And this 9 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: is a good day because the Cowboys have decided to 10 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: go ahead in practice today for the New England Patriots. 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: They are outside on the practice as we speak, because 12 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Mike wanted to smell the grounds like football. It's exactly right. 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: But they have turf in New England. Yes, I believe 14 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: they do. Okay, he just wanted to smell. I was 15 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: trying to remember it because that driving rainstorm in twenty nineteen. Yeah, 16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: the field didn't get torn up. They were fine. Yeah, yeah. 17 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: And of course yesterday they were indoors because we had 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: the looming presence of thunderstorms in the area. But outside 19 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: today even though there was still a looming presence of 20 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: cloud cover. Well, they were prepared at one point to 21 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: take it inside, and then nothing happened, so they stayed 22 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: out there because when it was our turn to come in, 23 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: they said, oh, we're gonna stay here because the guys 24 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: are going in. And then I think the radar cleared. 25 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: So there you are outside for the whole session. And 26 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be decent weather, I think on Sunday, 27 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: although it's been a couple of days since I checked 28 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: on that. And in contrast to two years ago and 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went up there in a monsoon and lost 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: to the Patriots thirteen to nine. I don't think I've 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: seen the game played in worse weather like they had 32 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: to continue playing now. I played in New Jersey, man, 33 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: so I don't know about that. Spags, Well, I didn't 34 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: see it. I mean, and Cleveland, by the way, it 35 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: was a driving, a driving rain storm. You'd rather snow 36 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: than the rain coming down like that, that's true. And 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: it was coming down sideways because the wind was blowing. 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety when we played Buffalo, I was with the Giants. 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: We played Buffalo in New Jersey and it was below 40 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: freezing and it rained. Yeah, the entire game below for 41 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: rain the entire game. It wouldn't stop. So once you fall, 42 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: because puzzles all those play. Once you fall in your wet, 43 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: it's over, right, it's over. It's like being in the snow, 44 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, once you fall in the snow, your hands 45 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: are cold, you can't do anything a sox are wet. 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: It's done, it's done. And so yeah, that was pretty miserable. 47 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: I met my free safety, Myron Guiding. He's coming up 48 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: to me and he's he's talking, you know, as his 49 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: jaw is quivering, and I'm like, what did yous to say? 50 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: And he couldn't even repeat himself. He was so cold. 51 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: I think the only worst weather game I've seen. And 52 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember this. It would 53 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: have been the Ice Bowl, No, it was, it was close. 54 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: It was the Fog Bowl. Oh yeah, yo, Chicago and Philadelphia. Yeah. 55 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: And I was in the press box and could not 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: see past maybe a third of the field going across right. 57 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: And at one point the fog got so thick. We 58 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: were watching the TV monitor because the TV cameras could 59 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: lighten up, could they can get more light on the field, right, 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: And so you can see better because we couldn't see. 61 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't see the other side, but not see the 62 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: other sideline. Why were you at the Fog Bowl, which, 63 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: by the way, was played New Year's Eve nineteen eighty eight. 64 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: I was working at the newspaper and we covered things 65 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: like that newspaper, the Dallas Times. Harold, you went to 66 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: an Eagles Bears game? Yea in nineteen eighty eight. Yes, 67 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: we covered the playoffs because the Cowboys. Yeah, they covered 68 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs and the Cowboys were not in it. Yeah, 69 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: so they still had to cover it, whether we were 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: ended or that. Plus they had I had a free 71 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: place to stay, right, my parents were still living there. 72 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: I think he volunteered that. You got the hes there 73 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: for the holidays. Why I had been on Times, Harold 74 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: didn't send you. I had been on the Bears beat 75 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: since eighty five. Basically, I spent I spent half the 76 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: season in eighty five up there covering the day. So 77 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: were you the NFL reporter or were you the Cowboys beat? Right? 78 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: I was the backup guy. I was. I was the 79 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: guy that did everything. Okay, okay, so you were sometimes 80 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: the NFL beat porter, sometimes the Cowboys beating. Absolutely No, 81 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't the beat reporter. I was the backup guy 82 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: when the beat reporter took a day off. Okay, so 83 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: the time cowboy reporter, but backup soup for the Times Harold, 84 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: Then who were the cowboy? Who is the Cowboys beat reporter? 85 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: And did you have an NFL reporter that traveled to 86 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: every city? We had? So Jim Dent was the Cowboys 87 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: beat reporter. And then the NFL. I think maybe it 88 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: was Jack Shephard was doing he was doing college those 89 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: he was also doing backup, he was doing NFL. Let 90 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: me tell you, those were glory days of reporting. Absolutely 91 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: And why is that talk to me? Because we covered everything, 92 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, and what really happened in Dallas for Worth Media, 93 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: What would you say it was when Dave Smith came 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: here the Morning News and what the Boston Globe, and 95 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: this relates to the Patriots. It always was the pinnacle 96 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: as far as newspapers sports sections go. And so Dave 97 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: Smith came to Dallas in the eighties, I don't remember 98 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: exactly when and turn and turned the Dallas Morning News 99 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: sports page into sports Day, okay, and in the coverage 100 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: just went through the roof. Well, there was great competition 101 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: between the Times Harold and the Morning News. So the 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: Times Harold matched that with the Morning News. We tried. Yeah, 103 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: at the time we started, well yeah, we started running 104 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: out of fun. You started, and we're talking about we're 105 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: talking about writers that that have well known you know, 106 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: some in the Hall of Fame, you know that were 107 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: well he was, he came a little later those, but 108 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: but that it was born though during that time. And 109 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: of course Skip Bayliss was. It was the Times Harold first, 110 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: then Morning News or Ice first, Bike shared. I mean, 111 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: now he was Morning News, then Time, okay, and Blackie 112 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: was the Times Harold and then he went to the 113 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: Brandy Galloway and you know, and but the coverage from 114 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: the high schools to the colleges, to the professional ranks 115 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: and every sport was second to none. Well it just 116 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: like I told the story yesterday about me, they have 117 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: sending me to the Giants to do stories before the 118 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys played the Giants in eighty six. It trickled over 119 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: to television too. I mean, I was telling the story 120 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: about when the Cowboys played the Eagles in nineteen ninety two, 121 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the Monday night game Cowboys started the season I think 122 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: four and oh that year Big Monday night game. I 123 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: was working at Channel five in Dallas at the time, 124 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: and they sent me there all week. I was there 125 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: in the Eagles locker room on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday doing 126 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: stories on the Eagles leading up to that game. So 127 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: you're saying the sports publications had the money and then 128 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: investment in it. To invest in it sends you, guys 129 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: where you need to remember. I remember full coverage, versus now, 130 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: versus now, give me now. So what you're looking at, 131 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: you find somebody that lives there to do your freelance 132 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: stock And actually, during the nineties after the paper and 133 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: I was freelancing, that was part of my freelancing because 134 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: people the change, they knew I was here, right, and 135 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: instead of sending their guy the expense, it's like, okay, 136 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: for a couple hundred bucks, he can do a story 137 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: for us, right, And when you're freelancing, it's like whatever 138 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: they pay is good. Right, You're not gonna sit there 139 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: and you know that's not enough money to compromise the coverage. Though, 140 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: do you think if you find somebody that you trust 141 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: and you're basically doing feature stories, right, it's not like 142 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: you're digging for news or anything, and uh, yeah, that 143 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: was And I was fortunate because when I was freelancing, 144 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: the cowboys got good, right, and it was good timing 145 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: because now everybody wanted a piece of them. But yeah, 146 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: that was a very different error in the eighties when 147 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I got from the from you guys standpoint, well you 148 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you witness it. You saw the battles going 149 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: on in the locker room between the beat writers, right, well, 150 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: that was very interesting. Well, and the other part of 151 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: it is the access, and of course now with after 152 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: COVID and so forth, it's been cut back, you know, 153 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: to where there's no access in the locker room. I 154 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: have always said the battle between the Beat writers in 155 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: the Dallas locker room, I don't know what was going 156 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: on in Boston and the Raiders with some of the 157 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: very controversial teams. I thought that was the beginning of 158 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: this way too information of age and era that we're 159 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: in now. I told you Jim did hiding around the corner, 160 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, trying to listen to our conversations in the 161 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: in the locker room, and there was a lot of 162 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: stuff going on. Culturally, we had the union, we had 163 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: to still always had the racism thing going on, so 164 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: everything was just so volatile. And those beat writers used 165 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: that Myers ends up at HBO, Dent ends up you 166 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: know where he ended up. But Skip Bayless ends up, 167 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, writing a book and he trashed the Cowboys. 168 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: And when I went up there at one time to 169 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: do an interview of all the people to have an office, 170 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: no one else had an office up there. And this 171 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: wasn't in and this wasn't in Connecticut. It's somewhere in 172 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: New York. I forget what the studio was. What is it. 173 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: Woody the older dude. Yeah, Woody and Skip had an office, 174 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: and they loved them up there. I think because of 175 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: the controversy that they stirred up. Everyone loved Skip because 176 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: of the book that he wrote about the whole thing 177 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: about Troy Aikman and all of that. Then all of 178 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: a sudden, these guys have top billing on TV in 179 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: New York nationwide. And to me, that was the beginning 180 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: of this whole uh gossip type of coverage that they 181 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: that they use now when when they covered the team. Yeah, 182 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: but and I hated that it was it was a 183 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: little bit more. It was little different back then because 184 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: people they I know what they were doing, right, but 185 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: at least it was journalistically sound. It wasn't you believe that? 186 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now not not books, not books, yeah, books 187 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: are never yeah yeah yeah. But from a newspaper standpoint. 188 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: But some of these, some of the exposees, that's that's 189 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: all just clouded in. It's a it's a mini book, 190 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: it's a novella. Well remember Watergate changed everything? Well, well 191 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: you know what we had the water Gate in in 192 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: uh thousands, in not thousands, but the Valley round, Yeah, 193 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: water stars. Remember when Gary Myers did the survey or 194 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: he did a poll on who who they wanted for 195 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks either Danny White or first of all I Steve 196 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 1: or not Steve Gary? Yeah, Gary, hoga boo. Yeah, I 197 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: was one of those. I was one of those that 198 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: started that. So I totally raised my hand. I'm not 199 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: I don't have from anything. I totally raised my hand 200 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: on that one. And I remember, I remember Myers Myers, 201 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: and I think I saw this. Myers walked into where 202 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: the little lunch room was, right and and uh hoga 203 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: Boom said what are you doing in here? This players only? 204 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: And he goes, well what are you doing? And Hoga 205 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: Boom grabbed him. So funny grabbed him by the shirt 206 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: and carried him out of the luxury. I thought you 207 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: were gonna say, grabbed him by his pencil neck. Well 208 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: it might as well be in his net, right, I mean, 209 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: the competition was fierce. I remember in eighty six, came 210 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: back from London after the preseason game, and so it 211 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: was they gave the other guys off and I had 212 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: to go to Thousand Oaks. I should say I got 213 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: to go to Thousand Oaks and cover that week. Well 214 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: it was the week where the usfl folded. And uh, 215 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: it folded when we were in London, as a matter 216 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: of fact, because we were up in the hospitality room 217 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: at the hotel and Tech got the call from Pete 218 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: Roselle and they were going on and on, just celebrating 219 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: on the phone, and Text was loud, Oh Pete, I 220 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: love you and all this stuff, right, and and and 221 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Marty Text's wife, she was a beauty, right, and she 222 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: goes te, she goes Text.

And that's when the cowboys 225 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: were able to negotiate with Herschel to Uh, to get 226 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: him because they had already drafted him, so they had 227 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: the rights.

I said, oh, yeah, 266 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: absolutely right. But see what you see that that's coming 267 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: from a journalistic place, right, right, but when you're talking 268 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: about what's the dude named Martinez? It's from Channel thirty 269 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: three following the guy's home from the Strip clubs after 270 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: they just landed from the way game. Tell me where 271 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: the journalists? That was TV. Sorry, that was but hiding 272 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: very ridiculous man, the tree and that I was talking about. 273 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. It it started that 274 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: where we are now, it started where we are now 275 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: too well, now nothing. It's not just about how you 276 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: play now, it's about what you believe in, how you talk, 277 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: what you look like, how marketable you are. It's totally 278 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: gotten away from the game itself. I won't argue with that. 279 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: Now we've blurred the line, blurred the line between journalism 280 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: and opinion. I like that. And then and the young 281 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: kids don't know the difference because they that's what they've grown. 282 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: That's right, that's read newspaper. Very good. Well, that was interesting, 283 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: Well it was different. Hey, you can only get that 284 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: on mixed right, And how did it relate to this 285 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: week's game? We have no idea because we talked about 286 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: the Boston Globe and the Dallas Sporting News about and 287 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: by the way, when we come back, Yes, I read 288 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: some interesting stuff in the Boston Herald on this game. Okay, 289 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: so they still have two new spaces, still do yeah Boston, Okay, 290 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: one of the few places. All right, two in Chicago, 291 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: two in Boston, two three in New York. Still two 292 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: in l L A. H. The Washington Times went out 293 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: of business and they came back in somewhat of a 294 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: different form. But yeah, the Washington Post is still there. 295 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: But most of the most of the cities have one newspaper. Miami, 296 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: do we consider we have two here even though it's 297 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: Dallas and four because back then you said two, it 298 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: was actually three. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we had three 299 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: weight competition. I can tell you some stories about in Irving. 300 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: We did not get the forward Star.

Oh yeah, that's right 353 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: today he did today practice. Yesterday he has a left ankle. 354 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: And today, in the portion that we were watching, uh, 355 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: he was doing his rehab work on the resistant chords 356 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: and I noticed, see what a good reporter I am, 357 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: he had tennis shoes on. Okay, so that meant he 358 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: probably wasn't practicing, right. Uh So, yeah, he missed. And 359 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: then yesterday, Uh, I guess Demante Kaz had a hip 360 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: problem going on and he didn't finished. He started to try, 361 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: I guess, and he didn't practice and it didn't look 362 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: like he was going to practice again today. So uh, 363 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: those are the have the injury report yet this is yesterday. 364 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you observation from watching the portion that 365 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: we got to watch. Uh. Ezekiel Elliott was listed as 366 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: limited yesterday with ribs and by the way, He did 367 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: interview after practice yesterday, and I want you to hear 368 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: his description of his injury back ribs. It's ribs right 369 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: here on the back side of me. You know, your 370 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: ribs go like you know what I mean. So it's 371 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: the ribs on the back side. So what he did 372 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: was he went like, your ribs go on the way around. Oh, 373 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: thank you for that. You knew this or I mean 374 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: it almost sounds like a kidney punch. Well, yeah, yeah, 375 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: you fell on the Dard camera. Let you finish the injury. 376 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: I'd love to get to Zeke though at some point. Okay, 377 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: And so he was limited yesterday, but from what we saw, 378 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: he had the helmet on. The today's the heavy day, 379 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: they put the pads on, and he looked like he 380 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: was gonna, uh participate. Randy Gregory was listed as limited, 381 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: he looked like he was just fine. And Donovan Wilson 382 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: has uh they've got him listed as limited, but watching 383 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: him out there, he's pretty much looks like he's ready 384 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: to go. So if if Kaz can't go, Wilson might 385 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: be able to go, and that would kind of makeup 386 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: and that just give us more hype. In the second 387 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: dary and I did say Randy Gregory, right, he uh, 388 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: he was out there. He was limited yesterday, but he 389 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: was out there practicing when we were there and asked 390 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: for the Patriots. They're starting running back Damien Harris Ribs, 391 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know if, I'm not sure where, 392 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: but he did not practice yesterday. And Shack Mason, their 393 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: starting guard, did not practice yesterday. And Jalen Mills hamstring 394 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: was limited. And when I was reading in the Boston Herald, 395 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: they were saying, well, if he is able to play, 396 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: So there was some question the cornerback cuts. Now they've 397 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: got some. They've had some real issues on their offensive line, 398 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: and in fact, it was a makeshift bunch of characters 399 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: that were starting on their offensive line playing on their 400 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: offensive line last week against the Texans. A couple of 401 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: them have been on the COVID list, which did not 402 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: appear on that intright, they don't have to put him on. 403 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: Their starting left tackle Isaiah Winn, who started the first 404 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: four games of the season, did not play last week 405 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: against Houston because he was on the COVID list. They 406 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: do they did. I am seeing here at hey, Mike Anwanu. 407 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm pronouncing his name. Rights is 408 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: back at practice today for them, and he was on 409 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: the COVID list, I believe before. Okay, Bill, Yes, you 410 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: want to hear Bill Belichick on his offensive line situation. Yes, 411 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: I would love to hear this is This is coach 412 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: Belichick on the offensive line situation in New England. Okay, Yeah, 413 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: let's take a day by day. So goes there. That 414 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: was it. I swear, I swear that was the most 415 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: first conference yesterday when asked about his offensive linement. Okay, 416 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: they are also missing Justin Herron at practice today. He's 417 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: another offensive tackle. See. That's why you need intrepid reporters. 418 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: That's why you gotta be there man in his face. 419 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: And Shaq Mason was participating today. So they had listed 420 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: Herron as limited yesterday, okay, and this one saying he 421 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: missed he was not at the open portion of practice today, 422 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: okay for the Patriots, but Shack Mason was back. Well, 423 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: we'll just take it day by day, yep. So he 424 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm shocked they send us an 425 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: email today from the Patriots that the coach will be 426 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: available tomorrow on a zoom call. I was like Belichick's 427 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: really going to do a zoom call with us, just 428 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Report. Yeah, it's for us. Yeah, Oh cool, 429 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was just for us. Yeah, it'll be interesting. 430 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: But he's uh, you know the interesting thing that I 431 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: read where the reporters in Boston are looking at this 432 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: game as a big test to see where the Patriots 433 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: are right, And my column for tomorrow I got started 434 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: on it was going to be this is gonna be 435 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: a big test to see if this Cowboys offense is 436 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: for real going up against Belichick and the number five 437 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: defense in the league, which, by the way, I'm gonna 438 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 1: go back and listen to our show from Tuesday and 439 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: quote Everson Walls on what Belichick likes to do defensively 440 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: when he goes up against a high powered offense until 441 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: Bill stopped him from giving away. So I think it's 442 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: interesting how they're looking at this game, and I think 443 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: people for the Hall of Fame, Now you're gonna right, 444 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: he didn't do for the Hall of Fame. Now you 445 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: just screwed all of that. Right. You want to hear 446 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick on the Cowboys offense? I would love it. Oh, 447 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: here we go. This is yesterday as press conference on 448 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense. They're balanced, They're good at everything. Balanced. 449 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: They do a lot of things that compliment other things 450 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: that they do. Wow, that was a deep state about that. 451 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: Other things that I've got more, very deep statement. That's 452 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: a deep statement, Belichick on the digs. You want that 453 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: one here, let's go. I think we have time for it. 454 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: Read this is on. They asked him about Treyvon Diggs 455 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: and he had Lea's league and six interceptions. This is 456 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: what his comments was. Yeah, stinctive, very talented, guy, plays 457 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: the ball well, good cover skills. That's it. How do 458 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: you stay awake? Yeah? Man? And this gonna be the show. 459 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: His press conference in history shortest answers fourteen minutes long. 460 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: Fourteen minutes long. We've got about fifteen comment. That's crazy's 461 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: comment a minute. The question. This is a really funny one. Actually. 462 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: They asked about um dan Quinn's defense. Okay, like, you know, 463 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: has he changed the defense coming, you know, going from 464 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: Atlanta to here? And this was his comments yesterday. I'm 465 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: the foundation of it's similar. I wouldn't say it's quite 466 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: the same time. Let's take about it. They've changed some things. 467 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: They changed some things, they change some things, you know, 468 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: for me, come on there, why even go in there? 469 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: So how are we waiting for that one moment? All right, 470 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: Let's say he was sort of a journeyman coach and 471 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: he had been this is like his fourth team, and 472 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: how would he How would his press conferences be different 473 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: if he was a coach that was maybe on the 474 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: hot seat and doesn't have twenty two years of success 475 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: in doing like anyone would show up. I don't think 476 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: that would be And how would he be perceived by 477 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: the media They jump all over just the way, and 478 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: I think and an owner wouldn't keep him as the coach. 479 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're not selling your team a little 480 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 1: bit more than that. Yeah, no, exactly. You can understand 481 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: him being a journeyman just by his interviews. I mean, 482 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: come on, nobody wants to talk to him. He don't 483 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: want to talk anybody. That's crazy. I wonder if he 484 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: had the sweatshirt cut, collar off and shorts. When I 485 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: first met him, he was, you know, just a pleasant dude, 486 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: a normal normal yeah. And then after that man once 487 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: once that meeting was over, next time I saw it, 488 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: it was totally different. But like I said last year, 489 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: I would regularly listen to his press conferences, and there 490 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: are certain days that he was more forthcoming and interviews 491 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: and stuff. Those are the ones. That's why you stay, 492 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: That's why waiting for that moment where he would go 493 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: thirty minutes just talking and philosophically about things, and so 494 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: be like, man, you missed it. Oh damn, I'll tell 495 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: you what though. You know, Tom was nice about it, 496 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: but he didn't give out information. That's exactly right. There's 497 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: another uh comparison there between Belichick and Landry that he 498 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: didn't believe and giving up it. I remember the first 499 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: time I asked him a question in a press conference, 500 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: and it was one of those tuesdays and I finally 501 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: got up the nerve to ask a question. I had 502 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: it rehearsed and I got it out there and he 503 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: said rehearsed, No, not the answer. Micky was in front 504 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: of him in your mind out this is my moment. 505 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: And then we're talking to himself in the mirror, and 506 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: then Tom he's actually, should I call him code like 507 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: I should? Like you guys just ruined the punchline. Sorry, man, 508 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: sometimes you are the parson. So his answer his answer 509 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: was no, not really, and that was it. That's it. 510 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't remember the question. From all I know is 511 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: the answer was no, not that. And remember what the 512 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: question every time he got a question he didn't want 513 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: to answer was that was not really? That was it? Yeah? 514 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: Just no, not really was the answer that question? You 515 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: worked so hard in front of the mirror of the 516 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: morning before, and that's all I got. You're gonna kill 517 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: its bags. I'm looking all right. I got one last 518 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: one for you guys. So this was the the quote 519 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: unquote David Moore first question out of the box. The 520 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: guy asked the question, and then the answer from Bill I. 521 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: I put the question in there because you're like, okay, 522 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: what's this guy really asking? Okay, so listen, listen to 523 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: this is the first question out of the box yesterday. 524 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: One of the reasons it seems like the Cowboys are 525 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: hard to sack offensively is they've got a good line, 526 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: but death gets the ball out of his hands quickly. 527 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: Or they are they have They been a short kind 528 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: of attacking passing game from what you've seen. If they're open, 529 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: open down the field, we'll throw the throw down the 530 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: field and he'll throw it to everybody whoever's open. And 531 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of times you just got two or three 532 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: guys to choose from. It's a hard grip to cover. 533 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: Actually that was a good answer because the guy's question 534 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: was like, did you ever watched the Cowboys play? It 535 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: was a leading you know, it was like, he's like 536 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: a leading questions. They almost answered the question for him 537 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: in the question there get the ball out fast because 538 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: they don't throw the ball down the field. Right, Oh, okay, 539 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: you said that, I didn't. Did you watch the game 540 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: last week? Yeah? Goodness. He probably should have said. Parcels 541 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: would have said all. Parcels would have just said, you 542 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: know what, parselves would story. Parcels would have ate up 543 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: today's press conference too, when they got kept going on 544 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: this this mental thing the coach Chad and and the 545 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: questions kept coming and coming and coming, and it was 546 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: the second day in a row, and all I could 547 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: think of in my mind, Parcels would have go, Okay, 548 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: we had enough of this, and see you could you 549 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: imagine the difference between those two in meetings? Oh yeah, 550 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: because you know Bill's Bill, right, I'm sorry, Belichick's Belichick 551 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: and plus sales plus seals. Yeah, so I would imagine 552 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: once Belichick became the boss, his own boss. It to 553 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: change a little bit different. The dynamic changed a little 554 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: bit because first you got yeah, yeah, yeah, and he 555 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: got quiet. Now I'm the boss, you know what I'm saying. 556 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: So that's kind of how they knocked heads a little 557 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: bit when they separated. So what was Belichick like in 558 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: a meeting room? He was just like the press conference. 559 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just gonna tell you what you need 560 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: to know, a little bit more emphatic when it comes 561 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: to stressing certain things that are important. But when I 562 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: got there, everyone in the room was a veteran. You know, 563 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: lt was smart. You know by the time he had 564 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: been been with Bill all that time, with Belichick all 565 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: the time, he learned a lot of things. And he 566 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: not only did he play instinctively, he was a better 567 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: player as he got older because the stuff that Belichick 568 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: taught him. Now you're sitting up there with Call Banks, 569 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: that's another coach on the field, Gary Reasons, that's another 570 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: coach on the field. So you really everything's almost kind 571 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: of understood in the meeting. We've been here before, guys 572 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: that hadn't changed the defense since eighty six or whatever 573 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: since he got there. So it wasn't like they had 574 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: the whole to justness to make and they play against 575 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: the same opponents. He knows the same coaches, so he 576 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: attacks it in that way in a very uniform manner. 577 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: And like I said, the most exciting thing that happened 578 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: was when LT was later or something, and that never happened. Well, no, 579 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: not much, all right, let's talk Zeke here when we 580 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: come back. Okay, in just a moment.

Um. There 627 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: has been a series the Zeke interviews this season have 628 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: been very entertaining. So did you catch all of yesterday's 629 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: I did not? Ye have some more you would like 630 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: to pass along. Well, they were asking him about last year, okay, 631 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 1: and he said, oh yeah, he goes that was an 632 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: S show meeting himself the fumbles and he called it, 633 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: called it an S show. That is very accurate. A 634 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: lot of people would concurred with that, you know. But 635 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: like the other day, he's talking about Trey Vin and 636 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show and the number of interceptions. 637 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: Why he's at six now, Man, what's a record nine 638 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: or ten? And and someone said fourteen. Oh oh, that's 639 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: a lot. Yes. The giggle that he has is just 640 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: it's infectious, and it's it's so funny, the giggle at 641 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,959 Speaker 1: the end of the rib. But you know what, he's 642 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: become more real this year, like he's let his guard down. 643 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure why, but he was very protective for 644 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: I would say the majority of his first three seasons, 645 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it had to do 646 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: with the court case and and he didn't trust people. 647 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: There's something. There's no baggage this year. He's in a 648 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: really good place. And part of it maybe he knows 649 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: he's in the best shape probably of his life, and 650 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: he's he's playing well and he's just in a great frame. 651 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: Of mind. But it's it's in those interviews you can 652 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 1: really see it. And I think you put it best 653 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: there that it's he's not guarded at anything, that he 654 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: he's just himself and you can see what of how 655 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: he has got to be one of the most popular 656 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: guys in that locker room. Oh absolutely, And I think 657 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: he's taken a leadership role too in there. And if 658 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: you think about at the end of these interviews before, 659 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: when we were in the locker room and everybody's huddled 660 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: around him, he would finish and then he just kind 661 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: of put his head down and you know, and walk off. 662 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: There was no little very rarely a chit chat. Now 663 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 1: he finishes and he goes all right, well good, everybody 664 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: have a good day, you know, and it's like, all right, 665 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's a maturity about him that 666 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 1: where he felt like he had to be guarded on 667 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: what he said and so we would kind of get 668 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: caught in his answers to questions where he wasn't sure 669 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: what to say, and so he would stumble a little bit. 670 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: But he is just it's very smooth. I've told our 671 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: producers at CBS eleven, we need to put a reel 672 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: together of just the funny stuff which has that laughter 673 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: and stuff of throughout this season. By the end of 674 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: the season, you could have a five minute reel that 675 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: is just really entertaining. And he's laughing at his talk. 676 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: He's he's last joke. It's self deprecating. I mean, it's 677 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: just it's it's just really cool. And part of it too, 678 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: he's very very comfortable because people wonder, oh, Tony Poler 679 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: is getting all these carries and stuff. He's fully on 680 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: board with that. You can just tell that that's he's 681 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: bought into the team. And I think that's kind of 682 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: one of the traits for this team right now, is 683 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: how unselfish they are, and you rarely see that on offense. 684 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: Right the receivers are the unreceivers in the NFL, because 685 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: no one's worrying about how many targets they get, how 686 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: many get yeah, yeah, yeah. Could you think about prison 687 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: and Butch Johnson, Is that what you are you saying? 688 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin is a prim do now? I think I 689 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: was referring more closely to Terrell Owens and Dez Bryant 690 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: because of their persona, they would they would provoke the question, oh, 691 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: are you happy? Did you get enough touches? You know? 692 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: Did you get enough targets? And and and and and 693 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 1: port Terrell Owens. It was like I could answer those 694 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: questions for him, you know, the Tony Dungee. It wasn't 695 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: a verse. I don't know what it was one of 696 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: the uh uh phone providers. I could put the helmet 697 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 1: on like Dungee did. The kid was on a date 698 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: in the car and he was telling him what to 699 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: say to the date. Right. I could have answered his 700 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: questions for him. Just listen to me right, and he 701 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: would he would. He would try to take on a 702 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: group of twenty people and you can't do it. You 703 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: can't do it, you know. And and port Dez he 704 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: was just so nice. I mean, he was nice, but 705 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: he didn't know how to answer right exactly, a politically 706 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: correct exactly. That one day when he told Rich Dalrymple, 707 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: the PR direct or, somebody asked a question. He didn't 708 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: like it. He was like, Rich, fix this, and it's 709 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: still a drop. Now it's still a drop. I'm on 710 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: those same lines with what kind of question did he 711 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: ask it? I forgot what it was. Somebody was in 712 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: the locker room doing something and he didn't like it. No, 713 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: it was it was someone was live tweeting something in 714 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: the locker room and oh he saw Dez was at 715 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: his locker reading this guy Lowe in the locker room 716 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: and he was basically complaining because the guy was like 717 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: he was a national guy that was just there. I 718 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: believe he wasn't one of the beat guys. Okay, was 719 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: that guy fixed this? But now when you start talking 720 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: about Zeke, it was all the things that you guys said. 721 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,439 Speaker 1: It was maturity and that was Dez. No, I'm talking 722 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: about Zeke. Yeah, I'm talking about Zeke. Chris. I said 723 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: that was Dez who said that, not Zeke. Thank you, 724 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: but that way. Moved on, Chris, we're doing the I'm 725 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: not gonna mess you up because you're producing. I want 726 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: you to get on this. Chris, I move along. Chris, please, 727 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm not the only one they picked out. Okay, but 728 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: now it's both of those. Because of the maturity, he 729 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: has overcome all of that, you know, the Bourbon Street that, yeah, 730 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: just the rumors, the stuff of the Ohio state that 731 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: follow them, and just so much massive. He finally put 732 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: that parade. Yeah, all of that, he finally put he 733 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,720 Speaker 1: finally put it behind him though, you know, and because 734 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: you can put that behind you, now he's more comfortable 735 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: with himself and like you say, lost that weight. He 736 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: feels so much better to what all excuses are behind me, 737 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 1: and now it can be myself. And let's not forget 738 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: having the quarterback that's so cut and dry conservative. It's 739 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: easier to be the opposite of that. You let you 740 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: let that, you know, tow the line, and then that 741 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: means I can be more relaxed and be myself while 742 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: I'm kind of show you what the other things behind him, 743 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: yards and defenders. He is four fifty two right now 744 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: after five games I figured out over a seventeen game season, 745 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: he's on a fifteen hundred yard pace and he's third 746 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 1: right now in the NFL with four fifty two. Only 747 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,439 Speaker 1: guys ahead of him are Henry and Chubb, but he's 748 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: got less carries than them, but he's averaging five point 749 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,800 Speaker 1: three yards a carry, and among nine kickers in the NFC, 750 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: he's the leading scorer with six touchdowns. And let's look 751 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: at it like that. If it wasn't you know, we 752 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: love Tony Polos, of course, and he loves him being there. 753 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: But if it wasn't for Tony, then those numbers would 754 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: be even high. And Polard's tenth by the way, so 755 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,760 Speaker 1: you had five yards. You add just half of Polo's 756 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: numbers to Zeke and then that's what you're looking. So 757 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: those two guys right now, if I do some quick 758 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 1: math here, they're like at eight hundred yards three three 759 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 1: twenty five and four fifty two, four fifty two, seven 760 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: seventy seven. Okay, that was pretty divided by five. That's 761 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five point four per game time seventeen. 762 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: They're on a pace together to have two thousand, six 763 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: hundred and forty two yards this season. So that's why 764 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 1: right now the Cowboys are the second ranked rushing offense 765 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: in the league. I believe it's behind Buffalo or Cleveland, 766 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: behind Cleveland Cleveland, and the quarterback with the number two 767 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,439 Speaker 1: tack rating, So what does that add up to? Hell 768 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: of an offensive line? Right That's what Patty adds up 769 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: to a hell of an offensive line. I got to 770 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,320 Speaker 1: stay a hell of a play call as well. And 771 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 1: the quarterback is fourth in touchdown passes and by the way, 772 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff we're talking about, Zeke, you 773 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: can also apply to Amari Cooper, right, and his interviews 774 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: that he's doing this year. I mean, he is very insightful. 775 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: You can see how smart he is in his interviews. 776 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: There's a comfort level that he has this year that uh, 777 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: it's it's a change from the past. And maybe it 778 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: has a lot to do just with the confidence that 779 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: this team. They really believe they got something special here. 780 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,800 Speaker 1: And like you said, you got why a group of 781 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: wide receivers that are unselfish. No one's complaining that is 782 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: that is very very that's without Michael Gallant. Yeah, that 783 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: is very unusual. And then throw two tight ends in 784 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: there too, and you know, and it's not like Jarwin's 785 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 1: going all should the best he can, That's right. I mean, 786 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: it's it's an amazing offense. And like I said, we 787 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: will find out more just how good they are when 788 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 1: they go up against the professor that's right, number five 789 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 1: defense in the league, that's right. And they held and 790 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: like I said, they held, They held Brainy to nineteen 791 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: points and touchdown passes. That was a bad weather game. 792 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,479 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a good way now. They played 793 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: him well in the Texas State in at NT Stadium 794 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: as well. When he came here. That wasn't bad they 795 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: could have done. Talk about Brady against New England. Oh 796 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And in fact, we can close with this 797 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: weather forecast on Sunday in Boston, not Foxborough, but Boston 798 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,280 Speaker 1: close enough. Sixty six degrees for the high, partly cloudy skies, 799 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:37,040 Speaker 1: low fifty two, high sixty six. That's right, that's one 800 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: for Boston. Yeah, okay, but just know when they went 801 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: up there in that rain storm in twenty nineteen, dacked 802 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 1: through for more yards than Brady and had more total 803 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: yards offense than the Patriots did, and they lost thirteen 804 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: to nine. Nine time Pro Bowler Matthews Slater. That's right. 805 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: Special teams, all right, We will have our picks to 806 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,840 Speaker 1: click tomorrow here on another edition of Mix Shots Cowboys. 807 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,879 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 808 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
