Of course it's a 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.880 Monday night game. That's why it's happening on a Friday. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.920 Normally this event is reserved for a Thursday during a 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:10.680 normal week. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.760 That's exactly right. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.960 So me practices a season, did y'all have that? 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:16.279 Who counts? 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.160 We lose count every practice? 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.640 Every practice? Well, and I told you guys. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.120 One other time the forty nine ers were ahead of 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.400 the game, and that's when Bill Watsh was there and 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:32.000 they were winning. They had maybe one full pad practice 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.480 every week and maybe a shoulder pads with shorts. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.719 I remember going out there. I remember going out there 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:45.760 and covering the Cowboys Niners NFC championship game in January 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.160 of nineteen ninety three. That's post Bill Walsh, but I 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.000 remember and went out there early in the week, so 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.080 covered all their practices and everything, and they were in 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.359 shorts all the time, all the time. It was like 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.760 standard operating procedure. It was such a different environment than 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.960 what Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys were doing. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.440 And I can give you a great example of that 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.280 for the ninety three season Super Bowl when the Cowboys 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:20.000 were playing Buffalo and they were no. Ninety two Super 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:24.719 Bowl excuse me, and the workouts were in LA. Cowboys 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:31.320 were at UCLA and Buffalo was at USC and I 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.039 was the pool reporter for the AFC practice, so I 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.240 got to watch the Bills practice. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.839 Jerry got him behind in. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:52.599 The upstanding person I was that they so they got 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:53.920 towards the end of. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.120 It might have been the Thursday practice, and the Cowboys, 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.560 I know what they were doing at you sail. They 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.000 had pads every day and they were lusting. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.719 Heads right the bills. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.000 They were out there in I think maybe they had 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.599 their helmets on and then jerseys and shorts, and they 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:19.920 was getting close to the end of practice. And their 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:25.360 star middle linebacker was it Conklin does that right? 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.400 Yes, he's out in practice. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.000 He does. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.880 They're out in practice and. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.360 It's getting close to the end, right, And I saw 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.479 him catch mar Levy's eye and he did. And for 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.120 the people that are watching, I'll do it for you, 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.560 but to explain it, he in the middle of practice. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.920 He looked over there and he did this with his 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:56.440 wrists so he could see his watch like time. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.440 So, yeah, we've been out here long enough. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.599 And I was thinking, oh, you guys got another thing 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.839 coming when you get. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.600 To the game. If that's the way you're going to 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.880 prepare for this one, because I knew what the Cowboys. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.160 Were doing, and it was Shane Conlin. Shane Shane and 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.640 not Conkland, but con thank you. I think he's a 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:17.440 Penn State game. 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.800 I was closed. I believe it was only thirty years 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:24.040 but I couldn't. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:24.600 I was. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:28.120 I was shocked because I knew what the Cowboys are doing, right. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.240 And we had had we just beat them. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.760 No, this was that was the first round YEP twenty seven, 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.120 Super Bowl twenty seven. 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.800 Okay, so we had beat them two years when we 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:46.400 mean giants, Oh yeah, hey giants remember remember, I mean, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:47.800 come on, I have something to do about it. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.040 No, they would have lost. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.920 Too, and then and then they got beat by. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.880 Washington and then twice by the Cowboys. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.960 The first of the other thing they were worried about 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.640 was security. They wanted to shut down the student swimming 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.960 pool diving, the high dive because they were worried their 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:11.120 spies up there. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.160 So you think the spies gonna come up there in 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:17.240 the in a bikini with the camera, I don't know 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.320 the paper. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.680 That was Bill Poullian's big objective, to make sure no 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.520 one was watching up on the dive. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.280 On the dive forward, Yes, platform. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.440 I saw, I'm sure it's the platform. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.400 And then they noticed that the dormitory that was right 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:40.559 next to the swimming pool, the rooms at the edge end, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.080 had balconies. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.440 They wanted to shut down the balconies. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:52.920 I can see that, but still you're gonna but the students. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:56.240 They don't say anything, We'll be out there on the balcony. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:56.400 You know. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:01.240 And they did it before in Minnesota when they were practicing. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.640 Uh they were at the University of Minnesota in their 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:09.360 indoor facility because it was freezing cold that week and. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:18.240 Uh winter in California in Minnesota, Minneapolis, and the coaches, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.720 the University of Minnesota coaches were on a second floor 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.520 at the end of the practice facility and they had. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.000 All the drapes drawn in their offices and then one 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.600 office had a light command and the drape was opened, 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.000 get up there, make sure who's in that room. And 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.880 I'm going, God, just worry about football. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:40.200 You know. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.079 They had already lost too. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.000 That was the second one they lost. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.640 And so they're still the. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.199 Next year, they're still worried about yes, and they were 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.840 still worried about security. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:54.240 Yes. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.360 So they it's not like, well this is new to 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.439 them that they're going to get their butts kicked in 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.360 the Super Bowl. But they'd already lost the two teams 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.880 and here they have the same attitude. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.120 It's amazing. 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.319 But anyway, so you uh, we talked about the ninety 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.240 two Cowboys touched on the ninety three Cowboys. And how 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.280 about now the ninety four Cowboys, And how ahead of 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.360 the time was Barry Switzer going for it on fourth 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.480 and one of just twenty nine yard line? Is Dan 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.920 Campbell related to Barry Switzer somehow? 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.280 Well, they're both gun slingers, of both gunslingers. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:28.359 Well it wasn't. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.199 That was thirty years ago. It's an anniversary. Might actually 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.200 be the actual anniversary of the Cowboys Eagles. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.679 Game analytic anniversary. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:43.200 Uh huh, you know what I think he last night? 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.960 So Bill's referring to he feared his defense so bad 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.640 that he was willing to gamble going for so they 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.880 could run out the clock. 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.720 They did not want. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:01.040 Green Bay to have any seconds left to downfield and 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:01.880 tied again. 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.520 But how about going for it on fourth and one 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.600 at your own thirty one? 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.080 Well, what happened at the end of the game, and 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:07.480 that was. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.600 Like that was like the Switzer one, which from his 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.720 own twenty nine but he made four or five, that's right. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.320 So well that's that one that he didn't make almost 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:16.680 cost it. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.360 Yeah, it did gave him a short field from what 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:20.439 thirty yards out? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.000 I think they had like the first three scores with 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.480 short fields. If I'm not mistaken. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.920 Well, they had interception return that and I don't forgot 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:30.720 what the other. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.480 One or something, but it was a short field, you're right, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:38.360 and they gave him that one. They gave it, uh gambling. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.000 I guess he must be feeling pretty good about himself. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.520 I don't think it was a matter of not trusting anyone. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.440 I think it is the other way around. He actually 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.079 did trust his defense. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.440 I thought, no, he didn't in the end because he 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.720 didn't want them to have the ball to come back 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.199 and tie the game up. He wanted to win it 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.920 with his offense, and he did. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:58.680 He did. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.079 In Actually, it was the ninety five season, wouldn't it 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.320 was the year the Cowboys won the Super Bowl. Oh dum, dumb, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:12.040 dumb and dumber. Yeah, that was the headlight of the 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:13.400 New York Post, New York Next. 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.040 The next day, Berry and Jerry together Jimmy, I mean 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:18.840 Jerry and. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.200 Jerry Dumb and dumber in the the movie had just 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.240 come out. I guess that was messed up, but it 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.960 was okay. What's the date today? 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.440 December sixth? 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.080 December sixth, and that was December tenth, nineteen ninety five, 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.720 So that was twenty nine years. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.640 Ago, it was cold, he wanted to go in. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.120 And that's the other thing is the win. And that's 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.440 the reason why Switzer did it, was because he didn't 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.480 think they could punt it very far in that Philadelphia wind, 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.920 so twenty to seventeen loss, and then the Cowboys turned 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.360 it around and won the Super Bowl. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.559 In something load left. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:57.679 So who's dumb and dumbing? 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.520 Mm hmm, that's right, yeah, mhm. Okay, So there's a 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.520 our little trip down memory lane and now one of 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.640 the Cincinnati on one Monday. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.760 Night four and eight Bengals. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.480 So we have a five seven Cowboys, right, we'll. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.120 Take them lightly. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.240 I think Jerry has said it like at least twice 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.480 this week, and he said it again today on his 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:29.880 radio segment that they're a lot better than their record seems. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.680 I think that's pretty obvious. Once you watch the game. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.400 It's you know, they have their faults, just like we do. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.080 But when you start thinking about the offensive talent that 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.320 they have, it's pretty hard, pretty hard, and. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:44.360 They're productive. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.199 Pretty hard to go out there and just say, oh, 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:47.760 these guys are gonna be a piece of cake. And 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.440 I give I'm hoping, my dB, I hope my DB's 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.640 out there stretching out real good because it's gonna be 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:55.199 a track meet. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:14:00.360 Give give Michael Parsons credit to for warning everybody. He 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:06.240 basically kind of sang Joe Burrow's praises yeah, and said 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.280 that if the record was reversed, he would be the 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.760 leading candidate for MVP, no doubt. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.040 And he's right. If you look at his. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.720 Burrows numbers, all the stuff he leads the league with 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:28.240 in passing, they score points. And again, I forgot to 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.760 check the the uh. We talked about it yesterday, the 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.800 line on the game because the Bengals were five and 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.280 a half point favorites when the week started. I don't 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:48.440 know if it's changed, Denny, but that's almost unheard of, 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.840 giving the home team five and a half points when 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.360 the records are not even the sake. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.960 So and we've had some time, We played some tough 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.480 teams and lost to some tough teams. So it's not like, 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.160 you know, we've been, you know, dancing through the whole schedule. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.160 And beat Washington on the road on the road, Pittsburgh 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:11.800 on the road. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.800 Come on, I'm a second place team in the first place, 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.920 Pittsburgh still in first, right y, Yes, yep, and. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.200 They're they're trending up. So I don't know. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.480 I'm a look at that the points that Cincinnati is 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.440 putting on the board, and can the Cowboys match it? 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.920 I'm looking at our defense, you know me, I'm mister 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:43.000 mister positive, you know, mister optimistic. There are times when 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.840 your defense plays over its head. This needs to be 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.280 one of those games where. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.160 You know, we know what they have. We're already fearful 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.600 of it, right, We've already planned for that. 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.120 Can we, you know, go into the game that focused, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.880 stay focused on the on the task at hand. Can 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.360 we do that as a as a defense. I'm not 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.040 talking about offense as a defense. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.120 Can we meet the challenge? You're talking about a guy. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.560 First of all, you think he's gonna get paid next year, 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:13.880 Chase the wide receiver. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.960 Oh well, I would imagine he was supposed to get 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:21.880 paid this year. Well he was. He franchised this year. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.840 I don't know. So he's in his fourth year, fourth year, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.840 he's the fifth year option picked up for next year. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.120 Okay, so he's a year behind. 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:34.800 He's twenty one, yep. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.480 Okay, so yeah, that's the same thing's going to happen. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:45.120 So I keep I left my transcription of Micah's interview, 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.800 but I like the fact that he sat there and said, 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.480 when they started talking about how good Cincinnati's offense was, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.720 that I need to be the best player on the field. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:58.840 We need to be. 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.760 A better defense, as matter of fact, play our best 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.400 defensive game of the year to. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.560 Be able to deal with them. I agree, and that's 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.440 being very real. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:08.879 Agree. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.159 I agree. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.639 You know you sit there in your worry. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:12.639 Yeah, I don't know. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.960 They might underestimate them. They got a worse record, and 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.400 don't better throw that record out. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.080 So why is there such focus on how many points 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.840 the Bengals are scoring? They're fifth in the league in scoring. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.760 Then get the number one passing offense, and with this 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.960 five and a half point spread, do we just dismiss 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.280 the fact that they are second to last in the 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.040 league in points allowed. I mean, you go back and 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.280 look at their They gave up forty This is recently, Okay, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.639 in the last month. Their last game against Pittsburgh, they 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.760 gave up forty four. They gave up thirty four to 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.040 the Chargers and a loss. And these are all losses. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.960 Baltimore they gave up thirty five. Okay, they beat Vegas 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.879 forty one to twenty four, and prior to that against Philadelphia, 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.720 they gave up thirty seven thirty seven to seventeen loss. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.480 A few weeks before that overtime lost to Baltimore forty 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.159 one thirty eight, and they gave up thirty eight to 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:07.960 Washington in the third week of the season. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.720 Look at those teams, Bill, Yep, that was a good team. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:11.280 Yes they are. 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.560 Those are good offensive teams. Are we a good offensive team? 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:16.520 Getting better? 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.080 But that's not what I say. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.080 Got a backup quarterback. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.239 Sir, I am talking, sir, Come on, Oh are we are? 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:27.440 We? 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.639 Is our defense as good as those teams? 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.680 And think about the Cowboys points that they've scored. Here 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.080 I'm listing, okay, the Giants game. Okay, how many points 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:42.199 did the offense score? Twenty because it's overshown head to 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.320 pick six? Okay, And you think about the Washington game. Is 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:46.880 it thirty point? What was the score? 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.120 Thirty four to twenty six? 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.960 Yep, thirty four to twenty six. Yeah, turn return and. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:59.320 They also missed two field goals Washington. No, I'm just talking. 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:00.680 I'm just about the yeah. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.879 Yeah, But I'm saying those still have been well, that's all. 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:04.760 I'm so so. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:09.359 Even though the Cowboys have scored thirty four plus twenty 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.560 seven and they're two straight wins and averaging thirty points 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:13.840 a game, it hasn't. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:14.360 Been all offense. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.800 And you know what, the Cowboys, it's okay. They as 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.280 if we were to break down Cincinnati. 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.200 They might have as well. That's right. 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.760 Yeah, it's a tough one. Now, I understand what you're saying. Bill. 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.240 That's where that's why the spread is what it is 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.240 is because they don't think the Cowboys, with the injury 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.760 issues on offense and with the backup quarterback course can 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:38.400 match what. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:39.720 Young offensive line. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.840 And they are fourth in touchdowns by the way, with 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:43.600 forty one. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:45.439 I looked that up today. 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.800 So we don't we need to hold them to field goals. 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:49.639 That's what we need. 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.960 You better hold them to something and hold on to 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:54.840 something and hold on to Burrow. 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.840 And by the way, they their kicker is on injured 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.560 reserved and so they have signed Kaid York who's a 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:07.399 local product, either mckennye or prosper somewhere around here. He 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.399 suld be doing the kicking duties. Evan McPherson was placed 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:11.440 on IR this week. 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.720 Is the state of Texas just taking over all the 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:15.600 professional sports. 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:16.520 What the hell is going on? 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.000 Every time you read somebody out they're from the area. 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.600 We're talking from the state. We're talking about from the 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:29.000 area alone, Frisco, Oak Cliff, DeSoto, McKinnie, dang Man, DNA. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.840 It's football country. That's right, baby, it was back in 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:32.399 your day too. 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.320 It's no doubt. 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.760 Think about your team, no doubt. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.800 You know the most famous player I played against besides 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:43.760 Ricky Me and Joe Green shut up in high school, okay, 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:45.280 Billy Don Jackson. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.399 Oh yeah, Sherman Sherman's that was us. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.000 That's like my knowledge there. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.879 Oh I knew, you know.
