Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola, and here we are for Mick Shots.
Speaker 1: We're a little personnel challenge today. No Bill Jones, so
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to put up with Everson Walls in
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola here in the SWBC podcast studio at the
Speaker 1: Star for another edition of Mick Shots on a Tuesday.
Speaker 1: And it's a weird Tuesday because we haven't finished yet.
Speaker 1: Completed Week fifteen in the league is right, because we
Speaker 1: have sixteen, seventeen and eighteen to go. Two games tonight
Speaker 1: and the big one that will all be keeping our
Speaker 1: eyes on as Philadelphia and Washington, and we're gonna see
Speaker 1: if they tie, which would clinch the NFC. Guys, with
Speaker 1: this tie, you know what, if we gonna tie, that
Speaker 1: would be too much. I would have to bow down
Speaker 1: to you guys and say I am not worthy, because
Speaker 1: you and Bill were talking about that yesterday. So now
Speaker 1: with two games played last night Now, there's been two
Speaker 1: hundred and ten games played so far this season and
Speaker 1: there's been one time one tie. Well, you know, we've
Speaker 1: had a few unusual moments. What was the score? Fourteen
Speaker 1: eleven halftime score? Right, Yeah, that was the first in
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL. I think they had another
Speaker 1: scoring anomaly, right last week? Was it two weeks ago
Speaker 1: they had another one that they were saying that that's
Speaker 1: the first time. How about how about Sunday nine to nothing?
Speaker 1: How many nine to nothing games? Many? But I've seen them,
Speaker 1: so who knows, right, Because if Philly and Washington and tie,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys clinched the NFC is not what we're gonna
Speaker 1: base and segment on. And if and if they don't,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys just need to win. Just keep winning and
Speaker 1: not worry about what anybody else is doing because normally
Speaker 1: when you look at those things, nobody does you a favor, right,
Speaker 1: and it's so far Yeah, you talk about no favors.
Speaker 1: What you see now is, uh, the Cowboys are at
Speaker 1: this point number two in the NFC period, right, And
Speaker 1: all of those naysayers out there, they can't come up
Speaker 1: with anything else. So they talk about the offense, and
Speaker 1: they talk about McCarthy's lack of coaching, right, lack of
Speaker 1: good coaching. So now they go through his his entire
Speaker 1: season of mistakes that he's committed, including the end of
Speaker 1: the first half of the of the game this weekend.
Speaker 1: So yeah, which wasn't a good stake. It was a
Speaker 1: conscious decision on saying, you know what, let's just make
Speaker 1: sure we get a field goal gear and not worry
Speaker 1: about trying to get greedy and score a touchdown. So
Speaker 1: as I was going to say, the NFL h takes
Speaker 1: care of those who takes care of themselves, okay, right,
Speaker 1: and so don't worry about anybody else helping you out.
Speaker 1: Just worry about what you need to do. And the
Speaker 1: Cowboys day off today for the players and they'll jump
Speaker 1: back into practice tomorrow. It'll be a virtual uh week
Speaker 1: for the rest of the league, including the Cowboys, So meetings,
Speaker 1: um guys will be at home. They'll jump in the car,
Speaker 1: get here for practice and when it's over a head
Speaker 1: out and go back. And if there's meetings after practice,
Speaker 1: they'll be virtual one again. And just listening to the
Speaker 1: coordinators yesterday asking about the virtual presentation, they all say
Speaker 1: and Mike said it too that we learned more about
Speaker 1: doing that from last year, and I think you know
Speaker 1: what the key thing is when you're a teacher, you
Speaker 1: got to do whatever you can do to keep guys
Speaker 1: or students attention. Right. You can't just get up there
Speaker 1: and lecture for forty five minutes, right, you better throw
Speaker 1: something else in there. And John Fossil was talking about
Speaker 1: how you know they would give them a break so
Speaker 1: or maybe it was Kellen Moore, I can't remember which,
Speaker 1: but it was like, Okay, we'll do something for fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty minutes and then take a five minute break. Let
Speaker 1: guys get up, stretch or whatever. Because if you're actually watching,
Speaker 1: like how whatever virtual component they use, you can look
Speaker 1: in people's eyes and tell them, okay, they're not listening
Speaker 1: to me, right. I don't know if you've ever gone
Speaker 1: like and spoke at a class or you know whatever level,
Speaker 1: great school, junior, high, high school. You get up there
Speaker 1: and you're talking, and then you're gonna start and look
Speaker 1: around and it's like, oh, there's a lot of blank eye.
Speaker 1: I give that all the time. Yeah, I get that
Speaker 1: out time. There's no big deal, and you gotta do
Speaker 1: something to shake it up. You got to shake it
Speaker 1: up right or something. I don't know how teachers do
Speaker 1: it right, you know. And I was talking to one
Speaker 1: during last year and it was first grade, and how
Speaker 1: that's the worst she could see. She could see all
Speaker 1: the faces right, and then she could tell Okay, I
Speaker 1: got a problem. And it's like, well, what was your problem?
Speaker 1: She goes, well, kids were starting to fall asleep, like
Speaker 1: they put their head down and there's no there's no
Speaker 1: parod there to shake them up. But there's no no
Speaker 1: kid to cross him here, there's no kid next to
Speaker 1: you behind you there? Yeah, that can you know, keep
Speaker 1: your interests. It's just the face. It's just a computer,
Speaker 1: and it's nothing that excites you. It's not a cartoon,
Speaker 1: it's a person talking and you are so boyed. Right,
Speaker 1: So that's why the Grays suffered. Yeah, K doing that
Speaker 1: whole time. Absolutely. So Anyway, they were talking about how
Speaker 1: they have to, you know, not just get through the meetings,
Speaker 1: but come up with ways to keep the guy's attention.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's singing a song or
Speaker 1: doing a day What did he say? Yeah, where do
Speaker 1: you come? Yeah? No one asked that question. It was like, okay,
Speaker 1: that should have been the next everybody must have been Yeah,
Speaker 1: the media was zoned off, right, you gotta look at
Speaker 1: the eyes, blank faces, right, going to sleep. Yeah. So anyway, Um,
Speaker 1: from a roster standpoint, the Cowboys did create a roster spot,
Speaker 1: and they needed to do it because they were going
Speaker 1: to get two guys. It sounds like coming up off
Speaker 1: COVID reserve, Tristan Hill and oh also Diggy Zoo those
Speaker 1: two guys, and uh, it sound like from what Stephen
Speaker 1: Jones said that Donovan Wilson would be coming off of
Speaker 1: injured reserve. So to create one open spot, they released
Speaker 1: Azur Kamara and I think they did it with the
Speaker 1: intention of signing them back to the practice squad as
Speaker 1: long as he clears waivers. So we'll find that out
Speaker 1: a little bit after our show. So of course, of course, right,
Speaker 1: because they they ended up releasing, oh, Sirius Mitchell from
Speaker 1: the practice squad, I don't recall him. You don't know that.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people didn't reply. I think
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he was on the hard I remember
Speaker 1: they talked about Kamara being on hard now right, he
Speaker 1: was the star receiver also was a part of that,
Speaker 1: And I don't recall saying, guys, I don't either. I
Speaker 1: think he might have been a late signing to the practice.
Speaker 1: Great name though no serious name, right, So anyway, that'll
Speaker 1: that'll open up room for Donovan Wilson, who's missed the
Speaker 1: last four game ames but just adds to the secondary. Right.
Speaker 1: Once this team didn't have enough safeties. Now he almost
Speaker 1: got more than they's a playmaking safe, right and and
Speaker 1: you know in a good sign that he's coming back.
Speaker 1: And Hooker looks like he's kind of getting back into
Speaker 1: the swing of things. Uh so that's kind of a
Speaker 1: roster update. And then uh Tyrn Smith between McCarthy talking
Speaker 1: on Monday afternoon and then uh Kellen Moore, Uh, it
Speaker 1: sounds like they're hopeful. They don't know. They'll find out
Speaker 1: more tomorrow when they get into practice of he can
Speaker 1: get back, uh in time to play in this game
Speaker 1: after missing the last game after aggravating that foot injury
Speaker 1: they had. Jerry Jones, by the way, he had an
Speaker 1: interesting comment today on his one oh five point three
Speaker 1: the Fans segment talking about the offensive line when he
Speaker 1: was asked about Tyrn Smith, like, Okay, he's missing three
Speaker 1: four more games every year, and I think Jerry listened
Speaker 1: to my answer because he basically said, and I paraphrase,
Speaker 1: I'll take as much of Tyrn Smith as I can
Speaker 1: going forward, and our main goal then is to make
Speaker 1: sure we have a credible backup swing tackle. So it's
Speaker 1: like they keep inferring in talk radio that it's time
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to get rid of Tyring because he
Speaker 1: can't play the whole season, and it's like, Okay, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but who's gonna take his place? That's better? And and basically,
Speaker 1: I'll take thirteen games of Tyrn Smith before i'll take
Speaker 1: seventeen when anybody else, you give me. What they better
Speaker 1: do is make sure that they monitor his practicing. And
Speaker 1: I write doing that now. Make sure that he's gonna
Speaker 1: be there for not just I wouldn't necessarily say this stretch, right,
Speaker 1: I would not. I would not say that this stretch
Speaker 1: for Tylan Smith is a priority. I would love to
Speaker 1: have him there, and if we just win that one
Speaker 1: game and then get it out of the way and
Speaker 1: then rest him or whatever we could do, I'd love
Speaker 1: to do that. But I'd love to keep him in rhythm.
Speaker 1: I want to keep him out there and practice him
Speaker 1: in sports and even if we have to in certain games,
Speaker 1: play him in sports because I want him to keep
Speaker 1: that timing right. But at the same time, you don't
Speaker 1: want that injury to be aggravated. And I think they
Speaker 1: can do that in practice, and they think they've been.
Speaker 1: My understanding is, you know, if they I don't know
Speaker 1: how many snaps they would get on off and say
Speaker 1: they get what do you think thirty forty snaps during
Speaker 1: a practice, So let him have half and then work
Speaker 1: in the other backup anyway, and they need to work
Speaker 1: he does right, and just give him enough to keep
Speaker 1: him sharp and then and then the same thing in
Speaker 1: the game. You know, just kind of judge how the
Speaker 1: game's going. Do you need him out there? If you
Speaker 1: get to point you know, heaven forbid that you have
Speaker 1: like a three score lead or something. All right, get
Speaker 1: him out of there. Don't wear them out. But so
Speaker 1: that's the one injury I think they have to and
Speaker 1: they're very fortunate because that's the really the only one.
Speaker 1: What about Washington, how are they doing that quarterback because
Speaker 1: you had the first two or out? My understanding, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the last thing I read was since it's a it's
Speaker 1: a short trip to phil to Philadelphia, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a half hour plane ride. They can wait till the
Speaker 1: last minute to see. Okay, did those guys test out, like,
Speaker 1: did they test negative enough times that either one can play?
Speaker 1: But I think the last time I read it was
Speaker 1: being reported that Garrett Gilbert was like the likely starter
Speaker 1: just because he's got that one start in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Yere yes, that's it, the one star. Say we did
Speaker 1: him a favorite, right exactly everything he comes around. But
Speaker 1: you know, so, yeah, they're the quarterback, so they will
Speaker 1: have Heineck, then Heinik will will probably be the quarterback
Speaker 1: that there's a good chance. Yeah, no, it's it's COVID.
Speaker 1: It's COVID, So I thought I thought it was I
Speaker 1: thought it was Galimore related. Yeah, the way he ran
Speaker 1: over the center and the quarterback, so the quarterback was
Speaker 1: able to get up and if he would, if they had,
Speaker 1: if Heineck had to play tonight, he could have played
Speaker 1: other than Covid. I think that's that's right, because I
Speaker 1: thought he was injured in that game. He never came back.
Speaker 1: And you know what, we're gonna turn Galimore into a verb.
Speaker 1: He got gall Galimore, I tweeted, man, that was just
Speaker 1: an amazing play. You don't see that happen very often.
Speaker 1: But I thought that Heineck was going to be out
Speaker 1: um because of him because of that. Yeah, it sounded
Speaker 1: like he would have a chance if he if he
Speaker 1: cleared COVID protocol. But um, gosh. We talked about last
Speaker 1: week that by the end of the week they had
Speaker 1: a hundred players uh testing positive for COVID going on
Speaker 1: COVID reserve. They had another thirty seven on Monday. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that leads to my next question. So the COVID protocol, Uh,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to ease up on it in regards to
Speaker 1: vaccinated and boosted players. Correct, yes, uh, if if um,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're vaccinated, if you had your booster
Speaker 1: shop and you're asymptomatic, I think, um, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: you can come back within a day or two. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: as long as you can test negative. I think you
Speaker 1: don't have to wait ten days exactly. So you're punishing
Speaker 1: the vaccinated along with the unvaccinated, right, that was that
Speaker 1: was the cause, And so I think I read something
Speaker 1: to the fact that three key players for the Rams
Speaker 1: for tonight's game, UH can are off COVID because they
Speaker 1: were able, they were vaccinated, and um, they can get
Speaker 1: them bring one right, I forgot the other two guys
Speaker 1: he already I think it was Ramsey and there was
Speaker 1: one one other one other guy. So anyway, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: starting to take place. So that's that's the game. One
Speaker 1: of the games at seven. So it's the Rams in Seattle, right,
Speaker 1: and then Philadelphia Washington. Uh in Philadelphia, so uh that
Speaker 1: that'll be more games to watch uh this week. And um,

Speaker 1: so that's right. Be ready to be entertained. So we're
Speaker 1: going to be entertained at some point here. On Wednesday
Speaker 1: when they released the official Pro Bowl rosters, but they
Speaker 1: decided that since there were games on Monday night, that
Speaker 1: they started releasing names, especially on billboards in Vegas, because
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl is going to be in Lady, so
Speaker 1: they're they're getting guys out. So no shocks here that
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to be in the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: for the fifteenth time. Aaron Doddell for his eighth Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup first time, the Rams for eight already eight for eight,
Speaker 1: I believe Yeah, Jonathan Taylor running back from the Colts
Speaker 1: his first time might be MVP, and Travis Kelsey for
Speaker 1: the seventh time, although he's got a clear COVID in
Speaker 1: time because he now is out with COVID. I thought
Speaker 1: this was interesting. They also released the top five fan
Speaker 1: vote getters and doesn't officially because that's one third of
Speaker 1: the voting process for Pro Bowl one third coaches, one
Speaker 1: third players. But the top five vote getters was Taylor,
Speaker 1: Nick nick Bosa was second. Taylor had two thousand, six hundred,
Speaker 1: six hundred, two hundred and sixty five thousand, three hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy votes. Uh. Nick Bosa was next, then Kelsey,
Speaker 1: then Kyle Jerzyk, the fullback the forty Niners. Is that right?
Speaker 1: And fifth was Treyvon Diggs. Wow, with two hundred forty
Speaker 1: two hundred, nine hundred thousand votes. Two hundred forty two thousand,
Speaker 1: nine hundred I get it right. Uh, he was twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand. Slay, these are the fans. Fans voting to
Speaker 1: no QBS in there. Isn't that amazing that I thought
Speaker 1: you were talking something. Yeah, no, Q, that's what had said.
Speaker 1: The top five fan vote getters that is extreme, be unusual,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't guarantee anybody a spot either. By the way,
Speaker 1: other than um, well, we knew Taylor and Kelsey had
Speaker 1: made it. But yeah, Trayvon dig so it's pretty good
Speaker 1: deal for you. Yeah, I gotta say I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of the fans voting. Yeah, because it
Speaker 1: just turns into a population. Well and by the way,
Speaker 1: speaking of that, whereas my list the most fan votes
Speaker 1: coming from because they think when you do it, you
Speaker 1: have to like, uh, admit which team you're you're voting
Speaker 1: from or whatever. So the top five fan voting teams
Speaker 1: were the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the forty nine Ers, New England,
Speaker 1: and Green Bay Shockings. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, good teams. Good yeah, good,
Speaker 1: good winning team. But yeah, to me, with the fans,
Speaker 1: it just just turns into a just a popularity contest.
Speaker 1: I'm not and you can vote. I think there's a limit,
Speaker 1: but you can vote a several times. That's too much
Speaker 1: for me. But even and I have to be fair,
Speaker 1: even when you go with the players, you know, then
Speaker 1: you know, like a guy me I'm from a Tobcu
Speaker 1: and no matter how well I play, you know, there
Speaker 1: are times when you have certain players, they're very discriminated
Speaker 1: and I would say discriminatory towards uh small school players,
Speaker 1: but they will definitely favor Power fives players right over
Speaker 1: small school players. No matter how well you play. They're
Speaker 1: just thinking, Okay, well I come from the big ten,
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go I'm voting for the big ten
Speaker 1: dbs and they're gonna get more consideration from me. And
Speaker 1: so I think that's kind of the way of trying
Speaker 1: to even of that between players and fans. So when
Speaker 1: you played, you guys, were the players were still voting
Speaker 1: players just the players so to me, and you tell
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. But the players know the players
Speaker 1: they played against, Yes, but they don't know the rest
Speaker 1: of the league because you don't sit there and only
Speaker 1: watching on TV. Only if you're aware, only if you're aware,
Speaker 1: Because even though you study for other players and other teams,
Speaker 1: right you you've seen those teams played a particular player
Speaker 1: that you may that you may be scouting. I might
Speaker 1: now played against Jerry Rice a particular year, right, but
Speaker 1: I know the Jerry Rice. I mean I know that's Jerry's.
Speaker 1: Jerry's probably needs to get more votes than I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say Michael Irving at that time, but that you know,
Speaker 1: when Jerry first came in, you know Drew was gone,
Speaker 1: Tony Hill was on his way out. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: pick one of my receivers that was backing up Drew
Speaker 1: Pierson and say that, Okay, I'm going to consider him
Speaker 1: as much as Jerry Rice because I hadn't played against
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, so you know, you know as a player
Speaker 1: who the good players are. And but we also know
Speaker 1: that there's favoritism amongst players as well. And I know
Speaker 1: that for a fact because I can't go to another
Speaker 1: MANI HBCU brothers and go hey man, let's get together
Speaker 1: and we're gonna vote for a jet blocks right, So
Speaker 1: we couldn't do that. So I do get why they
Speaker 1: did it, And I think they also included the executives
Speaker 1: in it, coach coach coaches, just coaches, so they get
Speaker 1: a third and I think that's good because I think
Speaker 1: back then when you guys did it, it was the
Speaker 1: coaches players and it was one block of voting, right, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: And as even as we got in and started talking
Speaker 1: about the different votes. You know, we kind of had
Speaker 1: to have a meeting about it. I remember that having
Speaker 1: team meetings like that, right. I didn't like that, like
Speaker 1: I don't need you to tell me who to vote
Speaker 1: for it, right, and so that kind of I wasn't
Speaker 1: happy about that at all. But it's a fraternity, and
Speaker 1: with the fraternity, you've got the bigger fraternities and the
Speaker 1: smaller fraternities. And that's just the way it goes. You're
Speaker 1: not going to get away from some type of favorites.
Speaker 1: It's like ap voting and called for college rankings, right,
Speaker 1: thank you, And then when we finished, we get to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: who got left out and who shouldn't have made it? Right?
Speaker 1: Right after you've all come together, right, you know. So
Speaker 1: now it's always going to be that. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like the elections. Um. I think there was a few
Speaker 1: more that were released. So Cleveland was playing last night,
Speaker 1: so they released some of their guys, Miles Garrett, Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: Denzel Wore, Joel Bitonio, and Wyatt Teller and then from
Speaker 1: Minnesota Delvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, Harrison Smith and Jem Grant Senior. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he only I think he only caught like three passes
Speaker 1: last night, but his big play was he sucked three
Speaker 1: guys with him right to the end zone and the
Speaker 1: other receivers wide over. I'd run with him too. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's I can't to me, you know, I've gone
Speaker 1: against players that are just dominating one player. People ask
Speaker 1: me that all the time, who's your favorite? Who's your
Speaker 1: toughest receivers? Usually is gonna be somebody who played against twice, right,
Speaker 1: And to me it was boy Glen. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: he was. He was Steve Smith Senior before Steve Smith Senior.
Speaker 1: But you played Joe thisman twice, Okay, you did for him.
Speaker 1: I just say I voted for Roy because I played
Speaker 1: him twice, because he kicked a difference. So how about
Speaker 1: the poor Bears last night? Did you watch that? I did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was sad. I had to turn it off. I
Speaker 1: thought they were going to have to carry Naggy off
Speaker 1: the field in the straight jacket. Well he had some beef, Yes,
Speaker 1: he did have some beef. I mean, to me, the
Speaker 1: biggest issue with the NFL right now is referees. They
Speaker 1: are extremely inconsistent, and these are when these are the
Speaker 1: rules that you have laid out, you said out the
Speaker 1: memo about this particular rule, and you can't get it right.
Speaker 1: You can't stay consistent. And when he got his personal
Speaker 1: file for arguing, I always remember this line I used
Speaker 1: to I would tell an official, I said, don't make
Speaker 1: up for your mistake by throwing a flag on your right.
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. He was definitely right. And
Speaker 1: then you know what the head official told the pool
Speaker 1: reporter about his fifteen yard penalty. He used inappropriate language. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course he did. You hadn't heard it before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the NFL. You hadn't heard it before, you grown man.
Speaker 1: He was offended. So so this is a good one
Speaker 1: because you know, back in the day, you know, when
Speaker 1: we somebody would cuss, right, you'd put like four little
Speaker 1: dot dot dot dot or whatever. And then growing up,
Speaker 1: you were sitting there going, Okay, which of my cuss
Speaker 1: words do I know that would fit in right? Right?
Speaker 1: So they gave you the first letter, yeah, and the
Speaker 1: last one yeah. Then you gotta fill it. I could
Speaker 1: remember twelve years old, Okay, which word have I heard
Speaker 1: that fits into there? Well? I was thinking last night, okay,
Speaker 1: what could you say that was so inappropriate that he
Speaker 1: threw a flag on you. Right, Well, you think I
Speaker 1: can't say there was a couple that I came up, Well,
Speaker 1: that would have to be members of your family that
Speaker 1: were addressed. Yes, so it had to be something about
Speaker 1: his mother, right. You know? Well there was the other game,
Speaker 1: which game was it that? Somebody? Was it Harball or
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but there was like four f bombs
Speaker 1: in a row, right and and and no flag. Last
Speaker 1: night he gets bombs. His lineage he had that was
Speaker 1: a family member was was insulted and they probably felt
Speaker 1: it through him. Yeah, whatever he said, boy, he better
Speaker 1: not say that again. And then I just felt sorry
Speaker 1: for Naggy because it didn't matter how good their defense
Speaker 1: was playing. Um, the quarterbacks not ready to play. Well,
Speaker 1: let's let's think about this. And it's not his fault,
Speaker 1: right he was coach of the year yeah, two years ago,
Speaker 1: three years I believe. So, yeah, got him in the
Speaker 1: playoffs quickly, does it chance? Yeah? And you know, at
Speaker 1: some point in that game I would have just said,
Speaker 1: all right, we just need to score a touchdown. I
Speaker 1: put Nandy Dalton in. I'm not going to hurt the
Speaker 1: kids feelings, but my God, we've been in the red
Speaker 1: zone five times and we hadn't scored yet. And let's
Speaker 1: let's I mean, let's face it, some of the a
Speaker 1: couple of guys a wild over. Yeah, and he just
Speaker 1: he was just too excited, right, he was too excited.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that he can't make that play. He was
Speaker 1: too excited at that time to make a couple of
Speaker 1: and they were both in corners of the end. Zoe
Speaker 1: so so uh. Robert Quinn after the game about the officiating,
Speaker 1: he said, I think they need to check the refs
Speaker 1: they hire and not our coaches. I agree. I agree,
Speaker 1: there's something going on with the understanding the perception of
Speaker 1: a rule varies too much from referee right, referee right,
Speaker 1: and these are these are points of nuance to where
Speaker 1: you know, it makes they they put too much into
Speaker 1: that little part of whatever happened. Sometimes, just gotta stick
Speaker 1: to the basics, you know, the foundation of whatever that
Speaker 1: that rule was built on. Stick to that. Don't try
Speaker 1: to get cute, you know what I mean, just because
Speaker 1: something might be a little bit out of out of
Speaker 1: out of whack in regards to not being in that
Speaker 1: that same with him up that same lane, right, you
Speaker 1: know he regards to making the call. Well, how about Well,
Speaker 1: the one, the killer one that Naggie went crazy on
Speaker 1: was when the quarterback was running out of the pocket
Speaker 1: and their safety dove to try to make the tackle
Speaker 1: on him and there was a blocker coming, and they
Speaker 1: acted like he cut the block right, He wasn't trying
Speaker 1: to cut the blocker. That's not what the rule was
Speaker 1: there for. He was trying to and he made the tackle.
Speaker 1: By the way, what about that. I thought they were
Speaker 1: going to call him going low on a quarterback, right okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm going no, no, he's not a quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: a runner now right, Well what about the the the
Speaker 1: dB number twenty said he had a tough night last night.
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Oh my goodness. They called him on
Speaker 1: the head to head when he clearly made a play
Speaker 1: on the ball as he comparies on the receiver. Oh
Speaker 1: oh no, that's the one he went crazy on because
Speaker 1: he didn't really he went for the ball and he
Speaker 1: collided with him and they were like it was a
Speaker 1: dangerous hit. No, no, it wasn't, it was not. That's
Speaker 1: the one he got mad and he made a play
Speaker 1: on the It's like every one of those were against them.
Speaker 1: I thought the people in Chicago were gonna come out
Speaker 1: of the stay right. Who's gonna have a right Chicago
Speaker 1: could do that. I don't say it. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Growing up in Grant Park. One night, it was a weekend,
Speaker 1: Sly in the family Stone was supposed to play a
Speaker 1: free concert. They did not show up, and they had
Speaker 1: thousands of people out there, right, And that was so
Speaker 1: vest for you. It did that. He did that in
Speaker 1: Dallas too, did he? Yes, come on, that was number
Speaker 1: he was. He was not unique in that, and that
Speaker 1: was in the seventies, right, Yeah, he was the seventies.
Speaker 1: Come on, and it might have been like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if it was like sixties, then we know what was
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, But I mean the place just went
Speaker 1: crazy and it's like, oh my god. So the backup
Speaker 1: band just had to come back out again. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if they hopefully they had a backup right.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I need to correct myself. I
Speaker 1: said thirty seven players on Monday. Forty seven players tested
Speaker 1: pot on Monday. So when we come back here on

Speaker 1: I could stretch it out. Cash still, Yeah, just give
Speaker 1: them cash and they can go give what they have.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, so uh, as we go on here,
Speaker 1: I looked up the games. The rest of these teams
Speaker 1: in contention have to play Green Bay. They still have Cleveland,
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Detroit. So who knows where Cleveland's going to
Speaker 1: be with their COVID problems that they had going into
Speaker 1: the game last night. And that's the next game that
Speaker 1: the Packers have to play. Uh, Tampa Bay. How about
Speaker 1: this Carolina? The Jets, Carolina, hey man, they need it,
Speaker 1: they deserve it, they deserve it. Yeah, I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: they've been having a problem, they have been having problems.
Speaker 1: And then Arizona they don't. They have probably the hardest
Speaker 1: path the Colts Cowboys in Seattle, and Seattle is still
Speaker 1: playing right there, even though they're five and eight. You know,
Speaker 1: if they win tonight, they're six and eight, and they're
Speaker 1: probably one game one game or so, extremely crowded. And
Speaker 1: then Mine the Rams, yeah, oh my Minnesota, Baltimore and
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, So that last game against the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers might decide, uh, depending on what happens tonight,
Speaker 1: right right, because if the forty nine ers win tonight,
Speaker 1: they're nine and six. Where's the game being played today
Speaker 1: between the Cardinals and the Rams, because that that to me,
Speaker 1: that at the Rams, Seattles at the Rams. Oh you
Speaker 1: mean that game? Oh I get tonight right tonight, it's tonight. No,
Speaker 1: it's the forty nine ers. No Seattle at the Rams
Speaker 1: tonight tonight. Got no Cardinals side sorry Chinles got beat
Speaker 1: by Detroit. Yeah that's that. Yeah, that's all that all
Speaker 1: you got to say. So that's that's what those teams.
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys have Washington Arizona in Philly, which you know,
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys, well the Bucks, actually the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: because they're playing Arizona, have the toughest scheduled there there
Speaker 1: three final opponents are at five hundred. Cowboys don't play
Speaker 1: in Arizona. No, they play Arizona. Yeah, they play Arizona. So, um,
Speaker 1: we we could we surely controlled our own debt at all.
Speaker 1: But for the number two seed. I think for the
Speaker 1: number two seed, right, yeah, I mean I guess the
Speaker 1: Bucks could as long as they don't tie the Bucks.
Speaker 1: Right well, if well, if Arizona loses again, you do
Speaker 1: tie the Bucks, yeah you will, so that you flip,
Speaker 1: so you need somebody to but be obviously Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: the Rams will come up. Yeah, Yeah, the Rams are
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. One of the two are going
Speaker 1: to end up being there. Um. Oh, this note I
Speaker 1: wanted to throw out. I think we touched I can't
Speaker 1: remember if we touched down it yesterday or not. So
Speaker 1: Philadelphia tonight it's it was thirty nine degrees today, so
Speaker 1: probably by time the sun goes down it'll be in
Speaker 1: the low thirties. And Washington has taken a page from
Speaker 1: the cowboys. They're bringing their benches to Philadelphia because they
Speaker 1: don't want to be cold. Okay, so what's going on
Speaker 1: with the benches? Man, I don't understand the story with
Speaker 1: the benches. Why why is everybody bringing their own benches?
Speaker 1: Do they not trust the business? Yes, they don't. What
Speaker 1: is happening was why all of a sudden, which is
Speaker 1: not funny because Washington's the one that started it. Yes,
Speaker 1: so Philadelphia, you know, it's like, okay, we're bringing our
Speaker 1: own benches. One are we going back to the same
Speaker 1: old It's like Crick's back in the seventies. It's like
Speaker 1: an advertisement because the bench they got there's three benches
Speaker 1: on each side of the middle part where all the
Speaker 1: communication stuff is, and each one of them has Washington
Speaker 1: almost the length of the bench, and then it says
Speaker 1: underneath in smaller type football team. And then it's established
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two, which which Chris Beam out of them
Speaker 1: right disputes big because they were with factual evidence, Boston Bravest,
Speaker 1: Boston Braves, Yeah, in thirty two. So anyway, yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their own branches at Philadelphia. And I
Speaker 1: just have a side note, and the quietest successful season
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Who do you think is having the
Speaker 1: quietest most successful season in the NFL, especially considering how
Speaker 1: they started off. I know it's got nothing to do
Speaker 1: with Cowboys at all. Just that's a hint for you.
Speaker 1: The quietest season, quiet successful season, one player and the
Speaker 1: team itself, because as he goes, the team seems to Indianapolis. Nope,
Speaker 1: the freaking Dolphins. So yes, yes, the Dolphins has what
Speaker 1: seventh straight they're seven and seven? Yeah, they won seventh
Speaker 1: straight and two of is bawling out during those seven games.
Speaker 1: They had counted him out at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: They couldn't win with him, ab with dollar him. As
Speaker 1: soon as he comes back, I think I don't know
Speaker 1: what the injury was. I can't remember the game, but
Speaker 1: they came back under his leadership and from then on
Speaker 1: day have not looked back. So in the AFC, which
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about, the teams that aren't leading the division,
Speaker 1: Buffalo's eight and six, a game behind New England. Indianapolis
Speaker 1: is eight and six, They're a game behind Tennessee. Cincinnati
Speaker 1: and Baltimore are both eight and six, Kansas City's ten
Speaker 1: and four, the Chargers are eight and six, and then
Speaker 1: there's one, two, three, four, four teams at seven and seven,
Speaker 1: and Miami's one of them. Yeah, I mean, that's a
Speaker 1: great job. I don't even know who they had coaches
Speaker 1: down there. Obviously you don't either. Oh it's I was
Speaker 1: the former former Miami No, former New England defensive coach.
Speaker 1: Oh see, if Bill was here here to look at.
Speaker 1: I know. All you have to do is but that
Speaker 1: lets you know, That lets you know if you just
Speaker 1: leave people alone sometimes, you know, just let them be.
Speaker 1: You haven't had a whole bunch of commentary about the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to sports talk radio all season long,
Speaker 1: especially during the second half of this season. They have
Speaker 1: not mentioned the Dolphins, not once, and they have been
Speaker 1: they won seven straight. I'm sorry that that deserves some
Speaker 1: type of recognition. Was I was gonna look it up
Speaker 1: and see if I could find it real fast. I can't.
Speaker 1: I guess I could type it, but I'm just being lazy.
Speaker 1: Dang it. I'm surpri as Chris didn't have it. He's
Speaker 1: probably your bills over there yelling. He's unbraked bills, probably
Speaker 1: his house yelling we can end the show. Not really
Speaker 1: great radio here right now, that's okay, they don't listen.
Speaker 1: I got I got the whole thing on the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: and they haven't. You just say Dolphins head coach. They haven't.
Speaker 1: I did, and it didn't come up. Well, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Dolphin's head coach. Twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Let's just doing Flores. Yeah, that's it. Come on, dude, Flores,
Speaker 1: I had to do this for you. You were faster
Speaker 1: than there was my stories. I guess I should have that.
Speaker 1: That's right before Brian Flores, but before you over the year.
Speaker 1: You're going with it. I'm I'm oh. And he's a
Speaker 1: brother too, yeah, Boston College, Yes, Brian Flores. No, but
Speaker 1: that's why nobody giving him love. He's a brother I'm
Speaker 1: with you, man, I got you, brother, You know what,
Speaker 1: he was getting fired? The whole was right right now,
Speaker 1: he's see one seventh straight right, Wow, what if they
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? So last last point here we're gonna
Speaker 1: make before we go on, is uh you know that
Speaker 1: bet that Dak Prescott and Marcus Lawrence got going turnovers
Speaker 1: versus touchdown turn overs versus touchdowns right and yesterday, Uh,
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn was passed about it, and he goes, I
Speaker 1: love it. He goes. Anything that creates competition on your
Speaker 1: own team and he goes. And that just shows you
Speaker 1: what kind of character we have on this team. They
Speaker 1: would come up with that right I was born. You
Speaker 1: would have came up. I would absolutely. Yeah, it's been
Speaker 1: good stuff. Um so um. I was going to tell
Speaker 1: you a story about coming around too soon, and I
Speaker 1: can't remember the whole part of it, but we all
Speaker 1: came around too soon, Yes we did. Right. These are
Speaker 1: the kind of guys that, especially when you're talking about
Speaker 1: you know, union business and players not being afraid of
Speaker 1: management and understanding the importance of you know, being being
Speaker 1: being part of a team. Right and and we didn't
Speaker 1: have that back when I was a union with up.
Speaker 1: I was a horrible union rep. That was horrible. Every
Speaker 1: everyone on the team crossed over. I was out of
Speaker 1: the picket line by myself. So we'll we'll end with this.
Speaker 1: So I remember the story. So Greg Ellis had signed
Speaker 1: like a I don't know, he got bad advice. He
Speaker 1: signed like a seven year deal. I remember that, right.
Speaker 1: And then like a year or two later was when
Speaker 1: all the signing bonus escalated escalated, right, and he was
Speaker 1: unhappy with his kind and he was. And so we
Speaker 1: were at our little old timers writers media little lunch
Speaker 1: and Pat Summer all was asking us what's wrong with Greg?
Speaker 1: Why you know what you know? And I said, well,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, he signed that contract too soon.
Speaker 1: I said, he just kind of came around too soon
Speaker 1: before the contracts really exploded. And some are all in
Speaker 1: his inman voice goes, we all camarack too soon, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the old man, Like I'm with you, old man, like
Speaker 1: all these announcers dollar making all this money. I'm retired
Speaker 1: and I didn't make even close to as good as
Speaker 1: he rights. Yeah. Absolutely, And with that that's Mick shots
Speaker 1: here on Tuesday for Everson Mickey, and we'll be back
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we'll have with us. Thank god, Go Cowboys.
