So we get started, as we pull 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.360 back the curtain. As we get started on a Wednesday. Okay, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.240 Chris Beam, our producer, had it under troll make he 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.800 makes sure he knows when to turn up Mickey's mike 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.759 and when to brought it down.

It's a it's a brief ever so brief. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.800 That's right. He's making a cameo appearance this week. As 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.160 we will tell you about that as we go along 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.839 tomorrow's show. But we got to get through today's show first. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.680 Mickey inside the SWBC Mortgage studio there at Ford Center 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.480 at the Star in Frisco, where there are football players 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:46.440 on the premises today. Yes, football players doing football workout here. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.240 Actually practiced outdoors today so the weather gett't scare them away. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.720 And they got in about an hour hour and a 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:00.720 half practice. All right, first time in a while that 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.080 the players have been out there on the practice field, 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.200 have you done. Let's let's see. They would have been 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.840 before day Thanksgiving Day, Wednesday before Thanksgiving, yeah, which is 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.400 unlike the Cowboys next opponent, the Baltimore Ravens, who last 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.880 practice the Friday before their last game, which was a 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.200 week ago Sunday. So it's been and they are within 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.400 an hour kicking off against the Pittsburgh Steelers and not 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.000 checking Twitter. I'm checking Twitter as we go along to 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:37.280 make sure they're still fond to play. I'm good. I 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.000 have football on a Wednesday afternoon. This is the best 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.000 thing in the world to me. And it's an ugly 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.920 day outside too. This is great, man. This is ordered 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.840 just for me in my household. There there you go. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.480 That's exactly right. And plus it's a you can scout 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.520 the Cowboys next opponents, so you're doing prep work for 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.960 mix shots even after we get off the air this 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:06.919 afternoon that he'll use on right. Yeah, that's right. Okay, 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.880 you want to go ahead and tell us what the 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.400 schedule is for tomorrow because I cannot be here. I've 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.240 got a conflict and Everson does as well, So we're 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.040 gonna come in with a kind of an um. I 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.880 don't know if I should say it's an all star 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.120 crew or a pickup crew, but no, no, you better 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.680 not say that. No, no, it's a pickup crew right 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:35.080 now here, Well, it'll be myself, U Nate Newton stepping 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.440 in again on mix shots to see I think he 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.920 wants to be on mix shots. Tell you the truth. Uh, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.160 and that's what it is. Our special guests will be 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.160 the voice of the Cowboys. Brad Sham will be joining us. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.800 So and then we don't have a show on Friday, uh, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.040 So we will reconvene here as a group on Monday 0:03:54.640 --> 0:04:00.480 of it'll be of game week, right date. The day 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.040 is game day, Game day is two is two day. Yeah, 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.360 that's a great yeah, yeah, that's a great question. That's 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:13.600 a sharp now scheduled for Tuesday, right right now. It 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.640 never can count on things. You never know, but I 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.880 did see where Baltimore successfully got on their airplane and 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.560 was going to Pittsburgh. So and they didn't have anybody 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.440 test positive today so far, but I assume they all 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.440 tested before they got on the plane, so that was 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.159 a good news for bio tested positive yesterday, but yesterday 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.680 they did yes, And then Pittsburgh they're starting center. Maurice 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.520 Pouncy tested positive this morning, so he won't be playing 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:51.120 in the game. Yep, Marquise Pouncy is out, I mean, 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.880 and so I mean that's a last minute deal. I'm 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.400 looking over here at NFL Network. They've got their pregame going, 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.920 and uh, it looks like a beautiful day for foot 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.520 ball there. And ever since, you got the rest of 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.520 your day lined up, because you've got football starting at 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.080 two thirty right after Mick shots, and then you get 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.400 to watch the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center to night. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.440 Oh yeah, they starts at seven o'clock. I have the 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.560 eggnog ready with that one tried. And that is why 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.120 they're playing in the afternoon because NBC decided they cannot 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.400 pre empt the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, so they're 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.600 playing alongside that they didn't trust if the Ravens are 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.880 going to do right. You know, they didn't want to 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.359 hang their hats on a game that's been moved what 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.120 two or three times already, So they said, you know what, 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.240 we're gonna go with a shared thing. The tree is 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.120 gonna be there. We don't know about the football team, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.520 so you know what, this doesn't This doesn't happen, I 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.159 bet too often. But the Dallas Cowboys, after they finished 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.039 their practice already and finished their meetings, their afternoon prep 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.680 work for the game is watching the game this afternoon 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:05.400 here at the Ford Center. Nah, so they read right now, 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.520 that's right. I bet you never had a team meeting 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.960 that you watched the game when when you were playing. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.080 But they decided that since they've got so many days 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.800 to prepare for the game, um, that they would, uh, 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.560 you know, use this too. And and uh, my understanding 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.840 is they're gonna watch it from their position groups, so 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.800 not everybody together in one spot. Uh, they'll go into 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:36.400 the position group meeting everyone together. No, you don't need 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:41.039 to be together or sharing, you know you want to 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.320 you want to have some stuff. Man, This is like 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.680 going to a theater or something, you know, like like 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.960 being a camp right, this is what this is about. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.520 Maybe they'll have that kind of feel and you could 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.120 enjoy the session. Maybe they'll open the concession makes the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:00.600 Ford Center, you know. And of course it happens a 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.279 lot where you get an opportunity, like when you have 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.520 your bye week and the team that you're going to 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.600 be playing next is doesn't have the same bye week 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.240 that you have, and so like on a Sunday on 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.360 your bye week, you could sit there and watch the game, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.280 but you're not going to do it as a team 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.360 together because you're off on your own on a bye week. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.320 The other difference here is, as Mike McCarthy pointed out 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.160 in this press conference this morning, is they've already done 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.760 a couple of days of work on the Ravens, and 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.080 so this is what makes this unique is now they've 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.240 done some work there and the advanced scouting reports on 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.080 and also try to figure out who might be available 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.160 for the Ravens next week. And now as a team 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.000 they can sit down and watch that team play live. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:51.720 And so that's what makes this unique. Over and preparation 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.800 time as well. Yeah, because they would they would have 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.480 had their virtual meeting yesterday. Remember, they couldn't come in 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.240 on Monday and Tuesday, but they met, uh, and it 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.520 sounded like Mike talked about we did our installations already. Uh. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.960 And then they'll you know, continue today and then they'll 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:16.080 watch the game, and then tomorrow is the memorial service 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.120 for Marcus Paul. Now they're having at a church with 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.000 the family, close friends, and the Cowboys as a team 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.120 will watch that virtually from here at the Star, So 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.680 there'll be somewhat part of it, and they'll be able 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.880 to go through the memorial service, but from afar as 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.760 we've come to know in this twenty twenty year. Yeah, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.840 with the COVID restrictions, they can only have so many 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.960 people in the church for the show. In regards to 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.840 the Baltimore game, I mean Cowboys could take advantage of 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.360 this extra preparation time. Right, They're supposed to be playing 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.439 them by the schedule. It's supposed to be playing them tomorrow, correct, correct, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.320 by the schedule. Yeah, try now originally extra days to 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.880 prepare for them. Now having to having said that, watching 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.720 this game, I don't believe Lamar Jackson is gonna play. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.800 Is that correct? Today? That's my understanding today? Yes, Today, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.960 The problem for the Cowboys them happy for them without 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.360 Lamar in the game. You know, as you watch today's game, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.720 I don't know if that's going to help or hurt 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.439 them in regards to the prep because they're going to 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.600 be a completely different team with a different quarterback because 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.079 there is no other beasts like like the Unicorn and 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.640 Lamar Jackson. Well, and the other part of it is 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.120 that had the game been let's say they had just 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.560 postponed the Steelers game to another week or canceled it 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.720 and the Cowboys and Ravens played on Thursday, then they 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.360 would not be facing Lamar Jackson. And now it looks 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.720 like they will be facing Lamar Jackson when they play 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.800 on Tuesday. Although Billy if if, if he plays, though, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.679 he's not gonna have much practice time. I don't think 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.400 to prepare. The whole team's not having much practice because 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.280 they won't have ten days. I mean they're they're his 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.920 ten I mean his ten days aren't up until later 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.560 in the week, right or almost till the game day 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:23.959 for Lamar Jackson, h right, So so you know, but 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.480 they'll have they'll have, but they're playing. They're playing today, 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.400 so it's only like it's like playing a Saturday game. Right, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.000 because then they're gonna play on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.719 And then right, and then as I went off yesterday, Everson, Uh, 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.200 they get to pray their next game on Monday night, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.800 while the Cowboys have to play on a short week, 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:50.880 traveling from the East Coast on Sunday. And you lose Wednesday, Yeah, 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:55.040 you lose Wednesday. And uh and then they they don't 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.720 get the extra day to practice like Baltimore does. And 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:04.760 they're the ones that cause problem. So go figure they 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:09.320 have to be the most infected team so far, right, Uh, 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.679 it sure looks that way. I mean, and this has 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.040 been gone on for several weeks with them. And that's 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.800 that's including the staff, not just the players, but including 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:23.800 the staff, right absolutely, so yeah, right, and you figure 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.920 and you figure, you know that this is an advantage 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.480 for the Cowboys. Knock on wood. The Cowboys don't have 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.680 an issue arise. You know, the Cowboys have extra time 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.760 to repair. It's going to be this will be the 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:43.120 eleven days in between games. Uh, playing on Tuesday now 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.240 and the bulk of this time all spent preparing for 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.600 the Ravens, while the Ravens haven't been on the practice 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.920 field at all. Even before there's what would have been 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.199 their scheduled game on Thursday, and even since then, preparing 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.360 even for the Steelers, and who knows if their practice 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.600 facility is going to be open for them even this 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.280 weekend because of the number of cases they're still dealing with. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.200 And so if ever, the Cowboys had an opportunity to 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.199 go on the road and the other part of it, 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.480 and we can get into this as we go along here. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.640 If you look at the issues that the Ravens have 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:22.440 had on their offensive line, even not in regard to 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.920 COVID but injury issues. They lost Ronnie Stanley, their left tackle, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.080 just like the Cowboys lost theirs. They're piecing it together 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.200 having even going back to the offseason when Marshall Yenda 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.040 is out, you know, just like Travis Frederick for the Cowboys. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.520 It's not the same Ravens team that took the field 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.160 last year, even from a personnel's standpoint, even without all 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.400 the COVID stuff and so, and their weapons on offense 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.680 have been have proven not to be as capable, which 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.680 is why they signed Dez Bryant a month ago. Yeah, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.240 and that's what I picked from my Super Bowl team. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:04.000 So that seems to be tanked right now. They haven't 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.920 played well at all this year in regards of living 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.240 up to the expectations. So my my AFC Super Bowl 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.040 team is not looking good. Hell for that man, and 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:19.400 neither is my NFC Super Bowl team good. So we'll see. 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.080 So this will be this will be the first time, 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.680 this will be the first time, assuming Dez is active 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.600 for the game against Baltimore, that the Cowboys have to 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:36.240 face one of their number eighty eights. Right, Michael finished 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:40.560 his career. Now I don't know if I don't think 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.400 I saw him play, and I don't recall if he 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.800 had eighty eight or not, but he is eighty eight. So, uh, 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:51.600 you know, Drew Pearson finished his career with the Cowboys. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.560 Michael Irvin finished his career with the Cowboys. We thought 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.600 Dez finished his Uh, and now you'll have two eighty 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.960 eights on the field with CD LAMB were in eighty 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:08.160 eight going up against the third. Just a little trivia, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:13.200 there's a well, you know, when you're talking about dads. 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.880 I know you guys saw his workouts in the offseason. 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.600 I don't know if you did see them, but he 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.200 was all over Facebook. Uh, you know, he's supposed to 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.480 be social distancing. Dad's never paid not one iota to 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.360 social distancing while that was going on, and that was 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.440 in the very early stages. His whole thing was I'm 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.600 getting back to the NFL. He was out there running 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.120 routes and then everyone was saying, well, you know, you're 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.320 just running against air, so you know who you're gonna 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.800 go again. So then he found some defensive back who 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.400 was willing to risk his life as well with Covid 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.840 to go out there and guard him, and so you know, 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.760 he had it together. It has worked out for both 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:56.400 of them, thank god that you know, nothing serious happened 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.320 to them. But in regards to his drive, I had 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.280 to admire, you know, what he was going through because 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.480 coming off of an achilles injury, I think he was 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.160 at the time close to thirty. That is a tough deal. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.440 And he looked pretty good through those practices and workouts, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.560 and he also looked pretty good in the ball game. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.800 So I'm happy for Dez. And I mean, come on, 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.800 I don't know, I think all Cowboy fans really hated 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.960 to see how it ended here in Dallas. So just 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.440 good to see him hook up with somebody else. So 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.680 that would have been the twenty eighteen season about this 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.280 time of the year in twenty eighteen a little it 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.440 was late November probably when he signed with the Saints. 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.840 In the first practice he tears his achilles and he 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.200 just turned thirty two a little less than a month ago, 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.680 so he would have just turned thirty at that point. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.120 And so when you think about it, especially at that 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:57.240 age and playing that position, they realistically coming off in 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:01.000 achilles last year. It was going to be an uphill 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:05.320 climb for him even to get the opportunity to have 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.960 the burst that that I mean, he didn't he was 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:10.880 he didn't have the same burst that he had early 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.560 in his scureer nobody does at age thirty to begin with. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.600 And so now that he has had another year to rehab, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.560 it was going to take a lot of hard work 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.160 for him to get to this point. And it's great 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.280 to see that he is to this point where he's 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:30.400 playing again in the NFL and was already specimen. He 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.800 was already a physical specimen to begin with, so he 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.040 had kind of a head start in that regard. Uh. 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.400 And let's just remember, as much as you know, his 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:46.080 burst wasn't there. The desire to catch the ball to 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.080 fight for the ball as long as he, you know, 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.240 had his mental acuity together. You know, he was one 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.240 of the more dangerous receivers in the league when he 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.520 was at his peak, he and Romo there was something 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.600 to behold together. And I'm still my finger still hurts 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.000 from jumping up in the in the in the air 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.560 after I thought he made that catch against Green Bay 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:14.359 and I hit my hand on the ceiling fan. But 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:19.160 I'm still upstanding back, you know, And to this day, 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.720 the NFL is paying for it. He did make the catch. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:28.919 By the way, the rules, the anal people interpreting the 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.200 rules were the ones that screwed it up. Only with 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.720 the cowboys do they say, let's dive a little deeper 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.560 into this than see what's happening here?

Do you 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:14.440 see that yesterday? No? Did they? They canceled games because 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.800 they canceled Notre Dame's last game and Clemson's because uh, 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.640 Clemson's got to play this week. But but they canceled 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:26.960 since Notre Dame already has a tiebreaker and so forth. 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.760 Even if they lost their last game, I think it's 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.040 a would be against Wake Forest. They they went ahead 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:33.680 and told them, you know what, you don't need to 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.520 play that game. You're in the ACC Championship game. I mean, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:41.360 they are just they're just ticket They are punching their 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.280 ticket to get a team into the college football playoff 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.840 and avoid upsets, injuries, whatever they can do in order 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.560 to take advantage of this situation where they played more 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.760 games than the Big Ten has and so uh. In fact, 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.960 they they're hoping they punched their ticket to get two 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.200 teams in probably Notre Dame in Clemson. About that, yeah, 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.560 because at this point, Ohio State hasn't played enough games, right, 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.920 that's right, yeah, and it's a chance that they won't 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.560 get enough games in so here. Herb Street was a 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.520 little bit upset yesterday because he was saying basically that 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.520 teams were just they were just taking They're like, look, 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.679 we can play, but we're not going to play. We 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.720 have decided to just opt out basically, And those teams 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.760 are opting out because either they have a lot of 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.520 problems with personnel or they just said, you know what, 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:36.240 we don't want to take the SHELACKI And he was 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.880 very upset about that, you know, being part of the 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:44.879 the elite at Ohio State, he can't understand that coming 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:47.560 from some of those acc teams. The fact that he 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.760 just said they bailed. He just called it up what 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:54.560 he thought it was well dabbled talking about accused Florida's 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.920 state of doing just what you said that they canceled 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:00.200 that game and they blamed it on COVID but they 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:07.400 weren't buying it. And uh and actually Herb Street must 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.840 have said. I didn't hear it, but he said something 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:14.400 about Michigan last night on the College Football Playoff Show, 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:17.000 and I did see on Twitter that he did about 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.760 a two minute apology to Michigan fans and said he 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:23.440 was unfair with what he said. Come on, man, come on, Kurt, 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:28.120 stick with your guns, stick man. I thought he was going, 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.159 man up. I was really kind of proud of him 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:35.200 for saying and then now he backs off. Yeah, Okay, 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:39.600 the inactive list is out for the Baltimore Ravens for 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.960 this game, and they've got two players they list as inactive, 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:47.360 Jake Rogers and Brandon Williams, tackle Jake Rodgers and defensive 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.200 tackle Brandon Williams. I guess all the other ones were 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.800 already ruled out because of COVID. Well, they were on 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:56.760 they were already on the COVID reserve list. On COVID reserve, 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.600 that's right. And so they don't have enough players to 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.600 put the normal number of players inactive. They just have 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:10.560 two over the limit. I guess that I wish get here. Yeah, 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.840 they had forty eight players available to choose from instead 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.879 of fifty three ring up guys from the practice squad. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:25.200 that's the shame. I'm hoping for a dilapidated roster from 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.320 Baltimore so the Cowboysts can get a win. This is 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:36.439 a boy am I desperate? Well the Cowboys. By the way, Mickey, Yes, Micky, 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.280 I know how much you love fantasy football, but imagine 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:43.480 what this is doing to fantasy football leagues where normally 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:47.080 the last week's games would end on a Monday night, 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.280 and now this has stretched a Wednesday afternoon. I mean 0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:54.879 normally teams are making their waiver claims and so forth 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.919 on Tuesday night into Wednesday, and now the whole thing 0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.359 is getting pushed back this weeks. Yeah. Yeah, I know 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:06.080 that's something that concerns you greatly. I know where I 0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.359
