• 0:12
  Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline, presented by Gillette, the official shave
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Here's Nick Eatman. Good morning. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. This
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: is Nick Eatman. It's September 24th. It's the final show
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of the week. For this show, for this podcast, Cowboy Storyline,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to Brazil tonight. I think everybody's heard about that,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: heard about this trip, talking about it. Some people excited.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Just walked by someone in the hall just now. Just
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: walked by five minutes ago. And not someone I talk
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to often at all and said, hey. They asked me,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: are you going on the trip tonight? I'm like, yeah,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I'll be there. You excited? No, I don't want to go.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay, well. See you later. Like big gulps.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, I don't, I don't know. I'm,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about it. I mean, that's, you know, I've
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: been to every, you know, stadium four or five times
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: for Buffalo. Hadn't been to that one. I've been just
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to a few countries. So this is, this is cool.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: It's going to be, it's going to be an interesting trip.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And as far as the, you know, the game goes,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it'll be very intriguing to see what happens in this
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: matchup and how the Cowboys can, can handle Baltimore. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: don't think, I think Baltimore is struggling and, um in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: some areas and then the Cowboys are struggling in some
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and it seems like when you kind of look at
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: this matchup from a fan base standpoint like you know
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the fan base is kind of worried about what they
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: don't do well and if Cowboy fans are like man
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm running the ball well and they don't stop the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: run well and Baltimore is going to hurt you in
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: both of those areas Baltimore fans are going we don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: have anybody in the secondary and we're going to get
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: torched by Seedy and Pickens and Dak and all that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: That's where weather is going to factor in, the field conditions,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: because if it's a throw-it-around-the-yard type of venue, then I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: think the Cowboys will have a really good chance to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: win this. If it's not, if it's going to be
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like Mud Bowl.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: 23, then, you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, if the Cowboys, you know, if this game ends, like,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to look like the Browns, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: because their jerseys are that color, not good. Not good
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: at all because it won't play into their strengths. But, hey,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. Can't control any of that. All right, 888-855-2297.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Let's get to our phone lines. Chris in Saratoga Springs,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: lead us off.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: What's going on, Nick?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: What's up, dude?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Not too much. Just wanted to say safe travels to
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Brazil today. For you and Chris Beam.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Thanks, man. Appreciate that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to ask.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: You guys if you had any sightseeing plans, but the
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: rumor I heard was you won't be allowed off the
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: hotel premises.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, Chris, we haven't tried this elevator. We've been in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: these two elevators, but we haven't done that elevator yet.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: We haven't gone up that one yet. And this escalator,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: don't even know what that's about. So you know what?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I was told a couple days ago, get your mind right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Get your mind right for this trip, and be excited
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for what it is. Don't worry about what it isn't,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and I think it'll be fine. I'm not much of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a sightseer anyways, seriously. I've been to New York 31 times,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and I've seen the Statue of Liberty however many times
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we drive by it on the way. So, you know
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: what I mean? I don't really go do all that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: But we probably would. We would have been in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: different country and go see some different things, and who
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: knows what this is going to be like. I think
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it's going to be fun.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: All right, I just want to give you my keys
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: of the game versus Baltimore. One, control the time of possession. Two,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I would like to load the box, make Lamar and
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: the Ravens beat you in the air rather than on
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the ground. Three, establish some sort of running game. And four,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: finish on pass rushers. Get this quarterback to the ground
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: if we have the chance. Those are my four keys
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: to the game. My only question for you today is–
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Do you think they're going to activate Tyler Goodson to
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: give us some sort of change of pace back this week,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: or do you think it's going to be another week
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: until he's ready with the playbook and stuff?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know if Tyler
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Goodson's ready. I think that they need that kind of speed.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: They need that kind of agility. But I can't tell
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you that if he's ready to roll. It would be good,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and they got him.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: For a reason.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's not like they knew DiMarcato was here. They got
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a chance to bring him in, so I think the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: writing's on the wall that at some point he'll be ready.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: If he's ready right now, this would be a good
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: time for it because it could be one of those
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: running-type games.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: All right, well, enjoy yourself. Be safe.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Chris, appreciate it. All right, that's a good
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: first start. Let's keep it moving. Michael in Bowling Green. Michael,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I think you've called every day this week. What's up, man?
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm hoping y'all have a great time, and I
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: hope everything works out. But I'm going to give you
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: my prediction. I'm not going to give you a score,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: but I'm going to tell you what's going to happen.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: The Cowboys and the flock are going to go back
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: and forth the whole game. It's going to go into overtime.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: The flock is going to go on an eight-minute drive,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: but they're going to have to settle for a field call.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: The Cowboys are going to get the ball back. They're
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: going to go down, and with no time left on
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: the clock, Brandon Aubrey's going to kick a 63-yard field
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: goal for another tie.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Another tie?
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Another tie.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know, Michael, respectfully, I hate this call. I hate
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: your prediction in every way. Number one, I'm not actually
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: packing a tie. I won't be wearing a tie for
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this trip because I don't want to see a tie.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And another thing, 10-hour flight awaits us on the way back.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You want to play, instead of just playing four quarters,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you want to play a fifth quarter, and then it
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: ends with nothing. You want us to go all the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: way to Brazil, come back, be there for three days
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: on lockdown, Go there and play a game, and it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: doesn't even matter. Nobody wins or loses, and we fly
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: 10 hours back. No, thank you. I hate this call, Michael. Respectfully.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't want it to happen. It's just going
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: to happen.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You know what? I mean, a 63-yard field goal, I'd
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: just throw it up to Pickens. I mean, at that point,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, 63 yards or just a tie?
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Nah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: But, no, I don't like that. So don't put that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to the universe.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I knew you wouldn't like it. That's why I had
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: to do it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody likes that tie.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: All right, man.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: All right, Michael. I don't want to see a tie.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I've already seen one. I've seen one. It's not fun.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was watching the game the other night.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Chiefs and Colts. I mean, I just don't understand why
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it's got to be 10 minutes. Why?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: just the, the way it, the way it's set up
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like that. I don't, I don't know. I like just
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: play another quarter. I mean, just do what, do whatever
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you can to avoid a tie. It's not good for
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the records. It's not good for the standings. It's not,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: it messes everything up. Like I get the health of
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the players, but you know, they, they play every Thursday
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: night and you know, they, they, they, they, they worry
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: about that kind of stuff until, you know, until it's,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: it affects them. So Five more minutes to try to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: settle a game and not a tie I think would
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: be worth it. All right, Josh. Real quick.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: You know it's going to come down to a field
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: goal from a former MLS soccer player at a National
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: Brazil Soccer Stadium.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: That's what I think.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to come down to that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Good. All right. All right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh in Chicago.
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: Hey, man, Chris is trying to steal my thunder and
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: my call, actually, because that's exactly what I was planning
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: on talking about.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with you guys? Sorry, Josh.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Josh.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I apologize.
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: Well, this offseason, there was that article out where Aubrey
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: was talking about how excited he is to play in Rio,
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: and I think that's going to be awesome, and I
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: think there's been past games with Baltimore where it just
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: sort of seems to come.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Down with Baltimore.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: There's always a big kick at the half, or there's
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: a big kick somewhere in the game that really impacts
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: the outcome, so... I just think that that's going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: happen with Aubrey, and I hope the field conditions and
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: his golden boot is going to be good.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Enough for us.
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: In this stadium for him. I really hope he has
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: an awesome game.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I know that the people that are upset about
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the field are soccer players. I mean, they're the ones
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that do not like the field. And as far as
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: playing football and running the ball and the defensive linemen
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, who knows how it's
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: going to affect them. But from a kicking standpoint, it
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like it's favoring them. So that's why, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know how. I mean, the kicking
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: game is going to be a big factor in this,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: whether it be just footing for Field goals and kickoffs
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: So I'll just give my prediction really quick. I've got
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: a bold prediction this week. I think that special teams
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: and the defense are going to score touchdowns. I'm going
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: to give a final score of, let's go, 37 to
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: 24 Cowboys. All right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: Thanks, man.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Have a good week.
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: Safe travels.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Fun game. Defensive touchdowns, special teams touchdowns. Those would be
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: fun if that happens. I do think so. kicking game
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is going to be very important in this one.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: All right. J.R.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: In Evandale is next.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Morning, Nick. How are you doing?
• 9:39
  Speaker 12: Good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: All hanging in there. All right. Hey, thanks, everybody. Thanks, everybody,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that reached out. Thoughts and prayers. I know my figure
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: will be October the 28th, and I'm going to come
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: out better on the other side.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: 30 more years of rooting for the Cowboys. Anyway, Chris.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Stole my thunder as well. It's everything I wanted to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: talk about. I'd like to see the Cowboys just control
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. I think we've seen that they don't do
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: very well against these guys that can get away, Jackson
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Dart or Daniels, both of these. And Jackson thought it
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: was more planned runs, and Daniels just avoided them. So
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I'd rather them stay in their lanes, bring some pressure
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: with the blitz, and just don't let him kill us.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: As has already been said, beat us with the pass.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm a little disappointed in the defense. I think
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: I had my Dallas Cowboy goggles on a little too tight.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: You tried to tell us and warn us about that, but,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: of course, I didn't listen. And I thought they'd be
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a lot better, but I think they're improving defensively. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: saw Caleb Downs has two forced fumbles, a pass breakup,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and a sack. It's not only the three guys who
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: do it in two games, so that's a positive. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I look for Caleb Downs. He's going to break out
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: this game. He's going to have a huge game, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys are going to win this game. I don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: care what the score is as long as they win
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: because they're 2-1. And that's where everyone thought they'd be anyway.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So that's all I got. Thanks for taking my call.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Have a great day, Nick. Go Cowboys.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Thanks, JR. Chris stealing more things? I don't know what's
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: going on. I mean, I haven't seen you steal this
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: much since the last time we played Fortnite. So, I mean,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: what's going on here?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Seriously? Whiz. I'm just kidding. You know, that stat he's
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: talking about with Caleb Downs, it was– I didn't like
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it because I thought they could have done even better
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: than that. The stat that's been going around that we
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: used was he's one of three players in the history
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of the NFL to have two forced fumbles and a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: sack in the first two games of his career. I mean,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that sounds good, but the other two guys was a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: defensive end and a linebacker. I mean, I probably would
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: have said that Caleb Downs is the only defensive back
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL to do this. I mean, so...
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Either way, three is good. One, especially at his position
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to do a sack and two forced fumbles from the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: safety position. I mean, it's never been done before. So anyways,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you know, we asked this guy to come in here
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and be a difference maker. And he's making a difference.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: He's playing well. I don't know if it's, you know, hasn't.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: carry the whole defense like that i don't think he
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: could do it by himself you know i don't know
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: if troy palomalu and ed reed would have would have
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: done that without other help up front so um you
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: know it's tough to do from the safety position but
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: but what you want to do is be a dynamic
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: player in a in a game changer and so far
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: he's been able to do that all right anthony miami.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Take it quick what's up my god how you doing Hey,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: you ready for Rio, Brazil, all that stuff?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: You know what? Is Rio ready for me? That's what
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I want to know. No, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you why. Nick, I saw
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: something early this morning, brother, when I'm searching all my
• 12:57

  Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, I'm out on these.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I mean. I got you. Hey, I'm going to give
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you some advice.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: He still hasn't figured that out.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Want to get some good views? Yeah. Didn't Shannon say
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: one time a long time ago you and him had
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: an office close by each other, next door to each other?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: We shared an office. It was actually really close because
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: we shared an office for nine years.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Y'all don't have that no more?
• 13:48
  Speaker 14: No.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Well, Shannon doesn't work here, and he's on the shows,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't work up in the offices anymore. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: got my own office for now.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: That would have been a great setting right there, man.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Y'all too. Yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if Keep It A Cowboys was going back then,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: we would have had some that, you know, we would
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: have probably got about 50%. You know, half of them
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: we could post, the other half they're like, no, we
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: can't do that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Man, two characters, brother. Two totally opposite kind of news.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: But I can tell y'all are friends, man. That's just
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: how friends work. But anyway, I'm looking at this thing, right?
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: And I gave you a score last time, 33-22, using
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: my Cowboy Running Backs as my scores. I'm going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: kind of make that a thing. I'm going with a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: crazy unusual score. I'm going Walt Garrison, 32, DeMarco Mary, 29.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Only because it is Brazil, and it's going to be crazy.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: And I heard Lamar said, I don't know about the Cowboys.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I respect the Cowboys being the American team in America, but,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you know, this Brazil. So you never know how games
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: like that are going to go, man. I just hope
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: the defense is ready and, you know, that focus is
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: on the run. I'm thinking about 140. 140 for Lamar
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: and Henry, you can win a game like that. Up
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: to my combined.
• 15:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Anything over that? I'm not going to say we're going
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: to have a chance, but Dak is going to have
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to have one of them spectaculars again. But this time
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: it's going to have to be Pick, Ferg. Both of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: them showed up, Ferg and CD. But it's going to
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: have to be the three amigos that are going to
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: have to show up. And you don't know how long
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that type of thing is going to last and when
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: they're going to make a mistake. So I'm giving you that, man,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and I'm happy. Y'all have a safe trip. Thanks. And
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Cowboys for the win, baby.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Anthony.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Have a good one. Yeah, I saw the clip that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Lamar said. It was one of those things where– I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: think the league posted it, you know, and like it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be something kind of, you know, controversial or,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: you know, bulletin board or whatever. I mean, he was
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: asked about America's team and he was like, oh, this
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: is Brazil. Well, I mean, Brazil is actually in America, too. So,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, like South America, North America. I mean, I
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: don't think it ever, you know, we haven't ever had
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a designation there. It's just America's team. So, but. doesn't matter. Um,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I thought, I thought his answer was, was, was funny
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and it was, it was actually a good answer. You know, he,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: he's a, they don't want to talk about that kind
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of stuff. So I didn't think it was anything, anything wrong.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of funny. He's, he's a,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I have no hate on Lamar Jackson.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: None.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I think he's a phenomenal player. He's not a running quarterback.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: He's a freaking quarterback that can run really well. We
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: were looking at his passer rating. It's the highest passer
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: rating in the history of the NFL. So it's not
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: like he's just, you know, he just goes out there
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and tries to sling it around a little bit. He
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: does a very, very good job. I think he's really good.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He's so good that when 2020, when they had COVID
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and he had COVID and he was going to miss
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the game, the NFL says, you know what? We can't
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: do that. We can't have a game without him. So
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: let's move it to Wednesday. Let's play a Wednesday game.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: And so that's Cowboys played a Wednesday game. against the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Ravens because he had COVID. I mean, he can't miss
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a game with COVID. I mean, meanwhile, Dak's hurt, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they're playing Garrett Gilbert, and then Andy Dalton's got COVID,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and he can't play, and we're playing four different guys
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: out there. But if Lamar has COVID, hold up. We're
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: going to move it to Wednesday. Do you think there's
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: some shade there where I'll bring an umbrella? All right,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Lester in Minnesota, what's up?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Nick.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Hey, safe travels to Brazil. And be careful out there.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: Even though I know you don't sightsee, but be careful
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: because we don't want to hear on the news somewhere
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: that Nick is unavailable because we can't find him.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: He got lost in Brazil.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: No, I don't expect to venture out that much. Like
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, we'll see. We'll see what the
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: hotel has to offer and all that. But I don't
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: see us going too crazy. You know what I mean?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: There was– There were some people that were like, what?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Can't go anywhere? I haven't heard Chris upset about it either.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: So it's like, it is what it is.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: But my game plan would be, if it was me,
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: I would just try to stop the run. I mean,
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: of course, mix it up. Because I've noticed when the
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Baltimore quarterback, I'm going to call him that today, is
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: in a pressure situation, i.e. the playoffs, it seems like
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: he wants to prove that he's a passer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And he is.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: Like you say, he has the best passer rating in history.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: But I think he tries to overprove that. So make
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: him a passer. Make him feel that pressure again. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: think that would be the way to beat them. My
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: score for the game would be 37.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Cowboys, 25-10.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Baltimore Ravens. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Boys, I'm out.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Lester. 37-25. Josh in Chicago at 37-24. A lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of 30s. I don't know if it's going to be
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that high scoring. I don't know. I haven't really gotten
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: there yet as far as prediction-wise. I probably have to
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: by tomorrow morning when I get on the radio. But
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't gotten there yet. I kind of want to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: see the field. I really do. I want to see
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: what this is really going to be. I'm sure it's
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: going to be fine, but if it's not going to
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: be an up-and-down type of game, I don't know. It
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: certainly doesn't favor the Cowboys, and I don't think it
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: favors a lot of points being scored. Even if you
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: get down to the 30-yard line and you're like, drive stalled,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: kick field goal, 47-yard or 48-yard or whatever, usually good.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: you know, but I don't know. A game like this,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, are you going to have some opportunities that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: are missed? Who knows? All right, Chuck D., Bridge City, Texas.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: What's going on, Nick?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Good, good.
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: I got on a few days in a row. I'm
• 19:59
  Speaker 13: feeling great about that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 15: I know, I know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: What's going on over here? Like, did you find your
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: phone or something like that? Like, you couldn't find it,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and now you found it, and now you're calling. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: like it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes, sir.
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: My hot take, I was hoping Quinn Williams would be
• 20:15
  Speaker 13: more of an impact player, like you see Aaron Donald
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: come out of retirement and he instantly, you could tell,
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: tripling into He's making rushes. I hadn't seen that from
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: Quinnen and saw on other podcasts. I think maybe he's hurt.
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: I want to see what you thought about that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I do not think he's hurt. I don't. I think
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: he signed a deal in the offseason of $ 35 million
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: a year, and I think that everyone is expecting him
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to come in and absolutely throw people around and have
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: this wreckage and no one's going to run on him.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And that's just not the case. Is he playing well?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I think he is.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I actually do think he's playing well. Go watch the tape.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Go watch these two Washington linemen try to block him
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: on multiple plays. Not just one. Multiple plays of him
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: busting through and doing his job. I think there's a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: lot of focus on Quinnen Williams, if I'm being really
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: honest about it. because of the money and what they
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: expect and the first-round pick and all that. But for
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the double teams that he's getting, I don't think we're
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: talking about Kenny Clark as much as we probably should be.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I think that combination, I think Quinton's playing a lot better,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: and I think we need to talk more about the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: fact that the whole defensive tackle position is not playing
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: like they thought it was going to be an absolute strength.
• 21:30
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's maybe I'm not, you know, I can't
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: study film like other people, but I just... Watching it
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: from the couch, you would think he would be more
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: of an impact player, and maybe he is. I'm just
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: not seeing it that way.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: You know what, though? I don't want to be a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: hypocrite here. That's fair. That's fair to say as far
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: as being a little bit more of an impact. Me too. But,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you just look at it, he is
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: playing well. He had four pressures in the game the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: other day. I mean, four pressures from a defensive tackle
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: position is pretty good. He's had a forced fumble this
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: year that led to a turnover. You know, he's playing well,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: but they're running the ball on this team you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: too much. I mean, there's way too many rushing yards
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on this team, and it starts right there in the middle,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: and he's part of that. So I'm not going to
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: say that he's fine. Not saying that. I'm saying he's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: playing well, but they need more from him, and they
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: need more from Kenny Clark and Otito and Bullard and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that whole group up front.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Chuck.
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: Appreciate it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Have a good one. We're going to take our first
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: break here on Cowboys Storyline. We'll be right back.

  Speaker 14: go say hello with some beers. Make the plans. Forget
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: the couch. Go to that thing. Play the game. See
• 22:47
  Speaker 14: him in person. Talk to that stranger. Live a little.

• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the border. Not as far south as we are going tonight,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: but Mexico City, Armando.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Hey, Nick.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 25:13
  Speaker 15: Fine, fine. Getting excited for the game. Getting closer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 25:21
  Speaker 15: So, Nick, I have a... I know you like trivia
• 25:24
  Speaker 15: with other guys. So do you know that the Cowboys
• 25:30
  Speaker 15: are going to become the first and only NFL team
• 25:34
  Speaker 15: to have played in the three most important soccer stadiums
• 25:37
  Speaker 15: around the world? Maracanã in Brazil, Wembley in London, and
• 25:41
  Speaker 15: Azteca in Mexico City.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 25:43
  Speaker 15: That's a piece of trivia for the future.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: What about AT & T? I mean, I saw they
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: had some World Cup games. Are they not on the list?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm not going there. I'm kidding.
• 25:57
  Speaker 15: Not as a pure soccer stadium.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah. No, I hear you. That's awesome. I didn't
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: know that. I honestly didn't know that they were considered
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: like that. I've heard this is a very historic stadium
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff, but I didn't know it was
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: considered one of the top three soccer stadiums of all time.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: So that's really cool. That'll be at least one Saturday.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Saturday we get to go over there and just kind
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of check it out and see, you know, what it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: all about. And you're going to see a thousand, you know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: pictures from the media that's there with the grass and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: all this stuff like that. But, I mean, yeah, it'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: be cool to check it out.
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I was going to ask you, whenever you guys
• 26:44
  Speaker 15: do an international game like this one, Does the team
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: have any free time to go around sightseeing or something
• 26:51
  Speaker 15: like that? Or just business all the time?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously it depends on your approach. The Rams and
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the 49ers took a different approach, obviously, going to Australia.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: When we were there in London, we got there Tuesday. Um,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: this is, this is, we're getting there Thursday. And as
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: far as sightseeing goes, I don't think so. I don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: think that, no, I mean, actually I know. So we
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: won't be doing that. We won't be going around. Um,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's, it's the safest place for us
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to be doing that. Um, but, but it just depends
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: on the trip. It depends on where you're going and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: all that. And, and also, you know, the, the market and, and,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I, I'll say this. When we go to Mexico,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: which I believe we'll go next year, I don't think
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: we're going in on a Sunday or on a Saturday
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: like a road game, which we could because it'll be
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a shorter trip than some of the other ones we
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: go to. But I have a feeling that we're going
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to be going a little bit longer than that. So
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: it depends on a lot of things, the factors, the market,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 14: I see.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 27:54
  Speaker 15: Well, whenever you do come to Mexico– I'll take you
• 27:59
  Speaker 15: and Chris for some real tacos and some real tequila.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Deal.
• 28:04
  Speaker 15: Okay, have a nice one.
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: See you.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Deal, yep.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: That's fine because, you know, I like the tacos. Chris
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: likes the tequila. It's all good. I mean, that would
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: be a good combination. I'll probably be drinking water, but whatever.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: All right. Carlos in Katy, Texas. What's up?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: How are you doing today? I'm good.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 28:24
  Speaker 18: Pretty good. You excited about this 10-hour flight?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not excited about a 10-hour flight, okay?
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: But I'm excited about the trip. I mean, I'm excited
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: to be there. I'm at a 10-hour flight when I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: don't sleep on a plane. But I've got a couple
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: of good shows that I'm kind of figuring out which
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: ones I want to watch and movies and stuff like that. So, yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I've got some stuff.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Good.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I'll be fine. Depends on who I'm next to, how
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: much room I've got.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely.
• 28:57
  Speaker 18: Well, I'm sure there's some shows out there that you
• 29:00
  Speaker 18: could binge watch.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm downloading them, I think, as we speak. Is
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: this first time caller?
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: No, sir.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I've called.
• 29:08
  Speaker 18: I've listened to you for the last 20 years. You've
• 29:15
  Speaker 18: really grown your... your platform so i like listening to
• 29:18
  Speaker 18: you i like i like.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that i appreciate that i just don't remember from
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: from storyline i just i don't you know i chart
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: all the calls i don't really remember katie texas so
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: um but but if so hey i think it's a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: here we go anyways though because it's been a while
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: right chris I appreciate you. All right. All right, Carlos,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: what you got?
• 29:38
  Speaker 18: So, you know, I think like most Cowboy fans, you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 18: when we brought Christian Parker in, we thought some of us,
• 29:44
  Speaker 18: I guess, or maybe a lot, thought that he was
• 29:47
  Speaker 18: going to just have this immediate impact. And, you know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 18: I've been, again, listening to a lot of different platforms
• 29:53
  Speaker 18: on the Cowboys talks, and this defense is a very
• 29:58
  Speaker 18: heavy communication defense. and everything that I have been listening
• 30:03
  Speaker 18: to is a lot of people are saying that you're
• 30:06
  Speaker 18: talking about almost a month, potentially, for the players to
• 30:10
  Speaker 18: really get in the groove, get in the zone. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 18: think what kind of makes it a little bit harder
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: for us is that some of the main signal callers,
• 30:19
  Speaker 18: if you will, are not in there, so they're kind
• 30:21
  Speaker 18: of scrambling to figure out what they're going to do.
• 30:24
  Speaker 18: But I did hear another interesting fact that when Dan
• 30:27
  Speaker 18: Quinn came in, the first two games of the season,
• 30:31
  Speaker 18: the yards and points scored were more than what Christian
• 30:36
  Speaker 18: Parker's defense has been. So, you know, I just kind
• 30:38
  Speaker 18: of want to get your take on the communication aspect and,
• 30:44
  Speaker 18: you know, maybe we can kind of temper some of
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: the expectations a little bit from the Cowboys' fan side
• 30:51
  Speaker 18: and just, you know, give Christian and really the team
• 30:54
  Speaker 18: and players a little bit more– opportunity to really show
• 30:58
  Speaker 18: what they can really do once everybody's kind of healthy
• 31:02
  Speaker 18: and once this communication is really going. So I'll take
• 31:05
  Speaker 18: your comments off the air, but I will give you
• 31:07
  Speaker 18: my prediction. I think it's going to be 24-17 Cowboys.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: All right, 24-17. All right, Carlos, appreciate the call. Now,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: let's be fair about everything now because you're talking about
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: when Dan Quinn started in the first two games, they
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: had given up more. Yeah, so Cowboys giving up this
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: year 28 and– So 48 points. And is that right?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: 37 to 20? 28, 20. So 48 points. And I'm
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: looking at 2021. I believe that was Dan Quinn's first year.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And the Cowboys gave up 48 points. Now, to be fair,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the two quarterbacks the Cowboys have faced this year are
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Jackson Dart and Jaden Daniels. And then Marcus Mariota. The
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: two quarterbacks that Quinn faced were Tom Brady and Justin Herbert.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: They're both on the road. So, you know, I don't know.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that was a little tougher matchup.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: But you can't really compare everything there. Because then, okay,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: but that's fine. If you want to compare that, then
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: they went on and won six straight games. So if
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: they're going to do that, that's great. One thing that
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: happened that year is that in week two, Dan Quinn
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: decided or they found out that, you know, Micah Parsons
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: can rush off the edge, not just a linebacker. He's
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: actually a pass rusher. And then they did that and
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: unleashed him. So if they've got something like that in
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: their arsenal, I'm all for it. But let's talk about
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: for what it is. Christian Parker. the communication, and it
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: has to get better. It needs to continue to grow
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: and develop. And you're right when you said the linebackers
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: being out certainly don't help the situation. Who's the green dot,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: trading helmets, this and that. So, you know, if you
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: had a steady voice and, you know, player in there,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that would certainly change things. So, Anyways, I think he'll
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: continue to be good. I think Christian Parker is a
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: good coach, and I think that they're going to figure
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: this out. They've got good young pieces. They've got young
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: players that are playing well. Barham's playing well. Obviously, Caleb
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Downs is playing well. These other guys, we'll get it
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: flowing there. They just need these guys to get home
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: on the outside. I really think that changes everything. If
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Ezra Rock could win... Gary can win a little bit
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: more off the edge. Von Miller gets going as well.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I think then you'll see some of the other parts
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: of it playing really well too. All right, Mike in Birmingham, England.
• 33:42
  Speaker 13: Greetings from England, Nick.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: How are you doing?
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: All excited?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doing good. Ready to go. Ready to roll.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: I'll tell you what I'm excited about after Michael's call.
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: I'm excited that we get to spend another year discussing
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: the merits of a tie. So that's going to be
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: a lot of fun with you.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Yay.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yay, ties.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Nope.
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: So I just wanted to talk about the field or
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: the pitch, as we would call it, being a soccer
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: stadium and all this hoo-ha. This is soccer players. I mean,
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: first of all, they all whinge about everything. But secondly,
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: especially Brazilian soccer players and the style that they play,
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: quick passing along the ground. they're going to be complaining
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: about every little bump and whatever. I really don't think
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: this is going to be a factor. I don't think
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: the field is going to be any worse than what
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: we saw at Oxnard or any worse than your typical
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: NFL grass field. So I think that's a whole load
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: of fuss about nothing. I mean, I've never been. It's
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: a bucket list thing to go to the American Art. So,
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: you know, I hope you love that. I hope you
• 34:59
  Speaker 12: take it all in. And I'm sure it's going to
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: be a fantastic experience. But when the game came out
• 35:05
  Speaker 12: that they're going to Brazil, I was gutted because I
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: need them to come over here. And my son works
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: at Wembley Stadium.
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: You work at Dallas Cowboys.
• 35:14
  Speaker 12: I feel like the two of you could sort this out.
• 35:15
  Speaker 13: For me, you know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: But I'll get you together to work on it. Not
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: feeling massively confident on this one. But what I am
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: really enjoying is seeing young guys, young coaches, young players
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: figuring it out. And that's not going to look perfect
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: all along the way. But what it is going to
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: do is it's going to get better and better. So
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: I can't predict against my Cowboys. So I'm going 30
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: to 27 Cowboys. And let's go. Have a great trip.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you so much. Appreciate that, Mike.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: 30-27.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we'll see what the pitch is like.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: That's what I've heard as well as far as where
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the criticism and complaints have been is from soccer players, which,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you know, it is different. And, I mean, you have
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to have everything is done on that surface, every kick, everything.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: So it's just different. And it doesn't mean that it
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: can't be improved and they haven't been working on it
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and things like that. But I do agree with you
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: on what Mike said, that it's probably fine. It's probably
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: not going to be much of an issue. And at least,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: as I've said a few times already today, that you know,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: let's hope so from the Cowboys standpoint. I think that
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: that benefits them more than anything because it plays into
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: their strength. Their strength is to throw the ball around and,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you know, and not really have it as a ground
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: and pound type of game. All right, Nico in Colorado
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Springs is up.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Hey, what up, Cowboy Nation? How you guys doing?
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Nick, how are you, sir?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: How are you? I am doing great, thank you. Hey,
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: I didn't get a chance to call in with the Redskins. Yes,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I said what I said. So I'm going to just
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: do this real quick. I bet Redskin Flash Commander fans
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: absolutely hate having a C in their name because HHTR
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: is no longer the thing. It's Hail to the Cowboys.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: That's why we always keep that C. Also, keep in
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: mind we still own that song, Redskin Fans.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Sucks to suck.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: We are better than you. So last thing I want
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: to do is... I want to shout out something, and
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm allowed to do it on
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: this platform. So, Nick, if I'm not allowed to, tell
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: me to shut up, and I will. I wanted to
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: let the storyliners know that I went ahead and voted
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: for Irene to be the fan of the year on DallasCowboys.com.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: And I thought it would be cool as heck to
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: have all the storyliners go on there and flood it
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: for Irene so we can get our green dots. the
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: fan of the year, so that maybe she can experience
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: something that kind of cool. And I just thought that
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: would be cool to mention out there. Nick, that's all
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: I got. I think we're going to wreck the Ravens,
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: quote the Ravens nevermore. No, I say quote the Cowboys.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: How about them, Cowboys? And that's all I got. Remember,
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: love your mothers, everybody, and ask for help, and let's
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: get rowdy.
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Like it. All right, Nico. Yeah, that's... I don't have
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: any issue with that. So if that's what it is
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: and you guys want to go and she's one of
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: the nominees, and I don't know how that really works,
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: but you've got to start the process. And if that happens,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I think this would be a good platform for it to,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, it would be tough for anyone else to
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: win because they don't have as many people that already
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: kind of know her like that around the country, really,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: around the world. All right, let's go to our last

• 40:24
  Speaker 11: Hey, Nick.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: How are you guys?
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, good.
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: Just working.
• 40:29
  Speaker 20: I thought I'd get in before you.
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: Head on out.
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys were at the game, right?
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:36
  Speaker 20: Good to say what's up to you and see you
• 40:38
  Speaker 20: face-to-face there.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You didn't say anything about having, like, front row seat there,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: like a sweet front row in the corner. That was
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: pretty awesome.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 40:49
  Speaker 20: When I come out to the games, I try to
• 40:52
  Speaker 20: buy front row because You know, I'm kind of a
• 40:55
  Speaker 20: snob like that.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: What did that cost, about $ 100?
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, $ 100 total, $ 100 total. Per play, maybe per play.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway.
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: Shortly after I talked to you, Sean Hockley, the head
• 41:13
  Speaker 20: umpire or head referee, he came up to size my
• 41:18
  Speaker 20: son up and threw him a hat, one of the
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: official NFL ref hats. So that was pretty cool.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: That was a big highlight. Is this the furthest flight
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: you've ever done? It's longer than to London, right?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember much of the Tokyo trip. I
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: feel like the Tokyo flight on the way back was
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: really long. But I was a little over-served, so I
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: don't remember a lot of that. But Saki for the
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: loss on that one, not for the win. But I
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: feel like that trip was pretty long. And London, yeah,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: that was long. But I mean, this one.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is right there. I mean, this is, you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: it's probably by the same. I mean, because it's an
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: overnight flight. So it's been the longest one in at
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: least 12 years. So that counts.
• 42:16
  Speaker 20: Have you heard what the Ravens' plans are? Are they
• 42:18
  Speaker 20: already there since they probably are a little further away?
• 42:21
  Speaker 13: No.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Have you heard their travel plans?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: We had Kyle Yeomans on here, and I think they're
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: leaving the same time, Thursday about 6 o'clock, something like that,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: or tonight, 6 o'clock. So, yeah, it's about the same.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I think they're doing the same overnight type of flight.
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 42:37
  Speaker 20: Well, as far as the game goes, I need a
• 42:42
  Speaker 20: coming-out party for Mr. Jalen Thompson tonight. I need him
• 42:46
  Speaker 20: to make a few splash plays. And GP is going
• 42:50
  Speaker 20: to get his first touchdown and have an awesome celebration
• 42:54
  Speaker 20: there in Rio. And boys are going to win by
• 42:58
  Speaker 20: 10 or 11. I'm actually feeling really good. I'm not
• 43:00
  Speaker 20: nervous at all for whatever reason about this game. I
• 43:02
  Speaker 20: think the boys are going to handle them.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: All right. All right.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if that happens.
• 43:08
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Brian, I appreciate it. We're going to have to
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: roll out of here. We've got a press conference coming
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: up with Brian Schottenheimer here in a little bit. You
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: guys did great, though. This is kind of a shortened show.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: We still had 12 callers. You guys were awesome. I
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: think you guys are ready to see what's going to
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: happen here. I'm ready to go. Going to get a
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: couple things. packed up, and we're going to get this
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: show on the road. So, all right, it's off to
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Rio after this. You guys have been great. We'll talk
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: about it on Monday. Don't know how many hours of sleep,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: if any, I'll be on when we do that show.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: It'll be a little bit later on, maybe one hour later,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I think, is the schedule for us to be on
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the show on Monday. Bear with me then. Hopefully we're
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: talking about a win that will probably ease the pain
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: of not getting any sleep. All right, for Chris Beam,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I'm Nick Eatman. We will see you next time on
• 43:54
