- 0:20Speaker 2: Stands for Dallas as in his favorite NFL team. I
- 0:26Speaker 2: say favorite because I almost have to say a tongue
- 0:29Speaker 2: in cheek because he refuses to watch him because he's
- 0:31Speaker 2: been so discussed with such a conflicted world you have
- 0:34Speaker 2: on that where it's you know, your heart's desire team
- 0:40Speaker 2: and you can't bring yourself to watch them because you're
- 0:43Speaker 2: so angry with them for being not good or only
- 0:48Speaker 2: good enough to break your heart on a regular basis, and.
- 0:51Speaker 3: You're just tired of having your heart broken on a
- 0:53Speaker 3: regular basis. Is that how I'm reading this. There's no
- 0:55Speaker 3: confliction at all, Craig. I'm enjoying life right now. I'm
- 0:59Speaker 3: able to enjoy myself Thursday's Mondays whenever they play. Don't
- 1:03Speaker 3: really care when they play. You know, I have my
- 1:05Speaker 3: Carolina Panther friends who are living and dying with Andy
- 1:08Speaker 3: Dalton springing his thumb in a car accident. It means
- 1:10Speaker 3: Bryce Young is back. Bryce Young coming back. You know,
- 1:13Speaker 3: their mental health is in the gutter. I'm chilling, man,
- 1:16Speaker 3: I'm chilling. I'm enjoying life. You know, we got the
- 1:18Speaker 3: number five team in the country right now in Texas football,
- 1:22Speaker 3: we got basketball coming back, the sun and out.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It's a great time to be alive.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Right Well, I mean, what would happen to you if
- 1:29Speaker 3: like the Oklahoma City Thunder started, you know, just cratering
- 1:33Speaker 3: like the Cowboys and had bad ownership, And well, we
- 1:37Speaker 3: have Sam Presty, who I think is the best gym
- 1:39Speaker 3: in in basketball.
- 1:41Speaker 1: He's good.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys have Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, and Jerry's
- 1:47Speaker 3: more consumed with trying to figure out how they charge
- 1:50Speaker 3: ninety dollars for his tour AI tour at the Star
- 1:54Speaker 3: firstus trying to figure out why the Dallas Cowboys had
- 1:57Speaker 3: the worst rushing offense in the National Football League.
- 2:00Speaker 2: But you can we talked about this yesterday on the show.
- 2:04Speaker 2: You can spend ninety dollars for a tour of the
- 2:06Speaker 2: Star in Frisco where you actually have an AI experience
- 2:09Speaker 2: with the AI Jerry.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Or you can just throw your money into the trash can.
- 2:14Speaker 3: It's forty dollars for the basic tour.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I think it's what seventy dollars to get that that
- 2:21Speaker 2: VIP package where you would get the letter of authentach
- 2:25Speaker 2: authentication as a Cowboys fan from Jerry, so you can
- 2:28Speaker 2: put that in a frame, use it as a toilet paper.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And then the ninety dollars with the AI where you
- 2:34Speaker 2: get to ask Jerry question. You could ask Ai, Jerry,
- 2:37Speaker 2: why didn't you go after Derrek Henry and he can
- 2:40Speaker 2: say I'm not gonna hypathetical with you could do that
- 2:43Speaker 2: being tried. Yeah, that's right. So anyway, Okay, I get it,
- 2:48Speaker 2: I understand, I understand, and you're just kind of sailing along.
- 2:52Speaker 2: It's gonna be a weird re indoctrination for you. If
- 2:54Speaker 2: the Cowboys get good, though.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 2:57Speaker 3: It's not looking good. It's not looking good. Well, that's true.
- 3:00Speaker 3: We'll see how they do this weekend in San Francisco.
- 3:03Speaker 3: There is Thursday night football tonight. The team I have
- 3:08Speaker 3: so unfortunately, you know, shackled to the Los Angeles Rans
- 3:12Speaker 3: to play the Minnesota Vikings.
- 3:14Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 3:15Speaker 3: We're not treating Matt Stafford and Cooper Cup as of
- 3:18Speaker 3: two o four pm Central Time.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I'm happy about that. I'm happy about ye.
- 3:21Speaker 2: That would be all on talk about gutting the team.
- 3:25Speaker 1: If you do that, yeah, fall on rebuild.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Then you know, does that means Seann mcfay is going
- 3:29Speaker 3: to go somewhere else because I don't think he wants
- 3:31Speaker 3: to sit.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Through a right rebuild, a total rebuild as well.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So anyway they play tonight, it's a big high school
- 3:36Speaker 3: game tonight, vist Ridge and Mayne are playing, and Roger
- 3:41Speaker 3: Wallace and Keith Morland calling that along with Noah Gross
- 3:45Speaker 3: and that's on kbv O.
- 3:46Speaker 1: That's their big game of the week because there could.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Be all kinds of chaos for playoff spots in twenty
- 3:53Speaker 2: five six A if Maynor were to pull the surprise,
- 3:57Speaker 2: uh and they've been tie breakers, get in all that
- 4:00Speaker 2: kind of stuff. If Vista wins, though, it's it's they
- 4:04Speaker 2: are all but in the playoffs. In fact, they could
- 4:07Speaker 2: even clinch a playoff spot if Vista Ridge wins tonight
- 4:09Speaker 2: and then if say Westwood were to lose tomorrow, then
- 4:14Speaker 2: then then I think they would be in because they
- 4:18Speaker 2: would have an insurmountable lead before even having played Westwood
- 4:21Speaker 2: and the Old the Tiebreakers on McNeil and see the Ridge,
- 4:24Speaker 2: and would on Manor and Stony Point.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Nice to have with three weeks ago in the season. Yeah,
- 4:29Speaker 3: if you're spotlight, Yeah if if it happens that way.
- 4:32Speaker 3: But but Mayner has shown some spunk and fight in
- 4:35Speaker 3: some games, so we'll see how that goes. So there's
- 4:37Speaker 3: a big game that there's NBA tonight toward that in
- 4:43Speaker 3: the Spurs open their season in Dallas against the Mavericks.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Bill Shooning, our good friend, my longtime broadcast partner and
- 4:49Speaker 3: co host of the program here will join us coming
- 4:52Speaker 3: up in a few minutes to talk about this this
- 4:56Speaker 3: wemb two point zero version of the Spurs, and that
- 5:01Speaker 3: includes Chris Paul.
- 5:02Speaker 2: So we'll visit with Bill Shooning. He'll join us from Dallas,
- 5:06Speaker 2: coming up in a few minutes. So the first full
- 5:10Speaker 2: lawn evening of NBA action took place last night after
- 5:14Speaker 2: the Tuesday night games of Lakers, timber.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Wolves and.
- 5:20Speaker 2: The Celtics and the nick So there was a full variety.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have the NBA.
- 5:26Speaker 3: League Pass yet, right, did not, but you know, ESPNTO
- 5:29Speaker 3: two games going on. I was following through Twitter on
- 5:32Speaker 3: the other games and got to see the Suns Clippers
- 5:34Speaker 3: and Katie knocking down Man such a tough jumper to
- 5:37Speaker 3: tie it up and sent it in the overtime where
- 5:40Speaker 3: they pulled it out, and it was cool seeing the endo.
- 5:42Speaker 3: It don't Greg, I don't know if you saw it.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Early fourth quarter, Katie had had two shots of the
- 5:48Speaker 3: pre throw line in that new like wall behind behind
- 5:53Speaker 3: the basket, you know, and they were going crazy. And Katie,
- 5:56Speaker 3: who was a good three throw shooter, you know, he's
- 5:58Speaker 3: part of the fifty to forty ninety club. Him and
- 6:00Speaker 3: Larry bird A one time in his career, missed both
- 6:03Speaker 3: and he said postgame, you know, yeah, it's crazy. It's
- 6:06Speaker 3: gonna give a lot of opposing team trouble. It's cool
- 6:09Speaker 3: to see a professional basketball team because you know, let's
- 6:13Speaker 3: see it with new basketball arenas like Moody where you know,
- 6:16Speaker 3: they're the sign for for college basketball and other things.
- 6:19Speaker 3: But most professional new stadiums, right, Craig, they're they're just
- 6:22Speaker 3: signed as entertainment venues. That's correct, because the stadium, Yeah,
- 6:26Speaker 3: so far allegiate, those aren't, you know? They don't really
- 6:29Speaker 3: scream out home field advantage, but Steve Balmer obviously into it.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Dome is gonna, you know, have concerts.
- 6:35Speaker 3: But he also made it so it's going to create
- 6:37Speaker 3: a home court advantage, and I like seeing that from
- 6:39Speaker 3: an NBA team.
- 6:40Speaker 2: He looked he viewed that as being the next piece
- 6:42Speaker 2: to try to get the Clippers over the top. Also
- 6:46Speaker 2: this morning, Steve Sarkishan had his weekly Thursday media Zoom session.
