kind of feel
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: like this year it's falling in our favor. And lining up,
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: which is great. But one thing I found interesting. The
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: only game I've been to this year was the game
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: against the Rams, and the Rams are obviously fitting the
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: majority of their players this week, so therefore McVeigh doesn't
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: care who they play, whether it be the Cowboys of
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: the Lions, and I kind of felt like that was interesting.
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: I looked back at the box score from that Rams
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Cowboys game and they didn't have Tyron Williams, but Cookin
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: Nakua and Cooper Cup that seventeen targets and seven catches,
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: so they were shut down. But anyways, I just felt
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: like that was interesting that McVeigh really doesn't care if
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: he's going at Detroit or at Dallas. Yeah, and so
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: I just thought that was interesting. But anyways, I mean,
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: obviously the Cowboys being at home, they should be able
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: to win either way. But because if the Packers win
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: and the Rams blues, the Packers will be the six
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: yeah and play and play Detroit, and the Rams will
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: come back to Dallas hopefully for a beatdown. But anyways,
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: I just felt I just felt like that's kind of
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: interesting play by McVeigh.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and and I mean health is most important,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean they're I don't know, I don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: know what they think from a matchup standpoint, you know.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I mean I I would rather I would rather go
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to If I'm the Rams, I would think I would
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: rather go to Detroit than to the Cowboys who already
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: beat you, you know, pretty handedly, and you know, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: know some of the personnels. I mean, it would be
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: an interesting dilemma. I mean, I'm an interesting game with
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Detroit and the Rams. I mean, how ironic is that
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: with these quarterbacks that are that were traded for each
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: other Golf and Stafford and then come back and play
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: uh in this game. So that that would love, Yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that will be that would be a cool dynamic. But again,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, as I've one of the phrases people say
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a lot in life, you know, is hey, coach your
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: own team. You know, we say that just in general.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: You know, if some you're getting into someone's business, you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: coach your team. I'll coach mime, and in this particular case,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay, he's going to coach his team, and Garthy
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and the everyone else will coach theirs, and we'll see
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: how how it goes down. To me, I think just
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: being healthy is the most important thing, regardless of where
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you go. They're in and I guess six and seven
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is really not not that much of a difference, you
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: know in his mind, which and you know, look at
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: two and three, they're one point decided and they think,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the Lions think that they should have won
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and all that. So it's pretty close between the Cowboys
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and the Lions. I think right now two and three
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: if the Cowboys day it, two yeah for sure.
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: All right, Well for thirty eight going into the fourth quarter.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: All right, that sounds good. That would be a good one.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Brian, appreciate that. Let's get a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: text question, a text message question here, no name, uh,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: five one seven number. I feel like some of these
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: worried fans are a fumble, uh fumbled goal line ball
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and CD goal one away from feeling much better about
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: this offense. Positive turnover regression is coming back just in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: time for the playoffs. Okay, Sebastian and Savannah Georgia. Sebastian,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: what's going on?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Happy New Year's guys? Uh, how you doing about the
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Chris Beam. I'm doing really good. Shout out to Chris Beam,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Jazzy and everybody in the back that man.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Uh uh, will.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: You said, Utah Jazz? Yeah, Banks a very pretty good
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: game recently. So hey, good morning, by the way, how
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: you doing good?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, Sebastian?
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good. This has been an amazing season. We
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: I know there's a lot of fans that teeter totter,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: and that's perfectly fine. This has been an amazing season.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: If you look back at all the Jason Garrett years,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: we could not fight through adversity. Yeah, this season we
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: lost a cornerback, a linebacker, your defensive tackle, and we're
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: still managing to win games. Mike McCarthy has been a
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: good head coach. He's not perfect. He's not been Belichick.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: He's not that meticulous. So I'm hoping that he got
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: all of those little late game wos out of its
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: system before the playoffs. Yak Prescott has been phenomenal this year,
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: and you can see the influence that Mike McCarthy's system
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: and his understanding of quarterbacks has on Deck and his
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: play style. We have a brand new eighty eight because
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: before now you know, like I call it before and
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: I was like, if they're not going to play CD
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: like an eighty eight, don't pay CD. You pay that man,
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: the guy that's showing up on these games right here.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: As far as content goes, for the Cowboys, you guys
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: have done a phenomenal job all year long. Love all
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: the shows. This has quickly become my favorite show. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: for the Washington foot skin and Manders or whatever they
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: call themselves, I don't care who suits up. Go show
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: them why they're not a playoff team. Go lay them low,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: get ready for the playoffs, and let's try to keep
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: this thing going all the way to the end, you know.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: With that said, like Jimmy John said, how about them Cowboys, guys,
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Let's go into this offseason and have just a banger
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: of a postseason. Have a great day, machine man.

  Speaker 11: Con It was clean, It.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Was so awesome too. It was awesome because and I'm
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: sure it wasn't an accidental but just the way, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: he he took that mic and he's he's starting to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: pace it, you know, up up and down the aisle
• 19:46

• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a great speech. It was really cool moment and that
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: did not get ruined by the end of the game.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So cool. All right. Earlier in the show, if you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: just kind of missed it, we threw out a trivia
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: question on the line is tickets for two tickets for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the game Shelby in Virginia. One of our callers called
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in earlier this week and he's got two tickets to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the game for free. You could go and sit with
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: him Washington down. The question was you got to answer
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the trivia question right to get it. The question was
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: which player scored a touchdown against the Cowboys in week
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: one of the season on a punt return and then
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: ended up leading the team in punt returns later that year?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: So played again, the scored later in the season join
• 21:03

• 21:11
  Speaker 1: text line question text You can text it at eight

• 21:17
  Speaker 1: do have a question. Keep answering, though, just to make
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: sure that this person's going to the game. You never
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: know how that works, So get the questions in. If
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: you think you know it, go ahead and send that in.
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: So can we tell people who it's not. I've got
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: a lot of people.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I'll give you one. Let's go one player who it
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: is not?
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: Okay?
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: One?
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: Okay, just one?
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: One?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: One is Dion Sanders, not Deon Sanders, not Deon Sanders.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: Just let everybody know that I got one of those.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, just one, Okay, it was.
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: Deon Sanders nineteen ninety four, Like, no, all.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Right, that's yeah, that's fine. I mean, that's whatever. Uh No,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't. It wouldn't be Deon Sanders. But then again,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you know we're we're older and we remember all that,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and so you know when you're younger and you just think, ah, yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: he played for him and played against another team. You
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: not it? Uh, well, we'll we'll do it at the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: end of the show. We'll reveal it at the end
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of the show. Right now, there's just been one one
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: correct answer, and maybe he's getting some travel plans ready
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to go to uh to Washington. All right, who's next
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to Rod? Yeah? Rod and El Dorado, Kansas.
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, it's good to talk to you this morning.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Thanks for taking my call, no.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Problem I called.
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: H Well, first of all, I want to tell you
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: that sound by Jimmy Johnson belting out how about them Cowboys?
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: That sends skilled down your spine.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Every time you hear that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, So kudos kudos for Chris for bring that up.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: But hey, I called in a few weeks ago when
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: it was looking like we were going to be the
• 22:58
  Speaker 13: five seed, and I was talking to you about matchups
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: between Tampa Bay and and the other teams there in
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: the South. But now that it's looking like we we
• 23:08
  Speaker 13: have the solid number two. I just a couple of
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: questions related to that number one. That is it is
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: it most likely that we're gonna have Green Bay in
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: that first round? And if so, is that the is
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: that the most is that the matchups that we want?
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: And then the second question and all hang up and
• 23:33
  Speaker 13: listen to your answer. I've been trying to figure this
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: out on NFL Network and some of the other sources.
• 23:42
  Speaker 13: Do they depending on how the games go? And I'm
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: of course I want Cowboys to win their their game.
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: But like on the on the three sixth matchup, this
• 23:53
  Speaker 13: assumed that the six team up makes the upset? Do
• 23:57
  Speaker 13: they reset the matchup? So right now you've got one
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: playing the four or five. If that six team ended
• 24:09
  Speaker 13: up winning, would they automatically go to play at the
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: number one?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's how that's how that went got. Yeah, so technically,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: if you're the five seed, like they say, let's say
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are the five seed and five, six and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: seven win. We don't want that because obviously that means
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys lose. So but but right if five, six
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and seven all one in the same round, seven would
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: go to one five, five gets a home game and
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: plays number six. You know that almost happened to the Cowboys.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Well I don't know what almost happened, but you know
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys last year they were the five seed. They
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: won at Tampa Bay. The Giants were the sixth. They
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: won at Minnesota. The seven was Seattle at San Francisco.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: If they had won that game, Dallas would have would
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: have got a home game against the Giants in the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: divisional round. So so yes, they do reseed number one. Number
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: one will always gets the lowest seed. That's why they don't.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: It's not an NCAA March Madness bracket because it can't
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: really do it that way, so it's hard to kind
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of see it on there. So yeah, cool, all right,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: well I'll answer that. Thanks for the call, Rod, appreciate
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the call. Green Bay and the Rams green Bay. If
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: green Bay beats Chicago, so right now, technically green Bay
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is the seven right now. If green Bay beats Chicago
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and the Rams lose, then they'll flip. Green Bay would
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: go to the six, the Rams go to the seven.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So and if it stays the way it is right now,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: green Bay, so both teams, you know, win or lose uh,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Chris might know Seattle can jump jump back into this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: They play Arizona on the road, so you know Seattle
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: also to have a chance. They have a shot as well,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: especially if you know Green Bay loses a to Chicago,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: so the Rams are in. Though the Rams are in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the playoffs at the six. That's why the last caller
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: talked about, you know, them sitting some players, including their
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback Matthew Stafford. But he but they're in at six.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: They can be the sixth or the seven. Green Bay
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: right now is the seven. It could be Seattle, you
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: know who. I got asked this morning. I did a
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: one o five to three fan hit and I was
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: asked to rank the three teams that you you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: from a cowboysive perspective, that you would want to play
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: or you know it would be the toughest. And I think,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean famous last words. I mean. The
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: thing about it is, I remember two years ago watching
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the Rams in the forty nine Ers in the last
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: game of the season, cheering for the forty nine ers
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to beat the Rams. It would put the Cowboys as
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the third seed and they would play the forty nine
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: ers at home. I thought that was the best option,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: you know, be the three, and then you would go
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: play Tampa as the two if you can just beat
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: San Francisco at home. San Francisco was just just an
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: animal that the Cowboys couldn't handle, you know, you just
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you know, and I remember thinking, like, this team's ten
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and seven with Garoppolo, who's worried about them? Cowboys should
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: have been worried about them because they were better than them.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: So kind of get kind of tricky when you think
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: who do you want to play and all that kind
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I I tend even though that game happened,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'd still tend to go down to quarterbacks. So I
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: would take you know, I would. I'd say, let's let's
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: let's watch them play Green Bay, you know, I mean
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I would. I would take that one. Jordan loved and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: always had thirty touchdown passes, but he's never started a
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: game in the playoffs, and that would be my first
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: thought would be them, and then Seattle would be two,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and then and then the Rams would be three, just
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: because I know you beat them pretty bad, but you know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: they've got a quarterback that's won a Super Bowl, They've
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: got receivers that are really good. You didn't play them
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: when running back Williams was there and Aaron Donald still
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on that other side, so uh, that would be you know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: But but then again, scared of any of them. No,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: could any of them beat you? Yes, So take that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: for whatever it is. We're up to three winners, three
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: winners so far, Chris, Are any yes, sir, any of
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: these guys or girls that that have won, are they
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Are they saying they're going to the game. They're saying
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: they can't go to the game. And we got that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: far yet.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: You know, I haven't gotten that far reaching out and
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: I haven't reached out.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Now, do you know I can't. We'll we'll do. This
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is new, like this is new for us.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: We're just kind of this is what this is what
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna do.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Shell, we throw a curveball and we're this is what's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, So the number one winner, this is what's gonna happen.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna try to get that winner.
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: On the phone.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: So if a winner is listening and they get a
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: call from the Dallas Cowboys, pick up, don't send it
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: to voicemail.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Take it. Don't do that to Chris. Yeah, take his call.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: If you were like in the draft and the phone
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: says Dallas Cowboys, would you pick it up?
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: Pick this time up?
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Oh? Are you? Are you comparing this to the Jerry
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: call for the draft.
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't say that close. Okay, it's close, but we
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: do have three winners right now.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And and by the way, all three winners are close
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: to Washington, within driving.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Disc nice, so that's what we want.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: I'm sorry, they're all within driving disc Yeah, I would.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Say, okay, okay, cool. I didn't I didn't necessarily want
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Rob from Vegas calling in from Nevada.
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: You know, Vegas has a lot of pjs, so.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Private jets, private jets. I'm sorry, I just that's what
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: is private jet? I thought it was. I thought it
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: was pajamous. Okay, let's go Dylan. No, no, no, my man, Michael,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Michael and Bowling Green, Kentucky.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: I heard heard the end of that. Let me ask you.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: Any chance the Lions could play the Rams in the playoffs?
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: That would be interesting.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if they traded quarterbacks and everything.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just we just mentioned that a little bit earlier. Yeah, yeah, no,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: but but that's that would be an intriguing twist of irony.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I guess if that happens, Uh yeah, I mean there's
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: a that's the way it would sit right now if
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: if the Rams win. I mean, that's what's going to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: be interesting with Rams and the forty nine ers, Like
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: who's playing? You know, I mean, and I and I think,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I think you know the Rams are sitting some guys,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: but forty nine ers probably will also. So you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: if the Rams win, they stay at the six, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: then yeah, they would go to Detroit if if the Cowboys. Now,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: if the Cowboys lose and the Eagles lose, then then
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Detroit would would jump to the two. And I'm sorry,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happens if Detroit, if Eagles would
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: win in Detroit when I don't know who's got the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker between Detroit and Philly. But you know what, no
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: one cares about that because the Cowboys are gonna.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: Win, right Yeah, forty five that.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Would be fun if that happens, forty five six on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the road in.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: The do it over, you only gets one field goals
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: to rest us.
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: That's that'd be great.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: I saw something online last night and so I googled
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: found a couple of sources to make sure it wasn't
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: just something somebody was saying. They were saying that Goodell
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: could actually overturn that Cowboys win against the Lions, that
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: he could initiate an investigation. There's no there's no chance to.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: That is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: So what is he Is he going to say that
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Aubrey is not that Cowboys are not going to get
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: it past the CD who they haven't stopped for thirty
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: yards over the middle, and Aubrey's going to hit a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: sixty one yard field goal, Like he's going to predict
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that that's not happening.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I know, that's I mean, it was on all
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: and then I googled it, get some you know, makes
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: and and fams and sources, and I was just like, there,
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: there's no way.
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: I mean there, it's like the thrift shop. All sales
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: are final.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, you'd have to go back and put and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: just play it right there, you know, But I want
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I want all the fans back in there again. You
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: No.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, like and the NFL, the NFL's not changing
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: their rules. They they've said it, They've made it clear,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: like they sent a memo to the rest of the teams, saying,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: make sure that you are clear when you talk to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the ref about what it is. See the people keep
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: thinking the Lions didn't make a mistake. They did make
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: a mistake. They made a mistake because they heard that
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the wrong player was eligible and they didn't do anything
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: about it. It's like I keep saying, if you place
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: an order at a restaurant and then they repeat it
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: back to you wrong, that's up to you. If you
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: want to just say, well, I guess, I guess I'll
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: eat onions, then I mean I guess. No, get it right.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: You made the order, get it right, and they did it,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: so they messed up. How could Goodell change anything?
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: So they probably thought, hey, we got them.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They're thinking yeah, they're like, yes, the ref said it right.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Another thing, get the get the guys out of the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: ref's face like that. That could be the only thing
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I could see them saying, is it. Don't You don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: need to be talking to the ref. You're going over
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: there if you're not doing anything. You know, three often
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: sent three guys, and they sent fifty eight and sixty
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: eight was come fifty eight sixty eight?
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it was fifty eight, sixty eight, and seventy.
• 34:00

  Speaker 12: I appreciate that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: No problem. Yeah, I mean I think I think it's
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: amazing and it helps me honestly, I know you got
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: a question here, but it helps me put things in
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: perspective sometimes of what we get to do, like what
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: this job is. Sometimes you know, you get you get
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: lost in different things and you think, you know, you're
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: having a bad day or whatever it is. But like
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: people like you do these kind of things for fun,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, and just because it's like I want to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: talk cowboys. I want to do that, and you know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you have a job and then you go home and
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: then you do that, and like we get to do that.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: So sometimes things like that put things in perspective for me,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: is that hey, you know, people would would kill for
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: moments like this because they're doing these things on their
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: quote free time. If that is such a thing.
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a great way to offloa some steam and
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: to get your thoughts out. And my family is allf
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: in New York and you know, my wife and kids.
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: You don't really watch football, so I know where you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: talking about this stuff. So you know, I get to
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: call in talk to you, which is great, and then
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: I get to you know, talk to whoever that wants
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: to listen to me out there and the ethers. So okay,
• 36:06
  Speaker 12: I appreciate that.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Cool cowboys offense.
• 36:10
  Speaker 12: They just need to embrace at this point who they are.
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: They're a passing team, and again, some of these more
• 36:16
  Speaker 12: difficult teams are going to face in the playoffs, they
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: need to embrace their passing attack. It's becoming like a
• 36:22
  Speaker 12: kind of pick your poison.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: You got the top three guys with Lamb and Cookes
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: and Ferguson, but then you got guys like Turpin who
• 36:27
  Speaker 12: they can throw in at any point. Take the lid offs.
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: You got obviously Cook, Gallop and uh Tolbert who have
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: been good. They're you know, decent enough. So I don't
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: want to see a lot of second and eleven, second
• 36:39
  Speaker 12: and twelve. If the running game is not working, don't
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: force that. I know there's a balance that you want
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: to have, but at some point you got to say,
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: let's let's let Dak cook here. If he's gonna throw
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: the ball forty five times and be successful, let's do it.
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: So that's all I want to say, and I want
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: to see some more of that. Oh real quick, too,
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: honorable mention for a Comeback Player of the Year Jordan Lewis.

• 37:12
  Speaker 1: his injury like this was this was a serious injury.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, like more than than than a lot of
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: people thought that this this was one. It wasn't even
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: from what I was told, wasn't even a like a
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: real it was. It was rare for football, So it's
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: more of an accident type foot injury. And uh, for
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: him to come back shows a lot and he never
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: he never never wavered on that. We'll have a story
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: on that today and some quotes from the trainers and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: things like that that have really helped him come along.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And the best part is that he's playing really really
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: good football right now too. You know, he's not just
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: coming back and limping around or whatever. He's coming back.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: He's playing well and uh really really helping all right,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: old on working on this trivia stuff here. All right, Uh,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: looks like we do have a winner. We do have
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: a winner here, and we're gonna see we can get
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: them on the line before we do that, though, Can
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: we go Chris? Can we go to Dave in Florida?
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: Yello's up?
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Dave there?
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: How you doing Nick good here?
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: All right? What do you got?
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: I'm a flowing and stall and listen to your show.
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: I listen to all the shows on the app Cowboys app.
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: Love it every day man, and just late lately, what
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: I'm hearing is, who do you want to play? Who
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: do you want to play? My statements, short and sweet.
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: We want to play against ourselves, caught ourselves accountable, no errors, penalties,
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: and we win.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Can you beat anybody doing that? I mean, like, do
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you think if the Cowboys did that, played their game
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: and didn't make mistakes, you think they could beat anyone?
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Even even the Niners.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: I think they'll give them a run for their money,
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: for sure. I think they can. But it's just every
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: year it's the same, my cso up and down, up
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: and down in penalty penalty penalties.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree. I mean, you know, and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: with the Niners, you're gonna have to you know, like
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting ahead, guys. They play Washington this week.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: We get that. And the same with Washington, they better
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: hit them in the mouth. I mean, I'm thinking take
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the ball. I'm thinking take the ball. A couple of
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: reasons if you win the toss. The reason why is
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: number one, they got to get ahead. You gotta get hit.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Number two, the difference between for twenty five in Washington
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and six point fifteen in Washington's going to be a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: lot colder, darker, maybe windy er. Who knows, but but
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the weather is going to be any
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: kind of issue, is probably gonna be later on as
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: it goes. Get the ball, go down there, score, get
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the lead, get on Washington, and get any doubt out
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: of their mind that they could be spoiler and all that.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: So so I think that that's the key for this game,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: jumping on them earlier. Okay, we got Jeff in North Carolina.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Is he ready to go? Yes, sir, Hey Jeff.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: How's it going? Nick?
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Good Man? How you doing?
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: I'm doing fine, doing fine, man. Uh just uh, I
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: just had a quick question the UH. I wondered if
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: the Cowboys would be interested in taking a look at
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: the UH. I can't remember his first name, the I
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: think his last name was bugs. The guy from the.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Detroit released this.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he got three and thirty pounds, and and I
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: know Brian, Brian had really when he was previewing, I
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: guess the lines going into last week, he saw a
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: lot of them.
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: Now he may have already been picked up by somebody,
• 40:47
  Speaker 14: and I thought, you know, yeah, he added to our depth,
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: you know, that would help.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I honestly I saw that too. I
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: was a little surprised because I thought he was a
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: guy that was kind of in their in their mix.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: The first question always is why, you know, like why
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: everybody likes good football players? You know, so is it
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: do they do they just have that many? I mean,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: you know, do they have just so many players? They
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: can't so something's going on there. Not sure why, So
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you always have to kind of figure out.
• 41:16
  Speaker 14: I think they had somebody to come off of the
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: r and that's why they you know, they they had.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: To let somebody go. But yeah, but you're right, you
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: always question.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think you got to look at it,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and this is the time of year to
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: look at players like that and and see, you know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: for even for next year. You know, hey, get him,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: get him on the team, and maybe he plays and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: then see, you know, if he's somebody you can you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: can keep, you know, for for next season. You know,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: your your your tackle. You know Hankins is you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's I think he's got a
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: one year deal and Gallimore's deals up, and so I mean,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know anything about the bugs who
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, but I'm just saying, uh, yeah, I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: mean if he if he could play. But again, got
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: to figure out why you know what it is about
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: you not being there? But yeah, I like what you're thinking.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's thinking all the way. I
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's would help so much this year,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe it does, but it would be maybe a future thing, so.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Right, And I was also one of your earlier calls
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: today was that talking about Marion Barber. And I can't
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: remember the whole story, but I remember, too, Jesse Holly,
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: when when Marion passed, he he told a good story
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: about how Marian had helped him, you know, before he
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: I guess when the process of him trying to get
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: back get into the NFL, and and it's just he
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: just thought so much marrying and I know his teammates,
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: I know you talked about his teammates how much they
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: love Mary and just a yeah, it's uh, I don't
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: really enjoyed. I have a Marion Barber jersey.
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: I have many jerseys, but I but I do have
• 42:54
  Speaker 14: a Marion Barber jersey. And and uh, I always just
• 42:58
  Speaker 14: love watching him play. Yeah, and he's going too soon?
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And and the way the way he played,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the sad irony is that the reason
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: why he was a fan favorite and a favorite probably
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: in the locker room is he played with with a
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: style that everybody loved. But unfortunately, you know, it seemed
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to kind of get the best of them as well.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Jeff, thank you for the call. Awesome. He
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: guys have been great today, really really good calls and
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and good attitude, good spirits. One more thing about Marion.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: He said about Jesse. Oh the thing with Jesse, and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: he'll say this, I mean, Jesse got here in two
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: thousand and ten, and you know we talked about this
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the other day, you know, from a reality TV show.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I mean that has never happened before. And so he
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: gets here. I mean, imagine what people are thinking about
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Jesse Holly when he gets here, you know, the player
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: as the veterans looking at him, like, what are we
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: doing here? You know, this is a joke, This is
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: a and U and Barber's been around. This is hit
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: you know, fourth or fifth year. And I think you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: some of the players said, now you know, hey, it
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter how you get here. You're a player, you're
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: a baller. Let's go, you know. And and and you know,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: he he's talked about that. There were some guys that
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: kind of gave him some some you know, some hard times,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: and there are others that that didn't. And I'm sure
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: you know Marion was one of those kind of put
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: him under his wing. And you don't ever forget that.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: All right. We started off the show we said, in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: case you know, in case you've joined us. A little
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: bit later, we started off the show by throwing out
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: of the trivia question and the winner of the question
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: gets two tickets to the Washington game this week, the
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Commander's game Sunday. Shelby, one of our callers from Virginia,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: offered the tickets up as a giveaway. I think he's
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: got four, he's got two extras will sit with him.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: So you had to answer the question correctly, and you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: had to also be available to go to the game.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: So and I tried to come up with a question
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: that was not something you could just google easily. Maybe
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: he did. Maybe I don't know. It doesn't sound like
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it was that easy. The question was what player returned
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: to punt for a touchdown against the Cowboys in week
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: one of a season but ended up leading the team
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: in punt return yards that season, got cut and ended
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: up joining the Cowboys. That was the question. We've had
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: answers of Dion Sanders and Isaiah Stanback and Lucky whitehead
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Harris. But let's go to the line. Let's go
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: to Mark in Philadelphia. Hey, Mark, how's it going pretty good?
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I'm good? So I got a question for you. What
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: player returned to punt for a touchdown to beat the
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Cowboys in week one of a season, but ended up
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: leading the team in punt returns later that season?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Derek Shepard.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Derek Shepherd, that is the answer. This winner. You are
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: the winner. Mark from Philly nineteen eighty nine against the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Saints twenty eight to nothing. The Saints won. Derek Shepherd.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Not sure what happened there. I guess that wasn't good
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: enough for the Saints to keep around. But back then
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine, you know, if if somebody got cut, oh,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Cowboys were like, let's go bring him in. So did
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: you remember the game or that season or look it up?
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: I remember the game.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: It was only here in Philadelphia. Actually I do remember
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: that game. Yeah, And I remember the season and the
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: one game today won that year was against the Washington
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Redskins and that game was on ESPN.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, sure was, sure was. Derek Shepherd was a player.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in Oklahoma and he was
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a receiver for Oklahoma. And by the way, to think,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Derek Shepherd's no longer with u RFP, but he he
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: was a receiver at Oklahoma when you know, they didn't throw,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: you know, they just ran the footballs. So it's hard
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: to kind of tell if he was a good player
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: or not, you know, in college to the NFL. But
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, you know, shifty punt returner, uh made some
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: plays and uh yeah he ended up you know, he
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: was a decent player for the Cowys that season. It
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: was a bad season for them, but yeah, they picked
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: him up off waivers, I guess. And you know and
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and he was the guy. So good stuff. How you
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: doing Mark? Getny question about this game? I mean, so
