I go somewhere else. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.959 Okay, So any reports that are out there about the 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:44.240 players signing with the Cowboys, nothing is official until noon today. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.440 That's when they can start signing guys back, okay, because 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.160 before they change the rule, you had to wait till 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.440 three o'clock. But they decided, well, teams are practicing, let's 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.680 get the practice squad together for the practice. And that's 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.200 why they're precs like at night. Also, by the way, okay, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.800 all right, one of the reasons. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.480 Okay. So anyway, that's how we get things started. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.480 And on Monday, we got breaking news after we got 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:12.240 off the air. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.320 Here, and that was that clam. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.880 Has signed his contract. And I think everyone. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:26.799 Over let's go, let's go, let's go, baby, let's do this. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.519 And I think everyone could have predicted that Monday was 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.280 going to be the day. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:38.640 Sure, absolutely, especially since uh Jerry when communication cold on Saturday. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.680 When Jerry goes communication cold, right, that means something something similar. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.600 For sure, when when he doesn't talk, when he. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.960 Refused, didn't say anything, I didn't mention. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.119 Him, solike him. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.160 That's when you know something's close. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:56.760 I know. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.280 But how great was it to see c D yesterday 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.079 at Cowboys Night at the practice. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.560 He was just so happy to be back in this facility. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.320 His interview afterwards, Oh my gosh, he was over joyed 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.079 to be back. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.400 I think he was overjoyed to be back here with us, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:15.920 or was there another reason that he. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:21.640 Was well, But I mean, you know, we knew it 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.240 was gonna We knew it was going to happen. I 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:24.919 mean that we all felt it was going to happen. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.240 But you know, he was not just happy because of that. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.320 He's happy because it's over, it's. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.760 Done, and he gets, as he pointed out, I get 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.400 to do what I love to do, get to go 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.440 back and play footnoll because he pointed out that he 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.480 hadn't been in this building since the middle of January 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:42.400 after the loss. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.800 Let's let's just let's just look at his numbers from 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.280 last year, and you know that he's going to He's 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:54.760 his off season was probably as professional as it could be, 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.640 you know, considering the fact that that he's not signed. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.160 He hadn't signed at the. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:00.880 Time, but huge contract. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.760 But yeah, but you also knew that he was going 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.400 to be in shape when he got here, absolutely, because 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.280 that's you know, guys, these days, they're not like we 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.120 were back. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.120 In the day, spags, we went to training camp to. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:13.520 Get in shape. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.960 Now we this guy and all of these professionally at 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.200 these these days. It's a twenty four hour, three hundred 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.360 and sixty five degree deal. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.360 And he said he'd be ready. He's been running, he's 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.440 been doing, he said. The only thing I haven't been 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.120 able to do is have somebody kind of jostle me. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.279 Around, like the contact, a little bit. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.440 Of contact to hit when you know you're going to. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.599 Get guys like myself. Yeah, guy might be invading his 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:38.920 sale somebody. Yeah. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.680 Yeah, And that's hard to simulate, it is. So he 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:48.120 gets it done. It's an extension now, right, So because 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:53.080 of the year he had on the contract, they rolled 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.640 that money into the total package of what ended up 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.560 being one hundred and thirty six million, So this seventeen 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.120 point ninety nine went into that package, and then they 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.680 could lower his base salary this year to the minimum 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.120 of one point two I think one point one two. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.960 But what they wanted to do is pro rate the 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.960 thirty eight million dollars signing bonus over five years, so 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.880 they get to do it this year and then the 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:25.960 four years of the extension. So good deal for him. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.919 But if you look at the guaranteed money. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.160 The last year one hundred right million. 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:40.039 But that's that was what you can earn with play incentives. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.159 Okay, okay, but the so he's up to one hundred 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.280 million guarantee. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.440 But the final year of his contract twenty twenty eight, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.400 so final year of the extension. Uh, it's a thirty 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.720 one million dollar base salary and it's not guaranteed. So 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.440 to me, I'm dividing taking thirty one out of the 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:06.680 thirty six divided by five, and it averages thirty million 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.320 or by four thirty million are So it's right the 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.880 line what everybody else is averaging. Because all these other numbers, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.839 the one forty, the one thirty eight or whatever, they 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.479 were not counting that year that wasn't guaranteed. So the 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.280 fact that he got thirty eight million dollars signing bones 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.840 had a lot to do with what they already owed. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:30.880 Them for this year. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.600 So it's not out of line. Because I saw something 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.680 I think it was in the San Jose paper and 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.200 they said, well, the Cowboys just screwed things up for 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:44.120 San Francisco because they can't sign Ayuk to money like that, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.520 and they just set a precedence, and the guy didn't 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:52.200 read inside the contract like what it really is. The 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.719 other thing that wasn't pointed out with Jefferson having like 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:02.640 the largest I didn't know this, but Minnesota has a 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.039 nine percent state income tax. So take nine percent out 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:12.840 of one forty that's eleven million dollars that he doesn't 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:17.240 get the state gifts. So CD gets all his here 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.320 in Texas, right, no state income tax. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.240 And you know the thing about these contracts, you know, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.720 I learned that back in the day. Sometimes it's just 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.240 about the optics, right. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:27.480 You know. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.240 You can dangle numbers out for the agent, yeah, perfect, exactly. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.440 Well, but for the team as well, because the team 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.840 wants to say that they did right by their players, right, 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:36.880 So it's the same thing. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.000 You know. You can talk about it all you want. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.520 You can flip these numbers here, and turn these numbers 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:42.720 here and divide this and. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:43.120 All of that. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.920 When it comes down to it, it's just all about 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.600 what looks good on paper. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.000 Seeing so many people want to say, well, if they 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.440 paid them that, why didn't they do it a month ago? 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.360 Well you don't know what they were asking for, that's right, 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.560 And you don't know that maybe they wanted a three 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:58.920 year deal instead of a four. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.960 Year and negotiations are negotiations. 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.400 Bro take time. It takes a lot of patience this stuff. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.200 You're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars and then 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.200 we're supposed to be getting it done like that. It 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.560 just never happened. Although I am a bit concerned that 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.880 we have two guys that we have to sign. I'm 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.480 still concerned, but I'm still concerned. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.160 Yeah, of course, Well, I. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.280 Think that's just that's that's NFL football. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.440 Eventually, Dax will get done. I don't know that there's 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.800 I don't want to use the word urgency, but it'll 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.839 get done. And then Micah that's next year. 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.120 And even Ceedy mentioned yesterday and interviews how he's like 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.240 he wants to see the dact you'll get done because 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.320 he wants to have that chemistry with DAK and that 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.080 they're at the top of the leader ward as far 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.679 as those stats, and he, you know, Ceedy even mentioned 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:48.960 he wants Dax done as well. 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.360 So right, yeah, catches last year one hundred and thirty five. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.000 I want he wants he wants one for looking think 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.520 about think about I think one thing about CD. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.920 I'm happy to see him get paid because he. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:09.400 Spent about the last seven years getting other people paid. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.480 And that would be the quarterarterback, the quarterbacks that he 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.400 has played with, going back to his time at Oklahoma, 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.479 Baker Mayfield is not the first pick in the draft 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.480 if he doesn't have ced Lamb that he's throwing to. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.520 Kyler Murray is not the first pick in the draft 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.320 without throwing to ced Lamb. And then he had Jalen Hurtz, 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.480 who wasn't the first pick in the draft. He was 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.640 a second round pick, but he contributed to Jalen hurts 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:37.320 Stock as. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.640 Well in the NFL. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.359 And then he comes to Dallas and you got Dak Prescott, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.040 who's now about to get his second contract since playing 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.200 with CD Lamb. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.120 And here's the other thing about CD. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.319 If you go back and look at his time as 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.320 far as being a winning football player, go back to 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.679 his time and I saw this last night at Oklahoma. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.840 And here, of course he's had He's been on three 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.520 straight teams that have won twelve games in the NFL 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.720 his three years at Oklahoma. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.120 How many games this season did Oklahoma win twelve? They 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.000 won twelve, They went twelve and two all three years so. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.960 Six has to throw in the Oklahoma No. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.640 No, but no, but seriously, it's more of a CD thing. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.400 Six six of. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.800 The last seven years. The only year that Cede Lamb 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.080 did not win twelve games in a season was the 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.679 COVID year in twenty twenty, when his rookie year, when 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.040 the Cowboys went six and ten and they didn't have 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.720 a full offseason or anything. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.640 And here's the best thing of him as a receiver. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.199 He can play all three positions. He's not just this 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.880 or he's not just that. Which was the mistake I 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:51.960 saw in the in the Mercury News. The guy said, yeah, the. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.040 San Jose News while you're reading it came up. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.800 He came up on a headline when I went to Google, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.520 and for some reason I saw it. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.880 And this will be the last time we mentioned them 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:03.439 on this program. 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:09.760 Right, but again, here's how shoddy reporting. They pointed out 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.000 that they paid all that money for a guy that 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.200 lines up in the slot. Oh wow, how do you 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.760 make that mistake? He doesn't know what he's talking about. Right, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.320 That's why it's this stuff online you gotta be careful about. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.280 You just got to be careful. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.000 You missed it, Chris, that was. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.440 There's a mix shot, the mixed shot about shoddy. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:37.839 Reporting the San Jose. Why did you even give who 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:47.560 still anyway out come on? 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.600 Well it wasn't because they were right. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.400 There you go. But here's the thing I like about CD. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.240 It's the subtlety in his game. You know, he's a 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:03.600 guy that there's no sense of urgency in what he does, 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.760 and it's simply because he has the timing between he 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.440 and his quarterback in his head. And I think that's 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:13.520 extremely admirable. You look at him when he comes off 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.560 the line of scrimmage, you wonder why he's open all 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.400 the time, because if I'm looking at him as a player, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.080 I'm gonna think, oh, this guy, you know he would 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.160 be easy to contact off the line of scrimmage. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:26.199 That is not the case. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.959 He has never shown that a guy can shut him 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.280 down coming off the line of scrimmage in a press position. 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.040 That's something that makes him the most comfortable target for 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.160 a quarterback because he can see right away that this 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.120 guy didn't get jammed at the line of scrimmage and 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.920 I will play, will continue because of what he did. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.839 Those kind of things are those subtle things that. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:54.440 You really need from a consistent combination between quarterback and 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.920 wide receiver. You got to have that kind of subtlety 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.080 there because they know we're coming to him, right, but 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.440 yet you still can't stop it. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.200 You know why that is he's a master of his craft. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.760 He really is, true, and it really goes back to 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.760 his high school days, even I mean, he has never 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.720 not known success. If you go back to his high 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.040 school days in Houston, his senior year, he had ninety 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.200 eight catches for two thousand and thirty two yards and 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:26.040 thirty three touchdowns. The yards is the fourth in the 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.200 State of Texas history. And then without red shirt season 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.520 or anything, he goes right into college and does the 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.160 exact same stuff all through college, and then he goes 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.640 right in as a first round draft pick in the NFL. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.080 And it's just it is arrow kicks. He used to 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:41.520 point up. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.040 I think he was doing it in the I don't 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.120 know what the league was called with junior high level 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.800 when he was playing in Houston, and they had this 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.120 fancy team with a bunch of guys that got ended 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.400 up in the NFL or at least at Oklahoma. The 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:02.160 safety build, the big safety from Houston. They were all 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.679 on this same team. And one of the wide receivers 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:08.360 that went to LSU because they all had moved there 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.280 during Katrina. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:14.360 Exactly right, Yeah, because he's from Louisiana. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.720 And so and so they had this young team they 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.640 were they were winning all the titles, like even national titles. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.880 So yeah, he's uh, he's been a winner. And guess 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.880 what else he adds. He adds to that running back 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.200 room because if you remember last year, they started lining 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.800 him up in the backfield and handling the ball, pitching 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.920 them the ball, and the threat of that happened takes 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.800 away from what the coverage is. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.880 So are we looking for him to so about? Yeah? 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.520 Right, Well, and the other thing is he he maintains 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.440 he will be ready to play next Sunday, that the 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.280 ramp up, they will put him through a ramp up. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.120 But that uh, you know, I don't know that he 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.120 plays fifty snaps, but I think he goes out and 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.000 I went back. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:06.479 Bet he does pay if they have fifty snaps on offense. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.280 And if they have and if they have ninety. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.800 Snaps on offense, he'll be out there for ninety snaps. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.800 This reminded me of nineteen ninety two when Michael Irvin 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.240 missed the entire training camp. The Cowboys were going to 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.360 open the season on Monday night against Washington. He signed 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:32.080 his contract Thursday, right, And it was a long negotiation 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:39.000 back and forth. Local agent Steve Endicott was Mike's agent. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.560 And how about this. It was one of the biggest 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.440 contracts ever signed by the Cowboys. It was three years, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:46.560 three point seventy five. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:47.400 Wow. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.880 And they were arguing over should it be one point 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:56.880 seventy five or one point zero? Right, And they finally 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.880 met at one and a quarter a year. Mike showed 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.880 up on Thursday, and they had seen him working out 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:10.480 in pads during training camp. Here Craig James was throwing 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.640 passes to him, right, and and and so when he 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:19.520 showed up, Uh so it was Elvin Harper, Kelvin Martin. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:25.600 Forgot who the other Williams not yet anyway, those they 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.000 had three and Jimmy goes, yeah, he's not starting, you know, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:34.400 he can't start. Second play of the game. He came in, yes, yes, 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:39.480 thank you, and right, and so he ended up with 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.120 five catches for eighty nine yards. With no training camp. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.320 They won the first three games in the game he 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.720 gave him and each each game his catches went up 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.960 for the first three games that they started the season 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.560 off with a three and oh record. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.400 So as I was going to say, if you think 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.520 about c the and his accomplishments and his drive, ah, 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.600 he's an old school player. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.840 Yeah, And that was like he has that same work 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:10.960 ethic that Michael had. 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:11.359 That's it. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.639 And that was kind of Michael's breakout season because re Membory, 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.119 he tore his a cl in eighty nine ninety he 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.000 played half the season ninety one. He was pretty good, 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.320 but that was his big breakout season. No training camp. 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:31.760 So I still have visions of Mike rehappened with his 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.159 a cl and he was living in Carrollton at that 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:36.399 time where I was living. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.240 I'm coming bicycle story. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:47.399 Yeah he's heard them, but I've heard and we have 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.960 different listeners. Big Mike in the middle of Trinity Mills 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.440 riding his bicycle down the middle of the road. It 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:56.680 was a scary sock. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:57.399 I must add. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.439 I Uh, Mike used to get on my irvis when 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.840 I first met him, you know when that was that 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.200 eighty nine season, and you know, it was just tough, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.359 even from the beginning, it was tough. And I just 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.600 remember when he got injured and he had on a 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:20.280 weight vest and he was bounding, just bounding, trying to 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:25.520 work there. I'm like, damn, that looks hard. I'm like, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.280 you know that I had never seen anything like that. 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.359 I mean, I've seen guys work hard. I've seen, but 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:36.639 coming off of that injury and his determination at that time, 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.720 well it went from this. I would see him in 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.280 the in the Jacuzie area and he was depressed, I 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.080 mean really depressed, and I remember talking to him and 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:47.880 I don't know what I you know, we just talked, 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.880 talked talking. Next thing, you know, I see him out 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.400 there bounding with that weight best on, and that thing 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:54.280 had to be. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.359 It seemed like it was close to twenty five pounds 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:57.840 weight vest and. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.640 He was bounding off of two feet down the track 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.800 in pally Rance And I'm like, man, this guy's going 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:03.240 to be red. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.840 And then he had to have a second surgery because 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.360 the scar tissue built up. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.399 Yeah, he might have heard himselves, yeah get read right? 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.399 Yeah all right. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.040 So I wonder when we come back here on make shots, 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.200 is there room on this roster for a former four 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.600 time Pro Bowl running back?
